Daily Life at Hogwarts Chapter 558: Hagrid’s gift
Chapter 559 Hagrid's Gift
Hermione is an activist, and soon established the Defense Against the Dark Arts club.
Although Albert doesn't know exactly how she persuaded Harry Potter, Hermione did manage to invite Harry and Ron into the club.
The only problem is that they don't have a place to practice magic.
It is naturally impossible for Albert to tell them the secret of the Room of Requirement. After all, it has always been the place where he and Isobel dated. Once many people know of the existence of the Room of Requirement, they will not be able to use it well for dating in the future. .
Hermione had thought about asking Albert to teach everyone, and doing so would surely attract a large number of students to the club. Unfortunately, Albert did not intend to be so ostentatious for the time being, and doing so was not in line with the original purpose, so he simply refused.
However, to show her support for Hermione, Albert introduced Hermione to several useful Defence Against the Dark Arts books, and encouraged her to consult Professor Lockhart if she didn't understand.
Actually, Albert had already guessed what Hermione was thinking. First, increase the number of people in the club, and then invite Professor Lockhart to teach them, so that Harry would not resist.
In just a few days, the number of members in the club has grown to five, and there is a trend of further expansion.
At this moment, the five people led by Hermione were sitting not far from Albert, discussing the obstacle spell they were practicing recently.
Here's Albert's advice to Hermione, the Obstruction Charm is a useful spell, and the way to practice it is simple: throw a ball of paper at the opponent, then use the spell to stop the ball in the air.
The obstacle spell is still a bit difficult for young wizards who are new to magic, but they enjoy it, even though Ginny and Colin didn't join the club to learn Defence Against the Dark Arts at first, but they are now Talking about training is also very exciting.
"I think you can form a Defense Against the Dark Arts club," Fred retracted his gaze from Harry and suggested to Albert, who was flipping through the Daily Prophet next to him: "Since Lockhart We've learned very little that's useful since Professor Te came to teach Defence Against the Dark Arts."
"If you're willing to teach everyone, I'm sure many will be willing to..."
"I don't want to. You know, I don't have that much time and energy," interrupted Albert dryly, "I have twelve classes a week and a whole bunch of families. Homework, and taking time to join several professors’ clubs, I really don’t have time.”
"I'm getting tired of hearing those excuses every time you use them." George disagreed, knowing that Albert could find time if he wanted to. After all, this guy knows what he calls a "Clone Curse", although they still haven't figured out how Albert did it.
"It's not an excuse, it's just the way it is. I'm really busy." Albert turned the newspaper to the second page, and was considering only a weekly newspaper in the future. Messy mess.
"Don't think I don't know, you're busy dating every day." Fred couldn't help rolling his eyes at Albert.
"I heard that Dumbledore booked a skeleton dance troupe for this year's Halloween dinner." Lee Jordan came over and told a few roommates about the good news he had just heard.
"Is the Skeleton Dance Company famous?" Albert asked, closing the newspaper.
"Of course it's famous, but you don't know?"
Several people looked at Albert with incredible eyes, as if they were looking at some rare animal.
“The Skull Dance Company will definitely surprise you,” Lee Jordan said excitedly. “Tickets for the Skull Dance Company have always been hard to come by, and they’re super expensive. It’s amazing that the principal can invite them to perform at the school. people look forward to it."
"I'll look forward to it a little bit." Albert said casually
"Are you really going to stop thinking about my proposal just now?" Fred still didn't give up, he thought the idea of Hermione's Defense Against the Dark Arts club was a good idea.
People should learn to save themselves.
"As if I don't have to do my homework."
Albert suddenly raised his head and looked at the owl flying towards him. A package was thrown in front of him with a letter on it.
However, what caught a few people's attention the most was the fact that the package shuddered.
"What's this?"
Several people were apparently taken aback by the odd package.
George raised his hand and poked the package, lowered his voice and said, "Is it possible that someone else sent you something strange?"
"There is a letter on it," reminded Lee Jordan. He took the letter out of the package and glanced at the sender's name. "Hagrid sent it to you."
With that, he handed the letter to Albert.
Albert glanced at the uneven handwriting on it, and took out the letter.
"Can we open the package?"
Fred was really curious about what was in the package, so he asked Albert's opinion, he felt that Albert probably wouldn't open such a weird package by himself.
"Take it apart!" Albert did not object. "Hagrid shouldn't send anything dangerous."
"Hagrid seems to have a different view of danger than ordinary people."
Albert added mentally.
He knew that Hagrid had been friends with the eight-eyed giant spider, had bought a Greek three-headed dog at the Pig's Head Bar, and had secretly raised a dragon illegally at home.
Albert, however, wasn't too worried about Hagrid sending him anything dangerous, not to mention that he wasn't the one opening the package.
He begins to read Hagrid's letter, which says two things:
Professor Wilmina Grapland seems to have other magical creatures to care for and will not be able to hold a long-term position as Professor of Conservation of Magical Creatures at Hogwarts.
The suspicious item in the package is "The Monster Book of Monsters", which is Hagrid's chosen textbook, and I hope Albert can give him some advice.
Last remarks:
Be careful, it will bite.
Stroking the spine will calm it down.
"What is this, **** it, it bites. It hurts, help me get it off."
A frantic voice sounded from the side. When Albert looked sideways, he found that Fred had been bitten by the palm of "The Monster Book of Monsters" and was shaking it hard, trying to remove the book from his hand. Throw it down.
After George and Lee Jordan reacted, they hurriedly stepped forward to help Fred pull the book from his hand. The book fell to the ground and immediately ran under the table like some kind of crab.
"What the **** did Hagrid send you." Fred complained to Albert while checking the injury on the back of his hand, "Who the **** said this thing wasn't dangerous?"
Albert ignored Fred's complaining gaze, took out his wand and waved it, floating the book, and then conjured a rope out of thin air to bind it firmly.
"Okay, it's safe now." Albert threw the book on the table, and although the thing still shivered occasionally, it was obviously no longer able to bite.
"Why did Hagrid send you this?" George asked curiously. "It looks like a mad dog."
"It's called The Monster Book of Monsters. Well, you heard that right, it's a book."
"You're sure this thing is a book, I think it looks like some kind of dangerous magical beast." Fred bit the word dangerous very hard.
"You'd better go to Madam Pomfrey to treat the wound, so as not to leave a scar." While speaking, Albert reached out and stroked the spine of the book lightly, and "The Monster Book of Monsters" immediately became very safe. point.
"Unfortunate, why didn't you tell me earlier that you had a way to subdue him," Fred complained incessantly.
"Hagrid wrote it in the letter." Albert tucked the book into his backpack. "Come on, go to Madam Pomfrey, I don't think you want a scar."
All three understood Albert's words, and they all accompanied Fred to the school hospital.
On the way, Albert told them about Hagrid's plan to apply to be a professor of the protection of magical creatures~IndoMTL.com~ Oh my god, don't tell me, that thing in your hand is Hagrid's chosen textbook. "
The three of them were all over the place all at once.
Professor Ketelber's illness has long since spread in the school, and Professor Graplan has temporarily taken over from the Conservation of Magical Creatures class.
"I thought Professor Glapland would take Professor Kettleb's place." Fred had a hard time imagining what would happen after Hagrid took over the Conservation of Magical Creatures class.
Albert understands the feelings of the three, but they won't be the only ones disappointed. Many people think that Professor Graplan will succeed Professor Ketelber.
"Anyway, next year is the last year." Albert didn't care much about it. He also doesn't plan to pursue a course in the conservation of magical creatures.
In fact, Albert even planned to give up Muggle studies, divination, history of magic, and astronomy in sixth grade.
