Three-Month Agreement

"Malfoy, stop fooling around. Hogwarts no longer uses duels to resolve disputes."

Professor McGonagall said gently, "If you have any conflicts with Ron Weasley, you can tell the professor, and the professor will help mediate between you."

Hogwarts is a place for learning, not for young wizards to fight. Professor McGonagall instinctively resisted the idea of dueling.

"Professor McGonagall, I did not intend to challenge Weasley to a duel in public, but Weasley's despicable act has enraged me!"

Malfoy handed the Memory Stone to Professor McGonagall.

Professor McGonagall naturally knew that this was a magical artifact capable of recording images, and immediately tapped it twice with her wand to activate the Memory Stone.

"Before the duel, both sides need to perform a wizard's salute to each other, indicating that they are both participating in the duel voluntarily!"

Goyle, dressed in a suit, appears on the screen, flanked by Malfoy and Ron Weasley.

"Before the duel, I must ask Mr. Draco Malfoy and Mr. Weasley. Ron Weasley whether you are participating in this duel voluntarily!"

Malfoy and Ron Weasley answered in unison, "Yes!"

A few minutes later, the scene of Ron Weasley launching a sneak attack while Malfoy was bowing was perfectly captured.

"You all went for a nighttime stroll around the Clock Tower last night to watch a wizard duel between two junior wizards?!"

Professor McGonagall was furious and yelled at Lester, "How dare you do this?"

He knew Lester was the eldest brother of Slytherin, and if nothing unexpected happened, this must have been organized by Lester.

Lester: "..."

He miscalculated; he thought everyone's attention would be on Ron Weasley's despicable sneak attack.

Unexpectedly, Professor McGonagall was more concerned about their nighttime outing.

Lester said awkwardly, "Professor, you might not believe it, but we all sleepwalked yesterday. When we opened our eyes, we were in the Clock Tower!"

Professor McGonagall: "..."

This is a collective sleepwalking game; what are you pretending for?

Just as he was about to speak, Professor Flitwick, who was standing nearby, couldn't hold back any longer and stepped forward.

"Professor McGonagall, we can talk about the young wizard's nighttime stroll later. I think the Weasley wizard's sneak attack during the duel is what we need to address right now!"

Professor Flitwick usually remained silent regarding the school's decisions.

Even if the student who made the mistake was Ravenclaw House, Professor Flitwick wouldn't utter a word of reproach no matter how much you scolded him.

But Professor Flitwick finally couldn't hold back his words; he had to say something!

Professor Flitwick never objected to Professor McGonagall's decisions; he simply followed them silently.

Now that Professor Flitwick has finally spoken up, he has to give Professor Flitwick face.

"Alright, then let's put the Slytherin boys' nighttime stroll on hold for now," Professor McGonagall glared at Lester.

Lester couldn't help himself and muttered under his breath, "Professor, we're sleepwalking..."

Professor McGonagall: "..."

Suppressing the urge to hang Lester, Professor McGonagall looked at Malfoy and Ron Weasley and said seriously:

"So, how do you hope to resolve this matter?"

Malfoy spoke up without hesitation, "Professor, I wish to have a fair duel with Weasley. Ron Weasley, you despicable scoundrel who only knows how to resort to sneak attacks, do you dare?"

Ron Weasley was furious, but he hadn't lost his temper. He knew he was no match for Malfoy right now.

However, now that everyone's attention is focused on him, Ron Weasley feels like he's in a bind.

"Ron Weasley, agree, I can be your coach!"

Just then, a bright, cheerful voice rang in Ron Weasley's ears, and Professor Quirrell came to Ron Weasley's side.

"The young wizards' duels are unruly and without any discipline. I propose that each duelist should have a professor as their mentor to train them."

"So, Ron Weasley, would you like to become my student and let me teach you how to duel?"

Ron Weasley was overjoyed upon hearing this and quickly replied, "Of course, Professor Quirrell, you are simply my idol! With you teaching me dueling, I believe I can definitely defeat Malfoy!"

Quirrell simply smiled, while Malfoy's face was indeed extremely grim.

As the sole heir to the Malfoy family, Draco Malfoy had access to a wider range of information than the average young wizard.

Malfoy was somewhat aware of Quirrell's power as a nemesis of dark wizards.

With Quirrell teaching Ron Weasley, he's definitely going to have some trouble.

"Draco, I'll be your mentor," Professor Snape, stepping forward with a dark expression and glaring at Quirrell.

That bastard! He's been selling fake medicine under his own name in Knockturn Alley, and now he dares to show his face in front of me.

Snape had already made up his mind that when Malfoy and Ron Weasley dueled, he would also take the opportunity to duel Quirrell.

He promised that if he didn't make Quirrell's shit come out, he would consider himself clean!

Quirrell was somewhat bewildered by Snape's hostility towards him.

"Master, has that old Snape lost his mind? I feel like he hates me."

Quirrell muttered under his breath, "Did that war really mess with his brain? He always has that stern face, I wonder who he's trying to impress!"

Voldemort: "..."

"Severus, Ron Weasley, and Draco are all novice wizards; they don't know any spells at all."

Quirrell said calmly, "How about this: you and I will each teach them for three months, and after the final exams, they can have a duel."

Although he really wanted to beat Quirrell to a pulp right now, Snape nodded in agreement with so many people watching.

Afterwards, both sides went their separate ways, but the repercussions of the incident spread rapidly throughout Hogwarts.

In the corner, Quirrell patted Ron Weasley on the shoulder and said gently, "Ron Weasley, your father and I are friends, that's why I'm helping you. I can't just stand by and watch you be humiliated."

"I will pass on all my combat experience and spells to you, so please come to my office every afternoon, okay?"

Ron Weasley was very grateful, but somewhat embarrassed, he said:

"Professor, I still need to be in solitary confinement for another month, so I don't have..."

"It's alright, I'll speak to Professor McGonagall myself and have him set up the confinement location in my office."

Quirrell winked playfully at Ron Weasley and said, "Don't worry, Professor McGonagall will grant my request because of the duel."

In the distance, Lester watched Ron Weasley's excited face and silently mourned for him.

It's hard to say whether Ron Weasley was lucky or unlucky, but his mentor was definitely more impressive than Snape, and in fact, far superior in Snape.

But this guy is Voldemort!

If nothing unexpected happens, it seems that poor Harry Potter is in mortal danger again.
