Pushed open from the other side of the auditorium, Lockhart walked in dressed like a peacock in his fuchsia robe.

Behind him were two figures, one tall and one short, Professor Snape and Professor Flitwick, dressed in black robes as usual.

"Come around, come around! Can everyone see me? Can you hear me? That's great! ”

Lockhart shouted at the top of his voice, obviously as a wizard, he could actually use the sound reinforcement magic of 'loud voice'.

"I think you should all learn how to duel in case you need to defend yourself one day, and of course I've used countless different ways to defend myself, so you can learn from that. If you want to know more about it, please look at my published works."

This is followed by a lengthy introduction to his work.

Maybe he was suppressed too hard by "Dragon Lance Chronicles", and now Lockhart spares no effort to sell him as soon as he seizes the opportunity.

I have to say that this trick is still somewhat useful.

It's one thing for the book itself to be of excellent quality, but it's also important to publicize and recommend it.

Professor Snape listened impatiently before Lockhart continued, "Then I'll teach you how to duel in the first lesson of the day. ”

At this moment, Ron's expression was as if he was constipated.

He was right.

Look at my mouth, I can learn a from this thing. ’

"Ahem, first of all, let me introduce my assistants, Professor Snape and Professor Flitwick," Lockhart said, grinning a little and showing his 'no-brain' teeth, "Professor Snape told me that he knew a thing or two about duels, and he generously agreed to help me give a little demonstration before class. I mean, I don't want you little ones to worry - I'll give you back your potions teacher intact when I'm done showing him, don't be afraid! ”

"Of course, there's also our Professor Flitwick, who is responsible for guiding us during the duel and explaining the precautions of the duel, in fact, I can do it myself, but I think you need an explanation to make sure you don't miss every detail. Hey, guys, don't look at him small, but there is a lot of energy in this small body, he was a duel champion when he was younger, although he is still a little bit worse than me, if you want to know how good I am, then please read my work carefully."

After saying a few words of holding and stepping on the road and selling them, the faces of the two professors were as black as the bottom of the pot.

Dudley clearly saw that several times Snape raised his wand slightly and then forcibly lowered it, and looked at Lockhart with a very unfriendly look, even Professor Flitwick, a good-natured honest man, grabbed his wand, but the peacock seemed to not see it.

Offended two powerful wizards in one go, I really don't know if you were careless or deliberate, or if you were intentional and careless?

Lockhart and Snape stepped onto the gilded stage, and they turned to face each other and bowed.

This is the basic etiquette before the start of a wizard's duel, and Professor Flitwick has also briefly explained this here, regarding the precautions for the basic etiquette of the duel.

However, Lockhart is not a peaceful master, and his two hands turn a lot of tricks, attracting the attention of many young wizards.

And this action is still quite handsome with his image, Dudley can hear many little witches muttering to nymphomaniacs there, what 'really handsome', 'charming' and so on.

Is it really handsome?

Dudley looked Lockhart up and down, he really didn't know what it was to be handsome.

It's just that face that can barely be related to handsome.

Or is it because these little witches don't have much knowledge and haven't seen many handsome guys.

In all fairness, if Snape dresses up well, especially if he washes his hair and looks concave or something, combined with his own temperament, he is guaranteed to be more handsome than this peacock.

It's a pity.

They held their wands to their chests like arrows.

Just as Professor Flitwick was about to continue, Lockhart's voice interrupted him.

"As you can see, this is the normal duel wand holding position."

Lockhart said and did several movements in a row: "Actually, there is this, this, and this, these are all postures that can be taken during duels, and these are all things I have learned when traveling around the world. Oh, maybe later I'll come out with a book on the history of my duels with me. Everyone is welcome to purchase and learn when the time comes."

It can be seen that he still used dim sum for this duel club, and it may also be to promote the new book.

"When I count to three, Professor Snape and I will cast the first spell. Of course, neither of us will take the other's life. ”

"I think counting to three is what I'm supposed to do, Professor Lockhart." Professor Flitwick interrupted stiffly.

Why did you call me when you could have done it yourself?

"Oh, look at my memory." Lockhart made an apologetic gesture.

"One"

"Two"

"Three"

As Professor Flitwick shouted 'Three', both of them jerked their wands over their shoulders at the same time.

"Except for your weapons!" Snape's cold voice echoed through the Great Hall.

The dazzling red light flashed, and the wand in Lockhart's hand was instantly released, and then the whole person flew off the stage, slammed into the wall, and slowly slid down, hunched over the floor, like a cooked shrimp.

No surprises in the plot, no suspense in the battle.

It's just that I didn't expect it to be so fast, and I didn't even hold on to a spell.

The eyes of the young wizards widened, especially the little wizards who were still supporting Lockhart with a look of disbelief, although Professor Snape was strong, but it was too fast, right?

"He's a professor anyway, and the standard is too bad." Ron didn't even know how to complain.

At least fight a move or two, kill them in an instant, what do you learn?

Learn how to get killed? Or is it more comfortable to learn what position to use to lie on the ground?

"It's pitiful, Professor Snape won't show mercy." Neville opened his mouth rarely: "It should be painful." ”

Of course it hurts, and Lockhart feels like his body is going to fall apart, and it's a matter of 'Except Your Weapon' instead of falling apart, otherwise

Lockhart staggered to his feet, his face dirty, his wavy curls standing on end.

"Everybody saw it!" Lockhart's reaction was very fast, and he immediately thought of how to explain it, and pretended to be relieved by the pain in his body: "This is the power of the disarming charm, I was 'defeated' by Professor Snape." ”

"Actually, Professor Snape's intention just now is very obvious, if I want to stop him, there are at least a hundred ways, and I don't need to do anything."

I pretended I was a deliberate trick.

In a sense, being able to be so thick-skinned is indeed a kind of ability.

Just this far-fetched explanation. There are also people who believe in Lockhart, and that is probably only the love brain

Seeing that Snape's face had a tendency to darken significantly, Lockhart hurriedly said, "This is the end of the demonstration between professors and professors!" Let's move on from a different angle. ”

"So."

Lockhart's mind searched desperately for names, and his eyes first fell on Dudley and then immediately looked away.

'A little famous but not so strong, it's better to borrow someone else's fame.' ’

Thinking so, Lockhart's gaze fell on a little wizard.

"Mr. Longbottom, please come up and show me how."
