George: "Hey you debt collectors, open the door now, or I'll have the house-elves serve you Slytherin breakfast ten minutes late tonight."
Fred: "Less than a minute after Ye Feng said that, the door to the Slytherin common room opened, and Malfoy came out very quickly."
Fred (playing Malfoy) (`ヘ?): "So you're a Gryffindor Mudblood, huh? What are you doing in Slytherin this morning instead of spending time with your Mudblood friends?"
George (as Ye Feng):  ̄へ ̄ "Oh, our noble thoroughbred Malfoy has finally decided to get out of bed?" As he said this, George imitated Ye Feng's sarcastic and mocking manner, deliberately drawing out his words and directly using the word "horse" to spell out the name Malfoy.
"Pfft~"
Dumbledore, watching from the side, tried to maintain a serious demeanor, though his lips twitched slightly, he managed to hold it in. But Grindelwald, following behind him, had no such reservations, and couldn't help but burst out laughing, which caused Snape's lips to twitch uncontrollably as well.
However, Grindelwald's laughter did not interrupt the Weasley twins. They merely glanced curiously at the man who had been following Headmaster Dumbledore and then continued.
Fred: (╬◣д◢) "Hmph! Is this all the lowly Mudblood has to offer?"
"Speak up, what brings you here so early in the morning? If it's nothing important, we're going to have morning tea."
"Oh, do you know what morning tea is? It's an activity that originated among the nobility, something you mud people wouldn't understand."
George: "Oh? Drinking some morning tea makes you an aristocrat? Aristocracy is really worthless. No wonder he owes money and won't pay it back?"
Fred: "What do you mean? When did I ever owe money and not pay it back? No, when has the Malfoy family ever owed anyone money?" Fred paused for a moment, then pretended to realize something and continued, "Oh, I see. You're trying to extort money from me because you think my family is rich? You've got the wrong idea."
"Of course, if you're really short of money, I can give you some Galleons. Of course, if you're willing to be my servant, serving me tea, water, and doing my laundry, I can give you ten Galleons a month."
George: "Idiot"
Dumbledore: [?_??]
George's use of broken Chinese to utter a vulgar curse left Dumbledore completely bewildered, and the others were equally confused. Although they guessed it wasn't a good word, those of them who hadn't studied Chinese didn't know what it meant.
Chapter 123: A vivid and engaging interpretation
Chinese is a fascinating language, but it is also one of the most difficult languages in the world to learn. Ye Feng is very fortunate that his mother tongue is Chinese, which he was born with, otherwise he would have to study it to death.
Dumbledore had once considered learning Chinese, but after Ye Feng showed him how many ways there were to express picking up something, Dumbledore completely dismissed the idea.
Who knows why there are so many words to describe simply picking up something? And this is just about picking up one thing; what about other things? Are they the same?
Dumbledore had already given up on the idea of learning Chinese, so how many students at Hogwarts could understand it? Therefore, they had no idea what the word meant. So Ye Feng explained the meaning of the word to them in a very gentlemanly manner.
"The meaning of this word is very simple: it describes someone as stupid. Of course, it also carries strong personal feelings; in short, it carries a strong sense of contempt."
"Oh, I got it. George, you guys continue."
Ye Feng's explanation made everyone else understand instantly. As for Malfoy, he blushed with anger when he thought of Ye Feng's look at him back then.
With Dumbledore's permission, the Weasley twins enthusiastically resumed their performance.
George (as Ye Feng): "Idiot!"
"Pfft~"
Grindelwald, standing behind Dumbledore, burst out laughing again, because this time George was shouting at Malfoy, which made Malfoy's face, which was already red with anger, turn black.
Fred (as Malfoy): "Hmph~ A Mudblood is a Mudblood, doesn't even know how to swear?"
George: →_→
Fred: "What? You're not convinced? You don't want to hit me, do you? Come on, hit me here."
George: Σ(?д?lll) (???)
"Snapped!"
Fred: (:3_ヽ)_ "Ah! You...you actually dared to hit me? I'm going to tell Professor Snape and have him deduct a hundred points from your Gryffindor grade and expel you!"
"Pfft~ Hahahaha..."
Seeing the Weasley twins' vivid performance, Grindelwald couldn't help but burst into laughter this time. Dumbledore glanced back at him, telling him to tone it down a bit, after all, he was his teacher.
Leaving aside the matter of Dumbledore and Grindelwald exchanging glances, Ye Feng was also dumbfounded, because George's slap was real, although the force was slightly less than his own. However, the two of them were indeed well-coordinated. As soon as George hit Fred, he fell to the ground as if he had really been knocked down.
"What talented people! It would be a shame if the Oscars didn't give you both an Oscar."
Of course, neither Grindelwald's loud laughter nor Ye Feng's dumbfounded expression interrupted the 'dedicated' Weasley twins, who continued their performance.
George (pulling out a piece of paper and unfolding it for Fred to see): "See this? This is an IOU written by your father himself. So, Mr. Malfoy, when do you plan to pay back this ten thousand Galleons?"
Fred (stood up abruptly): "Why don't you just rob me! Besides, the IOU clearly states that my father only owes me nine thousand Galleons, why are you demanding ten thousand Galleons from me?"
George: "They really are father and son."
"Your father asked me about this too, and I already answered him then. Now, I'll mercifully answer you again. There's no faster way to make money than robbing, and it's safe, legal, and compliant."
"As for why it became 10,000 Galleons, that's obviously the interest. Have you ever seen someone lend money to a stranger without interest?"
"Alright, the question is answered. Now tell me your answer: are you, Draco Malfoy, going to pay back the money or not? Or do you want to be a deadbeat like your father and not pay back the money? Of course, if you don't have that much money right now, you can write to your father to remind him."
"It's only ten thousand Galleons, surely the Malfoy family can't afford to pay that back?"
Fred: "You!" (╬◣д◢)
"Hmph! Trying to provoke me? It won't work. Even if I did have 10,000 Galleons, I wouldn't pay you back. If you're so capable, go to my house and ask my father for your money back! Oh, by the way, if I'm not mistaken, your IOU doesn't specify a repayment date, does it? And it doesn't specify the interest rate either."
"In other words, we can simply drag our feet and not pay it back. As for interest, unless it's explicitly stated that there's no interest, the Ministry of Magic's default rule is that there's no interest. Of course, while we won't pay interest, we will still pay back the money, but the date of that repayment will depend on our mood."
“If I’m in a good mood, I might write to my father tomorrow and ask him to give you the money. But if I’m in a bad mood, I might forget about it in a little while. Then it’ll be a different story how long you have to wait. Maybe a year, maybe two years, or even a hundred years.”
As he said this, Fred's face was full of smug satisfaction. His expression and demeanor were so lifelike that, apart from their appearances, they were practically identical to Malfoy.
Fred: "How about it? Want to beg me? If you beg me, maybe I'll be in a good mood and write a letter to my father for you."
"Oh, by the way, I have ten Galleons here. These ten Galleons should be enough for you Mudbloods for several months, right?"
As he said this, Fred reached into his pocket, but although his family was now a little richer and less strapped for cash than before, they were used to being frugal, so they still couldn't pull out ten Galleons.
Seeing this, Ye Feng, who had been watching with great amusement, generously pulled out a handful of Galleons and placed them in Fred's hand. This made Fred and George's eyes light up instantly. If Ye Feng hadn't stopped them, the two of them would have kowtowed to Ye Feng in gratitude.
Seeing this, Dumbledore and Snape felt that was enough. As for what happened next, just look at Malfoy's expression to know.
Although Ye Feng wasn't the type to bully his classmates, he certainly couldn't stand being insulted like that. But the opposite was true; it wasn't Ye Feng who took the initiative, but Malfoy, because after Malfoy finished speaking, Ye Feng casually replied to him.
"The petrification potion you drank earlier was specially made."
Malfoy: [?_??]
"I added a little bit of ingredients when I was brewing it, a Chinese herbal medicine called Night-Shining Sand (when taking Chinese medicine, don't search randomly, just boil it and drink it, this is for your own good (ノ ̄▽ ̄))."
Those who don't understand might not think much of it, but Malfoy has studied potions, so he knows exactly what this is. This made him gag, and then he pulled out his wand.
In the magical world, when you pull out a wand at someone, it basically means you're about to attack. So when Ye Feng saw Malfoy pull out his wand, he immediately used Excalibur on him without saying a word, and then followed up with a thud, causing Malfoy, who had been sent flying, to fall flat on his face on the ground.
After learning the whole story, not only Snape but even Dumbledore was speechless. In the end, they only warned Ye Feng and let the matter drop. As for repaying the money, that was a personal matter, and Hogwarts wouldn't handle it. However, given Ye Feng's personality, even Snape could only tell Malfoy to pray for the best.
Chapter 124 Eating, Sleeping, and Beating Malfoy
Ye Feng is not a petty person; on the contrary, he is quite generous. He is often happy to share his things with those around him, such as the watermelons he grows, the talismans he makes, and the various delicacies he cooks.
However, he can also be stingy at times. For example, he was rather stingy when it came to the Galleons that the Malfoy family owed him, even though ten thousand Galleons were nothing to him now and he could take them out anytime.
Thus, a strange phenomenon occurred at Hogwarts.
Almost every day during the lunch break, no one would rush to leave after eating but would stay in the restaurant, because the show was about to begin, and the protagonists of this show were undoubtedly Ye Feng and Malfoy.
Generally speaking, Hogwarts does not allow students to use magic in private, let alone engage in magical duels, because it is actually a very dangerous thing to do without a teacher present. If someone gets carried away, it could result in injury or death.
However, neither Malfoy nor Ye Feng were ordinary students.
Needless to say, Ye Feng felt just like going to Dumbledore's headmaster's office.
Moreover, Ye Feng has caused countless troubles, but he has never been truly punished. In addition, he has created many things that are beneficial to students and greatly improved their meals. Therefore, even though the male students envy his popularity with women, they can't bring themselves to hate him, resulting in Ye Feng's popularity being ridiculously high.
Therefore, even if Ye Feng really did something wrong, the students at Hogwarts would generally turn a blind eye, and even the teachers sometimes did the same.
As for Malfoy, although he is a character who is 'bullied' both in the show and now, he still has a considerable 'status' in the whole of Hogwarts. Therefore, when they request to duel after meals, almost no teacher will refuse, not even Snape and Dumbledore.
The reason they didn't refuse is actually quite simple.
According to Dumbledore and the others, Ye Feng's magical level was high enough that he could graduate without any problems. Therefore, he would not make mistakes or use excessive force in general duels. As for Malfoy...
It's not that they look down on Malfoy; Malfoy's magical talent is actually quite good. He studies diligently and has mastered quite a few spells. In comparison, he is among the top students in the entire third year, and some of the weaker fourth-year students might not even be able to beat him.
But unfortunately, the opponents he chose were just too abnormal. Oh, or rather, it can't be said that he chose them, because actually, Ye Feng initiated every fight, and the method was very simple, just one sentence.
"As the sole heir of the Malfoy family, do you not even have the courage to fight a 'Mudblood' like me?"
Once those words are uttered, even if the Malfoys have suffered losses before, they will have to grit their teeth and go for it. If they don't agree to Ye Feng's request, it will prove that he is truly cowardly and that the Malfoy family lacks the courage to accept challenges. Once this is confirmed, the Malfoy family's reputation and status among pure-blood families will plummet.
Of course, there's an even more important point: if he dares to refuse, his father will probably come and take him home the next day to let him experience what 'fatherly love' and family rules are all about.
then…
"Except your weapons!"
"Armor protection!"
"Oh ho? You actually know how to use a shield today instead of trying to fight me head-on? That's an improvement, but unfortunately, you're still a bit lacking."
"Collapse!"
"The flames are blazing!"
"Lavisa!"
"The sound landed!"
"Collapse!"
"Boom~"
"Tsk~ Still using armor to protect yourself? Don't you even see where I am? The enemy is right in front of you and you still don't know how to dodge, so weak." Ye Feng, who had knocked Malfoy unconscious with a punch, shook his head as he looked at Malfoy lying sprawled on the ground with his eyes rolled back.
The students watching from the sidelines, including the older students, couldn't help but roll their eyes when they heard Ye Feng's words.
"Do you think everyone is as freakish as you? You're only a second-year student and you can use multiple different spells continuously. It's already quite impressive that Malfoy was able to react in time and use his armor to block the first two. I might not even be able to do that."
Zhang Qiu, who had been standing at the front guarding Ye Feng out of concern, spoke the minds of everyone else, including Malfoy, who had fallen unconscious on the ground. This was because Ye Feng's speed in casting spells was simply too fast, and at his most outrageous moments, he could use combination techniques without hesitation.
Through Ye Feng's use of magic over the past two days, they also discovered that Ye Feng's use of magic was not like theirs, where he would just think of whatever was suitable and quickest to use. According to the experience of traditional wizards, many of the spells he used were simply random, but afterward, you would find that there was actually a pattern to them.
For example, this duel with Malfoy.
The first two are the choices that traditional wizards would choose, but the third one, Laviasa, is generally something that wizards would never use. This is because even if you levitate your opponent, as long as they don't panic, they can still use magic to counterattack. Therefore, they usually press their advantage and continue to use offensive magic.
