After dinner on Friday, Harry and Hermione went to the school doctor's office to visit and take care of Ron. Ron was now able to eat and sleep, which was great! If Madam Pomfrey hadn't strongly requested that he be observed for another two days, he would have been discharged directly!
Harry had curiously asked Ron just now, wanting to know how he felt after hearing the cries of the mandrakes when he was in the greenhouse. As a result, Ron said: It was like a hundred Professor Dumbledores yelling at the first party! At that time, he only felt a loud "buzzing!" sound in his ears! I don’t know anything anymore!
Then Harry finally got his homework together: the one that Professor Pomona Sprout asked to fill a whole parchment on the habits of mandrakes! He wrote down Ron's first-hand account of when the wizard heard the cry of Mandrake, and that's how he rounded up the number of words!
After making sure that Ron was fine, Harry and Hermione hurried back to the school hall. Because tonight, there is a duel club specially organized by Professor Lockhart from the Defense Against the Dark Arts class. Both of them have already signed up and must be there!
"Welcome everyone to join my duel club! Thank you very much! Your enthusiasm really makes me feel very honored!"
The auditorium was packed with dozens of students, basically from every grade, and they were excitedly discussing this novel dueling club with each other.
On a small temporary stage built with wooden boards, Professor Lockhart was wearing a decent tight-fitting gown and a shiny slicked back hair. He stood very coquettishly on the stage and gave a speech with a slight bow to the students.
"Welcome everyone here again. I just counted the number of people. There should be no one absent, right? This is very good! Here, I am happy to tell you that this duel club has the approval and support of our Principal Dumbledore. ! So!" Lockhart picked up his wand and wrote a line of dazzling magical fonts in the air. It read: Lockhart's Duel Club is about to begin!
When the students below saw this, they immediately began to applaud enthusiastically. This Defense Against the Dark Arts professor is still very popular! It can be seen from the number of people attending the club!
"Okay, thank you! Thank you everyone! Please be quiet, please. I have a few more things to tell you. I believe it won't take up too much time! Just a moment, just a moment!" Ha. After Lott signaled the students to quiet down, he waved to Snape, who had been standing there with a dark face, and motioned for him to stand next to him.
"Here, let me introduce it to you first! Today, I have the honor to invite Professor Snape to be my assistant!" After Lockhart finished speaking, he grinned, and a student named Dolin below suddenly He started taking pictures with his camera.
"Professor Snape said that he also knows a thing or two about duels. In this case, he can help me give a small demonstration before the duel officially begins! But please don't worry, I will definitely be merciful and will never I will accidentally injure your Potions teacher! I am very confident about this. If you have read my autobiography, you should know that back then, I fought vampires and werewolves!"
Hum! Snape looked at Lockhart with cold eyes, who was showing off and bragging triumphantly on the stage, using various tricks to fool the students and improve himself! Snape felt that his own endurance was about to reach its limit! His eyes narrowed slightly, and he had secretly made a decision in his heart: He must teach this bastard a profound lesson in a while!
"Okay, it seems that everyone has been looking forward to it for a long time! Then, let us have a duel first to give everyone a demonstration before the official start!" Lockhart kept bragging until the students started After getting impatient at first, he calmed down a little. He was going to have a friendly demonstration match with Snape! It's just friendship, stop there! Or so he thought.
After the announcement, Lockhart and Snape took a few steps away from each other, then turned to face each other. Lockhart bowed, while Snape just nodded coldly to him. Then they held their respective wands to their chests like swords.
"You have all seen that we are holding our wands in a normal dueling posture," Lockhart turned to the students triumphantly, "When I count to three, the two of us will start casting spells! Of course, I promise not to use harmful spells! Otherwise, you will not be able to attend potions class tomorrow!" As soon as Harold finished speaking, the students below burst into laughter!
Snape's face turned even uglier when he heard that Harold dared to say such words! The back of his hand holding the wand was so hard that the veins were exposed! It seems that he will not spare this bitchy Harold lightly today, right?
"Harry, who do you think is more powerful between the two of them?" Hermione, like other students, watched the duel on the stage with interest and asked Harry next to her, guessing who of the two above could win.
"Snape, the dark wizard, must win! I don't think Professor Harlot will be his opponent!" Harry looked at the two people in the stands, hesitated and whispered, this was his intuition! Harry had been punished so severely by Snape recently that just scolding Snape, the dark wizard, was already considered very friendly!
"Harry! You should call him Professor Snape! And you shouldn't slander your Potions teacher behind his back! If he hears it, you'll be doomed!" Looking around, no one noticed that Harry had just just After saying this, Hermione warned Harry in a low voice! Once these words reached Snape's ears, another twenty pages of homework would be considered a light punishment!
"Professor Snape, are you ready? I'm about to start counting down! Please pay attention! One, two, three - Expelliarmus!" Lockhart first deliberately asked Snape, and then counted When he reached three, he immediately cast a disarming spell. As he wished, the spell hit perfectly before the opponent could react, and knocked Snape's wand into the air. Lockhart was very proud to catch the wand before it landed. Lived it.
"Aha! Have you seen it? This is a duel! Isn't it very simple? And I am honored to defeat Professor Snape of your Potions class! Of course, after all, I am your Defense Against the Dark Arts professor. !" Lockhart held two wands in his hand. He thought that he had already won the victory after grabbing the wand, so he was going to salute the students and whistle for a while.
"Let me tell you! The battle isn't over yet, right? Are you a little too happy too soon?"
Snape felt that Lockhart was a bit of a cheat and deliberately took action early, but he actually started celebrating on his own. Did he really think that he had won? What a joke! Moreover, Snape deliberately asked him to take the wand first just now, just to see the other party's despicable face! He feels that he can't bear it anymore! We must teach this clown a lesson immediately!
"Collapse! Expelliarmus!"
Professor Snape pointed at Lockhart with two fingers side by side, shouted two spells quickly, and then two different spells were issued almost at the same time. Two rays of magic hit Lockhart who was caught off guard, one after another. Amidst the exclamations of a group of students, he was knocked off the stage and fell heavily to the floor of the auditorium and passed out. At the same time, the two wands in his hands were also knocked away. , one of which flew back into Snape's hand.
"Wow! Casting spells without a wand! He can actually use it so skillfully!"
The students below all exclaimed. Since Anne started teaching the secret of wandless casting a week ago, the students have more or less mastered it, but no one has ever been able to use it in actual combat as skillfully as Snape! This is still casting two wandless spells at the same time! And it looks so powerful! The speed and power just now are almost the same as casting a spell with a staff, right?
"Look! I said, the dark wizard must win, right?" Harry turned to look at the stunned Hermione. He had already guessed that this would be the result! Even though Harry himself hated Snape very much, he didn't want him to win! But what I have to admit is that the strength of this dark wizard is much more reliable than that frivolous Professor Harlot!
"It seems... Professor Lockhart needs a good rest. I wonder if he will be absent from the Defense Against the Dark Arts class tomorrow? Hum! Then, I will have to host the Duel Club tonight. ! I think everyone has no objections, right?" Looking at the unconscious Lockhart and the students whispering below, Snape curled up the corners of his mouth and sneered maliciously.
After seeing Snape's cold eyes sweep over him and stay on him for a short while, Harry suddenly felt that maybe he shouldn't come here tonight! Tell him intuitively! If you stay any longer, something bad will definitely happen to you! It seems that he must find a way to leave early! Which is better, urine escape or feces escape?
"Hermione, let's go back early? I suddenly feel a little uncomfortable in my stomach. I must have eaten too much at dinner! I want to leave now. It's best to go back and have a good sleep!" Harry began to ask him. Get up Hermione.
"No! Harry! The dueling club has just started now! I really want to have a good time!" Hermione is proficient in many wandless spells, and she feels that she should have a big advantage tonight! Maybe you can have fun playing a few games! As long as the opponents are not those senior students!
"But, I always feel that Snape has ill intentions towards me! He will definitely take the opportunity to deal with me!" Harry leaned next to Hermione and whispered.
"Harry, couldn't you stop making up a professor so randomly?"
"But I think that's what he is! Look at the way he looks at me!" Harry turned his head, and sure enough! He met Snape's cold eyes again!
"Okay! Harry! Stop thinking nonsense, the duels have begun to be divided into groups! Come and get ready!" Hermione grabbed Harry's arm and dragged him to the grouping point.
As for the way Professor Snape looked at Harry, Hermione felt that it was entirely because he was overthinking it! Anyway, Snape has always been like this to Harry! Temporary escape is meaningless, he should learn to get used to it as soon as possible! Maybe you will get used to it if you suffer it!
