"That's a good idea Harry, I also think the D.A gathering should continue." Ron immediately agreed: "We have to learn some useful defense against the dark arts skills. What we teach in the Defense Against the Dark Arts class alone can't go far."
not enough."
"All right."
After Harry hesitated for a moment, he finally nodded in agreement.
"But I'm afraid you have to help me. I'm afraid I won't be able to do it alone."
"Hermione is good at this." After noticing Hermione's gaze, Ron added, "Of course, I will also help."
"We just need to maintain the D.A party from last semester, but this time we can't teach separately." Hermione was not worried about the party, "I will help you sort out the content and process then."
"please."
Harry breathed a sigh of relief. If he was alone, he really didn't know what to do.
"correct."
Ron seemed to remember something and suddenly said: "We'd better hurry up, the time is almost up."
"What's coming soon?" Harry asked confused.
"Don't you know?" Ron seemed very surprised.
"what do you know?"
Harry and Hermione both looked at Ron in confusion, waiting for the other person to tell them the answer.
"You'll find out later, there will definitely be a big surprise." Ron said pretending to be mysterious.
After the three of them returned to the Gryffindor common room, Ron asked Harry and Hermione to take a seat while he hurried back to the dormitory to get the radio.
"Oh, you mean the radio?"
After Hermione saw the radio, she guessed what Ron was referring to by surprise.
Since the Ministry of Magic jointly launched Defense Against the Dark Arts training, the radio channel will be used to broadcast Defense Against the Dark Arts knowledge, home precautions and safety tips to British wizards at eight o'clock every night.
"It's not the program you think, it's a more hidden radio station."
Ron took out a Knut from his pocket, carefully observed the content on it, then took out his wand and tapped the radio, whispering the row of Arabic letters under the galleons.
"Is this... a magic coin?"
Hermione recognized the Nat and looked up at Ron in surprise.
"Fred and George think your magic coin idea is good and will not easily arouse others' suspicion. They also gave us this radio." Ron grinned: "Of course, I think this thing is easy to get caught...
"
At this time, the voice on the radio interrupted Ron's words.
"Welcome to Wizard's Watch..."
"Wizard's Watch Station?" Harry looked at Ron in confusion. He knew that Sirius had broadcast on the Wizard's Watch Station before, but it didn't seem surprising to hear it now.
Ron made a shushing gesture towards the two of them, indicating to Harry and Hermione to continue listening to the radio.
"...Unfortunately, the current magical world is not as peaceful as everyone imagined. According to the latest prediction we received from the prophecy master Mr. Albert Anderson, in the next few years, the environment of the British magical world will become
Even worse, especially for wizards born in Muggle families, the situation will become even more difficult. I suggest that when you have time, you can study the "Self-Defense Guide" specially compiled by Mr. Anderson for you, so as to better improve your self-protection ability.
."
"I dare say that the Self-Defense Guide is definitely the best-selling book this year." Ginny sat down next to her with the brand-new "Self-Defense Guide" in her arms. "But Snape... in short... I feel...
Snape didn't seem to like it very much, and Colin even got into bad luck arguing with Snape over it."
"Rather than asking Snape to be the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, I think Dumbledore should invite Albert to be the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor." Ron muttered, "Let Albert teach us the "Self-Defense Guide"
, I dare say that the defense against dark arts level of the entire Hogwarts students can be greatly improved."
"I don't think it's possible, just because of the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor's curse..." Harry also became quiet after seeing Hermione make a shushing gesture towards them.
"...You don't need to complain about the Ministry of Magic. The mess left by the former Minister Fudge is really hard to clean up. I believe everyone can see that Minister Scrimgeour has tried very hard, but he still can't change the current situation. To be honest,
If the dangerous source of the mysterious man is not eliminated, it will be difficult for the situation to improve."
"However, there is also good news. Our master of prophecy believes that Harry Potter will usher in peace for us in the near future..."
"Ahem."
Harry felt embarrassed hearing this.
"I think he's right," Ginny whispered.
"...There is no need to question the authenticity of the prophecy, because Mr. Anderson helped the Ministry of Magic successfully break the conspiracy of the mysterious man not long ago, and severely damaged the minions of the mysterious man. Because of this incident, the Malfoy family is currently selling at a high price.
A reward is being placed on Mr. Anderson's life. Fortunately, Mr. Anderson seems to have foresaw this incident in advance and is currently staying abroad. He is very safe. Please don't worry."
"I thought that guy had returned to China." Ron was a little surprised and explained to the others, "Everyone thought he was the one who set the fire in the Malfoy house."
"Everyone?" Ginny asked confused.
"Sirius and everyone else in the Order of the Phoenix think so." Ron said what he knew and guessed, "I think Fred and George must know the whereabouts of Albert, but they don't tell them.
"
"There must be some reason."
"You should still remember the fire that burned down the Malfoy Manor!" Ron lowered his voice and said, "It is said that the devil's flame is a very dangerous black magic. The members of the Order of the Phoenix believe that only a few people have the ability to control the fire from spreading to
Outside Malfoy Manor, directly burn the surrounding area."
"Albert is one of them?"
Hermione had also discussed this matter with Harry and Ron, but she still didn't want to believe that Albert would do that.
If Albert really wanted to take revenge on the Malfoy family, there must be other ways.
"I think with Albert's character, even if he returns to the UK, he probably won't let anyone know." Harry always felt that the Malfoy family must have had their collective brains caught in the door, so they would spend Galleons to put a bounty on Albert's life.
.
On the radio, Sirius was still sharing the current situation with everyone, and reminded everyone that if they wanted to support Harry, they should do so in secret to ensure the personal safety of themselves and their families.
"This was suggested by Fred and George." Ron suddenly interrupted, "They felt that if they openly supported Harry, they would be easily retaliated by the Death Eaters, which would be a blow to those who support Harry.
It would be easier to gain than to lose, so it would be better for everyone to secretly support Harry and keep in touch privately through other means, just like the original anti-toad club."
"They seem to be being targeted by Death Eaters just because they are Albert's good friends." Ginny suddenly said, "The shops in Diagon Alley were temporarily closed at the end of August, and now Fred and George have gone into hiding.
Already."
"What should I do if the goods in the Defense Against the Dark Arts store are sold out?" Harry asked doubtfully.
"It seems that Dad will be responsible for handing it over." Ginny said, "As for the business in the store, it seems that they plan to use Owl mail order."
"It seems like someone is helping them distribute mail-order magazines."
While saying this, Hermione got a copy of the "Fun Home" mail-order magazine from somewhere.
"This..." Ron scratched his hair in embarrassment.
He actually helped distribute this stuff. Fred and George gave him and Ginny some galleons to help distribute the "Fun House" mail-order magazines.
After noticing the embarrassment on Ron's face, Harry probably guessed where these magazines came from, so he changed the topic and asked: "Hermione, do you know how to store Felixirs separately? I
It means that by turning the Felixir into pills like Albert did, the bottle of Felixir that Professor Slughorn gave me can be used 24 times."
24 times!
Thinking about it made Harry excited. Even if he couldn't use it himself, he could share it with others.
"Sorry Harry, there's nothing I can do for the moment. Maybe you can ask Sirius, they might have something to do." Hermione shook her head and said there was nothing she could do about it.
"Okay, I will."
Harry decided to use the two-way mirror to contact Sirius tonight.
The broadcast on the radio continued, this time it was Lupine, who was explaining to people how to rationally use a series of simple spells such as the Stunning Charm and the Disarming Charm to protect themselves. Half an hour passed in this way.
"It feels similar to the previous broadcasts...but it's much better than those broadcasts from the Ministry of Magic." Hermione changed her words after noticing Harry's gaze.
"At least, a lot of the content in it is useful, but a lot of it overlaps with the content in the Self-Defense Guide," Ron commented.
"You're right." Harry looked at Ron, "But what happened to the final Defense Against the Dark Arts package?"
"Oh, that one you're talking about seems to be the result of research by Fred, George and other members of the Order of the Phoenix. I don't know the specific details." Ron looked at Ginny and asked, "Do you know?"
"It seems to be a very detailed protection plan. It is said that it can help them escape."
"Why isn't it more popular?" Hermione was a little confused.
"If everyone knows it, it will be easy to leak it. If the Death Eaters know it, it will not be easy to take effect. So, they plan to leave this to Harry's supporters. After all, they are more likely to be targeted by dark wizards."
Ginny added, "I also heard that they might cooperate with Luna's father and contact each other by sending manuscripts to "The Quibbler." I don't know the specific situation, and Fred and George didn't say anything.
"
Harry, Hermione and Ron looked at each other, clearly unable to understand how they planned to use The Quibbler to keep in touch.
"Harry, I found you."
Katie walked quickly towards this side and handed the parchment in her hand to Harry, "You must be the captain, right? When are you planning to conduct the selection?"
"It's not decided yet," Harry said, taking the parchment, "but I don't think you need to participate in the selection..."
"Don't do that." Katie interrupted directly: "When Charlie was the captain, even if there were substitutes, he would try to be as fair as possible. If the captain always let good friends play, he would probably miss the ball.
The team was ruined."
Ron next to him suddenly felt very embarrassed.
"By the way, Angelina Books has contacted me and it seems that she has become the substitute Chaser for the Holyhead Harpies." Katie told everyone the good news.
"That's great."
Everyone is happy for Angelina's success.
"I think this path is not bad." Ginny didn't want to work in the Ministry of Magic in the future. That kind of life would be too boring.
"I think it's good too. If there weren't so many troubles, I might consider joining a Quidditch team after graduation." Harry also liked Quidditch.
"What's written on the parchment?" Hermione asked after Katie walked away.
Harry unfolded the parchment in his hand and recognized Dumbledore's handwriting at a glance:
Dear Harry:
I plan to start private lessons for you this Saturday. Please come to my office at eight o'clock in the evening. I hope you enjoy your first day of school.
