Chapter 72：

For this reason, he had to endure his nausea, pretending to be an admirer of Professor Lockhart, and deceived a note from him-Lockhart was both exaggerated and arrogant, and was quite keen on doing things. Someone signed it, and he gave the note to Harry without any doubt.

So Harry and Ron started to make the compound decoction.

The manufacture of compound decoction requires two stages. The materials of the first stage are liquid grass, two ears, lacewing insects and leeches, all of which are quite common magical materials.

However, the second stage of production requires double-horned horns and African tree snake skin. These two materials are quite rare. Only Snape has stock in the entire Hogwarts, so they plan to steal some from Snape. —— Ye Ting did the same when he made compound decoctions last school year.

They found Ron's twin brother, George and Fred asked for help.

George and Fred were happy to have a whole old bat, and they gave Harry and Ron some strenuous fireworks.

In a potions class, Harry lit a strenuous firework and threw it into Malfoy's attendant, Gore's cauldron.

The content of this potion lesson is to make potion of swelling. Gore's decoction exploded, and he poured his head and face on the whole class. Everyone screamed under the attack of the splashing potion.

Malfoy was pouring on his face, his nose swelled like a balloon; Gore covered his eyes with his hands and stumbled around, his eyes swollen as big as a lunch plate.

In the chaos, no one noticed that Harry and Ron secretly left the classroom. They went to Snape's medicine storage room and successfully stolen the medicine they wanted.

...

A week later, on the notice board in the hall, a notice about starting a "duel club" suddenly appeared.

For the opening of the duel club, most of the little wizards are full of interest.

In fact, wizard duels are a special culture in the wizarding world. Some are similar to medieval knights, singles of generals on the battlefield, or duels between nobles.

A duel between wizards is generally a formal contest between two or more people, and only magic can be used. The two sides of the duel must first bow to each other to show respect, and then assume a general dueling posture. After counting the three beeps, both parties will try to disarm, stun, injure, defeat or kill each other, forcing each other to yield and win.

Duel also exists as a sport. In addition to actual combat, it can be presented in the form of friendly matches. Even today, there are various dueling competitions in the wizarding world. It is said that Professor Flitwick is a champion of the duel competition, and the most famous duel in the world. The contest is an international wizard duel contest held by various countries.

Wizards usually talk about some legendary wizard duels. The most typical one is the epic duel between Dumbledore and Grindelwald in 1945.

Even the various myths and legends of the wizarding world are full of duels among various wizards.

The most typical is the duel between Merlin and the witch Mrs. Mihm. In this duel, Merlin creatively turned into a virus and won.

Hermione and Zhang Qiu also expressed their intention to participate in this duel club. They have gone through several weeks of combat magic training with Ye Ting, and they can’t wait to see their own strength. In the room where there is a need, besides practicing against Ye Ting, they are practicing with each other, Ye Ting’s level. It is too much higher than them, and the level of each other is relatively close, so for a long time, they don't know what their abilities have reached.

Ye Ting himself didn't like to join in the excitement. In his opinion, the so-called duel club was a peck at each other.

Unfortunately, Hermione and Zhang Qiu found him separately, hoping to join him in the duel club.

Of course, Ye Ting could see their thoughts, nothing more than he wanted to show the results of the training in front of his "teacher".

Ye Ting couldn't refuse the invitation of the two "students", so he had to take part in the pecking at each other.

At eight o'clock in the evening, the long dining table in the auditorium disappeared, and a gilded stage appeared along a wall, illuminated by hundreds of candles floating above. The ceiling became as dark as velvet again. Almost all the classmates in the school came and squeezed around each other. Everyone was holding their own magic wands and their faces were full of excitement.

"I don't know who will teach us," Hermione said, as they squeezed into the chattering crowd sideways. "Someone told me that Flitwick was a duel champion when he was young. Maybe he was the one who taught us."

"Actually, the truth will disappoint you." Ye Ting smiled faintly. As soon as his voice fell, he saw Guidro Lockhart stepping onto the stage, wearing a fuchsia robe, radiant, and the people around him were not others. It was Snape, still wearing his usual black clothes.

Lockhart waved everyone to be quiet, and then shouted: "Come around, come around! Can everyone see me? Can they hear me? Great!"

"Yes, Professor Dumbledore allowed me to start this little duel club to fully train everyone, in case you need to defend yourself one day, and protect yourself in the way I have used countless times-for more details on this, Please see my published work."

"I'll introduce my assistant Professor Snape," Lockhart said, grinning, "He told me that he himself knew a thing or two about duels, and he was generous. I promised to help me do a small demonstration before class. I said, I don’t want to worry you little guys-when I finish the demonstration with him, I will return your potions teacher to you intact. ,do not be afraid!"

Ye Ting looked at Lockhart confidently, and couldn't help but curl his lips.

Who is Snape? He used to be a Death Eater, and of course a master of dark magic. He invented the Blade's Edge Curse and Fuchsia Curse when he was a student, and he was able to compete with the master of the Order of the Phoenix, Harry's father, James Bo Te and Harry's godfather Sirius Black played back and forth.

With a silver spear like Lockhart, he dared to challenge Snape...

Item 0101

On the stage, Lockhart and Snape turned to face each other and bowed.

At least Lockhart bowed, his hands turned a lot of tricks, and Snape just shook his head impatiently. Then they held their wands to their chests like arrows.

"As you can see, we hold the wand in a normal dueling posture," Lockhart said to the silent crowd. "When we count to three, we will cast the first spell. Of course, none of us will take it. The life of the other party."

"one two Three--"

The two slammed their wands over their shoulders at the same time.

Snape shouted, "Except your weapons!"

Suddenly a dazzling red light flashed, and Lockhart was knocked out of his feet. He flew back off the stage abruptly, hit the wall, then slid down, curled up on the floor.

Malfoy and several other Slytherin students applauded. Some students who hated Lockhart also began to applaud, while some of Lockhart's little fans jumped up and down worriedly.

Lockhart staggered to his feet, his hat dropped and his wavy curly hair stood up.

"Okay, everyone see it!" He slumped to the stage again and said, "This is a disarming spell — as you can see, I lost my wand — ah, thank you , Miss Brown. Yes, Professor Snape. It’s a wonderful idea to show them this trick, but don’t mind if I say that. Your intention to do this just now is obvious. If I want to There is nothing to stop you. I think, in order to increase their knowledge, you might as well let them see..."

Snape looked murderous. Lockhart probably noticed it too, and only heard him say: "This is the end of the demonstration! Now I come to you and divide you all into two groups. Professor Snape, if you are willing to help me..."

They walked through the crowd and matched everyone with them.

Lockhart asked Neville and Justin Finley to form a pair, and Snape separated Harry and Ron with malice, Ron met Finnigan, and Harry met Mar blessing.

I don't know if it was out of Snape's malice, Hermione and Zhang Qiu's opponents were two senior Slytherin girls.

"Face your partner!" Lockhart returned to the stage and shouted, "Bow!"

"Raise the wand, get ready!" Lockhart said loudly, "When I count to three, I will cast magic to disarm the opponent's weapon—just disarm the weapon—we don’t want an accident. One——Two—— three--"

Har hit Malfoy with a squeaking curse, making him laugh so hard that he could not laugh, but the latter retaliated with a choreography curse with a grin, which forced Harry to perform a quick step dance.

There is also chaos in other people's places.

Ron’s broken wand had another accident, and the shot Finnigan fell down like ashes; Neville and Justin appeared before a green smoke, and the two fell down immediately after smelling the smoke. On the ground; there were even little wizards who abandoned their wands and scuffled together.

Only Hermione and Zhang Qiu resolved their opponents neatly. The two Slytherin senior sisters were beaten with their wands before they could react, and they were knocked to the ground.

Ye Ting happily slapped his hands next to them. They had a good grasp of the main points of the Disarmament Curse and fully grasped the characteristics of the fastest casting speed of the Disarmament Curse.

"Stop! Stop!" Loha screamed, but Snape took over.

"Spell stop!" he shouted.

Harry's feet stopped dancing, Malfoy stopped laughing, and they both finally raised their heads.

"Oh my god, my god," Lockhart said, jumping around in the crowd, watching the aftermath of the people's duel, "you stand up, Ernie... watch out, Miss Fawcett... pinch it hard, blood immediately It can be stopped, Bout..."

"I think I'd better teach you how to stop unfriendly magic." Lockhart stood in the middle of the auditorium with a flustered expression and said. He glanced at Snape, saw a cold light flashing in Snape's dark eyes, and immediately looked away. "Please voluntarily come up with a pair-Longbottom and Finley, how are you?"
