Chapter 597： too difficult

Chapter 597 is too difficult

Hearing that some students actually proposed to let him duel with Snape again, the muscles on Lockhart's face couldn't help twitching, and he said dryly, "This is the end of the demonstration!"

How to defend against the Disarming Curse?

Lockhart naturally knew, but he was not confident that he could use the Armor Curse to block Snape's Disarming Curse, let alone interrupt Snape's spell before Snape used the Disarming Curse.

"Now I will come among you..." Lockhart was interrupted before he could finish speaking.

"Professor must have a way to counter the Disarming Curse, right!" Another student asked expectantly, this time it was Truman of Hufflepuff who spoke.

This guy also has a lot of grievances against Lockhart now.

No way, last year’s Professor Quirrell is fine, at least the other party can teach them a little theoretical knowledge, but what’s going on with this Professor Lockhart?

Come to Hogwarts for a joke!

You are sure that he is really a professor, not a writer wearing a professor title.

Students who were unhappy watching Lockhart, or book fans who hoped that Lockhart could teach Snape a lesson, started booing at this moment, hoping to see another duel.

"Perhaps, you should satisfy everyone."

Snape's stiff cheeks actually evoked a slight smile.

At this moment, Lockhart was like a rabbit being cornered by someone. After much hesitation, he still nodded in agreement.

While his Iron Armor is sloppy, at least...maybe...

There was another dazzling red light, and another figure flew backwards suddenly. Everyone was speechless and saw Lockhart who hit the wall and slid down.

Everything is so familiar.

Yes, this scene happened only a few minutes ago.

The only difference is that before being hit by Professor Snape's disarming spell, Lockhart also said "armor protection", although it didn't work.

There was a moment of dead silence, and no one knew who started to applaud. Sporadic applause quickly spread in the auditorium.

Lockhart struggled to get up from the ground. At this moment, he no longer had the confidence and composure he had before, and even the smile on his face seemed a bit forced.

Received by Albert's eyes, George immediately pretended to be a newbie who didn't understand anything, and asked humbly, "Professor Lockhart, what spell did you use just now?"

"George must have done it on purpose," Ron muttered under his breath.

He knew that both Fred and George could use the Iron Armor Curse, and they used it slyly. Even if they went on stage to fight Lockhart, they might be able to easily defeat their Defense Against the Dark Arts professor.

He would really like to see this happen.

"I think this is a good way."

Harry Potter below the stage was particularly happy to see Lockhart deflated. In the first half of the semester, he was often harassed by Lockhart, especially in the Defense Against the Dark Arts class. He was always called up to play various roles, which made him extremely depressed.

Hermione next to him looked very anxious, she was a little worried about Lockhart's situation.

"The spell I used just now was the Iron Armor Curse. Although I couldn't use it successfully, the Iron Armor Curse can rebound the spell, which is very suitable for protecting myself from the threat of the spell." Lockhart straightened his wizard hat, facing Everyone showed a typical smile.

"Professor, is there a way to counter the opponent before the enemy uses the spell." Albert asked.

"This..." The smile on Lockhart's face suddenly froze.

"It's a very high skill."

Snape rolled his eyes at Lockhart, and answered the question for him: "You need to predict the opponent's magic in advance. Of course, if there is a big difference in strength between the two sides, it can usually be done."

"Okay, this is the end of the demonstration!"

Lockhart interrupted before Snape stole his limelight: "I'll put you all in teams of two and attempt a duel."

Albert regrets not being able to cause Lockhart any more trouble.

Lockhart soon began to group into groups to find someone to fight on stage.

Of course, Lockhart was picked for Harry Potter, and Draco Malfoy was picked by Snape.

The two professors obviously intend to let the two show it in front of everyone.

"Now raise your wand, bow to the opponent and get ready!" Lockhart said loudly, "When I count to three, I will magically disarm the opponent."

Malfoy obviously didn't intend to follow the rules, and when Lockhart called two, he cast a spell ahead of time to attack Harry Potter.

Before everyone could react, they saw that Malfoy seemed to be hit on the head by something, and he swayed his body and fell backwards.

"Good job Harry!"

The Gryffindor students in the audience shouted excitedly.

It's just that Harry looked at Malfoy who fell suddenly with a dazed expression, and then looked at his own wand. He didn't do anything yet, why Malfoy fell by himself.

Is this a conspiracy by the other party?

It doesn't look like it either!

Having said that, shouldn't it be a good time to cast magic on the fallen Malfoy now? The opportunity is really rare, but doing so seems to violate the morality of the game.

"Tarentella!"

Malfoy had already raised his wand and pointed it at Harry's knee, chanting a sneak attack.

Under the eyes of everyone, everyone saw that before the spell hit Harry, something seemed to flash in front of Harry.

Then, they saw the dance spell bounced back, passing over Malfoy's head, and flying towards Snape behind him.

Finally, it was blocked by Snape with a light wave.

"You mean bastard, you're violating race ethics." Harry yelled at Malfoy, who didn't hesitate anymore, and cast a tickle curse at him, causing Malfoy to collapse on the ground with laughter.

"The spell stops!"

Snape immediately seized the power and lifted the spell on Malfoy. Then, he looked at Harry with dissatisfaction, and said with a gloomy face, "Mr. Potter, you wear an amulet, right? This has violated the rules of dueling."

"Mr. Malfoy violated the rules of the duel just now. He used magic ahead of time, and in the end he shamelessly attacked me." Harry stared back without showing any weakness.

"Yes, Malfoy didn't follow the rules and recited the curse first, it's really despicable and shameless."

"He insulted the sacred duel."

"Malfoy, get out of here immediately."

Instigated by Lee Jordan, the Gryffindor students started booing, and many students from other colleges also joined in. Who made Slytherin students unpopular in school?

The expression on Snape's face became even more gloomy.

"Quiet, quiet!" Lockhart yelled.

"Mr. Malfoy's sneak attack in advance violates the dueling rules, and Harry, take off the amulet on your body first, using the amulet is also against the dueling rules," Lockhart glanced at Snape, and then looked away , and said aloud, "I think I'd better teach you how to stop unfriendly magic."

"Professor, I hope you can teach us yourself."

Lee Jordan felt that this was a good opportunity and began to volunteer. With Lockhart's level, it was not impossible to defeat him.

Of course, his words were directly ignored by Lockhart.

The duel continued, still a duel between Harry and Malfoy.

The two professors will give them a little advice to make the duel look more "friendly".

Of course, that's just what Lockhart thinks, he thinks now is a good opportunity.

Chance to become Harry's teacher.

If Lockhart had considered his abilities carefully, perhaps he would not have such unrealistic thoughts.
