Daily Life at Hogwarts Chapter 1332: Ms. Anderson
"Procrastination is never a good habit."
In the foyer, Moody rolled his magic eyes to stare at Ron, expressing his displeasure at his procrastination.
"Isn't Albert teaching us the Fiercefire Curse today?"
Ron took out his pocket watch from the inner pocket of the cloak to look at the time, and muttered, "Besides, there are still ten minutes before the time agreed upon by both parties. That guy is always on time. Why should we go there early?"
"Of course it's to go in advance to make sure the surroundings are safe." Moody seemed to hear Ron's complaints, and suddenly asked, "I remember you want to be an Auror in the future."
Ron pursed his lips and stopped talking.
In fact, he really wanted to remind Moody that they had already dropped out of school and could not meet the Auror recruitment threshold in terms of grades, but he felt that such an argument was meaningless, so he chose to shut up and back down.
"There are no Death Eaters around. It seems that those guys finally stopped wasting time." After Sirius and Lupine came back, they told everyone about the situation outside. Very happy to get out.
No one likes to be watched all day, even if the guys who watch them can only wait outside.
"I think it's because it's raining heavily outside, no one would stay outside and get wet in the rain."
Ron put on his hood and followed Harry into the rain ahead.
The six of them quickly formed a circle holding hands, and apparated away under the heavy rain.
When everyone regained their vision and came to the stronghold where they used to practice the Fierce Fire Curse, they found that it was still raining here.
It's just that the rain is not as strong as that of the shelter.
The sudden group of people did not care about the rain above their heads, but held up their wands and looked around vigilantly. After confirming that the surroundings were safe, Moody took out his pocket watch and checked the time: "The agreed time is about There are still five minutes, check the surrounding defensive magic first."
Sirius and Lupine left the crowd to check the protective magic around them, to make sure that no one would disturb them when Harry practiced the Fiercefire Curse later.
Moody waved his wand and conjured a huge umbrella out of thin air, so everyone had a place to shelter from the wind and rain, it was really stupid to stand in the wilderness and get caught in the rain.
"I hate the rain."
Ron put down his hood and turned to look at Harry. He actually thought it would be more appropriate for this kind of ghost to practice magic at the headquarters, and he didn't necessarily have to practice the Fiercefire Curse.
"I heard that Neville is in trouble at the school."
Harry took off his glasses and cast the fire and water charm on the lenses, then chatted about what he had heard from Fred and George recently.
"Don't worry, Neville will be fine." Hermione comforted her.
"No, you know I didn't mean to say that."
Of course Harry wasn't worried about Neville's safety. Since Albert asked Neville to go to school to form Dumbledore's Army, there must be a way to ensure his safety.
But once Neville left Hogwarts, the newly formed Dumbledore's Army would probably disband immediately, which was the result Harry didn't want to see.
"Here he comes!" said Ron suddenly.
Harry and Hermione looked up together, looked in the direction of Ron's finger, and found a figure in a cloak and an umbrella coming towards them.
"I thought you would arrive on time."
Harry put away his pocket watch and stepped forward to shake hands with Albert.
"I've never been here before." Albert explained.
"Didn't you meet Sirius and Lupine?" Moody asked vigilantly. Sirius and Lupine went out to strengthen the defensive magic, and they actually meant to find Albert.
"Lupine and Sirius are strengthening the protective magic on the periphery." Albert put away his umbrella, looked at Harry and asked, "How is your practice of Fiercefire Curse?"
"The Fiercefire Curse is really hard to control, as long as you use the flames, you will lose control very quickly." Harry looked at Albert expectantly, "Do you have any good solutions there?"
"What about you?"
Albert was not surprised by Harry's answer, and turned to ask about the progress of Hermione and Ron's practice of breaking the curse.
"There has been some progress."
"Reluctantly, we haven't been able to extinguish Fiendfire yet." Hermione mastered the solution faster than Ron.
"It's normal. Your own magical power has not been fully tapped. If you want to become stronger, you should work harder in this area." Albert stopped talking nonsense and waved Wand, after making the big umbrellas above everyone's heads disappear, he signaled Harry to use the Fiercefire Curse on the nearby fire pit. He needed to find out the learning progress of the three of them first.
Harry took a deep breath and began to concentrate on chanting the spell.
Black magic flames spewed from the tip of the wand, igniting the firepit all at once. Although Harry had been trying his best to control the flames, the result was still the same as before, and the Fiercefire Curse was out of control within a few seconds.
Moody just raised his magic wand to suppress the devil flame, but someone was faster than him. Just as the turbulent magic flame was about to show its power, it was suppressed by Albert gently waving his magic wand, leaving only A flame as big as a fist.
"Generally speaking, as long as Fiendfire gets out of the wand, the difficulty of continuing to control it will increase greatly. Moreover, once the opponent is facing an extraordinary black wizard who has studied Fiendfire in depth, it is easy to be seized control." Albert said calmly Said: "Well, you are not mistaken, I am talking about the mysterious person."
The whole group is stupid.
"Most people who use the Fiendfire Curse will not let it go. They usually extinguish it quickly after use to prevent the Fiendfire from spreading and getting out of control."
While Albert was speaking, the devil flame in the firepit was extinguished.
"We're teaching Harry the Fiendfliner wrong?" Moody couldn't help but interjected.
"The exercise method you use is safer, but I have a quick way here." Albert waved his wand, conjured a log out of thin air, threw it behind the firepit, and said to the somewhat dazed Harry .
"Thinking about burning that piece of wood in my heart." Albert pointed to the log and said to Harry.
"Does it make any difference?" Harry was even more confused.
"You should have heard that the use of black magic requires evil power, which is why the more evil a dark wizard is, the better at using black magic." Albert said suddenly.
After Harry raised his hand to stop the others, he couldn't help asking: "Do you think I can't master the Fiercefire Curse because I'm not evil enough?"
"Of course... no. In fact, this sentence is only half correct." Albert explained to everyone, "The more evil the wizard is, the more unscrupulous they are in using black magic, and the more they can use black magic. Unleash your potential magical power."
"When wizards are afraid of using the Unforgivable Curse to kill people, its spells are usually difficult to kill people directly. Because people themselves will subconsciously control their own magical power, just like people are afraid of pain, so they punch When you are on a stone, you will not exert your full strength."
"No one is stupid enough to throw a fist at a rock."
After being glanced at by Albert, Ron shut up obediently.
"Think about the out-of-control magic caused by anger, and think that many spells can be used smoothly after using Felicity Elixir. In fact, they are all similar reasons."
"And your situation is actually similar to this. You are worried that the Fiendfyre Curse will get out of control. This kind of anxiety prevents you from being able to perform at your normal level, and even causes you to make no progress with the Fiendfyre Curse." Ai Bo Te can easily see through Harry's current problem: "Of course, the training method you used before is safer, but it takes more time to enhance your own magical power and control over magic."
"What should I do?" Harry asked directly.
"I'm standing here now, you don't need to worry about any problems, first take a deep breath, calm down your emotions, and then try to use the Fierce Fire Curse on that log." Albert guided with a calm tone Harry, "You don't need to worry about any problems, just stare at that log and burn and cast Diefort on it."
Harry took a deep breath, raised his wand and pointed at the log and chanted aloud, the flame flew out from the tip of the wand again, like a flame gun, directly igniting the log.
"Don't worry, mobilize your consciousness, concentrate your attention, control the devil's flames to engulf the wood, and don't let the flames scatter randomly." Albert continued to give guidance in a calm voice.
The next moment, the wood was surrounded by black flames, and quickly turned into a black fire pillar, but the flames unexpectedly did not spread to the surroundings.
"Success!"
When Harry's mood fluctuated violently, the devil flame that had been under control immediately lost control.
"Yes, you made it."
Albert waved his wand, suppressing the churning black flames again, and cut off the connection between the tip of Harry's wand and the devil's flames.
"You guys have a try too!" Albert said to Hermione and Ron, who were watching nervously, "Try to extinguish the flames of the devil, you come first."
Ron pointed at the suppressed black flame with his wand, and chanted the curse aloud.
However, the black flame fluctuated slightly, and there was no other reflection, as if a gust of wind had just blown by.
On the contrary, it was Hermione who succeeded in breaking the curse and extinguished the devil's flame.
"If you want to help Harry, you need to spend more time on breaking the curse." Albert said to Ron sideways, "It's not bad for you at all."
"I will." Ron's face was ugly.
Albert didn't have time to pay attention to Ron's mood, and waved his wand to recreate a big umbrella for everyone to shelter from the rain above their heads.
"This..."
When Harry was stuffed with a cup of hot cocoa, he became a little confused.
Didn't you say you were going to practice the Fierce Fire Curse? Why did you suddenly start to rest?
Albert took a sip of hot cocoa, smiled and said to Harry: "Think carefully about the experience just now, take a break and we will continue training later."
"Start rest now?" Harry was even more confused.
"Combining work and rest, being too anxious can easily lead to mistakes. You need to concentrate on effective special training, at least until you have fully mastered the Fiercefire Curse." Albert waved his wand, and once again conjured up a few chairs for them to sit on. Rest, "Listen to me first to briefly explain the information and usage of the Fiercefire Curse, which will be of great help to you in using this dangerous black magic."
They were all confused by Albert, but they still sat down and listened to him explain the Diemerblaze Curse.
From how the dark wizard who used the Fiercefire Curse for the first time burned himself to death, to how dark wizards usually use the Fiercefire Curse, to how powerful wizards use this spell in actual combat.
"Harry, I think..."
Sirius hesitated to speak, and after listening to Albert, he really wanted to persuade Harry to give up learning this dangerous spell.
At least, after listening to Albert's explanation of the Fiercefire Curse, he also realized how dangerous this spell is.
Harry shook his head, signaling Sirius to stop talking.
He learned Fiercefire not for fighting, but to ensure that he was safe when destroying the Hufflepuff Gold Cup. In case they worked so hard to break into the Strange family's vault but couldn't find the golden cup among all the treasures, they would just burn the contents of the vault with a torch.
Harry will never allow the plan to fail, and must not fail.
Once Voldemort knew that they were after the Horcrux, he would definitely hide the Horcrux again, and then they would have no chance.
"You can consider becoming a professor at Hogwarts in the future, I think you will be very popular."
Honestly, Moody is a bit on his own right now. He also taught Harry the Fiercefire Curse for a long time, but after more than a month, Harry hadn't made much progress.
"I don't have that consideration for the time being. I also have a lot of things to be busy with." Albert waved his wand, and after disappearing the cup after drinking, he listened to the sound of the rain around him, and asked a little puzzledly: "If you don't Wouldn't it be better to choose a sunny place and stay at the headquarters of the Order of the Phoenix to train other magic?"
"Sometimes if you continue to practice, you can master the spell faster."
Moody took out a wine bottle from the inner pocket of the cloak, took a sip and said, "Besides, this weather is nothing, just like you guys are training Quidditch at school, in the near future, they will definitely You will encounter various difficulties.”
"Are you using the Auror training method?"
Albert doesn't think there's anything wrong with using a formal method. The problem is that Harry is still in the stage of learning magic and hasn't fully grown up. Starting Auror training now is bound to take a long time to make up for the shortcomings.
"You don't seem to agree."
"Everyone has their own training method, the most important thing is the one that suits them." Albert said noncommittally, although he did not agree with Moody's training method, but he would not deliberately deny the other party .
That is undoubtedly a very stupid thing to do.
"Have you heard about Hogsmeade?" Lupine changed the subject.
"I heard that the Death Eaters plan to turn it into a gathering place for dark wizards." Of course Albert knew very well what happened to Hogsmeade. Not only did house elves often report the situation to him, but he himself even Been there myself.
"What are you talking about?" interrupted Hermione after finishing her hot cocoa.
"About Hogsmeade, I heard that it has become the lair of dark wizards." Albert explained with a smile, "Hogwarts students may not be able to go to Hogsmeade for the weekend."
"Do you know about Neville?" Harry asked suddenly, "I heard he was in some trouble."
"They were too noisy a while ago."
"Rowling?"
Harry felt that Neville would be extremely depressed if he heard Albert's evaluation.
"I have asked Dobby to take in Neville. He will stay in the shelter for a while before receiving formal training." Of course Albert is aware of Neville's situation and has already made suitable arrangements for him .
"What are your plans?" Harry asked again.
"Not yet."
"I heard that after those Death Eaters took control of the school, they would even use those children in confinement as candidates for practicing the Cruciatus Curse." Ron also supported the expulsion of Snape and the Death Eaters.
"They are Death Eaters, so it's not surprising that they would do anything." Albert laughed at himself, "What are you expecting? It's probably the greatest kindness for them not to kill those children."
"No, you obviously don't know enough to use students to practice the Cruciatus Curse." Moody's eyes flashed dangerously: "Albert was right, 'They didn't kill those Children are probably the greatest kindness.'
You probably don't know that a large number of Muggles have been mercilessly massacred recently~IndoMTL.com~How many wizards have been threatened and killed for opposing the Death Eaters. "
"This war is more cruel than it was ten years ago." Sirius frowned, "You need to adapt to this cruel war as soon as possible."
"There is no other way." Albert's tone was very calm, "Since Dumbledore's death, the situation has been completely out of control, and, from the very beginning, he pinned his hopes on Harry himself Just stupid."
"Don't you think Harry's going to win too?" Ron retorted.
"Yes, but who knows how long a war will last?" Albert said meaningfully, "One year, two years, or even longer, don't forget that the last wizard war lasted ten years. A few years."
"I remember you saying it was short," said Harry.
"Yes, but the future is uncertain. Unless you work hard to make the prophecy a closed loop, the predicted result will happen." Albert clapped his hands and said, "Okay, now that you have rested, Then keep practicing!"
