"You said Lockhart took other people's deeds on his own?" Hermione asked in shock.

"Be quiet!" said Ron.

After dinner, the three of them hid in the corner of the common room and discussed in a low voice.

Ron rummaged through his bag and pulled out three pieces of parchment. "Look at it, Hermione."

The little witch immediately took over and immersed herself in reading.

After a long while, she raised her head and stammered: "How is it possible, such a thing! I mean, how did Lockhart do it and let others sell him the story?"

Harry said suddenly: "It didn't have to be sold to him, it could have been stolen by him."

Ron and Hermione stared blankly at him, there was too much hidden behind this speculation.

Fast forward to Thursday.

The auditorium was redecorated, and the central square gilded stage was crowded with little wizards.

When Felix and Snape appeared together and took center stage, the little wizards were in different moods, mixed with surprise and regret.

"Professor Snape?" Felix glanced at him on stage.

Snape shook his head expressionlessly, so Felix took a step and tapped himself with his wand, "Quiet, little wizards—"

"Our class starts right away."

Felix turned around in a circle, and wherever his gaze went, the crowd became quiet.

"Before we start, there are a few things that need to be said in advance."

Felix's eyes were calm, and his voice sounded in the ears of every little wizard, "First, Professor Lockhart, who was originally in charge of the duel course, generously entrusted the course to me because of his busy personal affairs. I am solely responsible;"

The little wizards whispered, "I don't think so." Dean Thomas said to Neville beside him, "If I say, Lockhart is even more confused in the new semester. He can even forget words in acting class."

"I think it's because he's been under too much pressure these days. I'm like that sometimes. When I'm nervous, my mind goes blank," Neville whispered.

"Speaking of which, I was very surprised that the Auror didn't suddenly rush in and take him away."

After a short pause, Felix continued: "Secondly, Professor Snape will serve as a guest professor and provide guidance and advice throughout our dueling course;"

The discussion under the stage grew louder.

"—As for the third, it is about the duel course itself. After discussing with Professor Snape, we agreed that the time and format of the course should be fixed. So in the future, our course will be held every two weeks, The time is set at 8 p.m. on Thursdays of the second and fourth weeks of each month.”

After the little wizards finished digesting the information, Felix waved his wand, and the ceiling of the auditorium became dark. At the same time, milky white light, like an upside down bowl, enveloped the stage and the figures of the little wizards.

Some noisy voices seemed to melt into the open field and became inaudible.

"Now, we are officially going to class."

Felix reached out and invited Snape.

In the solemn silence, Snape said in his characteristic flat tone: "Wizards' duels are a time-honored tradition, and over time, after removing some of the rules of blood and savagery, we Tame it in a cage and make duels a means of showing the wizard's own charm."

Many young wizards noticed that in this environment, Professor Snape's voice had a strange charm bonus.

Ron whispered, "I've long thought Snape had a talent for telling ghost stories."

"What did you say?" Hermione tilted her head. But then there was some unexpected discovery, his voice became hazy and low.

"It's magic," Harry said, but the other two could only see his mouth.

"—But the foundation of dueling is still there. There are many people who have spent their entire lives, and their understanding of dueling is just like a troll, wielding magic wands foolishly, competing for the strength of magic and the level of voice," said here, Snape's gaze fell on the little wizard of Gryffindor House, full of sarcasm.

"But the duel itself is a delicate art. If you are willing to spend even a little time, you will realize that the World Wizarding Duel Conference publishes relevant guide books every few years."

Snape gave a rare explanation of his views on dueling today. Although his words made the little wizards hear in a haze, they could feel Snape's respectful attitude towards dueling.

Halfway through speaking, Snape couldn't change the habit of secretly concluding a certain professor, saying: "Although Hogwarts doesn't have the same tradition of dueling and combat magic as Durmstrang, many related The content is already included in a course.”

Snape raised the wand in his hand slightly, his eyes fixed stiffly ahead, and a few words came out of his teeth, "Yeah, Defence Against the Dark Arts."

"But this course has never played its due role over the years, which makes some students do not even have the most basic risk judgment ability."

In a solemn and depressing atmosphere, many young wizards felt that they seemed to have returned to the potions class.

The professor has always had the ability to bring the surrounding atmosphere into his own control on his own.

Next, Felix clapped his hands and focused the attention of the little wizards on him.

"The content of today's class is the disarming spell. We have seen its effect in the first duel course, a very useful spell."

Felix counted some of the advantages of the Disarming Charm, "It is easy to learn, has significant effects, and is low in danger. Whether it is used in daily practice or in some formal duels, there is no problem."

"Has anyone mastered this magic?"

The sparse arms were raised, and most of them were senior wizards. "The ratio is much lower than I expected." Felix shook his head.

He called up a seventh-year Gryffindor.

"Professor Hepp, my name is Albert Balk." The pimple-faced student said excitedly, "I'm going to apply for the Auror at the Ministry of Magic, and I've been preparing for it for two years."

Felix understood it.

Under Felix's gesture, Balke waved his wand, "Remove your weapon!" A red magic spell cut through the air and used a standard disarming spell.

Next, Felix introduced the learning method of the disarming spell in detail, and used Balke as a "teaching aid" to let him try to use the spell repeatedly, and pointed out the key points.

Under his demonstration, many little wizards had the most basic understanding of this spell.

"Next-"

Felix waved his wand and flew hundreds of parchments from the suitcase in the corner, and they flew exactly in front of every little wizard.

Harry quickly picked up one, and looking at the dense introduction and spellcasting skills, his scalp burst.

He looked at the stage, and Professor Haipu said calmly: "I don't think you can learn a spell in just two hours. In fact, if there are ten successful examples, then I didn't expect it."

"The content on this parchment is for you to practice and refer to after class. I will explain how to use it later."

"Now, let's go to the formal practice."
