GILDEROY LOCKHART THOUGHT it was a good idea to host a Duelling club, because of the recent events happening in the school — which he would host much to everyone's disagreement. Hope didn't see the point in going if it was Lockhart teaching them, the man wasn't the greatest teacher, he had charisma and passion but that was it however, with much persuasion from Hermione she managed to drag Hope, Ron and Harry to partake in Lockhart's club.
All the tables in the great hall had been pushed to the side and a platform had been placed in the middle for Lockart to stand on and 'teach' everyone gathered around the platform as Lockhart began to speak,
"In light of the dark events of recent weeks Professor Dumbledore has granted me permission to start this little Dueling Club-" Lockhart explained pacing around the platform,
"-to train you all up in case you ever need to defend yourselves as I myself have done on countless occasions" Lockhart said stopping in the middle of the platform
"for full details, see my published works" He smirked pulling off his cloak and throwing it to some of the girls who were watching him
"unbelievable" Hope scoffed to Ron who nodded in agreement,
"Let me introduce my assistant Professor Snape" all heads turned to watch Snape walk up onto the platform,
"He has sportingly agreed to help me with a short demonstration" Lockhart told them
"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!" He said with a wink and Hope could have laughed at the face Snape was making at the man.
Lockhart and Snape face each other with a bow before walking ten paces away from each other. they both turned to face each other and once Lockhart counted to three Snape had already beat him into saying the spell,
"Expelliarmus!" Snape shouted sending Lockhart flying back down the stage landing with a thud on his back, Some of the students in the hall laughed at the man while others, Like Hermione were concerned
"do you think he's alright?" Hermione asked watching as Lockhart groaned on the stage,
"who cares" Ron laughed
"apart from bruising his ego, I'm sure he's fine" Hope said to her laughing as Lockhart stood up
"An excellent idea to show them that professor Snape" Lockhart said awkwardly "but if you don't mind me saying so, it was pretty obvious what you were about to do" He said approaching Snape,
"If I had wanted to stop you it would have been only too easy" Lockhart boasted with a laugh
"Perhaps it would be prudent to first teach the students to block unfriendly spells, Professor" Snape retorted with a sneer which made Lockhart shift uncomfortably
"An excellent suggestion, Professor Snape Let's have a volunteer pair" Lockhart said looking around before laying his eyes on Ron and Harry
"Potter, Weasley, how about you?" Both boys looked a bit uncomfortable
"Weasley's wand causes devastation with the simplest spells" Snape said Looking at Lockhart,
