Neville, who was named by Lohar, looked confused.

I'll just come over to watch a play, what's the matter with me?

Seeing Neville's lack of response, Lockhart thought he was scared, so he comforted, "Don't be afraid, young man. I'm not going to be heavy-handed. ”

'It's too reluctant to deal with the professor, but this time it's definitely okay. Lockhart thought.

It was not for nothing that he chose Neville, Neville is a member of the disciplinary group, first of all, he is naturally famous, but in fact, he must not be too strong in strength, according to Lockhart's intelligence, this little wizard called Neville Longbottom is a very cowardly, crying guy, easy to deal with the key and very obedient, very suitable for himself to use as a 'test textbook'.

Not. His source was Gryffindor's Seamus was a year ago.

As for Neville's first-year final grades, he didn't think about it at all

What's so unusual about the sixth grade, he Lockhart was the first in the Ravenclaw grade when he was a student.

In fact, he also considered Harry, and the whole Hogwarts is Harry Potter in terms of fame. But he didn't dare to try it lightly, what if Potter was really strong? The rumors from Slytherin's side that Lockhart still took it very seriously, and being defeated by Snape's spell could be explained by a demonstration, and if he was defeated by a second-year wizard, he would lose his face, even if he was the famous Harry Potter.

He is here to earn popularity and attention, not to find shame.

Lockhart didn't want others to step on his fame.

It's all about pitching to earn gold gallons.

Of course, it would be nice if we could sell shampoo along the way.

"Come on, come up and face to face with me." Lockhart walked over and nudged Neville, but found that he didn't.

Look, my body stiffened with tension. As long as you come to power, you won't be at your own disposal? With a little demonstration, you can attract a lot of attention again. ’

He hurriedly pushed Neville onto the stage.

Neville and Lockhart?

The members of the disciplinary team all looked strange.

Perhaps Neville was the least appreciated member of the disciplinary group in the eyes of outsiders, and was purely a one-of-a-kind group.

As Neville himself said, he doesn't like to be in the limelight, he is an outlier among Gryffindors, and he is also one of the entire discipline group who likes to keep his head down, constantly exercising, constantly absorbing knowledge, and constantly practicing spells.

But if you think Neville is a bully, you're very wrong.

His progress is visible to the naked eye, and the whole team is sure to see it.

Not only the discipline group, but even Snape and Flitwick have strange faces, they have all made up lessons for Neville, maybe Neville's talent is not the best, but he is the most down-to-earth and hardworking, the whole person seems to be holding back a lot of energy, and he is improving all the time.

"First things first, bow Neville. Very good" Lockhart, who was standing on the same stage as Neville, taught the other party very patiently, and in his eyes Neville was already nervous at this time.

Don't mention how happy you are.

That's right.

After a while, it's time to play on your own.

The two held their wands upright on their chests.

And then

One, two, three

As Flitwick's words fell, Neville and Lockhart raised their wands at the same time again.

"Look, like this"

"Except for the Weapon"

The words of the two shouted almost at the same time, but Lockhart still wanted to continue to pretend, and instructed Neville how to use the disarming charm to save the face he had just lost from Snape.

Just like Snape, the red glow reappeared.

With a whoosh, Lockhart flew upside down, flying off the stage as before—slamming against the wall—slowly sliding—hunching—curling up in a ball, flowing without a hint of dragging.

Quiet.

The audience was silent

Everyone stared blankly at the scene in front of them, their mouths slightly open to show their shock.

At this moment, the space seemed to be pressed the pause button.

Is this still the same Longbottom who stuttered even when he spoke?

Like Professor Snape, a spell defeated Professor Lockhart?

"Longbottom's spell just now."

"Like Professor Snape."

It took a long time for the young wizards to slowly begin to discuss.

Without a hint of hesitation, he released the disarming spell!

Obviously he is in the second grade, why can he be so proficient?

"Longbottom joined the disciplinary group."

The Slytherin student whispered.

"I knew that. Often with Mr. Potter, Mr. Dursley, and Miss Granger, Longbottom must have secretly studied with them. ”

"Even if you learn a little bit from them, you can use them for a long time."

"There is an old saying in the old East that if you stay with a pig for a long time, you will turn red."

The little wizards around him looked relieved.

I don't quite understand what that last sentence meant, but if it was Mr. Dursley, it would be true.

Well-founded and convincing.

But on second thought, Longbottom can do this, so if it were them, wouldn't it?

Many young wizards looked at Dudley, their eyes burning again.

There's no one who doesn't want to be good.

Longbottom was so lucky that he was favored by the disciplinary team.

"Apparently Professor Lockhart wasn't ready, it was Longbottom who made a sudden move."

Witnessing the one-sided battle again, Lockhart's supporters are still supporting him and trying to find excuses to comfort themselves, stubborn like a stone in the toilet.

"Come on, they're dueling. It's not a child's house, do you have to shout before releasing the spell, are you ready? ”

"Besides, both Longbottom and Professor Lockhart have already bowed, which means it's already begun."

Lockhart's opponents immediately retorted.

Lockhart supporters: "Poor professor. He's fainted, what else are you going to do? ”

Don't listen to Wang Ba's recitation.

Anyway, it's impossible for them to admit that idols are too wasteful.

Lockhart's opponents: "."

Okay, you cow!

As for Lockhart himself, this time he didn't get up from the ground again, and he didn't know how to explain it because he was so thick-skinned that fainting at this time was the best option.

Careless no flash?

Pick another one?

What if you lose again?

Since you can't find a way, let's continue to play dead.

It doesn't matter if he's really dizzy or fake, he's dizzy anyway.

Someone will make up for it and explain it to him.

"Professor Lockhart must have been injured too badly from the spell test just now, and now that his body can't support it, he has fainted, and we should send him to Madam Pomfrey immediately."

You see.

A few senior wizards picked up Lockhart and walked towards the school doctor's office.

I don't know if they did it intentionally or unintentionally, but his head was tilted to the side when he was holding him, and as he passed by the side door, Lockhart's head hit the edge of the door.

The dull sound of crashing was heard in everyone's ears.

"Lighter guys!"

Lockhart's supporters complained.
