Chapter 1333: long term strategy

"Neville, this way..." Dean waved at Neville.

"They say you're here for training!"

Neville stepped forward and gave Dean a big hug.

"Mr. Thomas, Mr. Longbottom will be counting on you." Dobby waited for the two to say hello before bowing slightly to them and preparing to leave.

"Thank you Dobby, leave him to me." Dean almost patted his chest to promise.

After the house-elf left, Neville began to look around, "Is this really the headquarters of the Defense Association?"

"Otherwise, where do you think we need such strict protection?" Dean seemed to see through Neville's thoughts, and explained with a smile, "This village is actually the most important place on the outskirts for our activities. It is protected by the Fidelity Curse, so it's normal for you not to be able to see it."

"The Loyalty Curse?"

Neville had heard the spell from Hannah, and was surprised that under such tight protection, there was another layer of protection.

"Mr. Thomas, have you told Mr. Longbottom a few things that need special attention when staying here?

A gentle voice suddenly sounded beside the two of them, and Shanna appeared out of nowhere at some point.

"I was just going to tell him about it." Dean stretched out his hand and scratched his head embarrassingly.

"What's the matter?" Neville was a little confused.

"Please come with me, there are some rules here that need to be followed." Shannah led Neville into the house protected by the Fidelity Curse

"Can I join the Defense Society now?" Neville asked in a low voice.

"Of course, the premise is that you are an adult."

Shanna led Neville to the office to go through the formalities of joining the Defense Association, while Dean waited outside for about ten minutes before seeing Neville, who looked very excited again.

Neville stuffed his pocket watch into his pocket and sighed softly, "I should have dropped out of school in the first place and come here for training."

"It's actually quite boring here." Dean said insincerely, "Every day is basically training besides training."

"Do you know how many people envy you for your formal training here?" Neville suppressed the urge to hit someone, and said to Dean, "Take me around."

"The houses here have been abandoned. Most of the people who stay at the headquarters temporarily live in tents.

Of course, you can also spend some time fixing those broken houses. Dean pointed to the restored old houses and said, "But there is no need to waste time. The food will be provided by the house elf Dobby and others. "

"But why is there no one here?" Neville asked his own question.

"Everyone should be training." Dean greeted with a smile, "I'll take you to the training ground, and you'll know why."

"this…"

Looking at the sloping downward entrance, Neville looked at Dean with some puzzlement and asked, "I thought..."

"Ordinary Death Eaters can't break through the protective magic on the outside at all, and they don't even know where this abandoned village is." Dean introduced some of the information he got here to Neville, "Of course, none of us actually know about this place. Where."

"Once the village is really breached by the mysterious person, the two safe houses protected by the Fidelity Curse will be our last refuge."

Through a somewhat dark passage, they came to a hall the size of a Quidditch pitch. Fred and George were organizing everyone to practice a duel. Although they were only using some conventional spells, the scene was extremely fierce and made people's blood boil.

"Would you like to try?" Dean asked with a smile.

"With you?" Neville asked.

"right."

"All right."

Neville agreed.

So, a minute later.

Neville, who was hit in the chest by the Obstructing Curse, fell heavily to the ground.

"are you OK."

"No wonder Cedric always talks about laying the groundwork."

Neville stretched out his hand to hold Dean's extended arm a little depressed, "It's great to be able to personally receive training from Mr. Anderson."

"No, there is no such good thing. Mr. Anderson also has his own affairs to be busy, and he is also the secret keeper here. Usually, only important parties will appear. Most of the time we have to train by ourselves." Dean grinned and recalled the recent incident. After a period of change, he sighed softly, "However, the atmosphere here is really good. Everyone will share their combat experience with each other, and there is plenty of time to practice duels every day. You will know when you stay here for a while."

"That's about the same as the school's DA party, but why is the gap so big?" Neville was still a little concerned about being easily defeated by Dean.

"It's different. The school can only be regarded as children's play."

Dean pointed to the few people who were training next to him and said, "This is the most basic combat training. As long as you complete the basic training, most ordinary wizards will no longer be your opponents."

"Well, many Death Eaters are actually included in ordinary wizards, so wizards who have completed basic training are much better than most dark wizards." Dean added, "You should have heard that they Use the dementors and dark wizards to train your opponents."

"If I also have that kind of power, I will definitely be able to drive Snape out of school." Neville couldn't help clenching his fists, still very concerned about this matter.

"How's it going at Hogwarts?"

Dean felt that Neville seemed to have misunderstood something, so he changed the topic so as not to hurt the other party.

"Not too good. Those Death Eaters like to use Veritaserum to make trouble for everyone. I originally planned to stay in the Room of Requirement and pretend to be missing." Neville and Dean stood by and watched the others practice. He was very envious of them being able to fluently use all kinds of magic to attack. Everyone in the training room seemed to be much stronger than him.

"That's impossible." Knowing what Neville wanted to do, Dean sighed and reminded, "Unless you defeat the mysterious man, it's useless to drive Snape away, they will come back."

"Mr. Anderson can't help it?" Neville asked a stupid question.

"Unless we start a war with the mysterious person in advance, but that doesn't make any sense." Dean said in a low voice, "At present, we are still secretly accumulating strength, waiting for the day when we will start a full-scale war with the mysterious person. Now there are more and more official members of the association, everyone It is also getting stronger and stronger, so don't worry, and wait slowly for the final decisive battle opportunity brought by Harry."

"Actually, I just wanted to ask. It seems that here are all students who graduated from Hogwarts not long ago." When Neville first entered the training room, he found that the members of the association were extremely young.

"I've asked similar questions before."

Dean smiled and explained to Neville with an expression that you were really curious, "They said that other members have more thoughts, and many of them don't have the courage to stand up against the mysterious person. People will join the Order of the Phoenix, you know, they generally have good fighting power, they don't need to be trained here.

"Can we join the Order of the Phoenix?" Neville knew that Harry joined the Order of the Phoenix, and he heard from his grandmother that his parents also joined the Order of the Phoenix.

"Of course, but I don't think it's meaningful, because the two parties have been cooperating. Fred and George are the connectors, and a lot of information is exchanged." Dean reached out and patted Neville on the shoulder, motioning him to follow up. .

The two are going to fight Lee Jordan together.

Such sparring can provide valuable melee experience for all three parties.

Amidst the shouts of the crowd, the duel between the three began.

Dean and Neville didn't have the advantage in numbers, especially after seeing that their spell was actually blocked by the black magic defense props, Neville's face was stunned for a moment, and then he was hit by the blocking spell Flying out, the remaining Dean was soon brought down.

"Don't be distracted during the battle." Dean reminded a little depressed.

"Isn't he cheating?" Neville muttered.

"It doesn't count, we are all fighting, who cares if you cheat or not." Dean shook his head vigorously, "We just need to defeat him without using black magic."

"Dark Arts are also taught here?" Neville was very surprised.

"Teach, but not much, because most black magic requires powerful magic power to support, and it may not be easy to use in a duel." Dean explained, "And we pay more attention to practice, and pay more attention to knocking down, subduing enemy."

"Remember, once most wizards lose their wands, they basically have no ability to resist." Dean reminded, "so after you defeat the enemy, remember to use the flying curse to disarm the opponent's wand. It's easier than killing them directly .”

"Have you killed many dark wizards?" Neville couldn't help but widen his eyes.

"I don't know, I'm not strong enough to go out with everyone." Speaking of this, Dean looked a little depressed, "I heard that they are planning the next operation, but unfortunately I am not qualified to participate."

"Sounds interesting."

Neville was interested in the Defense Society's actions against the Death Eaters.

"There are more interesting things. It's a pity that you came at an untimely time, otherwise you could experience the Imperius Curse training."

"what is that?"

Neville suspected he had heard wrong.

"It's the training to resist the Imperius Curse. Mr. Anderson will use the Imperius Curse on us, and we only need to resist the control of the Imperius Curse to qualify. Unfortunately, no one has successfully resisted it yet."

"Just like the fake Mad-Eye did when we were in fourth grade?"

Neville recalled that in the fourth grade, the fake Moody had trained in class to resist the Imperius Curse, and only Harry had successfully resisted it.

"Yes, it's difficult, but as long as you resist, you won't be easily controlled by someone using the Imperius Curse in the future. Everyone says that such an opportunity is rare, because both the mysterious man and the Death Eaters like to use the Imperius Curse to control other wizards. "

Dean had also participated in training against the Imperius Curse, for which he crawled around the ground several times like a dog.

"Aren't you practicing privately?" Neville couldn't help asking.

"No, when practicing black magic, Mr. Anderson will be present in person to prevent any accidents during the period." Dean explained, "Similar training is about twice a week, and the next time will probably be Friday."

"I may not be able to participate." Neville looked regretful.

"Why?"

"I need to go back to Hogwarts with Cedric and keep Dumbledore's Army going." Although Neville was a little depressed, he could understand that, in Shanna's words, at least Hogwarts needed to be kept alive. More than anything else, the students have the courage to stand up against You-Know-Who and Death Eaters.

"It seems that you have your own tasks just like us." After hearing what Neville said, Dean seemed to be in a good mood.

"What is your mission?"

"Responsible for the management of the shelter." Dean said, "In two days, Justin and I need to go over to replace Hannah and Susan, help watch the group of students who were expelled, and teach them defense against the dark arts by the way."

"It's okay over there. I stayed there for a day before I came here."

"Okay?" Dean had a strange expression.

"Is there a problem?" Neville asked puzzled.

"It was a mess at first, but thanks to Hannah, everyone was integrated into Dumbledore's Army." Justin reached out and patted Neville's shoulder lightly, "I thought you were at Hogwarts."

"I dropped out of school." Neville shrugged.

"He's only missing temporarily," Dean corrected.

"How is Hogwarts now?" Justin was a little curious about what Hogwarts managed by the Death Eaters looked like.

"not too good."

Neville repeated what he had just told Dean, and was shocked when he heard that Defense Against the Dark Arts had been changed to Dark Arts, and students in confinement were used to practice the Cruciatus Curse.

"Okay, it's almost time." Dean took out his pocket watch to check the time, and took Neville to the living room for dinner.

"The food here is much better than in the shelter." Neville looked at the house elf who was serving food for people, and was a little surprised at the variety of food here.

"Of course, if you like, there is also a simple afternoon tea."

The three of them each bought a portion of food, sat at the long table to enjoy it, and chatted about what happened during this time.

"By the way, do you have any news about Harry?" Neville asked curiously.

"Harry, I heard from Fred and George that Harry is also undergoing training recently, saying that he is practicing a very powerful spell with Professor Moody."

Speaking of this, Justin was very envious. It's a pity that they are still laying the foundation, and the spells they learn are all simple and practical.

If you want to learn more complex spells, you need to complete basic training, but if you want to complete the most basic training, it will take at least a year at the earliest.

"He should be preparing for the duel with the Nosedon!" Neville speculated, "It seems that the time for the two sides to officially start a war is not far away."

"No nose monster?"

Both Dean and Justin were stunned, and it took a moment to realize what Neville was talking about.

"That guy really has no nose." Cedric sat down next to the two and reminded him kindly, "You can't directly call him by his name here."

"I know," said Neville.

"You follow me these few days, and I will help you with emergency special training~www.NovelMTL.com~ Cedric continued, "Next, you need to follow me back and forth on both sides, the main focus is still on Hogwarts, Albert hopes that someone can guide the students to continue to muster up the courage to resist the mysterious person. "

"I know." Neville asked his doubts, "Why does Anderson value the students in the school more?"

"Because many adults are unreliable." Cedric's expression was very complicated, "Like the Aurors of the Ministry of Magic, they were supposed to stand with us against the mysterious man, but they chose to bow their heads to the mysterious man and become him. minions."

Speaking of this matter, the three of them were very angry about it, especially after knowing that Scrimgeour was killed by the mysterious man in order to protect the Aurors, they suddenly understood why Albert chose the young wizard.

"If this wizarding war continues, those members of Dumbledore's Army who graduated from Hogwarts will become our most reliable partners." Cedric explained, "So I hope you can spend more money on this matter." dessert."

"Leave it to me!" Neville assured, patting his chest.
