Study Days at Hogwarts

  Chapter 295 Defense Against the Dark Arts Training

  Professor Smith may be planning something!

  However, Albert couldn't guess, but he felt that this matter had something to do with him.

   It’s not that he has serious persecution paranoia, but that the original runestone divination has not yet been fulfilled. Although he is very reluctant to admit it, Albert feels that his runestone divination may be right. After all, there are blessings on the skill panel.

  If Albert didn't have a skill panel, he definitely wouldn't believe in **** divination. At least, he won't believe his own divination results, but now that he has a skill panel, whether the divination is accurate is open to question.

  By the way, it seems that Isobel also had a similar divination result. I wonder if it has come true?

  Albert didn't ask. He always felt that even if he asked, the other party would probably only look at him with weird eyes. Isobel didn't believe Sybill Trelawney's divination. After all, Hogwarts' divination professor does not seem very reliable.

   Moreover, the more genius a guy is, the more he believes in his own judgment.

"What are you doing?"

   "Divination!" Albert flipped through the rune stone divination book in his hand, and compared his divination results with the contents in the book.

   "Will this thing be accurate?" Lee Jordan obviously didn't believe in divination. "I heard that the professor of divination at Hogwarts is a big liar."

   "I've heard similar rumors." Albert closed the book and sighed softly. The result of the divination was not the same as his guess.

   is very vague, just vaguely foreshadowing something.

   Sure enough, it is more reliable to use a crystal ball to predict.

"Next year, we plan to take divination. I heard that this class is relatively easy. Even if you fail the exam, it doesn't matter." Fred interrupted suddenly, "Then, there is the Protection of Magical Animals class. Charlie said that this class is very difficult." interesting."

"Divination requires talent!" Albert shook his head and said, "Without talent, no matter how hard you work, it's useless. As for the protection of magical animals, Professor Kettlebo is very old, and he will probably retire in a few years. I hope he Can persist until we finish learning the protection of magical animals."

   "I feel that even if Professor Ketelber doesn't want to retire, he will be forced to retire because of what you said just now." George couldn't help complaining.

   Albert rolled his eyes, put away the rune stone divination tool, and began to focus on his homework.

  Professor Smith's matter really made Albert a little annoyed. He felt that he had better do something before the other party left Hogwarts.

   Facing what might happen unprepared is definitely not Albert's character. If you are prepared, even if it is not useful, you will not panic too much.

   "I'm going to exercise my ability to defend against the dark arts." Albert said in a low voice in a voice that only a few people around could hear, "Practice in that room, do you want to come together?"

  The three of them looked at each other, not understanding why Albert suddenly pulled them to practice magic together.

   "I'm going to go into the Forbidden Forest to find the treasure of Gryffindor. Before I go there, I need to be fully prepared." Albert explained to the three of them after entering the Room of Requirement.

  Of course, this is just an excuse made by Albert.

  His defense against black arts ability is actually very average. It should be said that he has no experience in using magic spells to fight, so he plans to bring three roommates to practice.

   "I thought you..."

"The Forbidden Forest is very dangerous, and I am opposed to going directly to death." Albert pouted, "Naturally, you must be fully prepared to enter, even if our so-called preparations are useless, you must do it. Without the aura of luck, you will definitely die."

  Albert felt that he didn't have the aura of Potter's lucky protagonist, so he should make more preparations. It doesn't matter if it doesn't come in handy. There is no harm in improving his combat effectiveness.

"When will it start?" Fred and George looked eager to try, and Lee Jordan also seemed very excited. The most interesting thing about Defense Against the Dark Arts is practice. However, what they learned in class may not necessarily be true. They have learned a lot from Albert, and all three of them know that Albert is very powerful, and they plan to learn some useful spell-casting skills from him.

   "Don't worry, you need to practice from the most basic spells." Albert said softly, "Also, you must learn the spider retreat spell."

  Using practice to strengthen one's combat experience is the most reliable solution that Albert has come up with so far. By the way, he can make up for his lack of experience in this area.

   "But we have mastered the spell." Fred and George said in unison.

"Mastery doesn't mean you can use them. A wizard's battle is not just as simple as throwing magic at each other." Albert shook his head and said, "In the Forbidden Forest, it's not scary to encounter an acromantula head-on, what's scary is You were attacked by them."

   "Let's go, you take turns using the impediment spell on me."

"to you?"

   "I will try to block it with the Iron Armor Curse. Alright, let's start now." Albert called by name, "George, you come first, Fred is second, and Lee Jordan is third."

   "Okay, here we come." George grinned, and they had mastered the Obstacle Curse last year.

   "There are many obstacles."

  Looking at the oncoming curse, Albert's heart skipped a beat. This feeling is not good, as if someone shot you with a gun.

   "Armor protection."

  Albert chanted a spell softly while waving his wand, trying to block the spell. The impediment spell flying head-on collided with the Iron Armor Curse and disappeared as if spreading around.

   "The power of the spell is too weak, and keep your voice down when casting the spell. Don't tell others what spell you are using." Albert said casually, "Fred..."

  Albert asked the three of them to chant spells to themselves in turn, practicing using the Iron Armor Curse to deal with the spells, while what Fred, George, and Lee Jordan had to do was to make their obstacle spells hit Albert as much as possible.

  Of course, it is impossible for Albert to defend completely. After being continuously attacked by three people, he still cannot avoid being distracted by the spell several times.

   It's just that the magic power of the three of them is not strong, and the effect of the obstacle spell is limited, at most it makes him fall to the ground.

   "Now, how do you feel?" Albert asked panting.

   "The impediment spell is too common." Fred said first, "We want to learn stronger spells."

"It's because you don't know how to use it, and the obstacle spell you use is not powerful enough to effectively intercept the opponent. At least, it must reach the level of knocking people into the air." Albert said, raising his wand, casually With a wave, Lee Jordan was knocked out by a strong force, and fell straight away into a pile of cushions.

"Wow!"

  Fred and George both opened their mouths wide, looking at Lee Jordan who flew away.

   "Are you okay." Albert reached out to Lee Jordan to pull him up.

   "Not good, are we really using the same spell?" Lee Jordan was a little depressed. No wonder Albert wanted them to practice the Obstacle Curse. The emotional gap is here!

   "Take a break first. For the rest of the time, you will continue to use the obstacle spell on me in turn." Albert sat on the mat, ate a hard candy, and handed it to the roommate next to him, continuing.

"Most wizards' bodies are very fragile, so we don't need to specially practice stronger spells, faster, faster, and continuous attacks, as long as the spells concentrate on the opponent and make the enemy breathless. Even if it is A levitation spell can also exert unimaginable effects."

   "What you said seems to make sense." Fred muttered, "However, if the other party uses a strong protective magic to protect himself, I remember that you seem to be able to use that kind of powerful protective magic."

  He would love to learn that.

   "Don't be stupid. When fighting a wizard, if you really do that, you will only make yourself a target. It will definitely be bad luck to deal with a stronger dark wizard."

   "We want to learn more powerful magic." Lee Jordan grumbled.

"You still can't learn it yet." Albert gave them a fatal blow unceremoniously, "It's best to go step by step, first master the Obstacle Curse, Disarming Curse, Stunning Curse, Body Binding Curse, Iron Armor Curse and Crushing Curse." A few more practical spells, and then learn the spider retreat spell. If you can master these spells quickly, I can teach other magic, which is included in the "Practical Defense Magic and Its Restraint to Black Magic" that I bought last time. There are a lot of spells, we will study them together when the time comes."

"That's really great." George's eyes lit up. They had all read "Practical Defense Magic and Its Restraint against Black Magic" and tried some of the spells in it, but practicing alone was helpful without anyone teaching them. It was really difficult, and Albert later hid the book, so they never had a chance to read it again.
