Hogwarts Reading Days

For using the Oblivion Curse on Umbridge, Albert really didn't have the slightest psychological pressure. Anyway, he is not a good person, and the two sides have conflicts. If he didn't directly kill the other party, he was already kind-hearted.

Yes, Albert never considered himself a good guy.

Perhaps, this is influenced by the idea that good people will not be rewarded in his previous life. With a flexible moral bottom line, he instinctively rejects these things.

After solving the problems left by Umbridge, Albert did not return to the activity room, which is now the home of the savior Potter, and he would only steal Harry Potter's limelight in the past.

Let Potter take on such a thankless task!

Although there were some turmoil during the wizard card game, the game still ended smoothly.After everyone shared the happy time of the game, they dispersed.

Lee Jordan took away the "Book of Origins" and moved it to a new location to prevent the toad from coming to make trouble again.

As for Fred and George who stayed in the activity room, they greeted the last students and began to help clean up the activity room.

Their purpose was not to help with cleaning, but to hear what Hermione and Harry were going to say.

It doesn't take much time for everyone to completely restore the activity room that has become messy due to the banquet, and there are quite a few students left to help clean it.

After everyone cleaned up all the rubbish left over from the banquet, they found their seats and sat down, waiting for the next follow-up.

Hermione pulled Harry with a stiff expression onto the podium, she cleared her throat and said, "Ahem, I think everyone knows why they stayed."

"That pink toad—I mean Umbridge taught us a bunch of crap—we never learned anything really useful from Defense Against the Dark Arts class." Hermione was a little nervous at first, but after she took a deep breath After taking a breath, the tone began to become firm.

"Well said, both the toad and "Defense of Magic" should be swept into the trash." Ernie McMillan echoed loudly.

After being placed in detention once, McMillan became extremely disgusted with Umbridge.

Intermittent voices echoed in the activity room, and those who were notified to stay were all members of the Anti-Toad Alliance.

"So, I was thinking that we might as well solve the problem by ourselves and re-form the Defense Association." Hermione looked around at the remaining students, and said seriously and firmly, "I want to pass the O.W.Ls exam of Defense Against the Dark Arts class."

"Honestly, I really don't understand what the Ministry of Magic wants to do, and why it would send us such a professor who tried every means to prevent us from using defensive spells." Ernie McMillan said loudly, "Those so-called theories , obviously cannot help us pass these important exams better."

"According to the latest internal news from the Ministry of Magic that I got, there are actually two reasons why Umbridge taught us "Defense Against Magic". As for the other reason, which is even more ridiculous, she thought that Dumbledore would encourage us to fight against the Ministry of Magic, and worried that after we learned these defense against the dark arts spells, we would turn against the Ministry of Magic. Fudge even absurdly thought that Dumbledore planned to use the school students to train a secret army."

"Where did you get the inside information?"

It was Ginny Weasley's boyfriend Michael Corner who spoke.

"If you listen to the wizard watch station, you can get the news." Hermione hinted: "It was never a joke station, and you will know it later."

"I have a question, who will teach us Defense Against the Dark Arts, Mr. Anderson?" asked the girl with a long braid behind her.

Everyone looked around one after another, but they didn't see Albert's figure.

"No, unfortunately, Albert is not available!" Hermione shook her head.

If it is not Albert, who will teach them?

Who is qualified to teach them.

Everyone is watching this.

"The "Guide to Self-Defense" compiled by Albert has what we need." Hermione held up the book and said to everyone, "There are many practical spells in it, and we will focus on the content of this book. Fortunately, , Harry has already mastered most of the spells inside, and the other part needs to be studied together by everyone."

After noticing the expressions on other people's faces, Hermione didn't give them a chance to speak, and continued: "I know you want to learn some more advanced magic, but the reality is that after reading this book, I found that I Even the most basic knowledge of Defense Against the Dark Arts has not been fully grasped, we still have a lot to learn."

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, and everyone was curious about what was in the book.

"Harry Potter has the ability to teach us Defense Against the Dark Arts?" Some people still have doubts about Harry's ability.

"Harry received formal training in the last semester, and it is not a problem to teach everyone some of the most basic defensive spells. The most difficult spell in the "Self-Defense Guide" is the Patronus Charm against Dementors, and Harry has also mastered it. cast the spell." Hermione began to steer the conversation in Harry's favour.

"You can really conjure a stag patron saint." The girl with long braids asked curiously.

"How do you know?" Harry asked.

"My name is Susan Bones." The braided girl introduced herself. "My aunt told me about your trial."

"Harry, you should show everyone your skills. This can solve many problems." George gave his own assist to Harry on stage.

Most people here have experienced the period when dementors were stationed at Hogwarts, and they are very interested in the Patronus spell that can drive away dementors.

"Harry." Hermione poked Harry, motioning for him to show everyone.

This matter was actually discussed in advance by Hermione and George. If you want everyone to agree with Harry, you have to show some strength.

If Harry has mastered the most difficult Patronus Charm in the "Self-Defense Guide", everyone will not jump out and question whether Harry is qualified to teach everyone.

"Call God Guard!"

After hesitating for a moment, Harry drew out his wand, and a jet of silver gas shot out from the tip of the wand, forming a silver stag.The patron saint walked around the activity room with graceful steps and disappeared.

After being baptized by dementors, Harry has been able to easily summon the Patronus in a bright room.

"Shall we learn the Patronus Charm too?"

"Yes." Harry nodded.

"I think it's necessary to formally learn something useful." After seeing Harry summon the Patronus, Hermione couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. "In the near future, everyone will face more challenges."

"By challenge you mean..." Cedric Diggory asked.

Gu Xiao</span> "Voldemort is back." Hermione mustered up a lot of courage to say the name.

When Hermione said the name Voldemort, the activity room fell into a strange dead silence, and even a gasp could be heard.

However, since the candidates for the party had been selected in advance, everyone's reaction was not too intense, but they all looked at Harry Potter with curious eyes.

"I saw Voldemort is back." Harry said blankly, "Whether you want to believe it or not, that's the truth."

"Of course, you can go and believe what Fudge says in the report, you can go and believe Umbridge, think that Dumbledore has dementia, is an old madman, you can even go away now and tell Umbridge we're partying here "Harry, who had taken the sedative, looked extremely indifferent, he raised an index finger and said, "Actually, you don't need to worry about whether this is true, because Voldemort is not a law-abiding person. In a year, no, in nine months you'll see signs of his activity in the papers."

"Of course, I have a way to let you peek into the truth." Harry said suddenly, looking at everyone with stiff expressions.

"any solution?"

"Let you directly watch the part of my memory." Harry said softly: "In the headmaster's office, there is a prop called the Pensieve, which can play the memory fragments in a person's mind, as long as you can get it from Dumbledore. Borrow something, I don't mind letting you watch the memory of Voldemort's resurrection."

"really?"

The pot was fried in an instant.

None of them thought that Harry would say such a thing. Although everyone couldn't tell whether Harry was lying, the possibility should be very high.

If it is fake, it will definitely be exposed easily.

"Of course it's true, I don't need to lie to you." Harry said meaningfully. "The premise is that you have the courage to bear the truth."

"I would like to believe you, Harry." Neville said with his hand raised, "My grandma always said that Fudge is an idiot, and it is meaningless for him to smear Dumbledore like that. Once the mysterious man appears in front of everyone, Fudge will be completely reduced to the entire wizarding world." laughing stock and sinner.”

"According to the information we have received, it is predicted that Fudge will be ousted from the position of Minister of Magic next summer." George blinked and said, "and Umbridge will naturally leave the school."

"So we never take the toad seriously." Fred added: "Next, we will introduce a candy called quick-acting skipping class candy, if you don't want to go to the toad's class, just eat one Let you skip class easily."

"Anyone who buys joke props from us to deal with toads will be given a discount." George continued.

"Where's Anderson? How does he think about this?" Shanna asked, and was about to push them along the way. She saw Albert's shadow from this club.

"He knows better than anyone what's going to happen next." Hermione was silent for a moment and said seriously.

"He knows everything, but he doesn't say anything." Michael Corner said suddenly,

"Even if Albert said that Voldemort would be resurrected, would you believe it?" Hermione asked back.

The answer can be imagined, even if there is one more Albert, there are not many people who are willing to believe, but they will be regarded as liars by everyone.

"Albert believed that the wizarding world would need the knowledge in the "Self-Defense Guide", so he spent a lot of time and energy compiling this book and teaching everyone how to protect themselves through it." Hermione said to everyone.

"Why didn't he publish this book?" Someone asked puzzledly, "No matter how much it costs, I'm sure I'd be willing to pay for one."

"Publishing now will only be attacked and discredited by the Ministry of Magic. Toad and Fudge agree that they are very afraid of Albert's influence." Hermione explained, "Are there any other questions?"

"What is the name of our club?" Lee Jordan guided, "Is it still called the Defense Association?"

"Yes, it's still called the Defense Association." Hermione continued, "You can also call it DA directly. This abbreviation also means Dumbledore's Army."

"Where are we going to meet and how will we arrange the meeting time?" Diggory asked with a frown.

"A party here, of course?" Aliya said matter-of-factly.

"No." Luna, who had been silent all this time, suddenly refused.

"Why, it's very hidden here. As long as we move around frequently, the toad will definitely not be able to find us."

"This place is actually more fragile than you expected, and it cannot support everyone to practice magic. Of course, it is no problem if it is only used for class, but we obviously need to practice magic more." George explained.

"It is impossible for us to operate under the eyes of the toad." Digory reminded everyone, "If the toad knew, the Defense Association would be banned and it would be regarded as an illegal gathering. As you saw just now, the toad even wanted to disband the wizard. card club."

Everyone fell into silence. This is undoubtedly an unsolvable problem.

They couldn't use empty classrooms or other places to hold parties, because the toad would definitely come to trouble them at the first moment.

"Let's go back and ask Albert about this matter, he must have a solution." Fred and George looked at each other and said in a joking tone, "If it really doesn't work, just use a spell to kill the toad quietly during the party." Stun, well, we were just kidding."

"When we confirm the time and place of the first meeting, we will send a message to inform everyone." Hermione took out the prepared parchment and quill from her wallet, took a deep breath and said to everyone, "Anyone who is willing Anyone who joins the club needs to leave their name."

"Do you still want to leave your name?"

Many people are somewhat disgusted by this practice.

"Once you sign, you agree not to tell Umbridge or anyone else about us," Hermione explained, looking at the people who stayed behind, "Before the first official gathering, you can always Find me in private to erase your name and withdraw from the Defense Association."

"After the party starts, I will cast a spell on this list to ensure that we can always know if anyone betrays everyone and informs Umbridge." Hermione noticed everyone's displeasure and said calmly, " If it wasn't for Toad, I definitely wouldn't do it, and now I have to prevent the worst from happening, I don't think everyone wants a traitor between us!"

"Strict secrecy is normal. I don't want to be imprisoned by the toad just because someone leaks the secret." Fred reached out and took the parchment, signed his name on it happily, and said to everyone, "If you are caught by the toad someday Hold on, she wants to force you to leak the secret, so you tell the toad that you have signed a contract and you can't tell the secret, and let her come to us."

"Looking for you?" Everyone's eyes widened, not understanding where Fred got his confidence.

"Yes, look for the two of us." George also signed the parchment, "We are not afraid of toads."

"Aren't you afraid of being fired?" Diggory asked twitchingly.

"If we were afraid of being fired, we wouldn't say that." The twins said in unison.
