As soon as Snape woke up, he rushed to Dumbledore's office in a hurry.

Now, if he doesn't get these magic materials back, because he has no proof. The Ministry of Magic has never taken the Guardian Mind as evidence, as memories can be modified. But the losses totaling more than 1,000 Galleons had to be reimbursed by a large culprit.

This wronged person must not be himself!

When Snape arrived at the headmaster's office in a rage, he discovered that another peacock was there.

"Wait a minute, Severus." Dumbledore said quietly.

"Good afternoon, Snape." Lockhart smiled in what he thought was charming, which immediately annoyed Snape even more, "Why did you get here?" Could it be that you found out that I was planning to apply to the headmaster to hold a dueling club, so you came over to be my assistant? ”

"Dueling Club?"

Lockhart's words briefly pulled Snape out of his annoyance, followed by a contemptuous gaze that seemed to say, "Just you?" ”

But Lockhart was unaware.

He'd probably thought he'd be the right fit.

"Dumbledore, the situation is serious right now, someone is hurting, I think it's very necessary to hold a dueling club and train everyone enough in case they need to defend themselves one day! Defend yourself in ways I've used countless times - and I'm a member of the Defence Against the Dark Arts Society, and I don't think anyone is better suited than me! ”

He looked at Dumbledore with burning eyes, expecting an affirmative response from Dumbledore.

It didn't take Dumbledore long to agree.

This made Lockhart extremely excited.

"Trust me, you'll be glad you made that decision!" He had a "you're lucky" expression, "Although I promised you to teach this course, the club is not included, this is a small contribution to my alma mater, not every time!" ”

"Thank you so much!" Dumbledore playfully said, "So, the candidate for your assistant, I think, what about Philius?" He was a duel champion when he was younger. Dumbledore highly recommended.

Lockhart's face immediately changed when he heard the word "dueling champion", and he paced back and forth in the office anxiously, but soon he came up with a suitable excuse.

"Fe, Felius...... Although he was really good when he was younger, now, I doubt he can keep up with me. To tell you the truth, if it weren't for the cancellation of the Wizard Duel in England, the current champion might have been me. ”

Hearing this, even Snape thought it was very funny.

At this time, Lockhart's eyes turned to Snape, and he recalled Snape's behavior in school, as if he was often bullied by a few Gryffindors? They were four years apart, and Lockhart wasn't quite aware of Snape's school days. However, I still vaguely remember that there was a student at Slytherin House who didn't like to wash his hair and was often bullied by a few Gryffindors.

In that case, then he must not have any ability!

Also, what can a stinky face refine potions do?

There's no way to get the duel on the set of burning the dry pot!

Thinking of this, Lockhart's eyes lit up, and he immediately used a radical method:

"Professor Snape, you're a- ah, forget it, I'm afraid my powerful magic might hurt you, I'd better think about others."

"You hurt me? Because of the lack of reflection hall—"

Snape laughed angrily, and looked at Lockhart with great displeasure, "It just so happens that I know a thing or two about duels. ”

"That's great!" Lockhart was afraid that Snape would refuse, so he hurriedly rushed forward with an arrow step, and slapped Snape's shoulder with both hands, "That's it, Dumbledore!" With Snape as my assistant, rest assured, I won't let the children's Potions professors get hurt! ”

Snape swept his hand away from his shoulder in disgust, rubbing the back of his hand against his cloak without mercy.

"Now that you've agreed, it couldn't be better." Dumbledore said happily that he was ready to send off, "So, Severus, did you come to me for something?" ”

Snape was drawn back into anger by Dumbledore's words, and he didn't even wait for Lockhart to leave the Headmaster's office.

"I'm going to report a few thieves to you—they stole my potions materials!"

"Thief?" Lockhart, who had almost stepped out of the door of the principal's office, immediately turned in a different direction and strode over, "Looks like my dueling assistant is in a little trouble. But catching thieves is not something I'm bragging—if you've read my writings, you'll know that I've done it countless times. Finding clues and finding the murderer will never stop me! ”

He turned around enthusiastically and spared no effort to take care of the matter.

"Leave it to me, and I can arrest the murderer as soon as tomorrow!"

But neither Snape nor Dumbledore paid any attention to him. They have already completed communication in eye contact.

"The school board will compensate you for your losses." Dumbledore spoke, "Also, pay attention—"

"I don't need to say it, I'll pay attention to her too!" Snape flicked his cloak and turned away.

"What's wrong?" Lockhart was still wondering if Snape hadn't come to ask for help? Why did you leave all of a sudden?

He didn't want to miss any opportunity to be in the limelight, so he hurriedly followed, chattering in Snape's ear: "Honestly Snape, if I go out, I will definitely get the stolen goods!" For the sake of our colleagues, I will help you for free, otherwise it will be another price! Let's go, take me to your office, I have an auto-tracking magic that can be used to find the killer in no time! ”

Snape shuddered at the thought of one of his spells that made Harry's hand bones disappear and heal in reverse, fearing that his spell would blow up all his other potions!

And the thought of Harry's hand bones being taken out made him even more annoyed.

Don't be old to protect that kid, this guy actually dares to let him, Lily's son, get hurt?

You're done, boy!

"Dueling Club - I'll be happy to be your assistant!" Snape laughed cruelly.

(Translation: Wait for death!) ）

But Lockhart was already immersed in the illusion of his own brilliance.

"That's it. We'll do it before Christmas. When the time comes, I may ask you to assist me in making a small demonstration, rest assured, it won't hurt you. We don't use lethal magic, only defensive spells, except for your weapons and armor. Okay, this one is a bit harder, or it's a disarming charm. ”
