The next day, after his Quidditch trials, Harry was on his way to Great Hall, where the tryouts for the duelling competition were going to be held.
He was still feeling the rush and joy of getting selected to play the seeker and chosen to be the captain of the Hogwarts Quidditch team.
This year was already turning out to be the best and most enjoyable one to date, and the year was only just getting started.
And today might be the most excited he has been in a long time.
Because it was time for duelling.
And Harry had been desperate to know how he would fair against the best of Hogwarts.
He was excited for the previous day's Quidditch trial as well, but the rush he was feeling right now was bigger than before.
Having his wand in his hand and facing others in a fight had always fuelled Harry's nerves with adrenaline and the deep-seated hunger to crush his opponent.
And today, there were going to be many who would get crushed by him, no matter how much older his opponent would be. Harry would make sure to make it clear that one of the spots on the duelling team was his.
And he would leave no doubt that no one could beat him.
Walking in the great hall through the big doorway, Harry stopped and looked around the completely different-looking hall.
The tables of the four houses were nowhere to be seen; instead, there was a big stage covering the most of the space, and on that stage were many circles of equal sizes, probably for the duels.
On the side of the stage connected to the walls were two stands where the non-participating students were already sitting and ready to cheer for their friends.
But the size of the crowd of students who were participating in the try-outs was much bigger, and Harry was not surprised at all.
If there was something that filled a witch or wizard with pride, it would be beating others in a magical fight and showing how powerful you are.
Although Harry was concerned for the professors who were assigned to take these try-outs, how were they going to select seven fighters among the hundred that had come to take part?
Seeing Padma and Hermione from the corner of his eyes, sitting in the stands, Harry made his way to them.
"Hey, Padma Hermione," Harry greeted them with a smile.
"Hey Harry," both smiled back at him.
"Are you two sure you don't want to take part?" Harry said, nodding towards the big crowd on stage.
"No, Harry," Hermione shook her head. "We know what we two are best at, and duelling isn't one of them." She said humbly, and Padma nodded with her.
Harry didn't argue back and accepted their answer; after all, he knew that even though they were both very handy with a wand, they wouldn't get into the team.
And either way, those two were already on the final team of the quiz competition.
"So then, are you two going to spend your whole day here?" he asked them.
Padma nodded. "Yep, we are going to be here the whole day supporting our friends."
"And who are those friends?" Harry asked, feigning ignorance.
Padma smirked "Daphne and Susan, of course," she replied innocently.
Harry's eyes widened, and he put his hand on his chest. "Padma, I thought I was your friend," he said in mock pain.
Padma and Hermione giggled at his acting, and Harry smiled and chuckled with them, dropping his act.
"Are you ready for today, Harry?" Hermione asked once they calmed down.
Harry nodded and winked at her. "You know I am Mione."
"Don't be so arrogant." Hermione scolded him half-heartedly, "There could be someone better than you who might beat you."
Harry heard the whistle alerting that the try-outs were about to start, and he turned to join the crowd, but before then, he looked over his shoulder at her and smirked, "Do you really believe that?"
Hermione snorted and shook her head.
'Of course she didn't'
Harry looked in the crowd for someone, and when he found them, he smiled and weaved his way in the crowd to his target.
"Hey girls," he said, wrapping his arms around the shoulders of his friends from Hufflepuff and Slytherin.
"Hey Harry," Susan impishly smiled at him and took the chance of being so close to him by grabbing his dangling hand on her and squeezing it between her huge tits.
Not wanting to be outdone by her, Daphne stepped closer to him and rubbed her lush body on his "Hello Harry." She practically purred, batting her eyelashes at him.
Harry wanted to curse and bless his current situation.
He had two very hot girls in his arms fighting for his affection, making him feel blessed and happy with his luck.
But at the same time, both of those minxes were doing these things in a crowded room, and Harry had to use his occlumency skills to keep his dick down and not embarrass himself.
"Ready for your try-outs!" He said in a straining voice as he tried his best not to let his eyes and hands wander the voluptuous bodies of the two girls under his arm.
"Absolutely," Daphne replied confidently, while Susan nodded eagerly.
"I know you are praying that you get an opponent that you don't like, so that you can beat their asses for your own satisfaction," Harry smirked down at Daphne.
"Harry, what makes you think that?" Daphne replied back innocently.
Harry snorted, and Susan giggled at the poor attempt at showing innocence by their Slytherin friend.
They both knew Daphne had already made a list where she had written down the names of individuals she wanted to take her vengeance against.
A sharp whistle broke their friendly banter, and they looked ahead to see Professor Flitwick commanding everyone's attention.
Harry pulled his arms off the girls and stood straight as both Daphne and Susan did, their faces seething and their posture ready for their trials.
"Welcome everyone to the try-outs of this year's Tri Wizard duelling competition," Flitwick began in his squeaky voice.
"Now, as you already know, in this competition, all three schools will have a seven-member team, so to choose those seven fighters, we have separated all of you students into seven different brackets."
With the wave of his wand, a big board appeared, and on the board were all the names of the participating students. Then, with another wave of his wand, the names were separated and divided into seven different brackets, as Flitwick said.
"I know what you are thinking—why did I do that?" Flitwick continued, "I did this to simplify the selection process because of the high number of participants."
"If you see there are seven different brackets now, what will happen is that all the students under each bracket will compete against each other in a knockout format until only one remains, and the seven winning students of each basket will be the seven fighters who will represent our school."
Harry raised his eyebrow, feeling impressed by how simple the process of selection professors have made among so many students.
"Now the order of your fights is like this." Professor Flitwick stabbed his wand at the board, and a tournament-style knockout tree was formed under each bracket with the names of everyone.
"Well, it seems all of us have a chance to get selected," Harry whispered to Daphne and Susan.
"Hmm." Daphne nodded, then frowned. "But only one of us, between me and Susan, will go through since we are in the same bracket."
Susan nodded, chewing her lips as she thought about fighting her own friend.
Harry stayed silent as he looked at the board and confirmed what Daphne was saying.
They were both in the same bracket, and interestingly, they will only face each other if they both get into the final.
What were the chances that both friends would have to fight each other for the honour of representing their school?
Harry didn't know, and he couldn't tell if he wanted to see them fight or not.
"Well, whatever is going to happen will happen, so do your best and forget about that right now," Harry told them with a smile.
His words had an effect, as he got two warm smiles back.
"Attention students!" Flitwick yelled. "The try-outs are going to start, so I need you to go to the section where your brackets are assigned."
At once, the crowd began parting as each student went to their bracket section.
"Best of luck," Harry wished the girls and gave them a hug.
"To you too, Harry." Both of them wished him back, and then they separated.
Harry looked around for his bracket, which was number 4, found it at the right corner of the room, and made his way there.
Once there, he stood with others and waited for his first duel turn.
Their group invigilator was Professor Vector, who started their trials.
Harry stood back and observed other fights before noticing his would-be opponents.
His eyes drifted to the knockout tree, and he counted the many opponents he had to fight on his way to the final.
And since each bracket had 16 students, that means there were three fights before you could reach the finals.
Which means there were four opponents on Harry's way to the spot in the team.
His name being called out pulled him out of his wandering, and Harry looked up to see Professor Vector staring at him.
"Mr. Potter, it's your turn," she told him firmly.
Harry nodded and then climbed the stage and entered the circle where his fight was going to take place.
He then looked at the other side and found his first opponents.
Terry Boot, his Ravenclaw yearmate.
"Now, contestants, you will first bow to each other."
Harry stepped forward at the same time Terry did, and both bowed at each other and then stepped back.
"You will begin your duel when I tell you to. Is that clear?" Professor Vector told them strictly.
Harry nodded just as Terry did, and both took their fight stances.
Harry took his own unique, unorthodox stance where he stood completely sideways, his head facing forward and his wand down, and his posture was loose and relaxed.
In this stance, he reduces the area for his opponent to aim at him, and his loose body was ready to attack or dodge as needed.
And because of his wand down towards the ground, he used it to confuse his enemy about whether he would attack or defend.
Personality Harry always preferred to defend first and let the opponent shoot because he preferred to study his opponent's gameplay and then attack.
Sirius had dubbed his stance 'lazy lion' to show how he always looked lazy to his opponent but was always ready to treat them apart.
Harry then noticed Terry's stance, and he held his snort back. Like a true Ravenclaw, Terry was in what was called a traditional stance.
His right leg was forward, his body was leaning, and his posture was completely stiff.
It was a sign that he was going to attack first, and Harry was happy with that.
"On 3," Professor Vector said, "1.. 2...3!"
"STUPEFY"
Just as she finished, as Harry had expected, Terry attacked first and fired his first spell.
"STUPEFY"
Harry tried not to cringe at the loudly spoken spell by his opponent, and instead of shielding himself, he simply sidestepped the poorly aimed attack.
Not to be dithered by it, Terry admirably continued throwing spells.
"EXPELLIARMUS"
"INCARCEOUS"
"REDUCTO"
Unfortunately for Terry, each of his spells was calmly sidestepped by Harry, who was jumping around the stage like a rabbit with his wand still facing the ground.
After the 8th continued missed, Terry was getting tired and frustrated, which was resulting in making his aim so much worse that Harry didn't even need to dodge.
Just as another stunning spell sailed past him without even touching him, Harry decided to end this fight.
For the first time in the fight, he put his wand up and, almost silently whispering, fired a three-spell chain.
"Expelliarmus" "Stupefy" "Incarcerous"
Terry, who was too tired to even move, didn't even have any chance before he was hit by the three spells one after another.
His wand jumped from his hand. The stunning spell stunned him and skidded him back on the stage, and the last spell bound him in ropes.
And just like that, Harry ended the fight with only three spells.
Nodding towards the shocked Professor Vector, he made his way down the stage to wait for his next fight.
There was only one thing going on in the minds of other students in his group.
'I hope I don't get him next.
Leaning back on the wall, Harry looked around at the other fights, and he saw Daphne just like him, waiting for her next fight as she had already defeated her first opponent.
Noticing him looking, she threw a wink at him, and Harry winked back at her.
He then saw Susan finish her opponent by using a freezing spell on their feet and making them stick to the ground.
Harry smiled proudly. This was one of the tricks he had taught her, and he was impressed by how smoothly she had used it.
After a while, his name was called again, and it was quarterfinal time.
He walked to the duelling circle and then saw who his opponent was, and his lips curled into a smile as he saw Cho Chang as his opponent.
"Good luck," Harry muttered while bowing.
"Thanks; I would need it against you." Cho replied back.
Harry shook his head, smiling, and then once in his stance, his smile disappeared, and no emotion was left on his face.
"Began!" Professor Vector barked, and the fight began.
But this time, unlike Terry, Cho decided not to attack and waited for Harry to make his move first.
Harry smirked and internally praised Cho for learning from his previous fight.
Unfortunately for her, it was of no use.
Just because Harry tactically doesn't attack first doesn't mean that he doesn't know how to put pressure on his opponent.
In a blink of an eye, his wand was up, and Harry cast a series of different spells at Cho.
Cho, acting quickly, threw a shield, but it only held for a while, and after the third spell, it broke, and she had to dodge the next spell rolling to her left, and once she was up, she erupted another shield.
Seeing her exactly where he wanted, Harry threw three more spells, and then instead of at her, he fired a smoke screen spell 'Fumus' at the ground in front of her.
Cho's eyes widened as the spell struck the ground, and a cloud of smoke erupted in front of her, blocking her vision.
Harry, using the cloud to his advantage, slid down to his right, and from that angle, he threw his earlier three-chain spell at her.
Cho, who was competitively unaware that there were three spells coming at her from the sides, didn't react in time and was hit with them, and she was left in the same defeated state as Terry was.
Disappearing the smoke with his wand, Harry walked to the unconscious Cho, and after unbinding her, he 'renevated' her.
Cho blinked her eyes open and then groaned, seeing him standing over her. "I lost." She then took his outstretched hand, and Harry pulled her up.
Giving her wand back, Harry said, "You tried your best."
Cho snorted, "Harry, my best was nowhere near enough to even make you worry; you are pretty good." She praised him, smiling up at him.
"Don't be so down on yourself." Harry replied, encouraging her, "If it was someone else you had to face, you might have defeated them."
"It doesn't change the fact that I still lost Harry." Cho huffed
Harry chuckled, and then both of them went down the stage. Cho then went to the stands to watch the remaining fight.
Once again, back at his spot against the wall, Harry looked around the other fights and found an interesting sight.
Daphne was fighting against Draco Malfoy, of all people.
Harry smirked as he looked at the fierce face of Daphne, who, despite being known for not showing emotion, had a very evident hatred on her face as she glared daggers at her opponent.
Anyone looking into her eyes could clearly see how much Daphne had been waiting for this moment, and Harry felt excited to see what she would do to the ferret, who was ignoring Daphne like she was of no concern to him.
Once the fight started, Daphne was on the front foot, attacking, and what followed might be the most humiliating few minutes for Malfoy.
Daphne, in simple words, played with the blonde punce, not even giving a moment of breath as she kept showering spells at him relentlessly but at the same time calculatingly.
At the start, Malfoy was able to shield himself, but soon Daphne's spells became overwhelming and shattered his shield, leaving him defenceless.
Seeing her opportunity, Daphne threw a series of spells, ending the duel and beating him, but not without some spiteful vengeance on her part.
After the spells were hit, Malfoy was left upside down, bound with the ropes, his wand far away from him, and his dangling head shiny bald without a single hair left.
The crowd burst out laughing at his funny and humiliating state.
Harry as well snickered behind his hand and threw a wink and smile at Daphne when she caught his eye.
Daphne smirked back at him flirtingly and strode down past the hanging and screaming ferret with her head held high.
Her cunning and desire for vengeance against people who hurt her or her loved ones had always made her more attractive in Harry's eyes.
Then it was time for Harry's semifinal fight, and this time it was against a big 7th-year Hufflepuff.
The fight went as the last two did.
Even though his opponent this time was more experienced and powerful than the last two, he was still easy for Harry to beat.
The big 7th year believed in all-out attacking and no defending.
His spell repertoire was respectable, and his spells packed power, but Harry had no difficulty shielding and dodging his spells.
For a straight couple of minutes, Harry kept dodging and moving around the stage in a circle, forcing his opponent to do the same in his parallel.
And even though the Hufflepuff impressively kept attacking, he forgot about where he was and fell into Harry's trap.
By dodging and slowly moving in a circle, Harry had made his opponents not notice that he was moving in a circle with him, and in no time, the 7th year was in the same spot as Harry at the start of the fight.
And what he wasn't aware of was that Harry had changed that spot into a swamp at the start of the fight by using a silent transfiguration spell.
And before the big guy knew what was happening, he was half feet deep inside the ground and was still going.
Confused by the lack of movement in his feet and the muddy feeling, the Hufflepuff looked down and was shocked to find himself in a swamp.
His small moment of shock was all Harry needed, as again, with a spell chain, he left his opponent defeated.
"Ingenious," Professor Vector muttered, left impressed by Harry's plan.
"Thank you," Harry said to her.
Vector, who was not expecting him to hear her, was startled and shook her head. "Fights by fights, you keep impressing me, Mr. Potter," she complimented him, giving him a smile.
Harry smiled back and bowed at her, grateful for her compliment.
After that, he was ready to go down the stage but was stopped by Professor Vector.
"Mr. Potter," she called, and Harry turned back to her. "Your final opponent is here; you don't need to go off the stage."
Harry stopped and turned back to see the sole remaining contestants who were making their way up the stage for the final.
Shrugging his shoulder, Harry climbed back, and then, after the stage was cleared off of any spell damage by Professor Vector, he and his final opponent were facing each other and sizing each other up.
Harry was slightly surprised to see his opponent because he recognised her.
She was the 7th-year Slytherin and this year's Head Girl, Audrey Rosier.
Meeting in the middle, both of them bowed.
"Just because you defeated your weak opponents, Potter, don't think you are unbeatable." Audrey whispered quietly. Staring at him mid-bow with her dark, calculated eyes.
"We will see about that," Harry whispered back, smirking.
They both stepped back and took their stances.
Looking at her interesting professional stance, the challenge in her eyes, and the smirk on her face, Harry knew this was the fight he had been waiting for all day.
He felt a sense of excitement spread through his body, feeling the hard fight he was going to have.
"Begin!"
Professor Vector began the fight, but both opponents stayed where they were, both of them waiting for the other to make the move first.
Harry mocked his eyebrow at her in challenge and received the same reply.
This was going to be interesting.
Deciding to act first, Harry faked a move to his left and instead stepped to the right and threw a quick spell at her.
But Audrey was ready; she blocked the spell with her shield, and as if that was what she was waiting for, she quickly sprang into attack.
Dispelling the shield, she whipped her wand, and with an 'ignis avis' she conjured a flock of fire birds and sent them at him.
Harry smiled. For the first time today, his opponent was using a transfiguration spell.
Unfortunately for Audrey, transfiguration was Harry's second favourite subject.
Swinging his wand like a sword, Harry destroyed the conjured aflame birds into a small piece, but his victory was short-lived.
Audrey was ready for him, and she threw a big ball of water at him that was almost as big as Harry.
Harry stepped back, and thrusting his hands forward, he stopped the water ball in the air, shocking Audrey.
And then, with the stab of his wand, he blasted the ball, and then, twirling his wand in a circle, he turned the many water droplets into sharp ice shards.
Whipping his wand, Harry banished the ice shards at Audrey.
Audrey, seeing the projectiles coming, knew she wouldn't be able to shield herself without getting hit once.
So she jumped aside, rolling on the ground, and she kept rolling, dodging the dangerous shards that got stuck in the ground.
Rolling around, dodging the last of the shreds, she looked up and was shocked to see a horde of conjured animals coming towards her.
With a series of blasting spells, she destroyed the conjured figure, but Harry kept them coming.
Feeling frustrated and tired by all the work she had to put in already just to defend herself, Audrey decided to use a stronger spell.
She spun around in a circle with her wand pointing forward and created a sharp wind blizzard that crushed all of Harry's conjured animals.
Coming out of her spin, Audrey decided to bring the fight to Harry and decided it was her turn to surprise him.
She kneeled down on the ground, and after stabbing her wand, she yelled 'Tonitruum!' and a barrage of thunder spread through the ground from her wand travelling towards Harry.
Harry's eyes widened a little bit seeing the impressive, powerful spell work by Audrey; he had thought she would be too tired after defending against his conjuration.
But it's seemed she really was worthy of her position as head girl.
Stepping away a few steps from the coming thunder towards him, Harry also kneeled down, stabbed his wand, and whispered, 'desertum harenae'
With his command, the ground beneath him turned into dessert sand, completely nullifying the thunder as it got absorbed into the sand.
Audrey, who was expecting to finally hurt her opponent, was instead left stunned, seeing the quick thinking and spell knowledge of Harry.
Harry smirked, seeing his opponent's shocked stare, and silently chuckled as Audrey hadn't realised how she had unintentionally given him a way to defeat her.
Pointing his wand behind her, Harry threw a gust of hot wind and melted all the ice shards impaled on the ground.
Before Audrey could look behind her and see what he had done, she felt water under her feet, and a second later, she realised her mistake as her own spell backfired against her.
"AHHH"
A scream of pain left her mouth as her spell connected with the melted water and shocked her.
But still showing a mental power that impressed Harry, she jumped out of the water and breathed a sigh of relief when her body stopped electrifying.
Unfortunately, as she was taking a breather after the shock, she was not able to even see, let alone dodge Harry's final attack.
A crisscrossing vein of plant erupted from the ground and tied her from toe to head, binding her so tightly that she couldn't even use the wand in her hand.
The only thing she could move were her eyes, and when she did, she saw Harry calmly walking towards her and plucking her wand from her hand, ending the duel.
Harry sliced his wand down, and the veins dropped Audrey and went back into the ground.
Audrey rubbed her wrists and mumbled, "Merlin Potter, you are really good. Do you know that?"
"I do." Harry shrugged. "But I must say, your transfiguration skills are amazing."
"Thank you." Audrey blushed and then sighed. "But it still wasn't enough to beat you."
"Don't be so harsh on yourself." Harry said, comforting her, "If you were in any other bracket, you would have won."
"I know, but I'm happy I was in yours; at least I could say I lost only to the best of Hogwarts." Audrey grinned at him.
It was Harry's time to blush. As he rubbed his neck, his eyes travelled down to her chest, and he noticed her shirt being ripped, showing a sweaty cleavage. "Um, you should fix that," he mumbled, shyly nodding at her chest.
Audrey cocked her eyebrow, and when she looked down, she understood what Harry was pointing at.
With her wand, she fixed her shirt and then smirked naughtily at him. "Did you see what you saw?" she teasingly asked him.
Harry, instead of being shy, boldly nodded and replied, "Yep, I did. You have nice tits."
Audrey, not expecting his answers, giggled, shook her head, and stepped closer to him. "Oh, how much I wish you were in my year; I would have snatched you long ago." She purred softly, rubbing her fingers on his chest.
Before the spluttering Harry could answer, she winked at him and walked away down the stage, swaying her ass.
Harry shook his head to bring himself out of the shock of what just happened and trotted to Professor Vector, who was waiting for him.
"You have left me mighty impressed today, Mr. Potter." She told him with a smile, "None of your opponents stood a chance against you."
"It makes all the work I did fruitful to get a compliment like this from you," Harry expressed his gratitude.
"It's because you deserve it." She said firmly, "After seeing your performance today, I am confident we can win the competition."
"I would try my very best," Harry promised her with a hand to his chest.
"I know you would," Vector giggled. "Now I go and sit with your friends who have been supporting you and wait for others finals to finish, and then the final list will be declared."
Harry nodded and then stepped down the stage and towards where Hermione and Padma were sitting.
He was expecting them to be waiting for him with a smile, but he noticed their faces in worry and their attention somewhere else.
When he looked towards where they were looking, he saw the reason for their tense faces.
Daphne and Susan were facing each other in the final for a spot on the team.
Seeing them face off without any emotion on their faces as they got ready to fight each other, Harry felt a torrent of emotion.
First was the nervousness seeing the two girls he liked against each other, but there was also the feeling of excitement, which he knew both of them were experiencing as well.
Daphne and Susan were two very competitive witches. And Harry knew them; as much as they loved each other, they both wanted to see who was the better fighter.
And even though Harry knew Susan was better since she had started duelling right after she got her wand because of her aunt, he was looking forward to seeing how much harder Daphne could make it for her.
Instead of going to Padma and Hermione, Harry stood where he was at the side and watched the anticipated fight.
On the signal of Professor Sinistra, who was the invigilator, the fight began.
And just like Harry had expected her to, Daphne struck first by throwing a red beam of stunning spell, which Susan easily blocked by her shimmering 'protego' shield.
But Daphne didn't stop; she kept putting relentless pressure on Susan by throwing spells one after another while at the same time she was moving around, not staying at one place.
Harry was slightly impressed by her movements, as she made sure that Susan didn't have a fixed target to aim at.
Susan, though, showed why she was so good, as she kept her shield strong even through the relentless pressure, and when she saw a slight slip in between the spells, she finally attacked.
Sliding to her left, she aimed at where Daphne was going to step and fired a 'reducto' blasting the ground and forcing the blonde to jump backwards.
And now Susan was the one who was on the front foot and showcasing what she had learned from Harry; she threw her spells quickly and with power, something she hadn't used to before.
It was Daphne who was on defence this time, as she brought a golden shield to shield herself, and like a ballerina, she showed her impressive agility and nimble feet by dancing around the incoming spells with perfect precision.
Susan tried to pick her next step, but she missed every time as Daphne was practically floating on the floor.
Her foot movements were mesmerising, and Harry couldn't help but stare in awe.
Suddenly, after sidestepping a trip jinx, Daphne stabbed her wand at the debris on the ground from the explosion spell of Susan, and using a banishing charm, she fired them at Susan.
Susan saw the incoming and put a shield just in time that took the most debris head on, but what she missed were pieces that missed her shield.
Daphne, rotating her wand, charmed those pieces to attack Susan from her blindside.
Susan threw herself forward, missing most of the pieces, but was still struck by a few, which left scratches on her arm.
Holding her slightly bleeding arm, she looked up, and her breath hitched when Daphne, using her complimentary charms skills, joined all the debris and charmed them into a solid ball.
Brandishing her wand, she then threw the ball at the downed red head.
Susan's eyes widened as she stared up at the incoming attack. She knew Daphne was the best among them in charms, but she didn't know she was this good.
But this wasn't the end, like Daphne might have thought, because Susan had an ace up her sleeve—it was something Harry recently taught her.
She closed her eyes while swiping her wand on the ground in front of her in a semicircle shape and whispered, 'humus murus'
Just as the ball of rubble was going to strike her, a rock-solid wall emerged from the ground, covering Susan and taking the full brunt of the hit head-on without breaking.
Daphne, who was not expecting the last-minute defence, was left stunned, and because of that, she was a tad bit slower to react when a barrage of spells flew towards her as Susan emerged from behind the wall.
Still, Daphne was quick enough to dodge the first few spells, but not the others.
She got tripped by a jinx and lost her footing. And just when she was falling on her back, her wand was snatched from her hand.
Susan caught the wand in the air and ended the hard-fought duel with a relieved breath.
The lush silence broke into a loud cheer when Harry and the others joined in, cheering and clapping after that show-stopping display of magic.
With a smile, he made his way towards the two girls who were talking and caught the tail end of their talk.
"-I almost had you, but I am glad it was to my friend I lost to, who was just simply better than me," Daphne told Susan with a smile.
"It looks like you rubbed on her, Susan." Harry teasingly interjected, "Our dear Daphne has started to talk like a Hufflepuff."
"Shut up, you prat." Daphne elbowed him softly, while Susan giggled.
Harry chuckled. "But joke aside, that was an amazing fight." He smiled proudly. "You both had each other on their toes throughout the fight, and only Susan's more range in the magical area won her that."
"Thanks, Harry." Both girls smiled happily at him for the praise.
"Now let's go; our friends are waiting for us," Harry said.
Susan nodded and began walking down the stage while Harry supported Daphne, who had landed badly on her right foot and was using his shoulder to walk.
"Are you sure you would be alright with the loss?" Harry muttered quite quietly.
Daphne rolled her eyes. "Harry, I'm already on the quiz final team and was only trying to see if I could get into duelling as well, but just because I didn't doesn't mean I'm going to lose sleep over it."
"That's my girl," Harry whispered affectionately, hugging her by her waist and carrying her down the stairs.
Daphne ducked her head to hide her blush from the feeling of his hand on her waist, but also because of the way he called her 'my girl'.
She wanted to hear him say that to her every day.
As soon as they reached the beamingly excited Padma, Hermione, Ginny, and Luna, they were soon engulfed in a big hug by all of them.
They spent the next few minutes chatting excitedly, and Harry greeted others who came to congratulate him for his performance.
After a while, a loud whistle blew, and all fourteen finalists were invited back to the stage.
Harry Susan and Daphne walked back, with Daphne still taking the support of Harry, and then stood with the other finalists.
"First of all, congratulations to all the finalists here." Flitwick began with a grin: "All of you were the best of Hogwarts, and you should be proud to make it to the final fourteen."
The big round of applause went around the room for the finalists who accepted the applause.
Once the clapping died down, Professor Flitwick continued, "But only seven of you were to be chosen for the final team."
He then opened the slip with the names of the final team that had every winner from each bracket.
"Now the names that will represent our honourable school in this year's duelling competition are...
"Edward Allen," 7th year Slytherin
"Leo Alder," 7th year Ravenclaw, who was also the head boy.
"Cassius Warrington," 7th-year Slytherin who was also the keeper of the Quidditch team.
"Angelina Johnson," a cheer went from the Gryffindor crowd, and Harry gave a smile to Angelina, who was beaming proudly.
"Cedric Diggory," this time it was Hufflepuff who cheered, and Susan congratulated her housemate as well, while Harry fist bumped his fellow seeker.
"Susan Bones" Harry and Daphne both teased the blushing, smiling Susan, who got a huge cheer from her house.
"And lastly, Harry Potter." The loudest cheer erupted, and this time Susan and Daphne playfully nudged him with a grin on their faces.
"There is one thing still left." Professor Flitwick said loudly, silencing the crowd, "There will be an additional four students who are chosen as reserves in case of an injury to the main team member."
All the finalists who didn't win perked up at the news, and they stood straighter, all of them nervous and hoping they would get chosen.
"The names are... Aaron Watson." A Hufflepuff 6th year
"Brandon Burke," 7th year Ravenclaw
"Audrey Rosier" Harry leaned forward and smiled at the Slytherin head girl, who was trying her best to keep composure, and when she noticed him smiling, she blushed and discreetly winked at him.
"And Daphne Greengrass." With wide eyes, Harry turned to the beautiful blonde, who was standing shell-shocked, even when Susan grabbed her in a tight hug.
Harry joined the hug. "Congratulations, princess," he whispered in her ears.
Daphne stared up at him with her stormy grey eyes, and then, smiling widely, she hugged her friends.
They were then joined by their other friends, who jumped into their hug.
After some difficulty, Harry pulled back, "Celebratory party at room of requirements today from me." He told his friends, who brought him back into the hug, as their excitement doubled after hearing about the party.
Late into the night, Harry was cleaning all the drinks that were scattered around the room of requirements.
The party had just ended, and Harry was still humming to the beats of the songs that were ringing in his ears.
He would have never expected the party to be as fun as it was.
Since he had never gone to or hosted a party, he didn't know how it would go.
But it was safe to say everyone loved it, and Harry greatly enjoyed the night as well with his friends.
For the foods and drinks Harry had, Dobby took responsibility for them, and the loyal elf delivered once again.
With the help of Hermione, he also built a dance floor with a magical radio.
And the whole night he and his friends spent enjoying themselves by eating, drinking, or dancing to the Weird Sisters music.
Harry had especially enjoyed closely dancing with the girls, but more than others, he had fun dancing with Daphne the most.
Although truth be told, half the time he was trying to not take her in his arms and snog the day light out of her.
The naughty minx the whole time she was dancing with him was rubbing her bodies and touching his in a way that was making cock beg to get out of his trousers.
And the sexy blonde knew it as well. Harry had seen in her eyes how much she wanted him, but for some reason she had never gone further than grinding her body on his.
Feeling his dick harden while he thought about Daphne's clothed ass almost hogging his cock Harry shook his head and continued the cleaning.
Even though the room of requirements could remove the used food and drink by itself, Harry still wanted to do it by his own hand.
All of his friends had already left feeling exhausted after the tiring day, and it was only him and Daphne, who was using the washroom, left behind.
Cleaning and vanishing the last of the butterbeer bottle Harry stood with his hand on his hips as he surveyed the now-clean room in satisfaction.
He then wondered what was taking Daphne so long.
As if she heard his thought, Daphne's voice came from the washroom.
"Harry, will you come here for a second?"
Harry turned, and after staring at the washroom for a few seconds, he shrugged and opened the door. "Yeah, sure."
Once he looked in the room, he was confused to see not a washroom as he had expected but instead a big, cosy room.
And in the room was a king-size bed, and sitting on the edge of the bed with her legs crossed was an impishly smiling Daphne.
Harry's confused stare turned into wide eyes as his gaze went from her beautiful face to her body, which was covered in a green fluffy robe.
And Harry gulped when he noticed the knot of the robe was loose and he could see her bare stomach and a hint of her perky tits.
"Daphne, what is going on?" Harry asked, moving into the room while closing the door behind him.
"Well, Harry, I wanted to finish our celebration by giving myself to you," Daphne purred, biting her lips and looking at him through her hooded lids.
Harry's heart started beating faster as he walked slowly to the bed. "And is that the reason you have been teasing me all night?" He said in a low, rumbling voice while pulling his shirt off.
Daphne whimpered, and she rubbed her thighs as she gazed at his lean, muscled chest and those delicious-looking abs of his.
"Maybe," she whispered, her hands shaking in a desire to touch his hard body.
Harry chuckled. "I was thinking about what you had planned in that devious mind of yours." He was now looming in front of her.
He leaned down so close to her lips. "Do you want me, baby?" He whispered, staring into her grey, lust-filled eyes.
"Yes, please," she whispered to his lips.
And Harry closed the gap, took her succulent red lips in his, and kissed her with a deep hunger.
Daphne closed her eyes and moaned in joy as she finally felt his lips on her. Sliding her hands from his chest to his neck, she wrapped her arms around him and pulled him to the bed with her.
Harry grabbed her hips, carried her to the centre of the bed, and laid his weight on her, making her gasp when she felt the bulge of his hard cock on her almost bare pussy.
Gripping the back of her head, Harry tilted her head, thrust his tongue into her mouth, and deepened the kiss.
Daphne moaned, and she began humping her hips on his to feel the outline of his cock rub her aching core.
She had dreamed about how Harry would take her and dominate her, and how she would willingly submit to him and let him do anything he wanted.
And now she was getting everything she had desired, and it was much better than her dreams.
Harry was kissing her with such hunger and dominance that her pussy was wet like a waterfall. He was using his tongue to submit hers, and Daphne was happy to do so.
But she wanted and needed more. There was a deep, insatiate hunger in her that could only be filled by Harry's thick cock.
Reluctantly pulling away from his lips, Daphne, with her flushed cheeks and heavy breathing, stared into his dark, hungry eyes.
"Harry, please, please fuck me and claim me." She begged him, rubbing her hands on his chest and abs and getting closer to what she wanted in her.
But Harry, the tease that he was, grabbed her hands and put them over her head. "What do you want, Daphne? You have to tell me." He said it huskily with a smirk.
Daphne thrashed beneath him and whined, "Please, Harry, take your cock out and put it in me. I need you to fuck me with that big fat cock of yours, please."
Harry groaned upon hearing her dirty talk, but he held himself back from doing as she said and kissed her again.
"Don't worry, baby, I will do that." He whispered in her ears, "But first, let me take a look at this sinful body of yours."
Pulling himself up with one arm, Harry untied the knot of her robes with the other and then pulled the robe away, helped by the eager Daphne, who threw the robe away somewhere without care.
She then laid back, letting Harry's eyes feast on her as she proudly showed her body.
Harry's eyes darkened as he gazed at the perfection that was Daphne's body.
If Hermione had a thick ass and Susan had huge boobs, then Daphne was the fusion of their.
Her body was a perfect hourglass shape, beginning from her big tits that were more than handfuls to her flat stomach and then ending with her bubbly butt, which was the perfect size and tight enough to bounce a galleon on.
Harry's mouth watered, and his dick was almost going to burst through his trousers.
"Fuck, you are divine, Daphne." Harry muttered and then cupped her big boobs. "Your boobs are so soft, so big." He leaned, took her pink nipples in his mouth, and sucked on them.
Daphne moaned, grabbing his hair, when Harry showered her boobs with kisses and sucked on her pebbled nipples.
Harry then kissed his way down to her stomach, where he swept his tongue at her navel.
Daphne gasped as she felt the pleasurable sensation and looked down at Harry to see him smirking at her.
Harry continued his journey, reached his target, and groaned, watching the pink, wet lips of her vagina.
"Fuck, I so badly want to taste you, Daphne," Harry moaned, taking a long lick at her wet lips.
"Fuck..." Daphne moaned, arching her back.
She wanted Harry to kiss and suck her until she was screaming a mess because of his tongue, but right now her hungry pussy needed only one thing.
"Harry, please, I need you to fuck me. You can lick me anytime you want, but right now all I need is for you to fuck me," Daphne pleaded as she pulled him up by his hair.
Harry chuckled at her pleading. "But are you sure you can take me, princess?" He asked playfully while pulling his trousers down and letting his rock-hard cock free.
Daphne's eyes widened, and they bounced in her socket, staring at the massive length bobbing in front of her.
"Morgana, that's huge..." Daphne whispered in awe.
"That's why I ask Princess, are you ready to take me?" Harry asked, stroking his cock.
If Harry thought Daphne would be scared after seeing his massive size, he was wrong because she felt even more desire and hunger to have that massive thing deep in her.
"Fuck yes, I want it... Daddy." Daphne purred, watching him stroke his shaft.
Harry bit his lips to not groan out loud as his cock became even harder in his hands after hearing Daphne call him 'Daddy'.
He leaned down, putting his thick shaft at her wet lips, and while looking into her anticipating eyes, he whispered, "Be ready, princess."
Harry then pushed down and plunged half of his dick into her tight, untouched walls, stopping while groaning at the feeling of her tight walls around his cock.
Daphne's eyes widened. "Oh Fuck," she moaned as her pussy got stretched by the sheer girth of Harry's shaft.
She then looked down and saw that half of his dick was still outside. "Why did you stop?" she asked him.
"Because I don't want to hurt you." Harry whispered, caressing her cheeks, "It takes time to get used to my cock for the first time."
"Harry, I'm not a soft angel like other girls." Daphne growled; she then tried to take more of his dick inside, but Harry stopped her by grabbing her waist.
"You can fuck me as hard as you want; I can take it." She whined at him with frustration clear on her face as she tried to wiggle more of his cock.
Harry chuckled, "If that's your wish, princess."
Grabbing her ass, he pulled his cock out until the tip remained, and then, with one last smirk at her, he thrust his whole cock inside her in one deep lunge.
"Fuck HARRYYY!"
Daphne screamed, and Harry's groaned as her walls squeezed him and flutter on his cock as she orgasmed after getting his whole cock in her.
Her body thrashed as her pussy squirted, and Harry held her down due to how much she was shaking.
Once she stopped shaking, Daphne opened her eyes and saw Harry staring at her in lust and surprise.
"Did you just cum after one thrust?" he asked in shock.
Daphne blushed and shrugged. "I have waited for this for so long, and my pussy had been wet the whole day seeing you beat others."
She then smiled slyly and squeezed her pussy on his cock, making him moan, "And your cock is so big... so thick... that I couldn't take it anymore."
"Now I want more, Harry." She whispered, grinding his cock, "I want you to fuck me hard and make me keep cumming on that fat cock of yours."
Harry growled, and then, hooking his arms under her thighs, he pulled her back and folded her in half, making her shriek in surprise and moan in pleasure as his cock went deeper in the new angle.
"Then get ready, princess," Harry whispered in lust. "I'm going to fuck you hard and rough, just like you want."
Pulling his cock out, he thrust back, hitting the back of her pussy and Harry began a relentless pace as he fucked Daphne hard and fast.
His thrust was shorter but faster, giving her the rough pounding she wanted.
If she wanted him to make her keep vumming on his cock, then Harry would make her cum so many times that she would forget her own name.
He kept slamming his cock in her, hitting her cervix with each thrust, making her see stars.
And Daphne couldn't do but take the hard pounding while she screamed in pleasure and with a pleasure-filled smile on her red face.
It wasn't long before Harry's cock made her cum again, and Daphne screamed his name again as her body spasmed and her pussy leaked her juices again on his big shaft.
But Harry didn't stop fucking her; he kept thrusting his cock at the same rough pace and prolonged her orgasm, sending her from one climax to another without giving her a break.
After so many continuous orgasms, Daphne was in a pleasure-filled haze, and she didn't even know how many times she had cum.
All she could feel right now was Harry's cock filing and stretching her wall to its fullest, and how every time it was battering her womb, it was leaving her breathless.
Her pussy was sore, and her stomach and her bedding were wet from the juices that she had sprayed.
But through all this, she only focused on the pleasure and how she never wanted it to end. Even though her body was tired and her mind was telling her to stop Harry, she still wanted more.
Feeling another orgasm building inside her, she pulled down the handsome face of Harry and claimed his lips.
Harry hungrily kissed her lips, nipping and biting at them while he kept ploughing her pussy with his cock, and Daphne screamed in his mouth as her body shook in another orgasm.
Her tight walls squeezed and fluttered on Harry's thick cock, and he felt his balls churning and was close to releasing the big load in them.
Wanting to finish in a different position, Harry broke the kiss and pulled his cock out of her tightly hugging pussy.
Daphne whined in disappointment at the emptiness in her pussy, and she was going to beg Harry to put it back in but instead was surprised when Harry grabbed her and turned her into her hands and knees.
Realising what he wanted, Daphne laid down on her knees, her upper body on the bed, and her juicy butt raised in the air.
She then looked over her shoulder at Harry and wiggled her ass at him invitingly while biting her lips.
Harry groaned seeing the bouncing pale ass in front of him and the red pussy of her that was wet and gaping, ready to take his cock again.
SMACK
Daphne moaned as Harry spanked her ass, and then a scream left her mouth when Harry filled her soaking pussy with his thick cock again.
"Oh, fucking Morgana..." Her eyes widened, and she gasped when she felt his cock was even deeper than before, if it was even possible.
She snaked one of her hands under her and moaned wantonly when she touched the outline of his cock on her abs.
She almost cummed again at the thought that Harry was almost at her stomach, touching her womb with his every thrust.
Harry grabbed bountiful of her ass and began hammering his cock inside her weeping cunt, making Daphne bite the sheet to muffle her scream of pleasure.
Feeling himself right on the edge, Harry leaned down over her, covering her with his larger frame, and then grabbed her bouncing boobs.
Daphne moaned in the sheets when Harry moulded her tits and pinched her sensitive nipples, getting her to her edge again.
"Fuck daph, your pussy is so good..." Harry moaned in her ears, nipping at her earlobe. "It's so tight... so warm... so wet..." He grunted with each hard thrust, sending her deeper into the bed.
"And it's all mine, isn't it, princess?" Harry bit her neck possessively. "Tell me this pussy is mine," he demanded while reshaping her pussy with his big cock.
"Oh Harry.." Daphne moaned, looking over her shoulder at him, "It's... yours." She stared into his eyes with love and lust. "My pussy is yours... My whole body is yours... I am yours."
Harry leaned down and kissed her lips, nipping at her lower lips. "Fuck, I am so close, princess," he groaned in her mouth while keeping his hard thrust in her, chasing his release.
"Cum in me, please, Harry! I need it... I want you to cum in me and fill my pussy with your cum." Daphne begged him, squeezing her pussy on his cock, trying to milk every drop of his cum.
"Oh fuck, Daphne..." Harry moaned, hugging her closer, and with one last deep thrust, he filled her pussy with his cum rope after rope he kept cumming.
Daphne's eyes rolled back in her skull, and her tongue lolled out as she spasmed in pleasure, and she orgasmed again, feeling the warm, thick cum of Harry in her pussy.
Both lovers shook in pleasure as Harry kept cumming in her pussydeep, painting it white, just like Daphne wanted.
Finally, when he felt his balls empty and all his cum drained, Harry dropped down beside her and pulled her closer to him while still keeping his spent cock in her.
Normally, he would be ready to go again, but after the tiring day, he just didn't have any stamina left.
Pulling himself up, Harry looked around at his Slytherin princess and chuckled when he saw her already asleep after the rough pounding she just took for the first time.
Shaking his head, Harry pulled her closer to his chest, and with just a thought, the room provided a blanket, and he covered both of them with it.
With one last kiss to her neck and a soft murmur of "good night" to the sleeping girl, Harry closed his eyes and joined her as well in the dreamland.
