Study Days at Hogwarts

  Chapter 1161 Sour Soda

"That's a good idea, Harry, and I also think the D.A party should continue." Ron immediately echoed, "We have to learn some useful Defense Against the Dark Arts skills. not enough."

"All right."

  After hesitating for a moment, Harry finally nodded in agreement.

   "However, I'm afraid you have to help me. I'm afraid I can't do it alone."

   "Hermione is good at this." After noticing Hermione's gaze, Ron added, "Of course, I will help too."

   "We just need to keep the D.A gathering last semester, but this time we can't teach separately." Hermione wasn't worried about the meeting, "I'll help you sort out the content and process then."

"please."

  Harry breathed a sigh of relief. If he was alone, he really didn't know what to do.

"correct."

  Ron seemed to think of something, and suddenly said: "We'd better hurry up, the time is almost up."

   "What's coming soon?" Harry asked puzzled.

   "Don't you know?" Ron seemed very surprised.

"what do you know?"

   Both Harry and Hermione looked at Ron suspiciously, waiting for the other party to tell them the answer.

   "You will know later, there must be a big surprise." Ron said pretending to be mysterious.

  After the three of them returned to the Gryffindor common room, Ron asked Harry and Hermione to take a place, and he hurried back to the dormitory to get the radio.

   "Oh, you mean radio?"

  After seeing the radio, Hermione guessed what Ron meant by surprise.

  Since the Ministry of Magic jointly launched the Defense Against the Dark Arts training, the radio channel will be used to broadcast Defense Against the Dark Arts knowledge, home precautions and safety tips to British wizards at 8 o'clock every night.

   "It's not the program you think, it's a more hidden radio station."

  Ron took out a Nat from his pocket. After carefully observing the contents on it, he drew out his wand and tapped on the radio, whispering the row of Arabic letters below Gallon.

   "Is this... magic coin?"

  Hermione recognized the Nat and looked up at Ron in surprise.

   "Fred and George think your magic coin idea is good, and it is not easy to arouse others' suspicion. They also gave us this radio." Ron grinned: "Of course, I think this thing is easy to get caught..."

   At this time, the voice on the radio interrupted Ron's words.

   "Welcome to Wizard's Watch..."

   "Wizard Lookout?" Harry looked at Ron suspiciously. He knew that Sirius had broadcast on the Wizard Lookout before, and it didn't seem surprising to hear it now.

  Ron made a shush gesture to the two, signaling Harry and Hermione to continue listening to the radio.

"...Unfortunately, the current magic world is not as peaceful as everyone imagined. According to the latest prediction we got from Mr. Albert Anderson, the master of prophecy, in the next few years, the environment of the British magic world will become more peaceful. Too bad, especially for wizards born in Muggle families, the situation will become more difficult. I suggest that you have time to study the "Guide to Self-Defense" specially compiled by Mr. Anderson, so as to better improve your self-protection ability. "

"I dare say that "Guide to Self-Defense" is definitely the best-selling book this year." Ginny sat down next to her holding the brand-new "Guide to Self-Defense", "However, Snape... anyway... I feel that Snape Doesn't seem to like it, and Colin's bad luck arguing with Snape."

"Rather than letting Snape be the professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts, I think Dumbledore should invite Albert to be the professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts." Ron muttered, "Let Albert teach us "Guide to Self-Defense" , I dare say that the defense against the dark arts level of the entire Hogwarts students can be greatly improved."

   "I don't think it's possible, as for the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor's curse..." Harry fell silent after seeing Hermione make a booing gesture at them.

"...You don't need to complain about the Ministry of Magic. The mess left by the former Minister Fudge is really hard to clean up. I believe everyone can see that Minister Scrimgeour has worked hard, but he still can't change the current situation. To be honest, if If the source of danger, the mysterious man, is not eliminated, it will be difficult for the situation to improve."

   "However, there is also good news. Our master prophecy believes that Harry Potter will usher in peace for us in the near future..."

   "Ahem."

  Harry was embarrassed to hear that.

   "I think he's right," Ginny whispered.

"...You don't need to question the authenticity of the prophecy, because Mr. Anderson helped the Ministry of Magic to successfully break the conspiracy of the mysterious people not long ago, and used this to severely damage the minions of the mysterious people. Because of this incident, the Malfoy family is currently offering a high price. Mr. Anderson's life. Fortunately, Mr. Anderson seems to have foreseen this incident in advance. He is currently staying abroad and is very safe. Please don't worry."

   "I thought that guy had returned to China." Ron was a little surprised, and explained to the others, "Everyone thought he set the fire at Malfoy's house."

   "Everyone?" Ginny asked puzzled.

"Sirius, and everyone else in the Order of the Phoenix thinks that way." Ron said what he knew, guessing, "I think Fred and George must know Albert's whereabouts, but they don't tell. "

   "There must be some reason."

"You should still remember the fire that destroyed Malfoy Manor!" Ron said in a low voice, "It is said that the devil's flame is a very dangerous black magic, and members of the Order of the Phoenix believe that only a few people have the ability to control the fire from spreading to Outside the Malfoy Manor, directly burn the surrounding area."

   "Is Albert one of them?"

  Hermione had also discussed this matter with Harry and Ron, but she still didn't want to believe that Albert would do that.

  If Albert really wanted to take revenge on the Malfoys, there must be other ways.

"I think with Albert's character, even if he returns to England, he probably won't let anyone know about it." Harry always thought that the Malfoy family's collective brain must have been trapped by the door, so they would spend Gallon to offer a bounty on Albert's life .

   On the radio, Sirius was still sharing the current situation with everyone, and reminded everyone that to support Harry, they should also do it secretly to ensure the personal safety of themselves and their families.

"It was suggested by Fred and George." Ron interrupted suddenly, "They feel that if they openly support Harry, they will be easily retaliated by the Death Eaters, which will be a blow to those who support Harry. It’s easy to lose more than gain, and it would be better to let everyone secretly support Harry, and then keep in touch privately through other means, just like the anti-toad club back then.”

"It seems that they are being targeted by Death Eaters just because they are good friends of Albert." Ginny said suddenly, "The shop in Diagon Alley was temporarily closed at the end of August, and now Fred and George have gone into hiding gone."

   "What if the Defense Against the Dark Arts specialty store is sold out?" Harry asked suspiciously.

   "It seems that Dad is responsible for passing it on." Ginny said, "As for the business at the store, it seems that owl mail order is going to be used."

   "Looks like someone is handing out mail-order magazines for them."

   As she spoke, Hermione got a copy of the "Merry House" mail-order magazine from somewhere.

   "This..." Ron scratched his hair in embarrassment.

   He actually helped to distribute this thing, Fred and George gave him and Ginny some Galleons, and asked them to help distribute the mail order magazine of "Merry House".

After noticing the embarrassment on Ron's face, Harry probably guessed how these magazines came about, so he changed the subject and asked, "Hermione, do you know how to store Felix Elixir separately? It means to turn Felicia into pills like Albert did, and the bottle of Felicia that Professor Slughorn gave me can be used 24 times."

  24 times!

  Just thinking about it makes Harry excited, even if he can't use it up himself, he can share it with others.

   "Sorry Harry, I can't do anything for the time being, maybe you can ask Sirius, they might have a way." Hermione shook her head and said that there was nothing she could do about it.

   "Well, I will."

  Harry decided to use the double mirror to contact Sirius tonight.

  The broadcast on the radio was still going on, this time it was replaced by Lupine, he was explaining to people how to rationally use a series of simple spells such as the Stunning Spell and the Disarming Spell to protect themselves, and half an hour passed like this.

   "It feels similar to the previous broadcasts...but it's much better than those from the Ministry of Magic." Hermione changed her words after noticing Harry's gaze.

   "At least, a lot of the content in it is useful, that is, many things overlap with the content in the "Guide to Self-Defense." Ron commented.

   "You're right." Harry looked at Ron, "But what happened to the last Defense Against the Dark Arts package?"

   "Oh, you said that, it seems to be the result of Fred, George and other members of the Order of the Phoenix. I don't know the specifics." Ron looked at Ginny and asked, "Do you know?"

   "It seems to be a very detailed protection plan, which is said to help them escape."

   "Why isn't it popularized?" Hermione was a little puzzled.

"If everyone knows it, it will be easy to leak it. If the Death Eaters know it, it will not be easy to take effect. Therefore, they plan to leave this to Harry's supporters. After all, they are more likely to be targeted by dark wizards." Ginny continued, "I also heard that they might cooperate with Luna's father and contact them by sending manuscripts to "The Quibbler", but I don't know the specifics, and Fred and George didn't say anything. "

  Harry, Hermione, and Ron looked at each other, obviously unable to understand how they planned to use The Quibbler to keep in touch.

   "Harry, found you."

  Katie walked towards this side quickly, and handed the parchment in her hand to Harry, "The captain must be you, when do you plan to select?"

   "It hasn't been decided yet," Harry said, taking the parchment, "However, I don't think you need to participate in the selection..."

"Don't do this." Katie interrupted directly: "When Charlie is the captain, even if there are substitute players, he will try his best to be as fair as possible. If the captain always lets his good friends play, he will probably play well The team is ruined."

  Ron next to him was suddenly very embarrassed.

   "By the way, Angelina Books contacted me, and she seems to be a backup Chaser for the Holyhead Harpies." Katie told everyone the good news.

   "That would be wonderful."

   Everyone is happy for Angelina's success.

   "I think this path is also good." Ginny didn't really want to work in the Ministry of Magic in the future, because such a life would be too boring.

   "I think it's good too. If it wasn't so much trouble, I might consider joining a Quidditch team after graduation." Harry also likes Quidditch.

   "What was written on the parchment?" Hermione asked after Katie walked away.

  Harry unfolded the parchment in his hand, and recognized Dumbledore's handwriting at a glance:

   Dear Harry:

  I plan to give you private lessons starting this Saturday. Please come to my office at eight o'clock in the evening. I hope you enjoyed your first day of school.

   your faithful

   Albus Dumbledore

   And: I like sour soda.
