Hogwarts: Not Even Voldemort Can Stop My Learning

"Oh no!"

Harry cried out inwardly, hastily deflecting Ryan's spell with an Shield Charm, only to be tripped himself by Michael's Leg-Locker Curse.

"He's down!"

Michael shouted, panting as he ran over, pointing his wand at Harry, his arm trembling slightly.

In truth, the time was short, and he hadn't run far, but he inexplicably felt hot all over, his breathing labored, and his heart pounding.

Harry's wand had flown out of his hand when he fell; he was helpless. Michael was confident of victory.

But Harry, lying on the ground, showed no sign of dejection. Instead, he looked in surprise at something beside him.

Beside him?

Why isn't Ryan saying anything?

In an instant, this thought flashed through Michael's mind. He yelled, "Stun—"

Suddenly, a spell hit him in the back, and Michael fell like a statue.

He saw Ryan's body beside him, stiff as a wooden post.

"Beep—"

Hagrid blew his whistle, his deep voice like distant, rumbling thunder...

"White Team wiped out! Black Team wins!"

Michael blinked hard, then saw a person suddenly "grow" out of the ground next to the pumpkin.

Wade appeared as if squeezing out of thin air. He smiled at Michael, then undid everyone's spells.

"That was amazing, Wade!" Harry jumped up, saying happily, "I really thought we were done for!"

Michael shrieked in disbelief, "A Disillusionment Charm?"

"Just learned it," Wade said.

"No... I wasn't asking when you learned it..."

Michael mumbled, his eyes appearing unfocused.

Ryan stared silently at Wade, his gaze reproachful—How is this any different from a dimensionality reduction attack?

Though Ryan didn't know what a "dimensionality reduction attack" was, he felt the same way.

Theo pulled Neville up, and they brushed the dirt off themselves, accepting their defeat quite well.

Then they went to retrieve the others.

"A Disillusionment Charm?" Padma said in shock after her spell was undone. "Is that like a spell that makes you invisible, like wearing an Invisibility Cloak?"

Wade explained, "A Disillusionment Charm isn't an external object... And you can't expect there to be no invisible enemies, right?"

"But we haven't even mastered the Stunning Spell yet..."

Padma said, feeling wronged.

She couldn't shake the feeling that her side had been bullied.

George sighed, while Fred smugly winked at him.

"But we had more people, and we hid a minute early, giving us a head start," Michael said, sitting on the ground, dejectedly.

After the teams were formed, he understood the reason for the grouping.

The Black Team and White Team should have been evenly matched, but their numbers were unequal, their preparation time was unequal, and by leaving early, they had an advantage in ambushing and setting traps.

Clearly, in Wade's view, the three members of the Black Team were stronger than their seven combined.

Fred and George were probably similar, but Wade and Harry were stronger than all six of them.

Wade was one thing; Michael had been mentally prepared for him.

But Harry had joined the SSC later than all of them. While he learned spells quickly, Michael had always considered his academic performance to be average.

Unexpectedly, in a real confrontation, Harry, even when surrounded, had taken down two of them in a row.

Checking the time, only half of the allotted thirty minutes had passed.

The seven members of the White Team gathered to discuss tactics.

"We shouldn't have tried to hide at first," Hermione said, annoyed. "Padma and I separated from you, and they found and defeated us easily."

Padma nodded beside her.

"We had more people; we should have used our numerical advantage."

"We should also know the surrounding terrain," Michael suggested. "It's best if everyone runs through it once to get familiar with the environment."

...

Watching the members of the White Team split up and run in all directions, Harry asked in confusion, "What are they doing?"

"Trying to find good places for an ambush, maybe?" Fred guessed, then asked Wade, "They seem to have a new plan. Should we also get familiar with the terrain?"

"It's no use."

Wade pointed to the towering Hagrid, who was busy moving a giant pumpkin.

"See?" Wade said. "After each round, Hagrid adjusts the pumpkins. He even puts his chickens and pigs into the pumpkin patch to create more interference."

"How should we play next? The same as this time?" Harry asked eagerly.

"I don't think so," Fred said. "All seven of them might stick together, and if we split up, we'll easily get surrounded."

The two whispered, discussing rough tactics and constantly adjusting their plan.

Wade didn't interfere much; he was quietly absorbing everyone's experience and feeling their growth.

The second round of the confrontation began quickly.

This time, the white team lost even faster.

They managed to team up and take down Harry and Fred, only "sacrificing" George on their side.

But then, Wade used Transfiguration on the vines covering the ground, sending dozens of snakes attacking everyone. The young wizards shrieked in terror, their formations completely ruined, and then they were all taken down by the Stunning Spell.

Third round.

"Wade, your magic is too much like cheating! We can't possibly win this way!"

Michael started to whine, hinting at Padma to fake crying, attempting to emotionally manipulate them.

Wade rolled his eyes heavenward and asked, "How about Harry and Fred join your team then?"

"Okay!" Michael said readily, and Padma immediately stopped crying.

Fred seemed a little disappointed, but Harry thought it was a great idea.

He also wanted to see what it felt like to be Wade's enemy.

Nine heads huddled together, discussing for a full twenty minutes.

The Weasley Twins even mimicked their team captain Wood, drawing complex tactical diagrams with triangles and lines.

Wade and Hagrid sat on the pumpkins, drinking tea and waiting for them to be ready.

"Nine against one, are you confident?" Hagrid asked him worriedly.

Wade poked a small ant crawling on a pumpkin with his finger and grinned mischievously. "They think I'm the one with fewer people, but what if it's the other way around?"

The game began. Some of the nine kept watch, some lurked, some set traps, and some even disguised themselves as pumpkins to ambush.

Wade yawned lazily, not even bothering to get off the pumpkin.

The Engorgement Charm worked wonders.

Everyone shrieked as they were chased by a swarm of ants and spiders. Forget getting close to Wade; just not crying from fright was a victory.

Hagrid burst into laughter, tumbling off his high stool.

"Forbidden! Forbidden!"

After the round, even Hermione shrieked in frustration, "Wade, you are not allowed to use the Engorgement Charm anymore!"

Wade looked helpless. "Why don't you just use it too?"

Hermione stared at him expressionlessly.

Was it that they didn't want to use it?

The ants they enlarged would just turn around and attack them!
