Study Days at Hogwarts

When he heard that a student actually suggested that he should duel Snape again, the muscles on Lockhart's face couldn't help but twitch, and he said dryly, "The demonstration is over!"

How to defend against disarming spell?

Lockhart naturally knew, but he was not confident that he could use the Iron Armor Curse to block Snape's disarming spell, let alone interrupt Snape's spell in advance before he used the disarming spell.

"Now I will be among you..." Before Lockhart could finish his words, he was interrupted again.

"Professor must have a way to counter the disarming curse, right?" Another student asked expectantly, and this time it was Truman of Hufflepuff who spoke.

This guy also has a lot of resentment towards Lockhart now.

There was no way, let alone Professor Quirrell last year, at least he could teach them some theoretical knowledge, but what happened to this Professor Lockhart?

It’s all about coming to Hogwarts to be funny!

You are convinced that he is really a professor, not a writer wearing the title of professor.

Students who saw Lockhart unhappy, or fans who hoped that Lockhart could teach Snape a lesson, began to boo at this moment, hoping to see another duel.

"Maybe you should satisfy everyone."

Snape's stiff cheeks actually curved into a slight smile.

At this moment, Lockhart was like a rabbit being cornered. After much hesitation, he nodded in agreement.

Although his armor spell is sloppy, at least... maybe...

There was another dazzling red light, and another figure suddenly flew backwards. Everyone was speechless when they saw Lockhart hitting the wall and sliding down.

Everything is so familiar.

Yes, this scene happened just a few minutes ago.

The only difference is that before Lockhart was hit by Professor Snape's disarming spell, he recited "armor protection", although it didn't work.

There was a moment of dead silence, and no one knew who started to applaud. Sporadic applause soon spread in the auditorium.

Lockhart struggled to get up from the ground. At this moment, he no longer had the confidence and calmness he had before. Even the smile on his face looked a little forced.

After receiving the signal from Albert's eyes, George immediately pretended that he was a newbie who didn't understand anything, and asked humbly: "Professor Lockhart, what spell did you use just now?"

"George must have done it on purpose," Ron muttered under his breath.

He knew that both Fred and George could use the Iron Armor Charm, and they could use it slyly. Even if they went on stage to fight Lockhart, they might be able to defeat their Defense Against the Dark Arts professor easily.

He really wanted to see this happen.

"I think this is a good idea."

Harry Potter, who was below the stage, felt particularly happy when he saw Lockhart deflated. In the first half of the semester, he was constantly harassed by Lockhart, especially in the Defense Against the Dark Arts class, where he was always asked to play various roles, which really made him extremely depressed.

Hermione next to her looked anxious, a little worried about Lockhart's condition.

"The spell I just used was the Iron Armor Curse. Although I failed to use it successfully, the Iron Armor Curse can rebound magic spells and is very suitable for protecting yourself from the threat of spells." Lockhart straightened his wizard hat and faced Everyone showed a signature smile.

"Professor, is there any way to counter the enemy before he uses a spell?" Albert asked.

"This..." The smile on Lockhart's face suddenly froze.

"It's a very high level of skill."

Snape glanced at Lockhart and answered the question for him: "You need to predict your opponent's magic in advance. Of course, if the strength gap between the two sides is huge, you can usually do it."

"Okay, the demonstration is over!"

Lockhart interrupted before Snape could steal his limelight: "I will divide you all into pairs and attempt a duel."

Albert regretted not being able to cause Lockhart any more trouble.

Lockhart soon began to group up and find people to fight on stage.

Of course, Lockhart was chosen by Harry Potter, and Draco Malfoy by Snape.

The two professors obviously planned to let the two of them show off in front of everyone.

"Now raise your wand and bow to the opponent and get ready!" Lockhart said loudly. "When I count to three, I will use magic to disarm the opponent."

Malfoy obviously had no intention of abiding by the rules. When Lockhart shouted two, he cast a spell to sneak attack Harry Potter in advance.

Before anyone could react, they saw Malfoy seemed to have been hit on the head by something. He swayed and fell backward.

"Well done Harry!"

The Gryffindor students in the audience shouted excitedly.

However, Harry looked at Malfoy who suddenly fell down with a confused look on his face, and then looked at his wand. He hadn't done anything yet, so why did Malfoy fall down on his own?

Is this the other party's conspiracy?

It doesn’t even look like it!

Having said that, should I take advantage of the moment to cast magic on the fallen Malfoy? The opportunity is too rare, but doing so seems to violate the ethics of the game.

"Tarantella!"

Malfoy had already raised his wand and pointed it at Harry's knee, chanting a spell to sneak attack.

In front of everyone, everyone saw that before the spell hit Harry, something seemed to flash in front of Harry.

Then, they saw the dance spell being bounced back, passing over Malfoy's head and flying towards Snape behind him.

Finally, it was blocked by Snape with a light wave.

"You despicable guy, you are violating the ethics of the game." Harry shouted to Malfoy. He no longer hesitated and recited a tickling spell at him, making Malfoy laugh until he collapsed on the ground.

"The curse stops immediately!"

Snape immediately took over the power and lifted the spell on Malfoy. Then, he looked at Harry dissatisfied and said with a gloomy face: "Mr. Potter, you are wearing an amulet, right? This has violated the rules of dueling."

"Mr. Malfoy just violated the rules of the duel. He used magic in advance, and in the end he attacked me shamelessly." Harry glared back without showing any signs of weakness.

"Yes, Malfoy didn't follow the rules and recited the curse first. It's really despicable."

"He insulted the sacred duel."

"Malfoy, get out of here right now."

Incited by Lee Jordan, Gryffindor students began to boo, and many students from other houses also joined in. Who makes Slytherin students unpopular in school?

The expression on Snape's face darkened.

"Quiet, quiet!" shouted Lockhart.

"Mr. Malfoy's sneak attack in advance is against the dueling rules. And Harry, take off the amulet from your body first. Using the amulet is also against the dueling rules." Lockhart glanced at Snape and then looked away. , then said loudly, "I think I'd better teach you how to stop unfriendly magic."

"Professor, I hope you can teach us yourself."

Lee Jordan thought this was a good opportunity and started to take the initiative. With Lockhart's performance, it was not impossible to defeat him.

Of course, his words were ignored by Lockhart.

The duel continued, still between Harry and Malfoy.

The two professors will give them some advice to make the duel look more "friendly".

Of course, that's just what Lockhart thinks. He thinks now is a good opportunity.

A chance to become Harry's teacher.

If Lockhart had thought carefully about his abilities, he might not have had such unrealistic thoughts.
