After the week, everything went smoothly during school time, and Ryan took a night out of the Room to check out the Vanishing Cabinet. His examination confirmed that someone had inspected the vanishing cabinet in the past few days, indicating that a conspiracy was about to begin.

However, Harry surprised everyone in Potions class this week, as he became the most skilled potions maker in Potions class, except when Ryan chose to use alchemy, and Slughorn praised Harry's abilities, saying that he had rarely taught such a talented student.

Naturally, Harry shared the secrets of the Half-Blood Prince's textbook with his comrades who had fought in the Battle of the Ministry of Magic, and Ryan was full of praise for Snape's talent when he was a student. "If you don't master the basic analysis methods of alchemy, you need to have a very detailed grasp of the properties of all the ingredients, as well as sufficient inspiration and careful observation. This requires a high level of personal quality. ”

"That means the half-blood prince is probably a girl. It was after dinner on Saturday night, and after listening to Ryan's analysis from last week, Ron had said on a whim.

"Sissi Snape?" Ryan whispered, while Harry flatly denied it. "His name is 'The Half-Blood Prince'. How many girls call themselves princes?"

Ryan looked up at the clock in the corner of the common room for the holidays, and then said to Hermione, "It's ten past seven, we need to go to the book club party, today is the first party of the year, we may need to clean it up first." After saying hello and saying goodbye, he and Hermione left the common room under the watchful eyes of Harry and Ron.

The house-elves at Hogwarts are industrious enough that even after a holiday, the party classroom is still clean and tidy. It can be seen that they will maintain everything in the school even when no one is around.

It didn't take long for all the members of the book club to arrive. This year, there was a big change in personnel, and the Weasley twins were unable to continue attending the party because they graduated, but of course, they did not quit, but became a member of the book club as a sponsor. In addition, the melee between Ryan and Hermione at the Ministry of Magic last year also attracted a lot of people. After some screening, three people were added to the book club this year, as Harry no longer hosted the Creevey brothers who wanted to find another place to study. and Hermione's roommate, Angela Marcus, who has short blonde hair.

Angela Marcus was a minor accident, and last semester Hermione needed to introduce Muggle force when she was working on Look, This is Muggle magazine, and she couldn't write it for half a day. It just so happened that Angela came out of the bathroom after taking a shower and saw Hermione's problem and helped her, and the relationship between the two of them improved greatly after that. After observing Angela for half a semester, Hermione pulled her into the book club after the semester started. According to Hermione, in a situation like this, a hemp wizard like Angela, who was born into a military family, would be the kind of person who needed it the most.

After the introduction of the newcomers, it is naturally a normal time to answer questions and solve problems. There aren't a lot of questions for younger students, but everyone from the fifth grade onwards, including the fifth graders, has a lot of questions to answer. Fortunately, after such a long run-in, everyone has learned to answer each other's questions, so in the end, it doesn't take a lot of things for Ryan to solve. After an hour these problems are solved, here's the practice time.

"Our practice today is mass scuffle, and I know that in school, even Defence Against the Dark Arts classes are often one-on-one. This was naturally inconsequential in the past, as ordinary people often only fought one-on-one when they needed to fight with magic, while the Aurors and Strikers would have special training before taking office. But based on the bad situation right now, I think everyone needs to adapt to the melee in order to be able to escape in a real battle. ”

"Why escape?" Neville asked, in a puzzled tone. "Isn't it fighting?"

"I also want everyone to have the ability to fight the Death Eaters. Hermione stepped up and explained. "But based on our experience in the Ministry of Magic last year, the greatest contribution that most of you can make in this kind of battle is to get out of the band as quickly as possible, so that the combatants don't get distracted by protecting us. ”

"We're not that bad, are we?" said last year. Justin Finchri, who earned an O in the LS Defence Against the Dark Arts exam, said, "At least we should be able to play a role in the fight. ”

"Is that really the case?" Ryan smiled, "You're welcome, Hermione and I are on a level equal to the Death Eaters, how about letting you experience it now? ”

"You mean, there's only two of you over there?" Neville asked, incredulous. "And can we play at the same time if we want?"

"Yes, that's right. Ryan nodded. "I need to give you a taste of what it's like to face a truly evil Dark Wizard so that you don't have to suffer unnecessary casualties. Speaking of which, Ryan thought of the two Creevey brothers who died in the final battle in the original book, and since they are now members of the reading club, Ryan naturally hopes that the two of them will live well. In this case, it is important that everyone in the book club can recognize what real war looks like.

After listening to what Ryan said, each member of the team was eager to try, and finally they decided to participate in the competition as a group.

"Then we're going to need a bigger venue. Fortunately, the rooms on both sides of the corridor were empty, so after blocking both ends of the corridor, Ryan and Hermione spent fifteen minutes cleaning up the house and adding some obstacles, so that the entire corridor and the empty rooms on both sides became the venue for their today's competition.

"Alright, you can go in first. Five minutes later, as soon as we stepped into the hallway, the battle began. The situation in the brain hall of the Ministry of Magic is very close to what it is now, so you must take the practice seriously. After Hermione explained to the members of the reading club who were watching them, she and Ryan retreated to the hallway to start the timer.

Miss Marcus was promoted as the organizer, and naturally there was no way to make any elaborate arrangements in just five minutes, so Angela just divided everyone into four groups, and then roughly arranged the positions and what to do.

Five minutes were up, Ryan and Hermione spun out of the corner at the end of the hallway, wands in hand. The moment they stepped into the hallway, three or four magical rays of light erupted from the left and right sides.

"Interestingly, Angela, who was born in a military family, really has a talent for combat, and when organizing a group of rabble, she simply puts most of the people on the front line and attacks with maximum power at the first time. This is also the best way to give full play to the combat effectiveness of these novices. Ryan thought about waving his wand in a circular motion, several spells grazing his body and falling to the ground, as a palm-sized translucent barrier appeared in front of him to block an unavoidable stun spell.

"Can the Iron Charm still be used like this?" Neville's eyes widened in surprise as he attempted to direct the group of young wizards who were with him to attack.

However, Ryan and the others reacted faster, and just before the young wizards who had just attacked had time to make a decision to hide or continue to attack after casting the spell, they saw Ryan and Hermione quickly shake their wands at the same time, and several spells were launched in a very short time.

The speed at which these spells were fired was astonishingly fast, and before the ambushed wizard could react, he ate a set of magic baptisms mixed with disarming spells and stun spells, and fell to the ground one after another. Less than half a minute into the hallway, after a stun spell knocked Neville unconscious. Ryan and the others managed to defeat most of the book club members, leaving only Zhang Qiu, Angela, Justin and Luna below.
