Chapter 246 Professor Lockhart's Club

While Andrew was scared out of his wits by his own guess, Lockhart, who caused a sensation in the whole school, had successfully submitted the application form.

"Then we have to think about who to deal with. Professor Flitwick is absolutely impossible."

Professor Lockhart, dressed in a pink robe, greeted the enthusiastic students passing by with a smile, while still planning the affairs of his own club in his mind.

The beginning of the Duel Club requires a perfect victory.

He, Lockhart, will defeat his opponents with the support of the students, and then instruct the students. Judging from the popularity of the duel club, most of the students will join his club. No matter what happens afterwards, he can say that the students used what he taught them.

This is a more direct teaching relationship than Defense Against the Dark Arts, and no one in the entire wizarding world will deny it.

'That Professor Adams? Never mind, that fist...'

The tall and strong Professor Adams disappeared from his sight.

'Dumbledore - ah, well, why did I think of that?'

"Professor McGonagall definitely can't do that. If we win, the club won't be able to open..."

'Professor Sprout... No, beating that professor is not convincing at all.'

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, Muggle studies are even worse, alchemy is easy to fail, and number divination is just as unconvincing as divination. So, what else is there? Well, magical creatures... this is even less convincing."

The poor professor was left with only half a limb. Lockhart thought about it and felt that proposing a duel would only damage his reputation.

Ancient magic runes and astronomy are even more... As for the other new professors, they were not convincing either. Sirius Black was definitely good enough, but after thinking about it, he gave up this opportunity to become famous.

'There's only one person left, and that's you, Snape!'

This was a goal that couldn't be better - when Snape was in school, he mixed with the Death Eaters and had a mediocre reputation. It was said that he often suffered losses in fights. Now his reputation in the school was even worse, and students naturally lacked goodwill towards him. Even if beating him down was not convincing enough, students would still imagine it themselves.

After all, it feels good to defeat Snape!

'Very good, we can invite our Professor Snape, and you will be the next victim - let the students' resentment rise, and when they celebrate, Professor Lockhart will be back to the top! '

-

"Lockhart's Dueling Club, never heard of it..."

Sirius yawned, "If we weren't colleagues, I wouldn't even know this person..."

"Don't you know him? But the Duel Club..."

Harry really wanted to go - Sirius's hands-on teaching of Transfiguration was really good, but there was always something missing.

"Okay, go ahead, you're distracted. If you haven't studied enough, I'll review it for you. My spells for dueling may not be as good as Transfiguration, but they are still better than any average wizard's."

Sirius rubbed his godson's head and told him to go and participate.

He could teach it himself, but firstly, it was a group social activity, and secondly, he was not sure about the level of the peacock. What if the other party was really good at it, like Mad-Eye, then he would be much better than him.

'Come to think of it, I haven't even contacted him since I got out... That guy even spat in front of my cell back then.'

Sirius suddenly remembered this old friend who had been disappointed in him.

"My job is stable now, it's time to contact him. And that guy Remus, I can't send the letter to him, and he didn't say he would write to me..."

He released his godson's head, "Go ahead and have fun with your friends!"

"Okay Sirius!"

Harry had not expected such a response at all, so he hugged Sirius and ran out.

"What will Professor Lockhart do?"

"I am looking forward too."

Andrew, who was pulled over by his roommate, nodded - the hall was full.

He also came here to learn some dueling magic. Even if he didn't study it in depth, it would be good to have some understanding of it.

There is no doubt that Percy finally gave in, but of course, it is also possible that Professor McGonagall agreed.

Anyway, the new club was opened and even a special notice was posted.

"But it's a perfectly legitimate reason for the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor to start a dueling club. After all, dueling is either for him or for spells. But Professor Flitwick is too old to do that..."

After all, this thing is so popular in Hogwarts. For example, almost half of the students in the school came tonight.

The fact that fighting mainly involves magic really sounds cool and is more direct than any other course - Professor Flitwick is too busy to handle this.

"There are so many people here. With the duel and Professor Lockhart's reputation, everyone who likes fighting or not has come."

He looked at the group of people with a smile, hoping that Professor Lockhart would not cause any trouble.

"Especially don't go looking for Hagrid. If Hagrid punches him, I'm afraid Professor Lockhart will cry for a long time."

But the appearance of Professor Lockhart made him exclaim that he had learned something.

The purple wizard robe and the newly installed lights all shone on Professor Lockhart at once, and moved towards the center of the auditorium with him.

"Damn it, when was this thing installed, and how could it have such a function? Also, this natural ability to focus eyes is really too cheating."

"But I used Transfiguration to modify the lighting mechanism a little bit, and then... No, there was no spell, it was an alchemical mechanism?"

He looked at Professor Lockhart and realized that he had dug up treasure again.

Professor Lockhart actually knows alchemy?
No doubt if Andrew had known the professor better, he would have learned that he even developed his own alchemical hair lotion and some secret cosmetics.

'Damn it, Mr. Black, you shouldn't have been there...'

Andrew sighed.

When 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 found Harry under a streak of bright red hair.

"Isn't it using Ron to locate it?"

But such speculation was meaningless - most of the students had been attracted by Professor Black's smile.

If Andrew hadn't been in the habit of asking around, he wouldn't even have noticed the arrival of another wizard.

Yes, another wizard, a mysterious existence to Andrew.

'Professor Snape, am I finally seeing some of your strength?'

Andrew thought so as he looked at the inconspicuous black figure.
