Chinese students at Hogwarts

The four long tables in the auditorium disappeared, and a gilded stage appeared in the center, shining with dazzling light under the illumination of thousands of candles.

Zhang Xiao looked at this exaggerated stage and couldn't help but curl his lips, Lockhart's poor aesthetics.

The ceiling became as dark as velvet again, and almost all the students from the school were here, crowded together, everyone holding their own wands, their faces full of excitement.

They have never tried a duel. Apart from secretly reciting small curses to their friends, they have not even had the opportunity to cast spells face to face.

There were too many people around, and the long robes were very obstructive. They would always accidentally step on their classmates' robes, and apologize awkwardly in the face of the other's dissatisfied eyes.

"I wonder who will teach us." Hermione said as they squeezed sideways into the chattering crowd, "Professor Flitwick was the world wizard dueling champion when he was young. Maybe he will teach us."

"Duel champion?"

Ron raised his eyebrows and showed a surprised expression. He didn't expect that the short Professor Flitwick had such a glorious past.

Malfoy also nodded: "If that's the case"

"Anyone can do it. Several professors are very good. As long as it's not -" Harry didn't finish his words, but turned into a groan - Lockhart walked onto the stage, wearing a purple robe, dazzling.

The person next to him was none other than Snape, who still looked cold and distant.

They are both the people he hates the most, and what's even more outrageous is that the two of them actually appeared together!

The little wizards all showed disappointed expressions and sighed in unison. Lockhart's performance has made most people see clearly what kind of person he is after such a long time since school started.

Although many little witches still insist that Professor Lockhart is an extraordinary wizard, after all, no one has actually seen him in action.

Except for the professors, after all, they rescued Lockhart who was hung up during the special operation to clear the eight-eyed spiders from the Forbidden Forest.

Everyone's boos and sighs obviously made Lockhart a little embarrassed. He smiled stiffly, waved his hands to tell everyone to be quiet, and then shouted loudly: "Come around, come around! Can everyone see me?"

Can you all hear me? Great!

That's right, based on recognition of my strength (huge boos) - Professor Dumbledore allowed me to open a dueling club and fully train everyone.

Just in case you ever need to defend yourself, do what I have done countless times - see my published work for details. "

Then Zhang Xiao listened absently to Lockhart's bragging, his eyes scanning the entire auditorium, and he saw many details.

For example, Madam Pomfrey, the queen of the school hospital, was sitting on a chair in the corner, glaring at Lockhart. If his eyes could cast spells, Lockhart would probably be riddled with holes.

In another corner, on a high cabinet, a tabby cat with spectacles lines on its face was lying there, yawning loudly.

Lockhart rambled on for almost ten minutes, most of which was spent bragging about himself and promoting his new book.

At the end, he finally noticed that the little wizard was about to roll his eyes to the sky, and then he stopped talking without saying anything.

"Okay, okay, I've felt everyone's enthusiasm, and more interesting details are in my upcoming new book, "I Taught at Hogwarts."

Ahem - let me introduce my assistant, Professor Snape," Lockhart said, grinning widely.

"He told me that he himself knew a thing or two about dueling, and he graciously agreed to help me with a small demonstration before class.

I said, I don’t want to worry you little guys - after I finish demonstrating with him, I will return your Potions Master intact to you, so don’t be afraid!"

The voices of the young wizards suddenly became louder, and Harry watched in horror as a terrifying smile appeared on Snape's face that was ten times more terrifying than deducting points for him.

He didn't understand why Lockhart was still smiling;

If Snape had looked at him like that, he would have spread his legs and run as fast as he could in the opposite direction.

Malfoy waved his fist angrily and booed along with the little Slytherin wizard:

"Dean, show him something awesome!"

Lockhart waved his wand and made a violent explosion. The little wizards were startled and suddenly fell silent.

Um? This move seems good, right? Zhang Xiao's attention was immediately drawn back.

"You are always so impatient." Lockhart looked down with satisfaction. He suddenly waved his hand, and the floor of the stage suddenly opened up - Professor Flitwick sat from under the floor, sitting on what has become his signature children's Xiangyun with a smile. flew out.

"Surprise is coming!

Welcome to another of my assistants! Filius Flitwick, a former duel champion! "

The Ravenclaw side immediately burst into warm applause and cheers.

Zhang Xiao clicked his tongue. Lockhart can write novels. This emotional pull and reversal pull are so exciting!

Even he couldn't help but look forward to it. After all, Professor Flitwick was really capable.

Lockhart was very satisfied with the atmosphere below. At first, he was hesitant to invite Flitwick. After all, the title of Duel Champion was still very resounding.

What if Flitwick stole the limelight from him?

But in the end, Lockhart still invited Flitwick, because he suddenly realized that it didn't matter what the young wizards thought.

The key is how it is written in the report, as long as adult wizards see "Lockhart's assistant-dueling champion Flitwick."

Then these wizards with real spending power will instinctively think that they are stronger than Flitwick! Otherwise, why would Flitwick be the assistant and he be the leader?

And who says I really can’t do anything?

Lockhart smiled confidently. Ever since he was severely bullied by spiders in the Forbidden Forest, he had learned the hard way and decided to pick up the lost magic again.

I graduated from Ravenclaw!

Those magics are my innate abilities, I just waste them and just pick them up again!

Tonight, I will wash away the stigma and let you see the real me!

This is my battle to clear my name!

So three minutes later, the little wizards were dumbfounded as Lockhart, who was extremely confident and wanted to demonstrate a 'high-end duel' with Professor Snape, flew far away.

Even the gorgeous purple robe had a big hole.

The corners of Zhang Xiao's mouth twitched twice, isn't it, that's it? Looking at you like that, I thought you were about to rise.

That's it?

Lockhart walked awkwardly back to the center of the stage.

"Okay, everyone saw it!" He desperately arranged his natural curly hair with his hands, trying to hide it.

"Look, I hit this spell on purpose just to show you what a real disarming spell is. Actually-"

He glanced at Snape and said, "I can easily stop your spell. Your intention just now is obvious..."

Lockhart wisely closed his mouth, because Snape's face was getting darker and darker, and his hand was slowly reaching for the wand.

He hurriedly shut up, handed over the control to Flitwick, and stood in the corner and began to think hard about how to write the report so that both Flitwick and Snape could be used as his foils.

Professor Flitwick kept looking at the situation on the field with a smile, not caring that Lockhart had caused trouble again.

He floated to the center of the stage, pointed his wand at his neck, and said in a loud voice:

“Thanks to both professors for the presentation.

First I want to talk to you about what a duel is.

Duel is an art. It is not about two people standing apart, pointing their wands at each other, and chanting spells loudly.

It is an elegant art that involves so many things that even if you spend your whole life, you will not dare to say that you have reached the end of the duel.

Duels are what test a wizard's true level. "

The young wizards listened carefully to Professor Flitwick's story with completely different attitudes. This differential treatment made Lockhart in the corner's face begin to twist with jealousy.

But before the official start, I would like one of you and I to take the stage and demonstrate through actual battle what a duel is all about. "

The little wizards couldn't help but hold their breath, a little expecting to be chosen but afraid of being embarrassed.

The Ravenclaw students looked left and right, and finally gritted their teeth and raised their trembling hands, trying to stand up to their dean even if they were embarrassed!

At this moment, Professor Flitwick looked at Zhang Xiao and said loudly:

"Zhang, how about we give a demonstration?"
