09. Effort
It took two years for the members of the Dark Wizard Army to be gathered again, which made them almost forget that they were still members of the Dark Wizard Army.
The number of people in the Sherlock Club has increased a lot in the past two years, but unfortunately Sherlock's previous notes have been taken away by Rufus, and they have been left to the Department of Mysteries to become bait to attract Voldemort.
And in order to make this trap seem real, Sherlock also deliberately threw the fire element Hormiz Prometheus, one of the three major Homiz, at the Department of Mysteries.
"If you want to learn advanced magic to protect yourself, that's fine...... I'll even give you the chance to join the Dark Wizard Army, and I'll tell you the location when we get together for the second time, do you remember the Dark Wizard's special contact tool? Sherlock asked before leaving the Hog's Head Bar.
"The mask and clothes of the Black Wizard and this coin." Hermione pulled out her coin.
Only this coin she carried with her.
"I'll take it with me too......" Ginny also took out her own coin, and all the members of the Dark Wizard present were holding the coin, only this coin was the one they carried, after all, it was convenient to contact them at any time.
Femiaa took out the coin, and how many times Femiah had the illusion that Sherlock might contact her through the coin out of nowhere, but unfortunately not once.
"Of course, it's not just coins, coins, masks, and wizard robes are all specially made by me, and people who may not be members of the Dark Wizard don't know too well, such as this coin......" Sherlock took the coin from Hermione's hand.
"I also cast a spell on this coin...... It has been transformed into a magic item, and through this coin, the members of the Dark Wizard Army can contact each other, and everyone can project into this conference hall belonging to the Dark Wizard Army, which can be clearly stated that the so-called conference hall is a Dark Wizard Tower built in Mephisto Manor, and it is also a very safe place, not weaker than the current Hogwarts ......"
Sherlock explained, "The projected image will appear in the chamber, no matter where you are, this coin will allow you to communicate with other members anytime, anywhere, and when you use it, you only need to put the coin in the palm of your hand, chant the spell that was opened, each coin is blank, just engrave your name and a drop of blood to use, even if the coin is accidentally lost, you can find it again through the recovery charm!" ”
Hearing Sherlock's explanation, most of the young wizards present who were not members of the Dark Wizard Army showed an excited expression, what a cool feature, and now there are members of the Dark Wizard Army in the school who have such a thing.
"I carry my own mask and clothes with me, and one of the pockets of my clothes has been altered by me with a Traceless Stretching Charm." Sherlock pulled an iron mask out of his pocket.
Most wizards who weren't members of the Dark Wizard watched in confusion as Sherlock picked up the mask, which didn't even have the slightest pattern on it, only two holes that could be seen by the eyes.
Sherlock then pulled out a black modified wizarding robe that resembled a trench coat from his pocket, many times better than the wizarding robes worn by the Hogwarts students.
Sherlock showed the crowd to the side, then said calmly.
"This is no ordinary mask and wizarding robe, wizarding robes are specially modified for the battle between wizards, the wide robe and long sleeves are particularly difficult to run, every time I wave my wand, I feel awkward to death, it is better to wear Muggle-style clothes...... As for the mask, someone can put it on and try it, and then you will know what the mask is for......"
"Me! I! A blonde girl suddenly shouted, perhaps thinking it was rude to do so in Sherlock's presence, and withdrew her hand.
"Hufflepuff Hannah, Hannah Abbott." Asinsha added to Sherlock's side, as she sensed that Sherlock might not know Hannah.
Sherlock nodded and asked her to come over, after all, who doesn't know Hannah in the flowing water, and Hannah finally married Neville Longbottom, which impressed Sherlock the most, and Hannah finally became the female owner of the Leaky Cauldron.
Hannah took a deep breath and slowly put the mask on her face, which was like a special ritual, and everyone was amused, but it was just a mask, but she was mysterious.
However, after Hannah put on the mask, something unexpected happened in an instant, her body changed, her body suddenly became taller, and her body became the same as that of an adult......
Hannah took off her mask in amazement, and her size returned to her original petiteness, and she changed from an adult's body back to a child's appearance.
"So is this mask going to make us look like adults? It's a lot of fun......"
Hannah said in surprise that except for the members of the Dark Wizard Army, everyone else present was not calm.
Harry couldn't help but remember that when he was dragged into the Forbidden Forest by Sirius Black the year before, there seemed to be a member of the Dark Wizard Army wearing this kind of mask, but until now Harry didn't know that person was Lupo.
"There are many functions of masks and clothes, changing body shape, voice, and no one will recognize you after wearing the mask, no matter how advanced the probing technique is, as long as it is not better than me, you will never be able to see what you look like under the mask."
Sherlock then added.
"Clothes, will automatically change with your body type, until it fits, the mask will change your body to unify, everyone will wear the same body shape, the voice will be different, and no one can take off your mask except for yourself, which is magical, and you can't tell your true identity after putting on the mask......"
"So no one will be able to recognize who's who?" Ginny couldn't help but say that her membership in the Dark Wizards made her proud, and that with so many Weasley children in school, only Ginny was the first to become a member of the Sherlock Club, and is now a member of the Dark Wizards.
"I will let the members of the Dark Wizard Army or me teach students who are willing to learn somewhere in the school, unlike the Sherlock Club and the Dark Wizard Army, you are only Hogwarts students, but I give you a chance to participate in the selection of the Dark Wizard Army, of course, you must be recruited by the Sherlock Club first, and the members of the Dark Wizard Army are directly selected from the members of the Sherlock Club."
Hearing that he was going to enter the Sherlock Club first, everyone suddenly turned into bitter gourd faces.
After all, those papers and questions are too difficult.
The Weasley boys, who were not very bright-headed, all came home one by one.
Sherlock smiled, "Don't be nervous, from now on I'm going to cancel the paper exam, and another kind of magic crafting application form, the application form will judge whether you are eligible to join the Sherlock Club based on your personal magic and mind, and character." ”
"That's a great idea...... George and Fred said in unison, since Ginny joined the Sherlock Club and then joined the Dark Wizards, her brothers couldn't hold their heads up.
And Ginny is starting to become domineering in the Weasley family, and she is a dictator to her brothers.
Now that they finally don't have to answer the question, it's clear that George and Fred are still very confident in their character and magic.
The group of little wizards chatted and chatted, and they suddenly felt like they had a group with big secrets, and it seemed that they were very different from other little wizards at school.
"Then let's get here today, I'll have to remake the application form when I go back, you also have to find a way to study hard, it's best to improve your magic, both the Sherlock Club and the Dark Wizard Army only recruit the best."
Sherlock saw a cup on the table filled with water.
He picked it up and said, "I just said that my mouth is dry, is this water or juice?" ”
"Wait......"
Asinsha snatched it up, and Sherlock saw that the group of young wizards were all scared to the point of horror.
"This is a butter beer machine, we secretly drank a little here just now......" Asinsha stuck out her tongue and whispered in front of Sherlock, "Compared to you, my sister and I can't pour a thousand cups." ”
Sherlock "......"
In the blink of an eye, a week has passed since the first meeting, and today, the appointed time.
The number of members of the Sherlock Club has suddenly surged, but it is only nearly a hundred more people, and many young wizards have submitted application forms, but they are not eligible to join, after all, many of the conditions in the application form are also very harsh.
But at least you don't have to answer the question.
This made the young wizards who filled out the application form and joined the club very excited.
And the reason why the conditions for joining the Sherlock Club were changed gradually spread among the students, so that they knew that there was also the Dark Wizard Army, an organization created by him, around Sherlock.
The sky was full of gray clouds, and in the afternoon, the rainstorm swept through the castle, and the class was rushed.
Sherlock gave Hermione and Asin the approximate location of the Room of Requirement, and they informed the others of the location of the Sherlock's Club where the members of the Sherlock Club would meet for the second time.
In essence, Dandney had some opinion about the upcoming rally, and in his view, power was necessary only in the hands of a few loyal to Mr. Sherlock.
He was in no mood for those who were lucky enough to get real magic for no apparent reason.
As for Lu Bo, he was very innocently excited.
Kirk thinks much deeper than Dandney, if the reason why Voldemort failed in the early stage is entirely because of his pure-blood philosophy, only recruiting pure-bloods from wizards as his subordinates.
Perhaps pure-blood families have a deep influence in the wizarding world as a whole.
But now it's not as good as the peak, Voldemort doesn't engage in pure-blood after his resurrection now, as long as people are willing to defect to him, Voldemort wants it, as long as the person who defects is bad enough.
Dumbledore's Order of the Phoenix can be seen as a combination of chivalrous and aspiring people, half-bloods, Muggle-born wizards, and ...... Pure-bloods, but fighting the Death Eaters alone, not relying on politics.
Ministry of Magic...... Brave people do exist, but there are more of them.
And Sherlock's Sherlock Club and the Dark Wizard Army are selected on the basis of merit, Muggle-born wizards, half-blood wizards and pure-blood wizards all exist, in fact, the bottom to the top of the wizarding world are shrouded, and in this regard it is much stronger than Voldemort.
At half past seven in the evening, according to the agreement, according to the notice of Hermione and others, the new members of the Sherlock Club came to the corridor on the eighth floor, Sherlock and several people had been waiting in front of the painting for a while, the eighth floor, this floor is generally a place to place sundries and some experimental tools, and few people will come, so the gradually increasing flow of people did not attract attention at all.
Around eight o'clock, almost everyone had already arrived, and it was clear that many people were interested in what was about to become a permanent training place for everyone, but there was only a white wall around where Sherlock and the others were standing, except for a huge tapestry depicting Silly Barnabas trying to teach trolls ballet.
"Mr. Sherlock, all the new members of the Sherlock Club have arrived." Hermione took the Sherlock Club's parchment scroll with emotional intelligence, which was a magic item that would appear on it whenever someone joined the Sherlock Club, counted the crowd around her, turned to Sherlock and said, "Next, where to train?" Is it a classroom on this floor? ”
Sherlock pointed to the wall next to the portrait of the troll, "This location is the place where we will meet in the future, and in the future, if you have time, you can also come here to train by yourself." ”
The crowd looked at Sherlock in bewilderment, and it was clear that a clean white wall could not be equated with a concentration location.
"Of course." Sherlock paused slightly, and a brass door suddenly appeared on the wall, and Sherlock opened the door lock, and introduced, "This room is called the Requirement Room, and the way to enter is to face this wall and concentrate on what you need." ”
"Wow! It's amazing......" George and Fred sighed and then were very annoyed, the two of them had been in school for six years and didn't find this kind of place, it was simply too undeserved, and they should review it when they went back.
Follow Sherlock into the room in turn.
It's a big room. There was a torch lit inside.
The faint glow of the fire illuminates the large room.
In the corner of the room, there was a wooden bookshelf, and there were no chairs on the floor, but there were large satin cushions.
On the shelf at the other end of the room were various instruments such as speculums and secret detectors, as well as a large demon mirror with cracks.
"In the future, the members of the Sherlock Club will train here, and whether or not you can become a dark wizard depends on your efforts."
