Chapter 237: Eliminate Your Troubles

"Meow! It's Minerva!"

∑(●ΦДΦ●)

Fisch was startled when he saw Professor McGonagall.

The other students also fell silent, looking at each other.

The main reason was that the combination on the stage was too strange.

If it was just Lockhart, everyone would definitely be disappointed, but with Professor McGonagall and Professor Snape, the two deans of the college, the situation was different.

The abilities of the two of them were obvious to all students, unlike Lockhart, who was just a name.

But the positions of the three people on the stands seemed to indicate that Lockhart was the main initiator, and the subsequent developments also proved this.

"Come around! Come around! Can everyone see me? Can everyone hear me? Great!"

He waved his hands and loudly called on the students in the audience to come closer to him, while Professor Snape and Professor McGonagall stood behind without saying a word, allowing Lockhart to perform.

This strange situation made the students subconsciously obey Lockhart's command and move towards the stage.

"It's like this," Lockhart explained with a smile when everyone gathered around, "In order to prevent the situation like Mrs. Norris from happening again, I think you need to learn a little more self-defense methods, so I proposed to Dumbledore to open this small duel club."

Lockhart made it clear and first gained a good impression on Fish.

And his trick really worked on the simple little cat. After hearing what Fish, who had some opinions about Lockhart, thought that he was actually quite good, but sometimes he was not very good at talking.

"So Dumbledore allowed me to open this small duel club to fully train everyone in case you need to defend yourself one day and take the way I have used countless times to protect yourself - for details on this, please see my published works."

After a few words, Lockhart turned back to his own works. He was still very dedicated to selling books.

Seamus curled his lips below, "What can you learn from this guy? I don't know what Dumbledore is thinking... and Professor McGonagall, why would she let him host the duel club?"

At this time, Fash, who had regained his favor with Lockhart, defended him: "Gilderoy's spell that pulled out Harry's bones is quite powerful. If Fash was hit by that spell, it would be a headache."

When the people around heard it, they actually thought it made sense. After all, if the bones were pulled out, it would be very difficult to continue fighting.

So...

In fact, Lockhart is still a bit capable?

The Gryffindor students suddenly fell into confusion.

Fash's reminder was only one aspect. The key point was that Professor McGonagall and Snape were willing to be Lockhart's assistants, which confused everyone's views.

The actual situation was that Snape was asked by Dumbledore to cooperate with Lockhart to show up here. By the way, he also wanted to take the opportunity to see if he could take this opportunity to find trouble with Harry Potter.

Professor McGonagall was here just to prevent a little cat from causing another tragedy and sending the professor or other students to the infirmary. As for who would host the duel club, Professor McGonagall didn't care at all.

But the students didn't know this. They were misled by the two deans and were looking forward to the next teaching.

After Lockhart introduced his two assistants (who he thought of as) to the students with great enthusiasm, 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!"

As Professor McGonagall's voice sounded, Lockhart and Snape faced each other and bowed to each other...

At least Lockhart bowed, and then, like when he played against Fish, he turned his wand with both hands in many ways.

Snape shook his head impatiently. Although he promised Dumbledore that he would not embarrass Lockhart, he did not have much patience to play along with this idiot.

"Raise your wands, get ready--"

The two of them raised their wands in front of their chests, and then Lockhart quickly took over Professor McGonagall's job as referee and explained to the students in the audience: "As you can see, we hold our wands in a normal duel posture, and when Professor McGonagall counts to three, we will cast the first spell. Of course, neither of us will take the other's life."

After that, Lockhart turned his head and showed Professor McGonagall a hearty smile, and then made a "please continue" gesture to her.

Professor McGonagall pursed her lips, feeling very unhappy with Lockhart's behavior just now, and Snape on the other side also began to sneer, revealing his white teeth.

Seeing Snape's expression, Professor McGonagall secretly curled her lips and said, "One - two - three -"

As soon as Professor McGonagall said "three", Lockhart and Snape raised their wands over their shoulders almost at the same time, but in Fish's eyes, it was obvious that Snape was a little faster.

And this was indeed the case. Before Lockhart cast the spell, Snape had already pointed his wand at him and shouted, "Expelliarmus!"

A dazzling red light shot out from Snape's wand and hit Lockhart.

As a result, not only did his wand fall off due to the curse, but he also flew backwards, flying directly off the stage and hitting the wall, then slid down and curled up on the floor.

The second-year students of Gryffindor and Hufflepuff looked at each other... They seemed to have seen this scene before.

Fortunately, Lockhart staggered to his feet quickly. Apart from looking a little embarrassed, he had no injuries on his body.

Well, in Snape's understanding, he was showing mercy by not sending Lockhart into the infirmary like Fish did.

Lockhart didn't seem to have recovered from the impact of the curse. He staggered back to the stage as if he was drunk. He shook his head, finally sobered up a little, and then appeared as if nothing was wrong. His perfect smile.

But paired with his messy curly hair, it looks very funny.

"Okay, everyone has seen it!" Lockhart explained excitedly, without any embarrassment after being defeated, "This is a disarming spell - as you can see, I lost my wand...ah "Who picked up my wand? Please give it back to me, thank you."

A nine-inch cherry wood wand flew out from the crowd in a swirl. Lockhart couldn't see who had picked up his wand, and he just threw it towards the stage casually, and the direction was even deviated. He was two or three meters away.

A trace of anger 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 already low prestige among the students even more shaky.

Silently walking to the fallen wand, bending down to pick it up, Lockhart continued to smile and said, "Thank you to that unknown classmate, but you'd better not be so rough when handling the wand."

"Talking back to the disarming spell just now," Lockhart turned sideways and looked to the side, "Yes, Professor Snape, it is a great idea to show them this move. However, if I say so, you must not Mind you, your intention to do something like this just now is too obvious. If I want to stop you, there is no need to try hard. I think that in order to increase their knowledge, I might as well let them see..."

This is not the first time he has encountered this embarrassing situation. Lockhart has rich experience in making excuses. As for whether other people believe it or not, that is not within his scope of consideration. As long as his fans believe it... ...Although he doesn't seem to have many fans at Hogwarts.

Probably feeling the murderous aura coming from Snape, Lockhart decisively changed the subject after rambling 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 strong objections to Lockhart, she did not refuse to teach the students new knowledge. However, she ignored Lockhart's greeting and walked off the stage directly with Snape.

The three professors walked through the crowd, matching everyone up, and explaining to the younger students the precautions when casting the disarming spell... No matter how uneducated Lockhart was, he still knew how to cast the disarming spell. Yes, after all, this is not a very complicated spell.

Just when Professor McGonagall walked among the Gryffindor students, Fish, who could no longer hold himself back, jumped out.

"Minerva! Fish wants to duel you, meow!"
