Lockhart appeared to be in a good mood after winning, even though he was still injured.

"Again, how about that?" Snape was obviously not convinced.

Lockhart accepted it as soon as he saw it, and decisively rejected him: "It's enough for us to demonstrate once. It's best for the students to do the demonstration next."

"What's that strapped to your arm?" Snape asked, looking at the metallic sheen under his forearm.

"A little device for ejecting a wand...but I didn't use it today."

Lockhart withdrew his wand as he spoke, then saluted the students who began to cheer.

"Thank you, thank you! Who can help me get a large school robe. This robe is so damaged that it looks like it can't be repaired with a repair spell. It's lilac, my favorite one...Miss Fawcett ,Thank you!"

Although he was still handsome, Lockhart's salute seemed a bit comical due to his lack of clothing, but no one cared about it. The girl who brought the school robe up blushed, lowered her head and shoved the robe into his hand and ran off the stage, almost twisting her foot.

"A very clever tactic! Professor Lockhart must have used the Phonics and Illusory Charms in the fog, and then used Snape's psychological blind spot to rush out from the position he thought was impossible. It's the negative manifestation of the sense of confinement, even though he is also injured..." Hermione explained Lockhart's actions to the two little friends.

But neither Ron nor Harry cared about that.

"Here." Harry hastily pulled out his handkerchief and handed it to Hermione

Hermione took the handkerchief subconsciously, but at the same time was a little puzzled.

"Why do you give me this?" she asked.

Ron pointed to her face: "Wipe your nosebleed, Hermione." It seems that girls of this age are indeed more mature.

Chapter 54 The Savior's Housekeeping Skills - Removing Your Weapons

While the students were still talking about the duel, Lockhart quickly put on his clothes, wiped his face, and used his bird snake egg yolk conditioner to take care of his hair.

The head can be broken, the blood can flow, and the demeanor cannot be lost.

He then underwent a simple treatment before reappearing in the dueling arena with Snape.

"Thanks to Professor Snape's cooperation, I think we have made enough demonstrations just now - everyone should use their own techniques, spells and all available means to subdue your opponents on the duel stage, and try to avoid giving The opponent causes irreversible damage.

As for the spells and skills that Professor Snape and I showed in the duel just now, I don't want to talk about it now. You can think about it after you go back. If you don't understand, you can go to Professor Flitwick or McGonagall in class. The professor asked. I just want to say one thing - in order to take care of the viewing experience of the duel, we have not moved the real thing, I hope you don't think that this is the whole of the duel.

Well, let's get down to business, I believe that most of the people who have obtained the membership of the Duel Club "Internal Beta" are already here. I would like to invite two students to the stage to demonstrate. I think the duel between them may be more typical. It's good that the two have experience in duels. Mr. Diggory, you..."

Snape had been silent for a while after the duel failed, acting as a wooden man, and only interjected when he heard this.

"I don't think the senior classmates need to demonstrate, because they have learned a lot of spells. If they can cast silent spells, then their duels can't play a role in demonstrating. Mr. Potter, and Mr. Malfoy. ...how do you see 0"

Seeing that Snape had a look like if you didn't promise we'd have another match right away, Lockhart decided not to take Snape's cues on such a trivial matter.

"Good idea, both of them are the top Seekers among the students, their physical agility and coordination are far better than the two of us, and with their current level of magic, it is difficult to cast a curse that hurts people, I believe in their duel Something new for us," Lockhart said.

Harry knew that sooner or later he wouldn't be able to escape this hurdle - he could not have come to the dueling club, but it was because of Lockhart's invitation, and because Ron had been encouraging him to duel Malfoy after he knew about it, and There were also a lot of Weasleys' little curses.

"You've seen the slug spell, and there's the bat spirit spell—it turns Malfoy's nose hairs into giant bats, and they come out of his nose. If you're not satisfied, I've got a wrinkle here. ear curse..."

Although Ron gave Harry a lot of confidence, he had to admit that whether it was Snape's threat, Lockhart's hope or Ron's instigation, they could only be regarded as external causes to Harry.

Only he knew the real reason he had come to a duel - it was to beat Malfoy so hard to get revenge for the last time Malfoy called Hermione a "mudblood"

And from Malfoy's eyes, he could see that the other party must have come with the same purpose.

"Come on, come and stand here! Put on your helmet or hood, and put on the contact lenses and protective clothing I gave you..."

Draco Malfoy looked at the old protective suit and seemed a little disgusted

"It's ugly. Can I leave the cape? He can't hurt me anyway," he said to Lockhart.

Lockhart refused without hesitation: "No, to your juniors.

That said, sometimes misused and mispronounced spells are more dangerous.

If anyone accidentally blows up the other party's little Tintin with magic like explosion.ooh, I can only tell you that although Madam Pomfrey is good at healing, she is a very decent woman, so it is not very Proficient in all "that' shapes, there's a good chance the new one will be different from yours..."

Harry and Malfoy both felt inexplicably cold in the roar of laughter from the students in the audience

They did not raise any objections, put on protective clothing obediently, and carefully checked the protection of vital parts.

"I'll have to get Dad to come up with some new ones."

Looking at the slightly dull dragon skin on the protective suit, Malfoy muttered softly.

He was about to take the stage, but was pulled by someone before he came on stage:

"Draco, come here."

Snape took Malfoy aside and began to speak to him.

His bottom line is that as long as Harry doesn't get seriously injured, in addition to that, Snape is happy to make Harry suffer a little, because it gives him a feeling of revenge on James O Potter - who made Harry Li and his father look alike.

Seeing that Snape had temporarily opened a small stove for Malfoy, Harry thought it would be a lie if he didn't panic.

In his opinion, Malfoy and Snape must be on the list of the 5 people in the world who hate him the most about Harry Potter. When they got together, it was either how to embarrass themselves or **** themselves.

He immediately turned his eyes to Lockhart for help, meaning he hoped he could teach himself both hands. Since Lockhart had just defeated Snape (in Harry's opinion), then Lockhart's teaching must be better than Snape's.

Lockhart couldn't help laughing when he saw him staring at him.

"Don't worry, even if Professor Snape is willing to temporarily teach Mr. Malfoy some advanced black magic, Mr. Malfoy will not be able to learn it in just a few breaths, at most a little trick or one or two small evils. Curse," he said to Harry.

Harry's nervousness didn't ease. "So, can you teach me a little curse?"

"…absolutely okay."

Lockhart realized that he had made a mistake just now—that he failed to get Snape to finish reading Mangyu your weapon. If the famous savior finally failed to learn his own housekeeping skills, then Lockhart's sin But it's too big.

"...that's it, use the wand to draw a right angle in the air from left to right, then top to bottom - once you're proficient, you can do it with a quick arm swing, and the spell is (Expelliarmus, J, yes" expel ' and 'weapon' are two Latin derivations, the accent is on the second sound... Do you understand? The effect is to disarm all the weapons in the target's hand. If there is anger in the mood, then an additional knock-up effect will be added. ."

In order to make up for his mistakes, Lockhart this time was a nanny-style teaching. He read every detail of the disarming spell, and tried to lay a good foundation for the savior.

However, Lockhart is obviously thinking too much. No matter how brilliant Harry and Malfoy are in the future, they are only two second-year students. Even if they temporarily learned some small curses from their respective channels, their level is still the same.

And the next "duel" like a farce really proved that Lockhart's conjecture was true.

Chapter 55: The Beginning of the Mage Melee Flow

It might be because the spell was a natural fit for him, or it might be because the enemy was imminent, and Harry learned the spell so fast that after the first test, a red light appeared on the wand.

"It worked!" Harry said happily.

Because they were doing it in the corner, Lockhart was blocking it with his body, and outsiders couldn't see it at all.

Lockhart was also a little surprised: uh, very good, if you are more confident in your own skills, you can try to keep an eye on the movements of Mr. Malfoy's wand, dodge his movements at medium distance, and then use the magic spell to counterattack . If you want to put more pressure on him, you can also try to approach him actively..."

"Why?" Harry asked curiously.

Because you Gryffindor abounds in melee combat, Lockhart said.

Not to mention that Gryffindor, the founder of the academy, is a master at using swords, and Sirius and Lupin's melee combat performance is far better than that of spell duels. If you count the generation of "Juggernaut" Neville, it will be even more.

If you consider that Harry defeated Quirrell by hand-to-hand combat, and killed Tom's diary with his fangs, the Triwizard Tournament is also rampant with various physical skills... It can only be said that the little lions are even high on the development and use of their bodies. Because of the spell, Hermione was an outlier.

"Increase the enemy's forced errors." Lockhart didn't explain too much. "And the first spell in the opening is as short as possible. It's just to buy time for you to recite the second spell, understand?"

Seeing Harry's expression, he seemed to understand Lockhart's words as "intimidating Malfoy"

"I see, Professor."

After a while, Harry and Draco stood on the stage one after another, raised their wands, and began to salute each other under Percy's instructions.

As they approached, Malfoy lowered his voice and squeezed a word between his teeth.

■

■

"It's too late to admit defeat, I won't embarrass you too much."

"Dream!" Harry replied through gritted teeth.

The two waved their wands forward at the same time, and neither of them bowed, so they stood at opposite ends of the dueling arena.

Just as Percy finished reading the rules of the game and started shouting the countdown, Malfoy didn't wait for him to finish shouting "three", but shouted directly at Harry.

"Spiders!

Several spiders suddenly ejected from the tip of Malfoy's wand, slid through the air and fell to the ground.

This was Snape's new strategy - no matter whether Harry would use the Flying Charm like Lockhart to take the lead, seven or eight spiders would pop up to form a barrage, and surely no spell would hit Malfoy.

Harry didn't have time to accuse the other side of rushing, and he didn't hear Percy's "Mr. Malfoy, your violations will invalidate your score in this game", but subconsciously let the little trick he prepared.

"Avis!"

With the crack of the tip of Harry's wand, five or six birds flew from the tip of his wand into the sky.

Seeing this scene, Snape frowned.

Although there was no pre-appointment, Harry and Draco's opening strategies were very similar: they both used summons to disrupt their opponents while making time for their next spell.

between.

Tsk... That guy Lockhart doesn't seem to be hiding anything. Snape said heartily.

But he didn't know that it was just Harry's self-assertion - he just instinctively cast the shortest spell he knew.

Not to mention the thoughts of everyone present, the situation on the field is still developing

The birds that were summoned by Harry just flew out from the tip of the stick, and they found the spiders crawling on the ground not long after they flew. They were overjoyed and jumped straight down. They took the spiders in their mouths and swallowed them. down.

There was a burst of laughter from the audience—the opening was so comedic that the audience couldn't help but laugh.

Although I had already eaten the big dish just now, the duel between the little wizards was not a dessert after a meal, so everyone still did not disperse.

Now it looks like they're on the right track.

Malfoy and Harry were also caught off guard by the unexpected situation, but they didn't have much time to hesitate. And looking at the appearance of those birds, they don't seem to have any intention to lift off again in a short time, and they shouldn't hinder anyone anymore.

Harry made a decisive decision and immediately used the spell Lockhart had just taught: Mang Yu_Bu Kou Kou I"

Wu Fei!

Malfoy's reflexes weren't too slow either, he was a Seeker anyway, and Snape had just taught him a trick.

"Langlck!" Malfoy also called out, pointing his wand at Harry.

Snape was inspired by the fight he had just had with Lockhart - neither Harry nor Malfoy were in sixth grade yet, and neither could Silent Charm, so it was only necessary to keep each other speechless and they could do nothing. .

So he turned the tongue-locking spell he invented when he was in school (the Half-Blood Prince's Potions Class)

It is recorded in this book) to teach Draco o Malfoy, as for the spell "silent", Draco's current academic ability is likely to be unable to quickly, so it was automatically ignored by Snape.

It's just a tongue-locking spell, so that it won't cause any substantial damage to Harry, and you can see that James O. Potter's face is tongue-tied, unable to spell, and embarrassing in public, which is extremely insulting. When teaching Malfoy the spell, Snape felt like a genius.

The two little devils cast spells at each other. If Voldemort and Harry are targeting Bo at this moment, then the two spells will probably be linked together and become a flashback spell.

But Malfoy's and Harry's wands were not brothers' wands, so after the two spells were intertwined, they both bombarded the opponent's body firmly.

Malfoy was staggered, and the wand in his hand flew up and down, landing in the middle of the arena.

And Harry suddenly found that his entire tongue was stuck to his upper gourd, so that he couldn't utter a single spell.

Although Malfoy was disarmed, he also knew that Harry couldn't recite the spell at this time, and quickly stabilized his body and went to pick up his wand.

Seeing his actions, Harry knew something was wrong. If he asked Malfoy to retrieve his wand, then he would have to let the other party do what he couldn't spell, and the end would probably not be worse than being sent a roaring letter in public. .

So Harry simply moved.

He took three steps and two steps, stomping on Malfoy's wand before him, and punching Malfoy in the face.

The 12-year-old kid didn't have much strength. Malfoy just whined after being punched, and then, not to be outdone, jumped up again and got into a ball with Harry.

Chapter 56 Farce Ending

Harry and Draco punched each other, it was really a new hatred and old hatred together, and neither of them kept their hands.

The bird that had just finished eating the spider was standing on the ground to digest it, but it was startled by the tumbling action of their scuffle.

Because the esophagus of birds is relatively short, after eating the spider, they immediately have the desire to excrete. At this time, the two were surprised, and they were eager to remove all the thin excrement that affected their body weight.

The rain of bird feces suddenly drenched the heads of two little devils—Harry's cocked glasses were covered with yellow and white bird feces, and Malfoy's mouth was also poured—a fishy thing got in. .

Even though they were so embarrassed, the two were still fighting. Rather than being drenched in bird poop, it's more important to slap the face of the person in front of you out of ketchup.

Seeing this, Lockhart and Snape had to intervene.
