Daily Life at Hogwarts Chapter 1004: Guide to Self Defense

Late at night, the windows of the Gryffindor common room were still lit, and Harry Potter was sitting at the round table by the roaring fireplace doing his homework. He was a little sleepy. He covered his yawn and rubbed his sore eyes. He raised his hands and stretched out. Taking advantage of his spare time, he looked sideways at the pouring rain outside the window. Continue to pick up the quill, driven by schoolwork.

This month old being targeted by a toad, coupled with the hard training of the Quidditch team, rain or shine, has left Harry so little time to complete the homework assigned by the professors that he has to stay up all night to do his homework every day.

He inadvertently glanced at the scar on the back of his hand, which had left a shallow mark due to repeated sentences with the punishment quill.

Fortunately, what happened to Umbridge recently was worse than his, which made Harry's originally gloomy mood a lot better.

To further fight Umbridge, Harry joined the Anti-Toad Alliance.

Yes, the rumored Anti-Toad Coalition certainly exists.

Harry knew long ago who was causing Umbridge's trouble.

Is this Albert Anderson's idea?

Or a Weasley Brothers trick?

Harry doesn't know this, but the truth doesn't matter to him, what matters is that Umbridge was punished.

Yes, Harry didn't feel any guilt for being so rude to Umbridge, and he never even thought he would be so hated and hostile to someone.

Bringing back his thoughts, Harry continued to bury his head in copying his homework. It wasn't until the early hours of the morning that he put away the homework on the desk and took out the Mortra rat tentacle pain reliever ointment provided by the Weasley brothers from his pocket. Applying it on the back of the hand, the wound left by the punishment quill sometimes causes faint pain. It is said that the painkiller ointment is added with white fresh extract, which can avoid scarring as much as possible.

"Does your arm still hurt?" Hermione asked suddenly.

"Have you gone to rest yet?"

Harry looked at Hermione, who was still sitting next to her, in surprise. Hermione used to go back to rest before the early morning. It is said that staying up late is bad for her skin.

"Hermione said she wanted to talk to you about something." Ron also dropped the quill in his hand, wanting to hear what Hermione was going to say.

"Hermione, talk to me," Harry said calmly.

Hermione reckoned that she had something important to say, otherwise she wouldn't have picked it at this point, no doubt that she didn't want others to hear the conversation between the three.

"What did Sirius say?"

Hermione's first sentence left Harry and Ron a little confused, apparently not understanding the meaning of the words, and Hermione seemed to realize it, adding, "I mean practicing Defense Against the Dark Arts. things.”

"Oh, I got in touch with Sirius last night and he agreed with me being brave enough to stand up to Umbridge." Harry understood Hermione and smiled, "Sirius also recommended it to us. A great place to practice spells."

"Where?" Ron asked.

"Screaming Shack," said Harry. "He thinks Screaming Shack is a good option if we don't want Umbridge to notice, and we take time out every week to practice magic at Screaming Shack, if we have time. , Sirius and Remus will also find time to teach us.”

"Harry, if it's just the three of us, the Screaming Shack would be a good place, but..." Hermione's words were interrupted by a frowning Harry.

"Not just the three of us? Oh, do you mean Fred, George and Lee Jordan?"

Honestly, the Weasley twins are also pretty good at Defence Against the Dark Arts, they've trained Defence Against the Dark Arts with Albert before, and Harry even suspects he won't be able to beat one of them in a duel.

"I heard their joke props are very popular." Ron thought those guys were totally stealing money.

"Maybe it's not just the three of us." Hermione explained with a light cough. "The original Defense Association was not small, and... I think most of the members of the Anti-Toad Alliance would be willing to participate."

"Hermione, I think you're joking." Harry glared at Hermione and said angrily, "I'm not Anderson, and I'm not as charming as him. How many people do you think would be willing to believe me like this? We don't have that much room to move around."

"Hermione, I think Harry is right." Ron echoed, "If you really want to re-form the Defense Society, then you should let Anderson preside over it, only he has the ability to bring the students of Hogwarts back together. reorganized.”

Both had previously thought that Hermione was planning to start a three-person Defense Against the Dark Arts team, but now it seems Hermione is planning to reorganize the Defense Association.

Harry felt that if he did what Hermione did, he would probably be completely a laughing stock, after all, there were many students in the school who thought he was a liar.

"And, do you think Umbridge has no reason to lock me up?" Harry asked curiously.

"Harry, when are you afraid of Umbridge, if you want more people on your side..." Hermione was interrupted by Harry before she could finish her words.

"Hermione, I really don't know how to convince them, at least I don't think I have the ability." Harry was very disapproving of Hermione's plan, which was completely unrealistic.

If it's just a Defence Against the Dark Arts team, finding some good friends to communicate with each other and promote the level of Defence Against the Dark Arts is actually a pretty good proposition, but Harry feels that Hermione's "ambition" is a bit too big.

"A lot of people are willing to believe you, and I think you should give them a chance," Hermione said after a moment of hesitation.

"Give them a chance to see me joking?" Harry laughed to himself. "Don't kid yourself, Hermione, you know what other people think."

"I think Harry is right. Take our dorm as an example. Only Neville is willing to believe Harry." Ron was on Harry's side, and he knew the attitude of the others.

"If you want to reorganize the Defense Society, you should go to Anderson, he's better at that," Harry repeated.

"He's not available, Harry," said Hermione helplessly, "and you don't have to be rude, you're also very good at Defence Against the Dark Arts, and this..."

"What is this?"

"Albert gave it to me." Hermione handed Harry the book.

Harry took the book and glanced at the silver branding on it: "Guide to Self-Defense".

"A Guide to Self-Defense?" Ron asked suspiciously, "Is this a book written by Albert?"

"Yes, it's a Christmas present for me in advance, I've seen it several times, it's in the spell we practiced in the Forbidden Forest last term." Hermione explained to Harry, "It is said that this The book also refers to the training of Aurors, as long as you master the things inside, you can have some self-protection ability.”

"A book written by Albert?"

Harry was a little surprised. He casually flipped through the "Guide to Self-Defense" and found that there were some very basic spells above, and he had learned many spells, such as Iron Armor, Disarming Spell...

"It feels normal."

Gu YanYes, Harry's first impression of this book was mediocre.

"Harry, this is just the most basic knowledge, as long as you read the whole book, you will gain a lot." Hermione could understand Harry's thinking, because she felt the same way at first, but after reading the whole book After the book, she found that she had been in Defense Against the Dark Arts for five years without even learning the most basic things.

Hermione even thought this was a better textbook for Defence Against the Dark Arts than The Dark Forces: A Guide to Self-Defense.

"I dare say that you don't even know the most basic spell casting techniques. As long as you master the knowledge in this book, everyone's self-defense ability will be greatly improved." After reading the book, Hermione , adore Albert very much, she continued, "There are a total of 66 spells recorded in it, and they teach everyone to deal with various situations."

"Is this book really so good?"

Ron leaned in too, wanting to read the books touted by Hermione.

"I feel normal."

Harry really doesn't see the brilliance of this book, he has mastered most of the spells in it.

"No, Harry, I think Hermione is right." Ron took it and flipped through it, then nodded and said, "This book is really good."

"Really?"

"Harry, you feel ordinary because Sirius has taught you a lesson. You understand a lot of things, so you naturally feel ordinary." Hermione reminded, "You have to turn to the back of the book."

"Okay, Hermione, I agree with you, can you lend me this book for a while?" Harry casually flipped to the back and found that it actually taught tracking and anti-tracking skills.

He has to admit that he really doesn't understand this stuff, at least so far, no Defence Against the Dark Arts class has taught this stuff.

There is also teaching others how to use the phantom body spell, teaching others how to build a simple and safe temporary camp, and teaching various practical knowledge and skills.

Well, Harry admits that Defense Theory of Magic really only deserves to be in the trash compared to this book.

"I'm right, this book is a good textbook for us."

"But we have nowhere to practice spells."

Harry flipped through the book again and saw how to cast a spell on his house to protect his family from bad guests.

"If Umbridge finds out what we're going to do, I think she'd be happy to put everyone in lockdown."

"We can form the prototype of the Defense Association first, and we can slowly find a place to practice magic." Hermione said excitedly.

"Can we ask Fred to borrow their room?" Ron suggested.

"I'm afraid not. I don't think Albert will agree." Hermione shook her head and said, "Practicing magic may ruin the place. Fred and George have agreed to help find the activity room."

"Aren't you going to give up on that unrealistic idea?" Harry said, closing the book and looking at Hermione with a raised eyebrow.

"You always need some support." Hermione said without hesitation: "And there are things that we need to learn from each other and improve each other."

"Okay, Hermione, tell me honestly what you want to do, I don't believe you just want to learn some magic." Harry looked at Hermione and asked seriously, "What are your reasons? It's ridiculous in my opinion, if it's just the Defense Against the Dark Arts team, I believe that if you want, you can get a dozen or so."

Ron moves back and forth between Harry and Hermione, somewhat bewildered.

"Okay!" Hermione took a deep breath and said seriously: "The main reason is to learn more about how to protect yourself. But you should also know the current situation at Hogwarts, Umm. Richie is not popular, and she has been disgusting others recently, I think to provide opportunities for others, and to gather people who are willing to believe in you, it is not a good idea to fight alone, you need more supporters Harry, let everyone be willing to believe in you, and I think you don't want to be isolated!"

"My plan is to start pulling people from the Anti-Toad Alliance." Hermione continued, "The Anti-Toad Alliance has nearly a hundred members, and I believe some of them are willing to believe in you. I think we can mutually support each other. Combined, I believe everyone is willing to participate, they are fed up with toads."

"Hermione, I think you're naive," Harry said suddenly.

"What?" Hermione was taken aback.

"Actually, there is a way to convince them all at once."

"What?"

"The whole thing, to put it bluntly, is a debate about whether Voldemort is still alive." Harry pointed to the core issue, "For wizards who have never seen Voldemort resurrected, they want to convince them that the cruel reality is indeed true. It's kind of hard, so..."

"So?"

"Just let them face the harsh reality, Sirius told me that there is a stone basin in Dumbledore's office to bring the memory to everyone ~IndoMTL.com~ Just let others watch the memory of Voldemort's resurrection , no one will doubt that Voldemort is alive again."

Hermione opened her mouth, stunned by Harry's approach.

"You're right, but...would Dumbledore be willing to lend us the stone basin?" Ron actually wanted to see Voldemort's resurrection, too, "and, if you could do that, Why didn't Dumbledore let Fudge watch your memory?"

"Because Fudge doesn't want to step down!" Harry sneered. "Whether he sees it or not, Fudge won't believe it. Once he admits that Voldemort is alive, he has to step down and get out."

"Then what?" said Ron.

"If you want to form a Defence Against the Dark Arts team, then do as I want," Harry said to Hermione, "If you want to believe, invite, and if you don't want to believe, just let them know what we want. What to do instead of finding a reason to bring them here."

"But Harry, everyone..."

"I never felt like I needed to be acknowledged or spent time trying to convince anyone," interrupted Harry, "I don't want to be treated like a monkey in a zoo at all, and I don't think I can meet. A bunch of guys who want to see my jokes?"

"Sorry, maybe I'm going a little too far." Harry apologized to Hermione, "but I think Fred and George are right, you're really naive in some ways."

"Lend me this book for a while, so I'll study the contents." Harry took the book and left.

"Hermione, are you all right?" Ron asked worriedly.

"Do you also think my method is unreliable?" Hermione asked Ron.

"I don't know," said Ron, shaking his head, "but I just wanted to learn something useful, and Harry must have thought so too."
