Harry Potter’s Book of Sin Chapter 377: An army of fire elves?
"Oh! The butter beer here looks dirty, I didn't expect it to taste really good!"
"Yes, yes! Although the bottle is really dirty..."
"It doesn't matter if the bottle is dirty, this cup is not clean...but it tastes great!"
In the Pig's Head Bar, the little wizards gathered around and enthusiastically commented on the butter beer here. Whenever a "dirty" sounded, an annoyed glance came from the back of the bar, but everyone didn't care about it.
Because she was in the middle of them, Hermione had waved her hand to stop the conversation and signaled that she was about to start talking.
"Remember? I said a little bit when I invited you before, but today I have to say it in full in front of everyone--"
Hermione looked serious, which made everyone quiet.
"That's it..." She said seriously, "First of all, I think everyone knows in their hearts that the current Hogwarts is not safe..."
"My mother said the same, she wrote to me!" The yellow-haired boy who was behind Ginny before rushed and said, "Mom is even considering whether to transfer me..."
"Who are you?" Ron asked unceremoniously.
"Zacharys Smith." The boy glanced at Ron and said casually.
"Your mother didn't write to tell you, is it impolite to interrupt others?" Ron's face showed dissatisfaction.
"Humph! Didn't you also interrupt me? Where are you polite?" Zacharias snorted coldly at Ron.
"Okay!" Hermione waved her hand and stopped. "Attention, what I want to say is-Hogwarts is really not safe, but it's the same outside of Hogwarts!"
"Presumably among those present, some of the classmates have heard about the riots in the UK and even the entire European magic world. Werewolves, vampires, mad wizards, etc., a series of cases are happening frequently. . Compared to outside, maybe Hogwarts is safer..."
"I think the reason why Hogwarts is more stable than outside is inseparable from the protection of us by the professors!"
"Especially..." Hermione paused, somewhat sadly, "Especially Principal Dumbledore--as Macca said, his death must be for us, for the whole of Hogwarts! "
"But, look at us again?" She spread her arms out, showing regret, "We are really just students, but we really can only wait for the professor and Maca to come. Protect us?"
"...not to mention school or something, at least we don't want to be a burden!" Ernie said, turning his head to confirm to the surrounding little wizards, "Is it? Isn't it?"
"Yes!" "Yeah." "If it is possible!"
This time, most of the people invited by Hermione were students who heard that she wanted to learn more about Defense Against the Dark Arts, and couldn't help but yearn for them.
Under the threat of Voldemort's repeated attacks, everyone wanted the power to protect themselves.
As soon as I gestured to Ernie, many people responded more or less.
"Yes, that's it!" Hermione nodded and said, "However, if you want to make yourself stronger, it's definitely impossible to rely on the pile of **** taught by Umbridge. Yes! What we want to learn should be true!"
"...To be honest, who would call those ghosts ‘defense to the dark arts’?" she concluded confidently.
"Yes, well said--" Ravenclaw's Anthony Goldstein whispered in support.
Speaking of, when Maca first got on the Hogwarts Express when he first entered school, he was in the same carriage with this rather introverted black-haired boy.
It can be seen that he seems to be a little bit more cheerful than before...Yes, really just so "a little bit"!
"So I think..." The inspired Hermione became more determined, and she said decisively, "I think, why don't we find a way to solve this problem by ourselves?"
Speaking of this, she paused for a while, leaving everyone with some room for thinking, before continuing: "So, the three of us found a more suitable Defence Against the Dark Arts professor for everyone. Not the pink Umbridge."
"Oh!" Ginny Dang even reacted, she couldn't help but yelled.
"Is it Maca?" Ernie was pleasantly surprised. "This is really great. I always wanted to find a chance for him to teach me something! But I can't find anyone else..."
"Yes, it's Maca." Hermione nodded triumphantly. "I think there is no more suitable teacher than him, right?"
"McLean is indeed very good, but can we learn it well?" Zacharias just said again, "I have been to the ancient magic text class that he was in a few times, not a Recite vigorously, that is to say, "Experience the meaning of magic text"..."
"...Until now, no classmate can use the ancient magic text to float feathers like him! But in the spell class, Professor Flitwick taught us to use the floating spell in the first lesson. ."
"Because it is ancient magic literature, not magic science, nor defense against the dark magic—" Luna said in a daze. "The magic literature taught by Professor Babling can only be used to translate ancient times. Documents!"
"Uh..." Zacharias was a little speechless by Luna's light words. He held back for a while before saying unwillingly, "Maybe so... but who knows if he can teach black What about defense magic? You know, if you can use it, you may not necessarily teach it!"
"Enough!" Harry couldn't help but said, "If you don't want to learn, then you can leave now! No one here forces you to learn--"
However, Zacharias just curled his lips. Although he still insisted on his own opinions, he didn't mean to leave the seat at all.
"So," Hermione glanced at him, and then said, "So...as I said earlier, if you want to learn from Maca the real Defence Against the Dark Arts, then we have to plan. Specific matters-for example, how often do we meet, where should we train, etc."
"And I have to hide from Umbridge so she can't let her know." Harry added emphatically, "Everyone knows that her departure is only temporary, and she will return sooner or later!"
"I really don't understand why, in such a precarious period, the Ministry of Magic would stuff such a useless thing into the school—ah, I mean, teacher."
Ginny said so, sticking out her tongue cutely. But when Harry's gaze flicked toward her, she subconsciously turned away.
"Well said, Ginny!" Ernie laughed loudly, "Let me see, that old witch has been trying his best to stop us and prevent us from using any defensive spells."
Hermione and the three of them looked at each other when they heard Ernie's words, and they didn't know whether they should also reveal some of the Ministry of Magic.
In fact, the tug of war between the Order of the Phoenix and the Death Eaters in the Ministry is quite serious in nature.
The Ministry of Magic can be said to be the heart and brain of a country’s magical world. If something shakes the foundation, it’s no joke!
In the entire British magical world, all the order and development of ordinary wizards are closely linked to the Ministry of Magic. This is a major event that affects the whole body.
Thinking about this, Hermione shook her head slightly at Harry and Ron after all, beckoning them not to say anything.
"I think the reason why the Ministry of Magic arranged Umbridge into Hogwarts to intervene in our Defence Against the Dark Arts course was because'someone' had some inexplicable absurd assumptions—"
Hermione randomly found a reason and said:
"Maybe some people think that Dumbledore will organize us students, build a secret army, and then encourage everyone to resist the entire Ministry of Magic."
Almost everyone was dumbfounded when she said that.
Only Luna tilted her head and said quietly: "Yeah, Hermione makes a lot of sense... Actually, Minister of Magic Cornelius Fudge has a secret army of his own!"
"What?"
This time even the three of Hermione were stunned~IndoMTL.com~ This is news that no one expected.
"Did Maca tell her?"——In the bottom of Hermione's heart, such an idea was born the first time.
"Yes, he has a whole private army of'Heliopa'." Luna said pretentiously.
"'Haley-Opa'? What is that?" Neville asked blankly.
"Fire spirit!" Luna explained happily, "The behemoth full of flames, running like a sea of fire, can burn everything on the road--"
Hermione, who was whispering, suddenly realized something was wrong, and she understood—Luna was talking about her gossip again.
"... But Luna, I haven't read any book." Hermione pursed her lips, "They don't exist, do they?"
"Existing!" Luna looked affirmatively.
"But..." Hermione seemed unwilling, but in fact she didn't want to really argue with Luna, "But, they don't--"
"Oh, huh!" Ginny realistically imitated Umbridge's artificial cough, interrupting the subtle dispute between the two.
A few classmates looked around in surprise, and then looked at Ginny and laughed.
"I said..." Ginny reminded with a smile, "Should we not decide how often to gather? We have to find a place to train or something, this place doesn't sound very easy to find!"
"Yes, you are right, Ginny!" Hermione hurried down the slope, avoiding the confusing confrontation with Luna. "We should be discussing this—time and place. All have to be settled down!"
