Study Days at Hogwarts

  Chapter 1156 National Defense Against the Dark Arts

   "Speaking of which, why do you have to pretend to be me to meet Joko?"

  Lee Jordan looked up and down at the guy in front of him who looked exactly like himself, reached out and touched his chin, and murmured, "Is it because I'm more handsome?"

   "No, I think I'm still more handsome!" Albert said with a smile.

   "poof,"

  Fred, who had just sipped his black tea, sprayed out the tea in his mouth.

"Hahaha!"

  George patted Lee Jordan on the shoulder vigorously, and said with a smile: "I think what Albert said makes sense, he is indeed much more handsome than you!"

"What are you guys talking about? And why are there two Lees..." Shanna was slightly taken aback when she saw that there were actually two Lee Jordans in the hall, and quickly realized, she asked tentatively: "Abbe special?"

"Yes, it's that unscrupulous guy who turned into me and went out to fool that unlucky Zoko." Lee Jordan stared at his face resentfully, and couldn't help complaining, "You can't change back Is it? It's scary to look at yourself like this."

   "The effect of the compound medicine is longer than I expected." Albert took out his pocket watch from his pocket, looked at the time and comforted him, "But don't worry, the effect should be fast."

   "You haven't said why you turned into me to see Joko?" Lee Jordan asked.

"Because it's safe." Albert explained helplessly: "Once I pass by myself, it will cause a lot of trouble. You should also know that the Malfoy family is looking for me, those greedy guys who live in the gray area , would probably swarm like sharks smelling blood."

   "What is a shark?"

   "A very dangerous sea creature." Shanna explained with a strange expression.

"What's more, there are Death Eaters. I guess those guys really want to kill me. Even if I'm not afraid of them, I still need to worry about being attacked." Albert paused and continued, "If it was someone else , They should not be so extreme in their actions, they may sneak attack, or try to use the Imperius Curse to control you to deal with me, but they will definitely not be as extreme as dealing with me."

  The room suddenly fell silent, and everyone looked at Albert in unison.

   "What's the matter, is there something wrong with what I said?"

  Albert obviously noticed the change in the surrounding atmosphere, put down his teacup, and asked suspiciously.

   "Have you met?"

  George couldn't help frowning and asked, "That Zuko really has a problem, right!"

"Well, that unlucky guy was indeed controlled by someone using the Imperius Curse." Albert shrugged, "Although I noticed it as soon as I saw him, that kind of situation is still unpredictable. The other party put it down with a butterbeer."

   "Butterbeer?"

"He said he had a good cooperation and wanted to have a drink, what do you think?" Albert reminded, "Don't eat and drink indiscriminately outside, God knows if someone adds ingredients to it. Well, when dealing with Death Eaters, it can be done Use this trick."

   "Is it because we went to see him at Hogwarts last time?" George had already realized the reason, "When we went to Hogsmeade Village, we were targeted by someone?"

   "No, we were very careful at the time, how could it be..." Fred was a little puzzled. When they went to Hogsmeade Village, they went to see Zuko after confirming that there was no danger in the village.

   "Well, there may be a Death Eater's eyeliner in Hogsmeade." Albert said without thinking, "There must be someone under the control of the Imperius Curse, so the detector didn't detect it."

   "However, don't worry." Albert comforted, "This matter is not a big problem."

   "Not a big problem?"

  Shanna looked at Albert with surprised eyes. She really couldn't understand the other party's calmness, and couldn't understand why Albert could say these words lightly.

"Then what should we do next? If Zuko is unreliable, the plan to open a branch in Hogsmeade Village may not be able to continue." Fred frowned and asked, "What are you going to do? Don’t make money?”

   "Just let Kenneth get in touch with Zuko." Albert had already arranged it.

Ever since Mr. Toller was sent to Azkaban by the Ministry of Magic to be imprisoned for organizing an attack on a specialty store last time, Kenneth took the initiative to come to the door, hoping to prevent his father from being sentenced to death by the Ministry of Magic, and at the same time, he also asked them For this reason, the two parties also signed a magic contract in exchange for their initial trust.

   "Alright, let Kenneth go." George nodded.

   "So, you let him go because of this?"

  Lee Jordan came to a sudden, he said why Albert exposed this matter so easily, there is still a pit.

   "It sounds like my conspiracy anyway."

   "It was."

However, after listening to Albert's words, the three of them have already realized that they had better not take the lead easily, lest they really become the targets of the Death Eaters. If they get into trouble at this critical moment, they may miss the last Time to make money.

   This is undoubtedly an uncomfortable thing.

  According to Albert's plan, as long as they work hard in recent years, they will almost never have to worry about making money in this life.

   "Next, do you have any plans?"

"Prepare a few more safe houses for refuge, and reorganize other people to conduct defense against black arts training." Albert motioned for a few people to listen quietly: "The next situation will only get worse, and you need some self-protection Ability."

   "Do you really think that Scrimgeour will be assassinated in the near future, and the mysterious man will completely control the Ministry of Magic?" Shanna frowned slightly upon hearing this.

   "It is inevitable. Scrimgeour has offended many people."

   "Dumbledore should not let the mysterious man control the Ministry of Magic." Saying this, Shanna suddenly turned her head to look at Albert, and she had a terrible guess.

   "Sure enough, is that so?"

   "Although that is indeed in line with the result I predicted, things have not happened after all, and everything may change." Albert calmly comforted: "I will warn them, but the specific result is hard to say."

   "Could it be, you can't..."

  Shanna looked at Albert, she felt that with Albert's ability, she might be able to...

"I have never been so arrogant that I think I can change the future." Albert laughed at himself. "All I can do is give them an early warning, that's all. As for their final outcome, they should decide for themselves, not me. .”

   "Besides, I don't have that qualification either."

"you're right."

  Sanna seemed to realize something, and sighed slightly.

   "Are you going to teach us Defense Against the Dark Arts?" George changed the subject.

"I will teach you some more important things. As for other magic, you can only rely on your own training." Albert recalled his rough plan, "Cedric, I will talk to him when the time comes. "

   "It seems that you plan to do a big job." Fred was a little excited.

   "I think the biggest question is where to put our secret stronghold?" George asked doubts.

  Although there is also a place to practice magic here, it obviously cannot accommodate too many people, and they still live here, so letting other people come over will pose a certain risk to their safety.

   "I haven't decided yet. I'll talk about it when the time comes. I just want to tell you first." Albert said with a smile: "You can help me find a way when you have time."

   "It seems that the future situation is very bad."

  Sanna is not very optimistic about the future changes in the situation. If the situation is not very bad, how could Albert need to prepare a lot of safe houses, which are obviously not for them.

   "It's really not that good, if you don't defeat the mysterious man." Albert said calmly: "Of course, that's Potter's task."

   "You also think he is the savior who can defeat the mysterious man?" Shanna was a little confused, in her opinion Albert was more like a savior.

   "Although my prediction is that Harry Potter will win, he is still only one person after all, and he needs everyone's support." Albert continued, "Moreover, everyone also needs a certain degree of self-protection ability."

   "Maybe, we should talk to the Order of the Phoenix..."

"Well, you're right, we can consider setting up a Defense Against the Dark Arts training institution together with the Order of the Phoenix." Albert clapped his hands together and said excitedly: "You can find Sirius to cooperate with Lupine, remember to put on your crazy eyes Han, he is the best sign, the famous former Auror, although his personality is eccentric, he really fits, doesn't he?"

   "But, will they agree?" Fred didn't think Sirius would agree to such a thing, after all, they all had their own things to do.

"They will, just take a few hours a week to pull... I mean, there is a chance to help Harry win a group of supporters, why not?" Albert's mind was running fast, and he pulled out his wand With a light wave, a quill is rapidly recording the idea he just thought of.

   "I don't think many people are willing to participate in training, after all, it costs money." Lee Jordan clearly pointed out the biggest problem, "And..."

"We can organize this training institution by cooperating with the Ministry of Magic." Albert interrupted, "I believe that many people will be willing to participate. This is more real than those boring pamphlets distributed by the Ministry of Magic. I believe Scrimgeour will definitely not Give up this opportunity easily, after all, he can gain a good reputation without spending any effort, and can also greatly alleviate the threat of black wizards."

   "The Order of the Phoenix can also use this to get some reliable support. At least it is necessary to find some supporters for Harry."

   "By the way, you also need to prepare a secret radio station..."

   "Sounds crazy!" Shanna muttered.

  They were all taken aback by Albert's brain hole. Is this planning to learn Defense Against the Dark Arts for all?

  In order to increase credibility, you actually plan to let the Ministry of Magic take the lead and let members of the Order of the Phoenix help with the training?

   "If you don't have a suitable base, I can also provide you with one for free. Well, it is the manor where the Ministry of Magic arrested the group of dark wizards last time."

   "That manor is yours?"

   "Well, Mr. LeMay left that manor to me." Albert nodded and said, "That manor has a large area and can accommodate many people."

   "Actually, you just want to leave things to other people." Lee Jordan unceremoniously exposed Albert's sinister intentions, "Is it purely because you want to be lazy?"

   Several other people stared at Albert with suspicion.

"I'm not making a plan for you, this is the most difficult job." Albert picked up the parchment and checked it carefully, and after slightly modifying some of the content on it, he handed the parchment to George: "You You can give it to Sirius first, let him pass it to Kingsley, and then Kingsley will pass it to Scrimgeour, I believe our Minister will definitely be interested in it!"

   "Are you sure there are any wizards willing to participate?" Lee Jordan was still skeptical.

   "If it were you, would you be willing to participate?"

"have no idea."

   "That's why the Ministry of Magic took the lead!" Albert reminded, "We don't want to train them to be warriors, but to teach them how to protect themselves."

   "Well, since you say so..." George took the parchment, "Hope you're right."
