Chapter 242 Duel with Snape

night,

In the office of the Defense Against the Dark Arts class, Ivan came here half an hour early, drank polyjuice potion, and transformed into Lockhart's appearance.

"Cloak, gloves, rings! And a wand!" Ivan looked at himself in the mirror and frowned, then stretched out his hand to the side.

Lockhart handed over his pretentious three-piece suit, but when he finally handed over the wand, he hesitated and said reluctantly.

"Why do you even want my wand? I gave it to you, so what should I do?"

"If you don't want me to be found out, then bring them all!" Ivan rolled his eyes, then looked at Lockhart, who had used Polyjuice Potion to look like himself, and warned.

"Also, you'd better stay in your office and don't go anywhere!"

"How can that be done? I don't want to miss such an important moment. Give me your wand. What if I'm called to the stage by another professor?" Lockhart raised his eyebrows.

Ivan shook his head. There was nothing he could do, so he threw him a protective ring.

As for his unicorn wand, Ivan was not prepared to give it to Lockhart. Fortunately, he also had a dragon heartstring wand, which he had never returned since he got it from Asia last time.

Now it is just right for Lockhart to use. Despite this, Ivan still told Lockhart not to go on stage at will and ruin his reputation.

Going all the way to the venue of the Duel Club, Ivan found that the decoration in the large exhibition hall was very different from the last time.

The flags of the four major colleges were hung high in the air, floating in the gentle breeze. Four high stages were placed in the center, ensuring that most students could go on stage to show off their skills throughout the night.

Ivan was sure that this was not Lockhart's idea, because this guy would only set up a stage so that everyone could focus on him.

"There are so many people here." Ivan looked at the bustling exhibition hall, somewhat surprised. There seemed to be more little wizards here tonight than last time.

He thought that yesterday's attack would affect the dueling club today.

When Ivan was thinking this, an ethereal voice sounded behind him.

"Because everyone is worried, they want to know how to protect themselves."

Ivan turned his head and looked over. Behind him was a familiar figure wearing Ravenclaw robes.

"Lukekeke" Ivan almost let it slip, but fortunately he remembered in time that Lockhart and Luna were not that familiar, so he changed his words.

"Miss Lovegood, what you said makes sense. Yes, that's why I started the dueling club."

"By the way, Miss Lovegood, why did you come to see me?" Ivan was very curious as to why Luna came to see Lockhart. She was not a fan of Lockhart.

Luna looked at him with her silver-gray eyes for a while, but did not reply. After a while, she suddenly pointed at his right wrist.

Ivan looked down in confusion, and then noticed the magic ring on his wrist.

"So it's because of this" Ivan sighed. He didn't expect that he had been so cautious, but his identity was still exposed because of the magic ring.

"I had it with me before I met you, so I guess you won't give this thing to anyone else, right? Besides, the real Professor Lockhart will immediately walk up to the stage so that everyone can see it first. to him"

Luna kept talking about what was wrong with Ivan, which was as interesting to her as solving a puzzle.

"I'm glad that not every student is as smart as you, otherwise I would just go back and forget it." Ivan said helplessly, but Luna told him clearly what was missing in the disguise.

Thinking of this, Ivan took off the magic ring hanging on his right hand and put it on Luna's wrist in her surprised eyes.

"You were wrong just now. If necessary, I will temporarily leave this thing to others for safekeeping!"

"You can use its power in the duel field, but in exchange, you have to cover for me when others ask." Ivan said with a smile.

There are many smart little wizards in Hogwarts, and none of the professors are difficult to deal with. I think many people will notice that he wears a bracelet on his right hand.

If you leave it here with Luna, you can say that it is temporarily lent to her.

Whoosh~

After making an agreement with Luna, Ivan raised his wand and shot a magical light into the air, which exploded in mid-air and colorful fluorescent lights sprinkled from the air.

"I'm very happy to see so many people here today!" Ivan attracted everyone's attention, adjusted his expression, walked onto the stage, looked around at everyone, and said loudly.

"I think you all have heard about yesterday's attack and are worried about it. You are eager to learn some magic that can protect yourself in today's course. This is also the original intention of setting up this duel course!"

"But what I want to tell you is that in addition to practicing your spell-casting skills to improve your strength, it is more important to stay vigilant at all times!

Many dark wizards appear to be harmless on the surface, and will even provide you with certain help in order to gain trust. The same is true for certain dark magic items.

I once heard a saying, don’t trust anything with self-awareness unless you know exactly where its brain is.”

Ivan's eyes swept across the crowd below, watching everyone's expressions and movements, and remembered them one by one.

However, Ivan didn't dare to say it too clearly. He could only use Lockhart's identity to give a few words, and asked them to be careful. It is best to travel in groups of three or five, and come to him immediately if any abnormalities are found!

After a lecture, Ivan found that the little wizards below him were feeling drowsy. Only a few of them took his words to heart. Several professors looked at him with admiration and nodded frequently.

"Okay, it seems that you are not interested in what I have to say, so now we will officially start today's class." Ivan shrugged helplessly and said loudly.

"Now, I invite your Potions Professor and Dean of Slytherin House, Snape, to be my opponent! We will show you what a real wizard duel is!"

As Ivan's words fell, the drowsy little wizards suddenly became more awake, and their eyes were on the other side of the high platform, looking forward to Snape's appearance on the stage.

A duel between two professors is extremely rare, and everyone is speculating on who can win the final victory.
