Chapter 1043 Potter Tells the Truth
While Umbridge was ill in bed, Hogwarts regained its former vitality, and everyone finally no longer had to endure the toad's high-handed rule.
Such a good mood can be maintained at least until after the Christmas holiday.
However, Madam Pomfrey in the school hospital was not in such a good mood. Toad had had nightmares more than once, losing control of her emotions and screaming loudly.
No one can stand it every few days, and it keeps people from sleeping.
Madam Pomfrey, who can't sleep well, really wants to drive Umbridge to St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Injuries and Injuries. If it weren't for the healer's integrity, Madam Pomfrey has already driven Umbridge out of the school hospital .
The Hogwarts students' initiative to organize visits to Umbridge has not yet come to an end. Everyone is influenced by the Anti-Toad Alliance and wants to work harder to drive the toad away.
However, all of this is just a way some unscrupulous people came up with to disgust Umbridge. Students who really have a bit of brain know that it is not easy to drive Umbridge away.
At least Toad won't leave Hogwarts because of this, and she didn't even go to St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Wounds and Wounds to treat her strange illness.
Harry and Hermione were obviously aware of this, especially after being reminded by Albert, they brought the Weasley brothers and Cedric together to discuss the next thing, and decided to speed up the frequency of DA gatherings, and Rectify DA members and enhance everyone's cohesion.
Originally meeting once a week has now become four times a week.
Frequent DA gatherings can be a disaster for fifth graders. Originally, the Christmas holiday was approaching, and the homework was coming like an avalanche, and everyone was already overwhelmed, not to mention the high-intensity defense against the dark arts training.
Of course, Harry didn't make it mandatory for all DA members to attend, but no one wanted to miss a DA meeting. Because they can all feel that since joining the "Defense Association", their black magic defense level is increasing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The defense spells I learned at the DA party are almost as good as the defense spells I have learned since I entered school.
It’s a bit ridiculous to say that, although Hogwarts’ Defense Against the Dark Arts class also teaches students a lot of useful knowledge, there are very few such as the “Defense Association” that directly teach magic, practice combat skills, and how to better protect themselves.
What everyone longs for is practice, not theoretical knowledge, and Umbridge's "The Theory of Magic Defense" makes this even more vivid.
Therefore, Harry increased the number of meetings of the Defense Association, and everyone was actually very happy, because at the gatherings, he could really learn useful spells, how to defeat the enemy, protect himself, and let himself learn in the field of Defense Against the Dark Arts. Go one step further in the discipline.
However, with frequent DA gatherings, there are still some voices of opposition, especially those who have to train Quidditch players.
"Are you crazy, Harry?"
The frequent DA gatherings finally made Angelina the first to find Harry and complain to him about the frequent DA gatherings, because the DA gatherings conflicted with Quidditch training time, Angelina did not want to miss any DA gatherings, so she hoped that Harry Can slow down the frequency of DA gatherings.
Of course, because this is what everyone said at the beginning.
Facing the confused and puzzled gazes of others, Harry took a deep breath and explained to everyone: "I know it's a rush, but this is most likely the last good time when everyone can hold the party safely."
"What's the meaning?"
A Hufflepuff boy couldn't help raising his hand and asked.
Today's DA has grown to a huge size of sixty-six people. If you want to speak during the party, you need to raise your hand first.
Otherwise, one sentence per person should not be messed up.
Harry looked at Hermione and asked the other party to explain, and Hermione was responsible for collecting and sorting out this information.
"Toad's condition will definitely improve after the Christmas vacation. I secretly asked Mrs. Pomfrey, and the strange disease on her should be cured in two months at the latest." Hermione said about the strange disease. Sometimes, the tone was deliberately emphasized, as if emphasizing Umbridge's condition.
"This is with DA..."
Harry raised his hand and interrupted: "With Toad's character, I think she will probably trouble us, so now I can only try my best to get time for the party to practice magic. After all, most of the students will go home during the Christmas holiday, and After the Christmas holidays, I'm afraid we'll have to fight the toad again."
"We can keep Umbridge in the hospital for a few more months, even until the end of this term." A Gryffindor student suggested.
Everyone knows that Umbridge has a skin disease. It is definitely not an accident that Umbridge turned into a toad. It must be someone's trick. If you can do it for the first time, why can't you have a second time?
"That's the curse of the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor. It was just an accident. I don't think the same accident will happen twice." Harry never thought Umbridge was an idiot, otherwise how could he become the deputy minister? Stupid enough to think that Toad became the deputy minister because he had an affair with Fudge.
Even if Harry really thought this way, others would surely remind him that everyone believed that a few months of bedridden was enough for Toad to think through many things, and she would definitely be on guard against them, and she would even directly attack them.
"Don't forget the prophecy, the toad will drive away the principal, and the situation will only get worse." Fred reminded.
"We are very worried that it will be difficult for the DA party to continue, so we can only hurry up and learn Defense Against the Dark Arts, so that everyone can master more." Cedric agreed with Harry's approach, although Cedric Ke also attached great importance to the Quidditch game, but since Toad interfered in the Quidditch game, his interest in winning the Quidditch championship has declined rapidly.
Learning more Defense Against the Dark Arts skills now will not only help you cope with the coming era of chaos, but also be very helpful for serving in the Ministry of Magic in the future.
"I never force anyone to attend the DA party. You can choose whether to attend the party, or attend the more important parties." Harry cleared his throat and said, "Next, Hermione will make the content of the party Make a form, and then you can choose whether to participate or not.”
Everyone was whispering to each other, discussing the changes in the DA party, and whether they wanted to attend all the following parties.
"Please be quiet."
Hermione looked at the noisy crowd ahead, put her wand to her throat and said loudly.
The crowd gradually quieted down.
"Wizards from Muggle families, I suggest you come to every gathering and try to learn the survival skills we teach." Hermione raised her hand to signal everyone to listen to her before asking questions, "I talked to Albert, "Guide to Self-Defense" was actually written for wizards in Muggle families from the beginning. Although you should be able to buy this book next year, it doesn't hurt to hurry up and learn something now, at least now someone teaches you, and you don't need to do it yourself groping."
"Muggle wizard born?" Justin Fenriely of Hufflepuff frowned slightly.
"Yes." Cedric replied: "According to Albert's prophecy, wizards born in Muggle families will be in big trouble in the next few years, so Albert spent a lot of time compiling this book , hoping to help them as much as possible.”
"big trouble?"
People were whispering about what they called the big trouble, and there were also wizards from Muggle families here.
"This is indeed the case, we knew it a long time ago." Fred and George explained, "This is related to the chaotic situation in the next few years. According to Albert, it is the Second Wizarding War It is said that it is also related to the toad, and she was finally imprisoned in Azkaban Prison probably because of this incident."
"Chaos...Second Wizarding War?"
This news undoubtedly made everyone very disturbed.
"By the way, let me remind you that there will be a prison break in the wizarding world." Fred looked around the noisy crowd, knowing how to convince them: "If you have any relationship with the group of guys locked in Azkaban Damn, you have to be careful next time."
"Prison Break? Mr. Anderson's Prophecy?"
The crowd became louder.
"Quiet." Harry held his wand to his throat, and his voice echoed through the Room of Requirement, making everyone cover their ears.
"I said, listen, if you think what I said is nonsense, just treat it as nonsense and don't care about it." Harry put down his wand and told the DA members below about Hermione's summary manuscript.
"Voldemort is back." Harry looked at the wizards who were a little scared after hearing "Voldemort", and said flatly: "It is completely expected that he will make a comeback. Anderson predicted Voldemort's return a long time ago. Professor Firenze It also predicted the coming of the Second Wizarding War."
"As we all know, the Ministry of Magic is not willing to admit this fact, and strongly denies that the toad in the school hospital appeared in Hogwarts for this reason, trying to cover up the so-called truth." Harry looked at the slightly disturbed people, Continued: "Do you still remember the prophecy that Fudge will be ousted from power? If Voldemort no longer hides and completely exposes his minions, Fudge, a waste who strongly denies this matter, will naturally roll off the stage, and a stronger Minister of Magic will come to power to deal with this matter." matter, unless the Ministry of Magic intends to compromise with Voldemort, which is clearly impossible."
"I admit that I don't like Fudge, not only because Fudge tried to fire me and break my wand, but also because he gave Voldemort time to accumulate his power." Harry said disgustedly, "I don't know, I thought they were a gang of."
"I know that when the cruel reality is before you, many of you are reluctant to believe it. But you will soon have a chance to feel that the era of chaos is coming. Because Voldemort is not a patient man, he has endured It’s been half a year, and there will be a prison break in the near future, and all the Death Eaters in Azkaban will be released.” Harry noticed that everyone else was looking at him in awe, if he hadn’t been calmed down Potion, he doubted he would be overwhelmed.
"So, just like what Fred said." Harry said softly: "When you go back from the Christmas vacation, you'd better ask if you have any grudges against the guys locked in Azkaban, and then be careful gone."
"You mean that the prisoners in Azkaban Prison will escape." Neville's expression was extremely ugly.
"Yes." Harry raised his hand to stop other people from asking questions, and continued: "You can wait patiently for the news in the newspapers on this matter, so as to judge whether I am lying."
"It is said that Voldemort has recruited giants and werewolves to serve as his minions, and dementors, other dark creatures, and even dark wizards will also rush to be his minions." Harry continued: "In about a few years, the Ministry of Magic will be there. Down, and controlled by Voldemort's minions, it's time for Muggle-born wizards to suffer."
"As for the reason, Death Eaters hate Muggles, and they also hate Muggle wizards, so after the collapse of the Ministry of Magic, they were controlled by Voldemort and his minions. I believe that the situation of most Muggle wizards is not very good."
"Probably that's it. We'll post the party content form later, and if you think there are some courses that you don't need to study, you won't be able to use them to attend the party someday." Harry thought for a while and said, "Of course, you can If you don’t believe me, you think I’m talking nonsense.”
"I dare say that Dumbledore will definitely not allow the Ministry of Magic to be controlled by a mysterious person." Someone said first.
"Yes, I had the same doubts, but Anderson also predicted the coming of this chaos very early on. He predicted that Voldemort would probably make a comeback, and he also predicted the downfall of the Ministry of Magic. His predictions never went wrong." Haha Leigh said quietly, "I can't pretend he was wrong, because only a fool needs such self-consolation."
"Moreover, Professor Firenze once said: In the past ten years, there have been various signs that people in the wizarding world are only passing through the short period of peace between two wars. The Mars that can bring war is in our heads It was shining brightly on the ground, suggesting that fighting must be resumed soon."
The students were all whispering, disturbed by what Harry called the Second Wizarding War. Harry's words put a lot of pressure on Muggle-born wizards.
Although many people have doubts about whether Voldemort is still alive, they definitely don't believe Umbridge's nonsense, and Albert is obviously more trustworthy. No one knows what he predicted, but there must be nothing good, otherwise Wouldn't have taken the time to come up with a book like this.
Fame, wealth, status?
Albert obviously didn't need it. He was already famous enough. Not only did he have the aura of countless world champions, but he was also an official candidate for the Wizengamot. He stood at the end of many people almost without graduation.
As for trying to make money with Self Defense Guide?
That's even more of a joke. You must know that the price of "Guide to Self-Defense" is not high. It only needs two Galleons, which is simply cheap for similar books.
In order to dispel everyone's depressed emotions and let everyone actively participate in the DA party, Harry announced to teach everyone the Patronus Charm.
This spell is undoubtedly the most difficult to master in the "Guide to Self-Defense", and it takes a lot of time to practice. Even Cedric still hasn't mastered the Patronus Charm, and Harry taught them this spell in advance in the hope that they would find time to practice.
