Every wizard had magic they excelled at.
It had to be admitted that the wizarding world did have so-called all-rounder wizards, as well as powerful figures who seemed to have no weaknesses at all.
Strictly speaking, though, while powerful wizards might not have any real shortcomings, there was always one Charm they were best at or most famous for.
For example, Voldemort's Killing Curse and his eerie way of moving, Snape's self-created Sectumsempra, Newt Scamander's personally bred Magical Creatures, and Dumbledore's wandless magic.
These could all be said to be personal trademarks that represented them.
Naturally, as one of the top wizards among the Death Eaters and someone deeply trusted by Voldemort, Barty Crouch Jr. also had magic and Charms he excelled at.
And now, at this critical moment, he had used one of them.
That was...
From a certain point of view, it could almost be called an all-purpose spell, the Transfiguration Spell!
...
The Transfiguration Spell.
It sounded rather ordinary and common.
But first, one had to understand something.
Although the Transfiguration Spell could not create whatever object you wanted out of thin air, nor could it transform something into a powerful magical life-form, once you had fully mastered it, you could still accomplish astonishing things.
It could even influence the course of an entire battlefield.
Just like now.
The giant dragon currently beneath Barty Crouch Jr.'s feet.
To be precise, it was a giant dragon created from a Broomstick that Barty Crouch Jr. had transformed with the Transfiguration Spell!
"Draco Malfoy!"
The flying dragon's silhouette, along with Barty Crouch Jr.'s furious roar, immediately drew the eyes of everyone on the battlefield.
Especially that wooden giant dragon, on which the patterns of the Broomstick could still faintly be seen. It became the focus of everyone's attention.
Among them, the ones most worried were naturally Hermione, Pansy, and the other girls.
Because in their eyes, the gap that had originally existed because of Norberta had been closed at once by Barty Crouch Jr.'s profound Transfiguration Spell.
...
In any case, faced with Barty Crouch Jr.'s surprise attack and the Transfiguration Spell he had cast, Draco was indeed somewhat surprised, but he did not panic or lose his composure.
On the contrary, after seeing his opponent clearly, Draco took the initiative and charged to meet him.
His golden eyes gleamed like dragon pupils, narrowing into vertical slits as Draco gave a soft laugh. "It really is an advanced Transfiguration Spell. But... a fake will always be fake. Just like when you infiltrated Hogwarts before, let me shatter your delusion!"
"Roar!"
Norberta, who understood Draco's meaning, seemed determined to prove his words. She beat her wings and flew straight toward Barty Crouch Jr.
That dragon roar sounded as though she had been enraged by the fake fire dragon before her.
Boom, boom, boom!
Flashes of magic.
Bodies falling from the sky.
They were the Death Eaters caught in the fallout from Draco and Barty Crouch Jr.'s battle.
These Death Eaters had no ability whatsoever to interfere in the battlefield between the two of them. They died like cannon fodder, making these fanatical Death Eaters feel, for the first time in a long while, fear toward a wizard other than the Dark Lord.
And that person was a minor wizard who had not even graduated yet.
Draco Malfoy!
