Moreover, his attention was currently focused on the skylight above the Great Hall, which had a weather spell cast upon it.
Looking at the surrounding candles, he suddenly had an idea and snapped his fingers.
"I know!"
With that, Howl raised his small wand and pointed it upwards. Instantly, clouds churned, and the entire Great Hall's colors darkened slightly once more.
Rumble—
Within the dark clouds, lightning flashed, and in the next instant, a bolt of lightning struck, echoing throughout the Great Hall, followed by the patter of falling raindrops.
"Rainy night, lightning, a duel!" Howl nodded, "How do you like this atmosphere?"
"Absolutely perfect!" Professor Flitwick appeared beside Howl at some point.
With that, the three of them walked onto the platform. This was actually an extension of the previous high table, without much unnecessary decoration. Duelling didn't need such things.
"My hands are already warming up. Honestly, I haven't done this kind of thing in decades," Professor Flitwick's tone was full of anticipation.
At the same time, as the three of them stood on the platform, it was already eight o'clock, the agreed-upon time. Seeing that the setup was complete, the Little Wizards eagerly rushed in.
Before long, the entire Great Hall was filled with people.
"To be honest, far more people came than I expected," Professor Flitwick said, a little excited.
Howl smiled: "Perhaps your demonstration the other day truly taught them a lesson."
"If only that were true," Professor Flitwick smiled.
With that, Howl stepped forward.
After this period of interaction, many students understood that Professor Howl always had ways to quiet them.
So at this moment, even before Howl did anything, they proactively quieted down.
"Welcome!" Howl nodded: "Welcome everyone to the first gathering of the Duelling Club.
First, let me introduce the other two Professors of this club."
"Professor, no need to introduce the Professor, we all know the Professor," someone whispered a tongue-twister, making everyone laugh.
Howl shook his head: "No, no, no, I don't think you know them."
"What?"
"Professor Flitwick and Professor Snape, who doesn't know them?"
Howl pressed his hand down, meeting the gaze of the Little Wizards.
"First, let me introduce you to the three-time consecutive Duelling Champion of the underground Duelling Club in Britain—Professor Filius Flitwick!!"
As he finished, the Little Wizards instantly erupted. Although a small portion of them had heard this rumor before, they never knew if it was true.
And these circulating rumors were difficult to catch their attention, after all, Professor Flitwick, even disregarding his stature, had a personality that was simply too… gentle.
Furthermore, they had even heard Professor Flitwick himself say the other day: "I only have a shallow understanding of duelling."
Thinking this, the Little Wizards' gaze towards the Professor changed.
Duelling Champion… and he calls that a shallow understanding??
Soon, they shifted their gaze to Professor Snape.
The one with a shallow understanding is a Duelling Champion, so what would this Potion Class teacher be?
Speaking of which… aren't there many rumors that Professor Snape is a Death Eater?
Thinking this, a wave of fear, deeper than before, appeared in the Little Wizards' eyes as they looked at Professor Snape.
"Only the most foolish individuals indulge in baseless speculation. Put away those eyes that sparkle with no wisdom whatsoever."
Professor Snape's voice suddenly rang out, his gloomy tone seeming to dim the light in the entire Great Hall by a shade.
Howl raised an eyebrow. Well, he had already prepared a rather violent introduction for Professor Snape to compensate for his lack of any substantial titles.
To be precise, titles that could be introduced to the Little Wizards.
Including but not limited to Death Eater, Dark Arts Master, Unforgivable Curses proficiency, at least a dozen lives on his hands, and so on.
As for how Howl knew, Dumbledore mentioned it when they chatted, right after the Quirrell incident ended last year.
Of course, Howl only knew the general idea.
As for the rest, he had no interest in other people's privacy, nor did he care why Dumbledore allowed him into the school.
