Chapter 236 Duel Club

"You mean, you want to start a duel club?"

Dumbledore looked at Gilderoy Lockhart in surprise, who suddenly came to him to apply for the dueling club.

"Yes," Lockhart said confidently, unaware of Dumbledore's idiotic look: "The murderer who attacked Filch's cat has not been caught yet, so I think the students at Hogwarts , it is necessary to learn some additional ways to protect yourself from me!”

"But, Gilderoy," Dumbledore's eyes narrowed slightly and he said with a faint smile in his tone: "Since the last attack, there has been no movement for almost two months."

"Maybe it's because he is jealous of me, an honorary member of the Defense Against Dark Arts Association!"

Lockhart wagged his finger at Dumbledore and said: "But we cannot place all our hopes on my reputation, Albus. It is still necessary to increase the students' self-defense means."

"Well, you're right, Gilderoy." Dumbledore raised his eyebrows, and the smile in his voice could hardly be suppressed. "I agree, so when do you plan to start?"

"Great!" Lockhart clapped his hands, "How about eight o'clock tomorrow night? In addition, I may need a professor to be my assistant."

"What do you think, Severus?"

Since Lockhart took the initiative to commit suicide, Dumbledore didn't mind digging a hole for him.

"Of course, no problem!" Lockhart was very happy and agreed immediately, "Originally, I planned to find Professor Flitwick, but Snape is also good."

In fact, Lockhart is just saying that. As a former student of Flitwick, he clearly knows that his strength is far inferior to Flitwick, and Professor McGonagall and Professor Sprout have such senior qualifications as him. Not within his target range.

But Professor Snape is different.

First of all, he was about the same age as Lockhart, and Lockhart subconsciously felt that Snape's level was not higher than his own.

Secondly, although the two were in different colleges and grades, they had crossed paths while they were at Hogwarts. Lockhart had seen Snape being bullied by the small group of "robbers". , so he preconceptionally felt that Snape was not a threat.

Thirdly, in Lockhart's opinion, Snape, a professor of potions, should only be good at preparing potions, and should be relatively average in combat.

Finally, Snape was thin, his face was either sallow or pale, and he looked sick, so there was no need to worry that he would be like Fish, who knocked himself over with fists and kicks without even using a wand.

What's more, Snape is also one of the four deans, a much better professor of divination or astronomy than Lockhart had previously imagined, which can better highlight his majesty.

Gilderoy Lockhart has not been having an easy time lately.

He had already lost his authority as a professor among the students because of Fish's punch, but at least because Fish liked to hear his stories, the others gave Lockhart more or less face.

However, on Halloween, after Mrs. Norris was petrified, Fish's attitude towards himself became subtle. Although he still listened to the stories he told in class, he was not as active in asking questions as before.

And Fish's attitude naturally affected other students. Those who already disliked Lockhart began to find trouble in his class, often choking him and making him miserable.

Lockhart thought for a long time in his office before he realized that it was probably because of his attitude towards Mrs. Norris that night that Fish was unhappy.

The evidence is that Filch's attitude towards himself changed significantly after that.

That's why Lockhart planned to open a dueling club, firstly to prove himself in front of the students, and secondly, in this way, to change Fish's view of himself. After all, his reason was to guard against the attacker.

Dumbledore didn't know what Lockhart had in mind, or in other words, he didn't care about what Lockhart had in mind.

The more a hypocritical guy like Lockhart does, the more he will reveal his incompetence, which is exactly what Dumbledore wants to expose his deception.

The only thing that gives Dumbledore a headache is that it's not even the Christmas break yet. If Lockhart behaves too badly, he may not make it to the end of the school year...

You need to go talk to Severus and ask him to be a little more merciful.

After sending Lockhart away, Dumbledore went to find Snape, and after some hard talking, he reluctantly agreed.

So the next day, there was an additional notice in the dormitories of the four colleges and on the bulletin board in the foyer, informing everyone that a duel club would be held tonight.

No matter which college the students were in, they were all discussing this matter with great interest.

"What is Duel Club?"

(●ω●)

Fish looked at Seamus with bright eyes. This name sounded very interesting.

"You want everyone to fight together, meow?"

"Ahem...it's not the same, it's not the same."

Remembering the amazing punch in the Defense Against the Dark Arts class, Seamo choked on his own saliva while he was talking, and he quickly explained to Fei Xu.

"It's true to say it's a fight, but everyone can only use magic wands to duel. The competition is based on the mastery of magic spells. It's a magic duel rather than a boxing match."

"Magic duel? Fish knows this, nya!"

(●ΦωΦ●)

Fish said excitedly: "I heard Minerva talk about meow, Filius is really good at this!"

The kitten swung its tail. After listening to so many stories about Professor Flitwick's magic duel, he was also very interested in this matter, but he never had the chance to try it... Professor McGonagall did not allow him to go to it. Other students fight.

Now that there is this opportunity, Fei Xu will not miss it.

At eight o'clock in the evening, Fish and Harry returned to the Great Hall together.

The long dining tables had been removed, and a gilded stage appeared along one wall. Hundreds of candles floated above the stage, illuminating the entire hall.

All the students in the school came to the auditorium, and everyone stood together according to the original long table positions of their respective colleges.

"I wonder who will teach us."

Everyone gathered together and chatted.

"It should be Filius, right? Minerva said he's awesome, nya."

Fish swung his tail and said excitedly: "Fish has always wanted to fight with him, meow!"

(●ω●)

"Uh..." The surrounding Gryffindors were silent for a moment, and then Sharpay explained to him: "I'm afraid this is unlikely. Even if a duel club is opened, it should be a competition between our students. The professor only Responsible for correcting our mistakes.”

"It doesn't matter, just wait until Fish defeats you all and then challenge Filius, nya!"

(●ΦωΦ●)

Fish raised his hands and shouted confidently.

"Well, Fisch... you can only use wands in magic duels, not hands."

Ron reminded weakly from the side.

"Of course Fish knows, I'm not a fool, meow!"

Even if he didn't take action, Fish was confident that he could defeat others. He didn't hear Professor McGonagall's stories for nothing!

Kitten is already a theoretical duel master!

Just when everyone was noisy, Gilderoy Lockhart, wearing a purple robe, walked onto the stage, followed by Snape with a gloomy face, and...

Professor McGonagall looked serious.
