084. Duel Club, in progress
Seeing Snape's victory, the Slytherins began to applaud.
The group of "Lockhart Girls" covered their mouths and looked at Lockhart on the ground with concern, and some people scrambled to pick up his wand.
Lockhart stood up stubbornly, his hat gone, and his curly blond hair stood on end.
"Okay, have you seen it?"
He adjusted his facial expression and staggered back onto the stage.
At the same time, he began to explain aloud what had just happened.
Professor Snape cast the Disarming Charm...... Caused me to lose my wand...... Oh, thank you, good girl. ”
He reached out and took his wand from a girl.
Scott looked at this scene and had to admire Lockhart -
Top expression management ability, love for performance from the heart, and the consciousness of never going off the stage easily......
If those idol stars in their previous lives had the spirit of Lockhart, they would not have been complained about their poor business ability.
On stage, Lockhart had turned to look at Snape.
He deliberately said in a mocking tone, "Oh, Professor Snape. I gotta compliment you, it's a good idea to show this spell. But...... Don't you mind if I say that......"
His wand-holding hand played several tricks.
"Your intention to do this is obvious, I mean...... I can easily stop you. But I think it's better to let them see ...... in order to increase their knowledge."
But Snape clearly didn't buy his boastful performance, and just looked at him coldly.
It wasn't until Lockhart looked embarrassed again that Snape lifted his robe and turned to look at the students again.
"Next, you can give it a try." His gaze wandered through the crowd, "Divide yourself into groups, and of course, I'll give advice." ”
"I'll help too." Lockhart scrambled to say.
Next, the two professors began to weave through the crowd.
Scott looked at his roommates.
However, all three of them turned away from him in an instant, and used their best speed to find their practice partners.
“……”
Scott cursed and continued to look at the rest of Ravenclaw.
The others didn't know him as well as his roommates, so he quickly found someone to practice with.
Fifth grade male prefect, Ethan Cooper.
"Are you sure you want to challenge me, Scott?" Ethan asked, somewhat surprised, "I mean, I'm in fifth grade." ”
"It's just practice." Scott said calmly.
"Okay." Ethan looked at Rimbaud on Scott's shoulder again, "But...... You're going to duel with a pet? ”
Scott turned to look at Rimbaud.
He is not prepared to expose the truth about Rimbaud in public.
"Go, Rimbaud, go back to the dormitory." Scott whispered.
Rimbaud quacked twice, rubbed his face, and flew away.
Ethan nodded in satisfaction.
Neither Snape nor Lockhart had any comments on the Scott and Ethan group.
Snape only forcibly intervened with some of Gryffindor's choices.
For example, Harry and Malfoy, two bitter rivals who hate each other, are brought together.
Once everyone had divided into groups, Snape was back on stage.
"Now, face your opponents." He commanded, "Bow." ”
Scott and Ethan did so.
"Raise your wand and get ready." "Count to three and get moving. ”
Scott raised his wand.
"One, two, three."
"Except for your weapons."
Ethan's wand glowed red.
Scott took a step back, unhooked his cloak and threw it in the air, casting a transfiguration spell on it.
Ethan's disarming spell slammed into his cloak with a crisp crashing sound.
The once soft cloak had become stiff, reflecting a metallic sheen in the red light.
Scott took advantage of Ethan's astonishment to cast another Transfiguration spell.
The cloak that had changed to metal changed again.
It flowed through the air like water, taking the form of a monster, and pounced on Ethan with its teeth and claws.
Ethan, who could be a superior, was also an excellent student, and he quickly put away his stunned emotions and cast an iron armor spell.
"Protego!"
But he miscalculated this time.
The "monster" had smoothly bypassed the invisible wall formed by the Iron Armor Spell and wrapped around his body.
"I didn't expect ......"
The trapped Ethan looked at Scott in surprise, as if he didn't recognize him.
"I've heard you're a Transfiguration genius for a long time, but I didn't expect you to be able to do it to this extent."
Scott understood what he meant.
Change the material first, then change the form and action mode.
This is a superposition of two Transfiguration Spells.
Anyone who understands will understand that this is much more difficult than a single Transfiguration Charm.
"You were careless."
Scott smiled kindly and waved his wand again.
The "monster" that was wrapped around Ethan flowed again.
It flew back behind Scott like a black stream of water, then turned into a cloak and draped over his shoulders.
Scott raised his hand to fasten the clasp of his cloak.
By this time, the surrounding Ravenclaws had stopped their duels and were looking at him in amazement.
Scott smiled and bowed.
He straightened up and looked around the auditorium, and saw that many places were in disarray.
Especially those who were grouped into a group of Gryffindors and Slytherins, many of whom even threw away their wands and started hand-to-hand combat.
"O Merlin! Stop it! ”
Lockhart jumped around the crowd in a hurry.
"Stand up...... Take care...... Oh! Pinch hard, you need to stop the bleeding......"
But no one listened to him.
"Stop!"
It wasn't until Snape's voice rang out that the students finally stopped.
But many people were lying on the ground panting.
"It's not going to work, it's so unfriendly!"
Lockhart ran back to the stage and said to Snape, "Severus, we have to stop this...... I mean, we can get a group of students on stage to demonstrate. ”
Snape tugged at the corners of his mouth noncommittally.
"Potter and Malfoy, how's it going?" Lockhart proposed.
"Not good, Professor Lockhart."
Snape stared coldly at the bottom of the stage, where Harry and Malfoy, who had lost both ways, were lying on the ground staring at each other.
"They're just second-year students, and they'll just take turns throwing curses at each other." Snape commented, "This level is not exemplary. ”
At this point, he suddenly raised his head and looked at Scott with precision.
“……”
Scott instantly had an extremely bad premonition.
"Mr. Trollope."
Listening to Snape's characteristic tone pronounce his name, Scott felt a pang of discomfort.
"Ravenclaw's Transfiguration genius?" Snape smiled sarcastically, "Come up and let everyone see if you live up to your name." ”
Scott could sense Snape's malice towards him.
He knew that the last incident was not so easy to pass - the Slytherin Chamber of Secrets, Snape obviously knew the inside story.
Scott's vicious "message" posted on the wall, while aimed at Voldemort, would also make the Slytherins uncomfortable, and their dean would hold a grudge against him.
"Come up." "Or is our genius just in name?" Snape urged. ”
"Go, Scott."
"Let them take a good look."
The surrounding Ravenclaws also began to encourage.
Scott looked at his partner, Ethan.
Ethan looked hesitant.
"No, Mr. Cooper isn't a good fit." Snapp exclaimed, "I'll pick a suitable opponent for the talented. ”
Scott sighed helplessly, knowing that he couldn't escape.
"How about picking me! Professor! ”
"Or choose me!"
At this moment, Fred and George took the initiative to raise their hands.
But Snape ignored them.
"Strilna."
He gestured to someone in Slytherin.
"Come up."
"Yes, Professor."
The other party immediately stepped forward.
Scott narrowed his eyes.
Idrik Strier, 7th grade.
Scott's impression of him was that he once tried to destroy the "messages" on the wall, and boldly questioned Dumbledore in public at the dinner party after the "Secret Room Incident".
Also, Eddie has said that he has a short temper in private.
By this time, Strier had already strode onto the stage and looked at Scott with a sneer.
"Trollope? Talented? ”
His tone was disdainful.
