Raven's Claw at Hogwarts

Mike chatted with Professor Flitwick until the evening. The two hadn't had such a pleasant chat for a long time since Mike left Professor Flitwick's home.

Flitwick was obviously in a good mood and even invited Mike to have dinner with him in the office at dinner time. Mike, who had been curious about the Hogwarts teachers' breakfast for a long time, agreed without hesitation.

When the house elf brought pieces of exquisite food to Professor Flitwick's office, Mike was deeply grateful for his decision. Beef Wellington, bacon and cream of mushroom soup..., each piece of delicious food made Mike almost kill himself. His tongue also swallowed it into his stomach.

After the meal, Mike patted his belly and continued chatting with Professor Flitwick for a while, then the two of them headed to the auditorium together.

The auditorium at this time has changed drastically compared to noon. The long tables of the four major colleges in the auditorium have disappeared, replaced by a huge stage in the center of the auditorium. Countless candles were suspended above the stage, and together with the starlight on the ceiling, the entire stage was illuminated brightly.

The auditorium was crowded, and every little wizard had an excited smile on his face. But strangely, they didn't seem interested in the stage in the center of the auditorium. Instead, they all gathered in a corner of the auditorium.

Mike stood on tiptoes and took a closer look. A huge magic banner was flying in the center of the crowd, with several large words written on it: Duel Club Registration Office.

As a Ravenclaw seed player, Mike had already been recommended to the quarterfinals. Naturally, he didn't have to squeeze into the crowd to sign up at this time, but this did not prevent him from watching the excitement.

Taking a closer look, several staff members wearing orange armbands on their shoulders in the center of the crowd were sweating profusely registering the long queue of little wizards in front of them. Franklin and Penelope were also among the crowd, and their positions were They are still quite far ahead, and it will be their turn to register soon.

Finally it was their turn, and when they excitedly handed over the application forms and Silversicles that they had filled out long ago, they were surprised to find that the staff member who registered them was actually Hermione.

Hermione was so busy that her face darkened when she saw Franklin and Penello. Fortunately, Hermione was not the kind of person who abused her power. She still followed the rules and took away their application forms and Silver Silk and gave them to them. Each person has an armband with their name on it.

At this time, intense music came from the center of the auditorium, and everyone's attention was instantly attracted.

"Welcome to the Duel Club's first practical teaching session!" Lockhart stood in the center of the stage wearing a gorgeous purple robe and said, "Next, Professor Flitwick and I will bring you a A real wizard duel!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the students gathered at the registration desk exclaimed and rushed to the stage quickly. Everyone wanted to find a good viewing position. The registration desk was suddenly empty. Hermione and other staff members wiped their heads. The sweat on my face made me take a deep breath.

Compared with Lockhart's slutty appearance, Professor Flitwick's appearance is much duller.

Professor Flitwick was still wearing the robe he wore when he had dinner with Mike. He waved his wand lightly and did not see him reciting a spell. A big stone hand stretched out from the stone floor in the auditorium to hold him up. Placed gently on the stage.

What surprised Mike was that Lockhart did not talk a lot of pretentious nonsense like in the original book. Seeing that both parties had finished their stage, Lockhart made a pose amidst the cheers of the crowd in the audience. The pose, which he thought was very handsome, announced that the duel had officially begun.

Lockhart and Flitwick came together, bowed to each other, and then pulled away again.

Professor Flitwick's short body was very funny when he bowed, but none of the little wizards at the scene dared to laugh, because they knew that the short figure on the stage was a once well-known duel champion. His petite body hides a terrifying power.

Under everyone's nervous gaze, Lockhart and Flitwick raised their wands in front of them like swords. Then a huge number emitting white light appeared above the stage: 3.

3, 2, 1, "Bang!"

The number 1 in mid-air exploded with a loud noise. At the same time, the two people on the stage also moved. Professor Flitwick was seen waving his wand slowly in the air, drawing a standard disarming spell release sigil, and chanting the spell word by word in his mouth. .

Lockhart on the other side also made similar movements, except that he released armor protection.

Mike could tell that Professor Flitwick was letting things slip on purpose. With the hand he used to cast spells silently when he came on stage, how could it be possible to cast a disarming spell now without reciting a spell and drawing a standard sigil, let alone moving so slowly? .

You must know that Mike had many practical trainings with Professor Flitwick during the summer vacation. Professor Flitwick was like a magic machine gun. He did not chant spells or wave a wand. All kinds of magic spells were Will burst out of that wand.

As Flitwick completed his release, a dull red light was emitted.

Facing Professor Flitwick's disarming spell, Lockhart didn't react at all, and the disarming spell was imprinted on his chest instantly. Lockhart had a confident smile on his face. He had already discussed it with Professor Flitwick, so the disarming spell used by Flitwick would not be very powerful.

What's more, he himself has already used armor to protect himself, and he believes that he will be safe and sound under the protection of the protection spell.

However, the moment the red light exploded, Lockhart's confident smile froze on his face.

"Crash..."

There was a sound similar to glass being broken, and the transparent protective shield on Lockhart instantly shattered. The impact of the collision between the disarming curse and the armor's protection fully acted on Lockhart's chest, knocking his entire body. It flew away.

There was a burst of exclamation from the audience, and Professor Flitwick was also stunned. He never expected that Lockhart's armor protection would be so weak, and could not even block his water blow.

"I...ahem, I'm fine." Lockhart got up from the ground in embarrassment and said, "Professor Flitwick is indeed a duel champion, his strength is so terrifying!"

Slowly standing up, Lockhart pressed his chest to rest for a while before continuing: "You also saw that Professor Flitwick just used a disarming spell. As the name suggests, this is a disarming spell that can make the opponent lose his weapon. The curse. And the method to deal with it is very simple, just use an armor to protect yourself."

Most of the junior wizards in the audience looked at Flitwick and Lockhart with admiration, while the senior students all showed contempt, as they could not understand what had just happened.

"It's still early, let us members of the Duel Club practice in the next time." Lockhart coughed twice awkwardly, and at the same time cast a pleading look at Professor Flitwick.

Lockhart couldn't hold on any longer. If Flitwick insisted on continuing, he would be embarrassed at his grandmother's house this time.
