Capítulo 59: Silent Casting and Sibling Rivalry
Adrian had aimed his wand at Harry and the spell was halfway out of his mouth when a beam shot from Harry's mouth and it was at that moment that he remembered his brother always did his spells non-verbally.
Adrian's wand flew out of his hand and he flipped backwards in the air, he landed a few meters back as Harry caught Adrian's wand in his hand. Adrian got to his feet, glaring at his brother.
Harry, with a bored expression on his face, tossed Adrian his wand. Adrian caught it and got to his feet, he aimed at Harry.
"Expelliarmus!" He roared, the beam flew at Harry who casually side stepped. "Expelliarmus!" Adrian shouted and this time Harry ducked the beam.
"Protego" Harry blocked the third Expelliarmus that his brother fired.
"I'll get you this time! Expelliarmus!" Adrian screamed, the beam flew at Harry. Adrian was positive that it was going to hit this time.
Harry sighed and raised his wand, everyone watched with amazement as Harry casually swatted the spell away, especially most of the older years as only an some of them couldn't even do that yet. With a flick of his wrist, Harry sent another spell that knocked Adrian to his feet.
"I said disarm only" Lockhart's voice interrupted
"Well done Mr Potter" Snapes complimented the Slytherin Potter "take ten points for excellent duelling. Gryffindor Potter, ten points from Gryffindor for acting like a brat and showing no respect."
"You can't do that!" Adrian objected
"Oh, can't I? I believe I just did" Snape sneered
"Now, let's not get bogged down" Lockhart interrupted "how about we all pair up and practise spells"
Everyone spent the next hour practising with their partners, except for Harry who was instructing Daphne and Rose on their spells. Rose was quick at learning but held back because she didn't want to hurt Daphne, who also was great but had the same problem with not wanting to hurt Rose.
The three were so immersed that they didn't realise that a fight had begun until they heard the screams, the three turned around and saw Malfoy and Adrian grappling on the floor, Ron and Neville were trying to hold back Crabbe and Goyle while Millicent Bulstrode had Hermione Granger in a head lock.
"How the hell did this happen?" Daphne asked
"Now is not the time to wonder how it happened" Harry wrapped an arm around her shoulder and another arm around Rose's shoulders. "Just enjoy the chaos"

Later, Adrian sat with Hermione and Ron and the other Gryffindor's in the common room.
"At least you got a few good punches in on Malfoy" Ron commented
"Yeah" Adrian smiled for a second "by the way, do you guys know what Snape was on about when he talked about those Japanese war duels or whatever they were called?"
"Japanese's war duels" Angelina Johnson spoke "are a special event in Japan. Basically it's a duelling tournament, your brother probably entered the underage version"
"Yeah, but so what? He just won a stupid tournament"
"I agree with Aiden" Hermione said "it's impressive that he won but why is everyone treating him like he did something more?"
"Because the war duels are not like other duels" Katie Bell replied "in a war duel the only rule is that nobody can interfere, apart from that it is anything goes and you can use any weapon or spell that you want. Including the unforgivable."
"What?!" Ron gasped "they can use the unforgivables?!"
"Yeah" Fred nodded "it's allowed for the tournament"
"Plus the Japanese are very different from us" George added
"What does that mean?" Adrian asked curiously
"They teach a lot of offensive spells when they're young" Fred explained
"Yeah" George nodded "they probably know a few curses that we would consider dark, that means that Harry was probably in a duelling tournament with a bunch of little Japanese kids that were probably trying to kill him."
"So he probably could've died in that tournament or at least be incredibly injured"
"I believe that the last person who entered in one from England had lost his leg"
"So if he won and didn't at least get injured then he's probably an incredibly good duellist"
"He can't be that good" Adrian replied unbelievingly
"Adrian, he blocked you with a protego shield" Katie Bell reminded him "that's too advanced for second years. Plus he swatted your spell away"
"I can't even do that" Angelina Johnson pointed out "oi, Oliver, can you do that?"
"No" Oliver wood shook his head "they don't even try and teach us that until seventh year"
"So how the bloody hell did Harry learn it then?!" Adrian demanded
"Language" Hermione scolded "and I don't know. But like I've been saying, there's something off about your brother. Every time we learn a new spell he does it on the first go"
"First go" Katie Bell blinked "it usually takes at least two or three tries to perform a spell after you have all the wand movements and incantation down"
"He doesn't use the incantations" Ron said "he never says the spells"
"You mean he does all of his spells non-verbally?!" Oliver wood blurted out in shock
"Uh…yeah"
"That's awesome! They only just started teaching non-verbal spells this year, do you think he'd be willing to help me?"
"Probably not" Hermione answered "he keeps to himself mostly, the only other people he hangs out with are Daphne Greengrass, that Rose girl and Tracy Davis. Sometimes he hands out with Blaise as well but that's about it."
"Damn it" Oliver groaned "I could save so much time if I learnt how to silent cast"
"Time which could be spent on quidditch" Angelina said knowingly
"Obviously" Oliver replied, without any shame or embarrassment.
