Malfoy shouted. The wand in his hand exploded suddenly, and a line of black smoke quickly spread from the tip of the wand, then quickly turned into a long black snake. Boom! With a sound, the black snake landed on the high platform, slithered its body, and approached Harry. When he saw this strange spell, a flash of panic crossed Harry's eyes, but then he thought of something.
Harry tightened his grip on his wand, pointed it at the black snake approaching him, and shouted loudly and urgently.
"Stupefy! Stupefy! Stupefy!"
The tip of Harry's wand suddenly lit up with several rays of red light, shooting towards the black snake. Harry hit the black snake with one stunning spell after another. It completely disrupted the black snake's progress and even pushed it back a few steps. Seeing this, Harry became more and more excited and continued to cast his best stunning spell.
"Stupefy! Stupefy!"
They saw a large amount of magical red light continuously hitting the black snake. The black snake let out a painful howl, quickly dodged, and retreated backwards. But there were still a lot of stunning spells hitting it, causing the black snake's figure to gradually dissipate.
Seeing this, Lockhart nodded with satisfaction. It seemed that Harry had listened to his previous prompts. He took a sneak peek at Snape's expression and found that his face was even more gloomy, and a cold breath seemed to spread out of his body. The young wizards below all praised Harry.
At this moment, Malfoy saw that his trump card didn't seem to be working. Then, as if he thought of something, he held his wand and shouted again.
"Serpensortia!"
He poured all his magic into it, trying to release the maximum power. This time, the black smoke emerging from the wand was deeper and larger. The black smoke fell on the ground, and what formed was no longer a black snake, but a large python. The python acted very manically, raising its head, showing its fangs, and assuming an offensive posture towards Harry.
This time Harry released a large number of stunning spells again, and a large amount of red light from the curse once again hit the python. Unfortunately, this time, it did not cause much harm to it, as if it angered the python.
Hiss! Hiss! Hiss!
The python roared angrily at Harry and the young wizards around him, as if it wanted to attack everyone nearby. Suddenly, Malfoy's expression changed. He found that his magic power seemed to be out of control, and he could not effectively control the python. The python, on the other hand, began to show signs of attacking the young wizards.
At this time, Lockhart and Snape seemed to realize that Malfoy had lost control of the curse. They both raised their wands, ready to stop the potential risks posed by the python. But the next second.
"Hiss!"
A sound came. Although it sounded like the cry of a python, it clearly revealed an evil and weird aura, which was creepy. The two professors simultaneously stared closely at the source of the sound - Harry Potter. As for the python, after hearing Harry Potter's voice, it kept swaying and twisting its body as if it was cramping. Then it quickly lay down on the ground, as if it had restrained its desire to attack.
"Incarcerous!"
Although he knew what was going on, Lockhart still cast a spell and trapped the python. Harry saw this scene with a smile on his face. He thought he had just prevented the python from attacking the other students. However, he soon realized that something was wrong, and the whole classroom suddenly became quiet. Everyone looked at him with strange looks, or fear. This made Harry a little confused. As students began to whisper, especially some pointing fingers at him, Harry felt a little aggrieved and chills all over.
"Let's thank Harry who just stopped the python attack." Lockhart looked at the bewildered Harry and the pointing young wizards above, and he understood everything in an instant. So, he quickly walked up to the high platform, raised Harry's right hand, and praised the student loudly.
"Because Harry Potter managed to control the python and prevent it from attacking the other students. Twenty points to Gryffindor for this!"
Lockhart's rescue immediately made Harry feel better. At the same time, the students of Gryffindor House slowly began to applaud. However, the number of people was very small, which was enough to show the fear that Harry's performance just now brought to them.
Immediately afterward, Harry heard Professor Lockhart whisper in his ear: "Harry, if you have time in the evening, come to my office. I have something to discuss with you." With that said, Lockhart patted Harry on the shoulder and motioned for him to step off the stage.
When Harry stepped off the high platform, the crowd automatically retreated to both sides, and Ron and Hermione hurriedly stepped forward to meet him, forcing Harry to the corner of the classroom and discussing something in low voices. However, where Harry was, it was still a place that students around him avoided.
Seeing this, Lockhart used his wand to give himself a loud blow, and spoke loudly to the students, trying to divert their attention.
"We can learn two things from the duel just now. First, don't overuse magic spells that you can't control." With that said, Lockhart smiled at Malfoy below and continued.
"Second, we have to use our best spells to fight the enemy, just like Harry just kept casting his best stunning spells. The effect is very good, and it is worth learning from. Finally, let us applaud this wonderful duel."
As he spoke, Lockhart took the lead and began to clap, and students below also clapped. Soon, most of the students' attention turned to the duel.
Seeing this, Lockhart took advantage of the victory and introduced directly: "In the dueling course, our professors will teach you respectively. After our discussion, the dueling class will be held at 8 pm every Wednesday in the future. During this period, I will teach you some of my unique new fighting skills and magic spells. Professor McGonagall will teach everyone how to have a wonderful duel through transfiguration. Professor Snape will teach you some classic fighting spells. Professor Flitwick..."
Lockhart's lectures have unique characteristics. He likes to use his wand to outline exquisite patterns and words from time to time to arouse the attention and emotions of the students. So all students listened attentively as Lockhart imparted information on combat lessons. Well, according to Lockhart's introduction, this time's duel course will be an unprecedented luxury configuration at Hogwarts.
The four pros taught how to duel, advanced spells, powerful fighting skills, novel spell-casting methods, etc., and handed them all to the students. After listening to Lockhart's inspiring speech, the students' blood suddenly boiled. It seemed that after completing the class, they would become professors with extremely rich combat experience.
Seeing this, Lockhart nodded with satisfaction, sighing that his skill in making promises was still as good as before. But what he didn't notice was that Snape looked at him with an increasingly dangerous look. Well, it had nothing to do with Lockhart rescuing Harry Potter, it was simply hearing Lockhart emphasize that he wanted to share the new spell.

=========================
"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.
