Chapter 1173 Defense Against the Dark Arts Potter
In the early morning, countless owls flapped their wings and poured into the castle hall of Hogwarts. After circling over the heads of the students enjoying breakfast, they landed on the recipients' side and performed their duties as postmen.
Harry picked up the newspaper dropped by the owl and began to read the content. Compared with the "Daily Prophet" controlled by Fudge, Harry found that he liked the "Daily Prophet" controlled by Scrimgeour, at least in the newspaper. The content always makes people feel happy.
A few days ago, the news that the Ministry of Magic once again shattered the mystery man's conspiracy and successfully killed several Death Eaters spread throughout Hogwarts. The only person who was not happy about this was probably Harry who was in Slater. Lin's nemesis: Draco Malfoy.
It's no wonder that Malfoy's face has been so gloomy recently that he almost squeezed out water. Bella is his relative.
Harry looked back, took a sip of pumpkin juice, looked at today's headlines, and soon discovered a surprising piece of news.
A reporter was beaten by the victim’s family because of his aggressive words while interviewing family members who were persecuted by Death Eaters. He is currently hospitalized with serious injuries.
The Ministry of Magic regrets this incident and has comforted the families of the victims. Minister Scrimgeour claimed that they will not receive any punishment because their relatives died heroically in the war not long ago.
The Ministry of Magic severely reminded the general public that Barty Crouch Jr., who was sympathized by people back then, was the culprit who caused the return of the mysterious man. He believed that people should put away their ridiculous sympathy for Death Eaters and dark wizards.
"Poof!"
Harry spit out the pumpkin juice he just drank, he's sure it was intentional, it's probably because the reporter said something radical, which completely annoyed the Ministry of Magic, causing Scrimgeour to arrange for him to "interview" the victim's family.
"What's the matter, Harry."
Hermione, who was flipping through the "Advanced Rune Translation", raised her head and cast a puzzled look at the smiling Harry.
"Today's newspaper headlines, I dare say Scrimgeour definitely did it on purpose." Harry handed the newspaper to Hermione, and asked casually, "How's your investigation going?"
"I searched through many books, even went to the restricted area, but still didn't find any clues. I suspect that part of the books was removed."
Hermione suspected that Dumbledore took away all the books recording the Horcrux.
"What a problem for me!" Harry muttered.
"Don't worry Harry, Dumbledore has left you for a long time, I think you need to establish a good relationship with Professor Slughorn in advance."
"Do you think I should go to the 'Slug' party?" Harry was a little depressed, not because he didn't want to go to the party, but because he didn't think it was a good idea to throw Ron away.
"That party wasn't as bad as you thought." Hermione whispered, "Actually, it was kind of fun."
"Perhaps, I should drink some Felicia and try my luck. No, it would be better for Dumbledore to drink Felicia."
Harry had actually tried it, and Felicia could indeed make things go smoothly. However, his intuition didn't lead him to go to Professor Slughorn, but to go to Dumbledore, because Harry thought he could go to Professor Slughorn. Albert predicted divination, or persuaded Dumbledore to use Felicia to find Professor Slughorn to try his luck.
Later, Harry learned that Dumbledore had actually asked Albert to predict the number of Horcruxes, but they had to get more accurate information to prevent any accidents.
After all, their enemy was Voldemort, and any misstep would mean their efforts would be wasted.
So, Harry gave up for the time being. The dosage of Felicia Felicia was limited. He didn't dare to waste it at will, and planned to save it for critical moments.
"Can you contact Albert?" Harry turned to Hermione.
"Is this okay?"
"Do you really think that guy doesn't know anything?" said Harry dryly.
"No way." Hermione cast her eyes on Ron.
"Fred and George have recently disappeared. It is said that Death Eaters are staring at them now, trying to find Albert through them. By the way, Bill asked us not to write important things in the letter to prevent the letter from being intercepted." Luo En took the newspaper, and after reading the headlines on it, he changed the subject and asked, "By the way, Harry, when do you plan to hold the defense association meeting?"
"The end of this month!" Harry said without thinking.
"No Harry, we promised to go to the Wizarding Card Club."
Although Albert handed over the club to Luna, Hermione still hoped that the relaxed atmosphere could be maintained.
"I found that there are so many things this month." Harry sighed helplessly, and took out a quill to record the content.
When there are too many things to do, if you don’t write them down, it’s easy to forget, or forget the homework of a certain class.
"By the way, Harry, have you heard?" Ron seemed to hear something, and suddenly said, "Malfoy seems to have quit the Quidditch team on his own initiative."
"That's unusual," said Harry.
"I think it's normal, whoever told his father to be a Death Eater, probably no one would want to deal with the son of a Death Eater." Ron was in a happy mood, and no one wanted to see Malfoy's misfortune more than Weasley up.
"Most Death Eaters come from Slytherin, do you think they really care about these issues?" The reason why Harry wanted to find Albert was not only to ask about the Horcrux, he also wanted him to help with divination, see See what the **** Draco Malfoy is up to.
He had an inexplicable feeling that Harry suspected Malfoy was a Death Eater, but he didn't think such a guess would convince his two best friends, because it sounded ridiculous.
"I always feel that that guy is brewing some terrible conspiracy."
"Okay Harry, don't worry about Malfoy's conspiracy, when do you plan to start the party, everyone can't wait." Ron cast his eyes on Hermione: "Are you ready?"
"I suggest this weekend." Hermione suggested, "You should be free, right?"
"Okay!" Harry nodded in agreement, "It's only once a month anyway, what do you think we should talk about this month?"
"Choose from the "Self-Defense Guide", so that everyone can have books." Hermione suggested: "You can teach everyone how to use spells to build a safe temporary camp. I remember there are relevant contents in the book."
"I don't think these things may be useful to everyone. After all, they can't each have a non-traceable stretch bag, and it's impossible for each of them to have a tent." Ron kindly reminded that he doubted most of the students There is no need for this part, because no one is so stupid as to wander around, even if Albert once said that Muggle wizards will have a harder time in the future.
"We can use a party to explain it. There is no harm in learning something. After all, we have also learned a lot of defensive magic!" Hermione persuaded
"Not a lot, no, we've only learned a little superficial." Ron obviously disagreed with Hermione's words, "In Fred's words, I'm a self-righteous little fool who only learned a little superficial, this is also the "Guide to Self-Defense" Why most of the time people run away instead of fighting back brazenly."
"Albert deliberately put this part of the content into it. There must be his reasons. I think it is very necessary to master this part of the skill."
Seeing the two people who were about to argue, Harry quickly interrupted: "I plan to take some time to review the magic I have learned before, and I will review the Patronus Charm by the way. Now dementors are everywhere, I think It is necessary to be proficient in mastering the Patronus Charm."
"As for learning how to build a safe camp in the wild, I can wait until next month to talk about it. At least let me figure it out first, otherwise how can I teach others!"
Actually, Harry felt that what Hermione said was very reasonable. There was nothing superfluous in Albert's "Guide to Self-Defense", and the content in it was very useful.
The news that Harry planned to re-host the DA party spread quickly in the castle as if he had grown wings. After hearing the news, everyone ran over to say hello to Harry and inquired that Harry was going to teach everyone at the party. what magic.
