Chapter 20: Duels and Accidents
"Hermione, we thought you weren't coming!" Harry beckoned to Hermione.
"Originally, I didn't want to come, but the mentor said that he was busy with things today and didn't have time to guide me, so I came to the dueling club, and the mentor was more supportive of me learning dueling." Hermione said very seriously.
"Which professor do you think will be here tonight?" Harry asked, expectantly.
"I heard that the tutor said that Professor Lockhart proposed it, and he should be here today." Hermione said a little bored.
"Huh?! Lockhart! What can he teach us!? Harry screamed as soon as he heard that it was Lockhart coming.
"I don't know! But the tutor said that he was not that simple, and that there should be other professors coming. Hermione pulled out her wand to take a closer look at it, and began to maintain her wand in preparation for the next duel study.
"Other professors?! Is it Professor Rochefort? Harry asked.
"It's not! Didn't I say it before, Mentor has something to do today, Harry, what's wrong with you? Hermione looked up in confusion and looked at Harry closely.
Harry looked a little embarrassed, looked around carefully, and then whispered, "Hermione, we have something to discuss with you." With that, Harry looked around.
"You guys? Harry, where is Ron? ”
"He's in the Room of Requirement, and We're ......"
"Harry, I think it's necessary to learn to duel, we have received too little training in this area, I still want to take this opportunity to see it today, Harry, if you're not busy, can you talk about it later." Hermione interrupted Harry with some tact.
Harry seemed a little incredulous that Hermione would say that, and stammered, "Okay...... Okay, wait, wait, wait. With that, Harry stood there a little confused, hesitated for a moment, and Harry turned and ran away.
Seeing Harry like this, Hermione was also a little unhappy, and lowered her head to continue to care for her wand.
……
"Harry!"
"Rowe, Professor Rochefort!" Harry said breathlessly, with an indescribable surprise in his tone.
Inside the Room of Requirement, Ron sat obediently below, and Bernard sat at the alchemy table, with a large pile of old magic books and manuscripts in front of him, not knowing what he was doing.
Not to mention Harry's surprise, Bernard was also surprised, shouldn't Harry be waiting for a duel in the hall now? If Harry wasn't there, he wouldn't have revealed himself to be a parseltongue, so how would the story play out next? So Harry's presence here really surprised Bernard.
Putting down a magic book he was holding, Bernard stood up and asked, "Harry, what the hell are you two doing, shouldn't you be learning dueling in the Great Hall now?" ”
"Professor......" Harry looked at Ron and saw that Ron shook his head and didn't continue, and began to stumble.
Seeing this scene, Bernard couldn't help but feel a little funny, as a traveler, is there anything he doesn't know! Wait, Bernard couldn't laugh all of a sudden, because there was no such alchemy teacher in the original book, and in the original book, Harry should be in the Great Hall now, not in the Room of Requirement.
Bernard, who reacted, felt that his head seemed to hurt even more, rubbed his forehead, and Bernard said with some seriousness: "Harry, you should learn dueling in the Great Hall now, instead of not knowing what the hell to do here!" Let's go, Harry, I'll go with you. ”
There was no way, Harry was taken back to the Great Hall by Bernard not long after he stood still, maybe Harry just felt helpless, what he didn't know was that Bernard's mind had been disturbed, and he couldn't tell what he should do.
……
Harry delayed like this, the duel had already started for a long time, and now the young wizards were fighting in the Great Hall, and looking at the messy Great Hall, Bernard felt his head hurt even more. After a closer look at the professor, Bernard found that Lockhart was the only one jumping around the scene like a rabbit, not knowing what he was doing. As for Snape in the original book, he couldn't see it at all, and Bernard rubbed his forehead and walked towards Lockhart.
"Lockhart, why is there such a mess here?" Bernard shouted at Lockhart. As he spoke, Bernard dodged a spell that came from nowhere.
"I don't know, Rochefort, isn't it good? How lively! Lockhart said equally loudly. Be careful, armor protection! Bernard cast an "armor charm" on Lockhart, and he finally knew why Lockhart was jumping around like a rabbit, and the little wizards cast spells that were not accurate at all, and it was too easy to get hurt by mistake.
Pointing his wand at his throat, "Loud voice", "Stop!" Stop! The sudden sound startled many little wizards, but some of them were still casting spells, faced with this situation, Bernard had to wave his wand quickly, but unfortunately, there were still a few little wizards who were hit by spells.
"Curse stops"...... After relieving the spell several times and recovering the injured little wizard, Bernard stood on the platform and said loudly: "It's useless for everyone to train like this, the strength of the wizard is determined by the amount of magic, but the level of the wizard's combat power is determined by the magic, spells, skills, reflexes, etc., since everyone is here today, I will tell you about it." ”
After saying that, Bernard turned against the guest and invited Lockhart to the stage, which made Lockhart a little embarrassed.
First of all, everyone should first cast an "armor charm" on themselves, and after speaking, the wand was on the body a little, and then Bernard said: "Lockhart, let's attack each other with magic spells, and if you have a good grasp of the strength, you can use the strength of the third-year students." ”
"Oh, good." Bernard's words made Lockhart a little confused, and he replied stupidly.
"The armor spell can only deal with simple spells, and the power of the spell cannot be too strong, if the power exceeds the upper limit of the armor spell or is based on physical attacks, then the armor spell is useless, such as 'magic rope summons'."
Although Bernard had already shouted his spell loudly, Lockhart was still confused by the sudden rope, Bernard shook his head helplessly, waved his wand, and the rope was gone, which made Lockhart stand on the stage very innocently.
"Everyone is optimistic, this kind of magic 'armor spell' can't be resisted, 'oolong out of the hole'." As the chanting spell fell, a giant python poured out of Bernard's wand, and the little wizards gasped, and then they all squeezed back frantically, but it was Lockhart, who took a step forward with a smile, and said "snake snake woo la" very confidently, but unfortunately, his spell may be able to blow up the snake summoned by Malfoy, but there is no way to deal with Bernard's python.
Seeing that his spell was useless, Lockhart panicked, which instead attracted the attention of the python, which swerved and crawled towards Lockhart, where Bernard stood like a fool. Suddenly, a "hissing" sound came from the crowd, and the young wizards automatically moved out of the way, and Harry stepped forward.
Not caring about other people's eyes, Harry looked at the python and "hissed" again, at this time, the python turned its head as if it had found its own kind, turned its head, looked at Harry, and raised its head suddenly, many little wizards gasped, and the girls covered their mouths even more for fear of screaming.
A jet-black light shot through, and the whole python vanished, and Harry turned his head to see Bernard holding his wand, looking at him as if he didn't know him, and then turned to look at his classmates, and saw that everyone was looking at him as if they didn't know him.
Bernard stepped off the stage and grabbed Harry's arm and walked out, followed by Hermione and Ron.
