Hogwarts: Bourne Returns from Warhammer

On the evening of the day Lockhart left again, Bourne was about to go through the hall to have something to eat in the Great Hall when he suddenly saw a group of people gathered around the notice board, reading the words on a piece of parchment that had just been nailed up. .

The Weasley twins looked very excited and kept calling people around to come and take a look.

Seeing Bourne approaching, his other roommate Seamus Finnigan greeted him, and then introduced what the parchment on the notice board meant like "tap water".

"They are going to open a dueling club! The first meeting is tonight. I am not opposed to learning some dueling lessons. It may come in handy one day..."

At this time, Ron and Harry also came over, and he also read the notice with great interest.

"Hey, the duel club organized by Lockhart is great." He said with a smile.

And this sarcastic remark was still met with a shudder from Hermione.

"Have you not heard that Professor Lockhart used an exquisite banishing spell after class and banished Peeves in one go?"

It can only be said that fans are always the best informed about idols. Although she didn't see it with her own eyes, Hermione still knew it clearly.

At this time, the twins also came over.

"Do you want to participate in the bet?" George asked the lower grade students with a smile, "As long as 6 copper Knuts, you can bet on the outcome of the duel. We accept buzzer bets before the duel begins."

"Professor McGonagall knows you are doing this, she will definitely ask you to clean the toilet." Ron did not agree with the bold behavior of his two brothers, and these words also made Fred kiss him with his arms. The ground held his neck.

"Don't listen to his nonsense, this is just a small entertainment event. Besides, doesn't Professor McGonagall only return to Hogwarts next week?" Fred said.

"Are you going to this event? I think we may have underestimated Lockhart's abilities," George took over. "Fred and I witnessed with our own eyes the scene where he subdued Peeves. He did use two very amazing 'repelling spells' - how should I put it - I couldn't understand it at all. Just by saying the right spell, But the casting gesture is completely wrong. In this case, how did the professor successfully release the spell?"

"This is called professionalism." Hermione said seriously.

She even raised her mouth happily when she said this when she had the opportunity to rectify her idol's name.

"Bourne, are you going to take a look?" Fred looked at Bourne, "I think the duel spell will always come in handy."

Bourne thought about it and felt that there was nothing to lose in going to take a look, so he agreed.

Harry and Hermione both agreed to go. Even though Ron was a little reluctant, he ultimately chose to go with the crowd.

At eight o'clock in the evening, after sorting out some books in the library, Bourne first asked for a half-day leave from Mrs. Pince, and then returned to the auditorium.

The long dining table disappeared, replaced by a gilded stage along one wall, lit by hundreds of candles floating above.

The ceiling was once again velvet black.

Moreover, almost all the students from the school came, crowded together, everyone holding their own wands, their faces full of excitement.

The twins, with a few little wizards, squeezed sideways into the chattering crowd.

Bourne heard several young wizards from Ravenclaw saying: "...Someone told me that Professor Flitwick was a dueling champion when he was young. Maybe it was our dean who taught us."

However, it turned out to be very wrong.

When the time agreed in the notice came, Professor Flitwick did not appear in the auditorium at all, and not even the other professors came.

Only Gilderoy Lockhart walked onto the stage, resplendent in a purple robe.

Lockhart waved the little wizards to calm down and stay quiet for a few minutes: "Come around, come around! Can everyone see me? Can everyone hear me? Great!

Is such that--

I have reported to Headmaster Dumbledore, and he has allowed me to open this small dueling club to fully train everyone in case you need to defend yourself one day. Protect yourself in the same way that I have used countless times - if you want to know this For details, please see my published works..."

After a brief introduction of 10 minutes (tears, he only gave himself so much advertising this time), Gilderoy Lockhart got down to business.

He introduced the basic rules of wizard duels to everyone, and then explained to the young wizards present one of the most commonly used spells in wizard duels - the "Disarming Curse" - and also taught its gestures. , casting mentality, and a series of other precautions.

When it comes to professionalism, although it is definitely not as good as Professor Flitwick, who specializes in teaching Charms classes, he can quote from many sources about a spell and tell young wizards its origin, development, and some related examples and counterexamples, but it is relatively good. Compared with his previous performance in the Defense Against the Dark Arts class, Lockhart really showed off his skills this time and taught a lot of useful information.

After the explanation was completed, he even found a seventh-year Slytherin student, Fanet, who is now the student union president of Hogwarts, as a "model" to demonstrate this spell to him.

"one two three--"

Standing on the long stage, while counting down, Lockhart and Fanet simultaneously put their wands close to the tip of their noses and performed a duel salute.

Immediately afterwards, the two men suddenly raised their wands over their shoulders almost simultaneously. Lockhart shouted: "Expelliarmus!" Suddenly a dazzling red light flashed, and Fanet was struck unsteadily. He flew backwards off the stage, hit the wall, then slid down and curled up on the On a soft cushion that had been placed there beforehand.

Except for the sullen Slytherin students, many students clapped and cheered excitedly, and Hermione also jumped up and down on tiptoes.

"How do you recite this incantation? Damn it, I forgot an important point of the professor's lecture." She covered her mouth with her fingers, feeling excited and nervous at the same time.

"who cares!"

Harry and Ron said at the same time.

They had secretly learned the Disarming Charm last year. Ron was pretty good at using it, and Harry was even better at it, so this spell didn't interest them.

On the contrary, it was Bourne who saw something different.

"Is this open?"

Bourne noticed that when Lockhart was casting a spell, one of the "pearls" hanging on the tail of his wand flickered unnaturally.

Although the flicker was very weak and difficult to detect with the naked eye under the lighting provided by the candlestick, Byrne believed he was right.

Moreover, because he can also use the disarming spell, his intuition about magic told him that the magic wave that Lockhart emitted when he cast the spell just now did not seem to be the magic wave that "Expelliarmus" should have.

"Stories are stories, reality is reality." Byrne thought to himself.

In fact, when Bourne realized that he had traveled to the world of Harry Potter, he had a full understanding that his appearance would inevitably affect the plot of this fairy tale.

Therefore, when the duel club organized by Lockhart did not greatly embarrass its organizer - but even made a small appearance - Bourne actually did not find this kind of thing unacceptable.
