Hogwarts Card System Chapter 113

## Chapter 113: Wizard Bloody Boxing Match

Lockhart’s aggressive move to leech off Neville’s fame even angered Hermione: “Neville doesn’t like this! How can this person be like this?!”

“Let go of Neville!” Harry was already rolling up her sleeves, ready to let this blond man taste the iron fist of the Gryffindor boxing champion.

But Ted was faster. He didn’t even need to pull out his wand; he just made a strange gesture and then quietly pointed—Lockhart’s butt, a dozen meters away, suddenly started smoking!

“Hey! Fire! It’s on fire!” someone suddenly shouted.

Then the surrounding middle-aged witches pointed at Lockhart’s smoking butt and screamed, just like a Muggle female driver who’s about to crash into a wall and can only scream in panic~

“Ow~”

Lockhart was stunned, then he felt the pain. He jumped up over a meter high with an “Ow!” and ignored Neville, slapping his butt hard, “Clap clap clap clap~” The sound was very loud and crisp, making the British wizards watching from further away’s eyes light up.

Although Lockhart slapped hard, the fire on his butt had already started, and flames were visible on his robes.

He no longer cared about leeching off Neville’s fame and quickly jumped around, pulling off his clothes.

The ape-like photographer next to him was incredibly excited, still snapping photos, “Click click click~”

Finally, some witches reacted, pulling out their wands to try and extinguish the fire.

But these witches who worshipped Lockhart weren’t proper wizards. For a moment, they used everything from Aguamenti to Freezing Charms. Someone even made a loud bang, using some unknown magic, and actually blew up Lockhart’s clothes, leaving him in nothing but a pair of white-based, pink-strawberry boxer briefs!

Fan Witch: Just tell me if the fire is out or not?

The moment he was left in just his underwear, Lockhart himself was stunned, and so were the onlookers. The wizards further away even showed signs of surging forward.

But soon, the private fans reacted.

Those fans were still very supportive of him:

“Ah~ Lockhart’s underwear is really unique, I like it.”

“The pink strawberries and white base are a perfect match~”

“Do you know how hard he works? He talked with the she-devil all night long…”

However, Lockhart himself couldn’t stand it; he was a respectable man!

With a scream, “Ah~~~”, he covered his face and ran!

This also aroused the desires of some people, and many female fans and male wizards who were watching the show lifted their robes and chased after him.

The scene immediately descended into chaos, with people running back and forth, advancing and retreating, up and down… like a bullfight.

Neville finally took the opportunity to escape back, his robes almost torn off.

Still shaken, he angrily shoved a stack of Lockhart’s autographed books into Ron’s arms: “No need to buy them, just copy this set! We’ll all use this set of books!”

Ron and Jerry’s faces immediately broke into smiles: Good, good!

At this point, Hermione no longer spoke out against piracy; even she, who respected her teachers, found this person unbearable.

This person couldn’t even be considered a professor; he had no professional ethics at all!

Everyone was happily discussing Lockhart’s embarrassing incident when suddenly, the Weasley twins, who were watching happily, froze. George pulled Fred and then pointed into Flourish and Blotts.

Then Ted and the others saw the twins suddenly rush into the bookstore, still not knowing what was happening.

Ron suddenly realized something was wrong and shouted, “Dad?!”

Ted, being sharp-eyed, saw Mr. Weasley, with his red hair, and Lucius Malfoy, with his light blond hair, engaged in a passionate street brawl inside the bookstore!

Punch for punch, it was very bloody and exciting!

The twins, who had rushed ahead, were stopped by a worried and grim-faced Molly, who was trying to break up the fight: “Stop! Don’t fight!”

You can’t kill anyone without a wand!

Okay, that last line was Ted’s mental addition.

The bookstore clerk on the side was so anxious he was almost crying: “Gentlemen, two respectable gentlemen, please stop, stop!”

However, the only thing the two respectable gentlemen wanted to do now was to fully exert themselves and defeat the other.

The twins, held back by their mother, were still cheering for Mr. Weasley: “Punch him, Dad, punch him!”

Fred: “Kick him in the crotch! Kick him hard in the crotch!”

“Oh, shut up, you two, shut up!” Molly pressed down on her two sons with a headache, to prevent a scene of father and sons fighting together.

And Mr. Weasley actually got inspired by his sons and delivered a kick aimed at the groin.

Fortunately, Lucius also heard the twins’ shouts and was prepared, clamping his legs together to avoid a tragedy, otherwise, the Malfoy family could forget about having a second child in the future.

However, the twins were stopped by their mother, but Miss Paige, on the other side, was not to be underestimated. She picked up the secondhand cauldron her family bought for Ginny and threw it at Lucius’s face.

Lucius ultimately failed to completely dodge it and was hit directly in the face by the secondhand cauldron. After a cry of pain, he staggered and was about to fall.

Mr. Weasley was about to follow up with a sleeper hold or something similar, but then the bookstore owner arrived.

“Enough, gentlemen! This is a bookstore, not a gladiatorial arena! Stop it now!”

The owner of Flourish and Blotts still had considerable influence. The bookstore clerks couldn’t stop them, but his appearance halted the two men’s passionate fight.

Mainly, Lucius felt a bit overwhelmed by the numbers, while Mr. Weasley had gained the upper hand.

Lucius rubbed his face and stood firm. He picked up the secondhand cauldron from the ground, then picked up the secondhand textbooks he had bought for Ginny and threw them in, handing them to the flustered, blushing little girl next to him: “Take good care of these, little girl, this is the only thing your father can give you!”

He glanced at Mr. Weasley: “A few dozen Galleons a month, what are you risking your life for!”

These words almost made Mr. Weasley start a second round, and Ron at the door also got agitated and wanted to rush over and beat Lucius, but Ted stopped him.

“Calm down. This is an adult matter, it’s not our time to interfere yet,” Ted said.

Can’t let you mess up the plot.

Ted also thought about the next school year and finally decided to try and maintain the original plot.

If the diary wasn’t destroyed according to the plot, who knew if it would become Voldemort’s trump card later?

That was a Horcrux. If it wasn’t destroyed this time, it would be difficult to find another opportunity.

He had heard the twins say earlier that Mr. Weasley had recently led a special operation to crack down on dark magic artifacts.

Some families with dark connections were targeted, including the Malfoys.

Mr. Weasley had led people to search Malfoy Manor, forcing their family to dispose of many irregular items.

Although the Malfoy family still seemed quite prosperous, they were actually far from what they used to be.

Lucius’s father was a classmate of Voldemort’s when they were in school and was one of the first members of the Death Eaters Voldemort recruited during his student days.

Although most of those early members didn’t amount to much and didn’t achieve much, that was because Voldemort himself hadn’t amounted to much at the time.

And when Voldemort lost his nose, and these second-generation Death Eaters like Lucius began to gradually take control of their families, the great war in the British wizarding world began.

It lasted for ten years, making wizards turn pale at the mention of Death Eaters.

These second-generation Death Eaters ran rampant in the wizarding world for many years, acting utterly recklessly. Who among them didn’t have a few lives on their hands?

When Voldemort fell, these Death Eaters had a hard time.

Although pure-blood families had a habit of not putting all their eggs in one basket, many large families only allowed a few members to join the Death Eaters—for example, Regulus in the Black family, Sirius’s younger brother, who stole the locket in advance.

Large families would send one or two members to join the Death Eaters as a gesture; they certainly wouldn’t let the entire family get involved.

Even in imperial China, emperors couldn’t make ancient families fully commit, let alone a madman like Voldemort.

However, the wizarding population was sparse.

Not putting all eggs in one basket—the problem was there were many baskets, but only a few eggs.

For example, Lucius was the only heir in his generation, and he could only inherit his father’s “legacy” and join the Death Eaters.

This led to them having almost nowhere to run when the reckoning came.

Many families in the wizarding world almost died out because of this.
