Take back the spellcasting rights from the Ministry of Magic?

The little wizards present were all puzzled and couldn't quite understand what Ivan meant.

Hermione understood a little, and reluctantly translated Ivan's words. "You're saying that the Ministry of Magic made Umbridge forbid us to learn protective magic, so we had to learn it ourselves?"

"You can say that......" Ivan nodded, and instead of retorting, he continued to meet hundreds of pairs of eyes.

"I hope you haven't forgotten Umbridge's speech at the opening party.

On behalf of the Ministry of Magic, she told us that the wizarding world in England is very peaceful now, there is no dispute or chaos here, and each of us can put down our wands and study magic in peace in the safety of Hogwarts......"

"But I think you should all know that this is an outright lie!" Ivan scanned the audience, his gaze became very sharp, and silently added a loud spell to himself.

"Think about it, guys! Quirrell from four years ago, Lockhart from three years ago, Dementors and Peter Pettigrew from two years ago, and the riot at the Goblet of Fire a few months ago! ”

"These are all things that you and I have experienced firsthand, so it can be seen that the Ministry of Magic is lying, the danger is never far away, and the wizarding world is not safe!"

"And what did Minister of Magic Fudge and his Auror men do when we are in danger and isolated?"

"They didn't provide us with any effective help!" Ivan affirmed. "They have not fulfilled all the promises they have made!"

"The Ministry of Magic has only disappointed us time and time again, indulging the Dementors in Hogwarts, making a mess of everything, and even mistaking the heroes of the wizarding world for criminals and putting them in Azkaban for thirteen years!"

Speaking of this, Ivan had a somewhat sarcastic look on his face, and said word by word. "What the Ministry of Magic does best is to make security statements after the fact, suppress all those who are willing to tell the truth, and try to deceive our parents All dangers are an accident......"

"But even the Ministry of Magic, full of lies, is still arrogantly ordering us to give up learning the magic that can protect us, and to waste our time and energy with boring, meaningless lessons......"

"They're afraid! Fear that we will see through their lies and know the truth, and even more afraid that we will be able to get rid of them and have enough power to protect ourselves......"

Ivan's loud voice echoed through the screaming shack, and the rhythmic words quickly mobilized the anger of the young wizards, and reminded everyone of the dangers they had experienced in the castle.

The horror that the Dementors brought to them two years ago is something that many people still remember!

And they won't forget that when those disgusting monsters flew down from the sky and tried to hurt them, it was not the Aurors of the Ministry of Magic who stood in front of everyone, but the hero of Hogwarts, the amazing dragon knight Ivan Hals!

Seeing that the time was ripe and that the young wizards present had accepted their ideas, Ivan stretched out his finger and pointed to the door of the shack and spoke.

"If any of you still want to believe the Ministry of Magic's words and expect the Aurors to arrive in time for you in danger, then you can leave now, and I will not stop you!"

"But...... If you are determined to take up your wand to protect yourself and your cherished family and friends, then I would like to welcome you to the Defence Against the Dark Arts Society! ”

As soon as Ivan's words fell, Luna stood up for a moment and said in a brisk tone. "I believe you, Hals, the Ministry of Magic are liars! My dad said they hated it more than the bugs......"

"That's right! The Ministry of Magic has no right to stop us from learning protective magic, we need to take back our spellcasting rights! Ernie McMillan also hurriedly spoke out, saying that he strongly supports Ivan's idea.

After the two spoke, more and more young wizards raised their hands to declare that they were joining the Defence Against the Dark Arts Society, and finally even the Slytherin students joined in, and none of them left!

"I'm glad to have your trust!" Ivan looked at the energetic little wizards and said with a smile. "The next time you come here, I'll reveal to you what the Ministry of Magic has hidden!"

Ivan's words aroused everyone's curiosity, did the Ministry of Magic have other things that they couldn't see to hide from them?

However, after Ivan aroused their curiosity, he did not give an answer, and directly changed his voice and began to arrange today's study tasks, and the one hundred and sixty-eight young wizards present were grouped according to their upper and lower grades and the academy, and the prefects were responsible for managing them.

"Are we training here?" After Ivan had divided the line, someone in the crowd suddenly shouted.

Ivan glanced over there and found that it was Colin, who was one year younger than him, but apart from him, the rest of the young wizards also had some opinions about this practice venue.

After all, the screaming shack has been abandoned for a long time, it is dirty and messy, there is dust everywhere, and even the air is filled with the smell of decay, except that it is quite open, it does not look like a practice ground at all......

Ivan naturally understood this, and asked with a smile. "What do you think is needed for a good training ground? Colin? ”

"Well...... Some combat dummies? Colin thought for a moment and said uncertainly.

"Good, battle dummy!" Ivan nodded, then waved his wand and pointed at the corner of the screaming shack, where the rotten and moldy tables, chairs, and benches all floated from the ground, twisting and deforming in mid-air, and in a matter of seconds, hundreds of dummies stood up.

Not only that, but these combat dummies are also equipped with two wheels at the bottom, and their positions are constantly changing under the drive of magic, not rigid targets, but magic dummies that can run, jump and fight back!

Colin and the others, who watched such a large-scale transformation technique, were stunned, and they couldn't speak for a long time.

"Does anyone else have a request?" Ivan lowered his wand, looked at the crowd, and asked.

The eyes of the students present lit up, and they realized that Ivan was going to use Transfiguration to transform a practice field suitable for them, and even if they talked about it.

"We also need a place to sit and rest, and we need to clean up the dust on the floor!"

"The windows need to be repaired, otherwise the air will leak in......"

"And bookshelves and cabinets......"

"How about some more decorations there?"

……

Ivan listened to everyone's advice and waved his wand one by one.

Under the influence of the transformation magic, the wooden planks on the floor have been replaced with shiny, neat stone bricks, the broken walls have been repaired, the collapsed bookshelves have been lifted and refurbished, and even the broken bricks and tiles have been collected and turned into beautiful ornaments.

However, Ivan didn't do everything himself, and after solving most of the set, he took the opportunity to explain the essentials of Transfiguration, and assigned the rest of the work to the junior wizards.

An hour later, the dilapidated screaming shack was completely renewed......
