The Mightiest Badger at Hogwarts

"George! Fred! Put me down!"

Ron struggled and shouted.

However, just as he was unable to resist the two big Hufflepuff men before, now he was also unable to break free from the hands of George and Fred due to his physical condition.

George and Fred ignored Ron's shouts and said with a smile:

"Hey hey hey! Ron, what's hidden in your arms?"

"Yes Ron, what good thing is that, why do you keep covering it?"

Ron became a little anxious after hearing this.

What he had hidden in his arms was a huge amount of money, which amounted to 3 Galleons and 1 Sickle!

If George and Fred discover this, they will definitely 'borrow' it!

Ron's eyes turned red and he screamed hysterically:

"Now! Immediately! Put me down right now! Otherwise I will write a letter tonight and tell mom all the good things you two have done recently!"

This is Ron's trump card.

He would never use it unless absolutely necessary, because he himself was not clean, and reporting on George and Fred would also implicate himself.

As expected, George and Fred saw Ron really anxious and couldn't help but look at each other, and then they let go at the same time.

what--

The unprepared Ron screamed and fell to the ground.

"Oh!~ My dear brother, we just played a harmless joke between brothers, why are you so anxious?" George and Fred smiled and said to each other, " That’s right, Ron, how could we harm you? You know we are brothers! Brothers!”

As Fred seemed to think of something again, he changed the topic:

"By the way Ron, why are you here? I remember you were having trouble with Link and the others recently, weren't you?"

After hearing this, Ron, who had just gotten up from the ground and was about to say a few harsh words, instantly became speechless.

He stood there and yelled "Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, ah, ah, ah, ah" for a long time, but he couldn't find any decent excuse.

Just when he was considering whether to run away directly, he heard George poke Fred with his elbow and said:

"What are you thinking about? What else could he do here? Of course he is just like us."

After hearing this, Fred gave George an elbow and asked Ron at the same time:

"Is that right?"

Ron followed the other person's words almost instinctively and said:

"Yes! That's right, I'm here to do the same thing as you!"

As soon as these words came out, George and Fred, who were having fun, stopped at the same time and looked at Ron.

The weird looks in their eyes made Ron get goosebumps all over his body. He couldn't help but take two steps back, wondering if he had said the wrong thing.

But the next moment he heard George and Fred laughing and saying:

"I didn't expect you to have received the invitation, and actually came. It seems that the conflict between you and Link has been resolved, right? This will save us some effort."

"Yes, originally Link asked us to explain to you that everything before was just a plan that we cooperated to implement, but now it seems that there is no need at all!"

"Okay, okay, it's getting late, let's go quickly."

After that, the two of them walked towards the large office that Harry and Hermione had just entered, with Ron in the middle.

It all happened so fast that Ron had no time to react.

……

In a large open hall that had obviously been blessed by the Invisible Stretching Charm and looked more like an auditorium than an office, Harry and Hermione were chatting in low voices with a group of junior students they had brought with them.

The arrival of George, Fred and Ron did not attract their attention at all.

Because at this moment, all their attention has been focused on the group of people directly opposite.

That’s six seniors led by Cedric and John.

Of course, the main reason why Hermione and others paid attention was not their grade, but that each of them was a well-known strongman in the Hogwarts student circle.

Among them are the Kennedy brothers and sisters, the only two prospective graduates in this year's Hogwarts NEWT alchemy class.

Gryffindor is famous for being a militant. Once, one person, with a wand and a wooden sword, single-handedly defeated 6 Slytherins of the same grade.

Apart from Emily, the most awe-inspiring, or feared, existence in Slytherin is the mixed-race wizard Newland.

Of course, there is also Cedric's girlfriend, the Seeker of the Ravenclaw Quidditch team, Cho Chang.

Looking at these famous bosses, Harry couldn't help but shrink his neck and whispered to Hermione:

"Are you sure that Link is really just setting up a self-study organization? Do these people really need to learn Defense Against the Dark Arts from Link?"

As soon as Harry said this, many people around him also turned their attention to Hermione.

The pressure from the group of people opposite them was so great that timid people, such as Neville, had the urge to run away through the door.

Facing the attention of everyone, Hermione was also a little at a loss.

After hesitating for a while, he gritted his teeth and forcefully explained:

"You don't understand at all! People as strong as them still come to learn Defense Against the Dark Arts from Link. Doesn't this just prove that Link's level is very high? Can we have the opportunity to accept Link's teachings like them? , you should feel honored!"

"Is...is that so?"

Harry said uncertainly.

Most of the students around him didn't quite believe it.

But at least they didn't pursue the question any further.

This made Hermione let out a long sigh of relief, thinking that she had finally been fooled.

What they didn't know was that while they were talking about the people across from them, Cedric and others were also looking at them.

Si Gefen, who had a strange appearance and carried a long wooden sword, looked at the junior students opposite him who were cowering like quails, and said expressionlessly:

"Cedric, didn't you say that this is a high-end organization founded by Mr. Link Foley? Why can such a bunch of noobs stand here?"

Cedric didn't speak, but glanced at Si Gefen lightly, acting extremely coldly.

But in fact, he was panicking in his heart, and he was frantically thinking of excuses that could be used to explain all this.

He also didn't understand where Harry and Hermione got so many junior students. You should know that this was the first gathering of their great organization, so why not just ask a few peripheral members to come over?

Just when Cedric had a headache, Newland, who had black hair and a black robe and a slightly depressed temperament, suddenly said:

"Don't be so impatient, Si Gefen. You can tell at a glance that these people are peripheral members recruited by the organization. The reason why they arranged to hold a rally with us today is probably because Lord Link wants us to get to know each other, so that it can be convenient in the future. Let’s cooperate.”

After saying that, Newland smiled and waved to the crowd opposite.

Upon seeing this, Hermione and the others quickly smiled back.

Seeing this, Si Gefen frowned slightly, stretched out his hand to hold the hilt of the sword and said in a deep voice:

"Viper, I warn you not to use your dirty methods on these innocent juniors and juniors, otherwise..."

"What else?"

Newland faced off against Si Gefen without showing any signs of weakness. At the same time, a cold aura emerged from his body, which was far away from the fierce and fiery aura of Si Gefen.

"Okay, stop making trouble. Don't you think it's embarrassing to act like this in front of so many people?"

Cedric interposed between the two men.

On the other side, John also grabbed Si Gefen, who had already half pulled out the wooden sword.

With the persuasion of the two of them, the tension between Si Gefen and Newland was finally extinguished.

Cedric glanced at Newland with a cowardly look.

He felt that he had finally met a smart person like himself.

John, on the other hand, looked warily at the Kennedy brothers and sisters in the corner, fearing that the two of them would also have a conflict like Newland and the others.

"Don't look at us. We don't care who is in this organization. As long as Link Foley, a wealthy man, is willing to give money to support our research, that's enough."

The elder brother of the Kennedy siblings said nonchalantly upon seeing this.

As for the younger sister, she hid behind her brother without saying a word, looking very afraid of strangers.

John looked at Cedric silently, his eyes speechless, as if he was asking what kind of monsters Cedric had invited.

Cedric just shrugged.

At this moment, a series of crisp and steady footsteps came from the passage inside the hall.

Cedric and John immediately calmed down their expressions.

Under the guidance of the two of them, first Newland, Skeffen and others, and then Harry, Hermione and others, almost everyone instinctively straightened their faces and became serious.

The originally noisy hall suddenly became audible, and only the sound of footsteps came slowly from far to near.

click-

The wooden door of the passage was opened.

Link and Emily walked into the hall arm in arm.

"Link!"

Hermione couldn't help but scream, but then realized the abruptness of the move and quickly covered her mouth.

Link smiled and nodded to Hermione, his eyes scanning the lower class students behind her and Harry, but in the end he focused on Cedric and the others.

After all, Cedric still does things much more appropriately than Hermione.

Before today's meeting, he had handed over the information of Newland, Si Gefen and others to Link, and by the way, he also mentioned his suggestions for the organization's future development of internal elites and external vassals.

To be honest, Link was confused when he first heard this suggestion.

He didn't want to build any long-term great organization at all. He just wanted to gather people's hearts and wrest control of Hogwarts from the hands of the Ministry of Magic and Dumbledore.

In the end, Cedric understood this.

But after thinking about it carefully, Link felt that this was pretty good.

After all, the people recommended by Cedric are quite capable.

Even if I don't plan to continue to develop this so-called organization in the future, I can arrange for them to shine elsewhere, and they will still come in handy.

Especially the Kennedy brothers and sisters who specialize in alchemy.

Alchemy talents like them are generally monopolized by wizard organizations in France, but they are rare in the country.

Nodding to Cedric, Link, who was watched by everyone, said loudly:

"Thank you very much for taking the time to come and listen to me talk. In the fine tradition of Principal Dumbledore's speech, I will just say it directly.

The main purpose of calling everyone here today is to solve the trouble caused by Umbridge's arrival at Hogwarts. "

"The most important point is that after Umbridge became the professor, the teaching level of the Defense Against the Dark Arts course has seriously declined. The model of combining theory and practice that has been restored with great difficulty in the past two years has changed again. Paper talk during Quirrell's time.

Umbridge may even be inferior to Quirrell. After all, Quirrell will at least give some practical examples, while Umbridge will only let you endorse it.

Of course, in Umbridge's own words, this does not mean that the teaching level has declined, but that the entire curriculum system has been optimized. "

Many people in the hall laughed out loud after hearing this, and Link cooperated very cooperatively until they became quiet again before continuing:

“Such optimized courses are not only boring to take, they also have no effect on improving our abilities.

Many of us here will face the Owl or Newt exams this year. Do you really think you can get a good result under Umbridge's guidance?

Yes!I know!Umbridge once mentioned that the Defense Against the Dark Arts newt exam might be restructured, and she even said that she could provide us with internship opportunities in the Ministry of Magic.

But, think about it with your little heads!If that doesn’t work, buy a few more copies of the Daily Prophet!

Not to mention Umbridge, even her immediate boss Fudge is in a precarious situation and may step down at any time.

You don’t really think that Umbridge can fulfill her promise, do you? "

Link's question was like thunder, booming in everyone's ears.

Many students who had been lucky before were now sweating profusely.

Then Link straightened his body and changed the subject:

"Students, others are unreliable. We should not place all our hopes on others. Only when we are strong enough can we have the confidence to face all difficulties!

That's why I invite you all to come.

In the coming days, I will set up a student self-study organization.Let me, Cedric, Harry, Hermione and others serve as student teachers to teach you more real Defense Against the Dark Arts.

This is to give you the confidence to face the upcoming wizard level exam. "

Link paused deliberately, "It's also to protect himself better when Voldemort comes!"

When the word 'Voldemort' came out of Link's mouth, more than half of the students in the audience couldn't help but shudder.

Some of them screamed.

Others stared at Link in disbelief, horrified that Link dared to say that terrifying name in public.

The hall instantly became chaotic.

A yellow-haired Hufflepuff boy gasped and burst out from the crowd with red eyes and said to Link:

"What evidence do you have that the mysterious man is back?"
