Chapter 143: Venting Anger
Non-designated target repelling law.
Obviously, Lockhart didn't aim at Coven's wand in advance this time. Perhaps it was to take revenge on Coven before making him lose face, so he intended to return the favor.
Lockhart's obvious foul performance stunned everyone. Even Snape opened his eyes wide after he subconsciously said 'three'.
However, Coven was different from the people of this world. His powerful physical skills gave him a strong dynamic vision and a strong reaction ability.
Although Professor Lockhart's magic rays were extremely fast, Coven had seen too many laser weapons in the virtual game.
Therefore, Coven reacted in time and instantly moved the wand in front of him to block the path of the magic rays.
The next moment, the magic ray hit the wand in Coven's hand, making him feel numb in his right hand, and he lost his grip on the wand.
With a whoosh, the wand flew out of Coven's hand, spinning into the air next to it.
Coven was a little annoyed at the other party's shamelessness and the other party's malicious foul.
Therefore, he did not wait for Lockhart to show a proud look and immediately raised his hand to grab the wand that was flying away.
Casting without a wand, silently casting a spell.
Summoning Spell, Coven instantly released the spell, causing the wand that flew out to be suddenly pulled back and quickly grasped by Coven again.
This sudden turn of events caused everyone to be stunned once again. On the other hand, Lockhart, who was facing them, had a face that did not smile. His eyes were round, and his entire expression was like a clown's.
Without giving the other party time to recover, Coven did not care about the rules of the duel, nor did he chant a spell. He directly fired another 'Expelliarmus'.
This time, the spell did not show any magic rays effect. It seemed to hit Professor Lockhart's face in the air.
With a light sound, Professor Lockhart's face was deformed.
Before he could even scream, he raised his head and flew backward in the air.
Coven's revenge was not over. While the other party was still flying in mid-air, he swung his wand again and shook the wand gently from the bottom up.
The prank spell 'Dancing in Air' also hit Lockhart without any sound.
This caused Professor Lockhart, who was still flying in mid-air, to turn his body and quickly somersault in mid-air suddenly.
Still not satisfied, Coven fired several more 'disarming spells' and hit the head of Lockhart, who was turned upside down in mid-air.
The repelling effect of the spell seemed to have become a booster, causing the speed of Lockhart's somersaults to increase again and again, and his entire person almost turned into a human windmill in the air.
When he first started to turn, Lockhart could still barely let out a few cries of alarm, but as his speed gradually increased, he finally became completely silent. He even felt dizzy and painful, unconsciously letting out some cries of alarm.
Seeing this, Coven finally finished venting his anger, and with a light snort, he put down his wand.
After a few breaths, the effect of the 'floating in the air' spell dissipated, and Professor Lockhart fell onto the duel stage due to inertia. Lying there, he felt dizzy and painful for a moment and could only reflexively make some low humming sounds.
Coven no longer looked at the other person's end and turned to look at Professor Snape.
As if sensing Coven's gaze, Snape turned his head and met Coven's eyes.
Snape quickly suppressed the raised corner of his mouth, and the gloating expression on his face was quickly removed.
Coven wanted to roll his eyes at Snape, but with so many people around, it was not good to make Snape lose face, so in the end, Coven just said, "I'm sorry, Professor Snape. I still have something to do. I'll take my leave first."
"Okay..."
As soon as Snape opened his mouth, the corner of his mouth that he had been holding back for a long time couldn't help but curl up again.
He tried to suppress the corner of his mouth again, but Snape simply stopped talking and waved his hand as a driving gesture.
When Coven saw this, he directly jumped off the arena, ignoring the gazes of the people around him, and directly left the room.
As soon as he went out, he heard a burst of laughter behind him...
Although Coven had disrupted the development of the original plot this time, it was rare that his little butterfly did not stir up any waves.
Because something more worthy of the attention of the students happened.
...
After the two roommates returned, they told Coven about what happened after he left.
Although Professor Lockhart was too ashamed to continue staying in the duel room, Snape still took over the command of the dueling practice after he fled in a sorry state and arranged for Harry Potter and Draco Malfoy to compete on stage.
The development and original plot had not changed. Harry Potter still exposed his ability to talk to snakes.
According to what his roommate said, Harry Potter commanded the cobra summoned by Little Malfoy at that time, intending to attack a Hufflepuff student. Fortunately, Snape finally acted and dispelled the viper with Conjuration's anti-curse.
Through this incident and the recent attack from the monster in the secret chamber, everyone could not help but stay away from Harry Potter.
Because of various factors, it symbolized that Harry Potter was the heir to the Basilisk.
Of course, Coven knew what was going on. Harry did not command Cobra to attack others. Instead, he used the 'Parseltongue' to stop the snake from acting up.
However, there was no need for him to explain this to anyone. It was useless to explain it.
Because...
A few days later, another victim appeared.
This time, the one who was petrified by the monster in the secret chamber was the student who looked like he was going to be hurt by the cobra controlled by Harry on the day of the duel.
…..
The following days were calmer than before, as calm as a pool of stagnant water.
Since the day Professor Lockhart lost his face, he did not have any more tricks and avoided Coven.
The students soon forgot about the duel because everyone's eyes were on Harry Potter at this time, as if they were afraid of accidentally offending Harry and then being attacked by the monster released by Harry.
…..
Soon Christmas came.
During this year's Christmas holidays, very few students chose to stay in school. After all, Hogwarts was no longer safe.
In the outside world, the parents of the students also began to express their distrust of Hogwarts, and all kinds of remarks were disturbed.
Some people also began to attack Dumbledore and Headmaster under the urging of Lucius Malfoy, accusing him of dereliction of his duty in the secret chamber.
But no matter how much disturbance, Hogwarts still continued to open.
....
The first weekend after the holiday.
At the appointed teaching time, Coven left the dormitory and walked to Headmaster's room.
Halfway there, Coven suddenly stopped and listened with a serious expression...
