Learn magic in Harry Potter

Amid the panic of many wizards, Lockhart stood up and promised with a pat on his chest that he would catch the heir.

He had a confident smile on his face, showing his sparkling teeth, and this, coupled with his reassuring way of speaking, really brought him back a lot of popularity.

Lockhart acted quickly. In order to increase his popularity, he took a risk and convinced all the professors within a few days.

After the little wizards waited anxiously, they finally got the news.

After finishing dinner, Wright was excitedly pulled by Neville to the bulletin board in the lounge to read the notice.

Light was standing in front of the bulletin board, holding a rooster statue and Neville, looking at the newly nailed parchment on it.

"Wright, do you think the dueling club they run can really improve my fighting skills?" Neville looked conflicted.

"It doesn't hurt for us to go over and take a look. Anyway, we have Professor Snape here, so he can be of some use!" Wright was quite interested. After all, it was fun to watch people get humiliated.

The two walked towards the auditorium. On the way, Neville looked at the rooster statue in Wright's arms more than once, as if he wanted to say something but stopped himself.

"Are you curious about why I'm holding this thing?" Seeing Neville nodding continuously, Wright continued to explain:

"Legend has it that there is a monster called a basilisk. It can grow to over 50 feet tall, is extremely poisonous, and its eyes can instantly kill anyone or any animal that looks directly at it."

The melodious voice, speaking of horrible monsters, seemed even more eerie in the castle at nightfall, coupled with the rumors of the heir to the Chamber of Secrets that kept circulating.

Neville couldn't help swallowing, looking around, and said with a trembling voice: "You mean, it was a basilisk that attacked people?"

"No!" Wright denied with a smile.

Before Neville could relax, he added another blow: "Maybe it's worse. The basilisk is out of control. Only Parseltongue can communicate with it!"

"What do you mean?" Neville still looked puzzled.

"That is to say, this turmoil will continue." Wright did not answer directly, but started to act as a riddler.

Neville continued to ask several times, but did not get a positive response.

Neville's face wrinkled into a ball, and his sense of justice made him very conflicted.

"Then, don't you want to know the basilisk's weakness?" Wright looked at the conflicted Neville with a sly smile, like a weird uncle.

Neville's eyes lit up when he was reminded, and he asked hurriedly, "Does this basilisk have any weaknesses?"

"Rooster. The basilisk is afraid of the crowing of the rooster. Its crowing can drive the basilisk away."

"You can find some time to remind the students around you who are scared."

Neville kept nodding, then asked in confusion: "Why don't you go and inform them?"

"Because I want to capture the person who controls the basilisk, so I need a meat shield to help me attract firepower. It will be easier for me to capture him."

After the explanation, they arrived at the auditorium and Wright squeezed through the crowd and walked in.

Neville scratched his head and thought of Wright, who had never told himself why he was hugging a rooster statue.

At this time, the long table in the auditorium had disappeared, and a gilded stage extended along the wall. Countless candles floated in the air, completely illuminating the area around the stage.

There were many wizards in the hall, and almost all the students in the school came to watch. Each wizard held a wand and looked excited.

Neville squeezed next to Wright, looked at the gorgeous stage, and said excitedly: "I wonder who will guide our magic duel?"

The corners of Wright's mouth rose, breaking Neville's expectations directly: "Lockhart, only he would be so exaggerated."

Before Neville could ask any further questions, Lockhart walked onto the stage amid cheers.

At the same time, Teacher Si followed quietly.

The two men's attire was completely different. Lockhart was dressed like a colorful peacock, in contrast to Strom who was dressed in a black robe.

Looking at the positions of the two people, it was like the host was attending a dance with his entourage.

"Come here, come here! You all can see me, you all can hear me talking." Lockhart was enjoying the atmosphere of being the center of attention for the first time in a long time.

After enjoying the moment, Lockhart said in a loud voice as if giving a speech: "I argued with the principal and established this duel club."

"I will train you all so that if you need to defend yourself one day, you can use the skills I teach you to protect yourself."

After he finished speaking, Lockhart opened his hands, revealing his shining white teeth, and accepted the applause from the students with satisfaction.

After a long time, when the applause died down, Lockhart began to introduce Teacher Si who was idle on the side.

"This is my assistant, Professor Snape."

"He said he also knew something about dueling, so I invited him to give me a little demonstration."

As he spoke, he pulled Strychnitz onto the stage, and Lockhart continued in a joking tone:

"Once I have finished demonstrating with your dear Professor Snape, I will return it to you in perfect condition. Don't worry."

After saying that, he smiled heartily and winked at the onlookers with his right eye.

There was a sudden burst of deafening cheers and screams from the crowd.

Looking at the eyes of the teacher that were almost spitting fire and the corners of his mouth that were constantly twitching, Wright knew that something good was going to happen.

Amid the screams of the students, Lockhart gracefully took off his cloak, then threw it away gracefully, sparking another round of screams.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Stryker and Lockhart stood at opposite ends of the stage and began to salute each other according to the ancient dueling ritual.

Looking at this scene, Wright was a little confused. Wouldn't it be better to just launch a sneak attack?

Or, before the opponent comes to duel, you can just drive a big truck and hit him to death, then everything will be solved. Who would play duel?

After they finished their salute, they raised their wands to their chests.

Lockhart said excitedly: "After three seconds of countdown, we will send out the first magic! Of course, we will not use lethal magic."

“Three, two, one…!”

As soon as the words came out, the two of them raised their wands almost at the same time.

"Expelliarmus"

“Bang…Pah!”

Lockhart was hit by magic and flew off the stage, hit the wall, and fell to the ground with a thud.

But Master Strom was extremely calm. He caught Lockhart's flying wand and looked at Lockhart with an expressionless face as he climbed up in a panic.

Countless screams and cheers rang out among the students of Snake Academy, praising the religion.

Lockhart staggered to his feet and said with all his might, "You all saw it! This is a disarming spell."

He explained as he staggered onto the stage, continuing to brag about himself.

"Professor Snape showed everyone this trick. It's very effective."

"But the intention is too obvious. If I don't want to stop it, it would be very simple, but it will help them gain knowledge, so let them watch it."

As Lockhart spoke, he tried to take the wand back from the Slytherin, but found that the wand was held in the Slytherin's hand and he could not pull it out.
