When Hermione walked out of Snape's office, she was in disarray, and her hands were unconsciously gripping the horn powder and dried African tree snakeskin strips she wanted. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

After returning to the weeping Myrtle's toilet and adding the two ingredients she had just gotten into the cauldron, Hermione dispersed Harry and Ron and ran straight back to the bedroom, leaving the two of them where they were, unaware of what had happened.

In the days that followed, Harry and Ron, without Hermione by their side, felt as if they had lost their backbones, and mistakes continued. It's either that the homework is staggered or that the teacher has given the homework, in short... A Hermione who is in an abnormal state exposes all the potential problems of Harry Potter and Ron Weasley. Things only eased over the weekend... On Saturday morning, a large poster appeared in all corners of Hogwarts.

The Dueling Club, a cool-sounding name, grabs the attention of all the students, which also normalizes the Porter-Weasley duo who can't find the center these days.

Holly had heard the talk of the people around her at lunch, but she wasn't too interested in an event like a fight club for all students. After all, for all students means that the starting point is low, and probably most of the time the content taught is also for new students, and... The thought of the receptivity of most freshmen made Holly helpless. But thinking of the note I received the night before... At eight o'clock in the evening, Holly still finished his self-study in the library early and rushed to the school auditorium.

The Great Hall has changed greatly from the daytime, the four long tables have disappeared, and the others have been replaced by a glittering stage. Thousands of candles were lit on it, and the ceiling turned a deep purple, as if everyone was wrapped underneath. Everyone wore wands and looked at the stage excitedly.

When the time came to eight o'clock, the door on the other side of the hall suddenly opened, and two figures appeared, and the hall that had been buzzing before fell silent instantly.

Lockhart walked onto the stage, dressed in his best robes, while behind him was Snape, dressed in his black robes, as always.

Rockhart waved his hand to silence the people, and he exclaimed, "Gather, gather, gather, can each of you see me, can you all hear me? Wonderful!" "Now, Professor Dumbledore has given my go-ahead to open a fighting club to train you in case you need to defend yourself, as I have done countless times -- the details can be seen in my writings. ”

"Let me introduce my assistant, Professor Snape," Rockhart said, with a big smile, "and he told me that he knows a lot about martial arts, and promised to give us some temporary help before we start, and now, I don't want to worry you young men - you'll still have your pharmacy teacher when I penetrate him." - Don't be afraid!"

Hearing this, there was another buzzing sound below, and it was clear that the voices were divided into two types, one was dissatisfied with Lockhart, and the other was expecting Lockhart to be able to deal with Snape. It was only when Snape swept around with a piercing gaze that the voice fell silent again.

Lockhart and Snape bowed to each other, then they held their wands to their chests like swords, then turned their backs and stepped back from each other.

"As you can see, we're holding our wands in this fighting stance," Rockhardt told the silent crowd. "When we count to 'three', we start the first spell, and of course our purpose is not to kill each other. ”

Both of them waved their wands over their shoulders at the same time, and Snape shouted, "Remove your weapon!"

A dizzying flash of red light flashed, and Lockhart's foot was struck by a spell: he flew back to the stage and crashed headlong into the wall, which was knocked down and shattered on the floor.

The Slychlin students cheered, while the girls from the other houses worried about Lockhart.

Lockhart was unsteady on his feet. His hat fell off, and his curly hair stood on end.

"Oh, you've won!" he said, staggering over to the podium. "That's what you have to say—as you can see, I lost my wand—ah, thank you, Miss Brown. Yes, it's a good idea to demonstrate, Professor Snape. But if you don't mind, I'd like to say I know what you want to do. It's easy for me to stop you. But I think it's very instructive to let them see it......" Snape looked grim. Lockhart probably noticed it too, because he said, "Alright! I'm going to split you up in pairs now." Professor Snape, if you're willing to help me......"

The two of them shuttled through the crowd and divided the students in pairs into groups. Neville was placed in a group with Justin, while Snape came up to Harry and Ron with a weird smile on his face.

"For this close-knit duo, I would like to... Let's find a duo to practice with them, they're both second years anyway, so I guess they won't have any too advanced spells. ”

"Yes, that's a good idea. Lockhart noticed what was going on on Harry's side and leaned over.

"Holly, Erinka. You two are going to partner up with these two guys. Snape didn't even look at the other side and shouted directly. "Gryffindor vs. Ravenclaw, that's a good option too. After a few minutes, Lockhart no longer arranged in groups, but let the students spread out and practice individually. As for the 2vs2 group named by Snape, they were invited to the stage.

"Face your partner!" Lockhart cried out, returning to the podium, "Bow!"

As they bowed to each other, the corners of Holly's and Erinka's mouths twitched. When he looked up again, he looked at Harry and the others like wild beasts looking at their weak prey.

"Get your wand ready!" shouted Lockhart, "and when I count to three, start practicing the spell to disarm the opponent's weapon - just disarm it - we don't want any surprises. －…… Two...... Three ......"

Harry and Ron were waving their wands in unison, while Holly and Erinka across from them were just holding their wands flat. As soon as Three's voice fell, Harry and Ron quickly shouted a spell, and two red lights came from where they were, one forward, and the other backward hit Ron, sending him flying straight off the stage. In an instant, as soon as the red light came out of Harry's wand, there was already one less person on one side. The red light from Harry's wand didn't fly long in the air before it dissipated into the air as if it had hit a shield. Harry then threw out a few more spells, but there was still no response, and even dissipated earlier than the previous disarming charm.
