Chapter 73 Magic Duel

In the Harry Potter world, George found a group of young wizards gathered at the bulletin board when he passed by the castle hall in the morning, discussing something enthusiastically.

When he got closer, he saw a new piece of parchment nailed to the bulletin board.

The content of the parchment was that at 8 o'clock tonight, the school would restart the duel club in the auditorium to teach all the young wizards in the school how to use magic to fight better.

The duel club was once very popular in Hogwarts. It is said that Flitwick, the current dean of Ravenclaw, was a perennial winner of the duel club when he was in school.

In a one-on-one duel, even senior wizards could not defeat Flitwick.

Later, because young wizards were often injured in duels, the school doctor's office was too busy every day and finally had to cancel it.

Now it seems that it must be the opening of the secret room and the attack on the young wizards. Some teachers proposed to reopen the duel club to train the young wizards' fighting skills so that they can have more self-protection ability when facing danger.

"It's a good opportunity to observe and learn."

George naturally has a positive attitude towards the restart of the duel club.

His magic skills are basically derived from self-understanding, and many aspects are not formal.

In terms of combat, he actually relies mostly on his superpowers, and magic only plays a supporting role.

But in the later stage, he must still focus on magic combat, so it is very important to observe and learn some magic combat skills.

At eight o'clock in the evening, when George and the first-year Slytherin wizards came to the auditorium, it had changed.

Four long dining tables were gathered together to form a very luxurious gilded stage, illuminated by hundreds of candles floating in the sky.

The ceiling of the auditorium became as dark as velvet, and almost all the little wizards in the school came, crowded together, and everyone held their own wands, with excitement on their faces.

Just as everyone was discussing which professor would teach them magic dueling skills, Lockhart, who was radiant in purple robes, and Snape, who was dressed in black and looked cold, came out.

The showy Lockhart showed off right at the beginning, first boasting about his magic dueling skills, and then calling Snape his assistant to elevate himself, which made Snape's face even colder.

George estimated that if we were to talk about which teacher in the whole school hated Lockhart the most, Snape would definitely be on the list.

If it weren't in school, if he hadn't turned over a new leaf, he thought Snape wouldn't mind using all three unforgivable curses on Lockhart.

The key point is that Lockhart didn't know himself, and actually wanted to compete with Snape on the spot to set an example for the little wizards.

Lockhart and Snape stood opposite the stage, and after three short sounds, they raised their wands over their shoulders at the same time.

"Disarm you!"

Lockhart had only recited half of the spell and the wand movement had not yet been completed, but Snape's Disarming Spell had already been fired.

A red magic light hit Lockhart, knocking the wand in his hand directly away, and he himself was also bounced out, hitting the stage wall and sliding down.

"What a fast speed!"

George couldn't help but sigh when he saw Snape casting the spell below.

The Disarming Spell is a second-year spell, and it is also a spell of considerable difficulty. It is one of the most commonly used spells in wizard battles. While forcibly disarming the opponent's weapons, it can also knock the opponent's body away.

He himself had also been learning this spell by himself before, and in the past two days, he had completed it preliminarily and could release it normally.

But his Disarming Spell was much worse than the one Snape had just released.

Not only the power, but most importantly, when Snape released the Disarming Spell, the wand waving action was simplified by more than half, and the speed of chanting the spell was also super fast. It felt that the whole process was completed very smoothly in less than a second.

That's why Lockhart flew out just after he cast the Disarming Spell.

And he noticed that when Snape finished the Disarming Spell, he didn't stop, and waved his wand slightly, obviously preparing for the second spell.

But Lockhart was too weak, and he didn't block any spells, so he didn't need to cast the second spell.

"This is a Disarming Spell. As you can see, I lost my wand.

But Professor Snape, don't mind me saying this, your intention just now was too obvious.

If I want to stop you, it's easy, but I think it's better to let them see it, so that they can learn some knowledge and know the consequences of being hit by the Disarming Spell."

Lockhart stood up with difficulty, quickly tidied his appearance, and then went on stage again to explain shamelessly.

Hearing Lockhart's sophistry, Snape raised his wand and had the urge to cast a killing curse on this guy.

As if sensing Snape's murderous intent, Lockhart quickly changed the subject and said:

"Okay, now you two will come up to practice, and Professor Snape and I will correct some of your mistakes in the duel."

After hearing Lockhart's words, most of the young wizards did not doubt it, and raised their hands and went on stage, including George.

He did not believe Lockhart's nonsense, nor did he expect Lockhart to correct them. He wanted to learn from the senior wizards and let Snape help guide his magic combat skills.

Lockhart and Snape walked among the young wizards on stage, pairing them up.

George was also paired, but his opponent was a short first-year Ravenclaw wizard.

"George, my name is Matthew Flitwick. I admire your learning ability and Quidditch skills, but I think I am far inferior to you.

But for this duel, I may have to say sorry to you in advance."

The young wizard was very confident. Even facing the Slytherin star in front of him, he did not think he would lose in the duel.

As a member of the Flitwick family, he inherited the Flitwick family's natural talent for fighting, and he also asked his great-uncle about the skills of fighting with a wand many times.

When the first-year wizards were still practicing the levitation spell, he could already use the full-body binding spell very skillfully to fight.

"Well, I wish you good luck."

George smiled and said nothing more.

Just kidding, even if he didn't cast magic, he could easily dodge most magic attacks with his extraordinary physical fitness and cat-like motion capture ability.

In addition, he has mastered a lot of magic and practiced regularly.

Not to mention a first-year wizard, even a wizard who is about to graduate from the seventh grade will not necessarily lose.

This time he was mainly for excellence, not because his magic combat skills were really bad.
