Daily Life at Hogwarts Chapter 765: Hogwarts cram school

  Chapter 766 Hogwarts Tutorial

   Several people appeared in a remote corridor on the seventh floor of the castle to check the location of the secret passage that Fred mentioned last time.

  "The entrance is here."

   The four stopped in front of a portrait of a middle-aged wizard. After Albert determined that there was no one around on the map, Fred immediately stepped forward and said the password to the portrait: "Sneak."

   The wizard in the portrait raised his thumb to his lips, made a shush gesture towards several people, and then turned to open the frame to reveal the secret passage hidden inside.

  The entrance is very secret. It is hidden behind Edgar Stroug's portrait. A special password is required to open the secret passage, which fully meets Albert's requirements.

   "This password looks like what we're doing now." Lee Jordan teased.

  "You talk too much."

   All three looked at Albert, waiting for his further action.

  Albert put a heavy book in his backpack on the ground, took out his wand from his pocket, and tapped the front of the book three times.

   The book suddenly unfolded, and a door slowly rose in front of everyone, just embedded in the passage, as if there was really a secret room here.

   "Cool, when did you make this?" Lee Jordan reached out and knocked on the door in front of him. No one else could guess that it was a book.

  "This is just an experiment, similar to a wizard's tent." Albert said simply, "I call this a fairy tale house."

   Several people couldn't wait to push the door open, and what was in front of them...darkness.

   "Close your eyes, I'm going to light up." After reminding Albert, he raised his wand and released a few **** of light. The whole room instantly lit up, and the space inside the door was much larger than the classroom.

   "The Traceless Stretching Spell can always bring us unexpected surprises." George lamented that when they were at home, they also used the Traceless Stretching Spell to expand the space for the development of joke props.

  "It's empty." Fred said, looking around. "We have to move something in there."

  "It's already been prepared, everything is here."

   Lee Jordan smiled and put down the box in his hand, which contained the items they had transferred from the Room of Requirement a while ago.

  "When?"

  "When you were doing Quidditch training."

  Albert took out his pocket watch from his pocket, glanced at the time on it, turned his head and said to George, "Please wait outside for the others, so that they don't know how to get in."

   "No problem, leave it to me!" George took the map handed over by Albert and asked in confusion, "Why not make the map more detailed?"

   "It's enough to be able to use it. It takes a lot of time to make it like a Marauder's Map." Albert motioned for Fred and Lee Jordan to come and help arrange the scene.

   The room soon had a whole lot of upholstered, a blackboard and armchairs, plus a few magic dolls for the students to practice their magic.

   "I think everyone will be surprised." Fred arranged the armchair in an arc around the blackboard.

  "This is really nice, George said this is your secret base?"

As soon as Shanna walked into the room, she immediately looked around and complained to Albert, "You should have told me earlier, I was worried that I would not be able to find a suitable meeting place."

  "After all, this is our secret base." Lee Jordan said with a smile, "We didn't want other people to know about it, and then we decided to use it as a gathering place."

   "I didn't expect such a place in the school." Angelina sighed softly.

   "There are a lot of secrets hidden in Hogwarts school. As long as you dig, you can always find some unexpected surprises." Fred blinked, "There are actually other secrets in this secret room. Secret."

   "What secret?" Angelina was also curious.

  "This room will only appear at a certain time."

  "Liar."

  "You'll find out later."

  "A specific time?"

   "What kind of magic are you going to teach us today?" Arya walked to the magic doll, fiddled with the fake wand in the doll's hand, turned her head and asked Albert who was setting up the scene, "By the way, where did you guys come from? Did you get this thing?"

   "This is a teaching tool for a certain Defence Against the Dark Arts professor." Albert paused and continued, "After the professor left, things were thrown into the Hogwarts storage room. When I found the storage room, I found these magic dolls, which can be used for practicing magic."

   "Storage room? Do you mean dungeon?" The girls were surprised, they had never heard of such a place at Hogwarts Castle.

  "No."

   "Actually, I think it's more appropriate to call it a junkyard. Most of the things that are not used at Hogwarts are thrown there." Lee Jordan said, "There are so many things over there, many of which are unusable. ."

  "Actually, I'm more curious what that is?"

   After Cedric greeted Albert, he looked up at the luminous object hanging in the air. There were several similar objects in the room, providing sufficient light source for the whole room.

   "A magic prop that can be used to provide lighting, you can call it: a magic lamp." Albert introduced.

  Cedric seemed to have guessed something, looked at Albert in shock, and said with admiration, "I think this is a great invention."

  George closed the door of the room at the back and said to Albert, "Everyone is almost there, it's time to start."

  Albert counted the number of students. There were about a dozen students. In addition to the fifth graders of Gryffindor, there were also some fifth graders from Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff, but the number was very large. Few, most of them were acquaintances Albert knew.

   "Okay, take a seat!" Albert motioned for everyone to sit down.

   "Aren't you going to teach us magic?" A Hufflepuff boy beside Cedric found that Albert seemed to be planning to give them a lecture, so he couldn't help asking.

   "Alger, we are here to meet more to get better results in the Defense Against the Dark Arts exam." Cedric gave his friend a look, indicating that he should not interrupt and waste other things. people's precious time.

   "What I'm going to talk about tonight is the focus of the exam." Albert looked around the crowd and suddenly had the illusion that he had become a professor. He continued, "Of course, Professor Lupin may talk about what he thinks is important in the class, but that doesn't prevent you from listening to me first, just to strengthen your memory."

   "Why don't you just practice it?" asked the famous Ravenclaw girl, raising her hand.

   "The Defence Against the Dark Arts exam is not only practical, but also written. Well, don't interrupt me, we'd better hurry up." Albert ignored her and continued, "According to what I have collected The test papers of the past dynasties have basically not changed much in the content of the ordinary wizard level exams..."

  Albert shared his understanding of the general wizard rank exam and what he thought was mandatory after reading the exam paper.

   The so-called key points of the test are not boring. After Albert finished speaking, he would always come up with the corresponding test questions, and everyone could not help but listen to his key points without distracting thoughts.

  "...the five characteristics of werewolves. In the written tests of Defense Against the Dark Arts, students' knowledge of werewolves will be tested. I think the reason for this question is more because the Ministry of Magic cannot determine whether werewolves are lurking around us. , they want us to be able to distinguish and stay away from these dangerous dark creatures."

   "I'm curious, where did your test questions come from?" the Ravenclaw girl asked again.

   "As long as you're willing to spend Galleons, it's not difficult to get the o.w.Ls exam papers of the last few years." Albert took out three pieces of parchment from his backpack and said to everyone, "Okay, that's it for today's party. It's over, I guess 80% of you won't be able to write down these things with a pen, so I've helped you to organize them briefly, the content is on the parchment, and you can circulate it yourself when you go back!"

   said, Albert handed the parchment to Cedric of Hufflepuff and Katrina of Ravenclaw.

  "Why only questions?"

   "The content I just talked about is in "Dark Power: Self Defense Guide", you can draw it and recite it yourself." Albert said calmly, "Actually, the scope of the o.w.Ls exam is " Dark Powers: A Guide to Self-Defense, there is still no question above this book, so you don't have to worry about the exam being too difficult. As long as you study in the right direction, you can get a high score on the Defense Against the Dark Arts exam."

  "At the next meeting, we will practice defensive spells and spells to make sure everyone can pass the practice exam. Before that, I suggest you memorize what I said today, and you should start anyway. Review!" Albert said after finishing speaking, "I will let someone inform you of the next meeting time."

   "Albert, do you teach other classes?" Shanna asked expectantly.

   "Only Defence Against the Dark Arts class, well, let's all leave this room in an orderly manner. Lee Jordan, arrange for them to leave in an orderly manner." Albert said to Lee Jordan.

   "It's very detailed and great." Katrina deliberately stayed behind to speak to Albert, "Have you considered coming to the school as a professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts in the future?"

   "I never thought about it, this class is very evil, I never thought I could resist that curse." Albert flatly rejected it.

   "If they were charged for surprise tuition, I think many students would be willing to pay for it." Katrina knew the value of the parchment in her hand. It is easy to summarize the key points of the exam.

   "Forget it, I never do thankless things." Albert shook his head, "Also, I'm no longer short of money."

   "It's weird to say that out of your mouth." Katrina rolled up the parchment and put it in her pocket, smiling as she looked at the crowd that was gradually leaving ahead, "I think many people must regret not coming today. ."

  "At least, the Slytherin students won't come."

  After everyone left, Albert raised his wand to extinguish the light above his head. After closing the door, he turned it back into a book and stuffed it back into his backpack.

   In the corridor outside, everyone is still waiting to say goodbye to Albert.

   "The next party should be faster, I can't wait." Cedric asked with a smile, "By the way, and you won't mind if I bring more people next time~IndoMTL.com ~I don't mind, as long as it's not to cause trouble." Albert said.

  "Goodbye, Mr. Albert."

   I don't know who spoke first, so everyone cheered, said goodbye to Albert in a slightly mocking tone, and gave him the title of teacher.

   "Mr. Albert?" Fred teased.

   "I don't want to be a teacher, and I'm not old at all," Albert said.

   "Does the teacher have anything to do with the old man?" George raised his eyebrows and asked.

   "Albert is indeed a year older than us, so he is indeed older than us." Fred clearly pointed this out, and by the way took the topic off track.

   "You will be envious soon, why aren't you one year older than me." Albert said mysteriously.

   "Oh, don't be a sucker!" Lee Jordan put his arm around Albert's neck and said, "Did you predict something again, tell me honestly."

  "Hmph, you'll know next semester, just wait!"
