Harry Potter: The Grand Arcanist

All kinds of news in Hogwarts always spread quickly. The young wizards were informed by their respective deans that they were not allowed to go to the girls' bathroom on the second floor.

This matter still arouses the curiosity of many students. There are always some bold and fearless guys who will sneak over there when everyone is not paying attention.

As you can imagine, these guys were caught by the patrolling ghosts or portraits, and then were deducted points and detained by their dean.

Everyone also knew that there was something strange about that place, and some people speculated that the secret room might be hidden there, so the professors were on tight guard for fear of someone breaking in.

However, the more prohibited it is, the easier it is to arouse everyone's curiosity.

However, the professors were very harsh in deducting points and imposing solitary confinement, so no one wanted to get into trouble.

The students who were caught took mops and cleaned the corridors with Filch. They were completely embarrassed, but no one wanted to end up like this.

In order to divert everyone's attention, Lockhart proposed to Dumbledore to start a dueling club.

Although Dumbledore also knew that this was Lockhart's attempt to attract everyone's attention, he still agreed. Due to the relationship between the secret room, the atmosphere in the school was indeed not good.

So... a few days before the winter vacation, the Ravenclaw students were in the lounge, and everyone saw the news that the school was about to hold a fighting club.

Having said that, Lockhart originally wanted to find Paz as his assistant, but Paz simply rejected him.

However, Paz still gave Lockhart some advice and asked Snape to replace him as Lockhart's assistant.

Lockhart really listened to Paz's advice and told the Potions Master about it, and Snape's face turned as black as the bottom of a pot.

Surprisingly, Snape agreed to Lockhart's request.

On the night when the decision club was held, the little wizards hurried back to the auditorium

"Do you know who taught us dueling techniques? Marietta asked curiously, holding Cho Chang's arm.

"Someone told me that Professor Flitwick was a dueling champion when he was young. Maybe he will teach us. Qiu Zhang thought for a while and said

"It's Lockhart!"Paz said

"You are joking?"After Marcos made sure that Paz was not joking, he raised his hands and covered his face with an expression of disbelief.

"I don’t know why, but I have a bad feeling. Qiu Zhang said uneasily:"This duel club will probably become a laughing point in the school.""

Every Ravenclaw student is well aware of Lockhart's abilities.

In the Great Hall, all the long dining tables disappeared, and a gilded stage appeared on one wall, illuminated by hundreds of candles floating in the sky..

The ceiling became like velvet again, and almost all the students from the school were here, crowded together, everyone holding their own wands, and wearing a purple robe with excitement on their faces. , he looked radiant, with Snape beside him, the potion still wearing his usual black robes.

The atmosphere around him suddenly became weird, everyone looked at the pair, as if they were expecting something interesting. occur

"……To fully train you in case you ever need to defend yourself, protect yourselves in the same way I have done countless times. Lockhart started talking nonsense. He grinned widely and introduced his assistants:"Let me introduce my assistant, Professor Snape."

Lockhart was very satisfied with everyone's reaction. He continued:"Professor Snape 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. Lockhart winked at everyone and said:"I will return your Potions Master intact to you, don't be afraid."

However, everyone could see that Snape's expression was very impatient, and at the same time He was very shocked by what Lockhart said, and wondered in his heart, did he not know Snape's ability?

Many students who hated Lockhart stood aside, gloating and watching the fun. After Lockhart said a lot of nonsense, the duel began. They walked a few steps back to back like gunmen, then turned to face each other and bowed.

At least, Lockhart bowed with both hands. There were many tricks, and Snape just curled his lips impatiently.

They held their wands in front of their chests like arrows.

"As you can see, we hold our wands in our normal dueling posture," Lockhart told the silent crowd."On the count of three, we cast our first spell."

"one two three——"

They both jerked their wands over their shoulders at the same time.

Snape's movements were obviously faster, and he shouted:"Expelliarmus".

Suddenly a dazzling red light flashed, and Lockhart was struck unsteadily.

He flew backwards off the stage, crashed into the wall, then slid off and curled up on the floor.

This scene shocked all the students. They didn't expect Lockhart to be so useless.

The applause suddenly reminded me that this was probably the first time boys from other houses applauded Snape.

"I knew it would be like this."Paz looked at this scene very speechlessly. A duel is not like this, at least the duel in his memory is not like this.

At least you should use magic, and you can't be cool like this and be beaten to shit by others. Come on.

If there was a real duel, he would probably be killed instantly.

Lockhart got up from the ground in a panic, his hat fell off, and his wavy hair stood on end. He looked at Snape and then at the applauding students. Returning to the stage, he said with a smile on his face:"Okay, everyone has seen it. This is a disarming spell, a very practical magic."

"……As you can see, I lost my wand." Lockhart raised his hands and shook them like magic and said:"If I want to stop it, I don't have to try hard. In order to increase everyone's knowledge, I don't mind making sacrifices."

Snape narrowed his eyes and stared at Lockhart, obviously disagreeing with Lockhart's statement.

Lockhart probably noticed it, and said quickly:"This is the end of the demonstration. I think we should let everyone try a duel first, and then Make corrections again."

As he said, he selected a few people and asked them to duel with the people chosen by Snape.

However, in fact, as they imagined, the situation was a mess."

Putting the Slytherin students and the Gryffindor students The result was that both sides unceremoniously took the opportunity to cause trouble for each other, and it looked like a children's fight. _Feilu reminds you: three things about reading - collection and recommendation
