Harry Potter: The Dragon That Sleeps

The Duel Club has existed in Hogwarts for a long time, which is reflected in the book "Hogwarts: A School History".

The reason why the Duel Club eventually disappeared was because of the extremely violent and boycotting trend among the parents of the students.

From the students' point of view, this way of thinking is overly conservative. For the sake of so-called safety, they prevent students from accessing the power contained in magic. But this is meaningless. No matter how they whitewash the world, it becomes

No fairy tale.

On the contrary, turning from talking about violence to avoiding it will miss the best time to guide students to understand violence.

It's like...just like those games that Jodi played in his previous life. Being chased and intercepted, killing him with a single blow is always simple and direct, but what was cut off and killed along with the mole was his vitality.

Of course there will be pressure to reopen the Duel Club, but fortunately Dumbledore no longer cares about the pressure anymore.

Jody couldn't tell why the Duel Club in the Book of Prophecy was only held once. It probably wasn't simply because Lockhart was too stupid to save up for a second event.

Perhaps Dumbledore will receive more complaints from parents after today?

No, it would be better to say that no matter what the plot of the Book of Prophecy is like, in reality the duel that Draco is about to participate in will definitely attract a lot of complaints.

This will be an extremely fierce duel.

…

The snow dyed the ground white, and the icy wind made the huge castle icy cold.

Hogwarts is a very majestic castle. It is magnificent, but it also has one flaw that no matter how many people there are, it cannot fill it up.

The emptiness indulges the cold, and the cold air makes people long for more events with enough heat.

It makes people need more courage to fight against nature, or it may induce a little pessimism and ferment into awe.

From the Quidditch game to now, there is plenty of time. Not only can the two people invited to the duel fully recharge themselves, but it also gives the students a good opportunity to spread rumors.

The kid chewing lava candies passed by the terrace with steaming heads. On the edge of the terrace, Jody tilted his head to look at the Forbidden Forest in the distance that was dyed white with snow, and then stretched out his hand to catch the snowflakes.

"...How about it, bet or not?" Ogli has not given up yet.

Jodi was too lazy to pay attention to his whimsical thoughts, "What's the point of betting? The person who strikes out the Holy Spirit's protection first must be Draco."

"Ha! That's why the gamble is worth it. Harry will attack first enough to awaken the Holy Spirit, I guarantee it!"

Jody was a little annoyed, "Did you listen to what I just analyzed? No matter how much Harry's character is like, he will hold back. Draco is different. He thinks he has a good father to protect him, so he dares to do it.

.”

"No, he is a dirty little nobleman. Nobles have a set of calculations when considering interests. But Harry is different. He has the aura of being a bachelor. I can feel it."

"Because you also have the aura of being a bachelor?" Jodi suddenly began to feel that this bet was necessary.

……………………

At eight o'clock in the evening, the venue is in the auditorium.

The long dining table disappeared, and a glittering golden stage appeared along one wall, illuminated by hundreds of candles floating in the sky.

The ceiling became as dark as velvet, and it seemed that most of the school was here, squeezing together. They all had excited faces and carried wands.

Lockhart waved for silence, then shouted, "Come around, come around! Can everyone see me?"

Jody was so afraid that his next sentence would be, 'The audience here, come and cheer with me...' or something like that.

This guy was wearing a purple-red robe today, and he looked so dazzling.

But to be honest, this costume is very similar to the suit in the superhero series, and it is the most flashy type.

Mr. Snape had to leave school because of what happened last semester, and his life and death are now uncertain. The Ministry of Magic's wanted reward for his arrest has always been the highest level. In the black market, dark magic forces are involved, and a large number of people are inquiring about his whereabouts.

Therefore, the only person who will preside over this duel event today along with Lockhart is the new Professor Dorak.

"Let me introduce my assistant, Professor Dorak!" said Lockhart, with a wide smile showing his gleaming teeth... He may have cast some sort of enchantment on those teeth.

"Professor Dorak told me that he knows a lot about fighting, and promised to provide some temporary help before we start. Now, I don't want you young people to worry! I will hold back - don't worry!"

Dorak seemed to be trying his best to imitate Lockhart's smile. Of course, he couldn't twist his face out of that look. Lockhart was professionally trained.

However, judging from his kind expression, he must be very satisfied with the reward and has made up his mind to cooperate with Lockhart's play house.

"Logically speaking, for beginner wizards, the first thing they should learn is the 'Disarming Curse'. I paid close attention to it two days ago and asked the first-year guys to learn this spell carefully. I think everyone still remembers it.

Right?" Lockhart said in a warm-up manner to arouse everyone's interest, "I believe that everyone who has taken the class has definitely understood how to release this spell and is able to use it. Yes, it is not difficult at all!"

Jody noticed the inconsistent magic fluctuations. He turned his head and looked over. A pointed-eared creature hurried by noticed his gaze. The latter glanced at him in astonishment, then bowed and stepped back with a polite smile.

The mimetic state becomes difficult to see clearly.

Is that a goblin?

Why is there a group of goblins here? If you observe carefully, you will find that this group of guys who have applied the invisibility circle and have the same color as the environment are busy around.

Is this Lockhart's doing?

"So...since our outstanding students don't have to look at the cover-up of those simple spells anymore, we may be able to bring you some special and different performances! Professor Dorak!"

I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but the word ‘performance’ seems to be emphasized when I say it.

Are you reminding Dorak to stay away and forget the promise?

Claire grabbed Jodi's sleeve nervously and stared at the stage, "Brother, he should be fine, right?"

Jodi really doesn’t know...

The two adult wizards raised their wands, Dolac's ceremonial movements were clean and neat, and Lockhart's hand flower looked like some kind of ancient etiquette.

"Enjoy this magical carnival, ladies and gentlemen!"

In the audience, those little witches and young male fans almost fainted with excitement.
