The Ancient Wizards of Hogwarts

Chapter 100 Harley is dueling

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

At least Lockhart was bowing, making many fancy but meaningless movements with his hands, causing many female students to exclaim. Opposite him, Snape was obviously impatient.

Like dueling knights, they each raised their wands to their chests like swords.

"As you can see, we hold our wands in a normal dueling position,"

With a confident smile on his face, Lockhart was even able to explain to other students after the duel, "On the count of three, the duel officially begins. We release magic on each other. Of course, none of us will take the other's life. "

"That's not necessarily the case." Cassandra snorted. She was very dissatisfied with Lockhart. Professor Snape had better kill him!

"one two three……"

The two of them raised their wands above their heads at the same time. Lockhart was still counting the seconds with ease. He didn't even start to recite the incantation immediately after shouting "three". Instead, Snape seized the opportunity and shouted:

"Expelliarmus!"

The tip of the wand shot out a dazzling red light, hitting Lockhart who was unable to dodge in the blink of an eye. Lockhart's wand was quickly released, and he himself flew directly off the stage, his back hit the wall hard, and then fell hard to the floor, curling up in pain.

Hermione was a little shocked, and Harry couldn't help but asked in a low voice:

"Is the disarming spell so powerful?"

She remembered that the function of the disarming spell was obviously just to disarm!

"Of course not normally,"

Cassandra raised the corner of her mouth slightly, not hiding her gloating, "But Professor Snape has some personal grudges, maybe because Lockhart regarded him as the target of the duel, which made Professor Snape feel insulted. Bar."

Cassandra took the lead in applauding, and even the Slytherin students also clapped and booed. Although Slytherin's cheers sounded harsh to some Gryffindors, many students still clapped and cheered, led by the Geminis.

It doesn't matter whether Snape wins or not, the point is that Lockhart is embarrassed!

Although they hate Professor Snape, Professor Snape does have real abilities anyway.

Where's Lockhart?

Not only were the books extremely expensive, forcing their father to borrow money to buy them books, but he also had no skills at all!

Classes are completely perfunctory, and accidents often occur, and even duels are lost easily. Anyway, as long as they can see Lockhart make a fool of himself, they don't care who wins the duel!

Lockhart staggered up and re-entered the stage with a trembling figure. He still tried his best to show his grace, as if the embarrassment just now had nothing to do with him.

Lockhart said harshly:

"You all saw it! It's a disarming charm, and as you can see, I lost my wand."

A Gryffindor girl picked up the wand for Lockhart, which put a smile on his face again:

"Ah, thank you, Miss Brown."

"Yes, Professor Snape, it is indeed good to let them see this trick. But with all due respect, your intention is too obvious and can be easily seen through. It is really easy to stop you."

"I think so, Professor Lockhart."

Snape interrupted him with a cold tone, "I just deliberately slowed down the spelling speed just now, just to hope that the students can see it more clearly, so you might as well demonstrate to the students how to resist the disarming spell. This is exactly Isn’t that the point of this showdown?”

Lockhart's smile that he managed to squeeze out suddenly froze. He was so angry that his intestines were filled with regret. How could he choose Snape as his opponent? Snape was obviously not a simple Potions professor, and he would only get a beating if he did it again.

Cold sweat gradually broke out on Lockhart's forehead, and he laughed dryly:

"I don't think it's necessary..."

Snape interrupted him mercilessly and said calmly:

"Of course it is necessary. As professors, we should tell students how to deal with this situation, instead of just being beaten passively."

"certainly."

Snape looked at the trembling Lockhart and suddenly changed the subject, "If you are not confident in your own strength, you can attack and I will defend."

Lockhart suddenly became energetic, a smile appeared on his face again, and he said loudly:

"Of course I am confident in myself, but Professor Snape seems to be equally confident, and I am willing to give you this opportunity."

Lockhart raised his wand again, took a stance, made all preparations, and said loudly:

"one two three……"

"Expelli—armus!"

"Protego!"

Lockhart's movements were obviously unfamiliar and he cast the spell, while Snape also recited the spell at the same time.

The dazzling red light was finally released from Lockhart's wand, but before the spell hit Snape, it had been deflected by the invisible barrier in front of Snape and was re-directed towards him impartially. Lockhart!

Snapped!

The wand in Lockhart's hand was released again, and Snape almost without any hesitation gave him another shot of Expelliarmus:

"Expelliarmus!"

boom!

Professor Lockhart flew backwards again, and his body hit the wall hard. All the students present seemed to hear a crisp click sound. When they looked at Professor Lockhart lying on the ground, he was sweating profusely in pain and groaning in pain while covering his twisted right hand.

"It hurts to hear it." Harley shuddered, she definitely didn't want to be like this!

"It seems that Professor Lockhart cannot continue to preside over the duel, so I will take over."

Professor Snape walked towards the center of the stage, with a contemptuous smile on his lips, but his tone remained calm, "Miss Brown, you and your friends will take Professor Lockhart to the campus hospital."

Lavender Brown, who was named, did not dare to refuse, so he could only step forward to help Professor Lockhart, who was groaning in pain.

"Easy! Hiss~ah, it hurts!"

Snape's gaze was as sharp as a falcon, and all the students caught in his gaze fell silent. The atmosphere in the auditorium was almost frozen, and everyone felt an indescribable restraint and fear in their hearts, for fear that they would also be selected as opponents and become Professor Lockhart.

"Don't worry."

Professor Snape seemed to be able to see through their hearts. He said calmly, "The fracture is just a minor injury. It can be healed after staying in the school hospital for one night. Tomorrow night, Professor Lockhart can still stand here and teach you about Dueling skills.”

At this time, Professor Lockhart, who had just reached the oak door and had not yet left the auditorium, froze.

Again?

Do you still want to live?

Snape spoke slowly:

"Now, I need a couple volunteers."

The students around the stage all took a step back. They all lowered their heads for fear of being called out by Snape.

"I come!"

Cassandra raised her hands proudly, "Me and Harley!"

"very good!"

Professor Snape smiled happily and said softly:

"Looks like Slytherin has more courage than Gryffindor."

"Ten points for Slytherin!"

Slytherin immediately burst into cheers and applause, while the Gryffindor students felt much more complicated.

They want to refute, but with what refutation? Wasn't what they just did was to back off?

At least at this moment, the courage of those two girls was indeed superior to them.

Cassandra's small, white chin was slightly raised, and the corners of her grinning mouth revealed the girl's unabashed confidence:

"Harry, I will definitely win this time."

When the two people faced each other and bowed, Harry whispered:

"Cassandra, can you be gentler..."

Cassandra was like a cat whose tail was stepped on, and her hair instantly exploded:

"No, this is the price you have to pay for running away!"

Snape raised his eyebrows slightly and said calmly:

"Remember, the duel is limited to disarming the opponent. I don't want any accidents to happen. I count to three-"

"one two three!"

Almost at the same time that Snape counted to three, Cassandra and Harry chanted the curse almost at the same time:

"Expelliarmus!"

As the girls chanted overlapping spells, two red lights shot towards each other from their wands.

But just as they were about to hit each other, they were all deflected by an invisible barrier. Two lucky people who were watching were randomly selected and let their wands fly high.

"cool!"

The twins made no secret of their amazement, and the other students were even more incredible!

"What did I see? Is that the Iron Armor Curse?!"

"And it's silent casting! Silent casting! Do you know what this means?"

"They are only in the second grade! Oh my god! What were I doing when I was in the second grade? Don't talk about the Iron Armor Curse, I can't even cast Expelliarmus!"

"Don't talk about the second grade, I'm in the sixth grade now and I can't cast a decent armor spell!"

"That's not right! Isn't the Iron Armor Curse taught only in senior grades? Where did they learn it?"

Gradually, more and more students discovered Hua Dian, and the twins looked at each other, and suddenly their eyes lit up, and George said loudly:

"I know, it's their cloak! It's the latest anti-spell cloak from the BMW Magic Store, which can automatically release the Iron Armor Curse!"

Fred echoed:

"Miss Malfoy's father is one of the shareholders of the BMW Magic Store, so it's normal for her to be able to get the latest cloaks."

A Gryffindor boy asked curiously:

"I remember your father is also a shareholder, right? Do you have one too?"

"No."

The two hands spread out, their expressions extremely helpless.

Don't ask, you just can't afford it!

As for why Arthur Weasley, as a shareholder of the BMW Magic Store, still spends money to buy his own products, this is of course because of Arthur's own insistence. He had already gotten a huge advantage and got two cents of dividends for free. What would happen if he also used the goods from the store for free? Definitely have to spend money to buy it!

However, a spell-proof cloak costs up to 120 Galleons. There are a total of seven children in the Weasley family, including the Weasleys, which makes them nine. Each person wears a curse-proof cloak, which is one thousand and eighty gold galleons!

Not to mention the previous Weasley family, even the current Weasley family cannot withstand such a thing!

At least in Arthur's opinion, most of his children were at Hogwarts anyway and would not encounter any danger at all on weekdays, so there was no need to spend money on anti-curse cloaks. Because the only people in the Weasley family who are actually equipped with anti-curse cloaks are Mr. and Mrs. Weasley and Bill and Charlie who have graduated.

To put it bluntly, even if the Geminis did have spell-proof cloaks, they would not be able to use them in a duel. Because this duel is obviously for fun, what kind of family can afford to spend a curse-proof cloak worth 120 galleons for such a trivial matter?

But no matter what, what was originally a serious duel was turned into a live broadcast by Gemini.

George still said mysteriously:

"Although we don't have one, I can help you get one. You know the internal channels."

Fred echoed:

"For internal channels, the price will definitely be a bit more expensive, and the quantity is limited, first come, first served~!"

Faced with the naked temptation of Gemini, many students were "thrilled" by it and wished they could place an order on the spot, even if it was for a higher price.

But there are also students who sneer at it, such as the Slytherin students - not at the curse-proof cloak, but at the Gemini's so-called internal channels. After all, Cassandra's father is also one of the shareholders of BMW. Since the Gemini has internal channels, Of course Cassandra has it, so why should they go to Gemini to buy it? Isn't it the same with Cassandra?

"NICE!"

The twins quietly high-fived themselves, applauding their wit. At the same time, I was going to discuss with my father to see if I could get some anti-curse cloaks to sell at the school.

Although most students certainly cannot afford it, Hogwarts is the only magic school in the UK. Wizards from all over the country will study at Hogwarts, and naturally there are many rich brothers among them. Even if only a few rich guys buy it, Gemini can make a lot of money!

The audience was in full swing, and the stage was equally in full swing.

The duel between Harley and Cassandra has reached a fever pitch. Since both sides have anti-spell cloaks, the process of this duel has become very long, because the goal of Harley and Cassandra is not to win, but to consume. Each other's armor.

Whoever cannot withstand the Iron Armor Curse first will lose.

"Expelliarmus!"

Another disarming spell hit the shield, and Harry's wand also fired a spell to counterattack.

Although the curse was still blocked by the shield, unlike the previous times, Harley suddenly heard a crisp cracking sound.

Click!

Harley was horrified, knowing that the shield would not last long, and that one more spell would be completely ineffective. She hurriedly tried to cast a spell to counterattack - because she had not yet learned the Iron Armor Charm, she faced Cassandre. Pull's curse, the only thing she can do is to hold on to the belief that we will die together, and also break the opponent's iron armor curse, causing both parties to lose at the same time.

But the current situation is that Harley is obviously one curse behind Cassandra.

Even if she succeeds in breaking Cassandra's spell, Cassandra's spell will knock her wand away.

So, she had to get some special help.

"Don't blame me, Cassandra!"

Harley secretly took out another wand from her pocket - it was the disarming wand invented by Ash. Although it could only cast disarming spells, it allowed her to release two disarming spells at the same time, which could break Cassandra's shield. At the same time, knock her wand away!

However.

When Harley raised her head and looked at Cassandra opposite, she realized that the latter was also holding a wand in one hand.

Obviously, these best friends have exactly the same idea.

Harley and Cassandra looked at each other and said loudly at the same time:

"Expelliarmus!"

Snapped!

The barrier in front of Harley was completely shattered. She only felt pain in her body and staggered back two steps. The two wands flew out at the same time.

When she looked at Cassandra, she found that she was standing firmly on the stage, still holding the wand in her hand.

A proud smile appeared on Cassandra's face, and she silently mouthed to Harley:

"This time, I won."

"It doesn't hurt too much." Harley rubbed her wrist and whispered.

Snape's eyes swept over the two of them, and he praised softly:

"An outstanding duel, you did a good job, I will add 10 points for Slytherin's wonderful duel!"

"Now, are there any other students who want to give it a try?"

Although the repeated bonus points were suspected of favoritism, even the Gryffindor students did not have any dissatisfaction.

Because as Snape said, this was indeed a wonderful showdown.

Even though many of them have had many duels in private, none of them have been as 'thrilling' as now. Many of them even realized for the first time that duels with the Iron Armor Curse and those without the Iron Armor Curse are completely different things. !

Even though she had already walked off the stage, Cassandra still had an excited and proud smile on her face and hummed softly:

"Hmph, it's a pity that Ash isn't here."

Harley whispered:

"You can't beat Ash."

Cassandra raised her chin and said proudly:

"I don't need to defeat Ash, I just need to show him that I beat you!"

Harley's cherry-like little mouth was slightly pursed. She didn't want to continue discussing with Cassandra, so she looked at the brown-haired girl aside and asked:

"Hermione, do you want to go up and try?"

Hermione took a deep breath and nodded slightly:

"I want to try."

She had been practicing magic for nearly a year and a half, and now was the time to put her learning to the test, preferably on a Gryffindor student.

Snape glanced at the three little ones who were talking with his peripheral vision, and he said calmly:

"I think the next duel can be left to Gryffindor."

"Miss Granger, you and Miss Patil come up and try."

——

For Harley and Cassandra, who have just learned magic, the duel is an exciting thing to do.

But for Ash, any duel that is not aimed at killing is just playing house.

So he didn't join the Duel Club, and he didn't even plan to watch the match.

At this time, he was conducting special training on anacondas in the Forbidden Forest.

Click!

The dozens of feet long giant snake turned back into a plump girl. Looking at the red deer she stared to death, she whispered guiltily, "Ash, am I stupid?"

This was already the tenth red deer she had stared to death.

"Not really."

Ash took off his blindfold, rubbed the girl's short dark green hair, and comforted her with a gentle smile, "This is almost an instinct for you. It's not that simple to control your instinct."

The anaconda's 'Evil Eye' has the ability to stare anyone to death. This is itself a kind of 'Avada Kedavra', and it is instant, has no CD, and is almost equivalent to a passive Avada Kedavra. Although it still has a closed The weakness of instant death can be avoided by just looking at it, but this is an exaggeration enough.

What Ash wanted to know was where her abilities came from.

Even if it is natural, it will definitely leave traces of the operation of magic power.

As long as traces are left, there is a possibility of re-enactment!
