Chapter 596 Demolition

It wasn't until evening that Albert returned to Hogwarts Castle slowly.

His walking posture was a bit bumpy, practicing dancing was really troublesome, and Isobel didn't know what was going on, so he dragged him to practice dancing all afternoon.

"Maybe, because I don't have to worry about getting stepped on?"

On the way back to the Gryffindor common room, Albert thought maliciously.

After he spent experience to upgrade his dance skills, Isobel probably found joy in dancing.

Of course, after a whole afternoon of practice, the dance of the two finally no longer has the rigid feeling of being manipulated, although the dance still has nothing to do with elegance.

"What's up with him?"

In the common room, Albert found the injured George at a glance. The unlucky guy's arm seemed to be broken, and it was wrapped in a large white bandage.

George stretched out his hand and lightly tapped Fred, who was giggling, and said angrily, "It's broken."

"Did you provoke Whomping Willow?" Albert couldn't help raising his eyebrows, "Didn't I remind you..."

"We didn't provoke that tree." George couldn't help protesting: "We were attacked as soon as we came out of it."

"Actually, your luck is not bad. There was an unlucky guy who lost his eye after provoking Whomping Willow." Albert sat next to Fred and asked, "What did Madam Pomfrey say?"

"Madame Pomfrey has already connected George's bones, and said that it is best not to use too much force in the last two days." Lee Jordan did not gloat, he regretted not listening to Albert's words.

At that time, the three of them had just passed through the long secret passage, and when they came out, they found that things were just as Albert said, the entrance of the secret passage was just under the Whomping Willow on the edge of Hogwarts, that is to say, this It is the seventh secret way out of Hogwarts.

It may be that the hand touched the trunk of the Whomping Willow, and the three of them fell ill as soon as they came out, which made them extremely embarrassed.

"Why are you coming back now?" Lee Jordan asked, changing the topic.

"I'm learning to dance." Albert said casually, "You know, I'm going to France to attend a wedding during the Christmas holidays. An old friend reminded me that it's best to learn how to dance, so I've been practicing dancing this afternoon."

"very nice!"

"That's great, I want to learn too."

"You should call us, I can't dance either."

"Shut up, didn't you see that my feet are almost limping?"

Albert stared at the three who were booing, took out a pocket watch from his pocket, looked at the time and said, "I have to go to the school hospital before the duel club starts, I hope Madam Pomfrey can help me relieve the pain. "

Being stepped on once or twice actually hurts a little. After being stepped on all afternoon, Albert even wondered if his foot bones were cracked.

By the time Albert came out from Madam Pomfrey, the pain in his feet had already subsided.

Madam Pomfrey gave him an ointment, which can relieve pain.

Of course, Albert didn't miss the opportunity. While applying the ointment to his feet, he took the opportunity to discuss with Madam Pomfrey the method of making the ointment.

When I returned to the auditorium, I found that it was already full of people.

No way, the dueling club's reputation is too great, almost all the students from the school came, the entrance became very crowded, and the students were excitedly holding their wands and preparing to join the party.

The long dining table in the auditorium also disappeared, replaced by a duel stage with hundreds of candles floating in the sky.

"So slow!"

Fred and George walked towards Albert, patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile, "We thought you weren't coming!"

"I don't know who will teach us." Shanna also came over and greeted the three with a smile. She was obviously very interested in the duel between wizards.

"Everyone is rumored to be Professor Flitwick." Angelina waved to them holding Alia's hand, and after noticing Shanna's puzzled gaze, she explained with a smile: "Flitwick was once a professor when he was young. Duel champion, I don't think anyone is more suitable than him."

"No, it's Lockhart!"

Albert signaled everyone to watch the stage, their Defense Against the Dark Arts professor had already come to the stage to host the duel club.

At this moment, Gilderoy Lockhart looked simply radiant in a fuchsia robe. However, what everyone cares about the most is not himself, but the assistant next to him.

Snape was still wearing his usual black robe, with a gloomy face, and walked onto the stage beside Lockhart.

"Look at Snape's expression, I wouldn't be surprised if he would give Lockhart an Avada Kedavra later." The depression caused by George's arm injury quickly disappeared, and he He looked at the two people on the stage with great interest.

In fact, everyone is curious about the next development.

Lockhart waved for everyone to be quiet, and asked the students to gather around the edge of the stage to listen to his speech. After he finished speaking, he introduced his assistant, Professor Snape, to everyone.

After hearing Lockhart say "...I will return your Potions teacher intact!", Albert finally recovered from the long speech.

Snape's lips curled up maliciously, obviously wanting to take the opportunity to teach Lockhart a lesson.

"Someone is going to be unlucky!"

Lee Jordan looked very excited, his expectations came true, and the two on stage were showing everyone how wizards duel.

They bowed to each other, then held their wands like arrows to their chests, counted to three together, and then cast their magic on their opponents.

Everything happened too fast, a dazzling red light flashed in front of his eyes, Lockhart was hit by the spell, and his whole body flew backwards suddenly.

The Slytherins were all cheering for their Headmaster, and everyone else looked at Lockhart speechlessly as he hit the wall and slid down, curled up on the floor.

"The Disarming Curse is so powerful, can you do it?"

Fred, George, and Lee Jordan all looked at Albert. They had all learned the Disarming Curse and knew its power very well.

"I haven't tried it, Snape obviously has a lot of resentment." Albert raised the corners of his mouth happily, and commented: "He exerted too much force!"

While speaking, Lockhart finally got up from the ground in embarrassment, and then shamelessly argued for his failure: "Okay, everyone has seen it, this is a disarming spell—as you can see Yes, I lost my wand."

His tone was lighthearted, as if he was deliberately letting Snape beat him.

"Of course, if I want to stop it, I don't have to do anything, but just to let everyone know..."

"Professor, how can we stop the Disarming Curse?" Lee Jordan immediately raised his hand and asked after receiving Albert's gaze, "Can you show us again."

At this moment, most of the murderous look on Snape's face disappeared suddenly, and the corners of his mouth slightly curled up, as if saying to Lockhart: Let's do it again.
