Study Days at Hogwarts

  Chapter 1109 Things to do before the holiday

  After the final exams, the Hogwarts school was filled with a cheerful atmosphere again, and the students who finished the exams were all enjoying the leisure time in the last few days before the holiday. At this time, the news that the Wizard Card Club planned to hold a party quickly spread among the students.

   However, at this point in time, most students are not very interested in joining clubs.

Finally, the final exam is over, and everyone prefers to enjoy the relaxation after the exam on the sunny venue. Many students plan to go to the Quidditch field to play. While enjoying the leisure time, they will vent their savings during the exam pressure.

   There are very few students who are willing to join the Wizard Card Club, at least compared to the original members of the Wizard Card Club, there are very few students, but this is also impossible.

   Albert is not surprised by this, there are at least 20 people who are willing to come to the party, and there is no embarrassing situation where no one attends the party.

The students who are willing to participate in the wizarding card party are considered to be more enthusiastic about the wizarding card, and Albert will naturally not let them down. After officially completing the ceremony of Luna taking over the club, Luna took the lead to hold a relaxed In the competition, the prizes given out were extraordinarily rich, and it could be regarded as a promotion for the products of "House of Joy".

  Originally, Fred and Lee Jordan wanted to use "flag joke store" as the name of the store, but both Albert and George thought the name of the store was very strange, so they finally changed it to "House of Joy", which was described as a store that can bring joy.

Everyone had a great time at this party, not only tasting cold butterbeer, but also a variety of delicious sweets, and they also won prizes through competitions, including Albert's just published "Guide to Self-Defense", or Frey Defense against the Dark Arts and Joke Items made by De & George.

   "Does this thing really work?" Hermione held the pocket watch she had drawn, and looked up and down the magical thing in front of her curiously.

"Of course it works, this is the latest product," Fred introduced enthusiastically: "Albert invented it. As long as there is danger nearby, the pocket watch will heat up to alert the user. It is a bit like a sight glass, but the sight glass thing It's too unreliable, once you make a sound, isn't it telling others that I'm here?"

"Once there are dark wizards or dark creatures around, it can tell the user which direction the enemy is coming from, so as to avoid hitting them directly. Is it very useful?" George took out a similar pocket watch and said, "The only disadvantage is that the effect is probably only It can last half a year."

   "Of course, this is a mass-produced version. If you want a more perfect black magic warning device, you can only ask Albert to customize it, but the price will be so expensive that you doubt your life." Fred shrugged and reminded.

   "Are you sure you're running a joke shop, not a Defense Against the Dark Arts props shop?" Ron had just tested the Defense Badge, and it actually bounced back Harry's Obstacle Curse.

  Although Harry had used similar things before, he could truly appreciate the magic of these defensive props only after trying them himself.

   "Since the resurrection of the mysterious man, the entire magic world has been unsafe, so Albert took the initiative to share his research results with everyone." George introduced, "By the way, where are the Alberts?"

  Everyone looked around to find Albert, and finally found Albert talking to Luna in the corner.

   Soon Albert was pulled back by Lee Jordan to introduce these magical defense against the dark arts props.

   "As we all know, the magic world is not peaceful now, everyone..." Albert was actually surprised why this group of people liked listening to him so much, but he calmed down and briefly explained the current situation.

  The simple summary is:

  The magic world is going to be in chaos, the Ministry of Magic is unreliable, and wizards born in Muggle families will be in big trouble. It is recommended to learn some means of self-protection. Most of the hawkers who sell amulets are liars. Don’t believe it. Fred and George’s black magic defense items are not as magical as imagined, and they need to be used reasonably.

   "Mr. Anderson, can you make an amulet against black magic?" A girl named Hufflepuff asked curiously.

"No way, most black magic is difficult to resist directly with spells." Albert shook his head and said, "Tales can only deal with some small magic, small curses, etc. Of course, they can weaken black magic to some extent power, but don't expect too much."

   "But you are the champion of the dueling contest, and you have also defeated many dark wizards. I think you must know how to deal with those evil villains."

   "If you are really in big trouble, my suggestion is to calm yourself down first. If you can't calm down, it's best to take some tranquilizers. It is very important to deal with it calmly.

   Moreover, it is best to find the enemy's traces in advance, and then use the illusion spell or invisibility cloak to hide yourself. If you can't confront them head-on, it's best not to confront them head-on. If you have to fight back, it is best to hide yourself first, and then use the stun spell to sneak attack the enemy. ' Albert suggested.

   "Stunning spell?"

"Yes, the stun spell, this spell is actually more practical than most spells, of course, it can also be a freezing spell or a body-binding spell." Albert explained, "As long as you can subdue the enemy, you will win, so there is no need at all." Deliberately pursue magic that looks powerful."

"Also don't go head-to-head with dark wizards. To be honest, it's very difficult for you to defeat them unless you use a sneak attack. Knocking down the enemy in one breath is your best choice. After knocking down the enemy, remember to make up a few more times spells, to make sure the enemy is completely subdued. If you have to, remember to use the Flying Charm to take away the opponent's wand. Remember, without a wand, most wizards lose their intimidation."

   "There are no such things in the self-defense guide." Cedric laughed and teased, "It seems that you have hidden a lot of good things in private."

   "If it is written, it will not be published." Albert said helplessly, "Some things are not allowed to appear in the book by the Ministry of Magic, so now I can only teach you secretly."

   "Then how do we face black magic?"

"I suggest turning around and running away when you are in danger, using the disillusionment spell to hide, or apparating to escape." Albert said, "It is never a shame to run away. Wizards confront, and that puts you in danger."

The second half of the wizard card club became Albert's Defense Against the Dark Arts lectures. He taught everyone what to do, how to use the Defense Against the Dark Arts props sold in Fred and George's store, and how to survive the turmoil that followed. protect yourself.

  Everyone listened carefully, and many people wanted to pick up a quill pen to take notes, because what Albert said was very practical.

   When it was time for dinner in the evening, everyone let Albert go.

   "I think you should summarize these things and write them into the "Guide to Self-Defense." Cedric felt very knowledgeable.

   "There are always many helpless things in this world."

The story of the Wizarding Card Club quickly spread in Hogwarts, and many members of the Wizarding Card Club regretted not attending the party, especially after the things Albert said spread among the students, many students were shocked. Feel that Dumbledore should hire Albert as Defense Against the Dark Arts professor.

   Everyone hoped that Albert would give them a few more lessons on Defense Against the Dark Arts, but they soon discovered that Albert had disappeared again.

  Finally, this important task was handed over to Harry, and Harry, Hermione, and Cedric gathered everyone together to sort out the content of Albert's lecture.

  Fred and George's defensive props also began to spread among the students, especially the protective props that can rebound magic and curses are widely welcomed. It is believed that the cash cow of defense against black arts will quickly make them rich.

  At the year-end party, Dumbledore made a rare half-hour solemn speech, reminding everyone again of Voldemort's resurrection.

   What surprised everyone the most was that Gryffindor actually won the Academy Cup this year.

  Although all the gems in the hourglass of other colleges except Slytherin have been deducted, Dumbledore still gives extra points to other colleges, reminding everyone that the mysterious man is back.

   It's just that Gryffindor added the most points because of Harry's relationship, which directly made Slytherin College, which was already sure of winning, a laughing stock.

   Snape wasn't happy about this, and kept his face frozen all night, like someone owed him a bunch of Galleons.

  On the day of leaving school, Albert became very busy. He needed to hand out silver cards to the invited friends in person and explain to them the risks involved.

  Everyone was shocked when they learned that Albert was about to get married.

   "Due to some reasons, the wedding has been brought forward, it will be next month." Albert did not forget to remind them again, lest they spread the news indiscriminately and provoke the Death Eaters.

  Albert has a way to ensure the concealment and safety of the wedding, but he can only ask for blessings if he is targeted by the Death Eaters due to rumors.

   "You're getting married!" Hermione widened her eyes in surprise.

"Yes, this is the invitation card, and time will be on it." Albert reminded when he handed the silver card to Hermione, "However, you'd better keep this a secret, because I offended the mysterious man and the Death Eater gangsters, they are likely to find out the exact time and place by inviting people.”

   "Oh, congratulations!"

  Hermione took the card and said worriedly, "But, is it really all right?"

   "Of course, I also invited Dumbledore, so don't worry too much." Albert said before leaving, "Because of Potter's situation, I didn't invite him."

   Albert will not be too tempted to invite Harry Potter, the big trouble.

   After Albert left, Hermione looked at the silver card in her hand, feeling indescribable.

   "Get married!"

  She really didn't expect that Albert planned to get married so early, and got married almost right after graduating from school.

  While Albert wanted others to keep it a secret, word of the matter still spread among the girls.

   "I have already said that this kind of thing cannot be hidden. Maybe you should wait until the holiday and send the card to them, so that there will be no such problem."

   On the way to cross the lake, Lee Jordan said innocently that this matter had nothing to do with him.

   "Secrecy is actually more about protecting them. I'm just worried that they will be patronized by Death Eaters for leaking secrets, and thus lose their lives." Albert's tone was full of helplessness.

   If someone gets bad luck because of this, he can't help it.

   "No way, I thought you would be more worried..." Lee Jordan raised his eyebrows slightly, obviously a little surprised that Albert would say such a thing.

"I have done the strictest screening. Even if I use the Imperius Curse or even compound potions, I have a way to screen them out. As for the specific location, except for those who are invited, no one else can enter." Alberto It has been prepared for a long time, and the strictest protection measures have been taken to ensure that there will be no accidents in the whole wedding.

"All aboard, everyone aboard, a small boat can only hold two people, ready to cross the lake." After Hagrid stood on the shore and made sure everyone was aboard, he took a boat by himself and shouted, "Go ahead!" !"

  A group of small boats sailed across the lake facing the cool wind, and everyone looked back at the huge castle that was gradually going away.

   "Head down!" Hagrid yelled.

  When the boat approached the cliff, everyone lowered their heads one after another. Hogwarts Castle, which was gradually going away, made everyone feel complicated.

   They stayed at Hogwarts for seven years, but they are officially leaving today.

  The lake crossing ceremony did not last long, and everyone disembarked from the boat with mixed feelings. Next, they had to go to the train station and take the Hogwarts Express train to leave.

   "Aren't you leaving?" Angelina asked puzzled.

   "No, you guys go first, we have to wait for someone, and we will just apparate and leave later." Albert smiled and waved goodbye to everyone.

  A beautiful figure walked towards this side, and directly gave Albert and Katrina a warm hug.

  Many boys whistled, and the girls felt sour.

   "Goodbye Albert." Hagrid waved to Albert, and led the seventh-grade graduates crossing the lake towards the train station.

   "What are you looking at?" Isobel asked.

   "Watching Hogwarts."

   Albert looked at the ancient castle in the distance, and said softly, "It's really a magical place."

Just now, Albert confirmed that he had completed the task of "The Millennium Ancient School: Hogwarts". Although the final progress was stuck at 81.5%, the completion progress was actually very high, and Albert gained a lot. Big waves of experience and skill points.

   "Can't bear to leave now?" Katrina was a little surprised at Albert's sentimentality.

"I'm still very grateful for that owl letter from the past. That letter changed my life. Otherwise, I would probably still be struggling for money like most Muggles." Albert retracted his gaze and looked at Iraq. Zebel said with a smile, "Let's go back too."

   "Let's go."

  Isobel reached out to Katrina, and Katrina reached out to press down the hair blown by the breeze, and put her hand on it with a face full of helplessness.

  A leaf fell on the black lake, causing ripples, but the three people who were standing by the lake had long since disappeared.

   (End of this volume)

   Finished another volume. There are indeed a lot of things recently, but this volume is finally finished. This volume actually pays more attention to the growth of everyone, and as a sharpening stone on everyone's growth path, Umbridge is fully utilized and has a little more role. The next volume of Voldemort is due for lunch.
