·
He Dian Bai Kai Shui
"A duel should have a beginning and an end. This is the quality of a wizard."
Soul said softly to Zacharis Smith, who had a stiff body and a fixed expression. Then, he turned to the other young wizards who had already expressed admiration for him,
"I know the purpose of your coming here. This is also the first lesson I teach you. In the outside world, do not easily believe any words of a wizard who still holds a wand in his hand, including but not limited to admitting defeat, begging for mercy, and reality. It’s not a formal one-on-one duel with a referee and a medic present.”
The little wizards nodded in unison.
"Yes, Mr. Ebo."
"Okay, please, please those students here who know how to use magic spells to break the curse, please restore your friends."
The little wizards looked at me and I looked at you. Soon, several people ran out with wands in their hands and nervous expressions.
"Oh, by the way, I hope Mr. Smith can have more time to reflect on himself."
"This is the second lesson. In the outside world, never question a stranger at will. You never know if the stranger is preparing to take out his wand and give you a slap when you turn around and expose your back. Attack hard."
Hermione was one of the people who ran out to help break the curse. When she passed by Sur, she secretly gave him a thumbs up.
This one-on-seven one-sided duel was so effective that no one continued to question Sur's strength.
So, more than 20 little wizards stood obediently in front of Suer, showing respect to Suer as if they were facing the deans of various departments. Oh, except for Zacharis Smith, who only had his eyes rolling around, there were A few kind-hearted little wizards carried him into the queue and followed Sur's instructions without removing the curse.
"If I remember correctly, the curfew at Hogwarts should still be 10:30, right?"
"Yes, Mr. Ebo," one of the Weasley brothers said, "To be precise, Filch will start patrolling at nine o'clock."
"Sure enough, it's still the same as before." Suer nodded pretending to be nostalgic, "Is old Filch in good health?"
"It couldn't be better, sir." Another Weasley said immediately with a playful smile, "He can even chase us around the castle a few times."
Of course it's good. Although Filch is a squib and cannot use magic, he is a wizard after all, and there is magic in his body, so his lifespan and physical condition naturally follow the rules of wizards, which is much better than that of Muggles.
Coupled with the fact that he exercises every day, his body is much stronger than that of his peers.
"Every seven years, there are always a few students who give old Filch a headache. It seems that it is you this year." Soul smiled and looked at the Weasley brothers, "From the Weasley family?"
"Yes, sir, please allow me to introduce myself, I am Fred George." Fred bowed mischievously,
"I am George, George Weasley, and besides, he is Ronald Weasley, and our cutest and most beautiful sister, Ginny Weasley." George did the same.
"Hello."
Soul nodded in response, and Ginny blushed and shrank. Of course he knew these Weasleys, but in order to maintain his role, he had to act like he was meeting them for the first time.
"When you were at school, was there anyone who gave that old guy Filch a headache?" A dark-skinned boy raised his hand and asked.
"Yes, the man of the hour is a few years older than me." Soul turned his eyes to the young wizards and paused on Harry. "They are called the four most talented people in Gryffindor."
"James Potter..."
"Do you know my father?" Harry asked impatiently as soon as Soul said a name.
"Of course I do, but I know them, but they don't know me. I have seen them being scolded by Professor McGonagall from a distance. Speaking of which, you look really similar to James Potter. You must be Harry." ?" Soul shrugged.
Indeed, there is a generation difference~
Harry nodded, in response to Soul's last question, and then lowered his head in disappointment. Even though he was almost an adult now, he was still curious about what his parents' generation had done.
"Okay, let's get started. We don't have much time." Suer pulled out his wand and pointed at Smith, who had been petrified for a while, to lift the spell on him.
This child is just a mouthful and likes to show off his presence. A small punishment is enough.
Smith was about to fall to the ground as soon as he went limp. Fortunately, there was a little wizard beside him who had quick eyesight and quick hands to hold him up so that Smith would not be embarrassed again.
After a period of chatting, the overall atmosphere relaxed a little.
"Then, first thing, I hope you will choose someone who can be the person in charge. I can't guarantee that I can come here every time. I hope that this person can lead you to practice magic when I am not around. .”
"Oh, it doesn't mean anything else. It's just like the class monitor in a school in the Muggle world."
Everyone was stunned, you looked at me, I looked at you, and finally their eyes were focused on Harry, because the relaxed and freehand way Harry summoned the Patronus in the last gathering was still in their minds.
"It seems that you have made a decision." Suer smiled slightly, "Then, I ask you to take on the position of person in charge, Mr. Potter."
Harry looked confused, then quickly reacted and waved his hands.
"How can this work? There are so many people here who are better than me. Cedric, Hermione, they are all better than me."
However, although Harry made it clear that he was not qualified, after some discussions, Harry was put on the shelf and became the leader of the team.
"I suggest that we should have a name." Hermione raised her hand, "This can promote unity and strengthen the collective spirit, right? Also, I think we can get a badge or something like that, which can make it easier to notify the gathering. "
"What about the 'Anti-Umbridge Alliance'?" Angelina, who was possessed by Wood, immediately asked expectantly. She had been targeted very hard during this period, or in other words, their Quidditch team had been targeted by Umbridge. Qi Ai was very powerful, and several training applications were rejected. During this period, she was very angry.
"Or the 'Ministry of Magic Idiots' team?" Fred suggested.
Immediately afterwards, various names jumped out of other people's mouths, including--'Umbridge should be thrown into a big turd egg', 'Umbridge is a big idiot' and other names with personal meanings. The name of the emotion.
Obviously, these names are unreliable and impossible to pass.
Until Cedric's girlfriend Qiu came up with a name--'Defense Association (Defense Association)'.
"The abbreviation may be 'd.a'."
Everyone chewed for a while, and most of them nodded in unison the next moment, saying that the name was good. Only Fred and George still insisted that their names were more suitable.
"Oh, da?" Ginny shook her head, "Dumbledore's Sarmy, the abbreviation of this name is also da. How about we change the full name to Dumbledore's Army Commander?"
As in the original novel, the name Dumbledore's Army was recognized by everyone, including George and Fred.
Oh Legion, that's really cool, isn't it?
Just when they were all saying that this name was really cool, Suer, who had been quiet for a while, spoke up. He knew the subsequent development of this name...
"The Defense Society is a good name, but Dumbledore's Army is probably not a suitable name, Miss Weasley."
Everyone showed expressions of incomprehension and looked at their new teacher in confusion.
"Why? Mr. Abbot?" Ginny asked immediately.
"At other times, the title Dumbledore's Army might be a great and cool title, but in the current situation, it is not so appropriate and can easily give other people a bad impression. Or to be precise, I gave you the label of 'Dumbledore'."
"According to what I have learned during this period, the purpose of the Ministry of Magic sending Umbridge to the castle to be the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor has become obvious. She was sent by Fudge to keep an eye on Dumbledore, or rather , surveillance is a more appropriate description.”
"So, what is the Ministry of Magic's biggest concern in a situation like this?"
"Are you worried that Dumbledore will use Hogwarts to build an army loyal to him?" Under Sule's persuasion, Cedric, who had a more flexible mind, immediately responded and raised his hand.
"That's right, Mr. Diggory." Soul nodded, "In other words, when you are talking about this matter outside, if other caring people hear the name 'Dumbledore's Army', they will give it to Dumbledore." Causes a lot of trouble.”
"That makes sense..." said a Ravenclaw wizard. "This is very possible. During the summer vacation, I heard a few words when my father and my mother were chatting. Fudge has recently been thinking of ways to target Deng Xiaoping. Bumbledore, the de facto leader of an army of underage wizards, could very well serve as evidence for Fudge to attack Dumbledore and even expel Dumbledore from Hogwarts."
"Is it that serious?" Ginny blinked in surprise.
"In fact, it may be much more serious than you think." Soul nodded seriously. "According to what I know, Fudge and Umbridge are probably planning to expel Dumbledore from the campus."
Hermione immediately understood what Soul meant, "Then we must not give Umbridge any clues! Then, the name will be - 'Defense Against the Dark Arts Association', the abbreviation is 'd.a', everyone Agree?"
After Su'er's analysis, everyone naturally nodded in conviction.
So, Hermione took out the piece of parchment, wrote Defense Against the Dark Arts Association, brackets da, at the top, and pasted it on the wall.
"Okay, then the most important thing for us now is class. Can we start? Mr. Ebo."
"Of course." Suer nodded, faced everyone's expectant expressions, pulled out his wand, and smiled.
"Before that, I need to ask you, what is the most important thing for a wizard?"
"Relax. You don't need to raise your hands to answer like in class. Everyone can express their own opinions. You go first, Mr. Diggory."
"I think the rational distribution of magic and the rational use of magic are the most important during the battle." Cedric summarized the duel with Sur just now and gave a final answer.
"It makes sense, what else?" Suer nodded, without saying whether it was right or wrong.
"Extensive combat experience?" Fred said.
The little wizards all expressed their understanding. Suer always smiled and nodded in approval, but did not speak.
until---
"Mr. Ebo, I think----the wand---the wand is the most important---" A chubby boy blushed and said the answer that Sur wanted to hear.
"Yes, if this is a formal class, I will definitely give you extra points for your answer. Can you tell me who you are?" Suer fully assumed the current role and performed perfectly, treating everyone Very strange.
"Neville, Neville Longbottom." Neville was still blushing, but it could be seen from his eyes that he was not shy now, but in a state of excitement.
"I'm very happy that someone has realized that a wizard's most basic and most important equipment." Suir nodded to show his appreciation for Neville, and then looked at the others.
"The magic wand is something that everyone knows but subconsciously ignores. The most important point is that a wizard without a magic wand will even be killed by a flying stone."
"But ---" Cedric disagreed and immediately retorted, but he was interrupted by Soul before he could finish speaking.
"I know what you're going to say, Mr. Diggory. You're trying to say that wizards can cast spells without a wand, aren't you?"
Cedric nodded.
"But you have to know that wandless casting is a very profound magic skill with very demanding requirements. It is a skill that surpasses silent casting and few people can master it. Of course, this is not absolute. According to I know that there are many wizards who can cast household spells without a wand, but very few can cast offensive spells without a wand."
"Furthermore, casting a spell without a wand does not mean that your magical effect will be very powerful. On the contrary, without a medium, it will have a much weaker effect than if you held the wand and used the same magic."
"Besides, usually the wizards you meet in the outside world are just helpless Muggles without their wands."
"Therefore, there is no doubt about the importance of the wand."
Everyone showed a thoughtful expression.
"Do you still have questions? Classmate Digory?" Suer smiled and turned to look at Cedric who asked the question.
"No more, sir." Cedric nodded immediately.
"Then what magic are you going to teach us? Mr. Ebo?" Fred asked eagerly.
"A very simple, basic, and very practical magic." Suer smiled slightly, "A magic that you all know."
"Disarming Curse."
"Disarming spell?"
This is indeed a very basic magic that almost all students know. Some people immediately asked back, with a taste of doubt.
More people were surprised. Unexpectedly, the first magic they were going to practice was a basic spell that they were already familiar with. They were talking quietly.
Because of Sur's fighting performance just now, they did not follow the questions of those who moved their mouths faster than their brains.
"I know what you think."
"But have you really learned the disarming spell?"
Soul said softly to Zacharis Smith, who had a stiff body and a fixed expression. Then, he turned to the other young wizards who had already expressed admiration for him,
"I know the purpose of your coming here. This is also the first lesson I teach you.
