Harry Potter and the Secret Treasure

Page 440

"But..." Ron hesitated for a long time before continuing, "But she's a Slytherin!"

"As long as you are willing to stand up against Voldemort, I think it is on our side." Ivan said, "Slytherin is also a part of Hogwarts. Not all Slytherins support Voldemort."

Judging from the expressions of Harry and Ron, they didn't take Ivan's explanation seriously.

At this moment, the door of the bar opened, and a thick, dusty ray of sunlight split the room in two, and then disappeared again, blocked by a large group of people rushing in.

Neville, Dean, and Lavender came in first, followed by Parvati and Padma Patil, and Cho and one of her chattering girlfriends, and then alone, looking Dazed, as if Luna walked in inadvertently, she stood at the door for a long time to get used to it, and seemed to realize what was going on.

Behind her are Katie, Alia and Angelina from the Gryffindor team, and this year's new substitute, Demirza.

Because of the training during this period, she is now very familiar with Harry and Ron.

And then there's Colin's younger brother Dennis, a very shy little boy who seems intimidated by the Hog's Head pub outfit.

With him were the Frobishers, apparently well dressed.

A few seconds later Ernie and Justin from Hufflepuff arrived, followed by Hannah.

There is also a Hufflepuff girl whose name Ivan can't name, with a long braid dragging on her back.

Then there were three Ravenclaw boys named Anthony, Michael and Terry, and Ginny, who probably had been notified by Ginny.

Unlike several others, Ginny is very popular in school and knows many people.

Behind her was a tall, thin, yellow-haired boy with an upturned nose. He held hands with Ginny, as if he was a member of the Hufflepuff Quidditch team, but Ivan couldn't remember the name of the other party. Name up.

Judging from the hand-holding action between the two, it seems that the relationship with Ginny is not that simple...

At the end were Fred, George, and their friend Lee Jordan, all three carrying large paper bags full of things they bought at Zoko's Joke Shop.

Chapter 968 Doubt

"All the people are here, and there are still a few who can't come today, just let them know the result of the discussion."

"Well, there are more people than expected. It seems that this idea is very popular." Hermione said happily.

"Yeah, everyone wants to learn magic from Ivan."

"Thank God, the Slytherin girl didn't come!" Ron looked at the crowd, seemingly relieved.

Ivan also invited Astoria with the attitude of giving it a try. He believed that Slytherin should not be divided separately in terms of improving strength against Voldemort and evil gods. This academy is not all dark wizards or useless. Rescue the bad guys.

Salazar Slytherin was a great wizard, and so were the students who carried his will.

Not to mention, Astoria has a great personality, and unlike traditional Slytherins, she's not a fanatical supporter of the pure-blood theory.

But if she doesn't come, Ivan can understand, after all, she still has to consider the eyes of other people around her.

Not everyone has the courage to be an "alien", especially in the "cruel" environment of Slytherin.

"Don't stand there stupidly, let's quickly move some chairs over."

In the Pig's Head Bar, students came in one by one. Aberforth was wiping a glass with a dirty rag that seemed to have never been washed. Seeing this scene, he couldn't help being stunned. His bar probably never So many people have been here.

"Hey, Boss!" said Fred, walking to the bar first and quickly counting his companions. "Excuse me, can we have 27 butterbeers?"

Aberforth glared at him for a moment, then dropped the rag angrily, as if he had been interrupted in the midst of something very important, and began reluctantly taking bottles of ashes from under the bar Dusty butterbeer.

"Thank you!" Fred said, passing the beer to everyone. "Everyone contribute some money. I don't have the money to buy so much."

A large group of chattering people took the beer from Fred and fumbled for coins in their robes. They seemed to be on an outing. Everyone was excited and full of curiosity, except for Luna, who was alone in a daze. .

After everyone sat down in their chairs, their voices gradually calmed down, and their eyes were fixed on Ivan and Harry.

Ivan was fine. Harry's mouth suddenly became very dry. Qiu just smiled at him and sat on Ron's right.

Her friend, the girl with reddish-blonde curly hair, didn't smile, but looked at Harry with complete distrust, and then glanced at Ivan with the same look, the expression on her face seemed to be It was clear and accurate that, if she had her own way, she would never have come here at all.

"I don't need to say more, I think everyone knows the purpose of coming here today!" Aiwen said, seeing Aberforth glaring at them angrily behind the bar, as if they were having an illegal party, Meng Dungers also moved his body forward.

"Ewen, I heard that you want to teach everyone magic?"

"That's right!" Hermione replied directly, "As you all know, Ivan is going to teach you Defense Against the Dark Arts and learn some real skills, not the pile of rubbish that Umbridge taught us. If you don't have an opinion..."

"I have no opinion at all, what you said is great!"

"That's right, no one would call that thing Defense Against the Dark Arts!"

"I believe in Ivan's strength, just look at what he has done."

"We have asked Ivan to teach us magic before, and he taught us very well."

"Well, what Ai Wen and I mean is to carry out formal training, so that everyone can learn how to effectively protect themselves, not only to learn those theories, but also to get in touch with actual combat and conduct real combat training." Because of the enthusiastic response of everyone, Hermione's voice suddenly became firmer and more righteous, and she took a deep breath before she finished speaking, "Because Voldemort is back!"

As expected, as soon as she finished speaking, everyone's reaction was immediate.

Cho's girlfriend screamed and splashed butterbeer on herself; Terry Boot twitched involuntarily; Padma Patil shivered; for coughing.

But they all looked at Ivan, Harry, and Hermione eagerly, even eagerly.

"That's the plan, and that's why I called for the formation of such an organization." Ivan followed Hermione's words, "If you want to join, we need to decide what we will do in the future. Besides Ivan, Harry... ..."

"Wait a minute, what proof do you have that You-Know-Who is back?" the yellow-haired Hufflepuff asked aggressively.

After entering the Hog's Head Bar, he let go of Ginny's hand, but sat down next to her.

Ginny seemed a little unhappy. The other party seemed to forcibly touch her at the door of the bar just now, and pulled her hand in front of so many people. She shook the other party's hand away as soon as she entered the door, but she did not refuse the other party. Sit next to yourself.

"Oh, we have talked about this topic many times!" Ai Wen said, not wanting to continue explaining.

"Yeah, Dumbledore also believes..." Hermione was interrupted before finishing her sentence.

"You want to say, Dumbledore believes you?!" The yellow-haired boy said, raising his chin and nodding at Ivan and Harry, "But that's not what was said in the Daily Prophet. Said you were lying."

"Who are you?" Ron asked very impolitely, and he was not pleasing to the eye from just now.

Glancing at Ivan, he also saw that the kid went directly to shake Ginny's hand.

If there weren't too many people here, he must go up and ask what's going on.

"Zacharias Smith," the boy said, "I admit that Mason is very strong and has done a lot of things, but before I learn any martial arts with him, I think we have a right to know why on earth you say The mysterious man is back?"

"Attention!" Hermione frowned slightly, and quickly interjected, "This is not what this meeting is about."

"And I don't want to continue talking. Since last semester, Harry and I have taken the trouble to explain many times." Ai Wen said, "In my opinion, this didn't help much, but just satisfied over and over again." your curiosity."

"People have the right to know the truth. When you and Potter disappeared at the bottom of the lake, where did you go and what did you do?" Zacharias said to himself, as if he didn't hear what Ivan and Hermione said, "tell Us, why do you say You-Know-Who is back? Also, why did Cedric change schools? What did you do to him, where is he now? Potter said a while ago that he became a vampire, what's going on? "

Chapter 969 Persuasion and Protection

His series of questions changed the atmosphere suddenly, and everyone seemed to be holding their breath.

Even Aberforth was listening, and he kept wiping the same glass with the dirty rag, making it even dirtier.

"What is the truth?" Zacharias asked proudly, looking at Ivan provocatively, as if asking him if he dared to say it.

"The truth is that Voldemort is back, and Harry and I saw him come back with our own eyes!" Ivan said, looking directly at Zacharias, "Dumbledore told the whole school what happened last school year, including Sedri If you don't believe him, you won't believe us either, Harry and I don't want to waste another afternoon convincing others to believe us."

"Yes, I don't want to talk about the situation at that time." Harry said, "Dumbledore has made it very clear!"

"Hmph, last semester Dumbledore actually didn't say anything, only one result, he didn't tell us the specific details, he didn't tell us what happened to Digory." Zacharias said contemptuously ,"I really want to know……"

"That's enough. I think he didn't let you know the specific situation because you don't have the corresponding strength. Knowing more is nothing but to satisfy your meaningless curiosity and as a boring after-dinner conversation. Any use." Ivan said bluntly, "Think about it, what can you do? Are you rushing to fight Voldemort, or to avenge Cedric? You can't do anything, people have the right to know the truth, but With your current level of magic, you have no qualifications to know the truth."

Zacharias's face turned green and white in what Aiwen said, far from the aggressive face just now. He seemed to want to refute, but thinking about Aiwen's past experience and the rumors in the school, it really doesn't matter. Know what to say.

But he still stared at Ai Wen without showing any weakness, as if to see how bizarre the lies Ai Wen made up.

"I repeat, if any of you came here for this, you can go back now. I won't teach him magic, and I don't welcome such people." Ivan continued, looking from Zacharias Move away, "I also hope that you can understand that I promise to teach you magic and I don't expect you to fight Voldemort or do anything for me. You don't need to worry about this, because you don't need it yet. Your current strength You are completely vulnerable in front of real dark wizards. Without Voldemort's hands, his Death Eaters can easily kill you. To put it bluntly, you are now completely rubbish. Junk of any use, I don't need the help of a junk."

The atmosphere was extremely tense, and under the oppression of Aiwen's sudden burst of momentum, no one spoke.

Although what he said was ugly, the fact was true. Whether they were willing to admit it or not, their strength was indeed very poor.

As long as Ivan is willing, he can easily defeat everyone present.

This is the crushing of strength. He is qualified to say this to them. In his eyes, these students are rubbish!

"I am willing to spend precious time teaching you magic, because you are students of Hogwarts. I hope that when danger strikes, you can have the strength to protect yourself and the people you guard, and stand up like a real wizard." Rise up and fight, even death is honorable and remembered because you worked hard, fought, fought, not helpless or kneeling begging for mercy, surviving, not crawling under the robes of Voldemort or Death Eaters shivering."

Following Aiwen's words, everyone's expressions were obviously much more serious than before.

As long as there is blood, no one is willing to beg for mercy or run away. If it is possible, everyone wants to fight to the end and do their best to protect the people and things that need their protection. Many people present have a deep feeling for this.

Most people already agree with what Ai Wen said, even girls are no exception.

Only Zacharias seemed a little unwilling, he still said stiffly, "If you mean the mysterious person by the danger..."

"It's not just Voldemort. I have experienced many things that you have not experienced in the past few years. I have also witnessed many evil and terrifying powers that are countless times greater than Voldemort. These dangers may come at any time." Ai Wen interrupted, "That's why I decided to teach you magic and help you with combat training. I can tell you clearly that the Ministry of Magic and Umbridge will not agree to this. I know that some of you I may not be able to bear the pressure to inform, but I don't care, because when the terrible evil comes, all the disputes in front of me are just a joke."

"A greater danger? A danger more evil and terrifying than Voldemort?"

Everyone was talking in a low voice with interest, and many people didn't seem to believe it, but there was no way to refute Aiwen.

At least the aura that Ivan showed just now is not something they can contend with.

And what he said is also very reasonable. Ivan is willing to spend time teaching them magic, which itself is a good thing beyond imagination for them.

Behind the bar, Aberforth didn't even wipe the dirty glass, and threw the rag aside.

His mouth was wide open, and his blue eyes were staring straight at Ivan, as if he thought he was crazy.

"If you have no doubts, I hope you can continue..." Ivan touched Hermione lightly with his toes.

"Yes, that's right!" Hermione reacted immediately, and her voice became sharp and thin again, "What Ivan said just now is very clear, I think you should understand, I will ask again now, you guys Do you agree to let Aiwen teach us?"

There was a brief silence, and then everyone murmured agreement, except for Zacharias, with his arms folded and disdain on his face.

"Please, you guys won't just believe his stupid words like that, it's more dangerous than the Mysterious Man..."

"Of course we want to believe in Ivan, he has never let us down." Colin said, "If he said that the mysterious man is back, then he must have returned; if he said that a more terrifying danger is coming, then he must be It will come. Ivan said very well, I hope to learn a little more magic before that day, to protect my family and friends, and to protect Hogwarts!"

"You're crazy..."

"Oh, shut up!" Ron shouted, "Alvin made it very clear, either get out of here, or stay quietly, and you'd better stay away from my sister, you sit It's so close to her."

He stared at Zacharias fiercely at this moment, as if he wanted to go up and beat him up, and Zacharias blushed.

Ginny blushed too, and she glared at Zacharias before leaning closer to Hermione.

She really regrets it now, why did she bring this idiot here...

Chapter 970 List and Curse

"Of course I'm here to learn from Mason, so he should at least show some magic." Zacharias said.

"Do you think this is juggling or acting? Ivan doesn't need to prove anything anymore!" Fred said angrily, "Is there anyone in the school who doesn't know his strength?! Also, you really should stay away from Ginny One point, the distance between you makes me uncomfortable."

"What, I..."

"Boy, you have too many questions, do you want us to wash your brain?" George asked, taking out a long, strange-looking monster from a shopping bag in Zuko's joke store. Horrible metal stuff.

"Well, or anywhere on your body, we don't care where it goes," said Fred.

Looking at the things in George's hand, Zacharias hummed a few words, did not dare to speak, and did not explain his relationship with Ginny.

Speaking of which, the two of them had just started dating, and they had just touched their hands. He didn't want to lose such a beautiful girlfriend because of this kind of thing. Ginny was one of the best in school, and she had never promised to date anyone before.

What's more, he also felt that there was no way to continue to question Aiwen, where was the difference in strength!

"Okay, okay!" Hermione said quickly, "Come back to business, since you all agree that Ivan will teach everyone magic, then let's discuss the next question, how often do we have a class? Our previous study was a week Once, so I guess less than once a week is probably of no use."

"Wait!" Angelina said, "Make sure this doesn't conflict with our Quidditch practice."

"That's right!" Qiu said, "It can't conflict with ours."

"And ours," Zacharias said.

"I'm sure we can find an evening that suits everyone!" said Hermione, slightly impatiently, "but you know, it's important, we're talking about learning how to protect ourselves against future dangers, Not to mention Quidditch, this matter is even more important than the upcoming OWLs exam..."

Hermione paused, but no one contradicted her, and everyone seemed to think that what she said made sense.

But even so, Quidditch training cannot be delayed, it's just so contradictory...

"You're right, Granger!" said Ernie McMee of Hufflepuff. "I've always wondered why the Ministry of Magic stuffed us with such an innocent Useless teacher. Obviously they refuse to believe that You-Know-Who has returned, but to send us such a teacher who will do everything possible to prevent us from using defensive spells, in my opinion, they are crazy, what a waste of time, And any senior investigator is purely superfluous."

"As Ivan said just now, the Ministry of Magic will of course oppose our practice of Defense Against the Dark Arts, which is not surprising at all." Hermione said, "You may not know, because Umbridge has some ideas in her mind. Ridiculous idea, she thought that Dumbledore would use the students of the school as a secret army, would incite us to fight against the Ministry of Magic."

Hearing this news, almost everyone was stunned, except Luna.

"Yes, that makes a lot of sense," she put in. "In fact, Cornelius Fudge has his own secret army."
