Chapter 336: The Assembly

I don't know how Hermione got in touch with people, but after a while, Darren saw a large group of students on the path, chattering and arguing, and they were a little conscious of participating in secret meetings?!

Because of the spell, these people couldn't see the tent either, and Hermione had to go out to meet them before they could come in, first to come in were Neville, Dean, and Lavender, followed by Sister Petyr, then Luna, then Katie, Arya, and Angelina, Colin and Dennis, Ernie, Justin, Hannah, Ginny, and a whole host of people, and at the end of the line were Fred, George, and their friend Lee Jordan, all three of whom had large paper bags in their arms filled with things they had bought at Jokowi's Joke Shop.

Like Harry just now, most of the students who entered the enchantment range were also very surprised, after all, they hadn't even taken the O.w.Ls exam, and suddenly, the tent was boiling, and the part-time job was about to overturn the roof, and Darren had to use the amplification charm like Dumbledore to calm them down.

"Hmm," Hermione said, her voice slightly higher than usual, and it seemed that even though she was already a prefect, she was still nervous in front of so many people, "Hmm...... Well...... Hello everyone!" the people in the room finally turned their attention to her.

"That's right...... Not...... Ahem, you all know why you're here, huh...... So, I came up with an idea...... If anyone wants to learn Defence Against the Dark Arts, I mean, learn the real thing, not the pile of rubbish Umbridge taught us......" She slowly found her groove, "No one would call that thing Defence Against the Dark Arts!"

"Well said, well said!" said a Ravenclaw boy, and Darren recognized him as Anthony Goldstein.

“…… I thought, we might as well do that, um, figure it out ourselves. Hermione paused, looked sideways at Darren, and continued, "I mean learning how to protect yourself effectively, not only in theory, but also in practicing real spells......"

"But I guess you're going to need to pass the Defence Against the Dark Arts O.W.Ls exam too, right?" said Michael Kona.

"Of course yes," Hermione said immediately, "but more than that, I want to get formal training in defense, because ...... Because ......," she took a deep breath before she finished speaking, "because Voldemort is back." ”

Sure enough, it was "the name of the man, the shadow of the tree", and when he heard Voldemort's name, the room was in chaos, some spilled the things in his hands, some twitched involuntarily, and some shivered, and Neville simply let out a strange scream, and then tried to hide it as a cough.

"Hmm...... That's the plan," Hermione said, "and if you want to join, we need to decide how we're going to ...... going forward."

"What's the evidence that the mystery man is back?" asked a yellow-haired Hufflepuff.

"Oh, Dumbledore trusts ......" Hermione didn't finish.

The boy interrupted Hermione, "I think we have a right to know what evidence there is for the mystery man to come back." ”

"Actually, that's not what this meeting is about......" Hermione tried to divert the conversation, but Darren picked up, "There are no witnesses other than Harry. ”

Harry looked at him, but Darren continued, "So, believe it or not, today's meeting is about how to learn Defence Against the Dark Arts more effectively, not what to do with it. ”

The other man glared at Darren, but didn't speak, "So," Hermione said, "So, like I said, if you want to learn some defenses, we need to plan what to do, how often to meet, where to meet......"

"Is that true," the girl with a long braid behind her back looked at Harry and interrupted Hermione, "can you really conjure a Patronus?"

Hearing this, everyone whispered with great interest.

"Oh yes, what's wrong?"

"A patronus of the flesh?"

Hearing this, Harry had a look of sudden realization on his face, "Well, you don't know Mrs. Bones, do you?"

The girl laughed, "She's my aunt, my name is Susan Bones, and she told me about your trial, so ...... Is this true? Can you conjure a stag Patronus?"

"Yes. ”

"That's great, Harry!" said Lee, looking very admiring, "I never knew that before!"

"Mommy told Ron not to make a fuss," Fred said with a grin at Harry, "and she said you've gotten enough attention. ”

She was right. Harry whispered, and one or two laughed out loud.

"You killed the basilisk with that sword in Dumbledore's office?" asked Terry Bout, "that's what a portrait on the wall told me about last year." ”

"Hmm...... Yes, it does. Harry said.

Justin Finchrie whistled, the Creevey brothers exchanged a shocked look, and Lavender Brown exclaimed, "Wow!"

"When we were in first grade," Neville said to the group, "he rescued the magic stone!"

"It's the Philosopher's Stone. Hermione corrected him quietly.

"Oh, yes...... From the hands of the mystery man. Neville finished.

As Harry's "great achievements" were turned out one by one, the atmosphere in the room became lively, and there was a murmur of admiration and approval, and Hermione looked at Darren, and he waved his hand gently, which was good, and if Harry was in charge, he would be able to spend less time.

"Alright, alright," said Hermione, who had received Darren's hint, "and the point is, did we all agree to learn Defence Against the Dark Arts ourselves?"

"Okay," said Hermione, looking relieved that something had finally settled, "Well, the second question is, how often do we have lessons. I don't think it's going to be useful less than once a week......"

"Wait," said Angelina, "make sure it doesn't conflict with our Quidditch training!" Hearing her say, the other House Quidditch team members agreed.

"I'm sure we'll find a night that suits everyone, but you know, it's important, we're talking about Death Eaters who learn how to defend themselves against Voldemort......" Hermione said, slightly impatient.

"I say, once a week is better," Hermione hesitated, took a deep breath, and pulled a piece of parchment and a quill from her bag, "I, I want everyone to write down their names so we know who's coming today, and in the meantime, we should agree not to make a big deal about what we're proud of, so once you've signed, agree not to tell Umbridge or anyone else about us!"
