Chapter 761 Defense Association
The turmoil caused by Sirius Black gradually subsided as time passed, and Hogwarts Castle returned to its former peace.
If it weren't for the dwarf security guards who often patrolled the corridors, students might have forgotten the panic caused by Black's two invasions of Hogwarts.
But for most fifth- and seventh-grade students, the Ordinary Wizarding Level Examination and the Ultimate Wizarding Examination in a few months are their biggest concerns.
“Professor Lupine is sick again?”
“Is he really okay?”
“Professor Lupine always seems to have to take a few days off every month, and I’m a little worried about the Defense Against the Dark Arts exam in June.”
“We have hardly learned much useful knowledge in this course in the past few years.”
After being told that Professor Lupine was ill and studying for the Defense Against the Dark Arts class, the classroom immediately started whispering,
"I think this should be the curse of the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor." Shanna reached out and poked Albert, "Do you know what Professor Lupin is doing now?"
"Actually, the Defense Against the Dark Arts exam is not as difficult as you think." Albert changed the topic and comforted softly: "As far as I know, we need to write a test paper and then demonstrate the cracking spell and spell in front of the professors. Defense spells. For example: using funny tricks to drive away Boggarts. Most of the exam content comes from the book "Dark Powers: A Guide to Self-Defense". I think the Ministry of Magic should also be very aware of the situation of the Defense Against the Dark Arts class at Hogwarts. The exam The content can’t be too difficult.”
“It’s easy for you, but it doesn’t mean it’s easy for us.”
“You said that Professor Lupine is often sick, could it be because of the curse of the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor?” Alia suddenly said, “The curse made Professor Lupine sick in order to make him resign from the school?”
“I hope Professor Lupine is okay.”
“Perhaps Professor Lupine should resign early.” George suddenly interjected, “The curse of the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor is really scary. Think carefully about the fate of the previous Defense Against the Dark Arts professors.”
“Does Professor Lupine know about the curse on the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor?”
"I think I should know." Albert said: "Professor Lupin also attended Hogwarts and must know that the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor changes every year."
"Perhaps, we should persuade him to resign early to prevent anything from happening to Professor Lupine." Shanna also didn't want to see an accident happen to Professor Lupine. Everyone was very satisfied with the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor.
“It’s difficult.”
Albert thinks it's ridiculous to ask a professor to resign early, at least he doesn't think he can successfully convince him.
"I think it's worth a try, right? If Professor Lupine is willing to resign early like Professor Brod, he might be able to escape the curse." Shanna still wants to try it. The recent Defense Against the Dark Arts professors are really It was too bad, and she didn't want Professor Lupine to follow in their footsteps.
"Albert, can you come with me to visit Professor Lupine? Maybe we can convince him." Shanna looked at Albert hopefully, "You definitely don't want anything to happen to Professor Lupine, right?"
“Today is not suitable, let’s do it tomorrow!”
Albert glanced at the moon profit and loss chart on the parchment and said, "I will go with you to visit him then, and tell him about the curse by the way."
"I'll go with you, too." Lee Jordan muttered. "I wonder if Professor Lupine would like to lend us the Boggart."
“What are you doing with the Boggart?” Angelina asked curiously, “Do you practice resisting the Boggart?”
“He planned to use it to practice the Patronus Charm.” Fred explained with a smile: “Harry used the Boggart to practice the Patronus Charm, and he successfully summoned the physical Patronus in a short time.”
"Is this really effective?" Zannah was also interested in this. Her Patronus was still in the fog stage, and it was a blow to her that the Patronus Spell had stopped progressing.
“At least, after Harry used this method, the effect was obvious.” Lee Jordan didn’t want to fall behind his friends, “Maybe, I will succeed soon.”
"It's really worth a try." Fred said without thinking: "It can also be used to test our patron saint."
Noticing the confused expressions of others, George said mysteriously: "Actually... Fred and I have successfully summoned the physical guardian angel."
"Have you successfully summoned the physical guardian angel?" Aaliya couldn't help but widen her eyes.
“Those two **** succeeded months ago.” Lee Jordan said angrily.
"Yes, we succeeded." Fred grinned, "Thanks to Albert's help."
"A Patronus who has not been tested by Dementors is not a true Patronus." Albert reminded again: "If Professor Lupine is willing to lend us a Boggart, we should really use that thing to train."
Actually, they asked Mundungus to help find a Boggart a long time ago, but the guy raised a very high price, and they still haven't found the Boggart.
If you want to find that thing, sometimes you really need a little luck.
“What is your patron saint?” Shanna asked curiously.
“Magpie.”
Fred and George said in unison, "Lee Jordan is an orangutan."
“Hasn’t Lee Jordan summoned his physical patronus yet?” Angelina couldn’t help but ask, “How do you know what his patronus is?”
Everyone looked at Albert.
“What do you think my patron saint is?” Shanna asked first.
“I don’t know.” Albert shook his head.
“Then how did you guess who the patron saints of the three of them are?” Angelina asked with wide eyes, “Did you rely on divination?”
"The form of the patron saint is a manifestation of the inner symbol. To a certain extent, it is a kind of leak." Albert patted Lee Jordan's shoulder and explained with a smile, "Of course, I can guess Mainly because we have known each other for a long time and I know their three characters very well.”
“Well, we have known each other for a long time.” The girls all looked disappointed.
"Ahem, I think we may need a club, a Defense Against the Dark Arts club, to find someone to help us with our classes. You also know that it is too difficult to get high scores in the Defense Against the Dark Arts class on your own. " Shanna stared directly at Albert, and her meaning was already obvious. The so-called "looking for someone" refers to Albert.
“I think this is a good idea, and no one is more suitable than Albert.” Angelina said excitedly. Of course she also wanted to get good grades.
“It doesn’t take long, just a few hours a week,” Arya agreed.
"There are still a few empty classrooms in the school. I think Professor McGonagall will be happy to lend us those empty classrooms. After all, we are preparing for the O.W.Ls exam."
"I raise my hands in favor of letting Albert teach us. He taught us a lot of useful spells last time." Lee Jordan agreed with the suggestions of several people. With this club, the Defense Against the Dark Arts exam in June will definitely be It will be much easier.
"There are enough clubs that I need to join every week." Albert simply refused, "Besides, the Wizarding Card Club is about to hold its finals recently."
“I’ve always been busy with the Wizarding Card Club.” Lee Jordan almost poked Albert’s chest with his finger.
"I've already thought of a name. It's called Defense Against the Dark Arts Club." Fred said with a smile.
"Are you sure you've thought about the name seriously?" Aaliyah thought the name was perfunctory.
“You can call it the Duel Club.” Fred added.
“Professor Lockhart is still lying in St. Mungo’s Hospital for Magical Maladies and Maladies!” Angelina reminded.
“That’s called the Dark Arts Defense League?” Zannah said.
“Someone has already taken this name.” George shook his head.
“Is there such an organization?” Shanna was a little surprised.
“You may have forgotten that Professor Lockhart is an honorary member of the Defense League against Dark Arts.” George reminded.
“That’s called the Defense Association. No one has ever embraced this name before!” Shanna added.
I didn’t even agree, so why do you act like you’ve already established it?
Furthermore, are you planning to steal Porter’s DA?
Albert murmured crazily in his mind, "Besides, don't you think this name is incompatible with what you want to do?"
However, he soon discovered that a new task was triggered: to create a secret society with no less than twenty people?
After seeing the general content of the mission, Albert was actually a little confused, because he had already established a wizard card club, and the club had no less than 20 people.
The difference is probably the supporters.
From that day on, the Defense Society was formed.
Even the parties involved felt baffled when the meeting was established.
Albert is very busy every day. Even if he has a time converter, he doesn't want to waste time on this matter.
However, after a new mission appeared on the board, he changed his mind.
By spending an hour or two every week, you can not only recruit a group of people, but also complete a very rewarding task.
Why give up?
It smells so good!
The purpose of the Defense Association was quickly determined, which was to help everyone achieve good results in the Defense Against the Dark Arts exam in June.
Regrettably, there are currently only a few fifth-year Gryffindor students who have joined the association, and since a suitable gathering place cannot be found for the time being, the Defense Association currently only exists in name only, or it is only established verbally.
Anyway, Albert is not in a hurry.
The mission is triggered, that’s the most important thing.
As for when to complete the task, he has plenty of time. Judging from the task description, it is not a learning interest group, but an organization similar to an association.
It is naturally possible to expand an interest group into an association-type organization, but this kind of thing cannot be done urgently, and it is useless even if it is rushed.
