Torchwick or Grindelwald

Chapter 5: Dueling Club before Christmas

Hogwarts No POV

Wade was having more and more headaches, and not the kind that can be solved with a little nap and food. These headaches are more constant than others. He just had to deal with it for the time being but now that Lockhart called a Dueling Club meeting, it seems those headaches aren't gonna go away.

Students from all four houses attended including Wade and his friends.

Lockhart:<gets on the dueling stage> gather round! Gather round. Can everybody see me? Can you all hear me? Excellent. In the light of the dark events of recent weeks, Professor Dumbledore has granted me permission to start this little Dueling Club to train you all up in case you ever need to defend yourselves, as I myself have done on countless occasions. For full details, see me published works. <takes his cape off and throws it to a group of girls> let me introduce my assistant... Professor Snape.

Snape walked up to the stage with a frown on his face as he always had.

Lockhart: he has sportingly agreed to help me with a short demonstration. Now, I don't want any of you youngsters to worry. You'll still have your potions master when I'm through with him. Never fear.

Both teachers went to the center of the stage, put their wands close to their face, put them down, bowed, walked 5 steps away from each other, turned around and faced each other.

Lockhart: one. Two. Three.

Snape: Expelliarmus!

Snape threw a spell that knocked Lockhart away making students laugh.

Hermione: do you think he's all right?

Ron: who cares?

Lockhart:<gets up> an excellent idea to show them that, Professor Snape, but if you don't mind me saying, it was pretty obvious what you were about to do. And if I had wanted to stop you, it would have been only too easy.

Snape: perhaps it would be prudent to first teach the students to block unfriendly spells, Professor.

Lockhart; an excellent suggestion, Professor Snape.

Snape: let's have two students demonstrate. Torchwick and Murk?

Lockhart: very well.

Wade and Ismelda got on the stage as they did what the Professors did.

Ismelda: ready to taste defeat, Torchwick?

Wade didn't say anything which got Ismelda a little mad since she wanted him to retort. They both took 5 steps away from each other then turned around.

Lockhart: one, two...

Ismelda didn't wait and went for a stunning spell but Wade blocked it surprising most of the students even Lockhart who didn't believe Wade could block spells. Wade retorted by disarming Ismelda and knocking her down by moving his wand vertically down to up. This surprised a lot of people and it made Ismelda scared of him as he walked away back to where he was and Ismelda as well. Wade stood next to Ben who was next to Harry.

Wade's friends were always in a group.

Lockhart: now that we had a proper demonstration, let's have a volunteer pair. Potter, Weasley, how about you?

Snape: Weasley's wand causes devastation with the simplest spells. We'll be sending Potter to the hospital wing in a matchbox. Might I suggest someone from my own house? Malfoy, perhaps?

Snape gestured Malfoy to get up there as he and Harry went to the center.

Lockhart: good luck, Potter.
