[HP] Walk in Thorns and Flowers

"Dear students, I will open a dueling club in the restaurant at [-] o'clock in the evening the day after tomorrow." He stood on the podium and said energetically.

The classroom was silent for five seconds, and then burst into warm cheers and applause—everyone wanted to learn a little self-defense, no matter whether it could block the attack of the monster in the secret room.

Christo originally thought that Lockhart would ask her to act as an assistant, but until that day, Lockhart did not move at all.At eight o'clock in the evening, she went to the dining room with Hermione and Harry Ron. The long dining table was replaced by a large gilded stage, and the candles in the entire hall were now surrounded by the stage, brightly lit.

All the students in the school crowded in front of the stage. The Weasley twins somehow got the long neck potion. Their necks are now as long as an arm. Everyone who saw them couldn't help laughing out loud. Complacent, even if they can't squeeze to the front, they can see clearly.

"Wonder if Professor Flitwick will come - I've been told he's a dueling champion when he's young," said Hermione as they edged their way into the crowd.Christo silently recalled Lockhart's grades in the Charms class on his report card, and felt that it was very unrealistic.Suddenly, Ron screamed, "How could this be—" Their attention was immediately turned to the stage.

Lockhart had appeared, and beside him stood the last person Harry and Ron wanted to see—Professor Snape.A very strong thought came to Christo's mind - Gilderoy was simply seeking his own death.When she was thinking about how to deal with the aftermath, Hermione suddenly said, "It's started."

Lockhart raised his hand to beckon everyone to keep quiet, his blond hair shone dazzlingly under the candlelight. "Come here, come here, it's like this, Professor Dumbledore allowed me to start this small club, in order to fully train everyone, in case you don't know how to protect yourself when you are in danger-of course, I Every book is an excellent textbook." He blinked and showed his trademark bright smile, "But, now, Professor Snape and I will show you a thing or two."

He turned to face the other party, and bowed very flamboyantly. His handsome appearance caused the girls in the audience to shout, and Professor Snape just nodded impatiently.Christo guessed that he was probably dragged here by the principal with a white beard, and it was obvious that he was very reluctant.

"I'm really worried about Professor Lockhart." Ron muttered, "Professor Snape's eyes are too scary, he must be serious." Hermione retorted disapprovingly: "Professor Lockhart is not He has a lot of strength to drive away female ghosts with a smile." After listening to their conversation, Christo didn't know what to say, but she was really not sure what strength Jidero had now.

"When I count to three, I will cast the first spell. Of course, the premise is not to kill the other party." Both Lockhart and Snape raised their wands to their chests, and the students held their breath. "one two three--"

"Except your weapons!"

"Armor protection!"

A ray of light burst out from the tip of Professor Snape's wand. Professor Lockhart just blinked his eyes without moving. The students opened their mouths wide. The light was faster than an arrow, and it was in front of their Defense Against the Dark Arts professor in a blink of an eye. , suddenly went out.

"It's really great!" I don't know who cheered, and several students applauded, and the hall was very lively.Chris breathed a sigh of relief. She was not worried that Lockhart would not know the Iron Armor Curse, but that his Iron Armor Curse could not completely counteract Professor Snape's attack. Lockhart gave two thumbs up.

She soon regretted it.

Lockhart yelled proudly: "Quiet—quiet—" He waited until the commotion of the crowd completely calmed down, and then he said in a triumphant voice, "The Iron Armor Charm is very practical, it can resist almost any attack Spells. Even! If you are strong enough, it can also bounce spells—of course, in order to better show everyone its simplest and most practical effect, and also for the normal progress of our potions class tomorrow, I will not Didn't do that..."

"You should do this! Better to keep Snape lying in the medical room for a week!" Ron muttered dissatisfiedly.Christo hurriedly looked towards Professor Snape, sure enough, there was faint anger in those deep black eyes.She desperately winked at Lockhart, but Lockhart was too busy showing off his strength, so he didn't notice Christo's reminder at all.He will suffer one day, such a thought suddenly flashed in her mind, she couldn't listen anymore, and asked loudly: "Professor, when can we practice—"

One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and the students who were eager to fight joined in one after another. "Okay, let's start right away—" Lockhart changed the subject, "Now, Professor Snape and I will divide you into two groups..."

They walked off the stage to match everyone.Crystal's opponent was a senior Hufflepuff boy, and as he was considering what spell to use, the other party said, "Hey, Miss McMillan, can we stop dueling— Cedric and I share a dormitory, I don't want to be told by him..." Before he finished speaking, a ray of light suddenly flew towards them in the crowd, and without thinking about it, Christo immediately covered herself with armor , as a result, the spell was bounced off, and there was a scream from the crowd.

The Hufflepuff boys sighed.Christo said seriously: "I don't think I will suffer."

"Okay—then let's begin—" He had just raised his wand when someone slammed him. "Sorry, sorry—" Harry's guilty voice came, but he didn't stop, his feet dancing uncontrollably, knocking down more people.Christo wanted to catch up and cast him a stop spell, but Harry's feet moved too fast, and he had already slipped into another crowd.The scene was very chaotic, Malfoy was holding his stomach and laughing indistinctly, Hermione was wrestling with her opponent, Ron's broken wand released a cloud of green smoke that enveloped the crowd...

"Stop, stop—" Lockhart yelled with a headache. He had already cast five Hemostatic Charms in a row. "I think you'd better learn how to deal with unfriendly magic now—" He added A student's robe put out the fire before he suggested, "Anyone volunteer to go up—Kerry, how are you and Malfoy?"

The two people who were named were taken aback.

"No!" Professor Snape said very resolutely. He didn't know if Lucius had taught Draco the black arts in private, but Christophe had. It appeared in front of the crowd... He walked quickly through the crowd, pulled Malfoy out, and said very bluntly, "Malfoy and Potter, how are you?"

"It couldn't be better—come on, Harry, come on." The crowd dispersed automatically, leaving the center of the auditorium empty. Harry and Malfoy stood opposite each other. Lockhart lowered his voice and instructed Harry, and then Pushed Harry out.

"Three-two-one-, let's go!"

Malfoy quickly raised his wand and roared, "Oolong out of the hole." With a snap, a puff of smoke billowed in the air, and a long black snake as thick as an arm fell heavily to the floor. It raised its snake head abruptly, spitting out a scarlet letter, ready to go.The crowd screamed and quickly backed away.Christo, who was originally standing in the crowd, immediately stood at the front.

In the middle of the restaurant, Lockhart's first reaction was to look at Kelly. Ernie squeezed out of the crowd, pulled his sister to his side, and quickly chanted a spell in an attempt to kill the long snake, but he failed. The long snake was hit in the eye, and it was so angry that it twisted its body and swam towards this side quickly.

For a moment, everyone felt dazzled——

A red light burst from Professor Lockhart's wand.

Chris was much faster, and no one could see how many spells she had cast. She tensed her face, and the rays of light hit the snake's body, and the fierce flames suddenly shot up, turning the faces of the people around them red.

The entire hall was eerily quiet, except for the sharp crackling sound of the flames burning the wooden planks.Professor Snape cleaned up the pile of flames with a straight face.Lockhart had already stood beside Kristall, squatting down, looking at her nervously, Kristall shook his head lightly: "It's okay." Lockhart then stood up and said, "That's all for today. , everyone go back first."

As soon as he finished speaking, Neville, who was closest to Harry, fell to the ground with a plop and passed out. Justin, who was next to Neville, was furious and terrified.Harry took a step forward in confusion, and Justin immediately took a step back, and he shouted, "What did you just say—"

"It's the snake language—it's the snake language—" someone said in a daze.

The crowd that had dispersed stopped in their tracks.

Christo looked at Lockhart puzzled, "What do you mean?"

Lockhart said very seriously: "Kerry, stay away from Harry from now on, he can speak the language of snakes, he has a Parseltongue." Christo was still puzzled and looked at him with wide eyes.Ernie lowered his voice and said, "Talking to snakes is Salazar Slytherin's skill."

Slytherin - Harry - Chamber of Secrets - Heir!Christo's eyes widened in disbelief: "How could it be Harry?"

Lockhart rubbed her head and sighed: "Whether it is or not, you are not allowed to get too close to Harry recently."
