Chinese students at Hogwarts.

Chapter 166 The Dueling Club: Lockhart's Reclamation
The four long tables in the auditorium disappeared, and a gilded stage appeared in the center, shining dazzlingly under the illumination of thousands of candles.

Looking at this exaggerated stage, Zhang Xiao couldn't help curling her lips, Lockhart's bad aesthetics.

The ceiling was once again as black as velvet, and almost all the students from the school came, crowded together, each holding his own wand, and his face was full of excitement.

They have never tried the taste of a duel, except for secretly reciting little jinxes to their friends, and they don't even have the chance to cast the spell face to face.

There are too many people around, and the long robes are also very obstructive. They will always accidentally step on the robes of their classmates, and apologize embarrassingly under the dissatisfied eyes of the other party.

"I don't know who's going to teach us." They slid sideways into the chattering crowd, and Hermione said, "Professor Flitwick was the world's wizard dueling champion when he was young, maybe he's going to teach us."

"Duel champion?"

Ron raised his eyebrows and showed a surprised expression. He didn't expect the short Professor Flitwick to have such a glorious past.

Malfoy also nodded: "If that's the case"

"Anyone is fine, some professors are very good. As long as it's not—" Harry didn't finish his sentence, and turned into a moan—and Lockhart walked onto the stage, radiant in a fuchsia robe.

The person beside him was none other than Snape, still with that indifferent, repulsive look.

They are all the people he hates the most, what's more, the two actually appeared together!

The little wizards all showed disappointed expressions and sighed in unison. It has been so long since school started, and Lockhart's performance has made most people see clearly what kind of guy he is.

Although many little witches still insist that Professor Lockhart is an extraordinary wizard, after all, no one has really seen him make a move.

Except for the professors, after all, they rescued Lockhart who was hung up during the 'special operation to clear the eight-eyed spider in the Forbidden Forest'.

The booing and sighing obviously embarrassed Lockhart, who smiled stiffly, waved for silence, and then shouted: "Come around, come around! Can everyone see me?
Can you all hear me? Great!
That's it, based on the recognition of my strength (huge boos) - Professor Dumbledore allowed me to start a dueling club and fully train everyone.

In case you ever need to defend yourself, defend yourself in the same way that I have used countless times - see my published work for details on this. "

Then Zhang Xiao absent-mindedly listened to Lockhart's bragging, his eyes scanned the entire auditorium, and he saw many details.

For example, the queen of the school hospital, Madam Pomfrey, was sitting on a chair in the corner, staring at Lockhart. If the eyes could cast spells, Lockhart would probably be riddled with wounds.

In another corner, on a tall cabinet, a tabby cat with spectacles on its face was lying there, yawning loudly.

Lockhart babbled on for almost 10 minutes, much of it bragging about himself and promoting his new book.

In the end, he finally noticed that the little wizard was about to roll his eyes to the sky, so he stopped talking.

".Okay, okay, I have already felt everyone's enthusiasm, and more interesting details are in my upcoming new book "I Taught at Hogwarts".

Cough cough - let me introduce my assistant, Professor Snape," Lockhart said, grinning widely.

"He told me he knew a thing or two about dueling himself, and he kindly agreed to help me with a little demonstration before the lesson.

I said, I don't want to worry you little guys——after I finish demonstrating with him, I will return your Potions teacher to you intact, don't be afraid!"

The voices of the little wizards suddenly became louder, and Harry watched in horror as the terrifying smile on Snape's face was ten times more terrifying than deducting points for him.

He wondered why Lockhart was still smiling;

If Snape had looked at him that way, he would have spread his legs and ran in the opposite direction as fast as he could.

Malfoy waved his fist angrily, booing along with the little Slytherin wizard:
"Dean, give him a good look!"

Lockhart waved his wand, and there was a violent explosion. The little wizards were startled, and immediately fell silent.

Um?This hand seems to be good, right?Zhang Xiao's attention was immediately drawn back.

"You are always so impatient." Lockhart looked down with satisfaction, he suddenly waved his hand, and the stage floor suddenly opened——Professor Flitwick sat under the floor, which had become his iconic children's model Xiangyun smiling flew out.

"A surprise is coming!
Welcome to my other assistant!Filius Flitwick, the former dueling champion! "

Ravenclaw immediately burst into warm applause and cheers.

Zhang Xiao clicked his tongue, Lockhart knew how to write novels, this emotional pull, reverse pull look forward to playing beautifully!
Even he himself couldn't help but look forward to it, after all, Professor Flitwick is really capable.

Lockhart was very satisfied with the atmosphere below. At first he was hesitant to invite Flitwick, after all, the title of dueling champion was still very prestigious.

What if Flitwick stole the limelight from himself?

But in the end Lockhart still invited Flitwick, because he suddenly wanted to understand a problem, it doesn't matter what the little wizards think.

The key is what is written in the report, as long as the adult wizard sees "Lockhart's assistant - dueling champion Flitwick."

Then these wizards who really have spending power will instinctively think that they are stronger than Flitwick!Otherwise, why is Flitwick the assistant and himself the leader?

And who said I really can't do anything?
Lockhart smiled confidently. Ever since he was severely bullied by spiders in the Forbidden Forest, he learned from the pain and decided to pick up the lost magic again.

I'm a Ravenclaw graduate!

Those magics are my innate ability, I just waste them and just pick them up again!
Tonight, I will wash off the stigma and let you see the real me!
This is my battle of rectification!
So 3 minutes later, the little wizards looked at each other with great confidence, and Lockhart, who wanted to demonstrate the 'high-end duel' with Professor Snape, flew far away.

Even the gorgeous purple robe was torn wide.

The corners of Zhang Xiao's mouth twitched twice, no, that's it?Looking at you like that, I thought you were about to rise.

That's it?

Lockhart walked awkwardly back to center stage.

"Okay, everyone saw it!" He desperately arranged his natural curly hair with his hands, trying to get away with it.

"Look, I hit this spell on purpose just to show you what a real disarming spell is. Actually—"

He glanced at Snape, "I can easily stop your spell, your intention just now is very obvious..."

Lockhart wisely kept his mouth shut, because Snape's face was getting more and more gloomy, and his hand was slowly reaching for his wand.

He hastily shut up, handed over the initiative to Flitwick, stood in the corner and began to think hard about how to write the report so that both Flitwick and Snape could be regarded as his foils.

Professor Flitwick was watching the situation on the field with a smile all the time, not caring that Lockhart made another mess at all.

He floated to the center of the stage, pointed his wand at his neck, and said loudly:
"Thanks to the two professors for the presentation.

First of all, I want to talk to you - what is a duel.

Dueling is an art. It is not about two people standing apart, pointing their wands at each other, and chanting spells aloud.

It is an elegant art, it involves so many things, even if you spend your whole life, you dare not say that you have come to an end in a duel.

A duel is what tests the true level of a wizard. "

The little wizards listened carefully to Professor Flitwick's narration with completely different attitudes. This kind of differential treatment caused Lockhart's jealous face in the corner to twist.

But before the official start, I hope that one of you and I can come on stage and demonstrate through actual duels what a duel is all about. "

The little wizards couldn't help holding their breath, a little looking forward to being chosen but afraid of being shamed.

The Ravenclaw students looked left and right, and finally gritted their teeth and raised their trembling hands, even if they were ashamed, they had to support their dean!
At this moment, Professor Flitwick looked at Zhang Xiao and said loudly:

"Zhang, how about we give a demonstration?"
