The weather is getting colder, especially after December, Hogwarts students ushered in their first snow this winter.

Hermione and his team's plan went very smoothly. The compound decoction is now cooked in the bathroom where Myrtle is, just wait quietly for the moment it is completed.

And some minor problems arise in Lynn's progress.

On the third day of sending a letter to Old John, the owl flew back again, but there was nothing he wanted in the letter. Old John said that the news that Lynn wanted to know was difficult to obtain evidence, and he would need at least two weeks to send someone to verify.

Although Lynn was a little disappointed, he knew that he could not be anxious about such a thing. He could still wait for two weeks.

His life in Hogwarts has to continue.

In the Dark Magic Defense class the week before Christmas, Lynn announced to the students that with the approval of Professor Dumbledore, they will open a duel club before the Christmas holiday, and any young wizard who is interested in wizard duels can participate.

As soon as the news spread, the little wizards who had been opened by the secret room before, suppressed by the attacks of students, became restless.

Three weeks have passed since the day of Finlieri being attacked. After that, the descendants of the secret room seemed to have fallen into silence. No one in Hogwarts was attacked again, but the murderer was not caught for a day, and Finlieri did not come out of the school hospital for a day, so the students' hearts had to be kept holding.

Recently, the habit of wearing amulets has become popular in the castle because no one knows what the monster in the secret room is. No matter whether it is useful or not, the little wizards always feel that they can feel at ease with something to bring on them.

Regarding the notification of the duel club, Harry and Hermione agreed to go, and Ron did not object.

So, at 8 o'clock in the evening, they hurried to the auditorium, and five long dining tables disappeared, and a gilded stage appeared along one wall, shining by hundreds of candles floating above the sky. The ceiling once again became as dark as velvet, and almost all the students in the school came, crowded together, and everyone was holding their wands, full of excitement.

"I heard that the professor who taught us duel skills this time was Professor Lockhart." The three of them squeezed into the bustling crowd, and Hermione said, "I just don't know who his opponent is?"

Harry seemed to know some insider news: "I heard that Professor Flevy was a duel when he was young, and maybe he was the coach of Professor Lockhart."

Ron looked at the platform and said regretfully: "It's a pity that you guessed wrongly, Professor Lockhart found someone you dislike the most."

They heard Ron's words and looked at the platform, where, besides Professor Lohart, wearing a dark green robe, there was a man with greasy hair, cold and pale face, and a black robe that had not been changed to for many years.

Harry screamed in pain: "Oh! It turned out to be Snape."

"No need to do this, Harry, we are not here to take potions class today. The professor who leads the duel club is also Professor Lockhart." Hermione comforted him.

Ron's expression also became a little excited.

"Yes, Professor Lohart and Snape, I really want to know who is better."

Because this year's Black Magic Defense Class was taught by Lynn pretending to be Lockhart, Lockhart's strength is not that bad in their minds. Moreover, they learned a lot in Lynn's class, at least in terms of knowledge and strength, Harry and the other three recognized it.

"Everyone, it's time for you to calm down. I know you're very excited now. After all, I learned from Professor Dumbledore that there has been no large-scale event except Quidditch Hogwarts for a long time. So in order to let you learn and improve your practical skills, I specially applied to Professor Dumbledore to launch this duel club."

Lynn used a spell to let every student in the auditorium hear his voice. After he finished talking about the purpose of the duel club, the little wizards present suddenly burst into cheers.

They have indeed been suppressing for a long time, and there is really no project in the castle except the Quidditch game that can bring the students of the college together.

"Now let me introduce my assistant, Professor Severus Snape, to you. In fact, there is no need to introduce it to you, because you all know him." Lynn staggered his position and let the little wizard in the castle see the big black bat spirit standing beside him.

At most, the students in the Snake Academy cheered, and there were some disharmonious voices such as "The professor taught him a lesson!" "Let him lie in the school hospital for a month, so no one will assign homework for us!"

Snape still had a cold face and had no expression, but in fact he had already begun to think about how to make Lynn embarrassed in front of so many people in the future.

When Lynn went to ask him to help him as an assistant, he accepted it happily.

Don't get me wrong, he's not targeting Lockhart, but all those who sit in the position of the Black Magic Defense Professor.

"Professor Snape is not worse than any of the professors in Hogwarts in actual combat, but the most outstanding thing about him is his name as a potion master. In the magic world, potion is one of the most difficult subjects. If it weren't for the Potions professors, maybe your Dark Magic Defense professor would not be me, but your Professor Snape."

After hearing what Lynn said, Snape's expression still did not change much, but if a careful person observes the corners of his mouth, he will find that the corners of his mouth are slightly curled.

Humph, the compliments are pretty good, but you still have to be embarrassed after a while.

Lynn also glanced at Snape with his eyes.

Oh, after all, after all, I have been fucking the dean for so many years, I probably can't show mercy later. I will praise him a few words to make him happy.

When the two of them had small thoughts on the stage, Harry and the other three were also whispering below.

"Earing Professor Lockhart's tone, he seemed a little afraid of Snape, and he began to say good things and wanted him to take action later." Ron's face was a little worried.

Although Lockhart is not his favorite professor, Snape must be his most hated professor, so he is certainly on Lockhart's side now.

Hermione has full confidence in Lockhart.

"Maybe he was just afraid that Snape would be embarrassed for a while, so he said a few good words in advance to make him feel relieved."
