Chapter 783 Trouble
The "Daily Prophet" is reporting the Hippogriff's escape. This report directly makes the Ministry of Magic's Committee on Handling Dangerous Creatures a laughing stock. Rita Kistor did not forget to blame them for deliberately letting the hippogriff go. Now everyone knows that the clever hippogriff managed to sneak away from the committee's nose in less than ten seconds.
"Is there any important news in the newspaper?" Ron took the "Daily Prophet" from Harry and began to read the headlines in the newspaper.
"No, the Ministry of Magic still hasn't been able to find Buckbeak." Harry seemed to think of something, paused, and continued, "However, they seem to be suspicious of Hagrid, thinking that he secretly unchained Buckbeak and let Buckbeak go." gram."
"They're just looking for a scapegoat. I dare say that if Dumbledore hadn't vouched for Hagrid, he might have been imprisoned in Azkaban by the Ministry of Magic." Hermione said sharply, "And, the newspaper There is no mention of Ministry of Magic officials taking bribes at all."
"Don't be angry with Hermione." Harry comforted, "At least Buckbeak is not dead."
In fact, what Harry didn't know was that Lucius Malfoy had applied to the Ministry of Magic for a polygraph test to confirm whether he was involved in the Hippogriff's escape, but the matter was rejected by the Minister of Magic .
Once Legilimency or Veritaserum is used, Harry will have no secrets.
However, the so-called "law" of the Ministry of Magic obviously does not allow those things to be abused on the bright side, let alone used on the savior.
"Where are you going?" Harry looked suspiciously at Hermione who was packing up.
"There is a meeting of the Defense Association today, are you going to attend?" Hermione packed up her things and was about to leave, "I remember it as a confrontation practice with a Boggart."
"wait for me."
Harry didn't want to stay and do his homework for a long time, so he immediately packed his things and prepared to go to the party with Hermione.
"Where's Ron?" Hermione asked.
"Forget it, I'll go too." Ron stuffed the rolled newspaper into his schoolbag, planning to go to the eight o'clock party with Harry and Hermione.
Before the party, the three of them went back to the dormitory, put down their backpacks, and then hurried to a certain corridor on the seventh floor of the castle.
As soon as the three of them arrived, they were taken aback by the crowded and noisy crowd in the corridor.
"There are so many people."
After passing through the crowded corridor, Ron couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
"There are indeed many people willing to come to the party."
Hermione counted the students gathered in the corridor on the seventh floor, there were more than a hundred of them.
Actually, this is really thanks to the mysterious person.
Many students who were curious about the appearance of the mysterious man gathered here, because today they also have to practice dealing with Boggarts, and they might have the opportunity to witness the true face of the mysterious man.
Of course, another reason is that Albert's Defense Association allows other people to participate in the past, and he himself has quite a few admirers.
"I saw a lot of Slytherin students, and those guys seem to have bad intentions." Ron saw a lot of acquaintances at a glance.
"Look over there."
Harry pointed to Malfoy who was talking to someone else in the corridor.
Ron looked in the direction Harry was pointing at, and couldn't help blinking, suspecting that he was wrong.
That’s right, it’s Mr. Malfoy who has diarrhea and no toilet paper.
His luck was good. Two days ago, he happened to meet an acquaintance who helped him pass toilet paper, allowing him to escape the tragedy of no toilet paper available.
Honestly speaking, Harry felt that those troublesome students should not be allowed to attend the party, especially those like Malfoy, that guy always looked down on Muggle-born wizards, how could he come here to attend the party?
This matter looks weird no matter how you look at it.
"Everyone be quiet!"
Albert came out from the passage behind the portrait, and said to the noisy students in the corridor, "I don't think many people know what we are doing here."
"Learning Defense Against the Dark Arts?" Someone said.
"Practice against Boggarts?"
Many people were talking about each other, and there was a lot of noise in the crowd.
"Unfortunately, this is actually a remedial class for the fifth grade Defense Against the Dark Arts exam."
Albert used the tip of his wand to make a piercing explosion, and after everyone covered their ears, everyone gradually became quiet.
"We are gathering here to hope that the fifth grade students can get a good grade in the upcoming O.W.Ls Defense Against the Dark Arts exam, so I don't want you to make any mistakes or misunderstand anything."
There were whispers all around.
"Of course, we don't reject other students, if you want to familiarize yourself with the content of the O.W.Ls Defense Against the Dark Arts exam in advance." Albert paused and continued, "But there are a few things you need to know: the content of the party The fifth grade students will be the first priority. If you want to participate in this party, you are forbidden to make trouble, and you can leave quietly if you don’t like it. In the end, if someone deliberately makes trouble, I think someone will be willing to stop him from wasting everyone’s precious time. I think Let’s go in after you’re clear.”
As he spoke, Albert turned and walked into the secret room, leaving behind a group of whispering students.
Most of the fifth-grade students followed in. They originally complained that Albert put everyone else in, but what Albert said just now clearly arranged everything.
Will Boggarts appear in practice exams?
They naturally also asked the students in the sixth and seventh grades.
The answer is yes.
No one wants to lose their chance to face a Bogut because of someone else.
Many people are willing to go in and have a look driven by curiosity.
After all, everyone said the last party was fun, and they wanted to check it out.
So, there are actually quite a few students following up in the secret room, and the slightly enlarged space looks a bit crowded.
"Okay, I won't talk nonsense, the fifth grade students come and line up." Albert said.
"Can't we participate?" Someone couldn't help asking.
"There are too many people and time is limited." Albert said,
"Then what's the point of us coming to the party." The man complained again, and got the approval of many students.
"The door is over there."
"What do you mean?"
"It means that no one is forcing you to come here, and no one is forcing you to stay here. If you don't like it, you can leave directly. The door is over there." Both Fred and George smiled maliciously at the man, "You You can leave by yourself, or we will send you away."
"I want to see how you..."
The man froze before he finished speaking.
"Sorry everyone for making room, we have to send this one out." Fred walked towards the man who fell to the ground.
"What the **** are you doing!" Many people didn't expect them to do it directly.
"Of course to send him away."
"I'll say it again, no one is forcing you to come, and no one is forcing you to stay here. If you want to leave the door, it's over there. If you want to make trouble at the party, we will throw you out directly." Albert's voice echoed in the room sounded.
"I'd like to see who threw who out."
Several students hiding in the crowd secretly cast a curse at Albert, but the spell bounced off before hitting Albert, making the guy who had succeeded in the sneak attack instantly dumbfounded.
"this…"
Before the Slytherin student could react, he was hit by several spells and fell limp on the ground. The other guys who were on fire just now were taken care of, and the scene was in chaos.
Of course, more often than not, other houses are secretly taking revenge on the students of Slytherin House.
Therefore, most of the knocked down were Slytherin students, and only a few rational factions hid aside before the conflict broke out so as not to be affected.
"If you don't like it, don't force it. There is a price to pay for making trouble. Why can't you understand people?" Fred and George threw a certain Slytherin into the corridor outside, and the others followed suit. Soon there was a group of Slytherin students lying in the corridor, and it was his bad luck whether any of them were innocent.
"Okay, the people who got in the way have disappeared." Albert returned to the closed Boggart box: "Let's continue, and try to solve the Boggart problem."
