#84 - Section 84

Now, not many people are discussing this issue anymore. The various amulets that were hyped up some time ago have been discarded everywhere.

On the contrary, everyone is now immersed in the joy of the upcoming Christmas, which represents a two-week holiday.

Ethan also has plans for this holiday.

Cassandra's father, Amos Voray, applied for a second-class badge of the Order of Merlin for Ethan, and the investiture ceremony will be held on Christmas Eve. Ethan will definitely be on stage at that time.

The reason for choosing this time is also because the Baffe Awakening Agent and the Wizard Communication device, after consultation, were chosen to officially go on sale during the Christmas holiday.

Ethan, the youngest recipient of the Order of Merlin badge, will be awarded the medal at this time, and the topic will be very popular, and the European wizarding world will be detonated.

This wave of topics can be used to advertise the two products, and the Wizard Mailbox is also a very suitable product for Christmas, which can be given as Christmas gifts to friends and family far away.

After class at noon, Ethan and his party came to the Great Hall as usual to prepare for dinner.

Just after passing through the entrance hall, they found that the bulletin board was surrounded by little wizards.

Seeing this, Terry quickly grabbed a second-year Ravenclaw senior.

"Godwin, what happened ahead?"

Terry is the most fond of joining in the fun.

"The school is going to start a dueling club. The first gathering will be held tonight. If you are interested, you can go and have a look."

"Dueling club? I haven't heard of it, but it seems to be good. I just don't know who is holding it. I'll go and have a look."

Terry's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he hurried towards the bulletin board.

The dueling club is still being held?

In the original book, Lockhart should have applied under the pretext of teaching spells against attackers, but the actual purpose was to pretend to be cool and attract fans.

But now his filter has been broken, and many fans have joined the anti-Lockhart side.

The main reason is that his fans are retreating in the confrontation. Lockhart is really disappointing and cannot provide any help. Instead, situations where he is slapped in the face continue to occur, leading to a large number of fans turning black.

Now that there are no attacks and the fans are almost gone, why apply for this dueling club?

I just met Lockhart two days ago and delivered his customized alchemy tools, and also recovered the final payment of 20,000 Galleons.

During the transaction, Ethan was very much looking forward to Lockhart using his superb Obliviation Charm to play black eats black, and then he could reverse-rob a wave, and take all the Galleons and alchemy tools.

Unexpectedly, Lockhart actually traded in good faith. There were no small actions throughout the whole process, which was a bit inconsistent with his persona.

Now it seems that Lockhart is holding back a big move, wanting to rely on the alchemy tools provided by Ethan to pretend to be cool again and achieve the purpose of whitewashing.

That's why he traded honestly and didn't dare to cause any trouble.

After the transaction was completed, Ethan's Galleons reached over 90,000, the bulk of which was contributed by Lucius Malfoy, who also gave a whole Horned Serpent horn.

Now, the material for the Magic Blood is only missing the Runespoor egg. However, Dennis got the news that their Slytherin members are preparing to catch Occamys, but they accidentally captured a Runespoor recently, which is still a pregnant mother.

Dennis has communicated with them. After the eggs are laid, they can transport five over. The main reason is that there is no shortage of sales for Runespoor eggs at all. Five is all they can give. This number is enough for Ethan.

According to the news, the eggs will be laid in the next few days. After returning for Christmas, the goods will definitely arrive.

Ethan is not in a hurry about this anyway. He just needs to brew it before the summer vacation.

"Ethan, the dueling club at eight o'clock tonight will be held in the Great Hall. Are you coming?"

Terry ran over excitedly to report the news.

"Come, why not!"

If it's a dueling club, I don't know if I can get an achievement. I don't know if I can get an achievement after hammering other little wizards.

"That's right, your strength will definitely be there to participate."

More than a year ago, he could fight five Slytherin seniors. How long had Ethan been in school at that time?

Now it is estimated that he can hammer seventh graders. It is really normal to have this strength to pretend to be cool.

However, during the time of a lunch, the news that Hogwarts was opening a dueling club was already well known. During class breaks, a large number of little wizards began to discuss this issue.

Even many little wizards began to argue about which professor was the strongest in Hogwarts, and Dumbledore, as the headmaster, was naturally excluded.

Among them, Slytherin and Gryffindor clashed again. Ethan saw several large and small conflicts, and many Ravenclaw little wizards also joined in, supporting Professor Flitwick.

……

At seven o'clock in the evening, Ethan and Cassandra and others came out of Ravenclaw Tower together, preparing to go to the Great Hall to participate in the dueling club.

Now, except when they need to practice magic in the Room of Requirement, Ethan spends a lot of time in the Ravenclaw secret room, which is quite convenient to come and go.

Moreover, it contains extremely rich knowledge, which cannot be thoroughly understood in a short period of time. The space is also quite large, and all kinds of tools are available, which is also quite convenient for doing research.

For those from other houses like Cassandra and Hermione, Ethan can pull them over when they enter the first floor of the tower.

Now the Ravenclaw private room is almost becoming the second stronghold for Ethan and others.

The main research in the Ravenclaw room is still the magic similar to the mirror space, which is the special space that Ethan was pulled into during the assessment.

There are also related records in Ravenclaw's secret room, but this was also an extremely profound magic in their era, and it is not so easy to learn. Fortunately, Ethan has already found some clues.

The book "Nibelungen" sent by Lucius Malfoy seems to have some connection with this magic, and Ethan has also often taken it out to study recently.

Arriving at the Great Hall, it was almost eight o'clock. The long dining table had disappeared, and a gilded stage appeared along the front wall 0....

Hundreds of candles floated in the air, illuminating the entire hall brightly, and the ceiling once again turned into a velvety black.

Almost all of the hundreds of little wizards in the school were present, each holding their own wands, excitedly telling their companions something, with faces full of excitement.

"Ethan, we think Professor Flitwick will host this dueling club. What do you think?"

Harry led Ron, Neville, Seamus and a group of Gryffindors over from the other side, with faces full of excitement.

Although Harry and others think that Professor McGonagall is the most powerful professor in Hogwarts, Professor Flitwick, who is experienced, should host it.

"I don't think so, look!"

As he said that, Ethan pointed to Lockhart who came to the center of the stage.

At this moment, Lockhart was wearing a crimson robe, his hair was meticulously groomed, and his face was full of a bright smile, and behind him was Snape, who was wearing a black robe and had greasy hair and a dead mother's face.

The two formed a very stark contrast.

“No, why him?”

Following the direction of Ethan's finger, Harry immediately put on a painful expression.

He had been miserably tricked by Lockhart last time, plus he liked to pester him, and there was a Lockhart hater, Ron, in his dormitory.

Harry didn't have any good feelings towards Lockhart, and he was extremely suspicious of his strength.

It could be said that Harry could accept anyone as long as it wasn't Lockhart.

“No way, he's already on stage.”

“By the way, Ron, why do you seem so listless lately?”

Ron had recently become thin, his face was a little pale, and he had heavy dark circles under his eyes, like he had kidney deficiency.

Is Little Tom sucking so hard?

Ethan had been waiting for an opportunity to change his appearance with Polyjuice Potion, snatch the Voldemort notebook from Ron's hand, or directly knock him unconscious, take the notebook, and then give him a Obliviation Charm.

The soul-driving curse can sign contracts, and Ethan is interested in Voldemort's main soul. Now he should have returned to the Albanian forest again. Secondly, there is the soul fragment that has given birth to wisdom in the diary.

Although its strength is not as good as the main soul, it can be used after training, which is not bad.

But until today, Ethan couldn't find a suitable opportunity to get the diary.

Since the basilisk was caught by Ethan, the next day, when Ethan went to the Ravenclaw Chamber of Secrets, he saw Ron go out once on the Marauder's Map. Since then, Ron has not come out of the Gryffindor dormitory at night, and he doesn't go to Hagrid's place anymore.

During the day, there are little wizards everywhere, and it's not easy for Ethan to attack.

It is estimated that collecting the basilisk, plus scraping the Chamber of Secrets, shocked Little Tom, making him think that the Chamber of Secrets and he were exposed, which led to him becoming cautious now.

“I've been having some insomnia lately, and I can't sleep at night.”

“Harry, let's go over there quickly, it's already started.”

Ron, looking evasive, pulled Harry into the crowd.

It's easy to fool Harry, but Ethan, such a smart person, is not so easy to deceive. He doesn't dare to face Ethan alone now, what if he is discovered and his diary is snatched?

Chapter 113: The Power of a Recharge Warrior

“Gather around! Gather around!”

“Can everyone see me? Can everyone hear me?”

Shhh!

Starting from somewhere, after someone took the lead, there was a chorus of boos below.

And there was a lot of discussion about it. Ethan had people around him publicly criticizing Dumbledore.

Saying why Dumbledore would choose Lockhart as the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, and even come to host the Duelling Club, based on his record of being bitten into the school infirmary by Cornish pixies?

The reason for this is also greatly related to Ethan. If Lockhart had successfully escaped that time, he could have found a reason to muddle through, but being bitten into the school infirmary by Cornish pixies, no reason can justify it.

Whenever this is brought up during confrontations, Lockhart's fans can't stand it and retreat step by step, until now they have nowhere to retreat.

Faced with the chorus of boos below, Lockhart still said calmly.

“That's right, Dumbledore allowed me to open this little Duelling Club to fully train everyone in case you need to defend yourselves one day.”

“And every Saturday afternoon after Christmas will be the time when the Duelling Club opens. After discussion between me and Dumbledore, the winner of each year can add one hundred points to the House Cup and leave their name in Hogwarts history.”

“Students who want to participate, don't hesitate any longer, join the Duelling Club now!”

“Registration time starts next Monday and lasts for a whole week.”

Instantly, the entire hall erupted in cheers that could overturn Hogwarts. Of course, this was not for Lockhart, but for the House points.

As long as they can guarantee that their House wins two or three grades, the House Cup will be in their hands. Each House is full of confidence in themselves and believes that their House is the best.

At the same time, Lockhart also untied the gorgeous cloak behind him and threw it to the cheering crowd on the side.

There were indeed a few little witches fighting for it, and the little witch who finally got it had a happy smile on her face.

I don't know if Lockhart had told his fans in advance, otherwise, with his current number of fans, it would be embarrassing if he threw it to the wrong person.

“Next, let me introduce my assistant, Professor Snape!”

Hearing this, Snape walked onto the stage with a cold face. If it weren't for Dumbledore's words, he wouldn't want to pay attention to this charlatan at all.

I don't understand Dumbledore's criteria for choosing a Defense Against the Dark Arts professor. Any wizard can do it, except for me, right!

“He told me that he himself knows a little about duelling, and he generously agreed to assist me in doing a small demonstration before class.”

“Of course, after he and I have demonstrated, I will return your Potions teacher to you intact, don't be afraid!”

Lockhart said to the little wizards below with a confident look.

Snape was specially selected by him. If he wanted to overturn the previous impression and prove himself, the best choice was to have a reference object.

Three of the four deans were his teachers when he was in school, and they have been professors for so long, their strength must not be underestimated. Only Snape is the youngest, and he has never taught himself, and has nothing to do with himself.

Besides, a person who fiddles with cauldrons doesn't need to cast any spells, how much strength can he have?

In addition to preparing to change his image with this, he also plans to make a fortune.

Use this opportunity to start the Duelling Club to find a few players to control the direction of the game. When the time comes, setting up a betting table will not only earn back the money lost this time, but then leave Hogwarts far away and never come back again. This place is a natural enemy to him.

On the other side, Snape, who walked onto the stage, curled his upper lip after hearing this, and looked at Lockhart with eyes like he was looking at a dead man, wondering where he got the courage to provoke himself.

“Who do you think will win?”

Ethan nudged Cassandra with his elbow.

Snape doesn't seem to have shown his strength in Hogwarts, and everyone doesn't have a clear understanding of his strength.

Lockhart doesn't know what he's doing this time. The original book shouldn't have any grade competition points. Could it be that I caused it again?

“Of course it's Professor Snape. My dad said that he is still very strong.”

Cassandra stood on her House Dean's side without hesitation.

In fact, when her father told her that Snape was Voldemort's right-hand man, and not to underestimate him, but now there are so many other little wizards here, she couldn't say it.

After all, Snape's affairs are not a secret to the Ministry of Magic's high-level officials.
