In the darkness, a pale glow lit up from the tip of Link's wand.
This caught Draco's attention. He stopped his muttering and squinted his eyes, trying to see what exactly the source of the light ahead was.
The next moment, Link's figure appeared from the darkness.
"Good evening, Draco."
"Lin… Link?" Draco spoke uncertainly, while uneasily retreating a few steps.
But it was already too late.
Link raised his wand, and a ball of white light whooshed out.
"Depulso!"
"Protego!"
A sudden burst of dazzling light exploded in the air.
Draco actually managed, at the last second, to pull out his wand and release Protego.
Zzzhh!~
The white light clashed with the semi-transparent shield mid-air. Large globs of plasma-like thick fluid dripped down, scorching the floor into patches of black burn marks.
In the end, Link's spell was still deflected by Draco.
Unfortunately, Draco's mastery of Protego didn't seem very high, so the spell wasn't reflected back along its path, but instead veered and landed by Link's feet.
"Are you crazy, Link!?" Draco screamed hysterically. Link's sudden attack had truly scared him, and even now his legs were trembling.
But upon hearing this, Link's expression darkened.
He was very confident in the power of his spell. With Draco being just a second-year student, even with the advantage of being from a pure-blood family and raised by the Malfoys, there was no way he should have been able to block it.
So the only explanation was that Draco really was the heir, and had received some benefits from Voldemort's remnant soul, which caused his power to leap forward.
Having realized this, a sinister smile curled up on Link's lips, and he waved his wand again.
"Expelliarmus!"
The scarlet beam of light tore through the surrounding darkness, flying straight toward Draco.
Draco gritted his teeth and raised Protego again, but this time, Link didn't give him any chance.
Crack!
The scarlet beam instantly shattered the shield in front of Draco and exploded directly on him, sending him flying along with his wand.
"Haa!" Draco cried out in pain as he crashed to the ground, and struggled to lift his head to look forward.
But just as he moved a little, a black wand glowing with blue light pressed against his forehead.
"Let's talk then. About you being the heir." Link said coldly.
As soon as these words fell, Draco's expression froze. He stared blankly at Link for a long time before finally forcing a smile and saying, "Link, w-what are you talking about? How could I possibly be the heir?"
Link didn't reply. He simply poured more magic power into his wand, making the blue light at the tip glow even brighter.
This made Draco extremely nervous. He shook his head wildly and struggled. His peripheral vision caught sight of Harry walking over not far away.
"It was him! It was Potter! He's the one slandering me!" Draco roared with a twisted face, "Link, don't believe him! We're both pure-bloods, we're on the same side! You can't trust that bunch of Mud—"
"Depulso."
A chant like a whisper from the underworld interrupted Draco's foul language and instantly drained all the strength from his body, making him collapse to the ground like a pile of mush.
"You really are disgusting, Malfoy! You..." Harry, who had walked up, couldn't help cursing.
He had absolutely no sympathy for Draco. After all, Draco had been making sarcastic jabs and tripping him up for over a year now. If not for the fear of expulsion, Harry would've already punched him himself.
But after letting off steam at Draco, Harry became worried again.
Just now, Dumbledore had clearly warned Link not to retaliate, yet Link still…
"Link, what do we do now?" Harry asked anxiously. He was genuinely worried Link would be expelled.
But Link misunderstood his meaning. Upon hearing this, the smile at Link's mouth became even brighter, and he slowly raised his wand and said, "Well, since our little dragon doesn't want to talk, we'll just have to spice it up."
"Bladder Explosion!"
A flash of gray light passed, and Draco's body instantly underwent a change.
But that wasn't the end.
Link shifted his wand again and chanted, "Colloportus!"
"The… the counter to Alohomora?" Harry cried out in surprise.
That spell was one of Hogwarts' required first-year spells, so of course Harry knew it.
As the name implied, Colloportus was the counter-spell to the unlocking charm.
Its effect was also the opposite of Alohomora, it locks a certain "door."
What truly shocked Harry was that the direction Link had pointed his wand was… below Draco.
'That place can be locked too?'
For a moment, Harry's eyes were filled with amazement. What Link had just done felt like it had opened the door to a whole new world.
As for Draco, he wasn't doing so well now. At this moment, a powerful urge to urinate surged through his whole body, but the "door" for it had been locked...
This indescribable sensation made his face contort in extreme pain.
Link slowly let Draco endure for a while, then finally lowered his head and spoke to the already pain-masked Draco, "Willing to talk now?"
"N… not me…" Draco gritted his teeth and said.
Hearing this, Link's expression completely changed. His patience had limits. Let alone the fact that the situation now was extremely urgent.
Link suddenly swung his wand, there was no visible glow, but the small breeze it stirred brushed past Draco's face.
And then, under Harry's horrified gaze, a fine red line slowly appeared on Draco's forehead and quickly widened into a gaping wound.
Blood trickled across Draco's terrified face, flowing into his wide-open eyes filled with fear.
That was just the appetizer. Link steadied himself and once again raised his wand.
This time, the tip of Link's wand had no light at all, but Draco's pupils, now washed in red, suddenly shrank.
He knew very well, Link was serious this time.
Link really wanted to kill him. Because Link Flamel had always been a bloodthirsty monster wearing human skin since he was a child.
"I'll talk! I'm the heir! I was the one who made the monster in the Chamber attack Filch's cat! I also attacked Victoria, and I helped Pansy take revenge on Lavender! Please! Don't kill me! Don't kill me…"
Draco cried out with tears and snot streaming down, but his voice grew quieter and quieter, until it was just soft sobbing and begging.
Upon seeing this, Link and Harry looked at each other.
The latter was still frozen in horror, but the former's eyes lit up.
