Start with Hinata and travel through the heavens

Chapter 144 Lockhart’s Provocation
Dumbledore felt a little overwhelmed after seeing Lockhart's application.Although Lockhart later performed well, he still firmly believed that Lockhart's ultimate goal in restarting the Wizarding Duel Club was to make himself stand out.

As well as showing off his personal charm, it certainly does not rule out Lockhart's desire to promote his own book.

However, Dumbledore then thought about it and realized that it would be beneficial to open the Wizarding Duel Club again. At worst, he could ask the deans of several other colleges to help Lockhart.

In this way, these little wizards can learn something. At the very least, they can protect themselves if something changes in the future.

When Hinata Hoshino and Hermione got up in the morning and went to the hall to have breakfast, they saw the announcement posted there. The announcement clearly stated that Lockhart was going to open the Wizarding Duel Club again.

All little wizards are invited to participate, and the deans of the four colleges will serve as the secondary leaders of this club.

Hinata Hoshino found it very interesting. His main job during this period was to copy the photo frame, let the wooden clone study the runes, and delve into the power of blood.

Then, besides playing poker with Hermione, he seemed to have nothing to do.

Then Draco saw this announcement and walked directly in front of Hinata Hoshino and started to provoke.

"Did you see that? Foreign country bumpkin, do you know what a wizard duel is?"

"Although I don't quite understand what a wizard duel is, I know that if you keep jumping around in front of me, I can easily turn you into a ferret."

"You..."

Draco obviously wanted to say something else, but his two followers, Goyle and Clara, restrained him.

They took him away forcefully. After all, they should stop this kind of collision. Everyone knows that Hinata Hoshino's strength is unfathomable and he is not their master at all. Draco can go up and try it. .

Night falls.Hinata Hoshino and Hermione went to the classroom where the Wizards Duel Club was located.

Lockhart pulled Snape and kept chattering. If it weren't for Lily sitting underneath as a Potions consultant, Snape might have rewarded him with a magic weapon.

Hinata Hoshino could probably guess what Lockhart was thinking.

Professor McGonagall has been the Head of Gryffindor for many years.The strength obviously cannot be underestimated.

Professor Flitwick, as the champion of the Wizarding Duel, how could he be so weak?

Professor Sprout's words seemed more reasonable than coming from a peasant woman rather than a professor.Lockhart felt that even defeating her would be dishonorable, let alone the possibility of being defeated by her.

From this point of view, although his hair was a little greasy, Snape was already the younger one among the group, and he also looked well-dressed.

If he could compete with Snape, or even defeat him, it would undoubtedly bring Lockhart great fame.

Not to mention Hogwarts, except for Slytherin, no other house likes Snape.

"That's right, Professor Dumbledore allowed me to open this small dueling club to fully train everyone in case you need to defend yourself one day. Protect yourself in the same way that I have used countless times - for details on this, Please see my published works." This statement was very suitable for Lockhart's personality.But what was surprising was that Lockhart actually used an amplifying spell on himself.

"Let me introduce my assistant, Professor Snape. He himself knows a thing or two about dueling, and he promised to help me give a demonstration before class. After I finish the demonstration with him, I will also give you your potion. The teacher will return it to you intact."

Hinata Hoshino saw the corner of Snape's mouth twitching obviously.He probably wanted to say something dirty just now, but when he glanced at Lily sitting below him from the corner of his eye, he decided to just smile.

Over this time, Lockhart's performance in class got better and better.Many people who were already convinced that Lockhart was a liar began to change their minds again.

Of course, that doesn't include Hermione.She only believed in what she saw with her eyes. Lockhart, who captured a group of elves that day and was teased by the elves, did not look like a clever wizard.

"As you can see, we hold our wands in a normal dueling posture. On the count of three, we cast the first spell. Of course, neither of us will take the life of the other."

As the number three fell, Lockhart and Snape raised their wands at the same time and cast a disarming spell on each other.

"Unarmed"*2
Two red lights emitted from the wand, canceling each other out.This surprised Snape.Although he did not use all his strength, such a disarming spell required at least the level of an average professor to cast it.

Does Lockhart really have such ability?This made Snape start to wonder whether the Lockhart in front of him was real, and whether he had been replaced or controlled by someone.

Lockhart's lips curled up into a smile, as if victory was close at hand.He thought Snape had used all his strength, but the next second he understood that Snape had just cast the disarming spell casually, while Lockhart had used all his strength.

"Except Your Weapons"

"Armor Protection"

Lockhart felt that the disarming spell issued by Snape was far more powerful than before. He realized that he might not be able to use the disarming spell to offset Snape's disarming spell, so he simply cast the Iron Armor Charm to use it. defense.

"Stop, stop. This is the process of a general wizard duel. Now I need a little wizard to cooperate with me."

Listening to Lockhart's almost begging tone, Snape withdrew his wand with disdain.Lockhart thought that since the professor was no match for him, it would be better to find a student to act as the target for him to show off his power.

Ever since, Lockhart looked at Hinata Hoshino desperately.He thought that Hinata was only gifted and strong. He might not have any talent for magic, otherwise he wouldn't have used fists to deal with the elves before, but would have used magic spells.

"Okay, thanks to our Mr. Zhang for demonstrating it to us. Okay, first of all, bow, then raise your wand, count one, two, three, and let's get started."

Hinata Hoshino stood in front of Lockhart, listening to Lockhart's thoughts with a look of disdain, it was just Lockhart.When he returned after finishing the fight, the pumpkin juice in Hermione's hand might still be warm.

Lockhart looked at Luo Ri's expression towards Hoshino, and his dissatisfaction became stronger and stronger.It’s okay for these professors and the dean to look down on me. Why can’t even a single student look down on me?

It was fine if I didn't have this power before, but now that I have this power and I'm looked down upon by a student, I don't want this power in vain.
