Fish was startled when he saw Professor McGonagall.
And the other students also fell silent, looking at each other.
The main reason is that the combination on stage is really weird.
If it was just Lockhart alone, everyone would be disappointed, but with the deans of the two colleges, Professor McGonagall and Professor Snape, the situation is different.
The abilities of the two of them are obvious to all the students, and they are not the same as that guy in Lockhart who has no reputation.
However, with the positions of the three in the stands, it seemed that Lockhart was the main initiator, and the subsequent developments also proved this point.
"Come around! Come around! Can everyone see me? Can everyone hear me? Great!"
He waved his hands, calling loudly to the students in the audience to approach him, while Professor Snape and Professor McGonagall stood behind without saying a word, allowing Lockhart to play.
This weird situation made the students subconsciously obey Lockhart's command and lean towards the stage.
"That's right," Lockhart explained with a smile on his face when everyone surrounded him, "In order to prevent Mrs. Norris from happening again, I think you need to learn a little more self-defense methods, so I asked Dumbledore suggested starting this little dueling club."
Lockhart made a clear statement, and first built a wave of goodwill with Fish.
And his trick did work on the simple kitten. Fish, who had some complaints about Lockhart at first, felt that Lockhart was actually pretty good, but sometimes he was not very good at talking.
"So Dumbledore allowed me to start this little dueling club, to train you all well in case you ever needed to defend yourself, in the same way I've used countless times - for details on this, see my published work."
After saying a few words, Lockhart turned back to his own works. He is still very dedicated to selling books.
Seamus curled his lips below, "What can I learn from this guy? I don't know what Dumbledore thinksand Professor McGonagall, why did you let him host the dueling club?"
At this time, Fish, who had regained his affection for Lockhart, defended him: "The spell that took out Harry's bones from Gilderoy is quite powerful, if Fish is hit by that spell , it will also give me a headache, meow."
When the people next to him heard it, they actually thought it was quite reasonable. After all, if all the bones were taken out, it would be very difficult to continue fighting.
so””
In fact, Lockhart still has some skills?
The Gryffindor students suddenly fell into a daze.
Fish's reminder is only one aspect. The key point is that both Professor McGonagall and Snape are willing to serve as Lockhart's assistants, which confuses everyone's views.
The actual situation is that Snape was asked by Dumbledore to show up here in cooperation with Lockhart. By the way, he also wanted to take this opportunity to see if he could take this opportunity to find Harry Potter Trouble.
And Professor McGonagall will appear here just to prevent a certain little fur cat from making trouble again and sending the professor or other students into the infirmary. As for who will host the dueling club, Professor McGonagall doesn't care at all.
However, the students didn't know this. They were misled by the two deans, and they looked forward to the next teaching.
? After Lockhart happily introduced the two assistants to the students (he thought of them), he invited Snape to do a small demonstration with him before class.
Lockhart and Snape stood on both sides of the stage, while Professor McGonagall stood in the center of the stage as the referee.
"Bow!"
Following Professor McGonagall's voice, Lockhart and Snape faced each other and bowed to each other
At least Lockhart bowed, and then, as he did against Fish, he turned his wand in many tricks with both hands.
And Snape shook his head very impatiently. Although he promised Dumbledore that he would not let Lockhart be too embarrassing, he didn't have much patience to act with this idiot.
"Wand raised, ready to”Ŗ"
The two each raised their wands to their chests, and then Lockhart quickly grabbed Professor McGonagall's referee job and explained to the students in the audience: "As you can see, we use ordinary duel hold the wand in the right position, and wait until Professor McGonagall counts to three before we cast the first spell. Of course, I ???No one will take the other's life. "
After finishing speaking, Lockhart turned to Professor McGonagall with a hearty smile, and then made a "please continue" gesture to her.
Professor McGonagall pursed his lips, feeling very displeased with Lockhart's behavior just now, and Snape on the other side also began to sneer, showing his white teeth.
Seeing Snape's appearance, Professor McGonagall twitched the corner of his mouth secretly, and then said: "One”Ŗtwo”Ŗthree”Ŗ"
As soon as Professor McGonagall said the word "three", Lockhart and Snape raised their wands over their shoulders almost at the same time, but in Fisher's eyes, it was obvious that Snape was faster.
And the fact is also true, before Lockhart cast the spell, Snape had already pointed his wand at him, and shouted: "Disarm!"
A blinding red light shot out from Snape's wand and hit Lockhart.
As a result, not only did his wand fall out of his hand because of the spell, but he also flew backwards, flew directly off the stage and hit the wall, then slipped down and curled up on the floor.
The Gryffindor and Hufflepuff second-years looked at each otherthey seemed to have seen it before.
Fortunately, Lockhart quickly staggered to his feet. Apart from looking a little embarrassed, there was no injury on his body.
Well, in Snape's understanding, he didn't send Lockhart into the infirmary like Fish did, so he was showing mercy.
Lockhart didn't seem to have recovered from the impact of the spell, he staggered back to the stage as if he was drunk, he shook his head, finally regained consciousness, and then showed up like a normal person His perfect smile.
It's just that with his messy curly hair, it looks very funny.
"Okay, everyone saw it!" Lockhart explained beamingly, without the embarrassment of being defeated at all, "This is a disarming spell-as you can see, I lost my wand ah , has anyone picked up my wand? Please hand it back to me, thank you."
A nine-inch cherry wood wand swirled out of the crowd. Lockhart couldn't see who had picked up his wand, and it just casually flung it towards the stage, and the direction was deviated. He has a distance of two or three meters.
A trace of sullenness flashed across Lockhart's handsome face with a bright smile, but he quickly suppressed it. He also knew that his performance just now made his little prestige among the students even more shaky.
Silently walked to the dropped wand, bent down and picked it up, Lockhart continued to smile and said, "Thank you to that unknown classmate, but it's best not to be so rough when dealing with wands."
"Talking about the Disarming Curse just now," Lockhart turned sideways and looked aside, "Yes, Professor Snape, it's a great idea to show them this move, but don't tell me that. Mind you, your intention to come here just now is too obvious. If I want to stop you, I don't need to do anything. I think, in order to increase their knowledge, you might as well let them see"
This is not the first time he has encountered such an embarrassing situation. Lockhart has a wealth of experience in making excuses. As for whether other people believe it or not, it is not within his consideration, as long as his fans believe it ”although he doesn't seem to have many fans at Hogwarts.
Probably feeling the murderous intent coming from Snape, Lockhart changed the subject decisively after raving nonsense for a while, "This is the end of the demonstration! Now I will come among you and divide you into groups of two. Professor Snape, and Professor McGonagall, if you are willing to help me"
Although Professor McGonagall had great dissatisfaction with Lockhart, she did not refuse to teach the students new knowledge, but she ignored Lockhart's greeting and walked off the stage with Snape directly.
The three professors walked through the crowd, paired everyone up, and explained to the younger students the precautions when casting the Disarming Curse No matter how ignorant Lockhart is, he still knows how to cast the Disarming Curse Yes, it's not too complicated a spell after all.
Just when Professor McGonagall walked among the Gryffindor students, Fish, who had already been unable to restrain himself, jumped out.
