Chapter 1221 "Twelve Magic Weapons to Conquer Witches"
As March approaches, Harry finally holds another DA gathering under everyone’s constant urging. Before the party was about to end, everyone was surprised to find Fred, George and Lee Jordan quietly appearing in the Room of Requirement.
The three of them were all wearing beautiful black leather jackets, which attracted the attention of countless people.
“Their black leather jackets are really cool.”
Ernie MacMillan walked up to Cedric and asked tentatively, "Do you know where they bought their leather jackets?"
"The new product of Fengya Wizard Clothing Store. It is said that the store got inspiration from Albert's fire dragon suit." Cedric guessed Ernie's thoughts and kindly reminded: "That thing is The price is horribly expensive.”
“It’s expensive?” Ernie raised his eyebrows slightly.
“I can’t afford it anyway.” Cedric was envious. He had just started working and couldn’t afford a few hundred galleons to buy a leather jacket. Although several of them expressed their willingness to lend him the galleons first, after a brief consideration, Cedric still rejected the other party's kindness.
“What is this made of?”
Ron reached out to grab Fred's jacket and asked curiously. He also asked this for most of the boys here.
“Fine dragon skin.” Fred said with a smile.
“Albert also helped us do some small modifications.” George continued.
“You can think that this fire dragon leather jacket is the top defense prop sold in the Defense Against Dark Arts store.” Lee Jordan enjoyed the feeling of being in the spotlight.
“This is a defensive item?” Hermione was surprised.
“Yes, the Minister of Magic Scrimgeour also customized one for himself. If the price is not too expensive, he will probably customize one for each of the senior officials of the Ministry of Magic.”
As if to show everyone the superior defensive properties of the black fire dragon leather jacket, George actually pulled out his wand and recited a stun spell directly at Fred. After the red spell hit Fred as expected, he was actually bounced away by the leather jacket. .
"Wow!"
This scene instantly attracted the attention of countless students, but when they found out the specific price of the fire dragon leather jacket from Lee Jordan, they all gasped.
“Thousands of galleons, are you sure you’re not robbing money?” Michael Corner couldn’t help but complain.
"The finest dragon skin can resist most evil spells, and coupled with Albert's profound knowledge in black magic defense, ordinary spells will basically be directly deflected by this leather jacket. The specific effect has just been revealed to you. You see, even if you are hit by a black magic curse, it can greatly weaken the power of black magic. The only disadvantage is that it is too expensive, which is related to the use of high-quality fire dragon skin and the difficulty of Albert's transformation." George told everyone He introduced: "Of course, it can also have a very good thermal insulation effect, otherwise you think we would dare to wander around outside wearing only a leather jacket."
“Why are you here?”
While everyone was whispering, Harry walked up to the Weasley twins and asked reproachfully, "Why don't you come to help teach everyone about Defense Against the Dark Arts?"
“We just arrived.” Fred was not embarrassed at all.
“Let me tell you something.” George added.
“What’s the matter?” Hermione asked.
"I think you should have heard that we are being hunted by You-Know-Who and Death Eaters." Fred said.
“Is it related to this matter?”
"right."
George clapped his hands to attract the attention of the whispering crowd, "If you have read the latest issue of "Defense Express" magazine, you should be very clear about the current difficult situation of the Defense Association... We have been targeted by a mysterious person. .”
Harry, Ron and Hermione were all a little stunned, obviously not understanding what the Weasley twins were talking about.
Persuasion to retreat in reverse?
"Are you really being hunted by a mysterious man?" Bones couldn't help but ask Cedric. She felt that Fred, George and Lee Jordan had no sense of urgency about being hunted.
"It's not as serious as they said. The mysterious man is also very busy. He definitely doesn't have time to cause trouble for us minions. The only one who is qualified to be targeted and hunted by the mysterious man is Albert." Cedric shrugged. He said, "At most, we are likely to be targeted by Death Eaters. They always try to find Albert through us."
"Actually, their efforts were in vain from beginning to end. With Albert's character, how could he easily let people know where he lives." George shook his head slightly, as if laughing at the stupidity of the mysterious man and the Death Eaters. .
“Then how on earth did you…”
“How to avoid being chased by Death Eaters?”
"We have our own stronghold, which is the headquarters of the Defense Association. It is a shelter similar to that provided by the Ministry of Magic. It is very safe and even mysterious people cannot enter." George paused and continued: "It's absolutely fine. To ensure the safety of the exposed members, we are currently living inside.”
"If everyone hasn't made up their mind, it's enough to support Harry in private against the mysterious man. After all, it is a very risky thing." Fred smiled and said that he could understand everyone's choice.
"In the near future, we will take time to talk to you about the current environment in the British wizarding world..." Lee Jordan took out three radios from a bag and handed them to the prefects of the three colleges respectively, and continued to explain, "The time is 9 p.m. Point, of course, not every day.”
“We came here today to remind everyone of one thing.” Fred put away the expression on his face and said seriously, “Albert predicted that some very bad things will happen this year.”
“What do you call a very bad thing?”
The room in the room immediately exploded. Everyone knew that Albert's prediction was very powerful. He said that there was a high probability that it would actually happen.
"We don't know either. Anyway, Albert said that a lot of bad things will happen. You will know when the time comes. He asked us to prepare in advance, but I think that many people here support Harry and support the resistance to the mystery. People, even members of the Defense Association, you have the right to know this news." George's words directly classified all the members attending the DA party as his own.
“I think it’s bad what they did!”
"Don't say that. We are just giving them a choice. Someone always needs to unite everyone. A plate of loose sand will only become food on someone else's plate." Lee Jordan stood next to Harry, looking at the words thrown on the stage. Fred and George were talking and said softly, "Harry, I suggest you increase the frequency of DA gatherings and ask Fred and George to come over and help you."
“Is this urgent?” Harry was a little surprised.
“Not really, I just feel that the knowledge about defense against dark arts that everyone has learned now is very limited, and learning more will never hurt the future.” Lee Jordan said softly.
"Do you want to drag them into this wizarding war?" Hermione said this with a slight vibrato in her voice.
“They have actually been involved in this wizarding war for a long time, ever since they attended the DA party.” Harry actually saw it more clearly than many people.
“Albert said the same thing.” Lee Jordan gave Harry a thumbs up.
After Fred and George finished their speeches, the party gradually dispersed, and many people came over to say hello to Harry before leaving.
"Oh, by the way, Harry, Albert asked me to tell you something." Fred said to Harry after everyone left.
"What's up?"
"If you need this thing, he can take the time to customize one for you." Fred pulled on the dragon leather jacket and said to Harry.
“Is it free?” Ron couldn’t help but ask.
"What are you thinking about? It would be great if Albert could take the time to help make one, and you want it for free." George looked at his little brother with contempt on his face.
"No need at the moment." Harry shook his head. He didn't have that much money, and he needed to consider the situation of Ron and Hermione. If the price was cheap, he wouldn't mind spending some money to buy one for Hermione and Ron, but it was a pity that it was so expensive.
“Forget it.” George was not surprised. He turned to look at Ron and said, “I remember it’s your birthday soon.”
“You actually remember my birthday.” Ron said angrily.
"Of course you remember, we also prepared a birthday gift for you." Fred said, taking out a package from a traceless stretch bag and handing it to Ron, reminding, "Wait until your birthday to open it yourself, then we will Maybe I don’t have time to send you a birthday present.”
"What is this?" Ron was a little surprised, obviously not expecting to receive his birthday gift in advance, "You two actually only gave me one gift."
“This is heavier than other gifts.” George patted Ron on the shoulder, smiled and asked the others to leave. Before leaving, he reminded him, “Remember, it’s best to wait until your birthday before opening the package.”
“Mysterious.” Ron muttered, ignoring Fred and George’s words. After returning to the common room after the meeting, he found an opportunity to open the birthday gift given to him by Fred and George.
When they saw that there was actually a book inside, the three of them couldn't help but exchange looks.
“What the hell, they actually gave me a book. I always thought it was a joke prop made by them.” Ron looked disappointed. He really had no interest in reading the book, so he handed the package directly to Harry.
“Twelve Tips for Convincing Witches.” Harry read out the name of the book softly, with a somewhat stunned expression on his face. It was obvious that he did not expect Fred and George to give Ron such a book.
"I've heard of this book. This thing actually doesn't work very well. Only idiots with emotional idiots need to read this kind of thing." Hermione glanced at Harry and Ron, and couldn't help but curled her lips and said, "I remember Lavender and Parvati often study a similar book."
Hermione has actually seen similar stuff and knows what is probably written in this book.
But she has always felt that feelings are relatively one-sided. When you hate someone, everything the other person does will be wrong.
However, for the two emotionally slow people, this thing is indeed a good thing, and it can effectively crack their stiff heads.
“Are you going to dump Lavender?”
After taking the time to read "Twelve Tips for Convincing Witches" and carefully studying the contents of the book, Ron said to Harry seriously, "Yes, I feel that it shouldn't be difficult to get rid of her. She is now …”
"Sorry, buddy," Harry raised his hand and made a pause gesture: "I don't know what you plan to do, and I really want to support you, but there are so many things I need to be busy with now, and I really can't find any other energy. help you."
"The method is actually very simple." Ron simply explained his plan to Harry, "As long as I stay with Hermione a few more times, or we come out of the dormitory, I think Lavender will probably have misunderstandings, and then because of this Make a big fuss, and then I will..."
“You don’t need to break up?”
Harry was a little surprised by the way Ron came up with to break up, and was curious about the contents of the book "Twelve Tips for Bewitching Witches."
"I don't want to be like this, but every time I hint at breaking up, she gets more and more pestered." Ron said helplessly.
"You have to go to Hermione on your own for this kind of thing, if she is willing to cooperate with you." Harry had nothing to say about his friend's relationship problems. He silently took out his notes from his pocket and sorted out the things that needed to be resolved recently. .
"Harry, would you like to read this book? I think you may need it too." Ron handed Harry "Twelve Tips for Convincing Witches", "What you need to know about girls Everything is explained here, and it can also let you know how to approach the girl you like.”
"Oh, okay, I'll look at it later." Harry put "Twelve Tips for Enchanting Witches" next to him and continued to sort out his own affairs with the help of his notebook: the most important thing at the moment is actually to determine the Horcrux. The quantity, obtaining Professor Slughorn's memory is a very important part of it, to determine whether Voldemort really produced seven Horcruxes, and how many Horcruxes Dumbledore found.
Harry knew that the job of finding the remaining Horcruxes would ultimately fall on him.
That day, on the way to the library, Ron took the initiative to tell Hermione about his plan to get rid of Lavender.
"Sorry Ron, I can't do that." Hermione directly rejected Ron's request. "I suggest you go directly to Lavender to make it clear. I think this shouldn't be difficult for you."
"No, this is very difficult." Ron sighed helplessly, "Unless you can help me think of a suitable reason."
"Perhaps, you can tell Lavender that we will be participating in the second wizarding war in the near future, and you don't want to involve her in this cruel wizarding war." Harry said without thinking.
"That's a good idea." Hermione nodded in agreement, "You can also tell her directly that we are not sure that we can survive after this Wizarding War is over, to show that you don't want to drag her down."
This is not a lie, but a cruel fact.
