Chapter 109: The Rebooted Dueling Club
The contradiction was quickly transferred.
Before Sirius, who had entered the palace, had been kicked out of the school infirmary by Madame Pomry, a copy of the Daily Prophet had Sparkle placed at the head of Edge's bed.
In the space of a week, Voldemort attacked three homes, leaving behind signs. "Bold and unscrupulous!" That's the Ministry of Magic's comment.
"But we're confident of keeping the wizarding world safe." The Aurors intensified their patrols for this manifesto. The situation has only improved, and there has been no news of Voldemort for a long time.
But what Aitch saw was the horror of Voldemort's intentions. Because Dumbledore destroyed Voldemort's last Horcruxes, Voldemort no longer had any scruples and no longer concealed the ferocity of his nature.
Darkness enveloped the entire wizarding world.
In the battle of the Ministry of Magic, Voldemort has realized that he is not Dumbledore's opponent yet, and he and Dumbledore are already in a situation where they are not dying. So in order to save his life, he desperately needed to make another Horcrux, just like he had done fifteen years ago.
Originally, almost everyone was panicking, except for Slytherin, because they thought that Voldemort was still the same Voldemort back then, and he was working hard for that pure-blood to rule the wizarding world.
Their illusions were soon shattered, and an anonymous author's remarks in Contradiction not only reaffirmed the fact that the Slytherin heir was someone else, but also dealt Voldemort a heavy blow by rightfully revealing that Voldemort's mother had bound his Muggle father with an aphrodisiac potion.
Edge's anonymous publication has sparked rejection of Voldemort in the hearts of many hesitant and vacillating wizards. If a person fights for a class or a group, he will have helpers, but now that Voldemort can't give the benefit of following hope, how many people will join him?
At least not until Voldemort strikes the door, as most wizards trust Dumbledore, the Ministry of Magic, the Slytherin heir Edge, and the rumored savior Harry.
When night fell, a figure came into the Hogwarts infirmary, and he stood beside Edge's bedside.
"Good evening, Dumbledore."
"Good evening, Edge." Dumbledore was a little tired, and the wrinkles on his face showed his aging even more.
Dumbledore pouted, "It's a bad situation, we got to the scene of the incident, and they've already run away." ”
"If this continues, Voldemort may actually be able to make another Horcrux."
But Aiqi is still optimistic about this, and it has been said before that the later the production of Horcruxes, the more kills are required. In the original book, Voldemort didn't make another Horcrux, let alone now!
Under Edge's interference, Voldemort was suppressed and only recently started, and the number of Death Eaters who aided in the abuse also dropped considerably. At the same time, the Ministry of Magic is not a dry meal, and every household in the magical world has taken more precautions in advance.
"I want to restart the Dueling Club." Dumbledore stated the purpose of coming tonight.
This project was once in the second year, but after one or two assemblies with Professor Lockhart, the students couldn't help but have a kind of rejection of it. What's more, the assistant is still Snape, and apart from Slytherin, the other three houses don't like it at all.
These two reasons have caused the popularity of the Dueling Club to plummet, and the school has not heard of it since the third grade. Dumbledore is now saying that the purpose is to make the Defence Against the Dark Arts class more practical.
Aitch and Dumbledore looked at each other and listened to him, "I heard that you used to make up lessons for both Malfoy and Mr. Longbottom......
Dumbledore wanted Aitch to help him set up the Dueling Club when he was discharged from the hospital.
"I hope that in the future, Harry, they will all be able to save themselves." Dumbledore made Aitch a little unclear, was he really a person shrouded in holy light?
Because O.W.Ls is just as important, most professors are largely reluctant to restart the dueling club - "It's going to distract them!" And Hogwarts is safe, there will be no war. Professor McGonagall objected. Originally, it was not impossible to let Professor Snape be the mentor.
But because of the leaked prophecy, Snape is now trying to avoid seeing Harry again, except for the Defense Against the Dark Arts class, and even when he meets Harry in the corridor, he doesn't deduct his points, which makes Gryffindor happy for a long time. But here's the thing: Harry's performance in the First Battle of the Ministry of Magic was so worrying that Aitch had to do "some" for Snape.
Dumbledore was sure of Edge's "kindness" and would definitely agree, and immediately inform him of the time of the next dueling club.
It's still in the Great Hall, and compared with the dueling club a few years ago, it's less fancy and more serious.
Aitch stepped onto the stage in the middle of the Great Hall, "Headmaster Dumbledore doesn't want you to use what the Dueling Club professor gave you one day," Aitch glanced around the people around, "but in this situation, I think you all want to be more powerful and have more security for yourself." ”
Edge's opening speech used resonance to grab everyone's attention.
"First, let's review the disarming charm." Aitch said. Because the dueling club has only taught two classes, the impression of all the students (old and new) is equivalent to a blank slate, which is easy for Aitch to teach - everything starts all over again.
"Come up, Neville." Aitch introduced his assistant, and Neville was accompanied by Gryffindor's applause, led by the three Harry, making the somewhat shy boy even more reserved.
Neville thanked his classmates and pulled out his wand and held it in front of him.
"The Disarming Charm is a spell that is not commonly used in a duel of the life and death, don't try to block it with your body, because it will hurt you to let go of your wand." Aitch bared his teeth. "A simple and effective spell is more effective in a duel than a death curse."
"I'll count," Aitch said to give a demonstration, saluting Neville and reciting a mantra.
"Except for your weapons!"
But those present heard two sounds, and it was clear that Aitch was quicker, taking the lead in striking Neville's wand.
"Not bad, Neville." Aitch didn't forget to give him an encouragement.
Then he continued to explain to the people below, "Chanting a mantra is fast and cheap, and it can help you take advantage of the duel." If I were you, no matter what kind of magic you had, you would have to try to master the spell while memorizing it, and your opponent would not honestly give you the opportunity to recite the spell. ”
"Next, I will practice in a team freely, and it will be the same in the future." Aitch added, beckoning Neville to help, "Neville, you go and help the juniors get a better grasp of this spell." ”
