Chapter 118: A duel between rivals
In fact, everyone knows that compared to the somewhat flashy and bombastic Lockhart, the gloomy and terrifying Snape is even more terrifying, so the students are skeptical of Lockhart's ridicule. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
"I don't like either of them. Ron snorted, "So I'm hoping they can fight it out." ā
Lockhart and Snape stood at opposite ends of the stage, turned to face each other, and bowed. At least Lockhart bowed, his hands flipping in a lot of tricks, and Snape just bowed his head impatiently. Then, they held their respective wands to their chests like swords.
"As you can see, we hold our wands in a normal duel position. Lockhart said to the silent crowd, "Count to three, and we'll do the first magic together, and of course, neither of us will take the other's life." ā
Al was very dismissive of this type of duel, this kind of duel was only suitable for formal occasions, he was a person who had been on the battlefield, and if he had used this method on the battlefield, he would have died many times, because the enemies on the battlefield would not tell you any rules.
"One...... Two...... Three ......"
As soon as Lockhart's words fell, he and Snape raised their wands over their shoulders at the same time, and in the midst of a 'Remove your weapon', a dazzling red light suddenly flashed, and Lockhart was knocked unsteady on his feet. He slammed backwards off the stage, slammed into the wall, and then slid down, curled up on the floor.
The crowd erupted in low laughter, and even Malfoy and a few other Slytherin students took the lead in applauding.
Although he had foreseen that Lockhart would lose, Al really didn't expect him to be so miserable, except for your weapon, Al has also used it, but none of the enemies who have been hit by this move can be knocked so far away like Lockhart!
Lockhart staggered to his feet, his hat dropped, his wavy sideburns standing on end, and he no longer looked as handsome as he had been.
"Well, everybody sees!" Lockhart said crookedly back onto the stage, "it's a disarming spell...... As you can see, I lost my wand......"
ā...... Yes, Professor Snape, it's a brilliant idea that you've shown them this trick, but don't mind if I say that, your intention is obvious. Lockhart showed his trademark white teeth, "If I want to stop you, I don't have to do anything, I think it's for the sake of their knowledge, that's why I'm going to let them see ......"
"Compared to these ......," Snape said flatly, staring coldly at Lockhart, "...... Maybe it's wiser to teach the students how to resist the curse first, Professor. ā
Perhaps sensing the displeasure on Snape's face, Lockhart hurriedly changed the subject.
"That's a great suggestion. Lockhart looked around at the crowd and said, "Alright, that's the end of the demonstration......! and Weasley!"
Harry and Ron looked at each other, and were about to step onto the stage when Snape spoke again.
"Weasley's wand can cause disaster even with the simplest spell. Snape said, "I'm afraid we'll have to use a matchbox to get Potter to the hospital." ā
"Can I recommend someone from my house?" Snape spread his hands, then pointed behind him, "Malfoy!"
Malfoy stepped onto the stage with a smug smile on his face and walked in front of Harry.
Almost everyone in the school knew that Malfoy and Harry didn't deal with each other, so the duel between the two of them was destined to be a good show.
"Face your partner!" Lockhart shouted, "Bow!"
Harry and Malfoy didn't even nod their heads, just stared at each other intently. Before this duel began, the smell of gunpowder was already full.
"Raise your wand and get ready!" Lockhart continued, "and when I count to three, I'll use my magic to disarm the opponent's weapon...... Remember, just disarm, we don't want any accidents!"
"One...... Two...... Three ......"
Harry jerked his wand over his shoulder, but Malfoy had already done so before he counted to 'two'.
"The world is spinning!"
A faint light struck Harry at great speed, and as if he had been hit by a car, Harry spun several times in the air before falling to the stage.
Malfoy smirked, but before he could be happy, Harry scrambled to his feet, pointed his wand at Malfoy, and shouted unexpectedly, "Grinning hula!"
Malfoy was struck in the stomach by Harry's spell, and then flipped around in the air a few times and fell at Snape's feet.
Snape frowned, picked Malfoy up, and pushed him back in front of Harry.
"I said, just disarm!" Lockhart shouted at Malfoy and Harry, but no one paid any attention to him.
Malfoy quickly raised his wand and shouted, "Oolong out of the hole!"
With a 'bang', I saw a long black snake suddenly appear on the stage, it raised its head, spit out snake letters, and crawled straight towards Harry.
The snake, which seemed to be born to bring fear to people, screamed and quickly dodged backwards, lest it would attack them, and even Harry involuntarily took several steps backwards.
"Don't move, Potter. Snape said lazily, apparently seeing Harry retreating, thinking he couldn't handle the snake, "I'll help you get it away......
"Let me come, Professor Snape!" Lockhart interjected, then raised his wand and shouted at the snake, "Soar!"
However, after being hit by Lockhart's spell, the snake not only did not disappear, but instead jumped up more than two meters high and fell back to the stage again. It raged, hissing and spitting letters, and crawled straight for one of its closest classmates.
Looking at the black snake's raised head and exposed fangs, the student stood there motionless as if he was frightened.
At that moment, Harry suddenly moved his legs and took two steps forward, his mouth opened and closed, and a strange sound came out of Harry's mouth.
It wasn't any language Al had ever heard, it was like a whisper, but to Al's surprise, the snake seemed to understand, and it turned to look at Harry, then looked up at the student and took an attacking stance.
The Great Hall was silent, except for Harry's whispers and the hissing of the snake as the people watched in horror.
Snape stared at Harry with a meaningful gaze, and a few seconds later, he pointed his wand at the black snake, ending the farce.
"The snake is gone!"
