Chapter 882 Training
“I accidentally let you escape yesterday, so you can’t run away again today.”
Having just finished breakfast, Albert, who was about to go to the Room of Requirement, stood up when he was pushed back to his seat by Fred, George and Lee Jordan. Having learned from yesterday's experience, they would never let Albert leave their sight and leave the matter of holding a wizard card competition to them.
“I have important things to do,” said Albert.
"I think it's more important for you to stay here and host the Wizard Card Competition, and you should take the time to meet the successor of the club. Or do you want the Wizard Card Club to end with our session?" Lee Jordan's eyes widened. Staring at Albert.
At present, the popularity of Wizard Cards is still linked to Albert. Once Albert graduates from Hogwarts School, the Wizard Card Club will inevitably plummet. Who else in the school will play Wizard Cards by then?
"Don't worry, when I finish the activity room, the Wizard Card Club will definitely continue to exist." Albert doesn't think the Wizard Card Club will disappear with his graduation. As long as the club can organize competitions and bring everyone If it is happy and can be a good place to make friends, it will continue to exist.
"Are you really going to give that book to Professor McGonagall, who will then pass it on to the next successor?" Fred frowned and said, "Is this really necessary?"
"This will ensure that the book will not be lost or corrupted." Albert never minded speculating on others with the greatest malice, and he dared to say that without this layer, someone would definitely take his book. Greedy for ink.
“What book?” Shanna asked curiously.
"A magical book, I haven't thought of a name for the moment." Albert introduced, "As long as you open the book, you can enter an empty activity room with enough space for everyone to play wizard cards together."
“Sounds a bit like a fairy tale.” Angelina is reluctant to believe that such a thing exists.
“You guys met me last semester,” Fred reminded.
"Last semester?"
“The classroom that Albert used was actually the book.” George explained.
"But, didn't you say that it was a secret room?"
“A movable secret room.” Fred shrugged, “To a certain extent, Albert was right.”
"No wonder sometimes you can't find the entrance to the secret room." Aria admired Albert's accomplishments in the Invisible Stretch Spell, but she reminded her kindly, "As far as I know, the Ministry of Magic strictly stipulates that the Invisible Stretch Spell cannot be used." used for private purposes.”
"What you call strict rules are actually rules that some people deliberately asked the Ministry of Magic to set in order to ensure their monopoly." Albert said calmly.
“How do you know?” Aaliya asked with wide eyes.
“Albert knows a few officials from the Ministry of Magic. Is it strange to know some secrets that no one else knows?” Fred asked. Anyway, they were not surprised at all.
In fact, their father once secretly used the Invisible Stretching Charm on the family car.
“That’s the guarantee we left for the Wizard Card Club, and everyone can’t play cards in the auditorium hall forever. We need an activity room of our own where everyone can enjoy the fun of playing games.”
“I agree with you very much.” Shanna said expectantly: “But when will you take out that book for everyone to see.”
“I believe everyone will be willing to help decorate the wizard card club’s activity room.”
“Waiting for the finals.” Albert was going to take out the book for a second test. He thought it might come in handy next semester.
While Albert and his friends were discussing the future plans of the Wizarding Card Club, Harry, Hermione and Ron, who had finished breakfast early, were walking towards the Forbidden Forest on the edge of the school.
When they passed Hagrid's hunting lodge far away, they saw Hagrid talking to Madame Maxime of Beauxbatons. Not far from Beauxbatons' carriage, a stable was rising rapidly.
“Hagrid seems to like that Mrs. Maxim?” Ron looked at the two people who were talking and said to Hermione next to him.
Neither Harry nor Hermione responded, and the three of them continued walking towards the Forbidden Forest ahead. After arriving at an open place, Hermione reached into her pocket and took out a piece of parchment. She turned her head and said to Harry: "Today we are going to learn the Eye Spell. Sirius thinks that if the opponent for the first project is a fire dragon, , the Eye Spell would be a good choice, as the eyelids of fire dragons are one of their few weaknesses. Of course, angering a fire dragon is not a good choice."
“A dragon?” Ron couldn’t believe his ears.
"Is it weird?" Harry turned to look at Ron and said expressionlessly: "It's not easy to find magical creatures. Albert thinks the fire dragon is a good choice. Of course, there is another choice: the Acromanttum. Spiders, there are a lot of them in the Forbidden Forest."
“He may have made a mistake.” Ron said without thinking.
"Why do you think the mortality rate in the Triwizard Tournament is so high and it was banned in the end?" Hermione glanced at Ron and said to Harry: "Most magical creatures are very resistant to ordinary spells. ability."
“The stun spell is not easy to use on a dragon.” Ron reminded, “Without seven or eight experienced wizards, it is impossible to subdue a fire dragon.”
"Learn the coma spell, of course, use it on people. Don't forget the guy who threw your name into the Goblet of Fire. According to Albert, the other party will probably do something to you in the final project." Sirius and Lu Ping said They came over and said, "We can't let you go to the battlefield without any combat experience, otherwise you may not survive until the end of the Triwizard Tournament."
"Good morning Sirius, and Remus." Harry greeted Sirius with a smile.
"Good morning Harry, here's this for you." With that, Sirius took out a wand from his pocket and handed it to Harry, "Try it first and see if it works."
“I have a wand?” Harry asked Sirius to see his wand. He didn’t understand why Sirius gave him a new wand.
"Of course I know you have your own wand, but you need to prepare another backup." Sirius explained: "Most wizards lose their ability to resist after losing their wands, so you need to prepare an extra backup."
"Last night, Sirius remembered Albert's advice and went to Mr. Ollivander's early in the morning to buy you this wand." Lupine explained, "You probably don't know that Albert He had many wands, and he once told us that the rowan wand was good for dueling as well as for casting defensive spells."
"Professor Lupin, what's in the cage you're holding?" Hermione's eyes fell on the cage held by Lupine.
“A stoat,” Lupine said. “This is for Harry to train the Eye Spell. However, before that, Harry needs to master the Eye Spell first.”
“A stoat?” Ron couldn't help laughing.
“Is there any problem?” Lupine asked, looking at Ron.
How great it would be if this ferret was Malfoy!
“Let’s go to the tent first and let Remus teach you how to deal with those magical creatures.”
“What if the first project is not about dealing with magical creatures?” Ron asked rhetorically.
“I don’t think it’s necessary for Albert to lie to us.” Sirius was very confident in Albert’s divination.
“Did you ask Albert to divine the content of the first project?” Hermione couldn’t help but ask, she felt it was cheating.
"It's a fire dragon. Every warrior needs to deal with a dragon." Lupine took a deep breath and revealed the content of the first project to the three of them. "Actually, Albert was right."
"Sirius, there is no need for you to waste money." Harry looked at his godfather, feeling a little disgusted that the other party paid Albert for divination.
"This is normal Harry. The fees for real seers are always very high, not to mention... forget it, you need to master the Eye Disease Curse first. When you master this spell, you will need to practice other spells and prepare a few more preparation plans. , to ensure that you can pass the first project smoothly." Sirius, unlike Harry, was happy to ask Albert for divination. Spending some money can ensure Harry's safety, so why not do it?
"Thanks to you, otherwise I don't know what to do." Harry lowered his head in shame. If Sirius hadn't helped him, he wouldn't even know what to do now, so he would just participate in the first project stupidly. , and then got scorched by a fire dragon and forced to abandon the first project?
The three of them were listening carefully to Professor Lupine explaining to them how to use the eye disease spell.
“Are we going to look for trolls later?” Ron asked, which was why he came here.
"Troll? Oh, we need to train Harry's courage. This is very important. It would be bad if he is scared by the fire dragon and his hands and feet become weak." Sirius took out a target and hung it on the tree, asking Harry to point at the target. train.
"Does Harry really need to face the fire dragon?" Hermione said worriedly.
"Don't worry Hermione, Harry will be fine for sure. You should have confidence in him." Lupine comforted him, "By the way, have you started learning the Flying Curse now?"
“Already mastered.”
"Harry, how's your flying spell going?" Sirius called to Harry.
"I haven't had time to master it yet." Harry defended. The Flying Charm had been taught in Charms class, but Harry had not mastered the Flying Charm.
“Do I need to use the Flying Charm?” Hermione asked doubtfully.
"Albert suggested that we play to Harry's strengths." Lupine said with a smile.
"Harry's strengths?" Ron was a little confused.
"It's flying." Hermione explained: "Are you going to let Harry use the Flying Charm to summon the Firebolt?"
"Yes, if the Eye Spell doesn't work as expected, Harry can at least rely on the Firebolt to continue to deal with the fire dragon. I don't think they expect the warriors to defeat a fire dragon. The warriors probably need to meet certain conditions. At least Harry's life can be saved, but the competition is not that important."
“I will take the time to teach Harry how to master the Flying Charm.” Hermione felt it was necessary to let Harry understand the world.
"This is very much like Albert's idea?" Ron looked at Lupine doubtfully and said, "I remember that Albert is also a good seeker?"
"With Albert's ability, it should be difficult to put these to use." Lu Ping admired Albert's ability and even thought of a solution for them.
Near noon, Harry had initially mastered the Eye Spell. He used the ferret to test the spell and found that it was too weak to severely damage the fire dragon and temporarily blind it. Instead, it would directly anger it, causing Harry to get into trouble. .
“Alright Harry, let’s go into the woods to find the Acromantula to train your courage!”
“Isn’t it a troll?” Ron spit out the butterbeer he just drank.
“Originally I really planned to look for trolls, but unfortunately I didn’t find any trolls around. Instead, I found the nest of the Acromantula. Those big spiders are also very suitable for training your courage.” Sirius said with a sullen face.
"Um... I feel like I have a stomachache. I have to go back to school first." Ron's hand holding the butterbeer was shaking slightly.
Harry put his hand on Ron's slightly shaking shoulders and comforted him with a smile: "Don't worry Ron, with Sirius and Remus here, we will not be in danger."
"If we are really in danger, they will use Apparition to take us away as soon as possible." Hermione added.
"But, the big spiders and the giant dragon..." Ron really didn't want to deal with those big spiders, it was a completely loss-making business.
“Ron, don’t underestimate the Acromantula. Since it can be rated as a magical creature, it naturally has its own uniqueness.”
“I didn’t underestimate it.”
“Our goal is to catch one or two lone Acromantulas as Harry’s training subjects, and then we can directly use Apparation to leave.” Sirius told everyone about his plan.
“Why should I go along too?”
“This is also a good experience for you. When the time comes, you will use the stun spell and obstacle spell together. I remember teaching them yesterday.”
"Is this why you asked us to use the Stunning Curse and the Obstacle Curse yesterday?" Harry said suddenly.
"Um...I think my going here might hinder you." Ron was suddenly a little embarrassed, because he didn't know the Stunning Curse or the Obstacle Curse. He suddenly felt stupid for actually envying Harry for becoming a warrior. Obviously, this warrior also Not that easy to do.
"It's okay, Ron, you can help us stand guard. To ensure nothing goes wrong and prevent us from being surrounded by Acromantulas, we need someone to help us be vigilant about our surroundings. You can use this later." Sirius took out something from his pocket. .
“What is this?” Hermione asked curiously.
"The dark creature detector, Albert gave it to me, saying it can detect dark creatures around it. The Acromantula is a group creature. We have to be careful not to be surrounded and attacked by them." Lu Ping asked Everyone explained.
"Okay." Ron said dryly, knowing that he would not be able to escape the fate of dealing with those big spiders.
