Chapter 1187 Strange things
After leaving the school hospital, Harry had been discussing Diggory with Hermione and Ron all the way, and it looked weird no matter how the other party went to Hogwarts to be hospitalized. St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Wounds and Wounds would be a better choice, but Digory went to Hogwarts.
The three finally agreed that the main reason why Digory went to Hogwarts to recover from his illness was that Hogwarts was safe. After all, someone disappeared inexplicably from St. Mungo's Magical Injury Hospital a while ago, and there is still no clue.
As for why Digory was injured, it was still a mystery, but all three believed that his injury had something to do with You-Know-Who, otherwise Digory would not have gone to Hogwarts...to take refuge.
In short, no matter how you look at it, this whole thing is weird, as long as you have a normal mind, you can find something wrong.
After some discussion, they decided to use the communication bookmark to see if they could get in touch with Fred and George in this way.
If possible, Harry would like to chat with them face to face, because the number of words that can be forwarded by the newsletter bookmark is limited, and it is difficult to express himself clearly.
Fortunately, in mid-October, Hogwarts third-year students can go to Hogsmeade, and they can meet at a place at that time.
"By the way, Harry, Professor Slughorn asked me to tell you that there is a party this Wednesday night, and he hopes you can come to it."
Hermione tells Harry about the Slug Club party invitation when Ron goes to the boys' bathroom.
She actually knew why Harry didn't go, but she still had to tell Harry about some things, and Harry seemed to be planning to get some secrets from Professor Slughorn.
"I can't be sure, it depends on the specific situation." Harry quietly glanced at the boys' bathroom, and said in a low voice, "You know, I am the captain of the Gryffindor Quidditch team, and it is impossible to abandon Quidditch Odd training to attend the banquet, and Ron is in a bad state recently...I have to help him regain his confidence and get back to his previous state."
After becoming the captain of Quidditch, Harry really felt the pressure on Wood and Angelina's shoulders.
No way, who made Ron's performance in training always unsatisfactory, and it was difficult to perform at a normal level, which caused his confidence to drop again and again. This is not a good sign. It was a disaster for the team.
There were times when Harry wondered if he had made the right choice in recruiting Ron to the team.
As a price, he would rather spend more time on this matter, so that Ron can play at a normal level in the next game, rather than wait for Ron to completely give up on himself and kick the opponent away from the team. Absolutely the worst case scenario.
Harry is actually a bit depressed. He obviously still has to defeat the mysterious man to save the world. He should concentrate on these things, but now he needs to worry about the Quidditch team first. It feels incredible to think about it.
Moreover, the matter about Diggory also made him feel very wrong. The other party came to Hogwarts to help him organize the DA party and teach the students Defense Against the Dark Arts must be Albert's intention.
Although Albert did things very meaningfully, it seemed that something was about to happen.
Harry suspected that even if he asked, he wouldn't get an answer.
Fred and George's replies were slower than Harry expected, and Harry didn't see any new changes in the content of the communication bookmark until that night. Fred and George made an appointment to meet at the Three Broomsticks to discuss the upcoming DA party.
Harry actually wanted to have a chat with the other party, but he only left a sentence of "I will have a face-to-face meeting at that time" and did not reply to other words.
…
"Harry has agreed!" George told everyone the good news. "However, Harry seems to have a lot of questions. He may be curious why we help train Hogwarts students?"
"If it were me, I would have similar questions." Lee Jordan was not surprised at all.
"When is the specific time?" Fred asked, "I mean the specific time when students above the third grade will go to Hogsmeade village."
"Just this weekend." George said without thinking, "Meet me at the Three Broomsticks at twelve o'clock."
"Have you guys figured out how to say it? I don't think Harry Potter can be fooled." Shanna stopped the scarf she was knitting and reminded them kindly.
"How about telling them directly that we are going to reorganize the Defense Association and recruit Hogwarts graduates?" Lee Jordan felt it best to tell Harry the truth.
"That sounds ridiculous."
"To be honest, if it doesn't work, take Albert out. Anyway, he asked us to do this." Fred felt that it would be easier to convince other people with Albert. But there must be his reasons.
"I don't think these are the key points. Shouldn't the point be what we can let Hogwarts students learn?" Cedric felt that there was something wrong with Fred's thinking, "Everyone is willing to join the Defense Association , isn’t it because you can learn useful things here?”
"You are actually right, but the problem is that Hogwarts students' defense against the dark arts has always been unqualified. We can let them learn for a long time with just a few things." George explained.
"Actually, you haven't had any formal training either. If you've gone through Albert's professional training, you won't be easily taken down and taken away." Fred muttered, "Especially when you're covered in black magic. In the case of defensive props."
"What formal training?"
Cedric was even more curious about the formal training that Fred was talking about.
"Spellcasting skills, combat thinking, and spell usage." George looked sideways at Shanna, "Do you still have a copy?"
"Also, do you want it now?"
"What copy?"
"Albert intends to compile a textbook for us. Shanna has been helping to sort out the materials. She must still have a copy." George explained.
Shanna picked up her wand and flicked it lightly, and a folder flew directly towards her.
Digory took it and flipped through it, and he knew what the so-called "formal education" is.
"I think Albert can consider returning to Hogwarts as a professor in the future, and he will definitely be very popular." Cedric smiled wryly.
This is the true level of an international duel champion!
The so-called Defense Against the Dark Arts class at Hogwarts is just like a joke. No, it should be said that the Defense Against the Dark Arts class at Hogwarts is only for students to get a preliminary understanding of the common sense of the magic world. It doesn’t teach you much at all. .
"I think Albert may become the headmaster of Hogwarts in the future." Lee Jordan muttered.
"If he wants to."
"Speaking of which, doesn't Albert come here often?" Cedric put down the parchment and asked. He actually wanted to learn some practical defense against the dark arts skills from Albert, especially after going through the last incident. Later, the feeling became more urgent.
"Yeah, after all, he is married, you can't expect him to continue fooling around with us." George shrugged and reminded.
"Just get used to it." Lee Jordan reached out and patted Cedric on the shoulder and said, "That guy still likes to order others around, and always likes to leave things to others."
"Don't listen to their nonsense, we just need to do our own thing." Shanna comforted, "If you want to return to the Ministry of Magic to continue working in the future, Albert will also help you. There's a lot of energy in there."
"It is said that Scrimgeour wanted to hire him as a special adviser, but he was directly rejected." Fred shook the wizard card in his hand and asked, "Want to play a game?"
"How about the wizard card now?" Cedric took the card and asked.
"There is no plague or fire, and the business loses money, but Albert doesn't care, he takes the money to support it." Fred was a little depressed when he talked about the loss-making business.
"You haven't played wizard cards in this period of time." Lee Jordan watched the two play cards to pass the time.
"This is also impossible."
After sorting out the cards, Cedric picked up the communication bookmark next to him and glanced at the contents, and changed the topic: "I feel like Harry doesn't seem to attach much importance to the Defense Association."
"In Harry's eyes, after the toad gets out, the mission of the Defense Association is over, and he is still the captain of Quidditch, so he certainly can't bother about it." Fred easily pierced Harry's words Think about it.
"Albert's child is estimated to be born, do you want to compete together?" George asked suddenly.
"Competition for what?" Cedric was a little stunned.
"Who's the kid's godfather?" Fred said vaguely as he took a bite of the pie.
"Anyway, Lee Jordan has been ruled out, and I'm the most favorable candidate at the moment." George was so proud that he almost patted his chest.
"I think it is!" Lee Jordan couldn't help but rolled his eyes.
"That guy is going to have a baby." Cedric sighed softly.
"When do you and Qiu Zhang plan to get married?" Shanna asked gossipingly, "Next year?"
"I haven't made a decision yet. After all, it may be too early for us." Cedric was a little embarrassed. It wasn't that he didn't want to marry Qiu Zhang, but he felt that the timing was inappropriate. The entire magic world is currently in chaos. A little worried that Qiu Zhang will be involved in the whirlpool, and he is not ready yet.
"If I were you, I would seize the opportunity." Fred suggested seriously, "Don't let happiness slip away."
