Chapter 190 Duel in the Secret Room

Seeing that everyone had become quiet, Lockhart cleared his throat and said loudly: "Everyone, good evening. Can everyone hear me? If you can't hear me, please raise your hands." He paused and saw that no one was there. He raised his hands, looked relieved, and said with satisfaction: "Very good! That's it. After discussions between several deans and Professor Dumbledore... we decided to open this duel club. I hope everyone can learn from it." Some practical knowledge, like in my book.”

After saying this, he fell into a brief silence. When Lockhart's eyes glanced at Snape standing aside, he seemed to remember what to say.

"Please allow me to introduce my assistant Professor Snape. He is also proficient in dueling. I feel extremely honored to invite him to come and give a demonstration today..."

Lockhart on the stage was chattering a lot, while Snape next to him kept a straight face and said nothing. Finally, Lockhart felt that it was too embarrassing to speak alone, so he stopped talking and coughed twice: "Okay, let's have a duel and set an example!"

"If Lockhart could send Snape to the campus hospital, I would buy ten sets of his books." Ron murmured quietly. Harry next to him wanted to say: You don't have that much money, but such words would overturn the boat of friendship, so he swallowed these words back in his stomach.

"It's difficult. My grandma said that Snape's strength is top-notch." Although Neville was speaking, his lips were tightly closed.

The little wizard in the audience was muttering, and Snape's eyes on the stage became increasingly dangerous. The fundamental purpose of his appearance in this dueling club today was to monitor Lockhart to prevent him from causing any damage. As for searching the dormitory, he thought Flitwick could do it for him. As for why Dumbledore was not chosen, it was because Snape did not want a Gryffindor to enter the Slytherin common room.

Ever since, the division of labor among several professors has been clear. Lockhart and Snape were responsible for organizing the dueling club. Dumbledore secretly observed the performance of the students in the auditorium. Professor McGonagall and Professor Sprout inspected the personal belongings of the young wizards in their own colleges. Professor Flitwick It is necessary for one person to check the two houses of Slytherin and Ravenclaw - fortunately, there are not many people in these two houses.

Snape had already decided that although he was here to monitor Lockhart today, he would not refuse if he could beat him up and send him to the school hospital.

According to the duel process, the two people should bow first, and then raise their wands in front of their chests like arrows. At this point, the duel has theoretically begun. But for better demonstration, Lockhart also added a countdown.

The crowd was silent. Everyone opened their eyes wide and held their breath, waiting quietly for the duel to begin.

Bow, stick upright.

"Three, two, one!"

Snape quickly raised his wand over his shoulder, "Expelliarmus!" A dazzling red light flashed, but was bounced away by a barrier that popped out of thin air. Snape frowned: he didn't hear the curse.

"Silent casting?" he thought, "No!" But he soon discovered the truth of the matter: Lockhart was wearing a very special bracelet, and just now a bead on the bracelet lit up, releasing a The Iron Armor Curse deflected his disarming spell.

[Defense bracelet (three stars): It was jointly created by a spell master and an alchemist apprentice. It has a total of 49 beads. Each bead can be attached with a triggered defensive spell. Currently, it only comes with three iron armor spells. The potential is huge, and it may be possible to become a star after it is fully completed]

Snape looked at the densely packed beads on the bracelet and felt confused: How many defensive spells must be on it? !

Also, at least one of Flitwick and McGonagall participated in the production of this bracelet!

His spell was blocked like this, and he was stunned for a moment, leaving plenty of time for Lockhart on the opposite side to react.

When it comes to a guy like Snape who is proficient in dueling, there is actually no difference between the original Lockhart and the current Lockhart. They are both knocked away with one move. However, if some equipment factors are added, the result will be different... The bracelet on Lockhart's hand took Tom a lot of thought. There are many defensive spells carved and attached to it. Now, his moment of counterattack has come.

"[Senior]!" A slender doll was summoned by Lockhart using the Flying Curse.

Of course Snape recognized this doll, but he didn't expect that Lockhart would actually take out this thing to duel with him - this was no longer a wizard's duel!

In this case, Snape's eyes narrowed. He tapped his wand a little towards himself, and a few wisps of breeze were born out of thin air around him, making his movements more agile. [Senior]'s attacks came one after another, but Snape quickly dodged them all. While dodging, he opened and closed his lips several times quickly: "Out of the hole!" There was an explosion from the tip of his staff, and a five-foot-long black snake as thick as an arm jumped out from it and landed on him There was a muffled sound on the floor between him and [Senior]. The black snake raised its head, revealing its purple snake tongue and dazzling white fangs.

The little wizards who were watching were frightened by the sudden appearance of the poisonous snake. They screamed and quickly retreated, leaving a circular space around the stage. Lockhart also quickly moved back, putting some distance between him and Snape's black snake, allowing [Senior] to stand between them.

While retreating, he took out a handle with one hand and pointed the wand at Snape with the other hand: "Fire ten thousand bullets!"

However, a spell of this magnitude was not a problem for Snape, and he lightly used the Iron Armor Curse to block the attack.

"The Divine Edge is Shadowless!"

"Armor protection!"

"Thunderbolt explosion!"

"Expelliarmus!"

You and I, spells flying everywhere, the battle between the two was extremely fierce.

[Senior] cut off the black snake's body with a sword, but was also hit by Snape's floating spell. She suddenly lost control of herself and floated into the air.

Snape raised his wand, thinking that he was sure of victory, but unexpectedly, several round balls were thrown by Lockhart. Snape had to remove his wand and moved from his original position with agility.

He looked at those spheres and felt they looked very familiar——

"Shit?!" Fred and George in the audience recognized these balls. They could tell them apart just by hearing the sound of the balls colliding with the ground.

Immediately afterwards, they panicked, "Cover your noses!" Fred shouted hoarsely, covering his mouth and nose at the same time, trying to run away from the stage, but the little wizards around him were so densely packed that there was no way he could escape. ?

Dung bombs are magical stink bombs that emit a putrid smell. One is enough for Filch to put you on the "special attention" list, one is enough for Fred's brother's Aunt Muriel to cut off all contact with the Weasley family, and go out of her way to do so when writing her will. Make it clear that nothing will be given to either of them - it's all the work of the piece of shit under her chair.

Lockhart threw three of them at once, the latest and improved version of Fred's dung eggs. Seeing this shit, the two of them also knew the identity of the guy who sent a bunch of Muggle versions of Lockhart's complete works during the summer vacation.

Because the lethality was too strong, they did not release these fecal eggs, and only sent out a few.

"Tsk tsk tsk!"

A visible stench filled the auditorium.

"Hmph, hum, ahhhhh--" The little wizards standing in the front row felt the stench after inhaling a little bit, and screamed in pain.

"Stinky! Angry! Bomb!"

This kind of ranged weapon can naturally attack Snape, but Lockhart himself was also affected. The two of them at the center of the blast had swollen eyes and difficulty breathing.

Snape endured the discomfort and used a cyclone to clean up the stench in the air. But although the stench in the air disappeared, the smell in the nose and respiratory tract remained for a long time, and every time the air was breathed in, it was tainted with the stench. The clean gas is breathed in, and it smells like it when spit out...

Feeling the lingering and vague stench from 360°, Snape was furious, waving his wand, and a huge fire python emerged from the tip of the wand, and rolled towards Lockhart. Hart smiled bitterly and controlled [Senior], fighting Snape again.

The duel resumes!

…

"Senior, why don't you go to the Duel Club?"

While Snape and Lockhart were fighting in the Great Hall, Hermione was reading Professor Flitwick in the lounge. A crisp voice interrupted her thoughts. She looked up and saw that it was the elementary school girl Peggy.

"What's the matter? What's the matter?" Hermione looked up at that delicate little face and sighed with emotion: No one else dared to make themselves look like this, but you actually look like this!

"It's nothing, I just didn't expect you didn't go to the Duel Club, senior."

"You didn't go either." Hermione smiled and continued to read. Peggy stopped talking, sat opposite Hermione, took out a book, and started reading quietly.

After a while, she closed the book again, "Senior, will Hogwarts be closed down? There have been so many secret room attacks..."

"Probably not. Hogwarts has existed for thousands of years and has never been closed down. However, there are records of it being almost closed down."

"That's it. It doesn't matter if it's closed, I can just go home and spend more time with dad."

"Hogwarts was almost closed down because of people's deaths."

Peggy:…

"Senior, I'm going to use the toilet first." She stood up and walked towards the bathroom, while Hermione continued to sit in her seat and read a book.

The surroundings gradually became quiet, and even the sound of the wind outside the window disappeared.

"It's a great spell. Is it an improved version of listening with earplugs?" Hermione said this without raising her head. "It can also remove the Disillusionment Curse. The smell of sewer rats on your body is very annoying to me." I could smell it just meters away.”

The Muffliato spell fills the ears of everyone around you with an unidentifiable buzzing sound, thus preventing others from eavesdropping. But now the spells in the Ravenclaw common room are obviously much more advanced than listening to spells with earplugs. If Hermione hadn't been vigilant, she wouldn't have noticed that the sounds around her had been cut off.

With the effect of a splash of water, a handsome young boy appeared five meters in front of Hermione. The boy was much taller than Hermione, with shiny black hair and a silver prefect badge gleaming on his chest.

Hermione was a little surprised. Just looking at the boy's dress and temperament, he looked somewhat similar to Tom Yoder.

"The Soundproofing Charm and the Illusion Body Charm are a wonderful combination, tried and true. But I was surprised that you noticed them." The boy's voice was calm and gentle.

"Soundproofing spell?"

"I invented an interesting little spell that can completely isolate this room from the sound interaction outside, and I also blocked the door, so the current Ravenclaw common room is also a..."

"Secret room!" The boy showed a smile with a strong evil spirit.

"It's really unethical to have a man and a woman alone in the same room." Hermione shook her head, "Can you at least tell me your name first?"

"You can call me Tom Marvolo Riddle," he took out a wand from his pocket and waved it a few times, and three blood-red words floated in the air: Tom Marvolo Riddle, "But I would rather you call me -" Riddle stirred the letters with his wand, and the letters automatically changed their positions and became: I Am Lord Voldemort.

"Voldemort! This name is my past, present and future..."

"Grammatically, it should be 'I'm' not 'I Am'" Hermione corrected Riddle's grammatical error.

Riddle: ...

"Glib talk!" Riddle was a little angry. The little witch in front of him was the first person who dared to say such words in front of him. He decided to make this guy pay the price.

"So, you couldn't create such a 'secret room' just for playing Scrabble with me, right?" Hermione still looked unconcerned, "Let me guess, you want to absorb me vitality?"

Riddle paused. He didn't expect that his target would be seen through at a glance. He didn't expect the little witch in front of him to be so calm.

His actions today have gone in an unplanned direction since he was discovered. But Riddle didn't panic at all, because he recognized the identity of the little witch in front of him: it was the guy who had met his possessed Victoria in the Slytherin Chamber of Secrets that day.

How can a little second-grade witch turn the world upside down? Riddle is now unprecedentedly confident, because after absorbing the life force of two students, Victorique and Cassandra, he has regained all his strength. Although he is only the Voldemort in his student days, it is not what ordinary students can do. blocked. What's more, he has more preparations...

Riddle has decided that it doesn't matter if he is discovered, just suck this little witch dry right here!

But Hermione in front of him smiled, "Riddle, tsk tsk tsk..."

"Since you reported your real name, I won't hide my identity..."

"For the record, my name is Tom Yoder."
