"That guy always comes up with jaw-dropping ideas!"
After reading the contents on the parchment handed over by George, Sirius couldn't help but marvel at Albert's fantastic ideas.
Defense Against the Dark Arts training institute?
He really dares to think!
"Would Scrimgeour go along with such a shady plan?"
Although Sirius doubted whether the so-called Defense Against the Dark Arts training institution could succeed, he did agree with the idea of finding supporters for Harry.
"I don't know, but this method is more reliable than distributing the "Self-Defense Guide" to everyone." Lu Ping took the parchment and read the simple plan above carefully, "If the plan goes well, it should be able to greatly enhance everyone's black magic.
Defense level.”
"This is not easy." Sirius muttered, "If it is free, maybe someone will be willing to do it. If there is a fee, I guess not many people will be willing to participate."
"I remember you guys have tried something similar before?" Lupine didn't pay attention to Sirius' words and turned to look at Fred and George.
"Yes, at that time we held a 'Defense Association' meeting in the Room of Requirement, and about dozens of students attended." Fred recalled, "At that time, we taught people separately and taught black magic according to their actual level.
The defense content is very effective, and the black magic defense level of most students who attended the party has been significantly improved."
"What did you teach?" Sirius asked curiously.
"Stunning spells, disarming spells, iron armor spells and other relatively simple and commonly used spells." George explained, "I think some wizards have poor black magic defense levels simply because they have not practiced it. As long as they get preliminary training, their
The actual level will improve dramatically. Maybe their black magic defense level is still not high, but at least they have the initial ability to protect themselves."
"It does sound reasonable. What is taught in the Defense Against the Dark Arts class at Hogwarts is really useless. Most wizards' Defense Against the Dark Arts level will not be much higher after graduation." Even Sirius had to admit.
What George said makes sense.
"Ahem." Lu Ping coughed lightly and asked, "Do you think this plan is feasible?"
"Albert thinks Scrimgeour will agree to popularize knowledge about defense against the dark arts." Fred and George quickly exchanged glances.
"The biggest problem with this plan is actually whether you are willing. If you are willing, it should not be a problem as long as the entire plan is further improved." George added, "I suggest informing Kingsley and Moody to discuss it first."
"I'm already here. I heard some of what you just said." Moody limped into the living room on crutches, reached out and took the parchment handed by Lupine, and quickly glanced at the contents inside.
After reading the content, he took out a kettle from his pocket, poured a sip of wine into his mouth, and muttered: "That guy really dares to think!"
A tired-looking Kingsley followed him into the living room, took the parchment from Moody, and after carefully reading the contents on it, commented: "I think this plan is good."
"Are you sure you're not kidding?"
Moody suddenly turned his head to look at Kingsley, as if he was wondering if this guy was an impostor.
"Of course not. This is really a good idea, thank you."
Kingsley took the butterbeer from Sirius, took a big sip, and explained to the confused people: "First of all, your thinking is wrong."
"Thinking?"
Kingsley took another sip of butterbeer before continuing, "The Defense Against the Dark Arts training institution is popularized in the name of the Ministry of Magic. However, the Ministry of Magic does not actually pay much, but it can get a lot of benefits. Why doesn't Scrimgeour
agree?"
"Okay, that's why George said that the biggest problem with this plan is actually whether we are willing." Sirius couldn't help curling his lips, "If we do things, the Ministry of Magic will benefit?"
"It doesn't count, I can only say that everyone gets what they need." Kingsley looked at George and asked, "Actually, I am more curious about what benefits Albert can get from it? If they all learned the Iron Armor Curse, your dark magic defense
The props might not be sold.”
"I don't know. Anyway, Albert can't let himself suffer, so there's no need to worry about that." Fred was very confident in Albert.
"Are you sure the Ministry of Magic will really agree to such an exaggerated plan?" Moody expressed doubts. He had trained Aurors before and was very aware of the difficulty of teaching a group of people, let alone the intention to teach the entire British wizarding community.
A wizard.
"Yes, you should have noticed that the Death Eaters have been causing trouble for the Ministry of Magic recently, making everyone very anxious. I have been working overtime for several days in a row." Kingsley reached out and rubbed his tired cheek. "
If everyone has some self-protection capabilities, it can also reduce the pressure on the Ministry of Magic to a certain extent."
"Albert thinks we should cultivate a group of supporters, even if they are not invited to join the Order of the Phoenix, they can still prepare for the final duel in the future." Fred interjected: "He thinks Harry will eventually have a head-on duel with the mysterious man.
, Harry will need a group of supporters at that time, and we can just take advantage of this opportunity to recruit some wizards who are opposed to the mysterious man to join us."
"Well, it's like the anti-toad alliance we formed at Hogwarts." Fred continued, "This alliance both exists and doesn't exist."
"What do you mean?" Lu Ping asked, raising his eyebrows.
"That means we don't need them to do anything dangerous?" George explained, "After all, in the coming turbulent period, directly supporting Harry will be dangerous and prone to retaliation, but if you support Harry quietly,
With the benefits, it will not be easy for others to detect, and we can pass the message to other supporters through covert radio stations."
"According to Albert's prediction, we should still have one to two years. Even if it is one hour a week for one year, most people will not be too stretched in the defense against dark arts. At least they have accepted it at the Defense Association.
The students at Hogwarts, where Lee is trained, are better than most in Defense Against the Dark Arts."
"It sounds reasonable." Moody took another sip of wine from the bottle, "but I very much suspect that it's not that simple. Some things are more troublesome than you expected, especially if there is a charge."
"We can quote a higher price, and then use the Ministry of Magic to halve the cost as before, and everyone will have nothing to complain about." Kingsley is not worried about these issues. The cost of a few galleons is actually
It’s not expensive, and as long as your reputation is established, you don’t have to worry about no one coming to participate.
As far as he knew, the Defense Society that Harry had set up at Hogwarts was very good, and the entire Ministry of Magic's employees were poor in Defense Against the Dark Arts. This was more because no one taught them, rather than because everyone's skills were poor.
"Okay, since you think it's okay, I can also take some time to go over and help. I can just recommend our "Defense Express" to them." When Sirius saw Kingsley saying that it was okay, he stopped.
It’s confusing, after all, it’s only once a week, and it only lasts for an hour or two.
Just as Kingsley expected, the plan passed Scrimgeour's approval faster than expected.
"Once a week, in about a year, most wizards can ensure their personal safety." Kingsley was explaining the plan to Scrimgeour, "In terms of manpower, we can invite some retired Aurors to come back to them.
Lectures, plus some people from the Order of the Phoenix can also be provided."
"The Ministry of Magic can have Aurors or crisis response teams on duty there."
"Very good, I need you to make a more complete plan. You will be responsible for communicating with the Order of the Phoenix on this matter." Scrimgeour nodded and said, "When you go out, help me call Percy in."
After a while, Percy Weasley knocked on the office door and walked in,
"Minister, are you looking for me?"
"I have something for you." Scrimgeour handed a document to Percy: "Let's take a look at the contents first!"
"this……"
Percy's eyes widened in surprise.
"This matter will be kept secret for the time being. I will ask Fudge to cooperate with you." Scrimgeour reminded: "Don't let Fudge know about this plan."
"Is it really necessary to do this?" Percy asked doubtfully.
"Although I don't know what those dark wizards want to do, you should have noticed that those guys are constantly causing trouble for us." Scrimgeour intertwined his fingers and murmured, "I have a hunch that there is a big conspiracy waiting for us.
,So, we must be prepared.”
"Maybe, we should..."
"I will, but we can't always rely on them." Scrimgeour motioned to Percy to leave.
