Chapter 144: The Dueling Club
Snape swam around the professor, his face gloomy and about to squeeze out the water.
"I'll find out, I'll find out who threw it......" he whispered, "I'm going to fire that man." ”
Dudley was keenly aware of it.
As Snape spoke, his gaze kept wandering off Harry's.
It's no wonder that Harry is suspicious, because his acting skills are so poor.
If Dudley were to score his acting skills, he would give a very comforting score at most.
As long as Snape is not a fool, he can see the problem, but it is useless to just see it, he has no evidence.
Harry seemed to be living like a year, but it didn't last long, as the bell rang. He watched under Snape, and walked out of the basement classroom with difficulty.
The four of them avoided the crowd and sneaked to the Room of Requirement.
Harry sat down on the ground as if he had collapsed, patting his chest and hurriedly saying, "He must know I threw it, I can see it." ”
"You're amazing, you're not the only ......," Dudley said with a chuckle, "everyone can guess it's you, but don't worry, Snape has no proof that you did it." ”
"It doesn't matter," Hermione walked between Dudley and Harry, holding out her hand to Dudley, "Did you steal all the materials you need?"
Dudley took the two ingredients out of the wizard's robe and handed them to Hermione, "This is a must. ”
Hermione ignored Dudley, who happily walked over to the crucible with the two ingredients and tossed them in. She quickly stirred the potion and said excitedly, "I can get through it in two weeks." ”
The potion inside the cauldron is gurgling and the hat bubbles.
Dudley squatted beside Harry, he reached out and touched Harry's belly and said, "Calculate the time, your belly will get bigger quickly during this time, right?"
"Almost...... Harry counted the time with his fingers crossed, "probably after Christmas, before January." This is also an estimate. ”
"Then you have to prepare in advance," Dudley reminded, "don't wake up with the same belly as the October pregnancy, then you can't hide your pregnancy." ”
"Isn't there still a while......
Harry clutched his hair a little irritably, "Now I'm more worried about Snape, you know him, he won't give up. ”
"Oh!"
Harry wanted to beat Dudley right now, what did 'oh' mean?
"Calm down, Snape is not a vicious beast. ”
"No, he's ...... in my eyes"
They spent the afternoon in the Room of Requirement, and Hermione spent the afternoon making magic items, including spell cards.
Dudley is where Harry and Ron are sparring.
In just one afternoon, he had put Harry and Ron in the school hospital.
Over the weekend, a huge poster was plastered on the bulletin board.
The poster depicts a mysterious figure with no face and only a question mark.
Next to the figure is written in large lilac letters: "Next Friday night, a dueling club will be held in the Great Hall." The greatest wizard of the century will teach you how to duel. ”
A group of young wizards gathered around the poster, and they looked excited.
"Start a dueling club!" said Seamus, "I'm not against taking some dueling lessons anyway, it might come in handy someday......"
Dudley glanced at Seamus, this is a talent, not only can explode, but also can prophesy.
"I don't think the monsters of Slytherin will choose to duel us," Ron said uninterested, but his eyes never took off the delicate poster.
"Are we going to go?" Harry asked, looking at Dudley and Hermione, "who do you think will teach us? the greatest wizard of the century...... Could it be Professor Dumbledore!"
"You're thinking too much......" Dudley pouted, "with such braggadocio and the color of the words, can't you think of who it could be?"
"Gilderoy Lockhart. Hermione said lightly.
Ron really wasn't interested in the dueling club right now.
Harry coughed awkwardly, "You didn't say it. ”
......
Soon, it was the night of the opening of the dueling club.
Dudley and the others finally decided to join in the fun, as a way to adjust the depression of this time.
So, at eight o'clock in the evening, Dudley and the others came to the auditorium.
The long dining table in the auditorium vanished, and along one wall appeared a gilded stage, illuminated by hundreds of candles floating above.
Once again, the ceiling was dark like velvet, and almost all the students in the school came, crowded one after another, each with their own wands and their faces full of excitement.
The students around were excited about who would come, but Dudley and the four of them watched coldly, out of place with the surrounding scene.
It didn't take long for the man to arrive.
None other than Gilderoy Lockhart.
Most of the young wizards were in high spirits, and since the last stadium incident, his reputation at school had been bad, and anyone with a discerning eye had seen through it.
Gilderoy Lockhart walked onto the stage with a grin, shining in a fuchsia robe. He was accompanied by a man, none other than Snape, dressed in his usual black clothes.
Lockhart waved everyone to silence, but not many people actually spoke, and he shouted loudly and intoxicatedly: "Come around, come around, can everyone see me? Can you hear me?"
He pretended to clear his throat.
"Well, after much persuasion by Professor Dumbledore, he finally allowed me to open this little dueling club, for nothing else, but to fully train everyone. You don't need to be moved, after all, this is what I should do as a professor. ”
"As for what you can do to protect yourself...... he said, pulling out a new book from his wizard's robes that no one has read, "for more on this, see my new book." ”
"Let me introduce you to my assistant today, Professor Snape," Lockhart said with a grin, "according to Professor Snape, he himself knows a thing or two about dueling, and he has volunteered to be my assistant. Before we give you a lesson, we will give you a demonstration. But don't worry... When I'm done demonstrating with him, I'll definitely give you back an intact professor. ”
"Wouldn't it be great if they fought to defeat both?" Ron whispered to them.
Dudley glanced at Ron, "I'm afraid you haven't woken up and are still dreaming." ”
Snape's upper lip curled.
