"Someone is dueling!"
Near the entrance hall, someone shouted, and the students who were having dinner curiously rushed toward the entrance hall, wanting to see what was happening.
"What's going on?" Albert held his homemade sandwich and followed the Weasley twins as they joined the crowd surging toward the entrance hall.
"Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw students are dueling on the lawn near the Black Lake."
In an instant, Albert understood what was happening. Did Gabriel Truman's duel with Ravenclaw Prefect Norbert happen earlier than expected?
By the time everyone rushed to the lawn, the duel between the two sides had already ended.
Ravenclaw Prefect Norbert was knocked down on the ground, with marks of being punched on his face. Gabriel Truman, as the victor, stood in front of Norbert, reciting something.
When Albert and the others hurried over, the last scene they saw was Gabriel Truman squatting down and stuffing a Chocolate Frog card into Norbert's mouth. Then, surrounded by several Hufflepuff students, he left with the posture of a victor.
"What happened? What exactly happened?" Fred asked around to gather information and quickly figured out what had happened.
During the duel, Gabriel Truman took the initiative and attacked Ravenclaw Prefect Norbert with a Full Body-Bind Curse. After successfully disarming him, Gabriel put away his wand and mercilessly punched Norbert, swelling his face.
Before leaving, Gabriel also held a Chocolate Frog card and recited a passage about Bridget Wenlock, a famous arithmancer from the 13th century, stating that she belonged to Hufflepuff.
Everyone quickly understood the reason for the duel. The two sides were arguing about whether Bridget Wenlock graduated from Hufflepuff or Ravenclaw, which eventually escalated into resolving the issue through a duel.
"It feels great! Not all famous experts come from Ravenclaw!" a senior Hufflepuff girl vigorously waved her fist and expressed her thoughts. "Norbert must have known that Bridget Wenlock is from Hufflepuff but refused to admit his mistake. He deserves to have his face swollen."
Of course, there were also people discussing Gabriel Truman's sneak attack.
"Norbert is a prefect and still had the nerve to duel a third-year student." Many people didn't pay much attention to Gabriel Truman's sneak attack.
After all, the duel itself was unequal. If you didn't fight back, were you supposed to just stand there and be beaten?
Especially after knowing the reason behind the incident, more people cheered and got excited about Gabriel Truman swelling Norbert's face.
"That jerk, despicable guy!" Norbert couldn't help but curse loudly after being released from the Full Body-Bind Curse and struggling to get up from the ground. The Ravenclaw Prefect was trembling with anger, and he took out the Chocolate Frog card from his mouth and tore it into pieces.
Yes, it was not difficult to see that Norbert didn't care whether Bridget Wenlock graduated from Hufflepuff or not. His duel with Gabriel Truman was merely due to the other's correctness and repeated provocations.
However, he was ambushed and beaten by the other party, and his cheek swelled and hurt.
The onlooking students knew why this guy was being beaten, and their mocking and gloating eyes made Norbert even more furious.
Being wrong and refusing to admit it, yet wanting to bully others with age, getting beaten was just what he deserved. At least, that's what many people thought.
Before Norbert had a chance to vent his anger, Professor Flitwick hurriedly came and took him away.
"This is so cool; this incident will be discussed for years!" Fred looked excited, and his expression seemed to say, "Why wasn't it me who went up to duel?"
"But I'm more curious, why did their duel happen earlier?" Albert finished eating his sandwich and muttered to himself, "Gabriel told me that his duel with the Ravenclaw Prefect was scheduled for the weekend."
"How did you know?" The three of them looked at Albert with a hint of astonishment in their voices.
"I met him in the library last time, and Gabriel told me. He even invited me to come and watch the duel," Albert explained.
"And you didn't tell us?" George complained dissatisfiedly.
"But there were still a few days left!" When Albert and the others returned to the dining hall, everyone was discussing this matter, especially Gabriel's final actions.
As for whether the two of them privately resolved their problems through a duel and whether they would face severe punishment, no one paid attention to that.
After all, as long as it wasn't themselves being punished, they didn't care.
On Friday night, Albert ran into Gabriel Truman in the library. Perhaps this guy was deliberately waiting for him here.
"Norbert got a week of detention from Professor Flitwick," Gabriel happily announced the good news to Albert. "I was supposed to get a week of detention as well. However, Professor Sprout just gave me a warning and a box of coconut ice cream."
Saying that, Gabriel took out two packaged coconut ice cream from his robe pocket and placed them in front of Albert, clearly intending to share this treat from Professor Sprout with him.
Gabriel seemed excited when talking about this, so... he ended up being chased out of the library by Madam Pince with a chicken feather duster.
Watching Gabriel's fleeing figure, Albert suddenly felt like laughing.
Under Madam Pince's gaze, he immediately stuffed the two pieces of coconut ice cream into his pocket, pretended that nothing had happened, and planned to continue doing his homework.
However, it seemed that Madam Pince had no intention of letting Albert off the hook.
Finally, under the gaze of the librarian, Albert could only pack up his things and leave the library. At least he wasn't chased out with a chicken feather duster.
"Seriously." Albert stood in the corridor outside the library, took out the coconut ice cream from his pocket, unwrapped the packaging, took a small bite. It was cold with a strong coconut flavor, somewhat similar to the ice mice sold by Honeydukes, just not as icy, and... it tasted good.
"It was your idea for him, wasn't it?" Suddenly, a voice came from beside him. Albert turned his head and saw a redhead girl standing next to him.
"Good evening, Isabelle." Albert greeted the redhead girl because they were both members of the same club, so they were somewhat familiar.
"Gabriel Truman claims he was just discussing theories with Norbert," Isabelle raised an eyebrow, "but it seems like it was your idea."
"Here, the taste of this thing is good."
"Are you trying to bribe me?" Isabelle looked at the coconut ice cream being offered to her, her expression becoming quite strange.
"If you insist." Albert didn't want to discuss this topic much and just smiled and said, "I just told Gabriel never to try to wake a sleeping person unless he uses his fists."
After saying that, Albert turned and left.
"Unless he uses his fists?" Isabelle stared at the coconut ice cream in front of her, slowly unwrapped the packaging, put the coconut ice cream into her mouth. After finishing the treat, she lifted her foot and walked toward the library.
