At first, Malfoy was targeted with hexes and jinxes whenever the others thought his guard was down. Unfortunately for them, Malfoy’s guard was never down. When no one had managed to land a single spell without Malfoy silently deflecting them, agitation bubbled even hotter on the surface. When the first cadet took a swing at Malfoy, Harry thought for sure this was where Malfoy’s arrogance would crumble. More surprising than his adept wordless magic was his ability to fight like a muggle. After one well-placed left hook, the first cadet to take a swing at him was also the last cadet to take a swing at him.
