Chapter 65 You Will Get Used to It

After dinner on Friday, Harry and Hermione went to the school infirmary to visit and take care of Ron. Ron is now able to eat and sleep, very good! If Madam Pomfrey hadn't strongly urged him to observe for another two days, he might have been discharged directly from the hospital!

Just now Harry asked Ron curiously, wondering what it was like to hear the cries of the mandrakes when he was in the greenhouse. Then Ron said: That's like when a hundred Professor Dumbledores yelled at the start-of-term party! At that time, he only felt a loud "hum!" in his ears! I don't know anything!

And then Harry finally got his homework together: the one that Professor Pomona Sprout had asked to fill a whole parchment with about the habits of mandrakes! He wrote what Ron said, the first-hand information when the wizard heard the cry of the Mandrake, so the number of words was made up for him!

After making sure that Ron was fine, Harry and Hermione hurried back to the school hall. Because tonight, there is a duel club specially organized by Professor Lockhart of the Defense Against the Dark Arts class. Both of them have signed up for a long time ago, and they must be there!

"Welcome everyone to my duel club! Thank you very much! Your enthusiasm really makes me feel very honored!"

The auditorium was packed with dozens of students, basically from every grade, and they were excitedly discussing this novel dueling club with each other.

And on a small stage temporarily built with wooden boards, Professor Lockhart was wearing a well-fitting tight-fitting gown, combing his shiny hair with a big back, standing very coquettishly on the stage, bowing slightly to the students and delivering a speech.

"Welcome everyone here again. I just counted the number of people. Shouldn't anyone be absent? This is very good! Here, I am happy to tell you that this duel club has the approval and support of our principal Dumbledore !So!" Lockhart picked up his wand and wrote a line of dazzling magic characters in the air. It read: Lockhart's Dueling Club is about to begin!

Seeing this, the students below started applauding enthusiastically. Now this Defense Against the Dark Arts professor is still very popular! It can be seen from the number of people who join the club!

"Okay, thank you! Thank you everyone! Please be quiet, everyone, I still have a little something to tell you, I believe it won't take too much time! Just a moment, just a moment!" Ha After Lotter signaled the students to be quiet, he waved to Snape, who had been keeping a dark face beside him, and motioned him to stand beside him.

"Here, let me introduce to you first! Today, I have the honor to invite Professor Snape to be my assistant!" Lockhart grinned after finishing speaking, and a student named Dorin below slammed Started to take pictures with the camera.

"Professor Snape said that he knows a thing or two about duels. In this way, he can assist me with a small demonstration before the duel officially begins! But please rest assured, I will be merciful and absolutely not I will accidentally hurt your Potions teacher! I am very confident about this. If you have read my autobiography, you should know that I fought vampires and werewolves back then!"

hum! Snape looked coldly at this Lockhart who was proudly showing off on the stage and trying to trick the students into raising himself up! Snape felt that his own endurance was about to reach its limit! His eyes narrowed slightly, and he had already made a decision in his heart: he must teach this bastard a profound lesson in a while!

"Okay, it seems that everyone has been looking forward to it for a long time! Then, let's have a duel between the two of us first, and let's give you a demonstration before the official opening!" Lockhart, who had been bragging until the students started After getting impatient, he restrained himself a little. He was going to have a friendly demonstration match with Snape! It's just friendship,

So far! Anyway, that's what he thought.

After the start was announced, Lockhart and Snape took a few steps away from each other, then turned to face each other, Lockhart bowed, and Snape just nodded coldly at him. They then held their respective wands like swords to their chests.

"As you've all seen, we hold our wands in the usual dueling position," Lockhart said triumphantly, turning his head to the students, "when I count to three, the two of us will start casting spells! Of course, I promise I won't use harmful spells! Otherwise, you won't be able to attend Potions class tomorrow!" As soon as Harold finished speaking, the students below burst into laughter!

Hearing that Harold dared to say such a thing, Snape's face became even uglier! The back of his wand-holding hand was strained and veined now! It seems that he will not spare this cheap-mouthed Harold lightly today, right?

"Harry, which of the two of them do you think is stronger?" Hermione, like other students, was watching the duel on the stage with great interest, while asking Harry next to her, guessing who would win between the two above.

"The dark wizard Snape must have won! I don't think Professor Harold will be his opponent!" Harry looked at the two people in the stands, hesitated and whispered, this was his intuition! Harry was punished too badly by Snape recently, and now it is considered friendly just to scold Snape for being a dark wizard!

"Harry! You should call him Professor Snape! Besides, you shouldn't be slandering your Potions teacher behind his back! If he hears you, you're screwed!" Looking around, no one noticed that Harry had just After speaking, Hermione warned Harry in a low voice! Once these words reached Snape's ears, another twenty pages of homework would be considered a light penalty!

"Professor Snape, are you ready? I'm about to start counting down! Please pay attention! One, two, three—expect you!" Lockhart first asked Snape on purpose, and then counted At the same time as the third, he immediately cast a disarming spell. As he wished, the spell hit perfectly before the other party could react, and knocked Snape's wand into the air. Lockhart was very proud to catch it before the wand fell to the ground. live it.

"Aha! Did you see it? This is a duel! Isn't it very simple? And I am honored to defeat Professor Snape of your Potions class! Of course, I am your Defense Against the Dark Arts professor after all." !" Lockhart held two wands in his hands, and he thought that he had won the wand after he got it, so he was going to salute the students and chattered for a while.

"I said! The battle shouldn't be over yet, right? Are you a little too happy?"

Snape felt that it was fine if Lockhart was a bit of a fool and deliberately shot early, but he started to celebrate on his own. Did he really think he was going to win? What a joke! Moreover, just now Snape deliberately let him take the wand first, just to see the other's despicable face! He felt that he couldn't bear it anymore! This clown must be taught a lesson immediately!

"Stupid! Disarm you!"

Professor Snape pointed at Lockhart with two fingers side by side, quickly shouted two spells, and then issued two different spells almost at the same time, and the two magical rays hit Lockhart who was caught off guard, In the exclamation of a group of students, he was knocked out of the stage, fell heavily on the floor of the auditorium, and passed out. At the same time, the two wands in his hand were also knocked into the air , one of which flew back into Snape's hand.

"Wow! Casting spells without a staff! He can use them so proficiently!"

The students below all exclaimed, since Annie started teaching the secret of casting without a wand a week ago, the students have more or less mastered it, but no one has ever been able to use it in actual combat as proficiently as Snape! This is still casting two wandless spells at the same time! And it looks so powerful! The speed and power just now are almost the same as casting spells with a staff, right?

"Look! As I said, it must be the dark wizard who can win, right?" Harry turned his head to look at Hermione who was already stunned. He had already guessed that this would be the result! Even Harry himself hated Snape very much, and he didn't want him to win! But I have to admit that this dark wizard's strength is much more reliable than that frivolous Professor Harold!

"It seems... Professor Lockhart needs to take a good rest. I wonder if he will be absent from the Defense Against the Dark Arts class tomorrow? Hehe! Then, tonight's duel club has to be hosted by me. I don't think everyone has any objections, right?" Looking at the unconscious Lockhart and the whispering students below, the corners of Snape's mouth curled up, and he sneered maliciously.

After seeing Snape's cold eyes sweeping over him and staying on him for a short while, Harry suddenly felt that maybe he shouldn't be here tonight! Intuition told him! If you stay any longer, something bad will definitely happen to you! It seems that he must find a way to leave early! Is it better to piss or shit?

"Hermione, let's go back early? I suddenly feel a little sick to my stomach. I must have eaten too much at dinner! I want to leave now, and I'd better go back and have a good sleep!" Harry began to ask him Hermione got up.

"No! Harry! The Dueling Club has just started! I really want to have a good time!" Hermione has mastered many wandless spells proficiently, and she thinks she should have a great advantage tonight! Maybe have a few fun games! As long as the opponent is not those senior students!

"But, I always feel that Snape has bad intentions for me! He will definitely take the opportunity to deal with me!" Harry whispered next to Hermione.

"Harry, can't you stop making a professor so random?"

"But I think that's what he is! Look at the way he looks at me!" Harry turned his head away, sure enough! He met Snape's cold eyes again!

"Okay! Harry! Stop thinking about it, the duel has already started to be grouped! Come and get ready!" Hermione grabbed Harry's arm and dragged him to the grouping point.

As for the way Professor Snape looked at Harry, Hermione felt that he was overthinking it! That's how Snape had always been to Harry anyway! Temporary escape is meaningless, he should learn to get used to it early! Maybe, you will get used to it after experiencing it!
