Harry Potter and Shafik

Chapter 99 Wizards Union
"Voldemort is on the move!"

The news made everyone in the room tremble, and Ron hurriedly said, "This guy recovered so quickly? Impossible! He was still weak when he was in the cemetery last time."

Sirius said: "We think so too, but the situation is worse than we expected. The previous thing started with a series of wizard disappearances. Harry, and everyone, I'm afraid you will have to fight alone now."

"Damn it!" Harry rubbed his forehead and said wearily, "It's really bad."

"By the way, Hilbert. Where has your master Lingxu been these days?"

"He said, he's gone to America now, why? What's the matter with you?"

"We need his help, his life-saving piece of paper. Better have one."

"Then I'll write him a letter."

"Okay, that's it! Oh, I've got someone here. Guys, you've got to do something."

The fire went out, and Sirius left.

"Crack!"

Suddenly a thunderbolt flashed outside, and it began to rain heavily.

Ron looked at everyone and said, "Well, now that the situation is clear, we do have to do something. What should we do?"

Almost at the same time, everyone turned their attention to Hilbert. Hilbert was staring at the rain outside the window, and was irritated by the eyes.

"What do you see me doing?" Hilbert asked in surprise.

"Continue to talk about forming Defense Against the Dark Arts!"

"Okay, Harry Ron is in charge of selecting the number of people, Hermione is in charge of contacting, and Daphne and I are in charge of finding teachers. The time is set for the Hogs Head Pub in Hogsmeade next weekend! It's quiet there, and almost no one goes there." Yan frowned. The Hogwarts students don't know about the Pig's Head Bar. It's not because everyone consumes it. On the contrary, almost no one goes there to drink a glass of juice. The main reason for its great reputation is its The style is really impressive.

Hermione said: "Although it's a bit dirty, no one really wants to go there. Well, it's the Pig's Head Pub, let's split up."

"But what are we going to do? We certainly can't, and I don't think Umbridge will let us recruit!" Ron reminded.

Hermione was discouraged, and said helplessly: "Yes, this is a problem."

At this moment, Hilbert smiled and said, "My dear, it seems that Pink Toad's new school rules do not prohibit club activities, do they?"

Hermione's eyes lit up when she heard the words, and she hurriedly asked; "You mean... the house-elf Fujin Club! Haha, that's right, it's definitely possible. We will issue the notice in the name of the Fujin Club."

"It's better to notify in private, which is more secure." Daphne suggested.

"And where are we training?"

"The Shrieking Shack can be on the weekends, and on weekdays it's in the Room of Requirement on the eighth floor! Do you know where it is? It's a great place."

"We will listen to you when the time comes." The next day Hermione, Zhang Qiu, and Luna began to inform the members of the Fortune Society to hold a secret meeting on Sunday.In fact, everyone who was notified knew in their hearts that this Fujinhui rally had nothing to do with the Fujinhui itself, and everyone could more or less guess the real purpose.

Although not many people agreed, at least these people promised to keep it secret.

On Sunday, a heavy snowfall at night made Hogsmeade extraordinarily enchanting.Hilbert and the others came here with trepidation. Although everyone agreed to come, it is still unknown how many people will arrive in the end and whether everyone will believe them.

On the way, Harry's heart was always in suspense. In his opinion, because of the "smearing" of the Ministry of Magic, his appearance would only have the opposite effect.

"This is crazy, who will let us teach? Remember what the newspaper said about me? A lunatic?" Harry said helplessly.

Ron also said: "Yes, be optimistic. You can't be worse than that hippopotamus."

Daphne took Hilbert's hand and said, "I will firmly support you." Hilbert thanked her by holding her hand tightly.

"It's almost here, how many people are there?" Daphne said.

Hermione said: "I don't ask for a lot, I'm very happy if I can break through double digits. Do you know? Several people refused when they heard that they were going to the Pig's Head Bar."

"Hehe!" Hilbert laughed, "That's right, but even so, I can guarantee that this is definitely the day with the most guests in the history of the Pig's Head Bar."

In fact, there was a reason for Hilbert to choose the Pig's Head Bar. It was not noticeable. The most important thing was that he needed to inform Dumbledore and the Order of the Phoenix of their actions.Hilbert would not delusional to rely on himself and these students to protect the school, at best they can only protect themselves, even when danger comes, they may not be able to do this.Moreover, Aberforth is still Dumbledore's younger brother, if there are so many people in the Pig's Head Bar at once to participate in the event.Then Aberforth will definitely notify Dumbledore.

And Aberforth is the eyes and ears of Dumbledore and the Order of the Phoenix, and he will inform them of the gathering here.

Hog's Head pub, off the beaten track as usual.Seeing these people's hearts began to align with today's weather.

Harry looked at Hermione and smiled wryly: "It seems that breaking through double digits is a luxury."

Hermione said: "Not necessarily, let's talk about it after going in. Maybe everyone has already come."

At this time, five people they were familiar with appeared in front of them, one was wearing a thick coat and a bearskin hat.Take another person's hand. "Victor! And Olivia!"

"Hi, Hilbert! We came here from France after receiving your letter."

"Hi! Hello! Harry!"

"Hibiscus!"

While talking, the dilapidated wooden door of the bar was pushed open, and a handsome handsome guy came out.

"Cedric!?" Several people looked at the visitor in surprise.

Cedric graduated last year, and they didn't expect him to come back at all.

"Hehe! Guys, long time no see, are you surprised to see me?" Cedric laughed.

"And me, Bill Weasley!"

"Big brother!"

"Hey, Ron, I heard that you have become a prefect, congratulations!"

After graduating, Cedric Diggory went to Gringotts to work as Bill's deputy, and Fleur also found a temporary job during the summer vacation in order to get close to Bill.Of course Bill also liked Fleur.Just dare not confess.

"These are the five teachers I invited. With them here, I believe our Defense Against the Dark Arts will not be bad."

"Hey! Hilbert, why did you call them here?" It was Draco.

"Why are you here?" Harry asked, frowning.

"Since it is the Defense Against the Dark Arts study group, of course the four colleges are together. Besides, we are at least together in dealing with the pink toad." Hilbert said.

"In fact, it's not just us, Hilbert also brought two new freshmen this year."

Nangong Xiongying and Adolf von Braun also came out from behind the door.

After seeing Krum, Adolf hurried up to hold Krum's hand and greeted him cordially in Russian.Although I can't understand, I can still feel a strong feeling of meeting old acquaintances in a foreign land from the words of the two.Harry looked up at the appearance of the Hog's Head pub. The dilapidated wooden signboard was hanging on a rusty bracket above the door, with a picture of a chopped-off wild boar's head, blood seeping through the white cloth that wrapped it.The Hog's Head pub is a great place to buy and sell black market items, with the highest number of illegal items in the UK outside of Knockturn Lane.But after midnight is when it actually opens.The inside is nothing like The Three Broomsticks, where the big bar always feels bright, clean and warm.The Hog's Head had only one small, dark, very dirty room, which smelt strongly of mutton.The bay windows were so thick with grime that little light could penetrate, and candle stubs were burning on rough wooden tables.At first glance, Hilbert thought the ground was compacted mud, but when he stepped on it, he discovered that the dirt that had accumulated for centuries had accumulated on the ground that was originally paved with stones.

"Excuse me, boss. Thirty butterbeers and five whiskeys."

"Thirty people here?" Hilbert asked Harry.

"Most of the Gryffindors are here, and some of the Ravenclaw Hufflepuffs are here. I don't know about the Slytherin ones. I'll order them later. You pay anyway!"

"you!"

Many people came to the bar one after another, most of them were from the Lion Court or the Badger Court and the Eagle Court.Only a few people from the Snake Court came.Of course, diehard fans who have Voldemort at home must be ruled out.So after screening, there is not much left.

When Hilbert stood up, everyone looked away.

"The purpose of everyone coming here," Hilbert said, "is because we didn't learn in the Defense Against the Dark Arts class that any practical opportunities are more practical than other courses in Defense Against the Dark Arts."

The group's attention still flicked to Harry from time to time. "During this extraordinary period, we should let go of past grievances. The students of our four colleges should unite and learn magic together to deal with external threats. Anyone who is willing to learn, the foreign teachers we invited and we will do our best Teach you."

"You believe what he said?" one of them said.What they were referring to was naturally Harry's nonsense about Voldemort's return, and everyone focused their attention on Harry again.

"Of course it is," said Hilbert solemnly, "it's not surprising that Voldemort is back—"

Before he finished speaking, there was a commotion.A Ravenclaw girl screamed and spilled butterbeer on herself; Neville let out a strange cry, which turned into a cough just in time.But they all looked at Harry eagerly, even eagerly.

"He is a powerful dark wizard," Hilbert waited for a while, and continued, "I don't think everyone will object to this, so it is reasonable for him to be resurrected through the evil spell."

"What evidence is there that the mysterious man is back?" Zacharias Smith, the yellow-haired Hufflepuff player, asked in an aggressive tone.

"Oh, Dumbledore believes—" Hermione started, without finishing.

"You want to say that Dumbledore believed him. Potter himself saw Voldemort resurrected, but I would like to ask, how did Potter see it? As far as I know, there is no such magic." The yellow-haired boy said He nodded at Harry, then looked at Hermione.

"Note," Hermione cut in briskly, "this isn't really what this meeting is about—"

"Mr. Smith, if you are here to find out about this matter, then you can go." Daphne interrupted Hermione, staring at Smith closely, "Leave now, immediately!"

"Like I just said, if you want to learn some defensive skills, whether it's self-defense or more advanced magic, we can teach you that when you need to use it one day, you won't be able to raise your wand but Overwhelmed."

"What's the plan?" Ginny asked.

"It's still the same sentence, we should unite, no matter what we have done to hurt each other, now is an extraordinary period, we can't learn Defense Against the Dark Arts by following the Ministry of Magic and Umbridge! We learn it ourselves, and we still have Five foreign teachers. He can help us."

"Since you want to learn defensive spells, the first thing is time, less than once a week, I'm afraid it won't be of much use to you. Only by practicing hard can you master various defensive spells." Hermione stood up, speaking in a cadence, not someone Nod your head in agreement with what he said.

"Wait," Angelina said, "make sure this doesn't conflict with our Quidditch practice."

"That's right," Qiu said, "it can't conflict with ours."

"And ours," said Zacharias Smith.

"I'm sure we can find a night that suits everyone," Harry said, "but you know, it's important, we're talking about learning how to protect ourselves."

"We think that the reason Umbridge won't let us practice Defense Against the Dark Arts," said Hermione, "is because she has some -- some ridiculous notion in her head that Dumbledore is going to use the school's students as a A secret army. She thought Dumbledore was going to encourage us to fight the Ministry." Almost everyone was dumbfounded at the news, except for Luna Lovegood, who interjected: "Yes, That makes a lot of sense. In fact, Cornelius Fudge has his own secret army."

"What?" said Harry, completely taken aback by the unexpected situation.

"Yes, he has an army of Heliopaus," Luna said solemnly.

"Impossible," said Hermione curtly.

"Okay, we don't need to discuss Fudge's secret army." Seeing that another argument was about to break out, Ron quickly stopped it.

"The training location is on the eighth floor opposite the tapestry where the troll beat Barnaba with a stick, our contact information—" Hilbert snapped Hermione's fingers.

Hermione rummaged through her bag for a while, producing a pile of gold coins, parchment, and a quill, then hesitated, as if trying to force herself to speak.

"These are magic gold coins. See this row of numbers?" Hermione held up a gold coin for everyone to see. "The number on the real gold coin represents the goblin who minted it. We use it to notify everyone of the party time."

She took a deep breath, as if making some kind of decision, "At the same time, I want everyone to write their names down, and if you don't want to, you can leave and forget about it as if it never happened. Let me tell you, if you sign your name, it will produce magic, if you leak or say it voluntarily, you will be backlashed by magic, it can be put simply. This is a contract of life and death!
"In addition, I need to remind you. This kind of study group is fine now. But it doesn't mean it will be fine in the future. What we are going to do is exactly what Fudge is afraid of. If you don't rule out the risk of being fired, you'd better think carefully." etc. After Hermione finished speaking, Hilbert reminded everyone.

The scene was a little cold for a while.Some whispered to their companions, while others lowered their heads and thought seriously.Harry looked frequently and quickly at Cedric and Cho Chang.Especially at this time.Qiu was whispering something to Cedric and didn't notice it, but Hilbert observed it.

Suddenly, Neville walked over sullenly and signed his name.It was a surprise, but someone took the lead and others followed suit.When the last person - Draco - had also signed, Hermione took the parchment back and put it carefully in her bag.

"We should have a name, shouldn't we? Like 'Ministry of Magic is stupid'?" Fred said carelessly.

"Yes, it can strengthen the group spirit," said Hermione clearly.

Harry said, "Let's call it the Defense Association. DA for short!"

"You can really do it. Have you forgotten that another name for DA is Dumbledore's Army? If people in the Ministry of Magic know about it, wouldn't it be a dirty trick for the headmaster? It will make the Ministry of Magic more sure that he is forming wizards army?"

"I agree with Hilbert that we can't be named after the headmaster, the headmaster is under enough pressure," Cedric said.

"What's that called?"

"Wizards Union."

"That's not bad. Let's call it the Wizarding Union."

With everyone's unanimous consent, Hermione added the name of the organization to the list they signed.

"Hermione will tell you the specific time. Now I need to discuss with five foreign teachers to prepare a study plan based on everyone's learning situation. See you later!"

Others also stood up in twos and threes to leave.Harry kept watching Cho leave.

"Hey, when did Harry see Autumn?" After everyone left, including Harry, he had a lot of homework to do and no time to wander around Hogsmeade.Hilbert hurriedly asked Hermione.

"For a while, probably last year." Hermione replied after thinking for a while.

"Oh, Cedric has a competitor. Does he know?" Phoenix looked interested.

"I don't want to know, Harry knows that Cho has a boyfriend."

"Cedric, Harry is going to compete with you for a girlfriend!"

"Autumn will always belong to me. No one can take it away."

Nangong Xiongying and Adolf are back again.

"What's up?"

"I just thought about it. We don't have to use our own wands for training. My family is a family that makes various standard weapons. I made some wands in batches in my spare time, and we can use them for training."

"This is really a good way, thank you, Mr. Nangong."

"Wo's family is a family of spells. I invented a few small spells to try. Flying sand and rocks, iron armor advanced defense..." Adolf said in unconventional English.

"We have these strong capitals. No one can beat us!"
