While chatting and spitting out, Yifan and the others had already walked under the beating willow tree, and together went to the screaming hut through the underpass.
Before I entered the door, all kinds of noisy voices came over. After Ivan pushed the door and entered, I was surprised to find that there were as many as one or two hundred little wizards coming to class!
Judging from the school uniforms that everyone wore, most of the little wizards from Gryffindor and Hufflepuff arrived, and some students from Ravenclaw and Slytherin also came.
Ivan could guess that the entire castle must be half empty now, no wonder Ron felt that Umbridge could find something wrong, after all, her eyes were not blind.
The noise from the door quickly attracted the little wizard's attention, and more than a hundred pairs of eyes glanced over.
It is the prefects of the various colleges and universities who are in the forefront of maintaining order.
Hannah Abbott, Ernie McMillan, Anthony Golds, Padma Petir, and even Slytherin's prefect Pansy Parkinson were there.
Together with Hermione and Ron, it can be said that all the prefects of Hogwarts have arrived except Malfoy!
Being stared at by this large group of people, Ivan was the first and two big people. He originally thought that he was here to guide a study group, at most 20 or 30 people...
Thinking of this, Ivan looked at Hermione with a weird look.
The little witch looked at the lively screaming shack, too. She had only invited some trusted friends before and discussed with the prefects.
Although Hannah Abbot had promised her that they would bring some people who wanted to learn defense skills, Hermione did not expect that there would be so many so-called "some people".
"Your Excellency Hals..." Ernie McMillan in the front row greeted him for the first time and said respectfully.
Hannah Abbott and Pansy Parkinson also yelled at the side, looking at Ivan with a mixture of flattery and awkwardness.
After all, there is a deep conflict between the two colleges, and they can't trust each other.
"I don't need your invitation, Granger, and you are not responsible for teaching us!" Pansy Parkinson frowned and responded tit-for-tat.
The faces of the Slytherin students behind them also showed dissatisfaction. Many of them were forcibly pulled by Pansy Parkinson, and now hearing Hermione say this, they can't wait to turn their heads and leave immediately.
Hermione still insisted on her own opinion, thinking that Pansy and others must have some conspiracy here. She wanted to figure out the purpose of their gathering, and then told Umbridge!
The two soon quarreled in the screaming shed, and the little wizards of Slytherin and Gryffindor also drew out their wands, faintly showing a confrontation.
"I believe that everyone here is not malicious, Hermione!" Ivan interrupted the argument between Hermione and Pansy very seriously.
"But they..." Hermione opened her mouth and wanted to reply.
"No but..." Ivan interrupted Hermione's words again and then increased the pitch a little bit, and continued to speak. "Don't forget, we are now facing the deterrence brought by mysterious people, everyone should unite, there is no academy here!"
Ivan's words made Hermione think about the sorting hat's warning at the beginning of school, and she nodded, putting away her hostility towards Pansy Parkinson.
The original tense atmosphere in the screaming hut was also eased by Ivan's words.
Only Ernie McMillan and others looked at Ivan with weird gazes. If you are not mistaken, hasn't the mysterious man been defeated by you?
Ivan didn't pay attention to the doubts that arose in the hearts of several people, but turned to look at the more than one hundred wizards and spoke.
"Welcome everyone to join the Defense Against the Dark Arts Association I founded!"
"Because of the rush of time, your prefect may not have mentioned the significance of the existence of this association to you, so I will repeat it briefly-I have only one purpose in creating this association... That is to take back the original from the Ministry of Magic. It belongs to us to cast spells!"
