Daily Life at Hogwarts

Chapter 597 Too Difficult

Hearing that some students actually proposed to let him duel with Snape again, the muscles on Lockhart's face couldn't help twitching, and he said dryly, "This is the end of the demonstration!"

How to defend against Disarming Curse?
Lockhart naturally knew, but he was not confident that he could use the Armor Curse to block Snape's Disarming Curse, let alone interrupt Snape's spell before Snape used the Disarming Curse.

"Now I'll be among you..." Lockhart was interrupted before he could finish speaking.

"The professor must have a way to counter the Disarming Curse, right!" Another student asked expectantly, this time it was Truman from Hufflepuff who spoke.

This guy also has a lot of grievances against Lockhart now.

No way, last year's Professor Quirrell is fine, at least the other party can teach them a little theoretical knowledge, but what's going on with this Professor Lockhart?

Come to Hogwarts is totally funny!

You are sure that he is really a professor, not a writer wearing a professor title.

The students who were unhappy with Lockhart, or the book fans who hoped that Lockhart could teach Snape a lesson, started booing at this moment, wishing to see another duel.

"Perhaps, you should satisfy everyone."

Snape's stiff cheeks actually evoked a slight smile.

At this moment, Lockhart was like a rabbit being cornered by someone. After hesitating again and again, he still nodded in agreement.

His Iron Armor Charm is sloppy, but at least...maybe...

There was another dazzling red light, and another figure suddenly flew backwards. Everyone was speechless and saw Lockhart who hit the wall and slid down.

Everything is so familiar.

That's right, this scene happened just a few minutes ago.

The only difference is that before being hit by Professor Snape's disarming spell, Lockhart also said "armor protection", although it didn't work.

There was a moment of dead silence, and no one knew who started to applaud, and sporadic applause quickly spread in the auditorium.

Lockhart struggled to get up from the ground. At this moment, he no longer had the confidence and composure he had before, and even the smile on his face seemed a bit forced.

Receiving the signal from Albert's eyes, George immediately pretended to be a newcomer who didn't understand anything, and asked humbly, "Professor Lockhart, what spell did you use just now?"

"George must have done it on purpose," Ron muttered under his breath.

He knew that both Fred and George could use the Iron Armor Curse, and they used it sneakily. Even if they went to fight Lockhart on stage, they might be able to easily defeat their Defense Against the Dark Arts professor.

He really wanted to see this happen.

"I think it's a good idea."

Harry Potter below the stage was particularly happy to see Lockhart deflated.In the first half of the semester, he was often harassed by Lockhart, especially in the Defense Against the Dark Arts class. He was always called up to play various roles, which made him extremely depressed.

Hermione next to him looked very anxious, she was a little worried about Lockhart's situation.

"The spell I used just now was the Iron Armor Curse. Although I couldn't use it successfully, the Iron Armor Curse can rebound the spell, which is very suitable for protecting myself from the threat of the spell." Lockhart straightened his wizard hat, facing Everyone showed a typical smile.

"Professor, is there a way to counter the opponent before the enemy uses the spell." Albert asked.

"This..." The smile on Lockhart's face suddenly froze.

"It's a very high skill."

Snape rolled his eyes at Lockhart and answered the question for him: "You need to predict the opponent's magic in advance. Of course, if the strength gap between the two sides is huge, it can usually be done."

"Okay, the demonstration is over!"

Lockhart interrupted, before Snape could steal the limelight from him: "I'll put you all in teams of two and attempt a duel."

Albert regretted not being able to cause Lockhart any more trouble.

Lockhart soon began to form groups to find someone to fight on stage.

Of course, Lockhart was picked for Harry Potter, and Draco Malfoy was picked by Snape.

The two professors obviously intend to let the two show it in front of everyone.

"Now raise your wand, bow and get ready!" cried Lockhart. "When I count to three, I'll spell disarm."

Malfoy obviously didn't intend to follow the rules, and when Lockhart yelled two, he cast a spell ahead of time to attack Harry Potter.

Before everyone could react, they saw that Malfoy seemed to be hit on the head by something, and he swayed his body and fell backwards.

"Good job Harry!"

The Gryffindor students in the audience shouted excitedly.

However, Harry looked at Malfoy who fell suddenly with a dazed expression, and then looked at his own wand. He didn't do anything yet, how could Malfoy fall by himself.

Is this a conspiracy by the other party?
It doesn't look like it either!
Having said that, shouldn't it be time to cast magic on the fallen Malfoy now? The opportunity is so rare, but doing so seems to violate the morality of the game.

"Tarantella dance!"

Malfoy had raised his wand to Harry's knee, chanting a sneak attack.

In full view, everyone saw that before the spell hit Harry, something seemed to flash in front of Harry.

Then, they saw the Dance Step Charm bounce back, fly over Malfoy's head, and fly towards Snape behind him.

In the end, it was blocked by Snape with a light wave.

"You mean bastard, you're breaking the rules of the game," Harry yelled at Malfoy, who, without hesitation, cast a tickling curse at him, causing Malfoy to collapse on the floor with laughter.

"The spell stops!"

Snape immediately took over and lifted the spell on Malfoy.Then, he looked at Harry with dissatisfaction, and said with a gloomy face: "Mr. Potter, you wear an amulet, right? This has violated the rules of dueling."

"Mr. Malfoy violated the rules of the duel just now. He used magic ahead of time, and in the end he shamelessly attacked me." Harry stared back without showing any weakness.

"Yes, it's really despicable and shameless for Malfoy to chant the curse first without following the rules."

"He insulted the sacred duel."

"Malfoy, get out of here immediately."

Instigated by Lee Jordan, Gryffindor students began to boo, and many students from other colleges also joined in. Who made Slytherin students unpopular in school?
The expression on Snape's face darkened even more.

"Quiet, quiet!" Lockhart yelled.

"Mr. Malfoy's sneak attack in advance violates the dueling rules, and Harry, take off the amulet on your body first, and using the amulet is also against the dueling rules," Lockhart glanced at Snape, and then looked away , and said aloud, "I think I'd better teach you how to stop unfriendly magic."

"Professor, I hope you can teach us yourself."

Lee Jordan felt that this was a good opportunity and began to volunteer. With Lockhart's level, it was not impossible to defeat him.

Of course, his words were directly ignored by Lockhart.

The duel continued, and it was still Harry vs. Malfoy.

The two professors will give them a little advice to make the duel look a little more "friendly".

Of course, that's just what Lockhart thinks, he thinks now is a good opportunity.

A chance to become Harry's teacher.

If Lockhart had considered his abilities carefully, perhaps he would not have such unrealistic thoughts.
