194. Argue with reason
After class, a small number of students failed to complete Flitwick's request, the most exaggerated was Neville, half of them failed to do it, and he was almost crying in a hurry, and finally they went to help him out to save him.
They told Harry that he had something to do and left to catch up with Flitwick and wanted to talk to him about the club.
"Professor, please wait a minute."
"Mr. Will, is there something going on?"
"Well, I want to start a club, but the principal said that there must be a professor in it, so I want your help." Magos said sincerely.
Flitwick looked at him with some embarrassment,
"I'm sorry Mr. Will, I may not be able to help with this, I also have my own club, and I'm late this semester, so I want you to come over and catch up on the lessons I missed."
The professor said this, and McGoth was too embarrassed to trouble him again, so he had to say goodbye to him in disappointment. He thought about it, and now the only one who has not been harassed by him except for the instructor is Professor Sprout, but he has no confidence in being able to convince Sprout, this one is focused on magic plants, and all the magic plants in the school are cultivated and planted by her, so she really doesn't have time. Sure enough, when McGoth found her, she was busy feeding a plant he didn't recognize, and it was the first time he had seen a plant he had come out of the dirt to eat. I chatted silently with the professor for a while, and I didn't mention anything about the club.
Later in the evening, he and Hermione went to see Luna at the school hospital and told them about it with some disappointment. Hermione had just found out about his desire to start a club, and felt that his failure was a matter of course, and the professors were so busy that they had no time to play with him.
"It's not play." Magos shook his head.
"I've had a little idea since Kang disappeared, and I didn't have the inspiration until I saw Lockhart's dueling club."
"Another wizard duel?"
"It's about attacking each other, but it's not a duel, and I think what we need now is not only to master the spell, but also to be vigilant against danger."
Hermione didn't understand what he meant.
"Simply put, a group of wizards attack each other together, and only one person wins."
"Are you crazy?" Hermione's eyes widened, "How could the Headmaster and the professors agree on this kind of thing, it's much more dangerous than Quidditch." ”
"There will definitely be danger, otherwise there is no need to ask the professors for help, but don't deny that this will greatly improve everyone's vigilance."
"Yes, yes, but I still don't think it's possible to agree, don't waste your time, this time it's just an accident." Hermione wasn't optimistic about him at all.
McGoth sighed, what an unexpected fart, this kind of thing will be the norm at Hogwarts in the future, and there will be offensive and defensive battles in the end, if you don't hurry up to improve your combat experience, you will wait to be cut leeks when the time comes.
Luna had been listening quietly to their conversation, when she suddenly said,
"Since you think this is good for the school, why don't you just talk to the principal."
McGoth smiled bitterly, thinking that Dumbledore couldn't agree with him that he wanted to go to the professor for a prelude. But now it seems that the professors are out of play, and in the end they can only consult with Dumbledore.
"You talk to Luna for a while, and I'll try it in the principal's office." He thought it would be better to give it a try, in case he could agree.
"You're really going." Hermione was not optimistic about McGoss's idea.
"I'm going to have to try, I'll go first, Luna." Magos waved away.
On the eighth floor, McGoth stood in front of the door of the principal's office, took a deep breath, and rang the brass bell in front of the door.
Dumbledore opened the door and waited for Magos to come in and motioned for him to sit down. After thanking him, he said what he meant.
"I wouldn't have agreed to you creating a club without the Professor, Mr. Will." Dumbledore refused outright.
"And what about my invitation?" He asked boldly.
"Me?" Dumbledore, amused by Magos's thoughts, looked at him and said.
"I'm very busy, I don't have time."
"Can you first hear what the club I want to start looks like? Maybe you'll agree. ”
Looking at Magos's stubborn expression, Dumbledore conjured two cups of steaming hot tea and nodded.
Then he said what he had said to Hermione, and Dumbledore frowned,
"It's too dangerous, and if I knew that you were thinking, I wouldn't agree with it, even if the professor supported it."
"Indeed, but if you think about it, we can't stay in school for the rest of our lives, we will eventually leave school, the wizarding world is different from the real world, she is more dangerous, whether we are going to explore or find potions in the future, we will always encounter danger, and if we have more practical experience now, we may save us in the future."
"There will be actual combat training in the sixth and seventh grades, and we have considered all of what you said."
"But what's the difference between that kind of combat training and Lockhart's dueling club, the magical beasts and dark wizards who want to attack you won't bow to each other, that kind of training will only make them let their guard down." McGoth said with some excitement.
"It's Professor Lockhart, Mr. Will, for your lack of respect for the professor." Dumbledore said displeased.
"I'm not right, but I'm telling the truth, and you know that I was attacked by wild wizards before I came to Hogwarts, and they never wanted to greet you. It was indeed my recklessness, but it also showed that there is no such thing as chivalry in the wizarding world, and my proposal was not to let them kill, but to let them know how to hide, and where to know where there might be enemies. ”
"I understand your experience, but the school's mission is to teach and educate people, and that is what we need to do to know how to use magic. If you want to fight, when you graduate, you can go to the Ministry of Magic to apply for an Auror, they have some well-developed training methods. Dumbledore shook his head in disagreement.
"Aurors?" McGoth looked at Dumbledore,
"Headmaster Dumbledore, do you think the Aurors are really that strong, if it weren't for you, the Ministry of Magic might not be the Ministry of Magic now."
"That's just an exception, Mr. Will." Dumbledore's brow furrowed.
"That time it was because the opponent was too strong."
"Wouldn't there be such a powerful individual after that? If a dark wizard like Voldemort appeared again, we who had learned combat experience since childhood would not be defeated in an instant. McGoth argued.
Dumbledore wanted to say that there would never be such a powerful dark wizard in the future, and even if there were, there would still be him, but when the words came to his mouth, he swallowed it back, he knew that Voldemort would definitely make a comeback, and McGos had faced Voldemort last year, and dealt with his two Horcruxes this year, although he didn't know this. At this time, he suddenly understood a little why McGoth insisted on establishing this club, and it was not so easy for anyone to be targeted by the dark wizard who was talking about the wizarding world, and he could not take it seriously and endure it for so long. In his opinion, this is not a fear, but a plan for a rainy day, and having more experienced partners in combat has only advantages and no harm.
"Let me think again." He said.
McGoss's eyes lit up, this is a trick, just now he was silent for so long and he thought it was no fun.
"Yes, Headmaster, I sincerely hope that you will finally agree."
