Chapter 263: Let the gloves fly a little longer

Now that she has been seen, it is not easy for Fleur to hide anymore.

Without her coming, the boys and girls dressed in their own wizards' robes gathered around and began to speak in French, which Maca barely understood.

But Maca didn't have to understand at all, he could understand when he looked at the boys that he was obviously not very popular here.

Seeing that there were too many hostile gazes, he simply greeted Luna, and led her to the wall of the hall covered with oil paintings.

But he wanted to leave, but they didn't let him go.

Maca caught a glimpse of a white shadow flying towards him, and he reflexively pulled his wand out of his sleeve and stopped it in mid-air with a barrier spell.

"Huh?"

He turned around and looked at it, and it was actually a white glove!

"Duel?" Maca said in astonishment, "...... Too vulgar, right? What age is this? ”

This time he was really wrong to blame others.

Today, although duels are almost extinct in the Muggle world, they are still quite popular in the wizarding world throughout Europe. Among them, especially in the French magical world.

From family disputes to goats being stolen, if there is a dispute, there will probably be a duel, and if there is no dispute, maybe someone will create a dispute and a duel.

Whenever a French wizard goes out, he may forget to hold an umbrella on a rainy day, but he never forgets to put a pair of gloves in his pocket. The difference between each duel is probably only whether the person throws out a white glove or a black glove.

This is perhaps the biggest difference between Muggle duels and wizarding duels.

Because the number of wizards has not been large, most people will only throw white gloves when dueling, and in this case, there is generally no death of one party.

Of course, if there is any deep hatred between the two, throwing out the black gloves and fighting to the death is the final result.

But the popularity of duels is actually inseparable from the strict rules. One party throws the glove and smashes it at the other party to invite a duel, but if the duel contract is to be formalized, the invited party has to pick up the glove with his own hands to count.

It's also strange that Maca practiced quickly pulling the staff when she was fine, and the obstacle spell just now was subconsciously issued, and now the white gloves are still floating slowly in mid-air in slow motion! Who knows when it will land?

Maca wasn't embarrassed, but the young man who threw out the gloves was embarrassed right now.

Do you still have to fight a duel with someone? Looking at the reaction speed of others, and then looking at the neat silent curse of others, he almost wanted to run over and take the gloves back, and then leave quietly as if nothing happened!

Maca didn't care about the other party's embarrassment, and when he turned around, he saw a smug smile flashing on Fleur's face, in addition to seeing the white gloves clearly.

Can he still not understand this? He was used a little by that Meiwa half-blood, and he was used as a shield for others!

"Forget the duel! I have no special relationship with Miss Delacour, just friends. ”

Regardless of whether people could understand English or not, he casually picked up his wand, "floated" the white glove back again, and stopped steadily in front of the boy.

Seeing that the other party blushed and grabbed the gloves, he turned around again and simply left the back of his head to Fleur.

"Luna, where else do you want to go?"

Luna glanced curiously at Fleur's side, her clear gaze as if there was no trace of distraction.

"Miss Delacour is glaring at you!" She blinked, but changed the subject again, "Is it true that Sir Cadogan said he had defeated a Wyvern in his lifetime?" ”

"Maybe!" Maca shrugged her shoulders and said, "Who knows? Mr. Sir is always babbling, and he always likes to find someone to duel when he has nothing to do......"

The two of them chatted casually, and walked side by side to the deeper part of the hall, where there was a strange oil painting, and they wanted to look at it together!

That night, Maca and Luna, after informing Mr. Lovegood, took up lodging in the castle at the invitation of Madame Maxim.

After dinner in the evening, Maca returned to her room and sat down at her desk, opened her notebook and began to write and draw again.

During his time in France, he spent his days wandering around with Luna, and at night spent his time poring over the data and information he had obtained from the Bewitching Monument.

When he is sleepy, he sleeps, and when he wakes up, it is a new day, and he has lived a very fulfilling life.

Only the next day, when he woke up in his bed at Beauxbatons Castle and picked up a meal to try Beauxbatons' breakfast in the restaurant, he was blocked in his old place yesterday.

This time, the white gloves flew straight to his head, and he tilted his head slightly, letting the gloves brush his ears and land on the marble floor behind him.

"What's going on? Still? ”

The owner of this glove is not the embarrassed boy from yesterday, he is standing next to the owner of the glove right now! As for the owner of the glove, it was a black-robed young man with a gloomy face and a hint of fierceness in his eyes.

That's right, just by looking at the age of the glove owner, maybe a Beauxbatons senior student.

"Pick up the gloves!" The black-robed young man said dryly in his not very proficient English.

Maca tilted her head just now, avoiding the gloves that flew straight at his head, but instead of straightening her head, she just tilted her head to look at the other party.

"Didn't I say that yesterday? Miss Delacour and I are just friends."

"Excuses!" The other party directly interrupted Maca's words, looked at him fiercely and said, "Pursuing Miss Delacour is one thing every man does!" Unless you're not a man! ”

The black-robed young man paused, and then continued, "Are you afraid of a duel?" Coward! ”

"Tefleur, that guy's strength seems to be very strong......" The boy next to him carefully pulled the wizard robe of the black-robed young man and whispered in French.

"Shut up!" The black-robed young man known to the boy as Tefuler glanced at him coldly, and then changed to English and said loudly, "Accept my duel!" If you're still a man! ”

Maca straightened her head in pain, then pulled out her wand and flicked it behind her back, quickly inserting it back into her sleeve. But he saw that the white gloves on the floor suddenly jumped up, cut an arc in the air, and landed accurately in his hand.

"Get the Witnesses, I'll be waiting for you in the dining room......" He didn't look at him, he raised his legs and walked in the direction of the dining room, but after a few steps he turned back and added, "If I hadn't finished my breakfast and didn't see you with the Witnesses, I wouldn't have wasted any more time waiting for you!" ”

With that, he turned around again and walked away with a leisurely step.

For Maca, this duel is actually like getting up for morning exercise, and lately she has been so idle that she has almost forgotten the habit of running a lap every day, which is not okay!

For a wizard, having a strong physique is necessary, at least for Maca, it's a matter of course.

Behind him, the black-robed young man Taforler was a star, but it was hard to imagine that there would be such a student in Beauxbatons.

……

Beauxbatons' hall is not used as a dining room, and the two halls are separated by a wall, just to the left of the hall. Beauxbatons also has a different form of dining, except for major banquets, they are served buffet on weekdays.

"Beauxbatons is really rich! Not afraid of wasting at all......"

Not long after the start of the summer vacation, there are almost no people in the restaurant. Except for a few professors who stayed at the school, there were few people left, but there were still a lot of delicious foods piled up on the plates at the pick-up place for people to choose from.

Maca took some food slowly, picked a table by the window, and then sat down and savored it.

"Yes, it's a little tastier than the food at Hogwarts...... Well, the puff pastry of this croissant is soft and melts in your mouth......" he ate with a little regret, "It's a pity that the French don't like to eat meat in the morning, and it would be perfect if I could have a few more slices of fried bacon......"

But while he was concentrating on this delicious French breakfast, Fleur pulled Luna and broke into the restaurant, hurriedly looking around.

When she saw Maca, she dragged Luna and ran straight to this side.

"You agreed to Taforler's invitation to a duel? Why? Didn't you turn down a duel with Dubois yesterday? Fleur asked with a puzzled face, but not too anxious.

Having participated in the Triwizard Tournament, she had seen Maca's strength a little, and she was not worried that Maca would lose at all. It's just that Tafuler's family is not simple, and she is afraid that this will cause Maca unnecessary trouble.

After all, the boys yesterday were just from ordinary wizard families, but the identity of this Teffler is different, and he will definitely take over as the head of the Tefler family in the future.

"Oh...... Oh, yes! What's wrong? Maca looked up and looked at her strangely.

Speaking of which, it was the Miss Delacour who had personally brought it to him, and although he didn't care about it, and it was just a joke, but now Fleur's attitude changed all at once.

"That Tefuler's family background is not simple, I'm worried about ......" Fleur hesitated for a moment, then continued, "I'm sorry, it's my fault, you and Luna are my guests...... I'm not supposed to just give you guys trouble. ”

When Maca heard this, she shrugged her shoulders indifferently and said, "Don't worry, France won't be the only one with his family, and I don't come to France often, it's okay." ”

As he spoke, he pointed to the food on his plate and said, "Have you had breakfast?" The food at your school is so delicious that I want to get some more. ”

"Uh......"

Fleur saw that he didn't pay attention to it at all, and that it had already happened again, but she had to let it go.
