Daily Life at Hogwarts Chapter 1333: Long term strategy

"Neville, this way..." Dean waved at Neville.

"They say you are here for training!"

Neville stepped forward and gave Dean a big hug.

"Mr. Thomas, Mr. Longbottom is counting on you." Dobby waited for the two to say hello before bowing slightly to them and preparing to leave.

"Thank you Dobby, leave him to me." Dean almost patted his chest to promise.

After the house elf left, Neville began to look around, "Is this really the headquarters of the Defense Association?"

"Otherwise, where do you think such strict protection is needed?" Dean seemed to have seen through Neville's thoughts, and explained with a smile, "This village is actually an outskirt, used for our activities. Important places are protected by the Fidelity Curse, so it's normal for you to not be able to see."

"The Charm of Loyalty?"

Neville had heard the spell from Hannah, and was surprised that under such strict protection, there was another layer of protection.

"Mr. Thomas, have you told Mr. Longbottom a few things that you need to pay special attention to when staying here?

A gentle voice suddenly sounded beside the two of them, and Shanna appeared out of nowhere at some point.

"I was just going to tell him about it." Dean stretched out his hand and scratched his head embarrassingly.

"What's the matter?" Neville was a little confused.

"Come with me, please, there are some regulations to follow." Shanna led Neville into the house protected by the Fidelity Curse

"Can I join the Defense Association now?" Neville asked in a low voice.

"Of course, the premise is that you are an adult."

Sanna led Neville to the office to go through the formalities of joining the Defense Association, while Dean waited outside for about ten minutes before seeing Neville who looked very excited again.

Neville stuffed his pocket watch into his pocket, and sighed softly, "I should have dropped out of school in the first place and came here to receive training."

"This place is actually quite boring." Dean said insincerely, "Every day is basically training besides training."

"Do you know how many people envy you guys to receive formal training here?" Neville suppressed the urge to hit someone, and said to Dean, "Take me around."

"The house here has been abandoned, and most of the people who stay in the headquarters temporarily live in tents,

Of course, you can also spend some time repairing those broken houses. Dean pointed to the restored old houses and said, "But there is no need to waste time. The food will be provided by the house elf Dobby and others. "

"But why is there no one here?" Neville asked his own question.

"Everyone should be training." Dean greeted with a smile, "I will take you to the training ground, and you will know why."

"This..."

Looking at the sloping downward entrance, Neville looked at Dean with some puzzlement and asked, "I thought..."

"Ordinary Death Eaters can't break through the protective magic on the outside at all, and they don't even know where this abandoned village is." Dean introduced some of the information he got here to Neville, "Of course, we didn't actually People know where it is.”

"Once the village is really breached by the mysterious person, the two safe houses protected by the Fidelity Curse will be our last refuge."

Through a somewhat dark passage, they came to a hall the size of a Quidditch pitch. Fred and George were organizing everyone to practice a duel. Although they were only using some conventional spells, the scene was extremely fierce and impressive. passionate.

"Would you like to try it?" Dean asked with a smile.

"With you?" Neville asked.

"Yes."

"Okay."

Neville agreed.

So, a minute later.

Neville, who was hit in the chest by the Obstructing Curse, fell heavily to the ground.

"Are you okay."

"No wonder Cedric always said to lay a solid foundation."

Neville stretched out his hand to hold Dean's extended arm a little depressed, "It's great to be able to receive training from Mr. Anderson in person."

"No, there is no such a good thing. Mr. Anderson has his own affairs to be busy, and he is also the secret keeper here. Usually, he only appears at important gatherings. Most of the time we have to train by ourselves." Dean grinned Recalling the recent changes, he sighed softly, "However, the atmosphere here is really good. Everyone will share their combat experience with each other, and there is plenty of time to practice duels every day. You will know when you stay here for a while. Already."

"That's about the same as the school's DA party, but why is the gap so big?" Neville was still a little concerned about being easily defeated by Dean.

"It's different, the school can only be regarded as children's play."

Dean pointed to the few people who were practicing next to him and said, "This is the most basic combat training. As long as you complete the basic training, most ordinary wizards will no longer be your opponents."

"Well, many Death Eaters are actually included in ordinary wizards, so wizards who have completed basic training are much better than most dark wizards." Dean added, "You should have heard of the former For a while, they used dementors and dark wizards to practice opponents."

"If I had that kind of power, I would definitely be able to drive Snape out of school." Neville couldn't help clenching his fists, still very concerned about this matter.

"How about Hogwarts?"

Dean felt that Neville seemed to have misunderstood something, so he changed the topic so as not to offend the other party.

"Not too good. Those Death Eaters like to use Veritaserum to make trouble for everyone. I originally planned to stay in the Room of Requirement and pretend to be missing." Neville and Dean stood by and looked at the others During sparring, he was very envious of their ability to fluently use all kinds of magic to attack. Everyone in the training room seemed to be much stronger than him.

"That's impossible." Knowing what Neville wanted to do, Dean sighed and reminded, "Unless you defeat the mysterious man, it's useless to drive Snape away, they will come back. "

"Mr. Anderson can't help it either?" Neville asked a stupid question.

"Unless we start a war with the mysterious person in advance, but that doesn't make any sense." Dean said in a low voice, "At present, we are still secretly accumulating strength, waiting for the day when we will start a full-scale war with the mysterious person. There are many, and everyone is getting stronger and stronger, so don't worry, wait slowly for the final decisive battle opportunity brought by Harry."

"Actually, I just wanted to ask. It seems that here are all students who graduated from Hogwarts not long ago." When Neville first entered the training room, he found that the members of the association were extremely young.

"I've asked a similar question before."

Dean smiled and explained to Neville with an expression that you are really curious, "They said that other members have more thoughts, many of them don't have the courage to stand up to the mysterious person, and some of them are younger Older adults will join the Order of the Phoenix. You know, they generally have good combat power and don't need to be trained here.

"Can we also join the Order of the Phoenix?" Neville knew that Harry joined the Order of the Phoenix, and he also heard from his grandmother that his parents also joined the Order of the Phoenix.

"Of course, but I don't think it's meaningful, because the two parties have been cooperating, Fred and George are the connectors, and a lot of information is exchanged." Dean reached out and patted Neville's shoulder, indicating He follows.

The two are going to fight Lee Jordan together.

Such sparring can provide valuable melee experience for all three parties.

Amidst the shouts of the crowd, the duel between the three began.

Dean and Neville did not have the advantage in numbers, especially after seeing that his spell was actually blocked by the Defense Against the Dark Arts props, Neville's face was stunned for a moment, and then he was blocked. The curse was knocked out, and the remaining Dean was soon brought down.

"Don't be distracted while fighting." Dean reminded a little depressed.

"Isn't he cheating?" Neville muttered.

"It doesn't count, we are all fighting, who cares if you cheat or not." Dean shook his head vigorously and said, "We just need to defeat him without using black magic."

"Dark Arts are also taught here?" Neville was very surprised.

"Teach, but not much, because most black magic requires powerful magic power to support, which may not be easy to use in a duel." Dean explained, "And we pay more attention to practice, and we are more open Fall, subdue the enemy."

"Remember, once most wizards lose their wands, they basically have no ability to resist." Dean reminded, "So after you defeat the enemy, remember to use the Flying Curse to disarm the opponent's wand. This is better than killing the opponent directly." They want easy."

"Have you killed many dark wizards?" Neville couldn't help but widen his eyes.

"I don't know, I'm not strong enough to go out with everyone." Speaking of this, Dean looked a little depressed, "I heard that they are planning the next operation, but unfortunately I am not qualified yet Participate."

"Sounds interesting."

Neville was interested in the Defense Society's actions against the Death Eaters.

"There are more interesting things. It's a pity that you came at an untimely time, otherwise you can experience the Imperius Curse training."

"What's that?"

Neville suspected he had heard wrong.

"It's the training to resist the Imperius Curse. Mr. Anderson will use the Imperius Curse on us, and we only need to resist the control of the Imperius Curse to qualify. Unfortunately, no one has successfully resisted it yet."

"Just like the fake Mad-Eye did when we were in fourth grade?"

Neville recalled that in the fourth grade, the fake Moody had trained in class to resist the Imperius Curse, and only Harry successfully resisted it.

"Yes, it's very difficult, but as long as you resist, you won't be easily controlled by the Imperius Curse in the future. Everyone says that such an opportunity is rare, because both the mysterious man and the Death Eaters like to use the Imperius Curse to control Other wizards."

Dean had also participated in training against the Imperius Curse, for which he crawled around the ground several times like a dog.

"Didn't you practice privately?" Neville couldn't help asking.

"No, when practicing black magic, Mr. Anderson will be present in person to prevent any accidents during the period." Dean explained, "The similar training is about twice a week, and the next time is likely to be Friday."

"I may not be able to participate." Neville looked a little regretful.

"Why?"

"I need to go back to Hogwarts with Cedric and keep Dumbledore's Army going." More than anything else, Gwartz's students had the courage to stand up against You-Know-Who and Death Eaters.

"It seems that you have your own tasks just like us." After hearing Neville's words, Dean seemed to be in a good mood.

"What is your mission?"

"Responsible for the management of the shelter." Dean said, "In two days, Justin and I need to replace Hannah and Susan, help watch the group of expelled students, and teach them Defense Against the Dark Arts. "

"It's okay over there, I stayed there for a day before I came here."

"Okay?" Dean had a strange expression.

"Is there a problem?" Neville asked puzzled.

"It was a mess at first, but thanks to Hannah, everyone was integrated into Dumbledore's Army." Justin reached out and patted Neville's shoulder lightly, "I thought you were at Hogwarts."

"I dropped out of school." Neville shrugged.

"He just disappeared temporarily." Dean corrected.

"How is Hogwarts now?" Justin was a little curious about what Hogwarts managed by the Death Eaters looked like.

"Not so good."

Neville repeated what he had just said to Dean, and was shocked when he heard that Defense Against the Dark Arts had been changed to Dark Arts, and students in confinement were used to practice the Cruciatus Curse.

"Okay, it's almost time." Dean took out his pocket watch to check the time, and took Neville to the living room for dinner.

"The food here is much better than in the shelter." Neville looked at the house elf who was serving food for people, and was a little surprised at the types of food here.

"Of course, if you like, there is also a simple afternoon tea."

The three of them made a meal each, sat at the long table to enjoy, and chatted about what happened during this time.

"By the way, do you have any news about Harry?" Neville asked curiously.

"Harry, I heard from Fred and George that Harry is also undergoing training recently, saying that he is practicing a very powerful spell with Professor Moody."

Speaking of this matter, Justin is very envious. It's a pity that they are still in the foundation stage, and the spells they learn are all simple and practical.

If you want to learn more complex spells, you need to complete basic training, but if you want to complete the most basic training, it will take at least a year at the earliest.

"He should be preparing for the duel with the No-Nosed Monster!" Neville speculated, "It seems that the time for the two sides to officially start a war is not far away."

"No nose monster?"

Both Dean and Justin were stunned, and it took a moment to realize what Neville was talking about.

"That guy really has no nose." Cedric sat down next to the two of them and reminded him kindly, "You can't call him by his first name directly here."

"I know ~IndoMTL.com~ said Neville.

"Follow me these few days, and I will help you with emergency special training." Cedric continued, "Next, you need to follow me to run back and forth on both sides. The main focus is still on Hogwarts, Abel I really hope that someone can guide the students to continue to have the courage to resist the mysterious person."

"I know." Neville asked his doubts, "Why does Anderson value the students in the school more?"

"Because many adults are unreliable." Cedric's expression was very complicated, "Like the Aurors of the Ministry of Magic, they were supposed to stand with us against the mysterious man, but they chose to bow their heads to the mysterious man , become his minion."

Speaking of this matter, the three of them were very angry about it, especially after knowing that Scrimgeour was killed by a mysterious man in order to protect the Aurors, they suddenly understood why Albert chose a young wizard.

"If this wizarding war continues, those members of Dumbledore's Army who graduated from Hogwarts will become our most reliable partners." Cedric explained, "So I hope you can join us in this matter." Spend more time on the table."

"Leave it to me!" Neville assured, patting his chest.
