Hermione is an activist and soon established the Defense Against the Dark Arts Club.
Although Albert didn't know exactly how she convinced Harry Potter, Hermione did succeed in inviting Harry and Ron to join the club.
The only problem is that they have no place to practice magic.
It was naturally impossible for Albert to tell them the secret of the Room of Requirement. After all, it had always been the place where he and Isobel dated. Once many people knew about the existence of the Room of Requirement, they would not be able to use it well for dates in the future.
Hermione had thought about asking Albert to teach everyone. If he did that, he would definitely attract a large number of students to join the club. Unfortunately, Albert did not plan to be so ostentatious for the time being, and it was not in line with the original purpose, so it was very difficult.
I simply refused.
However, in order to show his support for Hermione, Albert introduced several practical defense against the dark arts books to Hermione and encouraged her to consult Professor Lockhart if she didn't understand.
In fact, Albert had already guessed Hermione's idea. First, increase the number of people in the club, and then invite Professor Lockhart to take time to teach them. In this way, Harry would not resist.
In just a few days, the number of members in the club has expanded to five, and there is a trend of further expansion.
At this moment, the five people headed by Hermione were sitting not far from Albert, discussing the obstacle spell they were practicing recently.
This is Albert's advice to Hermione. The Obstruction Charm is a very practical spell, and the way to practice it is also very simple: throw a paper ball at the opponent, and then use the spell to stop the paper ball in mid-air.
For young wizards who have just come into contact with magic, obstacle spells are still a bit difficult, but they enjoy it. Even though Ginny and Colin did not join the club to learn Defense Against the Dark Arts at first, they are now talking about training.
Things are also very exciting.
"I think you can definitely form a Defense Against the Dark Arts Club," Fred looked away from Harry and suggested to Albert who was flipping through the Daily Prophet next to him: "Since Professor Lockhart came
After teaching Defense Against the Dark Arts, we learned almost nothing useful."
"If you are willing to teach everyone, I believe many people will be willing..."
"I don't want to. You also know that I don't have that much time and energy." Albert interrupted dryly, "I have twelve classes to take every week, and a lot of homework.
I have to find time to join several professors’ clubs, so I really don’t have time.”
"Every time you use these excuses, I'm almost tired of hearing them." George disapproved of this. He knew that Albert could find a way to find time as long as he wanted to. After all, this guy knew the so-called "Clone Curse", although they
I still don't understand how Albert did this.
"This is not an excuse, but this is the situation. I am really busy." Albert turned to the second page of the newspaper and was considering only ordering the weekly newspaper in the future. The content of the daily newspaper was really not nutritious and was just a mess of rubbish.
thing.
"Don't think I don't know, you are busy dating every day." Fred couldn't help but rolled his eyes at Albert.
"I heard that Dumbledore has booked a skeleton dance troupe for this year's Halloween dinner." Lee Jordan came over and told several roommates about the good news he had just learned.
"Is the Skeleton Dance Troupe famous?" Albert closed the newspaper and asked.
"Of course it's famous, but you don't know?"
Several people looked at Albert with incredulous eyes, as if they were looking at some rare animal.
"The Skeleton Dance Troupe will definitely surprise you." Lee Jordan said excitedly, "Tickets for the Skeleton Dance Troupe have always been hard to buy and super expensive. It's really exciting that the principal can invite them to perform at the school.
"
"I'll look forward to it a little bit," Albert said casually.
"Are you really not going to consider the proposal I just made?" Fred still refused to give up. He thought Hermione's idea of forming a Defense Against the Dark Arts Club was a good one.
People should learn to save themselves.
"It's like I don't have to do homework."
Albert suddenly raised his head and looked at the owl flying this way. A package was thrown in front of him, with a letter on it.
However, what caught a few people's attention the most was that the package actually trembled.
"What is this stuff?"
Several people were obviously startled by this strange package.
George raised his hand and poked the package, then lowered his voice and said, "Isn't someone sending you something strange again?"
"There is a letter on it." Lee Jordan reminded him. He took the letter out of the package and glanced at the sender's name. "It was sent to you by Hagrid."
With that said, he handed the letter to Albert.
Albert glanced at the uneven writing on it, then opened it and took out the letter paper.
"Can we open the package?"
Fred was really curious about what was in the package, so he asked Albert for his opinion. He felt that Albert would most likely not open such a strange package by himself.
"Hagrid seems to have a different view of danger than ordinary people."
Albert added in his mind.
He knew that Hagrid had once befriended the Acromantula, bought a Greek three-headed dog at the Pig's Head Bar, and secretly kept a dragon at home illegally.
However, Albert was not too worried that Hagrid would send him something dangerous, not to mention that he was not the one to open the package.
He began to read Hagrid's letter, which said two things:
It seems that Professor Wilmina Grupplan has other magical creatures to take care of and is unable to serve as Professor of Care of Magical Creatures at Hogwarts for a long time.
The suspicious item in the package is "The Monster Book of Monsters". This book is Hagrid's chosen teaching material. I hope Albert can provide him with some advice.
Finally, a note:
Be careful, it can bite.
Touching the spine of a book will calm it down.
"What is this thing? Damn it, it actually bites people. It hurts. Please help me get it off."
An angry voice sounded from the side. When Albert looked over, he found that Fred had "The Monster Book of Monsters" biting his palm and was shaking it hard, trying to shake the book off his hand.
After George and Lee Jordan reacted, they quickly stepped forward to help Fred pull the book off his hand. The book fell to the ground and immediately ran under the table, like some kind of crab.
"What the hell did Hagrid send you?" Fred complained to Albert while checking the injury on the back of his hand, "Who on earth said this thing is not dangerous just now?"
Albert ignored Fred's complaining gaze, took out his wand and waved it, levitating the book, and then conjured a rope out of thin air to tie it tightly.
"Okay, it's safe now." Albert threw the book on the table. Although the thing still trembled occasionally, it was obviously no longer able to bite anyone.
"Why did Hagrid send you this?" George asked curiously, "This thing looks like a mad dog."
"It's called "The Monster Book of Monsters". Well, you heard it right, this is a book."
"Are you sure this thing is a book? I think it looks like some kind of dangerous magical animal." Fred emphasized the word "danger" very hard.
"You'd better go find Madam Pomfrey and take care of the wound to avoid leaving scars." As he spoke, Albert stretched out his hand and gently touched the spine of the book, and "The Monster Book of Monsters" immediately became very peaceful.
"What a shame, why didn't you tell him earlier if you had a way to subdue him?" Fred complained endlessly.
"Hagrid wrote it in the letter." Albert stuffed the book into his backpack, "Let's go and find Madam Pomfrey. I'm sure you don't want to leave a scar."
All three people understood the meaning of Albert's words, and they all accompanied Fred to the school hospital.
Halfway through, Albert told them about Hagrid's intention to apply to become Professor of Care of Magical Creatures.
"Oh, my God, don't tell me, that thing in your hand is Hagrid's chosen textbook."
The three of them suddenly became ill.
The news of Professor Kettlebo's illness has long been spread in the school, and Professor Graplan has temporarily taken over the Care of Magical Creatures class.
"I thought Professor Grubbly-Plank would take over Professor Kettlebo's position." Fred really couldn't imagine what it would be like after Hagrid took over the Care of Magical Creatures class.
Albert could understand the mood of the three people, but they would not be the only ones disappointed. Many people thought that Professor Graplan would take over Professor Kettlebo's position.
"Anyway, next year will be the last year." Albert didn't pay much attention to this matter. He didn't plan to continue taking the Care of Magical Creatures course.
In fact, even Muggle Studies, Divination, History of Magic, and Astronomy were all planned to be abandoned in sixth grade.
