Chapter 155 Duel Club

At eight o’clock in the evening, the long dining table in the auditorium disappeared, and a gilded stage appeared along one wall, illuminated by hundreds of candles floating in the sky.

The ceiling became as dark as velvet again, and almost all the students from the school were here, crowded together, everyone holding their own wands, their faces full of excitement.

Elvis and Hermione stood outside the crowd – although Hermione didn’t want to come, she still came after Elvis’ repeated invitations.

Elvis is not only here to have fun tonight, he also wants to find out how strong Lockhart is now.

On the stage,

Lockhart was seen walking up with enchanting steps. He was wearing a purple-red robe tonight, and he was dazzling. He still had his signature smile on his face, showing a row of white teeth.

Padma led a group of little witches to stand at the front. They pulled a long banner that read:

Professor Lockhart! Fans will always support you!

Every time Lockhart looked in their direction, the little witches would scream in unison.

This lively scene continued until Snape arrived.

Snape, dressed in black robes, stood next to Lockhart expressionlessly. The young wizards in the audience immediately fell silent, including ardent fans like Padma and the others.

Lockhart greeted Snape with a smile on his face. Before Snape could respond, he waved vigorously around and shouted:”Come around, come around! Can everyone see me? Can everyone hear me?” Talk? Great!”

“That’s right, Professor Dumbledore allowed me to open this little dueling club to fully train everyone in case you need to defend yourself one day. Protect yourself in the same way I have used countless times – for more details on this, please See my published works……”Lockhart stood on the stage and talked.

“Let me introduce my assistant, Professor Snape,” he said with a big grin.”He told me that he himself knew a thing or two about dueling, and he graciously agreed to attend class during class. Please help me with a small demonstration.”

Everyone looked at Snape.

Snape nodded coldly. He came here not only because of Dumbledore’s mission, but he also wanted to find out what level Lockhart’s strength was.

Lockhart Te was still giving his speech:”I said, I don’t want to worry you little guys.——”

“After I finish demonstrating with him, I will return your Potions Master intact to you, don’t be afraid! He grinned, as if he had told a terrible joke.

Snape’s upper lip curled up.

On the stage, Lockhart and Snape turned to each other and bowed.

At least. Lockhart bowed and did many tricks with his hands, while Snape just shook his head impatiently. Then, they raised their wands in front of their chests like arrows.

“As you can see, we hold our wands in the normal dueling posture,” Lockhart told the silent crowd.”On the count of three, we cast the first spell. Of course, neither of us would take the other’s life.”

Snape looked at Lockhart with indifferent eyes, and the latter smiled back.

The two counted down together:”One – two – three——”

As soon as the countdown ended, they both jerked their wands over their shoulders.

Snape shouted:”Expelliarmus!”

Suddenly a dazzling red light flashed, heading straight towards where Lockhart was standing.

“Armor protection!”Lockhart

chanted the curse loudly.

The next second, an illusory shield appeared in front of Lockhart, rebounding Snape’s disarming spell.

The movement of Snape’s hand was not slow and light. A magic spell was thrown out and hit the disarming spell that bounced back. He raised the wand in his hand and directed the attack upward. There was an explosion on the ceiling of the auditorium.

Lockhart smiled, showing a row of big teeth. He explained:”Our Professor Snape chose to use the disarming spell when he came up, which is good. Children, you must remember that as long as you knock off the wand of the wizard opposite, you can win this duel.”

Lockhart’s fans cheered.

The other little wizards also had some strange movements. They couldn’t help but think that Lockhart could actually block Snape’s magic. He really couldn’t use it at the beginning of school because of his wand. Strength?

The duel on the stage continues, but compared to Ives’s training with Professor Flitwick, their battle is more like a turn-based game

“Falling apart! Lockhart shouted, and a red light shot towards Snape, which was then blocked by the magic barrier.

“Fainted!”Snape responded with a Stunning Charm.

“Imprison him quickly!”

……

The two of them were engaged in an offensive and defensive battle with one magic and the other, which made Snape a little impatient.

Snape had already seen through Lockhart’s level of magic, and every spell Lockhart used was only at the beginning level. He watched as Lockhart waved his wand in strict accordance with the spellbook, then shouted the exact spell.

But before he could cast any other spells to end the farce, Lockhart took the initiative to stop it.

“”Professor Snape, that’s it.” His face was pale, as if he had just experienced a fierce battle.

Hearing this, Snape put away his wand decisively. However, he was confused. According to the magical power of an adult wizard, Lockhart The magic used just now shouldn’t have consumed so much.

Could it be… Snape’s eyes glanced at Lockhart’s waist.

Lockhart bent down twice and waited until his face became rosier before raising his head. Come, this made Snape even more sure of his guess.

Lockhart didn’t know what Snape was thinking. He laughed twice and said,”Thank you, Professor Snape, for your cooperation.”

As he spoke, he took the initiative to applaud.

The fans in the audience followed closely and applauded. Finally, the entire auditorium was filled with warm applause.

When the enthusiasm of the little wizards cooled down slightly, Lockhart said again:”Everyone You should all be able to tell that this was just a demonstration that Professor Snape and I just conducted for you. A real battle is definitely not such a child’s play.……”

His serious tone frightened the little wizards in the audience for a moment.

“……‘The issue of”real combat” is not what I should teach you in the first class.” He turned to smile,”Perhaps in the last duel club of this semester, I will show you what is It’s a real fight.”

When he finished speaking, the crowd became noisy again.

Ives heard a few girls in front of him saying loudly

“Sure enough, the book written by Professor Lockhart is his own real experience!”

“Yeah yeah”

“Professor Lockhart, I’m going to give you a monkey!”

“Yeah yeah”
