Promotion and salary increase start at Hogwarts

At eight o'clock in the evening, Harry and Ron hurried back to the Great Hall because they were going to attend the first meeting of the Duel Club.

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 once again became as dark as velvet, and almost all the students in the school came and crowded.

They were crowded together, everyone holding their own wands and looking excited.

"I wonder who will teach us," they squeezed into the chattering crowd, Ron said excitedly to Harry, "Someone told me that Professor Flitwick was a dueling champion when he was young, maybe he is here to teach us.

Teach us."

"As long as it's not Lockhart, I don't want to--" Harry turned into a groan before he could finish his sentence.

Because Gilderoy Lockhart walked onto the stage, resplendent in his purple robes, and the person beside him was none other than Snape, still wearing his usual black clothes.

Luo Cheng followed the two of them with a smile. It was his idea to set up a duel club this time. The leader Dumbledore told him the task of finding the Parseltongue, so Luo Cheng naturally wanted to complete it - of course he knew the original work

The culprit in the Middle East is Voldemort's diary Horcrux, but if he solves the mystery so quickly, what will the suspicious White Devil think of him? And now there are Draco Malfoy, who behaves strangely and inconsistent with the plot.

Achievement was not in a hurry to reveal the mystery. But the leader Dumbledore had to complete his task, so he thought of pushing Harry Potter out first to attract Dumbledore's attention.

In the original plot, the fact that Harry Potter is a Parselmouth was exposed during a duel with Draco Malfoy in the Fighting Club, so Roger planned to copy the same thing, but he would not waste energy on it.

For this kind of activity, he found the pushy Gilderoy Lockhart. When he heard that there was such a good thing about being in the limelight, he naturally took care of them all, and then he specially invited Snape.

Serves as a dueling demonstration assistant.

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

"It's like this. After Professor Luo Cheng and I fought for it, Professor Dumbledore allowed me to open this small dueling club to fully train everyone, just in case you need to defend yourself one day, and adopt the method I have used countless times to protect you.

Myself - for details on this please see my published works."

"Let me introduce my assistant, Professor Snape,"

Lockhart said, grinning widely, "He told me that he himself knew a little bit about dueling, and he graciously agreed to help me give a small demonstration before class.

I said, I don’t want you little guys to worry - after I finish demonstrating with him, I will return your Potions Master intact to you, so don’t be afraid!"

Luo Cheng showed no expression on the surface, but he was happy in his heart. In his previous life, he couldn't figure out why Lockhart would ask Snape to demonstrate his duel opponent after reading the original plot. This time, he finally understood Lockhart's plan.

——He knows what he is capable of, so naturally he does not dare to challenge Professor Flitwick, who has won the duel championship. And Professor McGonagall and Professor Sprout are witches, so he is not willing to duel with witches. After thinking about it, there is only this option.

Nep was a dean-level wizard, and he also taught potions, so Lockhart felt that he might still be able to control him.

Snape's upper lip curled up at this moment. Lockhart and Snape turned to face each other and bowed. At least Lockhart bowed, doing many tricks with his hands, but Snape was just very impatient.

The ground shook their heads. 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 said to the silent crowd. "On the count of three, we cast the first spell. Of course, none of us can do it.

The other person’s life.”

"I don't dare to bet." Harry looked at Snape's teeth and whispered. "One-two-three-" They raised their wands sharply above their shoulders at the same time.

Snape shouted: "Expelliarmus!" Suddenly a dazzling red light flashed, and Lockhart was struck unsteadily. He flew backwards off the stage, hit the wall, then slid down and lay on his back.

He was curled up on the floor, exactly in a "Yamucha death pose".
