At eight o'clock that night, after the dining tables in the auditorium were cleared, a gilded stage appeared on the wall of the auditorium, sparkling in the air with hundreds of candles.
The ceiling once again turned into a velvety pure black, complementing the light of the candles. Almost all the students in the school arrived, everyone holding their own wands, waiting for what would happen next with excitement.
"I don't know who will preside over this dueling club. I heard that Professor Flitwick, the dean of your college, was a dueling champion when he was young. Maybe he will teach us?"
"Professor Flitwick is indeed a master of dueling, but he is not the protagonist tonight. Look, the protagonist has already begun to appear, hasn't he?"
Hermione looked in the direction indicated by Rolf, and saw Gilderoy Lockhart in a purple robe walking onto the gilded stage excitedly. He was really dazzling tonight.
Under the reflection, Snape, who was still wearing a black robe next to him, looked much more desolate. And unlike Lockhart, who was full of excitement, Snape still maintained his face of a perpetual creditor, as if everyone here owed him
Just like a wife.
Sometimes Rolf wonders, if Harry were a girl and looked more like his mother, would Snape still be like this? Maybe he could write a novel called "What If..."?
"Everyone, everyone come around! Everyone looks at me! Yes, everyone, look at me! Okay! That's it! I have something important to announce!"
"Thanks to our great principal, His Excellency Dumbledore, for agreeing to my application. That is to set up a small dueling club to fully train everyone in case you need to defend yourself one day. I have used various methods to protect myself countless times.
——For details in this regard, please see my published works."
"Okay, after the formal talk, let me introduce my assistant, Professor Snape. He told me that he himself knows a thing or two about dueling, and he graciously agreed to attend class during class.
Please help me give a small demonstration."
"Of course, I don't want to worry you little guys - after I finish demonstrating with him, I will still return your Potions Master intact to you, don't be afraid!"
As he spoke, Lockhart smiled and bowed slightly to Snape. Snape's mouth twitched and he began to look at him with a dead look.<
/p>
Now that Jihad Lockhart has taken over this position, he should pay a small price to prove the authenticity of the curse, right?
"It's actually Professor Lockhart and Snape..."
"Huh? Shouldn't it be Professor Lockhart and Professor Snape? Hush, the show is about to begin."
Rolf interrupted what Hermione was about to say and motioned for her to watch the actions of Lockhart and Snape on the stage. At this time, Lockhart could not wait to start showing himself.
He and Snape walked to opposite ends of the stage, and then bowed facing each other. At least Lockhart bowed seriously, while Snape nodded symbolically.
Then, they each raised their wands in front of themselves like swords.
In the eyes of others, this posture may be very handsome, but Luo Fu thinks that if he holds three wands in both hands, wouldn't it be a magical version of panda burning incense?
Obviously Lockhart didn't know the joke Rolf was making deep inside his heart at this time, and he was still very eager to introduce the rules of duel to the surrounding students.
"As you can see, we hold our wands in a normal dueling posture. When I count to three, we will cast the first spell on each other. Of course, neither of us will take the other's life."<
/p>
"One~two~~three!"
As soon as those three words were spoken, Lockhart and Snape quickly raised their wands and began to prepare to cast spells on their opponents.
And what happened next was not unexpected at all. Snape took the lead in shouting the famous "Expelliarmus!" with the momentum of shouting a death curse, and saw a dazzling red light flashing, and Lockhart was like
A baseball that is hit hard is usually knocked out.
His feet left the floor of the stage, flew upside down and hit the wall behind him, and then slowly slid against the wall to the ground.
Lockhart curled up and twitched on the ground for a while before slowly getting up. His hat was gone, and his originally glorious curly hair had turned into a hen's nest.
He staggered back to the stage and said to the people around him, "This is a disarming charm. As you can see, I lost my wand. Thank you, Mr. Scamander."
."
After receiving the wand sent by Rolf through magic, Lockhart nodded to express his gratitude and began to try to explain his poor performance just now. It seemed that the return of the wand gave him a little more courage.
"Yes, Professor Snape, great disarming spell! I had already guessed that you would do this. In fact, it was effortless for me to stop you. I just...just wanted to increase everyone's knowledge.
, so I just let you hit it on purpose..."
But Snape still looked at him with a murderous expression, as if the next sentence coming out of his mouth was not Expelliarmus, but Avada Kedavra. In order to prevent Professor Snape from making mistakes, Loha
Professor Te decisively announced the end of the demonstration and asked everyone to start practicing in groups.
Then he and Snape walked through the crowd, looking for suitable opponents for each of them. Rove noticed that Snape still paired Harry and Malfoy together, letting them fall in love and kill each other.
On his side, without waiting for Lockhart or Snape to come over to make arrangements, he hooked his hand at Hermione, gesturing for her to attack him, just like they did in training before.
"Speaking of which, we all seem to be busy with our own things recently. We haven't practiced for a long time. I wonder how your level is? Ms. Granger."
Hermione was not convinced by Rolf's statement. It was obvious that Rolf was the only one who was busy with his own affairs, but she had been keeping an eye on Ginny for him. This was the last time this guy had sent Ginny back.
He returned to normal, but he began to become elusive.
So much so that Hermione was worried that something was wrong with him, but she couldn't find a chance to ask him. Even if she wanted to follow him secretly, she would be discovered and quickly dumped.
It wasn't until the Duel Club held a party today that she had the chance to say a few words to him. And this guy actually acted like nothing had happened, which made Hermione feel very angry just thinking about it.
So after Luo Fu signaled, she waved her wand and cast a stun spell without hesitation. Unfortunately, Luo Fu blocked it lightly and commented.
"The spells and movements are pretty standard, but the strength is a bit weak. Is this what Miss Know-It-All has to offer? Do you also want to be the heir of Ravenclaw?"
