Daily Life at Hogwarts Chapter 1107: Two things before the holiday
Chapter 1109 Three things before the holiday
After the final exams, the Hogwarts school was full of cheerful atmosphere again, and the students who finished the exams were all enjoying the leisure time in the last few days before the holiday. At this time, the news that the Wizard Card Club planned to hold a party quickly spread among the students.
However, at this point in time, most students are not very interested in joining the club.
The final exam is finally over, and everyone prefers to enjoy the relaxation after the exam on the sunny venue. Many students plan to go to the Quidditch field to play, enjoy the leisure time, and vent the exam by the way pressure accumulated during the period.
There are very few students who are willing to join the Wizard Card Club, at least compared to the original members of the Wizard Card Club, but this is also impossible.
Albert was not surprised by this, there were at least 20 people who were willing to attend, and he did not fall into the embarrassing situation where no one attended the party.
Students who are willing to participate in the wizard card gathering are considered to be more enthusiastic about wizard cards, and Albert will naturally not let them down. After officially completing the ceremony for Luna to take over the club, Luna led the organization It was a relaxing game, and the prizes given out were extraordinarily rich, which could be regarded as a promotion for the products of "House of Joy".
Originally Fred and Lee Jordan wanted to use "Joke Shop" as the name of the store, but both Albert and George thought the name of the store was very strange, so they finally changed it to "Happy House", which was described as a store that can bring joy. shop.
Everyone had a great time at this party. Not only did they taste cold butter beer, but also a variety of delicious sweets. Or the Defense Against the Dark Arts props and joke props made by Fred and George.
"Does this thing really work?" Hermione held the pocket watch she had drawn, and looked up and down the magical thing in front of her curiously.
"Of course it works, this is the latest product," Fred introduced enthusiastically: "Albert's invention, as long as there is danger nearby, the pocket watch will heat up to alert the user, a bit like a spyglass, but peeping The mirror thing is too unreliable, once it makes a sound, isn't it telling others that I am here?"
"Once there are dark wizards or dark creatures around, it can tell the user which direction the enemy is coming from, so as to avoid hitting them directly. Isn't it very useful." George took out a similar pocket watch and said, "The only disadvantage is that The effect will only last for about half a year."
"Of course, this is a mass-produced version. If you want a more perfect black magic warning device, you can only ask Albert to customize it, but the price will be so expensive that you doubt your life." Fred shrugged reminded.
"Are you sure you're running a joke store, not a Defense Against the Dark Arts props store?" Ron just tested the Defense Badge, and it actually bounced back Harry's Obstacle Curse,
Although Harry had used similar things before, he could truly appreciate the magic of these defensive props only after trying them out himself.
"Since the resurrection of the mysterious man, the entire magic world has been insecure, so Albert took the initiative to share his research results with everyone." George introduced, "By the way, where are the Alberts?"
Everyone looked around looking for Albert, and finally found Albert talking to Luna in the corner.
Soon Albert was pulled back by Lee Jordan to introduce these magical defense against the dark arts props.
"As we all know, the magic world is not peaceful now, everyone..." Albert was actually surprised why this group of people liked listening to him so much, but he calmed down and briefly explained the current situation.
A brief summary is:
The magic world is going to be in chaos, the Ministry of Magic is unreliable, and wizards born in Muggle families will be in big trouble. It is recommended to learn some means of self-protection. Most of the hawkers who sell amulets are liars. Don’t believe it. Fred and George’s black magic defense items are not as magical as imagined, and they need to be used reasonably.
"Mr. Anderson, can you make an amulet against black magic?" a girl named Hufflepuff asked curiously.
"No way, most black magic is difficult to resist directly with spells." Albert shook his head and said, "talismans can only deal with some small magic, small curses and so on, of course, they can be used to some extent Weaken the power of black magic, but don't expect too much."
"But you are the champion of the duel competition, and you have also defeated many dark wizards. I think you must know how to deal with those evil villains."
"If you are really in big trouble, my suggestion is to calm yourself down first. If you can't calm down, you'd better take some tranquilizers. It is very important to deal with it calmly.
Moreover, it is best to find the traces of the enemy in advance, and then use the disillusionment spell or the invisibility cloak to hide yourself. If you have to fight back, it is best to hide yourself first, and then use the stun spell to sneak attack the enemy. " Albert suggested.
"Stunning Curse?"
"Yes, the stun spell, this spell is actually more practical than most spells, of course, it can also be a freezing spell or a body-binding spell." Albert explained, "As long as you can subdue the enemy, you will win, so There is absolutely no need to go after magic that looks powerful."
"Also don't go head-to-head with the black wizards. To be honest, it is very difficult for you to defeat them unless you use a sneak attack. Knocking down the enemy in one breath is your best choice. After knocking down the enemy, remember how much Make up a few spells to ensure that the enemy is completely subdued. If the situation is absolutely necessary, remember to use the Flying Charm to take away the opponent's wand. Remember, without a wand, most wizards will lose their deterrence."
"There are no such things in the self-defense guide." Cedric laughed and joked, "It seems that you have hidden a lot of good things in secret."
"If it is written, it will not be published." Albert said helplessly, "Some things are not allowed by the Ministry of Magic to appear in the book, so I can only teach you secretly now."
"Then how do we face black magic?"
"I recommend turning around and running when you are in danger, using the Disillusionment Charm to hide, or Apparating to escape." Albert said, "Running is never something to be ashamed of, and I never advise the inexperienced You fight against the black wizard, that will put you in danger."
The second half of the wizard card club became Albert's Defense Against the Dark Arts lectures. Protect yourself from the turbulence that comes down.
Everyone listened carefully, and many people wanted to pick up a quill pen to take notes, because what Albert said was very practical.
It was not until dinner in the evening that everyone let Albert go.
"I think you should summarize these things and write them into the "Guide to Self-Defense." Cedric felt very knowledgeable.
"There are always many helpless things in this world."
The story of the Wizarding Card Club quickly spread in Hogwarts, and many members of the Wizarding Card Club regretted not going to the party, especially after the things Albert said spread among the students. Many students felt that Dumbledore should have hired Albert as Defense Against the Dark Arts professor.
Everyone expected Albert to give them a few more lessons on Defense Against the Dark Arts, but they soon discovered that Albert had disappeared again.
In the end, this important task was handed over to Harry, and Harry, Hermione, and Cedric gathered everyone together to sort out the content of Albert's lecture.
Fred and George's defensive props also began to spread among the students, especially the protective props that can rebound magic and curses are widely welcomed. It is believed that the black magic defense, a cash cow, will quickly make them rich.
At the year-end party, Dumbledore made a rare half-hour solemn speech, reminding everyone again of Voldemort's resurrection.
What surprised everyone the most was that Gryffindor actually won the Academy Cup this year.
Although all the gems in the hourglass of other colleges except Slytherin have been deducted, Dumbledore still gives extra points to other colleges, reminding everyone that the mysterious man is back.
It's just that Gryffindor added the most points because of Harry's relationship, which directly caused the Slytherin House, which was already sure of winning, to become a laughing stock.
Snape was not happy about this, and kept his face frozen all night, like someone owed him a bunch of Galleons.
On the day of leaving school, Albert became very busy. He had to personally hand out silver cards to the invited friends and explain to them the risks involved.
Everyone was shocked when they learned that Albert was about to get married.
"Due to some reasons, the wedding has been brought forward, next month." Albert did not forget to remind them again, lest they spread the news indiscriminately and provoke the Death Eaters.
Albert has a way to ensure the concealment and safety of the wedding, but he can only ask for blessings if he is targeted by the Death Eaters due to rumors.
"You're getting married!" Hermione's eyes widened in surprise.
"Yes, this is the invitation card, and time will be on it." Albert reminded when handing the silver card to Hermione, "However, you'd better keep this a secret, because I offended the mysterious man With the Death Eaters, they are likely to find out the specific time and place by inviting people."
"Oh, congratulations!"
Hermione took the card and said worriedly, "But, is it really all right?"
"Of course, I also invited Dumbledore, so don't worry too much." Albert said before leaving, "Because of Potter's situation, I didn't invite him."
Albert will not be too tempted to invite Harry Potter, the big trouble.
After Albert left, Hermione looked at the silver card in her hand, feeling indescribable.
"Get married!"
She really didn't expect that Albert planned to get married so early, and got married almost right after graduating from school.
While Albert wanted others to keep it a secret, word of the matter spread among the girls.
"As I said a long time ago, this kind of thing can't be hidden. Maybe you should wait until the holiday and send the card to them, so that there will be no such problem."
On the way to cross the lake, Lee Jordan said innocently that this matter had nothing to do with him.
"Secrecy is actually more about protecting them. I'm just worried that they will be patronized by Death Eaters for leaking secrets, and thus lose their lives." Albert's tone was full of helplessness.
If someone gets bad luck because of this, he can't help it.
"No way, I thought you would be more worried..." Lee Jordan raised his eyebrows slightly, obviously a little surprised that Albert would say such a thing.
"I have done the strictest screening, even if I use the Imperius Curse, or even compound potions, I have a way to screen them out. As for the specific location, except for the invited people, no one else can enter." Albert had been preparing for this for a long time and took the strictest protection measures to ensure that there would be no accidents during the entire wedding.
"All aboard, everyone aboard, a small boat can only accommodate two people, ready to cross the lake." After Hagrid stood on the shore and confirmed that everyone was aboard, he took a boat by himself and shouted, "Go ahead!"
Facing the cool wind blowing, a group of small boats rowed forward across the lake, and everyone looked back at the huge castle that was gradually going away.
"Head down!" Hagrid yelled.
When the boat approached the cliff, everyone lowered their heads one after another. Hogwarts Castle, which was gradually going away, made everyone feel complicated.
They stayed at Hogwarts for seven years, but they are officially leaving today.
The ceremony of crossing the lake did not last long, and everyone disembarked from the boat with mixed feelings. Next, they had to go to the train station and take the Hogwarts Express to leave.
"Aren't you leaving?" Angelina asked puzzled.
"No, you guys go first, we have to wait for someone, and we will just apparate and leave later." Albert smiled and waved goodbye to everyone.
A beautiful figure walked towards this side and gave Albert and Katrina a warm hug.
Many boys whistled, and the girls felt sour.
"Goodbye Albert." Hagrid waved to Albert, and led the seventh-grade graduates crossing the lake towards the train station.
"What are you looking at?" Isobel asked.
"Watching Hogwarts."
Looking at the ancient castle in the distance, Albert said softly, "It's really a magical place."
Just now, Albert confirmed that he had completed the task of "The Millennium Ancient School: Hogwarts". Bert has gained a large wave of experience and skill points.
"Can't bear to leave now?" Katrina was a little surprised at Albert's sentimentality.
"I'm still very grateful for that owl letter from the past. That letter changed my life. Otherwise, I would probably still be struggling for money like most Muggles." Albert retracted his gaze, Looking at Isobel, he smiled and said, "Let's go back too."
"Let's go."
Isobel reached out to Katrina, and Katrina reached out to press down the hair blown by the breeze, and put her hand on it with a face full of helplessness.
A leaf fell on the black lake, causing ripples, but the three people who were standing by the lake had long since disappeared.

Another volume has been written. There are indeed a lot of things recently, but this volume is finally finished. This volume actually pays more attention to the growth of everyone, and as a sharpening stone on everyone's growth path, Umbridge is fully utilized and has a little more role.
