The news of the mysterious man's return was so big that Minister Fudge didn't have the heart to take him on a tour and hurried back to the Ministry of Magic with the Aurors.

Dobby, the house-elf, was also brought back with him.

The memories in its mind are estimated to be unable to come back for the time being until they are turned upside down.

As for why he saw Voldemort in his memory, it was naturally Lu Wu's ghost, and he didn't forget to delete the memory of the runes.

It's just that the operation process is too rough, which makes the elf a little crazy now.

Agreeing on a time to go to the Auror Command next time, Rigo rejected the minister's offer to send him back, and instead chose to return to Hogwarts alone.

By the time I got back to the office, it was already evening.

He always felt like he had forgotten something, but he just couldn't remember.

It wasn't until around eight o'clock that Lockhart sent students to find him, and Lu Wu remembered that there was still such a thing as a dueling club.

Follow the Gryffindor student to the Great Hall, where it is already overcrowded.

This auditorium, where the little wizards usually eat, is magical, magnificent, and at the same time very spacious.

A long dining table, a few dozen meters long, was placed in the center, crowded with people, including Harry and his two best friends.

Lockhart is standing on a blue table with a full moon phase, talking and boasting about his legendary past.

Behind him, a huge banner floated in the air, with a text written on it.

Gilderoy Lockhart, an international celebrity and author, a recipient of the Order of the Merlin Order of the Third Class, and an honorary member of the League Against the Black Arts,

Join forces with Duel Master, School Board Terminator, and Defense Against the Dark Arts professor Ryz, to host a dueling club.

There are also photos of two people on each side of the banner.

This pompous decoration style is very much in line with the style of Lockhart's pipe.

If Lu Wu guessed correctly, his photo should be from the liar writer, from the little wizard Colin who loves to take pictures.

The mage was a little dissatisfied with Lockhart's behavior of pulling the tiger's skin as a banner.

So instead of going in, he crossed his arms and leaned against the pillars at the entrance of the auditorium, silently watching the liar writer's hard performance.

But Lockhart saw him at a glance, immediately stopped his boasting, and said loudly: "Ladies and gentlemen! ”

"Next, let me introduce you to a master dueling hidden at Hogwarts."

"That's—Professor Ryze!"

With that, he pointed to the entrance of the auditorium.

The little wizards immediately turned their gaze to the mage and applauded excitedly, and many of them cheered.

Yesterday's defeat of an entire board of trustees by the professor made them almost forget about the horrific attack that had taken place before.

Lockhart pressed his hands together and waited for everyone to be quiet before he continued:

"Professor Ryze, come up and tell you a few words."

The mage said coldly, "No, I'm just here to see, you can continue." ”

Lockhart, who slammed a soft nail, touched his nose in embarrassment.

In fact, he had expected this situation early on, and the reason why he dared to do it was because he found that although the mage was strong, his temper was not very good.

But in front of this group of children, they won't do anything out of the ordinary.

So, he plucked up the courage to gamble, and although he was a little scared now, he finally won the bet and did not get beaten.

Wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, Lockhart pretended to be calm and said, "It's okay, it's okay, Professor Ruiz's level is too high, and you may not be able to understand what he says." ”

"Next, I'll explain it to you."

The liar writer's gaze has never dared to take his eyes off the mage, for fear that if he says something wrong, he will become like Lucius.

Feeling strongly oppressed, he stubbornly continued: "In view of the series of horrific events that have taken place in the past few weeks. ”

"I'm well prepared to train you, maybe one day, you can use it to defend yourself."

"As I've done in countless experiences."

"If anyone wants to know about these exciting experiences, they can refer to my book."

When he came, he did not forget to recommend his own books.

When the young wizards' attention was completely attracted to him, Lockhart untied his ornate cloak that was larger than it actually was and tossed it aside.

"Alright, our classes are about to begin."

"First of all, introduce my assistant, Professor Snape!"

"He agreed to help me do a little demonstration."

The Duel Club must have been to demonstrate how to duel, but the liar author did not dare to fight with the mage, so he had to settle for the second best thing and found Snape, the professor of Potions class.

When Snape walked to the table with a straight face, Lockhart said unashamedly, "Don't worry,"

"After the demonstration, I'll give you back your Potions teacher, safe and sound."

At this time, all the little wizards stared at the two of them intently, looking forward to the next duel.

Lockhart, who was very satisfied with the atmosphere of the scene, also had a serious expression, and stood face to face with Snape.

Then, like fencers, the two raised their wands to their chests and bowed to each other in a formal gesture of respect.

Then the two of them distanced themselves and clenched their wands in an attacking stance.

The whole process was full of ritual, not at all as casual as Lu Wu's duel with Lucius that day.

When everything was ready, Lockhart shouted:

"One!"

"Two!"

"Three!"

The hustler writer was excited and smiling as he read the seconds, clearly enjoying the feeling of being in the limelight.

But as soon as he finished speaking, Snape released a spell at great speed, and chanted the spell aloud in order to take care of the young wizards in the audience.

"Except for your weapons!"

A brilliant yellow beam of light slammed into the unsuspecting Lockhart, sending him flying and slamming onto the table.

No one present expected that the duel between the two would end so simply, and they all looked at Lockhart who fell to the ground with incredible eyes.

Seeing this, the kind-hearted little witch Hermione couldn't help but worry: "Is he okay?" ”

Ron, who had long been dissatisfied with the liar, replied, "Whatever. ”

The rest of the little wizards gloated at the comical scene on stage.

In the face of everyone's doubts, the great writer who is a lie shows a super psychological quality.

He scrambled to get up from his desk and said, "It's good to show them around, Professor Snape." ”

"With all due respect, your aggressive intent is too obvious and easy to be seen."

"It's a piece of cake to stop you."

In a few words, he said that he was deliberately showing weakness if his skills were not as good as others.

Through Snape, who had already found out his imaginary number just now, he decided to save some face for him, and did not take his words, but instead suggested:

"Maybe we should teach the students how to resist those bad spells, Professor."

The implication is that you can't beat me, don't be embarrassed in front of the children.

Lockhart instantly understood what it meant, and forced a smile, "That's a brilliant suggestion, Professor Snape." ”

So, he turned to the little wizards and said, "Let's find a pair of volunteers!" ”

At this moment, a light voice came from the back of the crowd: "Childish duel." ”
