Study Days at Hogwarts

  Chapter 761 Defense Association

  The turmoil caused by Sirius Black gradually calmed down as time passed, and Hogwarts Castle regained its former calm.

  If it weren't for the dwarf security guards patrolling the corridors, the students might have forgotten the panic caused by Black's invasion of Hogwarts twice.

   But for most fifth and seventh graders, the Ordinary Wizarding Level Examination and the Ultimate Wizarding Examination in a few months are their main concern.

   "Professor Lupine is sick again?"

   "Is he really okay?"

   "Professor Lupine seems to always ask for a few days off every month. Now I'm a little worried about the Defense Against the Dark Arts exam in June."

   "We have hardly learned much useful knowledge in this course in the past few years."

  After being told that Professor Lupine was ill and that Defense Against the Dark Arts was self-studying, the classroom immediately started whispering,

   "I think this should be the curse of Professor Defense Against the Dark Arts." Shanna reached out and poked Albert, "Do you know what is going on with Professor Lupine?"

"Actually, the Defense Against the Dark Arts exam is not as difficult as you think." Albert changed the subject and comforted softly: "As far as I know, we need to do a test paper, and then demonstrate the method of breaking the curse and the method in front of the professors." Defensive spells. For example: use funny funny to drive away boggarts. Most of the exam content comes from the book "Dark Forces: A Guide to Self-Defense". The content can't be too difficult."

  "Simple for you doesn't mean it's easy for us."

   "You said that Professor Lupine often fell ill, could it be because of the curse of Defense Against the Dark Arts professor?" Alicia suddenly said, "The curse made Professor Lupine sick, so that he could resign from the school?"

   "Hope Professor Lupine is all right."

   "Perhaps, Professor Lupine should resign early." George interrupted suddenly, "The curse of the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor is really scary. Think carefully about the fate of the previous Defense Against the Dark Arts professors."

   "Does Professor Lupine know about the curse of the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor?"

   "I think I should know." Albert said: "Professor Lupine has also studied at Hogwarts, and he must be aware that the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor changes every year."

   "Perhaps, we should persuade him to resign early to avoid accidents with Professor Lupine." Shanna also didn't want to see an accident with Professor Lupine, and everyone was very satisfied with the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor.

   "Hardly."

   Albert felt that it was absurd to ask a professor to resign early, at least he didn't think he could successfully persuade the other party.

"I think it's worth a try, isn't it? If Professor Lupine is willing to resign early like Professor Brod did, he might be able to avoid the curse." Shanna still wanted to try it. Too bad, she didn't want Professor Lupine to follow in their footsteps.

   "Albert, can you visit Professor Lupine with me, maybe we can persuade him." Shanna looked at Albert hopefully, "You sure don't want anything to happen to Professor Lupine?"

   "Today is not suitable, tomorrow!"

  Albert glanced at the moon profit and loss table on the parchment and said, "I will visit him with you at that time, and tell him about the curse by the way."

   "I'll go with you, too." Lee Jordan muttered, "I don't know if Professor Lupine would like to lend us a use of the Boggart."

   "What are you using the Boggart for?" Angelina asked curiously, "Are you practicing resisting the Boggart?"

   "He intends to use it to practice the Patronus Charm." Fred explained with a smile: "Harry used the Boggart to practice the Patronus Charm, and successfully summoned the Patronus in a short time."

   "Does this really work?" Shanna was also very interested in this. Her Patronus is still in the fog stage, and the stop of the Patronus Charm is a blow to her.

  "At least, after Harry uses this method, the effect is obvious." Lee Jordan didn't want to fall behind his little friend, "Maybe, I will succeed soon."

   "It's really worth a try." Fred said without thinking, "It just happens to be used to test our patron saint."

  Noticing the confused expressions of others, George said mysteriously: "Actually... Fred and I have successfully summoned the physical patron saint."

   "Have you successfully summoned the physical patron saint?" Aliya couldn't help but widen her eyes.

   "Those two **** succeeded a few months ago." Lee Jordan said angrily.

   "Yes, we succeeded." Fred grinned, "It's thanks to Albert's help."

   "A Patronus that has not passed the test of a Dementor is not a real Patronus." Albert reminded again: "If Professor Lupine is willing to lend us a Boggart, he should really use that thing for training."

  Actually, a long time ago, they asked Mundungus to help find Boggart, but that guy raised a high price, and they still haven't found Boggart yet.

  Sometimes it takes a little luck to find that thing.

   "What is your patron saint?" Shanna asked curiously.

   "Magpie."

  Fred and George said in unison, "Lee Jordan is an orangutan."

   "Hasn't Lee Jordan summoned a physical Patronus yet?" Angelina couldn't help asking, "How do you know what his Patronus is?"

   "What Albert said, he guessed very accurately. Before we summoned the physical Patronus, he guessed that our Patronus is a magpie." George explained, "He also guessed the gorilla."

  Everyone looked at Albert in unison.

   "What do you think my patron saint is?" Shanna asked first.

   "I don't know." Albert shook his head.

   "Then how did you guess what the patron saints of the three of them are?" Angelina asked with wide eyes, "Did you rely on divination?"

"The form of the patron saint is a manifestation of the inner symbol. To a certain extent, it is a kind of leak." Albert patted Lee Jordan on the shoulder and explained with a smile, "Of course, I can guess The main reason is that we have been together for a long time and know the personalities of the three of them very well.”

   "Oh, we've known each other for a long time." All the girls were disappointed.

"Ahem, I think we may need a club, a Defense Against the Dark Arts club, to find someone to help us make up lessons, as you all know, it is too difficult to get a high score in the Defense Against the Dark Arts class on your own. Shanna stared straight at Albert, the meaning was obvious, the so-called "finding someone" refers to Albert.

   "I think this idea is good, no one is more suitable than Albert." Angelina said excitedly, of course she also wants to get a good grade in the exam.

   "It doesn't take long, just a few hours a week," agrees Aaliyah.

   "There are still a few empty classrooms in the school. I think Professor McGonagall will be happy to lend us those empty classrooms. After all, we are preparing for the O.w.Ls exam."

"I agree with Albert to teach us with both hands. He taught us a lot of useful spells last time." Lee Jordan agreed with several people's proposals. With this club, the Defense Against the Dark Arts exam in June will definitely It will be much easier.

   "I need to join enough clubs every week." Albert flatly refused, "Also, the wizard card club is about to hold the finals recently."

   "I've been busy with the Wizards Card Club." Lee Jordan almost poked Albert's chest with his fingers.

   "I've already thought of the name, it's called the Defense Against the Dark Arts Club." Fred said with a smile.

   "Are you sure you have thought about the name?" Alia thought the name was perfunctory.

   "It can be called the Dueling Club." Fred said again.

   "Professor Lockhart is still lying in St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Injuries and Injuries!" Angelina reminded.

   "That's the Defense Against the Dark Arts?" Shanna said.

   "This name has already been used." George shook his head.

   "There is such an organization?" Shanna was a little surprised.

   "You probably forgot that Professor Lockhart is an honorary member of the Defense Against the Dark Arts Alliance." George reminded.

   "That's called the Defense Association, no one has ever embraced that name!" Shanna said again.

  I didn't even agree, why are you all acting like you've already established it?

   Besides, is this the DA who intends to steal Potter?

   Albert complained frantically in his heart, "Also, don't you think this name doesn't match what you want to do?"

  However, he soon discovered that a new task was triggered: to create a secret society with no less than twenty people?

   After seeing the general content of the mission, Albert was actually a little confused, because he had already established a wizard card club, and there were no fewer than 20 people in that club.

  The difference is probably the crowd.

  From that day on, the Defense Society was formed.

  When the meeting was established, even the parties felt baffled.

  Albert is very busy every day, even if there is a time converter, he doesn't want to waste time on this matter.

   However, he changed his mind after a new mission appeared on the board.

   Spending one or two hours a week can not only attract a group of people, but also complete a task with rich rewards.

  Why give up?

  It smells so good!

  The purpose of the Defense Association was quickly settled, which is to help everyone get good grades in the Defense Against the Dark Arts exam in June.

   It is a pity that there are only a few Gryffindor fifth-year students who have joined the association, and because there is no suitable meeting place for the time being, the Defense Association is only in name only, or it is only established verbally.

   Anyway, Albert is not in a hurry.

   The mission triggers, and that's what matters.

   As for when to complete the task, he has plenty of time. Judging from the description of the task, it is not necessary to set up a learning interest group, but to set up an organization similar to an association.

  It is naturally possible to expand the interest group into an association-like organization, but there is no rush for this kind of thing, and it is useless even if you are anxious.
