Now I will come to you and divide you all into groups of two. Pen Fun Cabinet www.biquge.info Professor Snape, if you will help me." Lockhart began to organize a duel among the students.

Snape leaned over with a murderous face, the accumulation was too great, many students saw his appearance or unconsciously leaned back, Lockhart can beat him, it doesn't mean that he can do it, they are not stupid.

Seamus and Justin formed a pair, Harry and Ron tried to get closer to Lockhart, but Snape walked in front of them first, "The Dream Team should break up, I think," he sneered, "Weasley, you can make a pair with Finigan." Potter - "He seemed to want to take out his anger at his defeat on them.

"Draco, I think the Savior would be a good fit for you, let's see what kind of person you can make the famous Potter be. As for you, Miss Granger. Snape lowered his gaze to Hermione.

"You're going to pair with Pansy. Snape found a nearby Slytherin student.

Hermione let out a sigh of relief, so that she would have a chance to get close to Pansy, she had also deliberately taken a few steps in that direction just now, but she didn't expect it to be successful.

"Face your partner!" Lockhart returned to the stage and shouted, "Bow!"

The two walked slowly onto the stage, Harry was nervous, he remembered what had happened to Ron in Hagrid's cabin.

"Raise your wand and get ready!" Lockhart exclaimed, "When I count to three, I'll cast a spell and disarm the other party's weapons - just disarm them - we don't want accidents." One-two-three-"

The two raised their weapons over their shoulders, and when the count reached three, the two of them turned, and I don't know if it was because of nervousness or what, Harry struck first, and he raised his wand and pointed it at Malfoy: "Except for your weapon!"

A faint red light burst out, much darker and slower than Snape's.

The spell was undoubtedly bounced off by Malfoy's Iron Armor.

"Python haunted!" Malfoy raised his wand, quickly chanting, and then the tip of the wand didn't come out of anything.

"I said it, just disarm!" Lockhart looked at Malfoy with some dissatisfaction, but Malfoy smiled and said, "This magic is safer than the Disarming Charm." ”

"How is that possible!" Ron said angrily in the audience, "and you should deduct points for breaking the rules." ”

"The snake was mentioned in the spell?" Hermione's heart skipped a beat, all the students these days were nervous about the basilisk that might or may not exist. There was also a whisper in the audience, and everyone heard the spell about the snake.

Harry was intently waiting when he noticed that Malfoy's wand didn't react after the spell, but he didn't underestimate his opponent, he didn't believe Malfoy would make such a low-level mistake.

Soon Harry heard an exclamation from the audience, and he buried his head in the sight of a python wrapped around his waist, hissing and spitting letters, and its green eyes staring straight at him, circling towards his upper body. Except for the initial moment of fear, Harry then tried to communicate with the snake, and he thought the snake could understand what he said.

"Can you let me go?" Harry asked, glaring at the snake.

Nothing at all.

"Hermione, what's wrong with Harry?" asked Ron. "Harry talking to the rope?"

"I don't know. Hermione shook her head, she was puzzled by this, and she couldn't understand what Harry was saying.

The students in the audience only saw that the corners of Harry's robe began to break down into threads and reassemble into a rope, tightly wrapped around Harry's body, as if to restrain his movements, and Harry was spitting out some syllables that they didn't understand.

"He's talking to that rope?" asked a Ravenclaw student. "Or is it another spell to unravel the spell?"

Harry searched desperately for the words he knew, commanding the snake he saw, he didn't know how he could utter those strange syllables, but his instincts told him that the snake could understand, but reality gave him a merciless blow, the snake's head was already wrapped around his neck, it was opening its bloody mouth, baring its fangs, and striking at his neck with a fierce attack.

The students saw the rope wrap around Harry's neck.

"Draco, it's over, it's over," Snape interrupted the duel.

"Of course, Professor. Malfoy's eyes had been closed all the time, and he seemed to be confident in his spell, and stood motionless across from Harry as if he was lost in thought. "Stop!" he suddenly pointed his wand at Harry.

Harry saw the snake slowly shrink back from him, and then vanished in the blink of an eye, as if it had never existed.

The students in the audience found the duel boring. It's far less exciting than a duel between teachers.

Lockhart spoke: "What a wonderful spell, it reminds me of an old Eastern adage, which says that without a fight... And what?"

"A soldier who surrenders without a fight. A brunette girl in the audience added.

"Yes, yes, that's it, you all know, my ideal is world peace, and this spell really appeals to my appetite. Slythringa, ten!" Lockhart said cheerfully, raising his wand.

Harry was still stunned to look at the other side, even though his opponent had already gone down, he hadn't come back to his senses, now he was confused, he didn't know what was going on, until he heard Hermione and Ron shouting, he came to his senses, he was going to give up his place to the next group of opponents.

He walked off the stage numbly, and the figure of the snake still came to mind.

"Oh, Harry, what are you doing, you can tear the rope off with your hands. Ron couldn't help but complain because he thought Harry had lost so strangely.

"Rope?" Harry looked at Ron in surprise.

"Did you see anything else?" Hermione asked, her instincts telling her that the magic wasn't that simple.

"All I saw was a snake. Harry said slowly.

"It's a rope, everyone sees it. Ron looked at Harry in disbelief, but he believed that Harry couldn't lie, so he couldn't understand it.

"It must have been that he had combined several spells to give people hallucinations, and at the same time, he dismantled and put together his robes. Hermione reasoned her way.

"Well, then it can't be helped. Ron sighed, he felt that if he had seen spiders in the duel, he would not have performed much better than Harry, snakes should be feared creatures for most people.
