Daily Life at Hogwarts Chapter 1155: The secret plan
"That guy always comes up with jaw-dropping ideas!"
After reading the contents of the parchment handed by George, Sirius couldn't help but sighed at Albert's whimsy.
Defense Against the Dark Arts training facility?
He really dared to think!
"Would Scrimgeour agree to such an unreliable plan?"
While Sirius was skeptical that the so-called Defense Against the Dark Arts training institute would be successful, he did agree with the idea of finding supporters for Harry.
"I don't know, but this method is better than distributing the "Guide to Self-Defense" to everyone." Lupin took the parchment and carefully read the brief plan above, "If the plan goes well, it should greatly strengthen everyone. Defence Against the Dark Arts level."
"It's not easy." Sirius muttered, "If it's free, maybe some people will be willing to participate, and if it's paid, it's estimated that few will be willing to participate."
"I remember you guys seem to have tried something similar before?" Lupin ignored Sirius' words and turned to look at Fred and George.
"Yes, at that time we had a 'Defense Society' meeting in the Room of Requirement, and there were about a few dozen students in attendance." Fred recalled, "At that time we taught people separately, according to their actual level. Teaching Defence Against the Dark Arts content, the effect is very good, most of the students who attended the meeting have significantly improved their Defence Against the Dark Arts level."
"What did you teach?" Sirius asked curiously.
"Stunning spells, disarming spells, iron armor spells and other relatively simple and commonly used spells." George explained, "I think some wizards have poor defense against the dark arts because they have not practiced it, as long as they get preliminary training. , their actual level will be improved by leaps and bounds, maybe their dark magic defense level is still not high, but at least they have the ability to protect themselves initially."
"It does sound reasonable. What the Defence Against the Dark Arts class at Hogwarts teaches is really useless. Most wizards don't have much higher Defence against the Dark Arts levels after graduation." Even Sirius I have to admit that George makes a lot of sense.
"Cough." Lupin coughed lightly and asked, "Do you think this plan is feasible?"
"Albert thinks Scrimgeour will agree to popularize Defence Against the Dark Arts." Fred and George exchanged a quick glance.
"The biggest question about this plan is actually whether you want it. If you want, it shouldn't be a problem as long as the whole plan is further improved." George added, "I suggest notifying Kingsley and Moody's to discuss it first."
"I'm here. I heard some of what you just said." Moody limped into the living room on crutches, reached for the parchment that Lupin handed over, and quickly swept it away. After reading the contents in his eyes, he took out a water bottle from his pocket, poured a sip of wine into his mouth, and muttered, "That guy really dares to think about it!"
A tired-looking Kingsley followed into the living room, took the parchment from Moody, read it carefully, and commented, "I think it's a good plan."
"Are you sure you're not joking?"
Moody turned his head sharply to Kingsley, as if wondering if the guy was a fake.
"Of course not, that's a good idea, thank you."
Kingsley took the butter beer from Sirius, took a sip, and explained to a few people with puzzled faces: "First of all, your thinking is wrong."
"Thinking?"
Kingsley took another sip of butterbeer before continuing, "Defense Against the Dark Arts training institutions are popularized in the name of the Ministry of Magic, but the Ministry of Magic doesn't really pay much, but it gets a lot of benefits, Skrein. Why doesn't Jay agree?"
"Okay, that's why George said that the biggest issue with this plan is whether we want to." Sirius curled his lips, "We do things, and the Ministry will benefit?"
"It doesn't count, it can only be said that everyone gets what they need." Kingsley looked at George and asked, "Actually, I'm more curious about what benefits Albert can get from it? If they all learn the Iron Armor Spell, your Defence Against the Dark Arts items may not be sold."
"I don't know, anyway, Albert can't let himself suffer, so don't worry about that." Fred was very confident in Albert.
"Are you sure the Ministry of Magic would actually agree to such an exaggerated plan?" doubted Moody, who had trained Aurors before and knew how difficult it was to teach a group of people, let alone the whole of England. The wizard of the magic world.
"Yes, you should have noticed. The Death Eaters have been messing with the Ministry of Magic lately, causing everyone to be devastated. I've been working overtime for several days." Kingsley reached out and rubbed his tired cheeks. Said, "If everyone has some self-protection ability, it can also reduce the pressure on the Ministry of Magic to a certain extent."
"Albert felt that we should develop a group of supporters who could prepare for the final duel in the future without inviting them to the Order of the Phoenix." Fred interjected: "He thinks Harry will end up with Mystery in the end. People duel, and Harry needs a group of supporters at that time, and we can just take this opportunity to win over some wizards who oppose the mysterious man to join us."
"Well, like the Anti-Toad League we used to form at Hogwarts," Fred continued. "This coalition exists and doesn't exist."
"What do you mean?" Lupin asked with a raised eyebrow.
"So we don't need them to do anything dangerous?" George explained, "After all, in the turbulent times that follow, it's dangerous to directly support Harry and subject to retaliation, but if By quietly supporting Harry, it is not easy to be detected, and we can pass the message to other supporters through the covert radio station."
"According to Albert's prediction, we should have one to two years left. Even if it is an hour a week for a year, most people will not stretch their hips too much on Defence Against the Dark Arts. At least on the Defense Association. Harry-trained Hogwarts students are better than most at Defence Against the Dark Arts."
"Sounds kind of plausible." Moody took another gulp from the bottle, "but I suspect it's not that simple, and some things are more troublesome than you might expect, especially if there's a fee."
"We can quote a higher price, and then we can cut the cost in half through the Ministry of Magic as before, and there's nothing to complain about." Kingsley didn't worry much about these issues, a few Galleons The cost is actually not expensive, as long as the reputation is out, there is no need to worry that no one will come to participate.
As far as he can tell, Harry did a good job at the Defense Society at Hogwarts, and the entire Ministry of Magic employees have terrible Defense Against the Dark Arts, more because no one taught them than everyone's skills very bad.
"Okay, since you think it's fine, I can take some time here to help, just to recommend our "Defense Express" to them." Sirius saw Kingsley and said no problem~IndoMTL .com~ will no longer be entangled. After all, it is only once a week, and it is only an hour or two at a time.
As Kingsley expected, the plan passed Scrimgeour's approval sooner than expected.
"Once a week, about a year, most wizards can keep themselves safe." Kingsley was explaining the plan to Scrimgeour. "In terms of manpower, we could invite some retired Aurors. Come back and teach them a lesson, plus some people from the Order of the Phoenix can also be sent."
"Aurors, or the Crisis Response Team, could be on duty here at the Ministry of Magic."
"Very well, I need you to make a more complete plan, and then you will be responsible for communicating with the Order of the Phoenix about this matter." Scrimgeour nodded and said, "When you go out, call Percy for me. Come in."
Soon, Percy Weasley knocked on the door of the office and walked in,
"Minister, are you looking for me?"
"I have something for you." Scrimgeour handed a document to Percy: "Look at the contents first!"
"This..."
Percy's eyes widened in surprise.
"This matter is kept secret for now, and I will let Fudge cooperate with you." Scrimgeour reminded: "Don't let Fudge know about this plan."
"Is this really necessary?" Percy asked suspiciously.
"Although I don't know what the dark wizards are trying to do, you should have noticed that those guys are constantly making trouble for us." Scrimgeour folded his fingers and murmured, "I have a hunch that there is a big conspiracy. It's waiting for us, so we have to be ready."
"Maybe, we should..."
"I will, but we can't always rely on them." Scrimgeour gestured to Percy to leave.
