At this moment, Hermione had already cast a Rain-and-Fog Charm, while Harry continued to wield his best Dragon, attempting a brute-force attack.
Hermione had no choice but to intensify the rain curtain.
Steam immediately spread beyond the designated duelling area.
Hermione began to constantly flash her position, while simultaneously waving her wand at the rolling black clouds above.
She hoped to use these clouds to summon lightning!
Meanwhile, Harry quickly tried to pinpoint Hermione's figure in the mist, attempting to close the distance.
"Damn it! Is this second-year?"
"What's up with Granger? Did she evolve over the holiday?"
"Get out of the way, back up, back up! Make more room for them, hey, you're stepping on me."
Howl slightly raised his hand, trapping the rain and fog within a transparent shield.
On the other side, Dumbledore continued:
"This is another point I find good: children can experience the sensation of spells narrowly missing them in a relatively safe environment.
Similarly, I also hope they will better understand the power of the spells they wield, thereby developing a sense of reverence!"
"Yes, yes." Newt wholeheartedly agreed. "When I used to work at the Ministry of Magic, I often saw many people who were unskilled causing mishaps.
Even many adult Wizards still lack some of the most basic understanding of magic."
At the same time, in the battlefield, Hermione also keenly noticed the shield rising around them.
Soon, an idea formed in her mind.
Environment... controller...
Mr. Jones's words kept flashing through her mind.
One needs to have an extremely high sensitivity to the surrounding environment, using it to make various advantageous decisions with reactions beyond ordinary people.
When the mist rose, she had stopped the rain from falling. However, at this moment...
Everyone around them heard the pattering of rain again, their expressions filled with anticipation.
Meanwhile, dark clouds in the sky continuously gathered strength, crackling with energy.
The next moment, violent blue lightning erupted across the entire shield.
Blue light and the roar of lightning burst into everyone's ears.
Even Howl was a little surprised.
How… how could she think of using such a full-coverage method?!
Snape, standing nearby, revealed a satisfied smile, twirling his wand in his palm: "Aha… a foolish choice, quite fitting with my image of Gryffindor. I just hope Madam Pomfrey isn't too angry when she sees her hair all singed."
Then, the clouds and rain curtain quickly dispersed.
Crackling lightning continuously encircled a standing figure, emitting a dazzling light.
However, there was absolutely no injury on that person.
It was as if she was one with the lightning!
Such a scene made many people hold their breath for a moment.
Harry stood in front of Hermione, saying helplessly, "Remember what I told you before, about that guy who used Confundo on himself?"
"Of course, I remember," Hermione lay weakly on the floor.
"I'm also trying to use some spells on myself. Due to the difficulty, the first one I tried was the Shield Charm, which inherently has a 'body-hugging' feel to it!"
"Looks like your practice paid off," Hermione grimaced, a scorched black mark on the tip of her nose.
She tried to prop herself up, but her whole body ached. Harry had to quickly bend down.
"Don't move, the lightning might have injured your internal organs." Harry gently supported Hermione's waist.
Then he said helplessly, "Why did you think of using this method?"
"At least there's a chance for a draw, isn't there?" Hermione's little dark face flushed slightly, and she rolled her eyes at him: "But now it seems I've lost again."
"That's normal, isn't it? Reparo—" Harry said, waving his wand to cast a healing spell.
??
Hermione's face showed a stiff smile.
She suddenly understood a little of the emotion contained in Draco's smiling nod.
"Alright, alright, alright."
Harry paused, then reacted: "I mean, uh… Uncle Howl beat me up for a long time, so I'm a bit thick-skinned.
If you choose this method of mutual destruction, I can definitely stand longer."
"Alright, alright, alright."
Howl clapped his hands, drawing the children's attention back.
"A very splendid duel, I think we can have some applause."
On the field, thunderous applause erupted.
"Tsk…" Snape didn't see the scene he had imagined and was a bit displeased.
Moreover…
"Potter, does using such force in a duel with a girl to injure her make you satisfied?" His voice sounded as if it was squeezed from his throat.
Harry could tell that Snape, for some reason, was very displeased…
"Uh… Professor, I just wanted to…"
"Professor, Harry was just giving his all," Hermione said: "Giving your all is the greatest respect you can show your opponent in a duel!"
Snape became even more displeased…
