Hogwarts: I am Harry's eldest cousin

Audrina's face turned blue with anger, but she didn't slow down at all.

Fortunately, Peeves is not unsolvable. Most ghosts can pass through walls freely, but Peeves cannot. If he wants to go to another room, he needs to turn the doorknob to open the door.

So if you want to get rid of Peeves, it's very easy. Just daze him.

Audrina escaped Peeves' pursuit by hiding in a casually opened utility room.

"I see you!"

Audrina heaved a sigh of relief only when Peeves' cheerful laughter gradually faded away and could no longer be heard.

When I opened the door, I was a little dumbfounded by the unfamiliar corridor and environment.

I didn't pay attention when I was running just now, where am I running to now?

Audrina began to find her way back to her dorm.

She didn't want to stay in a place like this for a night.

'It's such bad luck!'

Audrina was extremely unhappy.

Try to go back the same way and find the way back.

Suddenly, she felt something flash before her eyes. Audrina turned her head immediately. Under the dim light of the castle, a shiny object in the corner of the wall caught her attention.

"Huh? What is that?"

When I got closer, I found a crown with a dazzling gem in the center that was forgotten by someone on the ground.

"How lucky! I found it, so it belongs to me."

Audrina picked it up without thinking.

Holding it in her hand and looking at it carefully, the beautiful crown on top seemed to exude infinite temptation, which deeply attracted Audrina.

“It’s so beautiful”

Audrina stared at the gem in the center and said infatuatedly.

What little witch could resist a sparkly tiara?

What’s more, this is not just an ordinary crown.

Chapter 135 It can’t be that Lockhart is here to teach us how to duel?

"It's a pity that I didn't get to see that duel. I think it must have been an exciting duel."

"But this also gave me an inspiration. Recently, I am planning a secret event that will surely bring surprises to everyone."

Lockhart said this in his class more than once, after hearing that Hermione had defeated the sixth-year prefect single-handedly.

He knows how to use public opinion to attract other people's attention. To be more precise, he is very good at it.

Although in the end, it often gets messed up due to various things and becomes a gimmick.

But his ability cannot be denied.

"I guess everyone must be curious about what it is."

Every time he said this, Lockhart stopped talking, blinked his eyes, and revealed a row of sparkling white teeth.

To be honest, he shouldn't be selling any shampoo. The sales of the Potters' special shampoo have always been in an irreplaceable dominant position, and no other shampoo can replace it. Although Lockhart has worked really hard on marketing, the actual sales are really not that good, and only a small number of die-hard fans are willing to pay for it.

The right thing for Lockhart to do would be to endorse toothpaste.

Just the teeth that look like special effects are enough.

Lockhart's mysterious look really piqued the interest of many young wizards. After all, he was a professor. Although his level was limited, he would not be so boring as to tease them. However, whenever they asked about Lockhart, the latter refused to reveal any information.

"You'll find out on Monday morning."

Lockhart said so, continuing to maintain his mystery.

Monday morning arrived as scheduled. When the members of the discipline group returned to the castle after morning exercise, they suddenly saw a group of little wizards gathered around the bulletin board, reading the words on a piece of parchment that had just been nailed up.

"It should be Lockhart's boring trick." Ron said with disdain: "Are you trying to catch a bunch of vixens this time?"

If we talk about the person who is most unhappy with Lockhart in the disciplinary team, it must be Ron. His mother and sister are both die-hard fans of Lockhart's books. Although Ginny is not so obsessed with Lockhart after going to Hogwarts and seeing the real person's failure, his mother Mrs. Weasley has always been "chasing stars".

The Weasley family was not wealthy, and Lockhart's books were extremely expensive. Just the set of Lockhart books for the second grade was a considerable expense. Even the small profit Ron made last year was far from enough to make up for the gap.

What's more, Ron spent all the money he earned on buying gifts for his family. He didn't even get himself a new wand or a new pet. He and Neville both used old wands, but he used his brother's and Neville used his father's.

"You may be wrong about that." Dudley glanced at the contents of the parchment and said softly, "He did a good thing."

"The Duelists Club? The organizer, Lockhart?"

Hermione read the contents of the parchment with a strange look on her face: "Duel? Lockhart? Him?"

The last word was full of contempt.

Hermione is a little witch who respects her professor very much, provided that you have the ability or character to make her respect you.

It's fine if Lockhart doesn't have the ability, but his character is also... Recently, there have been rumors about him from the seniors.

Well, the emotional kind.

Hermione is currently collecting evidence in this regard. Once confirmed, Lockhart will not face expulsion from Hogwarts, but will be charged.

The crime of WEI molesting underage wizards is not light at all, and it is the same in the wizarding world. Even if you are not imprisoned in Azkaban, you must go to the Wizengamot.

"Professor Snape and Professor Flitwick actually agreed?" Neville looked down at the parchment.

There is also a line of small words below the host Lockhart, as well as Professor Snape and Professor Flitwick.

It goes without saying that this notice, which highlights himself so much, must have been written by Lockhart.

"What kind of spell did that guy cast on the professors?"

Professor Flitwick is fine, as he was said to have been a duelling master when he was young. He might be interested in the Duellists' Club, but Professor Snape is not a person who likes to be lively.

Harry understood this very well; every time he went to him for tutoring, it was never a pleasant experience.

"I don't think Lockhart can cast advanced spells like the Bewitching Charm."

Ron used his ability to complain: "Maybe he agreed because he was fed up with it."

"It seems that your brain has opened up. This may be the closest you have ever been to the truth, Mr. Romeo."

Malfoy sneered mercilessly.

This was basically their daily routine, with Ron making complaints and Malfoy mocking him, with Harry occasionally interspersed.

"Stop giving me weird nicknames! Be careful or I'll teach you a lesson tonight and pluck out all your hair."

The first meeting of the Duelist Club is tonight.

"It's platinum, you uneducated ass."

You said that other Malfoys would never get angry, but would instead seize on the loopholes in your sentences to mock you, but as soon as you mention his hair, he will definitely get angry.

"I'm going to shove your red head up your ass."

"Come on, come on, who's afraid of who?"

"It seems that everyone agrees to go, so everyone should get ready tonight." Dudley nodded and suddenly raised his voice a little: "Harry."

After a long while, Harry finally responded with a "hmm".

"Recently, you always look absent-minded during training. You are often distracted and you are not paying attention when I talk to you."

"You and Neville will duel alone tonight."

"Let me see whether you have improved or regressed during this period of time."

Dudley was very dissatisfied with Harry's recent condition. He refused to say anything when asked. There must be something wrong with this situation.

The reason why Neville was arranged is because Neville has made the most progress during this period.

At eight o'clock in the evening, the long dining table disappeared and a gilded stage appeared along one wall, illuminated by hundreds of candles floating above. The ceiling became dark as velvet again, and most of the students arrived, crowded together, each holding his own wand and looking excited.

"Who will teach us dueling skills in the first class?"

The little wizards were chattering about what was going on.

"I guess it's Professor Flitwick, he was a duelling champion in his youth!"

Those who say this are usually young wizards from Ravenclaw.

"It has to be Professor Snape. He is one of the most powerful wizards I have ever met."

This is usually said by Slytherins, and they definitely support the dean of their own house.

Anyway, everyone guessed who it was, and even Gryffindor called out Hagrid.

Ron said cheerfully, "It can't be Lockhart himself, can it?"

Lockhart couldn't be so ignorant of himself.

Chapter 136 Mr. Longbottom, please come up and demonstrate to me

The door from the other side of the hall was pushed open, and Lockhart walked in wearing his flirty purple robe, dressed like a peacock.

Behind him were two figures, one tall and one short, Professor Snape and Professor Flitwick, both dressed in black robes as usual.

"Come around, come around! Can everyone see me? Can everyone hear me? Great!"

Lockhart shouted at the top of his voice, even though as a wizard he could use the magic of "loud voice" to amplify his voice.

"I think everyone should learn how to duel in case you need to defend yourself one day. Of course, I have used different methods to protect myself countless times. You can learn from them. If you want to know the details clearly, please read my published works."

This was followed by a long speech introducing his works.

Perhaps because he was suppressed too much by "Dragonlance Chronicles", Lockhart now spares no effort to promote his novel whenever he gets the chance.

I have to say this trick is still somewhat useful.

The quality of the book itself is one thing, but publicity and recommendation are also important.

When Professor Snape seemed to be getting a little impatient, Lockhart continued, "Then today's first lesson will be for me to teach you how to duel."

At this moment, Ron's expression was as if he was constipated.

He was right.

'Look at my mouth, I can't learn anything from this thing.'

"Ahem, let me first introduce my assistants - Professor Snape and Professor Flitwick," said Lockhart, grinning widely, revealing his 'not very useful' teeth again. "Professor Snape told me that he knows a thing or two about dueling, and he generously agreed to help me with a small demonstration before class. I said, I don't want to make you little guys worry - after I finish demonstrating with him, I will return your Potions teacher to you intact, so don't be afraid!"

"Of course, there is also our Professor Flitwick, who is responsible for guiding us during the duel and explaining the precautions of the duel. In fact, I can do it myself, but I think you need an interpreter to ensure that you don't miss any details. Hey, guys, don't look at his small stature, but this small body contains great energy. When he was young, he was a duel champion, although he is still a little bit worse than me. If you want to know how powerful I am, please read my works carefully."

After a round of praise and criticism mixed with some sales talk, the two professors' faces were as black as the bottom of a pot.

Dudley clearly saw several times that Snape slightly raised his wand and then forced it down again, and the look he gave Lockhart was very unfriendly. Even Professor Flitwick, a good-tempered and honest man, held his wand tightly, but the peacock seemed not to see anything.

You offended two powerful wizards at once. I don't know whether you did it accidentally or intentionally, or was it intentional and careless?

Lockhart and Snape walked onto the gilded stage, turned to face each other, and bowed.

This is the basic etiquette before a wizard duel begins. Professor Flitwick also briefly explains it here, including the things to note about the basic etiquette of a duel.

However, Lockhart was not a man who would sit still. He moved his hands in many different ways, attracting the attention of many young wizards.

Moreover, this action was quite handsome when matched with his appearance. Dudley could hear many little witches muttering in a crazy voice, saying things like 'so handsome', 'charming' and so on.

Is it really handsome?

Dudley looked Lockhart up and down. He didn't understand what was so handsome about the fact that he probably didn't have much muscle on his body.

Only that face can be barely associated with being handsome.

Or it’s because these little witches are ignorant and have never seen many handsome guys.

To be fair, if Snape dressed up properly, especially washed his hair and styled his hair, combined with his own temperament, he would definitely be more handsome than this peacock.

Unfortunately.

They held their wands like arrows to their chests.
