Chapter 473 Tactical Retreat

The next day, all the little wizards who had joined the Defense Against Dark Arts team had no intention of playing in the castle or going to Hogsmeade.

They were waiting with full expectation for the arrival of eight o'clock in the evening. It would be the first time for them to follow Linn and Irina, two wizards with powerful magical powers, to learn Defense Against the Dark Arts.

Those little wizards in sixth grade and above are okay. They already have some magic that can be used for self-defense, and they have been taught by Professor Green and Professor Lupin, two qualified Defense Against the Dark Arts professors.

But those little wizards who were in fifth grade and below had high expectations for this gathering, even though they also had a qualified professor like Professor Lupine.

But when Professor Lupine taught them the Defense Against the Dark Arts class, they were still very young, which meant that they had not had time to learn the advanced magic knowledge, but only learned some useful Defense Against the Dark Arts. Getting started.

Therefore, in terms of actual combat ability, it can be said that there is a gap among these young wizards of different grades.

The time came to half past seven in the evening.

After Lin En and Irina enjoyed the dinner, they arrived in advance on the eighth floor opposite the tapestry where the troll beat Barnabas the fool.

Linn brought Irwin and Astoria, while Irina brought Harry, Ron and Hermione.

"Is there... really a place to practice magic here?"

Harry looked at the empty corridor in confusion and asked.

His doubts were also those of Ron, Hermione and Astoria, who all turned their attention to Lynn and Irina.

Lin En and Irina looked at each other, and finally Irina came over and introduced the Room of Requirement to several people, as well as the method of summoning the Room of Requirement.

While Irina patiently introduced, Linn walked back and forth three times across from the tapestry, thinking silently: "I need a place to practice magic, a place where I won't be discovered."

When Lin turned around for the third time, a very smooth-looking door appeared on the originally empty wall, with a copper handle on the door.

"This is it, let's go in first."

Linn greeted everyone.

Linn stepped forward, opened the door, and walked in first, followed by the others.

The Room of Requirement at this time was a spacious room with torches lit inside, just like the underground classroom of Hogwarts Castle.

There is a row of wooden bookshelves on the wall of the room. There are no chairs on the floor, but there are large satin cushions.

On the shelf at the other end of the room are various instruments such as looking glasses and secret detectors. These instruments are all alchemical creations, but they do not have much technical content.

Lynn, Irina and Irvine, who come to the Room of Requirement every now and then to practice, are fine. They have long been accustomed to the magic here. But when the four Harrys came here, it was like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden. Everything they saw seemed strange. .

Ron kicked the cushion on the ground and said in surprise: "These things are useful when practicing the coma spell."

Hermione excitedly stretched out a finger and ran it across the spines of the rows of thick sheepskin-covered books. She said overjoyed: "Look, these books! Common Spells and Solutions, Outsmarting Black Magic", "Self-Defense Spell Collection"... Wow!"

She looked back at Irina, her face lit up, and she said happily: "Irina, the place you chose is great. Everything we want is here."

Taking advantage of the fact that there was still less than half an hour before the meeting started, Hermione immediately pulled out a copy of "Fighting Fire with Fire" from the bookshelf, sat down on the cushion next to her and started reading.

Seeing Hermione so happy, Irina didn't plan to disturb her. Irina looked at Harry and Ron and said, "You go and wait outside. If any of our people come, just bring them in." .”

Hearing this, although Harry and Ron were a little reluctant, they still went out obediently.

Seeing this, Linn said to Irwin beside him: "Go and pick up people too, remember to bring the Marauder's Map with you."

Irwin nodded. He took out his copy of the Marauder's Map from his pocket. After gesturing in front of Linn, he walked out through the door he came from.

He needs to use the Marauder's Map to keep an eye on the movements of Umbridge and other young wizards who have not participated in the Defense Against the Dark Arts team to avoid exposing the Room of Requirement.

If a potential threat comes here, he must stop it from coming as soon as possible, or let Harry and Ron enter and cast a confusion spell on the corridor.

"I'm here to help, too."

Astoria volunteered as she followed Irwin out.

The time soon came to eight o'clock, and the little wizards who signed the magic contract at the Pig's Head Bar that day came to this room one after another under the guidance of Harry and the other four.

Fortunately, this room is spacious enough, equivalent to the size of two basketball courts. Even if there are more than 60 people in the room, it will not seem cramped.

After everyone came to the room and each found a mat to sit on, Irvine locked the door of the Room of Requirement and walked behind Linn.

Lin En told everyone about the Room of Requirement and how to use it.

After learning that a magical place like the Room of Requirement existed in Hogwarts Castle, exclamations filled the room one after another.

After a long time, the room gradually returned to silence.

"Before we start today's teaching, let us reiterate that our team is called D.A. Army. You can understand it as the Defense Against the Dark Arts team, or you can understand it as Dumbledore's Army, which is the most feared and feared Ministry of Magic. Whatever you think of it. "

"But our opinions must be unified, that is, we must unite and unify our stance, and we must not give outsiders any opportunities to take advantage of it. Therefore, even if the constraints of the magic contract do not include the Room of Requirement, I hope that everyone can include the Room of Requirement. Keep it a secret.”

"Okay, it's time to get down to business. I have always believed that the most important step in a battle is not to defeat the enemy, but to protect yourself. Even if you cannot defeat the dangerous enemy, at least you need to master the ability to A way to get yourself out of harm’s way and escape!”

Linn said calmly, waving the wand in his hand like a conductor's baton in an orchestra.

A blackboard appeared out of thin air in front of everyone, and white chalk words appeared on the blackboard, which read "Escape whole body."

"But, Lynn, isn't that just a deserter?"

Ginny Weasley asked, raising her hand.

Hearing this, Lin En chuckled and shook his head. He smiled and said: "No, I prefer to call it a tactical retreat!" (End of Chapter)
