Hogwarts lazy snake

On the other hand, the opening time of the Dueling Club was officially confirmed, at 8:00 p.m. on Friday. This news was like a stone thrown into a calm lake, causing a wave of excitement among the students of Hogwarts.

On Thursday, Horn gave Hermione the horn of a bicorn and the skin of an African boomslang, which were one of the important ingredients of the Polyjuice Potion.

Hermione had originally planned to secretly go to Snape's office with Harry and the others to get it, but she didn't expect to get it so easily. She actually felt a little disappointed and felt that she had missed out on an exciting adventure.

Horn saw through Hermione's thoughts at a glance, and said jokingly with a smile: "Hermione, I don't think you are a good student who follows the rules."

On Friday, the entrance to the auditorium was blocked by a huge, ornate curtain with the word "Duel" prominently emblazoned on it.

Outside the curtain, the little wizards gathered together, talking in a buzz.

Seamus, wearing a pair of exaggerated sunglasses, asked curiously, "Do you think we can duel with that Slytherin monster after studying in the Dueling Club?"

Neville was much stronger than before, and he speculated with interest: "Maybe the monster will accept our duel."

After hearing what Neville said, some of the little wizards around couldn't help laughing, while others pondered his words thoughtfully.

At this time, Harry, Ron and Hermione came over wearing the same black-framed glasses.

Hearing everyone's discussion, Ron looked at Hermione and Harry in disbelief: "Did you hear that? That monster actually wants to duel with us? Oh my God!"

Hermione pushed up her glasses and rolled her eyes at Ron. "Do you think it's possible? Didn't you see that it can petrify people and make them unable to move?"

Harry retorted to Hermione thoughtfully: "Maybe it really is possible, after all..."

"Welcome everyone to the Hogwarts Dueling Club!"

At this moment, a loud voice rang out, interrupting everyone's discussion. At the same time, the curtain that had been covering the door slowly rolled up automatically as if it were under a spell, and the door slowly opened.

The little wizards looked inside curiously and were surprised to find that the long dining table had disappeared, replaced by a gorgeous gilded stage along one wall.

Above the stage, hundreds of candles floated in the air, and the soft candlelight made the entire auditorium look like a dream.

The ceiling turned velvety black again, like a mysterious night sky.

"What do you think Lockhart will teach us?"

"I don't know, maybe with Professor Flitwick."

"Why does Professor Flitwick have to teach us too?"

"You didn't know? Professor Flitwick is very powerful..."

Almost all the students of Hogwarts gathered here, and the moment the door opened, everyone chattered excitedly and walked into the hall impatiently.

Lockhart walked onto the stage gracefully in a purple robe.

And there was another person next to him, it was Snape, still wearing his iconic black robe, with a stern expression.

"Little wizards, come over here. And be quiet! Listen to me!"

Lockhart waved his hand with a smile on his face for everyone to be quiet. His voice echoed in the hall. The young wizards gradually quieted down and their eyes were all on the two people on the stage.

"The Dueling Club was established to prevent similar incidents from happening again, so I asked our Headmaster Dumbledore to hold this reopening of the Dueling Club."

At this point, Lockhart once again showed his glowing teeth that looked like special effects: "This way I can train you how to fight, so that you can use the methods I teach you to protect yourself."

"Of course, I hope you can read the books I published and combine them with the magic skills I taught you, so that you can better utilize the experience of dueling with many species in them and turn it into your own experience."

"Now, let me introduce my assistant, Professor Snape." Lockhart pointed at Snape and said, "Now I will give you a demonstration with your Professor Snape."

Ron looked at Snape and whispered to Hermione, "How do you think Lockhart convinced Snape to be his assistant?"

"I don't know, maybe it's because of Headmaster Dumbledore." Hermione pushed her glasses and looked at the two people facing each other on the stage.

Rohart on the stage twirled his wand in a fancy way and said to the little wizards below: "I will return your potion professor to you intact."

After that, he said to Snape: "Professor Snape, it's time to begin! Three, two, one!"

The moment he fell, Professor Snape immediately raised his wand and pointed it at Lockhart: "Expelliarmus!"

A red light shot out from the wand towards Lockhart!

Lockhart also reacted quickly and shouted "Armor Protect Me!", and a hazy barrier appeared in front of him, and Snape's magic also reached Lockhart and hit the barrier.

Ron in the audience looked at Snape's face and opened his mouth wide: "Snape feels that this is not a disarming spell but an unforgivable curse."

Hermione looked at Snape's impatient expression and said, "Yeah, I think so too."

Harry frowned and whispered, "Snape still seems so annoying. Maybe Horn was deceived by him!"

Hermione and Ron didn't know what to say when they saw that Harry could be linked to all this.

On the stage, although Lockhart blocked the attack, he looked a little embarrassed. He shouted dissatisfiedly: "Professor Snape, this is just a demonstration, you don't have to take it so seriously."

Snape sneered: "Hmph, Lockhart, if you can't even deal with this level of attack, how can you teach these students?" As he said, he waved his wand again, "Fall to the ground!" A dazzling light shot towards Lockhart.

Snape saw that he finally had the chance to teach this guy a lesson, and of course he was not willing to give up so easily.

Lockhart quickly dodged sideways, muttering, "There are so many obstacles!"

Obstacles suddenly appeared in front of him, but Snape's magic easily broke through those obstacles. Lockhart had to roll on the stage awkwardly to barely avoid the attack.

The young wizards in the audience were stunned. They didn't expect the demonstration to be so intense. Neville clenched his fist nervously, while Seamus shouted excitedly: "Wow, this is so cool!"

Hermione said worriedly: "If they keep fighting like this, what if they lose control?"

Ron shrugged. "Maybe they know their limits. They are professors after all. But it's still a little bit worse than Horn's drill."

"Stop!" Lockhart shouted immediately, then stood up somewhat embarrassedly and straightened his clothes.

When Snape saw that everyone was shouting to stop, he stopped attacking and put away his wand. He had just had a great time anyway.

"Ahem, you saw it, right? When you, Snape, released the magic, you had to protect yourself first, just like I did just now. The rest... ahem... were some more advanced continuous attack methods."

Lockhart said this and waved his wand, and several dueling platforms appeared on the side.

"Now, you will train according to the method Professor Snape and I just used. I will watch and guide you from the side. Of course, you can't just do a simple Disarming Charm and Protective Magic like Snape and I did. How about this?"

Rohart noticed Harry in the audience and waved at him: "Let Harry come up and show you a demonstration first."

When Harry heard someone calling him, he didn't want to go up at first, but with so many people watching, he had no choice but to go up.

"There's still one missing. Who of you is willing to come up?" Lockhart patted Harry's shoulder.

"I come!"

Before Lockhart could finish his words, a voice rang out among the crowd.
