Chapter 1004： Self-Defense Guide

Late at night, the windows of the Gryffindor common room were still lit, and Harry Potter was sitting at the round table by the roaring fireplace doing his homework. He was a little sleepy. He covered his yawn and rubbed his sore eyes. He raised his hands and stretched out. Taking advantage of his spare time, he looked sideways at the pouring rain outside the window. Continue to pick up the quill, driven by schoolwork.

Being targeted by a toad this month, coupled with the hard training of the Quidditch team, rain or shine, has left Harry so little time to complete the homework assigned by the professors that he has to stay up all night to do his homework every day.

He inadvertently glanced at the scar on the back of his hand, which left a shallow mark due to repeated sentences with the punishment quill.

Fortunately, what happened to Umbridge recently was worse than him, which made Harry's original gloomy mood a lot better.

In order to further fight against Umbridge, Harry joined the Anti-Toad Alliance.

Yes, the rumored anti-toad alliance certainly exists.

Harry knew a long time ago who was bothering Umbridge.

Is this Albert Anderson's idea?

Or a Weasley Brothers trick?

Harry didn't know about it, but the truth didn't matter to him, what mattered was that Umbridge was punished.

Yes, Harry didn't feel any guilt for being so rude to Umbridge, and he never even thought he would be so hated and hostile to a person.

Pulling back his thoughts, Harry continued to bury his head in copying his homework. It wasn't until the early hours of the morning that he put away the homework on the desk and took out the Mortra rat tentacle pain reliever ointment provided by the Weasley Brothers from his pocket and smeared it on the back of his hand. In the past, the wound left by the punishment quill sometimes hurts. It is said that the white fresh extract is added to the pain relief ointment, which can avoid leaving scars as much as possible.

"Does your arm still hurt?" Hermione asked suddenly.

"Have you not gone to rest yet?"

Harry looked at Hermione, who was still sitting next to him, in surprise. Hermione used to go back to rest before the early morning. It was said that staying up late was bad for her skin.

"Hermione said she wanted to talk to you about something." Ron also dropped the quill in his hand, wanting to hear what Hermione was going to say.

"Hermione, just talk about it," Harry said calmly.

Hermione reckoned that she had something important to say, otherwise she wouldn't pick it at this time, no doubt that she didn't want others to hear the conversation between the three.

"What did Sirius say?"

Hermione's first sentence made Harry and Ron a little confused, obviously they didn't understand the meaning of the words, and Hermione seemed to realize it, and added, "I'm talking about practicing Defense Against the Dark Arts. "

"Oh, I contacted Sirius last night, and he agreed that I would stand up bravely against Umbridge." Harry understood Hermione's meaning and said with a smile, "Sirius also recommended an exercise for us. Great place for a spell."

"Where?" Ron asked.

"Screaming Shack," said Harry. "He thinks it's a good choice if you don't want Umbridge to notice. We take time out every week to practice magic at the Screaming Shack. If we have time, Sirius And Remus will also find time to teach us."

"Harry, if it's just the three of us, the Screaming Shack would be a good place, but..." Hermione's words were interrupted by a frowning Harry.

"Not just the three of us? Oh, you mean Fred, George, and Lee Jordan?"

To be honest, the Weasley twins are also very good at Defence Against the Dark Arts, they have trained Defence Against the Dark Arts with Albert before, and Harry even suspects that he can't beat one of them in a duel.

"I heard that their joke props are very popular." Ron felt that those guys were completely stealing money.

"It may not be just the three of us." Hermione explained with a light cough. "The original Defense Association was not small, and... I think most of the members of the Anti-Toad Alliance would be willing to participate."

"Hermione, I think you're joking." Harry glared at Hermione and said angrily, "I'm not Anderson, and I'm not as charming as him. How many people do you think would be willing to believe a weirdo like me, What's more, we don't have that much room to move around."

"Hermione, I think Harry is right." Ron echoed, "If you really want to reorganize the Defense Society, then you should let Anderson preside over it, only he has the ability to reorganize the Hogwarts students. stand up."

Both of them had previously thought that Hermione was going to set up a three-person Defense Against the Dark Arts team, but now it seems that Hermione is planning to reorganize the Defense Association.

Harry felt that if he did what Hermione did, he would probably be completely a laughing stock, after all, there were many students in the school who thought he was a liar.

"Besides, do you think Umbridge has no reason to lock me up?" Harry asked curiously.

"Harry, when are you afraid of Umbridge, if you want more people on your side..." Hermione was interrupted by Harry before she could finish her words.

"Hermione, I really don't know how to convince them, at least I don't think I have this ability." Harry was not optimistic about Hermione's plan, it was completely unrealistic.

If it's just a Defense Against the Dark Arts team, finding some good friends to communicate with each other and promote the level of Defense Against the Dark Arts is actually a pretty good proposal, but Harry feels that Hermione's "ambition" is a bit too big.

"Many people are willing to believe you, and I think you should give them a chance." Hermione said after a moment of hesitation.

"Give them a chance to see my jokes?" Harry laughed to himself. "Don't kid yourself, Hermione, you know what other people think."

"I think Harry is right. Take our dormitory as an example. Only Neville is willing to believe Harry." Ron stood on Harry's side, and he knew the attitude of the others.

"If you want to reorganize the Defense Association, you should go to Anderson, he's better at that," Harry repeated.

"He's not available, Harry," Hermione said helplessly. "And you don't have to be rude, you're also very good at Defence Against the Dark Arts, and this…"

"what is this?"

"Albert gave it to me." Hermione handed Harry the book.

Harry took the book and glanced at the silver imprint on it: "Guide to Self-Defense".

"A Guide to Self-Defense?" Ron asked suspiciously. "Is this a book written by Albert?"

"Yes, it's a Christmas present for me in advance. I've read it several times. It's in the spells we practiced in the Forbidden Forest last semester." Hermione explained to Harry: "It is said that this book also refers to Auror training, as long as you master the things inside, you can have some self-protection ability."

"A book written by Albert?"

Harry was a little surprised. He casually flipped through the "Guide to Self-Defense" and found that there were some very basic spells on it, and he had learned many spells, such as Iron Armor Spell, Disarming Spell...

"It feels normal."

Yes, Harry's first impression of this book was mediocre.

"Harry, this is just the most basic knowledge. As long as you read the whole book, you will gain a lot." Hermione could understand Harry's thoughts, because she felt the same way at first, but after reading the whole book , She found that she had not even learned the most basic things after five years of Defense Against the Dark Arts.

After reading it, Hermione even felt that this thing was more suitable as a textbook for Defense Against the Dark Arts than "Dark Forces: Self Defense Guide".

"I dare say that you don't even know the most basic spell casting techniques. As long as you master the knowledge in this book, everyone's self-defense ability will be greatly improved." After reading this book, Hermione admired it very much. Albert, she continued, "has recorded 66 spells in total, and taught everyone to deal with various situations."

"Is this book really that great?"

Ron also leaned over, wanting to read the books touted by Hermione.

"I feel normal."

Harry couldn't really see the genius of this book, he had mastered most of the spells in it.

"No, Harry, I think Hermione is right." Ron took it and flipped through it, then nodded and said, "This book is really good."

"real?"

"Harry, you feel ordinary because Sirius has tutored you. You understand a lot of things, so you naturally feel ordinary." Hermione reminded, "You have to turn to the back of the book."

"Okay, Hermione, I agree with you, can you lend me this book for a while?" Harry casually flipped to the back and found that it actually taught tracking and anti-tracking skills.

He had to admit that he really didn't understand this stuff, at least so far, no Defence Against the Dark Arts class taught it.

There are also teaching others how to use the phantom body spell, teaching others how to build a simple and safe temporary camp, and teaching various practical knowledge and skills.

Well, Harry admits that Defense Theory of Magic really only deserves to be in the trash compared to this book.

"I'm right, this book is very suitable as our teaching material."

"But we have nowhere to practice spells."

Harry flipped through the book again, and saw how to cast a spell on his house to protect his family from bad guests.

"If Umbridge finds out what we're going to do, I think she'd be happy to put everyone in confinement."

"We can form the prototype of the Defense Association first, and we can slowly find a place to practice magic." Hermione said excitedly.

"Can we ask Fred to borrow their room?" Ron suggested.

"I'm afraid not. I think Albert won't agree." Hermione shook her head and said, "Practicing magic may ruin the place. Fred and George have agreed to help find the activity room."

"Aren't you going to give up on that unrealistic idea?" Harry said, closing the book and looking at Hermione with a slightly raised eyebrow.

"You always need some support." Hermione said without thinking: "And there are some things that we need to learn from each other and improve each other."

"Okay, Hermione, tell me honestly what you want to do, I don't believe you just want to learn some magic." Harry looked at Hermione and asked seriously, "I see your reasons. It's ridiculous, if it's just the Defense Against the Dark Arts team, I believe that if you want, you can get a dozen or so."

Ron moved back and forth between Harry and Hermione, somewhat bewildered.

"Okay!" Hermione took a deep breath and said seriously: "The main reason is to learn more about how to protect yourself. But you should also know the current situation at Hogwarts, Umbridge does not It's unpopular, and she has been disgusting others recently. I think it's a good idea to provide other people with opportunities and to gather people who are willing to believe in you. It's not a good idea to fight alone, you need more supporters Harry, Let everyone be willing to believe in you, and I think you don't want to be isolated!"

"My plan is to start with the Anti-Toad Alliance." Hermione continued, "The Anti-Toad Alliance has nearly 100 members. I believe that some of them are willing to believe in you. I think they can combine with each other. Everyone was willing to participate, they were fed up with toads."

"Hermione, I think your thinking is naive," Harry said suddenly.

"What?" Hermione was a little surprised.

"Actually, there is a way to convince them all at once."

"any solution?"

"The whole thing, to put it bluntly, is about arguing about whether Voldemort is still alive." Harry pointed to the core issue, "For wizards who have never seen Voldemort resurrected, it is indeed a bit difficult to convince them of the cruel reality. so…"

"so?"

"Just let them face the harsh reality. Sirius told me that there is a stone basin in Dumbledore's office to present the memory in front of everyone. As long as others can watch the memory of Voldemort's resurrection, no one will doubt it anymore. Is Voldemort resurrected?"

Hermione opened her mouth, stunned by Harry's approach.

"You're right, UU reading but... will Dumbledore be willing to lend us the stone basin?" Ron actually wanted to see the scene of Voldemort's resurrection, "and, if it is possible, In that case, why didn't Dumbledore let Fudge watch your memory?"

"Because Fudge doesn't want to step down!" Harry sneered. "Whether he sees it or not, Fudge won't believe it. Once he admits that Voldemort is resurrected, he has to step down and get out."

"Then what?" said Ron.

"If you want to form a Defence Against the Dark Arts team, then do as I want." Harry said to Hermione, "If you want to believe, invite, and if you don't want to believe, just tell them what we're going to do. Instead of finding a reason to bring them here."

"But Harry, everyone..."

"I never felt like I needed anyone's approval, and I didn't want to take the time to convince anyone," Harry interrupted, "I don't want to be treated like a monkey in a zoo at all, and I don't think I can meet a group of people who want to see The guy I'm laughing at?"

"Sorry, maybe I'm going a little too far," Harry apologized to Hermione, "but I think Fred and George are right, you're really naive in some ways."

"Lend me this book for a while, I want to study the contents." Harry took the book and left.

"Hermione, are you all right?" Ron asked worriedly.

"Do you think my method is unreliable, too?" Hermione asked Ron.

"I don't know," said Ron, shaking his head, "but I just wanted to learn something useful, and Harry must have thought so too."
