The pain was still there, but i shakily, unstably, forced my legs to make my body rise up. Gritting my teeth, i was. "Good. That's what happens when a person uses the Cruciatus curse on someone with remarkable willpower. Now, Adam, fight back."
"Stupefy!" Combining the words with my hands making a waving gesture with my wand, a red light made contact with Connor's chest, propelling the boy of steel straight into a wall. At the same time, the pain disappeared.
"Impressive. Now it's time for class to dismiss." Professor Moody went out of my sight by the doorway. "Damnit Connor." "I'm sorry. I didn't know that the curse had such power." "Huh, Is that what a champion is truly made of? Just being hit by a curse and collapsing? Really?" "SHUT UP, RONALD BILIUS WEASLEY!" The person who just snapped was none other than Adam Tediore McGinnis, in other words, me.
"Or what, champion, are you gonna retaliate?" Ron, in a unexpected moment, rose up and launched a Cobra punch at me. Still recovering from the pain that just happened, he incapacitated me. Temporarily. In a quick movement, I rose up and jabbed him in the stomach. Swinging a hook towards me was no use, as i simply blocked with my other hand and knocked him in the face with my free hand. In a lightning fast movement, i got behind him and kicked him with both of my legs in the back, making him crash into the board. Dashing over, my hands made contact with by the collar of his shirt and he fell, slammed into the table by my hands.
"Damnit, stop you 2, STOP!" Hermione, as if she just had witnessed 2 spoiled kids fighting over a simple toy, snapped. "Stop fighting, or i will have to knock you 2 out and report you 2 to professor McGonagall!" "You're lucky, Champ!" Ron, visibly fuming, flung his fist at me. My hand anticipated the move, and my palm extended to catch his wrist. With a swift movement, i used judo to flip him over. "Now stop down, brave man, and just chill. I don't know what's gotten in you these days, just calm down and everything will be fine."
