"Okay, let's get started, and there will be a lot of time for you to visit in the future." Aiwen said, clapping his hands to signal everyone to gather, "I discussed with Hermione, there are a few things that need to be confirmed before the study starts a bit."
"First of all, the leader of this activity group." Hermione said, "it must be clear..."
"It goes without saying that it must be Aiwen, we are all here to learn magic from him."
"Yes, Ivan is the leader."
"I support Ivan!"
"That's right, but I think we should have a formal election!" Hermione said calmly, "In this way, he can be officially authorized, so that there will be no problems in the future, so, whoever thinks that Ivan should be our leader, please raise your hand! "
All raise your hands, there is no doubt about this.
"Thank you!" Ivan said, "I am going to let Harry and Hermione be my deputy, responsible for the daily management of this group. As you know, I usually have a lot of things to do. Apart from management work, Harry and Hermione have When you are not free or busy, the two of them can help everyone learn magic instead, do you have any opinions on this?"
There was a chatter in the crowd, and in all fairness, Hermione and Harry could do the job.
Hermione has read a lot of magic books and has excellent academic performance. Harry's excellence in Defense Against the Dark Arts is obvious to all. He has fought many terrible enemies. If Aiwen is not there, the two of them are undoubtedly the best candidates.
But the problem now, since Ivan is the leader, and Harry and Hermione are becoming his deputy, fully accepting the management of this group, then they are all Gryffindors, and the students of the other two colleges have no idea about this Hesitant.
Finally, after discussing the results, Harry, Hermione, Michael and Ernie became Ivan's deputy.
They are each responsible for the personnel management of their own colleges, notifying them of the time of activities and what they need to do, and urging and helping everyone to practice magic. Aiwen will provide individual tutoring for the four of them to ensure that they know more.
"Okay, now that the leadership is confirmed, I think we should have a name." Hermione said clearly, "This can promote unity and strengthen the collective spirit, right?"
"Can it be called the Anti-Umbridge League?" Angelina asked expectantly.
"Haha, or is the Ministry of Magic a team of idiots?" Fred suggested.
"It's not bad that Fudge is an idiot!"
"How about eliminating the Ministry of Magic and Toad?"
"Wait a minute, we have to make one thing clear. Although our biggest enemies are Umbridge and the Ministry of Magic." Ivan said, "But we are not really planning to overthrow the Ministry of Magic, so we can't make such a special decision." A reactionary name."
"Well, I think!" said Hermione, frowning. "It's better that the name doesn't make it obvious what we're doing, so we can safely refer to it outside."
"How about the Defense Association?" Cho said. "DA for short. No one knows what we're talking about."
"You came up with us, DA is good, it can also mean Dumbledore's Army."
"That's a great name, that's what the Ministry of Magic and You-Know-Who fear most, isn't it?" Ginny agreed.
There was a murmur of approval and laughter as everyone thought the DA was a great idea.
Ivan thought about it before, and finally felt that DA is a good choice. It can be called the Defense Association according to the theme, or it can be interpreted as Dumbledore's Army. It is a pun. The appeal and cohesion of the principal are indispensable in the magic world. Doubtful.
If another name is used, others may not understand what it means when they hear it. It is far less touching than Dumbledore's Army. I believe that whether it is Fudge or Voldemort, they will be surprised when they hear this name.
Therefore, Ivan did not object, and naturally supported the name of the organization as DA.
"Very good, do you all agree with DA? If you agree, please raise your hand?" Hermione asked like a host, while kneeling to count the heads. "It seems that most people agree, so this resolution is passed."
She pinned a note with everyone's name on it to the wall, writing at the top: Dumbledore's Army.
Chapter 983
"What are we going to do next?" Colin asked, knowing that Ivan and Hermione had prepared for a long time.
"The leader and the name are all there, so the next step is to determine the purpose of the organization?"
"That goes without saying, of course it is to learn magic, to resist Umbridge and the Ministry of Magic!"
"Not exactly!" Aiwen said, "As I said just now, we do not intend to fight against or conspire to subvert the Ministry of Magic. We are not that kind of organization. Our main purpose is to learn magic and improve everyone's own strength."
"But you have to do something?" Fred said, "otherwise what's the use of getting stronger?"
"Well, everyone knows that Dumbledore is the headmaster of Hogwarts and the greatest white wizard in the world. Since the name of our organization is Dumbledore's Army, the only purpose is to fight against those who threaten Hogwarts. To fight the enemy, all kinds of evil, to bring them down, to protect Hogwarts, to protect the people we want to protect, that's what we're here for."
"Ai Wen and I drafted a charter. You can take a look and see if you have any comments." Hermione said, took out a piece of parchment full of words and passed it out. The writing on it was very simple, mainly about Ai Wen These points.
Dumbledore's Army is both an army and not an army.
Every student who joins the organization is to learn enough strength to protect the people they want to protect and to protect Hogwarts from harm.
Whether it is directly defined as resisting Umbridge and the Ministry of Magic, or against Voldemort, it is too paranoid. It is far inferior to protecting Hogwarts. In the eyes of everyone, Hogwarts is not just a school. Its significance is extraordinary.
Aiwen hopes that this organization can exist for a long time, just like the Quidditch teams or student unions of various colleges, it will become the most important permanent organization of Hogwarts, and every member is proud of it.
Therefore, he originally wanted to call it something like "Hogwarts Defense Force", but it is easy to be confused with "Earth Defense Force", and it is indeed not as suitable as DA, which has more meanings in it.
The charter was finally passed back to Hermione, and after making sure that everyone had no objections, Hermione pinned it next to the list.
"Well, our current main task is to recruit more members and improve their strength." Aiwen said, "Because everyone's basic level is different, many members are still freshmen in the first grade, it is impossible to learn magic together. So I suggest to divide into two different study groups, one group will conduct fighting training directly, I will teach you some more powerful and dangerous magic, and the other group will focus on learning basic dueling spells first, I will give you the current levels are tested.”
"How to do it?"
"Well, Hermione and I drew up a list before, which includes more than 40 basic dueling spells such as removing your weapon, fainting, and obstacles. Use these magics." Aiwen explained, "If you can use them proficiently, you can enter the advanced group and learn advanced magic."
Although I didn't expect too much, Ivan was a little disappointed by the final test results, and everyone performed poorly.
Except for Hermione, none of the others could cast all the basic spells on the list proficiently. Needless to say, those lower grade students did not perform well, and many senior students did not perform well. Neville could not even use the disarming spell well.
And he wasn't the only one, the other students who were able to cast the Disarming Charm were also slow or wrong many times.
To be honest, Ivan was really worried about the teaching situation of Defense Against the Dark Arts at Hogwarts.
It can be inferred from this that the actual level of the entire wizarding world is no wonder that many wizards are terrified when they hear the news of Voldemort's return. They can't even master the disarm spell. How can they fight Voldemort and Death Eaters? !
"It's really necessary to start with the basic skills, isn't it?!" Ai Wen said, admitting that he overestimated everyone's strength, thinking that they were all similar to Hermione, "Well, we won't be in groups anymore. Mainly to practice the Disarming Curse."
"Oh, please, I've already learned this spell!" Zacharias folded his arms and said with wide-eyed eyes, "I don't want to learn it again with these low-grade students, and I want to dispel your weapon against the mysterious man." It doesn't work, does it?"
"Do you really think so?" Ivan asked, "Harry used it on Voldemort."
"Yes, it saved my life!" said Harry quietly. "I fought Voldemort with the Disarming Charm."
Zacharias opened his mouth blankly, and the room was silent.
"And do you think you have mastered the Disarming Curse?" Aiwen asked, taking out his wand, "Is your speed fast enough? We can have a competition, if you can knock my wand into the air, you can How about practicing it?"
"I..." Zacharias opened his mouth, not knowing what to say, he is definitely not Ivan's opponent.
There was no need to compare, the outcome was already decided, and so many eyes were on him, which made him very uncomfortable.
"We'd better start practicing now and learn this basic spell as quickly as possible." Aiwen said, giving instructions, "I will explain the principle and casting skills of this spell in detail, as well as the points that need attention, and then everyone Divide into two groups to practice. First of all, everyone knows that the disarming spell is a spell to disarm you. When you cast it on the opponent in a duel and hit the opponent successfully, the opponent's wand will fly into your hand and obey You, this is important, because the wand chooses its own master, and if its master is..."
Aiwen spoke in great detail, many of which were not taught by the professors in class.
Not to mention Zacharias, who was a little disdainful, in the end, even Hermione listened carefully to Ivan.
What he said was not limited to the Disarming Curse itself, it involved various aspects, including many fields of magic.
And according to Ai Wen's conclusion, the Disarming Curse has three different casting techniques, and the effects of using them are also different. Depending on the weapon held by the opponent, you can choose different casting techniques, but the most common one is against the magic wand. .
Aiwen's requirement for everyone is to cast the Disarming Curse as quickly as possible, and at least compress it to less than two seconds.
He can do instant casting now, just by waving the wand and making specific actions, instead of holding up the wand and chanting the spell once.
That would be pretty stupid, especially if you're still using such basic spells.
Not everyone is like Harry and can use the Disarming Charm against Voldemort...
Chapter 984 First Practice
In addition, students above the fifth grade have already begun to be exposed to silent casting.
This is a skill that must be mastered in the ordinary wizard level exam, and it is also a very practical dueling skill. Aiwen encourages them to use this skill to practice the Disarming Curse.
Then, everyone started to form a team on their own. Not surprisingly, Neville was left alone, and Harry volunteered to help him practice.
"Okay, listen to me counting to three, and do it!" Ivan shouted, "One, two, three!"
Suddenly, there was the sound of disarming your weapon in the room, and the wand flew around.
The misspelled spell hit the books on the shelf, and the books flew into the air.
Unlike the spells I used just now, this time is different, many spells are used in a mess.
Quite a few were unable to disarm their opponents at all, only to make them jump back a few steps or flinch.
Or, weak spells whistling over their heads, the accuracy is really poor.
It was the same with Harry and Neville. Harry was quick and cast the spell immediately. Neville's wand flew out in a whirl, hit the ceiling, sparks flew everywhere, and then fell to the top of the bookshelf with a clatter, and Harry flew away. Lai curse took it back.
When the next time came, Harry didn't cast a spell, didn't dodge, and let Neville attack him.
"Dis-disarm!" Neville shouted, and the next second, Harry's wand flew out of his hand.
"It worked!" Neville said happily. "Never before. I made it. I can't believe it!"
"You did a good job, Neville, next time you wave your wand more vigorously, and your attitude is more decisive, I think the effect will be better." Aiwen said, pointing out the shortcomings, Neville is mainly too hesitant, "By the way, you can practice with Hermione and Demelza first, and I will have a few words with Harry."
Amidst the noise, Ivan and Harry came to the corner of the room.
"Harry, what happened to you and Ron just now?" Ivan asked, "Is the scar hurting?"
Reluctantly, Harry recounted the fact that he could sense Voldemort's emotions, emphasizing that Voldemort was angry because Dumbledore had thwarted his plans, and the vampires had gone awry.
Aiwen was very interested in this information.
However, what Harry felt was not real. If he wanted to know the specific things, he needed to start with Sirius and ask him what happened and why Voldemort was so angry, but Sirius hadn't contacted them for a long time.
Also, Harry can no longer feel Voldemort's mind, it's playing with fire.
But Harry didn't care about Ivan's warning at all, and Ivan could only ask him to tell himself as soon as possible next time no matter what he saw.
Almost, Voldemort should have sensed this, almost time to validate his connection with Harry.
There was a good chance something big was going to happen recently, and something Harry could see clearly.
Ivan remembered that in the original book, Mr. Weasley was attacked in the middle of the night. If Harry hadn't warned him, he might have died in the Ministry of Magic.
But this time, he had already killed the big snake, and it couldn't attack Mr. Weasley.
Unless, Voldemort finds another snake as a pet.
He wasn't sure if this kind of thing would happen again, or become something else.
In this case, in order to be safe, Ivan felt that it was better to let Harry slow down learning Occlumency, even though he hadn't made much progress in the first place.
Ivan returned to the center of the room, and Harry started to help Neville practice again.
Something strange happened with Zacharias Smith, every time he opened his mouth to disarm Anthony Goldstein, his own wand flew out first, and Anthony didn't seem to make a sound.
Ivan immediately saw Fred and George not far from Zacharias, and the two took turns pointing their wands at his back.
"I'm sorry!" Seeing Ivan's gaze, George said hastily, "I can't help it."
Ai Wen walked around, trying to correct those who did wrong.
First-year students generally do not do very well, but they study very hard and practice hard.
Compared with them, the attitude of others is very poor!
Ginny was paired with Michael, and she was doing fine, but Michael just wouldn't say the spell on her.
The brain circuits of people in love are always different from normal people, and they always want to prove themselves in such small things.
Ai Wen didn't say anything, he just felt the need to separate the two people.
In addition, Ernie is always waving his wand unnecessarily and doing fancy movements, so that the opponent can take advantage of it.
This kid wants to be handsome, as if he is really engaged in a fight that attracts worldwide attention...
His practice subject was a second-year Hufflepuff from whom he had learned nothing at all.
Or, only the wrong movements are learned, and they must be taken apart.
Colin and his younger brother are very enthusiastic and practice very seriously.
But both of them's skills were not stable, and their sense of direction was too poor. Most of the books flying off the nearby shelves were due to them.
The two of them can't continue to be together, they can't help each other at all, they can only continue to destroy the magic books around them.
Like them, Luna is capricious.
Sometimes it made Justin's wand spin and fly, other times it just made his hair stand on end.
A bit outrageous once, actually let his clothes fly out.
The most outrageous thing is probably Qiu and her friend Marietta. During the test just now, Qiu performed very poorly, not at all like a senior student should have, and many basic spells have been forgotten!
