The powerful spells and superb combat skills used by Ivan and Snape opened the eyes of the onlookers and fascinated them for a while.

A few bold Gryffindor students were even more eager to get closer so that they could see more clearly, but under Professor Flitwick's repeated reprimands, they could only dismiss this idea.

"Magic can still be used like this!" Hermione couldn't help but sigh when she saw Ivan and Snape repurposing the aftermath of the magic released by the other party more than once, blending it into the new magic, and then returning to attack each other.

"yes, I didn't even know Professor Lockhart was so good!" Ron's eyes widened, and he stared blankly at Lockhart, who was fighting Snape on the stage.

"But it looks like Snape is better, and Lockhart looks like he's going to lose." Harry added.

The surrounding little wizards nodded in agreement, and Professor Flitwick also bowed slightly, in his opinion, "Lockhart" was not far from defeat.

Lockhart, who turned into Ivan with a polyjuice potion, frowned dissatisfiedly, in his opinion that Ivan Hals had released water too seriously in the battle, and he was simply sorry for the three thousand Galleons he spent!

Listening to the chatter of the little wizards in his ears, Lockhart said in a disdainful voice. "You're underestimating him, if he's true, Snape would have died a long time ago!"

Lockhart's high-pitched voice echoed throughout the hall, and everyone turned their heads to look at him strangely, even the two professors, and Harry asked in confusion.

"Ivan, how did you know that Professor Lockhart didn't use all his strength?"

Lockhart coughed lightly twice, and was about to make up an improvised reason, when Hermione suddenly tugged at his right wrist and stared straight at him.

"Wait, what about the bracelet you've always had on your hand?"

I don't know? Lockhart panicked, Ivan didn't give him the thing, so he could only make it up.

"Well. I've lent that thing to someone else temporarily..."

"Who did you lend it to?" Hermione became even more suspicious.

Lockhart looked at Ivan in the dueling arena with a dodge look, but found that Ivan, who was fighting Snape, did not have a bracelet or anything like that, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

Lockhart's non-reply, and Hermione's repeated questioning, made the two professors keenly aware that something was wrong.

At another point in time, it's okay for a little wizard to behave a little weirdly.

But now it's different, there was an attack on the school just yesterday, and the killer has not been found so far, and Lockhart's anomaly has attracted their attention.

Fortunately, an ethereal voice rang out in the crowd.

"He lent me the bracelet."

Luna struggled to squeeze out of the crowd, and when she saw that Hermione and the others were looking at her, she raised the magic ring on her right hand and shook it, and the bone pieces collided with each other with a crisp sound.

Hermione pursed her lips and stopped talking.

Flitwick and Professor Sprout noticed the change in Hermione's expression, and their gaze lingered on Luna for a moment, finally dispelling their suspicions about Lockhart.

After a little delay, the situation in the dueling arena changed again.

Just as the young wizards in the audience had guessed, Ivan, who had barely been in a stalemate with Snape for a while, was about to lose his hand.

As the attacker, Snape didn't mean to spare his hand, and seized the mistake caused by Ivan's late reaction, and hit out several spells in a row, tearing apart the defense built by the iron armor spell and the protective cloak layer by layer....

Finally, Snape's wand flickered, and a flash of red light appeared.

"Except for your weapons!"

The disarming spell hit the target, Ivan retreated more than a dozen steps in a row, and almost fell off the high platform, the lines on the protective cloak became very dull, and it was unusable for a while.

The most important thing was that the wand in Ivan's hand came out of his hand and fell into Snape's hands.

Ivan frowned, although he still had a more powerful wand in his sleeve, it was obviously not convenient to take it out.

To this point, he's already lost...

However, to Ivan's surprise, Snape threw back the wand he had gotten in his hand.

Ivan reached out and took it, looking at Snape puzzled, not quite understanding what he meant...

"You gave me a chance before, and I'll give you a chance now," Snape said slowly, then glanced at Lockhart in the audience, turned his head to Ivan and said sarcastically.

"I heard Hals say that you can easily kill me, but you haven't used all your strength yet? I'd like to see it! ”

The corners of Ivan's mouth couldn't help twitching, and he heard Lockhart's loud words in the audience, but he didn't expect Snape to mean it seriously.

"Professor Snape, are we demonstrating wizarding duels to the kids, or might as well be restrained." Ivan clearly knew that the direct admission was not in line with his current identity, so he said euphemistically.

"Restraint? No, no, I think people would prefer to see something bloody. Snape's face darkened, and he thought that Ivan was undoubtedly agreeing with Lockhart's statement by saying this.

Thinking of this, Snape turned his head abruptly and said to the young wizards watching the excitement in the audience.

"Everyone, give me twenty meters back!"

"Lest your Professor Lockhart unleash the magic so amazing that it will reach you," Snape added mockingly.

"Stand back and do as Professor Snape says!" Flitvier commanded loudly, ordering everyone to retreat to a safe distance so as not to be affected by Lockhart's super magic.

A few skinny little wizards, as well as Lockhart's die-hard fans, shouted loudly.

"Professor Lockhart, we've got your back!"

"Professor Lockhart, you're the strongest!"

......

Ivan, who was standing in the dueling arena, saw everyone's expectant looks, and didn't know how to step down for a while.

If he had a unicorn wand in his hand, he would be able to activate the enhanced magic word to fool him with an amplified thunderbolt explosion, and see how Snape would resist it.

But you can't do that now, you won't expose your bloodline magic, right?

Ivan longed in his heart to strangle Lockhart, who was talking nonsense.

Snape waited impatiently, raising his wand to be the first to strike.

The door of the exhibition hall was slammed open at this time.

The sudden noise ruined the atmosphere on the field, and everyone turned around in unison, and Filch, who was carrying the oil lamp, broke in in with a panicked expression, and he screamed loudly.

"Attack! Another child has been attacked! It's right in the hallway on the third floor! ”
