"You said Lockhart put other people's deeds on his head?" Hermione asked in shock.
"Be quiet!" Ron said.
After dinner, the three of them hid in the corner of the common room and talked quietly.
Ron rummaged in his schoolbag, took out three parchment papers, "Look at it, Hermione."
The little witch immediately took it over and read it.
For a while, she raised her head and stammered: "How is it possible, this kind of thing! I mean, how did Lockhart do it and let others sell the story to him?"
Harry suddenly said, "It doesn't have to be sold to him, but he might have snatched it."
Ron and Hermione stared at him blankly, there was too much hidden behind this guess.
Time came to Thursday in a blink of an eye.
The auditorium was re-decorated, and the square gilded stage in the center was crowded with little wizards.
When Felix and Snape appeared together and stood in the center of the stage, the little wizards were in different moods, surprises and regrets mixed together.
"Professor Snape?" Felix glanced at him on stage.
Snape shook his head expressionlessly, so Felix took a step and tapped himself with his magic wand, "Quiet, little wizards—"
"Our course will begin soon."
Felix turned around in a circle, wherever he looked, the crowd became quiet.
"Before we start, there are a few things that need to be explained in advance."
Felix’s eyes were calm, and his voice rang in the ears of every little wizard, “First, Professor Lockhart, who was originally in charge of the duel course, because of his busy personal affairs, he generously entrusted the course to me. I am solely responsible;"
The little wizards whispered, "I don't think so." Dean Thomas said to Neville on the side, "Let me say that Lockhart in the new semester is even more confused. He can forget his words even in acting class."
"I think he is under too much pressure these days. Sometimes I am like this. When I get nervous, my brain becomes empty." Neville whispered.
"Speaking of which, I was surprised that there was no Auror who suddenly rushed in and took him away."
After a short pause, Felix continued: "Secondly, Professor Snape will serve as a guest professor to provide guidance and advice to our duel course throughout the whole process;"
The discussion in the audience became louder.
"——As for the third, it is about the dueling course itself. After discussing with Professor Snape, we agreed that the time and format of the course should be fixed. So in the future, our course will be held every two weeks. The time is set at eight o'clock in the evening on Thursdays of the second and fourth weeks of each month."
After the little wizards had digested the information, Felix waved his wand, and the ceiling of the auditorium became dim. At the same time, the milky white light was like an inverted bowl, covering the stage and the shadows of the little wizards.
Some noisy voices seemed to melt into the open wilderness, becoming low and inaudible.
"Now, we are officially in class."
Felix reached out and invited Snape.
In a solemn silence, Snape said in his characteristic plain tone: “Wizard’s duel is a long-standing tradition. Over time, after removing some **** and savage rules, we Tame it in a cage and make duel a means to show the wizard's own charm."
Many little wizards noticed that in this environment, Professor Snape’s voice has a strange charm bonus.
Ron whispered, "I thought Snape had a talent for telling ghost stories."
"What did you say?" Hermione tilted her head. But then I discovered by accident that my voice became dim and deep.
"It's magic," Harry said, but the other two could only see his mouth.
"--But the foundation of the duel is still there. There are many people who have lived their lives, and their understanding of the duel is just like a giant monster, wielding a magic wand stupidly, competing with the strength of the magic power and the height of the voice," said this, Snape's gaze fell on the little wizard at Gryffindor College, full of mockery.
"But the duel itself is a sophisticated skill. If you are willing to spend even a little bit of time, you will realize that the World Wizards Dueling Conference will publish relevant guide books every few years."
Snape rarely explained his views on the duel today. Although his words made the little wizards listen to it, they could feel Snape's respect for the duel.
Halfway through, Snape couldn't change the habit of a professor secretly. He said: "Although Hogwarts does not have the tradition of dueling and battle magic as Demstrand does, there are many related ones. The content has been included in a course."
Snape lightly raised the wand in his hand, his eyes staring stiffly forward, squeezing a few words from his teeth, "Yes, Defense Against the Dark Arts."
"But this course has never played its due role over the years, which makes some students lack even the most basic ability to judge danger."
In a solemn and depressing atmosphere, many little wizards felt that they seemed to have returned to the potions class.
This professor is always capable of bringing the surrounding atmosphere under his own control.
Next, Felix clapped his hands to let the little wizards focus on him.
"Today's lesson is the disarming curse. We have seen its role in the first duel course. It is a very useful curse."
Felix has counted some of the advantages of the Disarming Curse It is easy to learn, effective, and low risk. Whether it is used in daily practice or in some formal duel occasions, there is no problem. "
"Has anyone mastered this magic?"
Raised his sparse arms, most of them were senior little wizards, "It's a lot lower than I expected." Felix shook his head.
He called up a seventh-grade Gryffindor student.
"Professor Haipu, my name is Abbott Barker." The acne-looking student said excitedly, "I am going to apply for the Auror of the Ministry of Magic. I have been preparing for it for two years."
Felix knew it in his heart.
Bark waved his wand at Felix's sign, and a red spell cut through the air, using a standard disarming spell.
Next, Felix introduced the learning method of the disarming spell in detail, and used Bark as a "teaching tool" to let him repeatedly try to use the spell and point out the key points.
Under his demonstration, many little wizards had the most basic understanding of this spell.
"Next—"
Felix waved his magic wand and flew out hundreds of parchments from the suitcase in the corner. They flew accurately in front of every little wizard.
Harry quickly picked up one, watching the dense introduction and casting skills on it, his scalp burst a little.
He looked at the stage, and Professor Haipu said calmly: “I don’t think you can learn a spell in just two hours. In fact, if there are ten successful examples, then To my surprise."
"The content on this parchment is for your practice and reference after class. I will explain how to use it later."
"Now, let's practice formal."
