Chapter 1009 Defense Against the Dark Arts Team
When Professor Trelawney's prophecy was raging in Hogwarts Castle, there were rumors among the students that Albert planned to reorganize the "Defense Association". With the knowledge acquired in the defense class, he also personally compiled a black art defense book called "Guide to Self-Defense" as a textbook.
For the majority of Hogwarts students, this is undoubtedly good news.
Although some people dismissed the "Guidelines for Self-Defense" compiled by Albert, thinking that Albert was too arrogant, these noisy voices were quickly suppressed and were despised and criticized by others. estranged.
Only brainless idiots and jealous idiots would say that.
As the champion of Barnabus Finkley's excellent spellcasting skills, the champion of the Triwizard Tournament, the champion of the Wizard Duel Competition, and defeated the mighty Dark Wizard, Albert's ability is beyond doubt.
If even Albert is not qualified, who is qualified?
Other authors who wrote Defense Against the Dark Arts books shouldn't all be laughing stock? They don't have the dazzling titles and auras of Albert.
Umbridge was a little slow to react to this rumor. When she received the news and tried to take action, those rumors changed.
Because Albert himself directly claimed that this semester is relatively busy and he has no time to give everyone tutoring.
The original gossip is self-defeating.
Of course, the truth is often only known to a few people. Katrina is one of the insiders. She knows that Albert is very busy and not having time to give tutoring to everyone is just an excuse. After all, Albert has tutored her several times this month. The effect was great, and Katrina felt that her Defense Against the Dark Arts level had jumped a lot.
Before Umbridge could react, it was rumored that Harry Potter actually wanted to reorganize the "Defense Association" and planned to take the opportunity to attack Umbridge, and some people pointed out that the abbreviation of "Defense Association" is DA , also short for Dumbledore's Army.
Before Umbridge had time to rejoice that he finally grabbed Potter and Dumbledore's tail, new rumors spread that no one was planning to reorganize the "Defense Association" at all, and that was actually the preparation of the Anti-Toad League. They finally planned to hold a party, and they planned to use this opportunity to drive Toad out of Hogwarts in one fell swoop.
This is undoubtedly exciting news. The arrogance of the Anti-Toad Alliance is rising steadily, and all kinds of strange rumors are flying around Hogwarts.
However, according to Umbridge's findings: Everyone is talking about parties, but no one knows exactly who is organizing them and when.
This taste is too familiar.
Another big fudge!
There was no party from beginning to end, it was all conceived by the so-called anti-toad alliance, the purpose is to join forces to play her.
Now Umbridge sort of figured out what the Anti-Toad League was all about.
This is a group that only exists on the surface. In fact, it is all Hogwarts students who oppose her. The so-called toad mark has never existed since the beginning. It is a lie they jointly spun. Those guys are just spreading rumors in private. Anyway, sometimes when you talk too much, everyone will believe it, and by the way, you can use this to disgust her.
As long as Umbridge is still serving at Hogwarts, and there are students who resist her, the so-called Anti-Toad Alliance will always exist and spread all kinds of rumors. It grows on other people's faces, and she will never be able to cover other people's mouths.
I don't know who came up with this idea, which made Umbridge very sick.
There are lies under the truth, and the truth under the lies. It is impossible to distinguish between the true and the false. At this time, it is like fishing in troubled waters.
This is a trick that Lee Jordan learned from Albert. The effect is quite amazing, and it directly stunned Umbridge.
While Umbridge's attention was absorbed by other news, Harry Potter had already quietly formed the Defense Against the Dark Arts team under Toad's nose.
Neville was one of the few students who received an invitation, the Weasley brothers and their friend Lee Jordan also planned to join, Ginny naturally also received an invitation, and Angelina, Alicia and Katie also received the invitation, and they had no other prejudice against Harry, and they were considered good friends.
Harry barely made up eleven people, all Gryffindor students. In fact, he didn't expect the Defense Against the Dark Arts group to grow to a certain scale, he just wanted to study and learn Defense Against the Dark Arts with everyone.
Unbeknownst to Harry, however, this wasn't the only one who had been invited.
George invites Diggory, Hermione quietly invites MacMillan, and Ginny invites her boyfriend...
With the help of Albert's good roommate, Hermione finally got the entire Defense Against the Dark Arts team running quietly under Umbridge's nose.
This time, Hermione took Harry's advice and was not in a hurry to expand the Defense Against the Dark Arts team, but planned to take a steady approach. She firmly believed that as long as everyone could learn useful knowledge from the Defense Against the Dark Arts team, this would definitely happen. It will spread quietly among the students, and more students will be willing to join in by then.
"The first meeting of the Defense Against the Dark Arts team has been scheduled!"
During an herbal medicine class, Hermione whispered to Harry and Ron, "Fred and George have agreed that we use the wizarding card game as a cover."
"Wizard card game?"
"I remember that the Wizarding Card Tournament will not end until March or April next year, right?" Harry asked suspiciously. Although he didn't pay attention to these things, he still knew something about them.
"This year has moved forward, and it will end at the end of this month." Hermione said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "We plan to hold the party after the wizard card game."
"After every wizard card game, there will be a short celebration banquet. At that time, we will stay to help clean up the garbage left by the celebration banquet, and then take the opportunity to hold the first party."
"Toad must not think of it." Ron muttered, "Besides, I think that guy is a little afraid of Albert."
"Can you not be afraid?" Harry thought to himself.
Umbridge's series of unlucky and tragic events were all thanks to Albert.
Although Umbridge may not be able to guess it.
"By the way, they will all graduate next year, what about the wizard card club?" Ron asked suddenly.
"I heard that Luna Lovegood will inherit the club."
"Crazy girl, I really don't know how Albert was chosen." Ron muttered.
"She was also the champion of the wizarding card competition, and she loves the wizarding card club enough." Hermione knows something, if she is not a prefect, she actually has a chance to inherit the wizarding card club.
"What about the follow-up competition? I mean how to solve the championship's ten Galleon bonus, or cancel the championship reward directly?" Ron actually wanted to compete for the championship's 10 Galleon bonus, but unfortunately his wizard card level is not as good as wizard chess .
"Don't worry, there will be activity funds." Hermione said casually.
"What's that?" Ron was a little confused.
"It's what they pay to keep the game going," Harry explained.
"But... why are they... does it do him any good?"
Ron was stunned when he heard that Albert paid to keep the club running. He really couldn't understand why Albert had to do this.
"George said that as long as the wizarding cards continue to be popular among the students, the money for maintaining the club is nothing at all, not even as much as the advertising expenses in the newspaper." Hermione admired Albert's series of arrangements for the wizarding card club .
Although the wizard card is not a gold Galleon, not everyone likes this kind of card game, but the relaxed and free atmosphere in the wizard card club is still welcomed by the students.
As far as Hermione knows, the vast majority of Hogwarts students are members of the Wizarding Club, and even many Slytherin students are members of the Wizarding Card Club.
Let’s repost the rest of the post tomorrow.
