Chapter 104: Really slap in the face

 “Someone is dueling!”

At the edge of the foyer, someone shouted. The students who were having dinner rushed towards the foyer curiously, wanting to see what happened.

"What's going on?" Albert held a homemade sandwich, followed the Weasley twins, and followed the crowd to the entrance of the foyer.

“On the lawn near the Black Lake, Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw students were dueling.”

 At once, Albert figured out what was going on. Truman's duel with Ravenclaw Prefect Noach has been brought forward?

By the time everyone ran towards the lawn, the duel between the two sides was over.

Notch, the prefect of Ravenclaw, was knocked to the ground, with traces of being beaten on his face. As the winner, Truman was standing in front of Notch and was reading something.

When Albert and others hurried over, the last scene they saw was Truman squatting down, stuffing a picture of a chocolate frog into Notch's lips, and then surrounded by several Hufflepuff students, with a victory The posture of the reader left.

"What's going on? What happened?" Fred asked other people around him for information and soon figured out what happened.

During the duel, Truman took the lead and attacked the Ravenclaw prefect with a full-body binding spell. After he succeeded, he put away his wand, raised his fist and beat Noki so hard that his face was swollen. .

Before leaving, Truman also held a picture of a chocolate frog and read a story about Bridget Wenlock, and said that the famous arithmetic divinationist in the 13th century came from Hufflepuff.

Everyone quickly figured out the reason for the duel. The two sides were arguing about whether Bridget Wenlock graduated from Hufflepuff or Ravenclaw, and finally evolved into a duel to resolve the issue.

"What a relief, not all famous experts are from Ravenclaw!" A senior Hufflepuff girl waved her fist fiercely to express her thoughts, "Notch must know that Bridget Wenlock is from Hufflepuff, if you know you are wrong and still refuse to repent, you deserve to have your face swollen."

Of course, some people are also talking about Truman's sneak attack.

 “Noci, a prefect, had the nerve to duel with a third-year student.” Many people didn’t care much about Truman’s sneak attack on Noci.

After all, this duel itself is not equitable. If you don’t fight back, is it possible to stand and get beaten?

Especially after knowing the cause of the incident, more people were excited and applauded when Truman swollen Notch's face.

"That bastard, that despicable guy!" Dinochi couldn't help but cursed after being lifted from the body-binding spell. Draw a piece of chocolate frog and tear it into pieces in one go.

Yes, it's not hard to see that Notch doesn't care whether Bridget Wenlock graduates from Hufflepuff. His duel with Truman was only because of other people's correctness and the other party's repeated provocations.

However, he was attacked by the other party and was beaten so hard that his cheek was swollen and painful.

 The students who were watching all knew why this guy was beaten, and the joking and gloating looks made Nuoqi even more angry.

　　If you refuse to admit that you are wrong and want to bully others because of your age, you deserve to be beaten. At least that is what many people think.

Before Notch could vent his anger, he was taken away by Professor Flitwick who came in a hurry.

"It's so cool. This matter can be discussed for several years." Fred looked very excited, and his expression seemed to say why it wasn't me who went up to the duel!

"But, I'm more curious, why did their duel come earlier?" Albert ate the sandwich in his hand and said to himself: "Truman told me that his duel with the Ravenclaw prefect was on the weekend."

 “How do you know?” The three of them looked at Albert, with a hint of astonishment in their voices.

"The last time I met him in the library, Truman told me and invited me to come over and watch the duel." Albert explained.

 “You didn’t tell us.” George complained dissatisfiedly.

“There are still a few days!” When Albert and others returned to the restaurant, everyone was talking about this matter, especially Truman’s last behavior.

As for whether the two people will be severely punished for solving the problem through duel in private, no one will pay attention to this.

  Anyway, it would be fine as long as the person being punished is not you.

 On Friday night, Albert met Truman in the library. Perhaps, this guy was waiting for him here on purpose.

"Notch was detained for a week by Professor Flitwick." Truman happily announced the good news to Albert. "I was supposed to be detained for a week. However, Professor Sprout only gave a slight warning. I looked up and gave me a box of coconut sorbet."

As he spoke, Truman took out two pieces of packaged coconut sorbet from the pocket of his robe and placed them in front of Albert, apparently intending to share the snack presented by Professor Sprout with Albert.

Truman seemed very excited when he talked about it, so...he was eventually kicked out of the library by Mrs. Pince with a feather duster.

 Looking at Truman's running back, Albert suddenly wanted to laugh.

Under Mrs. Pince’s gaze, he immediately stuffed two pieces of coconut sorbet into his pocket, pretending that nothing happened, and planned to continue doing his homework.

However, Mrs. Pince seemed to have no intention of letting Albert go.

In the end, under the gaze of the librarian, Albert had no choice but to pack up his things and get out of the library. At least, not driven out with a feather duster.

"Really." Albert stood in the corridor outside the library and took out the coconut sorbet from his pocket. After opening the wrapping paper, he took a small bite. It was very cold and had a strong coconut smell. It felt a bit... It's similar to the ice mice sold by Honeydukes, except it's not as ice-cold, and...it tastes good.

"What's your advice for him?" Suddenly, a voice came from the side. Albert turned his head and saw a red-haired girl standing next to him.

"Good evening, Isobel." Albert greeted the red-haired girl, because they were in the same club and they were actually familiar with each other.

“Gabriel Truman claimed that he was just looking for Noach’s theory.” Isobel raised her eyebrows and said, “However, it seems that it was you who gave him the idea.”

 “Here, this stuff tastes good.”

“Are you planning to bribe me?” Isobel looked at the piece of coconut sorbet handed to her, her expression became very strange.

"If you insist." Albert didn't want to talk about this topic, but said with a smile: "I just told Truman, never try to wake up someone who is pretending to sleep, unless you use your fists."

 After saying that, Albert turned and left.

“Unless you use your fists?” Isobel stared at the coconut sorbet in front of her, slowly opened the wrapping paper, put the coconut sorbet into her mouth, and after finishing the pastry, she walked towards the library.
