Hogwarts Card System.

Chapter 147 Duel Club

The house elf Kaka said proudly: "Sir, this dish is called - Life is Impermanent!"

"Life is unpredictable? The name is quite philosophical. What ingredients is it made of?" Lockhart tasted another piece with great relish and asked with a nostalgic look on his face.

Kaka smiled and said, "It's the large intestine! The ingredient is the large intestine of the stone-toothed wild boar. The large intestine and the small intestine should be nested together repeatedly to achieve the best taste."

Lockhart's hands suddenly froze. "Large intestines and small intestines? Then, then what is the strange taste I tasted..."

Kaka said proudly: "The large intestine must retain some of its original flavor. Otherwise you won't know that you are eating large intestine. I did it on purpose~"

There was a loud bang in Lockhart's mind, as if he was struck by lightning. He hurriedly held onto the table and almost fell down!
Lockhart: It's so delicious that I want to chop my dick off!

For several days afterwards, Lockhart felt a loss of appetite.

Not only because I ate the Nine-Turn Large Intestine, but I also found that I actually thought it tasted pretty good!
However, business still needs to be done. Professor Lockhart is still very ambitious.

In Dumbledore's office, Lockhart happily handed over his plan.

Dumbledore looked at Lockhart with a scrutinizing gaze from behind his moon-rimmed glasses: "Dueling Club? The school hasn't had this for years."

Lockhart puffed out his chest and raised his head, showing his signature grin, trying to blind Dumbledore:
"That's why I applied to hold the duel club again. I think the kids nowadays haven't experienced much. They are too delicate and need more practical experience."

Dumbledore looked at the parchment in his hand and nodded slightly. "Well, in that case, okay..."

By lunch time, there was an extra piece of parchment on the notice board at the entrance of the auditorium.

"Duel Club?" The little wizard became excited when he saw the name.

"The school is going to have a duel club again?" a sixth grader asked in surprise. "The last time I heard about this was when I first entered school. I heard it has been discontinued for almost ten years!"

"You guys came at a great time!"

But some students began to pour cold water on the idea: "I don't think it will be a good time. Look at who is the advisor of the club?"

When many hot-blooded young wizards saw the name, their blood immediately turned cold: Lockhart, then it's okay.

Although Lockhart's name discouraged the interest of many classmates, there were still many young wizards interested in the Dueling Club.

Even if Lockhart isn't that great, we can always have a duel in the Dueling Club, right?
Learning magic but having no place to use it is like walking in the night in gorgeous clothes!

Lockhart's setting up of the Duelling Club is like a dog growing horns - he only does things for the foreigners.

Standing in front of the notice board, the group of six were looking at Lockhart's plan, which said that the first Dueling Club event would begin on the second weekend of next month, and all young wizards were welcome to participate.

It's already the end of November, and there's not much time left.

Harry was quite impatient about this matter: "Lockhart has set up a club, can he do it? No, he doesn't have the ability to do it, you know!"

Ron: "Bah, you don't even care about your face!"

Jerry: "After the elves, I started a play, and after the play, I started a club. In the end, there was nothing left to do!"

Neville also looked worried. After all, he was the second male lead after Ted in the Defense Against the Dark Arts drama club.

If Ted plays the omnipotent and handsome protagonist Lockhart, then Neville is the iron-clad villain, such as werewolf, old witch, female ghost, snowman and so on.

Neville was exhausted both physically and mentally: I had no role to play before, but now I want to play a good guy!
If we were to hold a duel club, it goes without saying that I would have to go on stage and make a fool of myself.

Neville was wondering if he should break his arm.
Hermione was a little angry and asked Ted: "How long do we have left in the school year?" - How long will the curse take effect?
Ted shrugged. "There's still half a year left in next year!"

……

Ted didn't care much about Lockhart's club, after all, it was a famous plot in the original book.

But the next day, he suddenly realized that something was wrong...

The next day, Saturday, Ted had just come back from washing up and was about to go for morning exercise when he found that his roommates were already awake and were getting dressed with great interest.

Ted asked Terry, who was teasing Ansu who was still asleep and was pecked on the finger by Ansu, "Terry, why did you get up so early today?"

Terry blew on his red fingers and said excitedly, "Of course it's because of today's Quidditch!"

Quidditch match, today is Gryffindor vs Slytherin.

The feud between father and son is of course exciting.

Ted thought about it for a moment and discovered what he had overlooked.

In the original book, it seemed to be a Quidditch match, because Dobby controlled the Bludger and broke Harry's arm, and then Lockhart used a "secret bone-extracting curse", causing the originally minor injury to force him to stay in the school hospital for a night.

The medicine he drank was the bone-growing spirit developed by several generations of the Potter family's ancestors.

It is said that the first generation of Potter was a herbalist.

The key point is not here, but Harry's die-hard fan, the first-year Muggle wizard Colin Creevey, who was petrified because he secretly visited his idol at night.

This is why Lockhart wanted to hold a dueling club. Now it's ahead of schedule?
Also, is there anyone who is going to suffer tonight?

But even though Dobby hasn't been treated yet, Neville won't be playing in the game, so it's unlikely that a Quidditch player would fall and smash him into the school hospital, right?

Besides, Colin had already been taught a lesson by Ted. Now, when taking photos, they had to ask the six-member team for permission before taking photos.

After all, if you haven’t been able to eat dinner because your teeth are too long, you don’t want to experience it a second time.

Fans, you have to train them, right?
So, will anyone be in trouble?

……

There were so many people at the Quidditch field.
Students from the four colleges were in an orderly manner. They were already shouting, cheering, and giving each other the middle finger before the game even started.

The competitions of other colleges did not attract so much attention, and the competition between Lion College and Snake College was somewhat personal.

In the past, Ravenclaw students were relatively neutral. Although many of them disliked Slytherin, they would not openly support Gryffindor. After all, not helping either side is the smart choice!
But not everyone is so "rational".

For example, Luna.

Luna wore a lion head hat that covered her entire head, with only her fair face showing through the lion's mouth. She was very conspicuous in the crowd.

Ted thought it was interesting, "Do you need my help?"

Under Luna's confused eyes, Ted cast a spell on the lion hat.

The lion head suddenly came alive, its eyes moved around, and it opened its mouth and roared: "Ah~~~"

The MGM lion logo, shaking its head, ow ow ow ~
Everyone nearby looked at Luna, and her face turned slightly red, which was rare.

As for the lion hat, no one cares about it and it keeps making noise all day long!
Although everyone cheers for Gryffindor, he is useless when given the opportunities.

Gryffindor still lost, although the score difference was not big.

The process and result of the game are not important to Ted.

Ted searched for possible Dobby throughout the game, but to no avail.

The little thing seemed to have given up.

That night, Ted stayed up all night, staring at the Marauder's Map, ready to go at any time.

As a result, I stayed up all night, but nothing happened except seeing Harley and Jerry swimming until 12 o'clock.

Boil
Ted could clearly feel the changes in the original plot.

Last year was fine, but this year my little butterfly's wings have become stronger and the wind they create is stronger.

The next day, the friends discovered that Ted was wearing glasses.
Ted made a pair of flat mirrors, using all the technology he could master, alchemy, magic, magic... but there was still no guarantee that it could withstand the gaze of the basilisk.

……

It was already the end of the month, and Ted and his friends were taking flying lessons.

Ted took advantage of this opportunity, flew high into the sky and used his Taoist knowledge to overlook the castle.

Although I don't have a compass, I can still tell the general direction, plus the terrain from a high altitude view.

The Black Lake, the Forbidden Forest, the mountains, and the castle on the hillside, the feng shui of Hogwarts is indeed excellent!

It's even a bit too good, there must be some artificial modification involved.

Just as astrology, astronomy, and calendar contain some magical principles, the topography and veins also contain the magic of the earth.

The so-called auspicious day has excellent feng shui. It turns out that the mysterious sides of the East and the West have similarities in some ways.

But Ted had no interest in Feng Shui.

The top-notch man-made feng shui pattern can make a family prosperous for five generations, but it cannot stop an Avada from biting the big melon.

This thing might be useful when building a castle or something like that, but it's not very helpful in combat.

That night, Ted took out the Marauder's Map as usual to monitor the castle, but he found Neville as soon as he unfolded it.

Neville also went out for a night walk?

No! The name next to him is Dobby!
Well, after searching for so long, you finally showed up! If I had known, I would have just waited for you!

Ted immediately tiptoed out of the dormitory and went to the main tower in stealth.

Besides wearing the pair of "must-not-die glasses" along the way, he also had his spirit crystal servant Parker leading the way at every intersection.

It can be said to be extremely cautious.
