After class, Lockhart leaves the classroom, stops Pandora, who is about to leave, and forces her against the wall under the gaze of the passing students, and comes to an unromantic wall knock.

"Honey, listen to me......"

"Explain what? Do you still want to say that this is a rumor? Pandora burst into tears and pushed Lockhart away, she was 1.7 meters tall and had a lot of strength. "Mike showed me the pictures, you kissed her!"

"Is it Cow Mike?" Lockhart suddenly understood that it was Hermione's admirer who was playing tricks, and was furious: I'm going to let him fail this semester!

"What's wrong with him, you still want to kill people?" Pandora's tears flowed from her eyes: "It's a pity that I already know, and many of my classmates also know!"

"No, it's not like that, the atmosphere was better that day......"

"Can you kiss other girls if the atmosphere is better, you can talk so well, can you find a better reason!"

"Good ......"

"Find your Granger!" Pandora tossed the book in her arms at Lockhart, and ran away as he picked it up.

"Stop! The professor is talking to you. Lockhart couldn't think of a word for a while, so he had to move out of his position as a professor.

"Ho!" Pandora didn't look back, "Shut me up, deduct my points?" Professor Lockhart!"

――

was actually photographed, which photographer is so lacking in morality, it's really a day. Trouble after trouble, Lockhart didn't know which one to deal with first.

"Professor, is she still ignoring you?" Hermione walked out of the classroom, "Ignore you, and me." Hermione hugged Lockhart's waist.

"Alas......" Lockhart was distraught and gently pushed Hermione away, "You go back first, take care of Harry, don't let him think nonsense......"

"But......" Hermione was pushed away, a little disappointed, but stubbornly following Lockhart side by side, "Harry always said he heard you and Draco say that...... And an unbreakable oath or something, you must be pretending to help Draco and get information, right......"

"Yes, Mr. Headmaster knows it, don't worry. "Talking about the Order of the Phoenix, Lockhart has no reason to let Hermione go, "What has Harry been up to lately?"

"The Headmaster asked him to ask Professor Slughorn for a memory, but nothing seems to have progressed......"

"Don't be in a hurry, just follow the fate. Lockhart shook his head, he had a bunch of things to do, "Hermione, aren't you going to take a disillusionment class, it's an important survival skill." ”

"Oh, yes, then I'm going to class......" Hermione had already sensed that Lockhart didn't want to talk to herself much, how much weight did Pandora have in his heart, and she left a little sadly.

What should I do, although I have dated a lot of women, but it is the first time that I have been found stepping on two boats like this, and Lockhart, who is completely inexperienced, is troubled by not knowing how to reconcile with Pandora.

――

Lockhart wasn't the only one who was in a mess, and Dumbledore was busy searching for the whereabouts of Huffpuff's Gold Cup and trying to figure out if Ravenclaw's crown had turned into a Horcrux, when he was suddenly challenged by an exotic wizard who appeared out of nowhere.

"Ah, a new Chinese wizard ambassador is going to challenge Dumbledore?" Lockhart, who heard the news, was also a little stunned, "Why, is he very awesome, he wants to show off his power as soon as he comes to England?"

"The headmaster has gone to the open space outside the school, ready to take on the challenge, so let's go over and take a look. ”

――

The Chinese wizard only wanted to fight with the first white wizard in Europe after defeating Scrimgeur, and this news made Lockhart realize the truth, the person who came must be a powerful wizard of the hermit sect - as soon as he saw him, the answer was obvious, the other party was also a white-haired and white-bearded, cyan robe, like an old man with fairy bones, who looked no younger than Dumbledore, and almost wrote the words "top wizard" on his face.

He was accompanied by a translator from the Ministry of Magic, and a bunch of people like Scrimgeour who watched the fun. is different from the imaginary arrogance, the comer politely said that he was just here to learn from the experience, and the battle point will stop at the end of the battle, and it will not hurt the harmony. Dumbledore also modestly offered to see witchcraft in the East. In the presence of Lockhart and a group of people, the two politely began a duel-

Two powerful wizards stood in the clearing, but neither of them made the first move...... As the top figures in their respective spheres of influence, both sides have their own pride, and both disdain to strike first. However, in the eyes of the people next to them, the two were competing in spiritual momentum, and a group of laymen couldn't help but praise that a master is a master.

"Why is there such a ruthless character?" Lockhart asked Scrimgeour depressedly after seeing that neither side was moving, "Are there many wizards like this in China?" ”

"I guess I don't worry about the people below, or maybe I really want to meet the wizards in other places. Scrimgeour whispered to him, "The fighting style is completely different from ours, and it only took one move to defeat me." ”

"One move?"

"A spell, to be exact. ”

――

"Hehe, there is no result in standing like this until the evening. Dumbledore smiled slightly, "You're welcome." Anyway, regardless of whether the other side understood it or not, a white light shot like lightning towards the old Taoist priest on the other side.

For a moment, Lockhart thought Dumbledore had won with one move—the attack was so fast that it was beyond the speed of a normal wizard's reflexes. But the old Taoist priest unequivocally drew a wooden sword, easily blocked the attack, and then swung the wooden sword...... It was a few seconds before everyone heard the violent sound of the attack breaking through the air.

No spell was cast, but the magic power within a radius of kilometers began to surge, and even the clouds in the sky began to gather and hover, forming a huge pattern in the sky above the place where the two were fighting.

This group of hermit wizards like to use powerful spells, and their habit of using powerful spells is really soaked from top to bottom. Of course, Dumbledore couldn't watch the other party gather mana, and with a wave of the elder's wand, the ground quickly cracked and bulged, and an earthen wall rose from the ground, pressing towards the old Taoist, as if to crush the other party into flesh!

The spell of his subordinates did not stop, and the old Taoist priest lightly tiptoed, and his body soared into the air lightly, floating into the air several meters high, dodging the attack of the earth wall.

But Dumbledore's tricks didn't stop there, he lightly shot out another white light, forcing the opponent to swing his sword to block it, and then the earthen wall instantly transformed into a giant hand, reaching out into the air to grab the opponent.

With a "crackle", the other party teleported to a distance of more than ten meters behind Dumbledore, and at this time, his first incantation was also silently recited, and the clouds above the two of them were dense, constantly rolling and roaring, and a thunderbolt pierced the air and slashed towards Dumbledore. Dumbledore was also taken aback, he had lived for more than a hundred years, and he could still escape from the sky for the first time when he encountered an attack, but he was experienced in combat, and he still responded immediately, shot a spell again, and then raised his hand to defend with magic power.

PS: (The difference in the way of fighting between Eastern and Western wizards is an important plot that leads to the setting of the power system of this book, and there has been foreshadowing before, so by the way, ask for recommendation votes...... ）
