Kapitel 107: Chapter 107: Snape’s Views on New Magic
"Before we start the formal class, we must understand what a duel is." Lockhart stood on the high platform, flicked his wand, and the word "duel" appeared in the air. The students below stared attentively, and Lockhart talked eloquently: "Duelling between wizards is a time-honored tradition."
"The original duelling contained elements of blood and barbarity, but as time passed, it gradually became an important means of civilization and tradition. When there is a dispute between two wizards or two wizard families, in order not to harm the lives of innocent people and reduce unnecessary losses, duelling becomes an alternative method."
As he spoke, Lockhart waved his wand, and in mid-air, he sketched out a scene of two teams of wizards each sending one person to bow and duel each other. "In addition, when facing love and pursuing witches, duelling also became a way to show personal worth." At this point, Lockhart blinked, and a narrow smile appeared on his face. With a flick of the wand, the pattern in mid-air turned into a scene of two people duelling, with the winner enjoying the worship of the surrounding witches.
Looking at the thoughtful eyes of the students, Lockhart continued: "Duelling has evolved through history and has become a convention."
Watching Lockhart explain the history of duelling in a comprehensive and detailed manner, coupled with the mid-air patterns, from time to time it caused small exclamations from the students. The professors nodded secretly. They found that Lockhart's lectures were indeed unique.
During Lockhart's lecture, Professor Flitwick asked Professor McGonagall: "Minerva, do you have any impression of the spell Lockhart used just now?"
Professor McGonagall thought for a while, shook her head, and said calmly: "This is the first time I have seen such a spell. The fluctuations in magic power are different from what we see every day. It may be ancient magic. I don't know much about this."
After hearing this, Flitwick was thoughtful and asked Snape: "Snape, you fought Lockhart just now. How do you feel about the power of his spell?"
"It's very powerful." Snape squinted his eyes, wondering what he was thinking about. After a moment, he added coldly: "Obviously, his spell is different. I really can't imagine that as an elegant wizard, he wants to fight in close combat."
Professor Flitwick did not answer but changed the subject: "Professor Snape, what are you going to teach the students later?"
"Lockhart suggested that I tell some classic cases from my own experience, saying that it could inspire young wizards' interest in duelling. I will tell them some cases of fighting as dark wizards," Snape thought for a moment and then added, "At the same time, tell them how to avoid being stupid in a duel."
"What about you, Professor Sprout?" Professor Flitwick asked.
"I'm going to teach how to fight using magical plants," Professor Sprout replied with a smile.
Afterwards, the four professors chatted with each other. According to the previous talk with Lockhart, the duelling club will let each professor teach their own duelling methods and duelling concepts. In this way, they strive to let every young wizard see different duelling concepts, find a duelling method that suits them, and improve their combat experience. This concept is somewhat similar to teaching students in accordance with their aptitude, and the professors quite agree with it. Well, they feel that 80% of the students in their own house will choose them.
Among them, Professor Lockhart proposed to hold a monthly duelling competition, and he would provide the prizes. The professors agreed with this point.
As time passed quietly, the four professors heard Lockhart preach on the stage: "I will stop talking about the history of duels here. Now, I would like to ask Professor McGonagall to tell you about her duelling way. Professor McGonagall has been studying the field of Transfiguration for many years. Through exquisite Transfiguration, she has defeated many powerful dark wizards."
Hearing Lockhart's praise, a smile appeared on McGonagall's face, and then she also walked up to the high platform to talk about her duelling way. Below, Lockhart and the remaining three professors also started chatting.
"Professor Flitwick, how are the students of Ravenclaw doing this time? When I was in school, there were a lot of geniuses."
"Haha, Lockhart, are you reminding me that you were also a genius back then?"
"Professor Sprout, I really troubled you last time. I don't know how to take care of these unknown magical plants."
"Lockhart, it's all small things. Thank you for the magical plants and magic skin care products you gave me. I like them very much."
Lockhart briefly joked with the two professors and excused himself. He found Professor Snape. He looked at Snape, who was wearing a black robe, exuding a cold aura, and asked in a low voice, "Snape, has there been any result about the information I asked you to inquire about last time?"
Snape glanced at Lockhart and said calmly: "The recent auction for dark wizards will be next Tuesday night. I have an invitation. If you want to go, I can take you there."
Hearing this, Lockhart nodded quickly and praised with joy: "Snape, you still have a wide range of connections. Some things can only be encountered at top auctions." With that said, Lockhart continued to promise: "Next time, I will bring you the blood you want."
Hearing this, Snape nodded with satisfaction, and then asked tentatively: "Lockhart, what is that spell that you used before? As far as the magic fluctuations I felt, it seems that there is a big difference from the normal magic we use."
As soon as Lockhart heard this, he knew what Snape was interested in, and then he introduced seductively: "Snape, this is a kind of magic spell based on runes. The power of the magic spell is not weak, and it is more powerful than magic spells of the same level while also consuming less magic power. Because it is based on runes, as long as you know the runes in advance, the threshold for learning will be greatly reduced."
Snape nodded secretly after hearing Lockhart's introduction. Sure enough, Principal Dumbledore was right. If Lockhart's research was promoted, it would definitely cause a huge sensation. Just from the duel with Lockhart just now, he felt the specialness of Lockhart's magic spell. Generally speaking, their normal magic relies on emotions, willpower, and resonance to cast spells. As for the spell Lockhart cast, he felt it keenly. During the casting process, Lockhart had almost no major emotional fluctuations. Very calm, natural, and very smooth casting.
What does that mean? Snape, who had been affected by dark magic for many years, knew it very well. Many wizards pursue the power of black magic. But the fundamental reason for its rejection is that the more black magic is performed, the more susceptible it is to being emotionally infected by black magic and embarking on an evil path. He once went astray because of this, only to wake up later. Therefore, even if many wizards learn black magic, they do not dare to learn too much, or even use it multiple times. They are worried that there will be too many negative effects and they will kill themselves, which is not worth the gain.
