"It's a shame I didn't get to see that duel, I think it must be a great matchup."

"But it also gave me an inspiration, and recently I was planning a secret event that I promised to surprise everyone."

Lockhart said this more than once in his class after hearing that Hermione had single-handedly defeated the sixth-year prefect.

He knows how to use public opinion to attract the attention of others to himself, to be precise, he is very good at it

Although in the end, it is often messed up because of various things, and then it becomes sensationalism.

But there's no denying his abilities.

"I guess you're curious to know what it is."

At this point, Lockhart stopped talking and blinked, revealing a row of shiny white teeth.

Seriously, he shouldn't be selling any shampoo, the sales of Potter's special shampoo have always been in an irreplaceable hegemony, and there is no shampoo that can replace it, although Lockhart is really trying to market, but the actual sales are really not good, and only a small number of die-hard fans are willing to pay.

Lockhart's right thing to do is to endorse toothpaste.

Just rush that as if adding special effect teeth is enough.

Lockhart's mysterious appearance really whetted the appetite of many young wizards, he was a professor anyway, although his level was limited, but he was not so boring as to amuse them, but whenever they asked Lockhart, the latter refused to reveal any more information.

"You'll know on Monday morning."

Lockhart said. Continues to maintain a sense of mystery.

On Monday morning, as scheduled, the members of the discipline team returned to the castle after the morning exercise when they suddenly saw a small wizard gathered around the bulletin board, reading the text on a piece of parchment that had just been nailed.

"It should be Lockhart's boring trick." Ron said disdainfully, "This time it's to catch a nest of foxes?" ”

If you want to say that Lockhart is the most unhappy in the disciplinary group, it must be Ron, his mother and sister are die-hard Lockhart book fans, although Ginny has not been so obsessed with Lockhart since he went to Hogwarts and saw the real person crossing, but his mother, Mrs. Weasley, has always been 'chasing stars'.

The Weasleys weren't wealthy, and Lockhart's books were so expensive that the set of Lockhart books at the beginning of the second grade was a big expense, and even a small profit from Ron last year was far from making up for the gap.

What's more, all the money Ron earned was used to buy gifts for his family, and he didn't even get himself a new wand or a pet, he used the same old wand as Neville, except that he used his brother's, and Neville used his father's.

"You may be wrong." Dudley glanced at the contents of the parchment and whispered, "He's done a good thing." ”

"The Duelist Club? Organizer Lockhart? ”

Hermione read the contents of the parchment with a strange expression: "Duel? Lockhart? He? ”

The last word was full of contempt.

Hermione is a little witch who respects her professor, if you have the ability or character to make her respect.

Lockhart said that he could not do it. Character also. Recently, there have been a lot of rumors about him from the senior grades.

Well. The emotional one.

Hermione was working on gathering evidence in this regard, and once it was confirmed, Lockhart was not expelled from Hogwarts, but accused.

WEI MOLESTING UNDERAGE WIZARDS IS NOT A TRIVIAL CRIME, AND IT IS THE SAME IN THE WIZARDING WORLD, EVEN IF YOU DON'T HAVE TO GO TO AZKABAN, YOU HAVE TO GO TO THE WIZENGAMOT.

"Professors Snape and Flitwick agree?" Neville looked down the parchment.

There is also a line of small print below Lockhart, the host, and Professors Snape and Flitwick.

Stand out so much, don't think about it, this notice must have come from Lockhart.

"What kind of Ecstasy did that guy put on the professors?"

Professor Flitwick is said to have been a dueling master in his youth and may have been interested in the Duelist's Club, but Professor Snape is not a man who likes to be boisterous.

Harry knew this very well, and every time he went to his place to make up for it was not a pleasant experience.

"I don't think Lockhart can cast a high-level spell like Ecstasy."

Ron played his role as a complaint: "Maybe he was annoyed before agreeing. ”

"It seems that your brain has opened up, and this may be the closest you've ever come to the truth, Mr. Romeo."

Malfoy sneered mercilessly.

It's basically their day-to-day, Ron is in charge of complaining, Malfoy is in charge of taunting him, and occasionally Harry is interspersed.

"Don't add me any more weird nicknames! Be careful, I'll teach you a lesson tonight, and pluck out your stray hairs. ”

The first gathering of the Duelist Club was tonight.

"This is platinum gold, you uneducated stupid ass."

You say that the other Malfoys will never be angry, and will take advantage of the loopholes in your words to taunt you, but when you mention his hair, he will be 100% furious.

"I'm going to shove your red head in your ass."

"Come on, come on, who's afraid of whom."

"It seems that everyone is in favor of going, so let's get ready for the evening." Dudley nodded, then suddenly raised his voice and said, "Harry." ”

It was a long time before Harry's 'um' reply was heard.

"Recently, when you've been training, you've always looked like you're out of control, often distracted, and absent-minded when talking to you."

"At night you and Neville. Duel alone"

"Let me see if you've improved or regressed in this time."

Dudley was unhappy with Harry's recent state and refused to say anything when asked, which must be problematic.

Neville was arranged because Neville was the most improved during this time.

At eight o'clock in the evening, the long dining table disappeared, and along one wall appeared a gilded stage, illuminated by hundreds of candles floating above. The ceiling was once again dark as velvet, and most of the students came, crowded next to each other, each with their wands in their hands, their faces full of excitement.

"Who will teach us dueling skills in the first class?"

The little wizards chattered and discussed.

"I guess it's Professor Flitwick, who was a dueling champion when he was younger!"

It is usually the little wizards of Ravenclaw who say this.

"It must be Professor Snape, he's one of the strongest wizards I've ever seen."

This is usually what Slytherin said, and he must have been the head of his own house.

Guess anyone's it anyway, and even Gryffindor called out Hagrid.

Ron jokingly said, "It can't be Lockhart himself, right?" ”

Lockhart doesn't even have that self-knowledge.
