The turmoil caused by Sirius Black gradually subsided as time passed, and Hogwarts Castle returned to its former peace.
If it weren't for the dwarf security guards who often patrolled the corridors, students might have forgotten the panic caused by Black's two invasions of Hogwarts.
But for most fifth- and seventh-grade students, the Ordinary Wizarding Level Examination and the Ultimate Wizarding Examination in a few months are what they are most concerned about.
"Professor Lupine is sick again?"
"Is he really okay?"
"Professor Lupine always seems to have to take a few days off every month. Now I'm a little worried about the Defense Against the Dark Arts exam in June."
"We have learned very little useful knowledge from this course in recent years."
After being told that Professor Lupine was ill and studying for the Defense Against the Dark Arts class, the classroom immediately started whispering,
"I think this should be the curse of the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor." Shanna reached out and poked Albert, "Do you know what's going on with Professor Lupine now?"
"Actually, the Defense Against the Dark Arts exam is not as difficult as you think." Albert changed the topic and comforted softly: "As far as I know, we need to make a test paper and then demonstrate the cracking spell and spell in front of the professors.
Defense spells. For example: using funny tricks to drive away Boggarts. Most of the exam content comes from the book "Dark Powers: A Guide to Self-Defense". I think the Ministry of Magic should also be very aware of the situation of the Defense Against the Dark Arts class at Hogwarts. The exam
The content can’t be too difficult.”
"It's easy for you, but it doesn't mean it's easy for us."
"You said that Professor Lupine is often sick, could it be because of the curse of the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor?" Alia suddenly said, "The curse made Professor Lupine sick in order to make him resign from the school?"
"I hope Professor Lupine is okay."
"Perhaps Professor Lupine should resign early." George suddenly interjected, "The curse of the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor is really a bit scary. Think carefully about the fate of the previous Defense Against the Dark Arts professors."
"Does Professor Lupin know about the curse on the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor?"
"I think I should know." Albert said: "Professor Lupine also attended Hogwarts and must know that the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor changes every year."
"Perhaps, we should persuade him to resign early to prevent anything from happening to Professor Lupine." Shanna also didn't want to see an accident happen to Professor Luping. Everyone was very satisfied with the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor.
"It's hard."
Albert thinks it's ridiculous to ask a professor to resign early, at least he doesn't think he can successfully convince him.
"I think it's worth a try. If Professor Lupine is willing to resign early like Professor Brod did, he might be able to escape the curse." Zannah still wanted to give it a try. The recent Defense Against the Dark Arts professors are really good.
It was too bad. She didn't want Professor Lupine to follow in their footsteps.
"Albert, can you come with me to visit Professor Lupine? Maybe we can convince him." Shanna looked at Albert hopefully, "You definitely don't want anything to happen to Professor Lupine, right?"
"Today is not suitable, let's do it tomorrow!"
Albert glanced at the moon profit and loss chart on the parchment and said, "I will go with you to visit him then, and tell him about the curse by the way."
"I'll go with you, too." Lee Jordan muttered. "I wonder if Professor Lupine would like to lend us the Boggart."
"What did you use the Boggart for?" Angelina asked curiously, "Do you practice resisting the Boggart?"
"He planned to use it to practice the Patronus Charm." Fred explained with a smile: "Harry used the Boggart to practice the Patronus Charm, and he successfully summoned the physical Patronus in a short time."
"Is this really effective?" Zannah was also very interested in this. Her Patronus was still in the fog stage, and it was a blow to her that the Patronus Spell had stopped progressing.
"At least, after Harry used this method, the effect was very obvious." Li Jordan did not want to fall behind his friends, "Maybe, I will succeed soon."
"It's really worth a try." Fred said without hesitation: "It can also be used to test our patron saint."
Noticing the confused expressions of others, George said mysteriously: "Actually... Fred and I have successfully summoned the physical patron saint."
"Have you successfully summoned the physical guardian angel?" Aaliya couldn't help but widen her eyes.
"Those two bastards succeeded a few months ago." Lee Jordan said angrily.
"Yes, we succeeded." Fred grinned, "Thanks to Albert's help."
"A Patron Saint who has not been tested by Dementors cannot be considered a true Patron Saint." Albert reminded again: "If Professor Lupine is willing to lend us a Boggart, we should really use it to train him."
In fact, they asked Mundungus to help find a Boggart a long time ago, but the guy raised a very high price, and they still haven't found the Boggart.
If you want to find that thing, sometimes you really need some luck.
"What is your patron saint?" Shanna asked curiously.
"Magpie."
Fred and George said in unison, "Lee Jordan is an orangutan."
"Hasn't Lee Jordan summoned his physical patron saint yet?" Angelina couldn't help but ask, "How do you know what his patron saint is?"
"Albert said that his guess was very accurate. He guessed that our patron saint was a magpie before we summoned the physical patron saint." George explained, "He also guessed the gorilla."
Everyone looked at Albert.
"What do you think my patron saint is?" Shanna asked first.
"I don't know." Albert shook his head.
"Then how did you guess who the patron saints of the three of them are?" Angelina asked with wide eyes, "Did you rely on divination?"
"The form of the patron saint is a manifestation of the inner symbol. To a certain extent, it is a kind of leak." Albert patted Lee Jordan's shoulder and explained with a smile, "Of course, I can guess it.
The main reason is that we have known each other for a long time and understand the personalities of the three of them very well."
"Oh, we've obviously known each other for a long time." All the girls looked disappointed.
"Ahem, I think we may need a club, a Defense Against the Dark Arts club, to find someone to help us with our classes. As you all know, it is too difficult to get high marks in the Defense Against the Dark Arts class on your own.
" Shanna stared at Albert with her eyes, and her meaning was already obvious. The so-called "looking for someone" refers to Albert.
"I think this is a good idea, and there is no one more suitable than Albert." Angelina said excitedly. Of course she also wanted to get good grades.
"It doesn't take long. It only takes a few hours a week." Aria agreed.
"There are still a few empty classrooms in the school. I think Professor McGonagall would be happy to lend us those empty classrooms. After all, we are preparing for the O.W.LS exam."
"I raise my hands in favor of letting Albert teach us. He taught us a lot of useful spells last time." Lee Jordan agreed with the suggestions of several people. With this club, the Defense Against the Dark Arts exam in June will definitely be held.
It will be much easier.
"There are enough clubs that I need to join every week." Albert simply refused, "Besides, the Wizarding Card Club is about to hold its finals recently."
"I've always been busy with the Wizarding Card Club." Lee Jordan almost poked Albert's chest with his finger.
"I've already thought of a name. It's called Defense Against the Dark Arts Club." Fred said with a smile.
"Are you sure you've thought about the name seriously?" Aaliyah thought the name was perfunctory.
"We can call it the Duel Club." Fred added.
"Professor Lockhart is still lying in St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Maladies!" Angelina reminded.
"That's called the Defense Against the Dark Arts Alliance?" Zannah said.
"Someone has already taken this name." George shook his head.
"Is there such an organization?" Shanna was a little surprised.
"You may have forgotten that Professor Lockhart is an honorary member of the Defense League against Dark Arts." George reminded.
"That's called the Defense Association. No one has ever embraced this name!" Shanna added.
I didn't even agree, so why do you act like you've already established it?
Moreover, is this intended to steal Potter's da?
Albert complained crazily in his mind, "Besides, don't you think this name is incompatible with what you want to do?"
However, he soon discovered that a new task had been triggered: to create a secret society with no less than twenty people?
After seeing the general content of the mission, Albert was actually a little confused, because he had already established a wizard card club, and the club had no less than 20 people.
The difference is probably the supporters.
From that day on, the Defense Association was formed.
Even the people involved felt baffled when the meeting was established.
Albert is very busy every day. Even if he has a time converter, he doesn't want to waste time on this matter.
However, after a new task appeared on the panel, he changed his mind.
By spending an hour or two every week, you can not only recruit a group of people, but also complete a very rewarding task.
Why give up?
So delicious!
The purpose of the Defense Association was quickly determined, which was to help everyone achieve good results in the Defense Against the Dark Arts exam in June.
What is more regrettable is that there are currently only a few fifth-year students from Gryffindor who have joined the association, and since they cannot find a suitable gathering place for the time being, the Defense Association currently only exists in name only, or it is only established verbally.
Anyway, Albert is not in a hurry.
The mission is triggered, and that's the most important thing.
As for when to complete the task, he has plenty of time. Judging from the task description, it is not a learning interest group, but an organization similar to an association.
It is naturally possible to expand an interest group into an association-type organization, but this kind of thing cannot be done urgently, and it is useless even if it is rushed. This chapter has been completed!
