Chapter 912: The Bat-Bogey Hex
What would people say about him in the future, the first prefect to be dismissed from the post because of his stupidity?!
Sure enough, Gleeson’s face flushed suddenly when he heard Evan’s words, and he became extremely excited.
“I challenge you to a duel, Mason!” he yelled and pulled out his wand. “I want to let you know what the right attitude towards seniors is. Dumbledore can make you the Head Boy, but you don’t have that qualification.”
“Sorry, I don’t have time to talk to you right now!” said Evan. “As the Head Boy, I’ll start giving instructions to the prefects for the new term, and then we have to go out to patrol and maintain order. I don’t have time to play a boring game with you. Draco, can you please help get this senior from your House out? I think detention can make him calm down.”
Evan’s words ‘calm down’ were nothing different from adding fuel to the fire.
Before Malfoy, who was named by Evan, reacted, Gleeson had waved his wand and cast a red spell on Evan.
“Stop, Gleeson!”
“Be careful, Evan!”The next second, a small shield appeared in front of Evan to block Gleeson’s curse. Along with the appearance of the shield, the wand that had not been seen till now was quickly pulled out by Evan.
He waved his wand sharply, and in the blink of an eye, Evan’s spell hit Gleeson. His whole face was covered in flapping winged monsters, and he was screaming fiercely, trying to rip the monsters off his face.
The Bat-Bogey Hex, Ginny’s improved version, was very powerful.
This was the first time Evan had used it, and the effect was really amazing. Before the bats on his face disappeared, Gleeson had no way to see clearly ahead, and he was attacked on his face by so many small furry, big-eared monsters…
Gleeson kept cursing, but he couldn’t see clearly, so he could only cast spells around randomly, and the others dodged in a hurry.
“Are you crazy, Gleeson?”
“Stop it!”
The crimson shield in front of him gradually disappeared into the air, and Evan looked at Gleeson, who had lost combat effectiveness in front of him.
He waved his wand and gave Gleeson a Full Body-Bind Curse, giving him peace of mind to enjoy the bats’ excellent service on his face at ease.
According to the amount of magic used by Evan, these bats would probably disappear by the time the train arrived at Hogwarts.
Anyway, the bats didn’t bite. They just kept squirming on his face, sticking out their tongues and licking. They looked like mutant mice.
It was said that before sucking blood, bats would constantly lick that place, and their saliva had anesthetic content. When the licked person felt more and more comfortable and was anesthetized, they started sucking blood!
These bats naturally didn’t suck blood, so, to some extent, Gleeson should be comfortable now. So many bats were licking on his face, serving him with their little tongues…
“Evan, are you okay?” Hermione hurriedly said, everything happened too fast just now.
Evan’s spells were completed in one go, especially the magical shield that blocked Gleeson’s curse; it seemed to have appeared out of thin air.
The others didn’t even know how Evan did it. Could he cast spells without a wand, or was it instantaneous?
In fact, this was a combination of Wandless magic and nonverbal spells. The wand originally played a supporting role. After the magic power reached a certain level, the role of the wand would be reduced. Of course, doing so would consume magic and mental power.
As for the shield that was summoned, it was the white magic that Evan had found in the Black family’s collection not long ago. The strength of this shield was related to the amount of magic input. In theory, it could even resist the Avada Kedavra.
“I’m fine, I was prepared. After all, sneak attacks have always been a Slytherin tradition!” said Evan, looking at Malfoy, whose face had become paler. “Draco, can I trouble you to carry him out? Better not touch the bats on his face.”
“You can’t do that!” the sixth-year Slytherin prefect beside Malfoy shouted. He had raised his wand high, but what happened just now was so fast that he almost didn’t make a move at all.
“I’ll explain to Professor Snape what happened today,” Evan smiled and put his wand away. “If you have any objections to my approach, you can raise it. I’ll always be ready to meet the challenge.”
Under his gaze, the sixth-year Slytherin boy flinched back.
“Let’s carry this idiot out first,” muttered Malfoy. “It’s up to Professor Snape now.”
It didn’t make sense to continue the stalemate. As he’d expected, they couldn’t beat Evan at all. It might be possible if they all worked together, but the other three Houses would not help them either.
After Gleeson left, the atmosphere in the carriage became much more pleasant. The rest of the prefects had no ambition to become Head Boys. Therefore, they were more receptive to Evan.
Some began to ask Evan what was going on, and others were whispering about the duel.
The Head Girl was a seventh-year from Ravenclaw, with a smile on her face all the time, and she asked Evan to speak first.
Evan was likely to serve another four years as the Head Boy, and his status and influence would naturally be different from hers.
“I think everyone should know me, and my requirements are very simple. Since you’re prefects, you must set an example, take the lead in abiding by and maintaining the rules of the school and not causing trouble,” said Evan, looking across their faces. “I also hope that the students’ own affairs will be solved by the Head Boy and Girl, and the school, professors and other forces will not be involved.”
“By the way, if there’s anyone who opposes me being the Head Boy, or has doubts about some of my practices in the future, it’s best to ask your Head of House and the Headmaster to respond through normal channels rather than today’s way. Next time, I promise it won’t be as simple as the Bat-Bogey Hex!”
After seeing Gleeson’s end, probably no one would do it! It was purely uncomfortable to look for trouble with Evan again.
Next, the Head Girl gave instructions to the prefects, telling them what they should do. These were passed down year after year. At the beginning of the new term, the main purpose was to guide the first-years and help them get familiar with the campus.
The punishments imposed by the prefects on the students must be summarized in the hands of the corresponding Head Boy and Head Girl, who would review and confirm whether they were reasonable.
Evan naturally had no time to do this kind of thing, but he could ask Hermione to help…
