Hogwarts: The Book of Magic

Chapter 139 Duel Club

Lockhart froze for a moment, he didn't expect Mr. Principal to be so ruthless.

"Ahem, maybe I was wrong. What happened in the castle before was too scary, so I was a little anxious." Lockhart said hastily.

Dumbledore nodded without saying much.

The corner of Snape's mouth curled up inadvertently, and it could be seen that he was in a good mood.

"Okay, children, please be quiet." Dumbledore stood up and said, "Unfortunately, the three black magic items that Professor Lockhart found are not the culprits, so please stay safe in the days to come." , if you find any strange phenomenon, please report it to the professor in time."

Dumbledore paused, glanced at Harry and the Weasley twins, and continued: "From now on, there will be a professor in charge of watching the night every night. So I also invite some students to find the real murderer before we find it." Before, don’t come out for night tours casually.”

Harry lowered his head. He had seen Dumbledore glance at him just now, and he had been wandering around in the Invisibility Cloak a lot lately.The Weasley brothers applauded each other playfully, looking a little honored.

"Well, children, no matter how difficult it is, it is necessary to fill the stomach."

As Dumbledore's voice fell, many delicacies appeared on the table.The little wizards were also polite, and immediately stretched out their hands and started to move.

It seems that this big screening has deterred the dark hand, and Hogwarts was peaceful in the next two weeks.

No one travels at night because it has been banned.No one was messing around, and the Weasley twins were still cleaning the toilet because of the pile of toys that Professor McGonagall had collected.Even Malfoy had stopped bickering with Potter recently, and students from the third year and above suddenly found that life at school was exactly the same as it was two years ago.

The time came to Saturday, the week before Christmas, and the dueling club that the little wizards had been looking forward to finally showed its face.

It was an extremely spacious classroom, and the house-elf had cast the Untraceable Stretching Charm. There was enough room for all the little wizards to sit down, and there was enough space for a stage.

Candles burned on the surrounding walls, amplified by the reflectors behind them, illuminating the entire classroom.A crystal chandelier is placed on the ceiling, emitting a gentle light to illuminate the entire classroom.Several protective spells were cast on the stage in the middle to prevent the little wizard watching the battle below from being accidentally injured.

That night, the little wizards slowly walked into this classroom that had been remodeled for a long time with excitement.

"Cool!" Ron saw the huge stage the first time he entered the door.

"It must be nice to stand on it and receive the cheers." Harry was also a little moved, and he could best understand the mood when he received the cheers.

"Of course, it would be great if I could stand on it and receive the cheers. Unfortunately, my wand has become like this now." With that, Ron took out his stick that was stuck together with tape. wand.

It was broken by the Whomping Willow at the beginning of school.

The little wizards were seated according to the division of the academy, which happened to correspond to the front, back, left, and right sides of the stage.

After a while, Lockhart and Snape also walked in.Lockhart looked handsome in his fuchsia robes.Snape was still in the same black robe, with a sneer on his face. The little wizard who was familiar with Snape knew that Professor Snape was in a bad mood at the moment, and someone was going to be in trouble.

"Haha, everyone is welcome to the Dueling Club. You can learn the charm of dueling from here, and you can also learn more practical magic. By the way, these magics are the most practical magics that I have summed up after so many adventures." , don't miss it."

Lockhart walked onto the stage, snapped his fingers, and the crystal chandelier above his head cast a beam of light, illuminating Lockhart and reducing the light in other places along the way.

"Of course, a slap cannot be slapped, and a duel is a matter between two people. So, let us welcome my assistant—Professor Snape."

A beam of light descended from the sky, illuminating Snape and allowing the little wizards to clearly see Snape's sneer.

"Okay, let's stop talking nonsense, let me have a real duel with Professor Snape first. What do you think, Professor?"

"Up to you," Snape said, and then ignored him.

"Okay, then let me introduce the rules of the duel..."

Although young wizards knew the rules of dueling, it wouldn't hurt to hear Lockhart explain it again.

"One...two...three! Disarm." Lockhart shouted three, and immediately released the disarming spell.

But unfortunately, Snape just avoided it with a tilt of his head.

"Disarm you!" The same magic can have different powers in the hands of different people.

Snape's disarming spell not only caused Lockhart's wand to fly into the air and fall into the crystal chandelier, but he himself was also knocked out by the aftermath and fell onto the protective film produced by the stage.

The little wizards suddenly laughed happily, and some of the little wizards showed worried expressions.

"Ahem, did you see, children, don't think that the power of a spell is small because of its foundation, sometimes these spells can also exert great power."

Lockhart got up from the ground, rubbed his chest twice, and said.

"Ah, Professor Snape, our duel is over here, we must give the students a little room to express themselves."

Lockhart saw Snape raised his wand, and quickly waved his hand and said.He just loves fame, and he's not really stupid. If he does it again, he might lose his own people.

Snape curled his lips in displeasure, he still had a lot of tricks to do, who knew that Lockhart would be so helpless.

But when the little wizards below heard this, they immediately became excited. Who wouldn't want to show their majesty on the stage?

"Then, Mr. Potter, would you like to come up?" Lockhart glanced down the stage, and immediately spotted Harry in the crowd.

"Then... Malfoy." Similarly, Snape also noticed Malfoy who was eager to try, and after hearing that Lockhart chose Harry, he chose Malfoy without hesitation.

"Scarhead, don't cry when you lose later." Malfoy stood on the stage, wearing a dark green robe.

"Hehe, at least I won't be pushed to the ground when I enter school." Harry was also not to be outdone, and directly sarcastically said.

"Then you don't ask me to let go of my feet later." Malfoy was a little angry, which was his lifelong shame.

Some freshmen in the audience who didn't know the truth began to ask the seniors around them, and after hearing the answer, they looked at Li En with reverence.
