It was Saturday of the first week of school, and after a full week of rain and rain, the sun finally came out. When Ryan and Hermione came out of the room after practicing, the sun was already high in the sky, and as they walked down the hallway, the sunlight shone through the gap in the glassless hallway, shaking their eyes. Through these gaps, the treetops of the Forbidden Forest could be seen swaying gently in the breeze, allowing fresh air to blow into their faces. All in all it was a good day.

"Any news about us?" Ryan asked as he watched Hermione grab a copy of the Daily Prophet, they had been practicing a little longer in the morning, so now most of them had finished their lunch and gone back to rest, with only a few students still sitting at the long table eating their lunches.

"Yes. Hermione said, pointing to a small article that was less than an inch long and was titled: Trespass to the Ministry of Magic. Stojee Podmore, Chinese New Year's Eve, lives at No. 2 Golden Chain Flower Park in Krapong District, and is currently on trial in Wizengamot, accused of trespassing into the Ministry of Magic and attempting robbery on August 31. Podmore was captured by Ministry of Magic guard Eric Munch, who discovered that he had attempted to break through a level 1 secret door at one a.m. Podmore refused to defend himself and was convicted on two counts and imprisoned for six months in Azkaban.

"I have an impression of this person. Ryan said in a low voice. "He was supposed to be one of the guards escorting us to King's Cross station on the day we came to school by train, but he didn't show up to Moody's upset. ”

"Then he should also be a member of the Order of the Phoenix. Hermione leaned over and whispered. This means that the dispute between Fudge and Dumbledore has entered a white heat, and Fudge has completely torn his face and tried to remove Dumbledore's people from the Ministry of Magic by any means. ”

"Sounds terrible. Ryan threw the newspaper on the table, took a loaf of bread and put a piece of roast beef on top and stuffed it into his mouth. "But that's what Dumbledore needs to worry about, and what we need to do now is try not to cause them any more trouble. ”

But when the time came for the weekend, Ryan started doing something that might cause Dumbledore trouble. That's when the book club meeting began again.

There were no new students participating in the book club this year, mainly because the situation was a bit bad this year, and even worse, some people withdrew.

"Main chose to quit because his family had been officials of the Ministry of Magic for generations. So he said it wasn't appropriate to be too close to us, and in the morning he informed me about it with an owl and wrote a very formal farewell letter. Hermione looked annoyed.

"The butt decides the head, as a child, it is very normal for him to draw a line with us under the influence of his family, you don't need to feel uncomfortable because of this. Ryan said to Hermione. As Percy said in his letter this week, Fudge demanded that everyone must make a radical choice between him and Dumbledore. ”

"Hopefully Percy is well. Hearing this, Hermione remembered what Percy had written, and sighed. "Fudge actually arranged their entire team in the most dangerous place, just because they were dissatisfied with Fudge's approach and privately criticized a few words and were informed, which is simply *** behavior. ”

Fortunately, only one person chose to leave, and by half past seven in the afternoon, everyone else had arrived.

When everyone gets together after a summer gap, the first thing they do is talk to each other about what they did during the summer, and then there are all sorts of complaints about the new Defence Against the Dark Arts professor.

"Why did the Ministry of Magic send that toad to school? I think this year our class will be wasted. Celia grumbled.

"After all, you're only a junior grade, and it's not a big problem to waste the previous year. Those of us who have to face important exams are the worst. Justin looked a little annoyed, "Why would a high-ranking official from the Ministry of Magic come to be a professor this year?" ”

"Because Professor Dumbledore told the truth, Fudge and he had a big disagreement. Akihari's voice rang out. "My mother got word from her friends in the Ministry of Magic that Fudge didn't want us to train in martial arts. Because he feared that Professor Dumbledore would organize a secret army of his own, which he would then be able to use against the Ministry of Magic. ”

"If Dumbledore wants to control the Ministry of Magic, he doesn't need to organize his own army, he can take care of Fudge's lackeys by himself. It's no wonder that after Fudge came to power, the level of the Ministry of Magic staff plummeted, and it turned out that his criteria for selecting people were to see if they could be beaten by themselves. Fred said, leaning back in his chair.

"But it's a good thing for us. George threw his arms around Fred's shoulders. "Because they're bad, we're able to sell more defense sets. ”

After saying that, he stood up and said to the other members, "The Weasley Joke Shop now sells magical defense sets, which can protect against the level of magic of the Stun Charm. I can give you a 70% discount for every member of the book club—"

"Alright, shut up. This is not the place for you to sell your goods. Hermione stood up and stopped the twins. "I think our main task today is to make a good plan for this semester. ”

"The most important thing is the Defence Against the Dark Arts class. Zhang Qiu said. "Anyway, I don't believe that I can cast magic in the exam after reading the book, and I will take the exam next year. If this year is really wasted, it will be over. ”

"Then let's just practice on our own in private. Hermione said, "Anyway, we have a president who can take down dragons head-on, and Moody has praised Ryan many times last year for being comparable to some of the Auror novices. I think it should teach us at this level. ”

Everyone nodded in agreement after hearing Hermione's words, so Ryan announced that he would take a certain amount of time to practice the content of the Defence Against the Dark Arts exam at each party, and also teach some tips to himself. Everyone seems to be looking forward to this.

In short, after the beginning of the planning for the semester was over, the party went straight to the actual practice of spells. For the first spell of the semester, they chose the Iron Armor Charm, because everyone had already learned the Disarming Charm before, so Ryan found a very practical but safe spell for everyone to learn.

The practice method is to attack with one disarming charm and defend with the other with the iron armor charm. At the beginning, everyone's mastery of the Iron Armor Spell was not very high, and from time to time wands flew up. However, after an hour of practice, many people have mastered the Iron Armor Charm and can use the Iron Armor Charm prepared in advance to resist the attack of a disarming charm.

"Okay, you can practice this spell in private. By the time of next week, I'll make a plan for the next step based on everyone's progress. Seeing that the time was about to reach curfew, Ryan stopped everyone's practice and carefully admonished. They must hurry back to their respective dormitories, or they will be in trouble if they are caught by Filch.

"Yes. "Understood. "We're fine. The classmates below replied in a rambling manner, and Ryan nodded, "If you have a good grasp of the situation, I can teach you some spells that work better next week." Well, see you next week. ”

"Today's event was a success, but think it was caused by an incompetent Defence Against the Dark Arts professor. I'm feeling a little uncomfortable, and I wish I could have a better professor!" Hermione looked up to Ryan as she walked towards the Gryffindor common room.

"Unfortunately, these are not things that we can decide, what we can do now is to help some students who are willing to believe in us. Ryan sighed softly, in this changing situation, the only choice he had was to try to help the people in need around him and save a little vitality for the future.
