Daily Life at Hogwarts Chapter 1155: Secret plan
Chapter 1157 Secret Plan
"That guy can always come up with jaw-dropping ideas!"
After reading the contents of the parchment handed over by George, Sirius couldn't help feeling Albert's whimsy.
Defense against the Dark Arts training institution?
He really dared to think!
"Will Scrimgeour agree to such an unreliable plan?"
Although Sirius doubted whether the so-called Defense Against the Dark Arts training institution would be successful, he agreed with the idea of finding supporters for Harry.
"I don't know, but this method is better than distributing the "Self-Defense Guide" to everyone." Lupine took the parchment and carefully read the brief plan on it, "If the plan goes well, it should greatly strengthen everyone's defense. The level of defense against the dark arts."
"It's not easy." Sirius muttered, "If it's free, maybe some people will be willing, but if it's charged, probably not many people will be willing to participate."
"I remember that you guys have tried similar things before?" Lupine didn't pay attention to what Sirius said, and turned to look at Fred and George.
"Yes, at that time we held a meeting of the 'Defense Society' in the Room of Requirement, and there were about dozens of students participating." Fred recalled, "At that time we taught people separately, according to their actual level Teaching the content of defense against the black arts, the effect is very good, and most of the students who participated in the party have significantly improved their defense against the black arts."
"What did you teach?" Sirius asked curiously.
"Stunning Curse, Disarming Curse, Iron Armor Curse and some other relatively simple and commonly used spells." George explained, "I think some wizards have poor defense against black magic, which is entirely because they haven't practiced it. As long as they get preliminary training , their actual level will increase dramatically, maybe their level of defense against black magic is still not high, but at least they have the ability to protect themselves."
"It does sound reasonable. The Defense Against the Dark Arts class at Hogwarts is really useless. Most wizards' Defense Against the Dark Arts level is not much higher after graduation." Even Sirius I have to admit that George made a lot of sense.
"Ahem." Lupine coughed lightly and asked, "Do you think this plan is feasible?"
"Albert thinks Scrimgeour will agree to popularize Defense Against the Dark Arts knowledge." Fred and George exchanged glances quickly.
"The biggest problem with this plan is actually whether you are willing. If you are willing, as long as the whole plan is further improved, it should not be a problem." George added, "I suggest that you first inform Kingsley and Moody to discuss it. "
"I'm here, and I heard some of what you just said." Moody limped into the living room on crutches, took the parchment handed by Lupine, and quickly scanned it. After looking at the contents inside, he took out a water jug from his pocket, poured a mouthful of wine, and muttered: "That guy really dares to think!"
Kingsley with a tired face followed into the living room, took the parchment from Moody, and after carefully reading the contents on it, commented: "I think this plan is good."
"Are you sure you're not joking?"
Moody suddenly turned his head to look at Kingsley, as if wondering if this guy was a fake.
"Of course not, this method is really good, thank you."
Kingsley took the butter beer from Sirius, took a big sip, and explained to the doubtful faces: "First of all, your thinking is wrong."
"Thoughts?"
Kingsley took another sip of butter beer before continuing, "The Defense Against the Dark Arts training institution is popularized in the name of the Ministry of Magic, but the Ministry of Magic actually doesn't pay much, but can get a lot of benefits, Skrein Why doesn't Jay agree?"
"Okay, that's why George said that the biggest problem with this plan is actually whether we want to." Sirius couldn't help curling his lips, "We do things, and the Ministry of Magic gets benefits?"
"It doesn't count, I can only say 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 Curse, your Defense against the Dark Arts items might not be sold."
"I don't know. Anyway, Albert can't let himself suffer. There is no need to worry about that." Fred has great confidence in Albert.
"Are you sure the Ministry of Magic will really agree to such an exaggerated plan?" Moody expressed doubts. He had trained Aurors before and knew the difficulty of teaching a group of people, let alone the whole of Britain. Wizards of the wizarding world.
"Yes, you should have noticed that the Death Eaters have been making trouble for the Ministry of Magic recently, causing everyone to be overwhelmed. I have been working overtime for several days." Kingsley reached out and rubbed his tired cheeks Said, "If everyone has some self-protection capabilities, it can also reduce the pressure on the Ministry of Magic to a certain extent."
"Albert thinks we should cultivate a group of supporters, even if we don't invite them to join the Order of the Phoenix, they can prepare for the final duel in the future." Fred interjected: "He thinks that Harry will eventually meet the mysterious At that time, Harry needs a group of supporters, and we can just take advantage of this opportunity to recruit some wizards who oppose the mysterious man to join us."
"Well, it's like the anti-toad alliance we formed at Hogwarts before." Fred continued, "This alliance exists and does not exist."
"What do you mean?" Lupine asked, raising an eyebrow.
"That means we don't need them to do dangerous things?" George explained, "After all, it is dangerous to directly support Harry in the coming turbulent period, and it is easy to be retaliated, but if By quietly supporting Harry, we will not be easily detected, and we can pass messages to other supporters through hidden radio stations.”
"According to Albert's prediction, we should still have one to two years. Even if it lasts for one hour a week for a year, most people will not be too stretched in Defense Against the Dark Arts. At least in the Defense Association Hogwarts students trained by Harry are better than most in defense against the dark arts.”
"Sounds reasonable." Moody took another sip of wine from the bottle, "but I suspect that things are not that simple. Some things are more troublesome than you expected, especially if there is a fee."
"We can quote a relatively high price, and then we can halve the fee through the Ministry of Magic as before, and everyone will have nothing to complain about." Kingsley is not very worried about these issues. The fee is actually not expensive, as long as the reputation is publicized, there is no need to worry that no one will come to participate.
As far as he knows, the Defense Association that Harry built at Hogwarts was very good, and the employees of the entire Ministry of Magic have poor defense against the Dark Arts, more because no one taught them than everyone's level very bad.
"Well, since you think there is no problem, I can spare some time to help, and I can just recommend our "Defense Letters" to them." Seeing that Kingsley said there was no problem, Sirius then Don't worry about it anymore, after all, it's only once a week, and it's only one or two hours at a time.
As Kingsley expected, the plan passed Scrimgeour's approval faster than expected.
"Once a week, about one year, most wizards can guarantee their personal safety." Kingsley was explaining the plan to Scrimgeour, "In terms of manpower, we can invite some retired Aurors Come back and give them lectures, and the Order of the Phoenix can also send some people."
"The Ministry of Magic can send Aurors, or the crisis response team to be on duty there."
"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." Scrimgeour nodded and said, "When you go out, call Percy for me. Come in."
After a while, Percy Weasley knocked on the office door and walked in~IndoMTL.com~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 will be kept secret for the time being, and I will let Fudge cooperate with you." Scrimgeour reminded: "Don't let Fudge know about this plan."
"Is it really necessary to do this?" Percy asked suspiciously.
"Although I don't know what those dark wizards want to do, you should have noticed that those guys are constantly making trouble for us." Scrimgeour intertwined his fingers and murmured, "I have a hunch that there is a big conspiracy is waiting for us, so we must be prepared.”
"Maybe, we should..."
"I will, but we can't always rely on them." Scrimgeour signaled Percy to leave.
