Chapter 246 Professor Lockhart’s Club
While Andrew was breaking out in a cold sweat because of his guess, Lockhart, who had caused a sensation throughout the school, had successfully submitted the application form.
‘Then you have to think about who to deal with, and Professor Flitwick is absolutely impossible. ’
Professor Lockhart, wearing a pink robe, smiled and greeted the enthusiastic students passing by. He was still planning things for his club in his mind.
The beginning of the Duel Club requires a perfect victory.
He, Lockhart, will defeat his opponent with the support of the students, and then guide the students. Judging from the popularity of the duel club, most students will enter his club. No matter what happens after that, he can say Students use what he teaches.
This is a more direct teaching relationship than Defense Against the Dark Arts, and no one in the entire magical world will deny it.
‘That Professor Adams? Forget it, that fist...'
The tall and tall Professor Adams left his sight.
'Dumbledore - ah, this, why do I think of this? ’
'Professor McGonagall will definitely not be able to do it. If we win, the club will not be able to open...'
‘Professor Sprout… No, there’s no way to win against that professor. ’
After all, Professor Sprout is usually very kind and likes to take care of plants. Defeating her does not show Professor Lockhart's bravery at all.
‘Divination is not good, and Muggle studies are even worse. Alchemy is easy to overturn. Numerical divination is just like divination, unconvincing. So, what else is there? Well, magical creatures... this one is even less convincing. ’
The poor professor only had one and a half limbs left. Lockhart thought for a moment and felt that suggesting a duel would be unfavorable.
Ancient runes and astronomy are even more... As for the other new professors, they were not convincing either. Sirius Black would definitely be enough, but he thought about it and gave up this opportunity to become famous in one fell swoop.
'There's only one person left, and it's you, Snape! ’
This is a goal that couldn't be better - when he was in school, Snape was among the Death Eaters and had a mediocre reputation. He often suffered losses in fights. Now his reputation in school is even worse, and he is naturally not well-liked by the students. , even if he is not convincing enough to beat him down, the students will figure it out on their own.
Fuck Snape to relieve his anger after all!
'Very well, you can invite our Professor Snape, you are the next victim - let the students' resentment rise, and when they celebrate, Professor Lockhart will return to his peak! ’

"I've never heard of Lockhart's dueling club..."
Sirius yawned, "If we weren't colleagues, I would even say I don't know this person..."
"Don't you know? But the Duel Club..."
Harry really wanted to go - Sirius's step-by-step teaching of Transfiguration was indeed very good, but it always felt a bit different.
"Okay, you loser, go ahead. If you haven't studied enough, I'll review it for you. Although my dueling spells are not as good as the transformation spell, they are not comparable to those of ordinary wizards."
Sirius rubbed his godson's head and asked him to participate directly.
He could teach himself, but firstly it was a group social activity, and secondly he didn't know the level of the peacock. If the other party was really good at it, like Mad Eye, then he would be much better than him. .
'Speaking of which, I haven't even contacted him since I came out... That guy even spat in front of my cell back then. ’
Sirius suddenly remembered this old friend who had been disappointed in him back then.
'My job has stabilized, so it's time to contact me. There's also that guy Remus. He couldn't send the letter, and he didn't say he'd write to me...'
He let go of his godson's head and said, "Go and have fun with your friends!"
"Okay, Sirius!"
Harry didn't expect such a reply at all. He hugged Sirius and ran out. ——
"What tricks will Professor Lockhart do?"
"I'm looking forward to it too."
Andrew, who was pulled over by his roommate, nodded - the hall was full.
He also came to learn some dueling spells, even if he didn't study them in depth, it would be good to understand them.
No doubt Percy finally gave in, but it's also possible that McGonagall agreed.
Anyway, the new club just opened, and a special notice was even posted.
'However, it is a very valid reason for Professor Defense Against the Dark Arts to open a dueling club. After all, it is either he or the curse who is the master of dueling. But at Professor Flitwick's age... he really can't do this anymore...'
After all, this thing is so popular in Hogwarts, as if almost half of the school's students came tonight.
The fact that the main thing is to use magic to fight actually sounds cool and more direct than all the courses - Professor Flitwick is not busy with this.
‘The people here are really all-rounded. With Professor Lockhart’s name on the duel, everyone who likes fighting or not is here. ’
He looked at the group of people with a smile, hoping that Professor Lockhart would stop messing around.
'Especially don't look for Hagrid. If Hagrid punches him down, Professor Lockhart will probably cry for a long time. ’
But Professor Lockhart's appearance made him exclaim that he had learned something.
The purple-red wizard robe, the newly installed light suddenly hit Professor Lockhart, and followed him towards the center of the auditorium.
‘Damn it, when did this thing get installed and have this kind of function developed? Also, this natural ability to focus eyes is really cheating. ’
'But use transfiguration to slightly modify the lighting mechanism, and then...no, there is no spellcasting, is it an alchemical mechanism? ’
He looked at Professor Lockhart and saw that he had dug up another treasure.
Professor Lockhart actually knows alchemy?
No doubt if Andrew had known more about the professor, he would have known that he even developed his own alchemical hair lotion and some secretive cosmetics.
but…
'Damn it, Mr. Black, you shouldn't have been there...'
Andrew sighed.
As Professor Lockhart walked to the center of the auditorium, all the lights came on. Professor Black appeared in a remote part of the auditorium, looking at the center of the auditorium with a gentle expression.
Following his gaze, Andrew spotted Harry under a streak of bright red hair.
‘It can’t be based on Ron’s location...’
But this speculation is meaningless - most of the students have already been attracted by Professor Black's smile.
If Andrew hadn't been accustomed to inquiring in many ways, he wouldn't even have been able to detect the arrival of another wizard.
Yes, another wizard, a mystery to Andrew.
'Professor Snape, can I finally see some of your strength? ’
Andrew thought so as he looked at the inconspicuous black figure.
