Hogwarts Kryptonian

Lu Yunkai returned to Hogwarts Castle from Hagrid's cabin and dove into the library.

After basically confirming that the notebook was causing trouble, Lu Yunkai believed that it wouldn't be long before Ginny came to her senses and threw away the notebook out of fear.

This is the confidence of "Weasley" and "Gryffindor".

But before that, he must find a way to deal with the disaster.

Potions are naturally an option. In addition to the explosive corrosive potion, Lu Yunkai planned to pick up the matter of refining potions every night. Among the potions that were in the handbook that Daphne gave him, but had no effect or name, the raw materials seemed to be very powerful. Make some medicine and give it a try.

On the other hand, he also had to be prepared for two things: in case the potion he was good at failed, he would have to rely on magic itself.

Hermione had basically checked out all the books in the library that could be read normally in order to help Lu Yunkai solve the curse.

Just like the book "Curse and Counter-Curse", Lu Yunkai didn't expect to use those methods to deal with Voldemort's soul, which couldn't even be solved by Dumbledore's ordinary gag curse.

He felt that if there was any solution in the library, it would probably be in the restricted area.

Lu Yunkai didn't have any ability to sneak into the forbidden book area to check out books while Mrs. Pingsi was not paying attention. Even if he could buy it directly from the system, he still had to know what book to buy, otherwise the search system in the system was so bad that even if he looked for the book, he would be able to find it and graduate from Hogwarts!

For him, the Restricted Book Zone is now equivalent to a Hogwarts certified book list, certified books that are dangerous but also valuable.

It's just that Mrs. Pingsi refused to provide Lu Yunkai with such a book list.

"What do you know about these? And it's impossible for me to tell you anything about the restricted area without the professor's permission."

Mrs. Pingsi's answer made Lu Yunkai understand that this matter cannot be bypassed by the professors in the school. Seeing that the restricted book section was out of reach, Lu Yunkai thought of a person.

Maybe this person might be able to issue him this certificate...

Lockhart.

There happened to be a Defense Against the Dark Arts class in the afternoon.

When Lu Yunkai walked out of the library, he thought about how to flatter this idiot and let him give him a certificate.

But pinning your hopes on other people's stupidity is always unreliable, and all kinds of accidents will happen.

…

The location of the afternoon Defense Against the Dark Arts class was a little different from usual.

Even the people in class were not just Lockhart, a guy who had already been labeled a fool by Lu Yunkai.

Snape with a dead face also appeared in the clean Hogwarts auditorium. The tables and stools usually placed in the auditorium were gone, replaced by a long platform about half a meter high.

Seeing Snape, Lu Yunkai stopped trying to flatter Lockhart in class, and then lied to him that he hated banned books, so he had to know what things in the books he couldn't read... I guess this was only possible. It's possible that Lockhart was deceived.

Next time!

"Some things happened in the school recently. I suggested to Professor Dumbledore that I be allowed to open a duel club... Of course, you don't have to worry about encountering danger in the school. In fact, it is always the safest place where I am. "

Lockhart, who was standing on the high platform, still had his signature smile on his face.

Lu Yunkai, who was standing in the crowd, couldn't help but want to give him a look.

"I just feel that I need to teach you some etiquette for using spells among wizards." Lockhart continued, "So today I invited Professor Snape..."

He said, pointing to Snape in the crowd.

There was no emotion on Snape's face.

In fact, everyone including Lu Yunkai and all Slytherins knew that Snape wanted to teach Defense Against Dark Arts more than Potions...

"Now, I invite Professor Snape to come up to the stage and demonstrate to me the etiquette of wizard duels."

Lockhart made a gesture of invitation.

Snape stepped onto the stage with a world-weary face.

"Duels between wizards have strict etiquette, so please remember not to appear rude or destroy duel etiquette. In this way, the result of the duel between you may become illegal." Luo Hart babbled, "First, take out your wand and hold it up in front of your face. Of course, bowing is also acceptable."

After the words fell, Lockhart bowed to Snape in what he thought was the most chic posture.

Snape coldly took out his wand and raised it in front of his face.

In Lu Yunkai's opinion, Snape's demonstration was more vivid and memorable than Lockhart's: even if you are impatient and want to kill the idiot standing opposite you, you still have to salute.

"Then, walk to both ends of the duel field and start the duel again." Lockhart shook his cloak handsomely, turned around and walked towards the end of the high platform behind him.

Snape didn't.

"Professor Snape..." Lockhart was a little unhappy with Snape's reaction, but he still held back and continued: "There are two ways of dueling, taking turns and attacking at the same time. Which one do you choose?"

"I don't think it's better for the two of us to do the demonstration. No matter who wins or loses, it will be a bit... embarrassing." Snape said to Lockhart with something in his words.

Lockhart was stunned, and the smile on his face froze.

Then, he laughed again.

"You are right. Well... let Harry and Ron demonstrate it!"

Lockhart directly named the two of them.

Since the beginning of the term, Harry had always been the one receiving attention and care in Lockhart's class. In fact, Lu Yunkai was also curious. Does Lockhart treat Harry so well because he thinks celebrities want to deal with celebrities, or does he want to take advantage of Harry's fame...

Although he felt it was the latter, he also understood that Lockhart's personality was probably the former.

"It's too dangerous for Weasley to use spells. If he hurts Harry, he will have to be sent to the infirmary. As far as I know, he has just been discharged from the hospital." Snape said angrily that Harry was in Quidditch. Qibi's past injury in the game, "I recommend... Lu Yunkai."

After saying that, Snape suddenly turned around like a bat, came to the end of the duel stage, and made a gesture to Lu Yunkai, who was standing in the crowd, asking him to come up.

Lu Yunkai... was stupid.

No, you can just let Ron and Harry practice. Why do you want me to go up there? But even if you defeat Harry, there's nothing you can do to gain face!

Lu Yunkai complained crazily in his heart, but his body was still honest and obedient and climbed onto the duel platform.

However.

"Professor, can you give me a chance to compete with Lu Yunkai?"

A clear female voice broke the silence in the auditorium due to Snape's proposal.

Everyone looked over and nodded secretly.

Because that person is Hermione...

Although there is no exam, it is difficult for the second-year students of Hogwarts to agree on who is the best among their classmates, but if the list of the best is expanded to two people, there will be no difference of opinion. Unified.

"Oh? Miss Granger, do you want to come on stage to give some advice to Lu Yunkai?" Snape raised his brows slightly and glanced at Lu Yunkai, who was a little bit dumbfounded.

"I've always wanted to compete head-on with Lu Yunkai, and this is a great occasion!" Hermione climbed onto the duel stage.

Lu Yunkai naturally understood that when Hermione stood up at this time, it was not her own intention to stand out. She did not want to disgrace Harry in this place, so as not to affect the friendship between the two.

Although he had good intentions, the problem was that compared to Harry, Lu Yunkai was not sure of defeating Hermione.

Harry will feel embarrassed and unhappy if he loses, but can I just ignore it if I lose?

No, this battle must be won.

"Can I drink the potion?" Lu Yunkai looked at Snape and asked.

"It is forbidden to use any magic potions and magic equipment in a duel." Professor Lockhart, who was standing in the distance, saw that the situation was a little out of control, and quickly stood up to show that he was the one in control here, "Although Yun Kai, your magic You are very accomplished in medicine, but I’m sorry, but that won’t help you on the duel stage.”

"Fine."

Although Lu Yunkai felt that this was actually not reasonable at all, he could only agree.

Magic potions are unreliable, so you have to rely on experience. After all, he was someone who had defeated Death Eaters.

Lu Yunkai sighed softly, and then, amid the dissatisfied voices of the Slytherins, he took out his wand and came to the center of the duel stage.

Hermione also came to Lu Yunkai with her wand.

The two looked at each other.

They all had a tacit understanding of placing their wands directly in front of their faces instead of bowing.

"Since this is a demonstration, let's duel you all at the same time." Lockhart smelled a bit of gunpowder between the two and said quickly: "Remember, you can only use disarming spells. I don't want it to happen." Someone got hurt in my class."

"Are you just going to use the disarming spell?" Lu Yunkai asked, staring at Hermione.

"And you?"

"of course not."

"Then do you think I can?" Hermione smiled.

The two of them turned around at the same time, took a few steps back, then turned back and looked at each other.

"Listen to my command, and after counting to three, attack at the same time." Although Lockhart obviously couldn't control the situation, he still tried very hard, "One, two, three!"

As the three words came out, Lu Yunkai and Hermione raised their wands at the same time and cast spells.

"Collapse!"

"All petrified!"

No one used the disarming spell, because they had just learned this spell not long ago, and they were not very familiar with it.

Snape, who was standing behind Lu Yunkai, reacted quickly. He quickly pulled out his wand, recited a spell, and activated the protective shield on the duel stage.

Sure enough, after the two people's spells flew out, they collided violently.

There was a bang.

Then both of them were pushed back a few steps.

Lu Yunkai, who had experience, knew the importance of speed at this time, so Lu Yunkai didn't even think about waiting for himself to stand firmly before making a move. After the first spell, Lu Yunkai's second disarming spell had already flown out first. .

"Expelliarmus!"

It was obviously the first time for Hermione to face an enemy head-on. Although she had read a lot about how to fight with people in books before, she could not help but panic when the situation came to an end. Seeing Lu Yunkai's spells flying towards her, For a moment, she could only deal with it in a panic, and cast a disarming spell.

But it's still too late.

The spell hit Hermione, who was still standing, and sent her flying backwards.

The wand in her hand spun several times in the air and fell into the hand of Lu Yunkai opposite her.

The second-year students who were watching were still excited about the head-to-head confrontation between the two contenders for the top spot in their grade. Some of them had not even had time to react to the loud sound of the two magical collisions. In a flash of reaction, the duel was over.

The winner is clear.

However.

"Five points from Slytherin."

Snape spoke coldly, which immediately silenced the Slytherin students who had not had time to get excited and celebrate.

…

As for other rules of dueling, they will be mentioned in the next chapter. Let’s take a precaution first.

Except for the duel between Harry and Malfoy in class, the original novel was more like a playful duel for children. In fact, only the bow when Voldemort tortured Harry in Goblet of Fire left a little impression on me. Therefore, I made a little interpretation of the rules of duel outside of the original work.

I made the settings based on the duel mode of knights on horseback and holding guns against each other. I gave the duel some legal meaning, and naturally it must be absolutely fair. The emphasis is on fairness, which restricts a lot of play, so it may seem a bit overkill.

But just like the original novel, once the second year is over, duels will no longer be mentioned, so this rule is regarded as because I hate Lockhart and hate him for doing it. The Duel Club was something no one mentioned at all after that!
