Hermione was a man of action and soon founded the Defence Against the Dark Arts Club.

Although Albert didn't know how she managed to convince Harry Potter, Hermione did manage to get Harry and Ron to join the club.

The only problem is that they don't have a place to practice magic.

Naturally, Albert couldn't tell them the secret of the Room of Requirement, after all, it had always been the place where he and Isobel dated, and once many people knew about the existence of the Room of Requirement, they would not be able to use it well in the future.

Hermione had thought of asking Albert to teach them, and if that would surely attract a large number of students to the club. Unfortunately, Albert didn't plan to be so swaggering for the time being, and it didn't match the original purpose of doing so, so he simply refused.

However, in order to show his support for Hermione, Albert introduced Hermione to several practical Defence Against the Dark Arts books and encouraged her to consult Professor Lockhart if she didn't understand.

In fact, Albert had already guessed Hermione's idea, and first increased the number of people in the club, and then invited Professor Lockhart to take the time to teach them, so that Harry would not resist.

In just a few days, the club has grown to five and is on the verge of further expansion.

At this moment, the five people led by Hermione were sitting not far from Albert, discussing the obstacle spell they had been practicing recently.

This was Albert's advice to Hermione, the obstacle spell was a very useful spell, and the way to practice it was very simple: throw a ball of paper at the opponent and use the spell to stop the ball in the air.

The obstacle spell was still a bit difficult for young wizards who were new to magic, but they enjoyed it, even though Ginny and Colin didn't join the club to learn Defence Against the Dark Arts in the first place, but they were now talking about training with great enthusiasm.

"I think you could start a Defence Against the Dark Arts club," Fred retracted his gaze from Harry's side, and suggested to Albert, who was flipping through the Daily Prophet next to him, "Since Professor Lockhart came to teach Defence Against the Dark Arts, we have learned very little useful things. ”

"If you are willing to teach everyone, I believe many people will be willing to ......"

"I don't want to. As you know, I don't have that much time and energy. Albert interrupted dryly, "I have twelve classes to take every week, a lot of homework, and time to go to several professors' clubs, so I really don't have time." ”

"Every time you use these excuses, I get tired of hearing them. George was unimpressed, knowing that Albert would have a way to find time if he wanted to. After all, this guy knows what to call a "doppelganger spell", although they still haven't figured out how Albert did it.

"It's not an excuse, it's the way it is, I'm really busy. Albert turned to the second page of the newspaper, and was considering that it would only be a weekly newspaper in the future, and the content of the daily newspaper was really not nutritious, it was all messy and.

"Don't think I don't know, you're busy dating every day. Fred couldn't help but roll his eyes at Albert.

"I heard that Dumbledore had booked a skeleton dance troupe for this year's Halloween dinner. Lee Jordan walked over and told a few roommates about the good news he had just heard.

"Are the Skull Dance Troupe famous?" asked Albert, closing the newspaper.

"Of course it's famous, but you don't know?"

Several of them looked at Albert with incredulous eyes, as if they were looking at some rare animal.

"The Skull Dance Troupe is going to blow your mind. Lee Jordan said excitedly, "Tickets for the Skull Dance Company have always been hard to come by, and they are super expensive, and it is really exciting that the principal can invite them to perform at the school." ”

"I'll look forward to it a little bit. Albert said casually

"Are you really not thinking about what I just proposed?" Fred still didn't give up, he thought that Hermione's idea of a Defence Against the Dark Arts Club was a good idea.

People should learn to help themselves.

"It's like I don't have to do homework. ”

Albert suddenly looked up at the owl flying in this direction, and a package was thrown in front of him, with a letter on it.

However, what attracted the most attention of several people was that the package actually trembled.

"What is this?"

Several people were apparently taken aback by the odd package.

George raised his hand and poked at the package, lowered his voice and said, "Someone should send you something strange?"

"There was a letter on it. Lee Jordan reminded as he took the letter from the package and glanced at the sender's name, "It was Hagrid who sent it to you." ”

With that, he handed the letter to Albert.

Albert glanced at the untidy handwriting, then opened it and took out the letterhead.

"Will we be able to unwrap the package?"

Fred was really curious about what was in the package, so he asked Albert for advice, and he didn't think Albert would open such a strange package himself.

"Take it apart!" Albert did not object, "Hagrid probably won't send anything dangerous." ”

Hagrid's perception of danger doesn't seem to be the same as that of ordinary people. ”

Albert added in his mind.

He knew that Hagrid had been friends with the Eight-Eyed Spider, had bought a three-headed Greek dog at a pig's head bar, and had secretly kept a dragon in his home.

However, Albert was not too worried about Hagrid sending him anything dangerous, not to mention that the person who opened the package was not himself.

He began to read Hagrid's letter, which said two things:

Professor Wilmina Graplane seems to have other magical creatures to take care of and is unable to serve as a professor of magical creatures at Hogwarts for long.

The suspicious item in the package is The Monster Book of the Monsters, which is Hagrid's choice of textbook, and he hopes that Albert can give him some advice.

Final remarks:

Be careful, it will bite.

A stroking of the spine will calm it down.

"What is this, damn it, it actually bites. It hurts, help me get it off. ”

An angry voice rang out from the side, and when Albert looked sideways, he saw that Fred had been bitten by the "Yokai Book of Monsters" and was shaking it violently, trying to shake the book off his hand.

After George and Lee Jordan reacted, they hurriedly stepped forward to help Fred tear the book off his hand, and the book fell to the ground and immediately ran under the table, like some kind of crab.

"What the hell did Hagrid send you? Fred grumbled at Albert as he checked the injury on the back of his hand, "Who the hell said this thing wasn't dangerous?"

Ignoring Fred's complaining gaze, Albert drew his wand and swung it to float the book, then conjured a rope out of thin air to tie it up.

"Okay, now it's safe. Albert threw the book on the table, and although the thing still trembled occasionally, it was evident that it could no longer bite.

"How could Hagrid send you this?" asked George, curious, "This thing looks like a mad dog." ”

"It's called 'Yokai Book of Yokai'. Well, you heard it right, it's a book. ”

"You're sure it's a book, I think it looks like some kind of dangerous magical beast. Fred bites the word danger very hard.

"You'd better go to Madam Pomfrey and take care of the wound so it doesn't leave a scar. As he spoke, Albert reached out and gently stroked the spine of the book, and "The Book of Monsters of the Monsters" immediately became very peaceful.

"It's really unlucky, you have a way to subdue him, why didn't you say it earlier. Fred grumbled and complained.

Hagrid wrote in the letter. Albert stuffed the book into his backpack, "Let's go, go to Madam Pomfrey, I don't think you want to leave a scar." ”

All three understood the meaning of Albert's words, and they all accompanied Fred to the school hospital.

Halfway through, Albert tells them that Hagrid intends to apply to become a professor of the protection of magical creatures.

"Oh my God, don't tell me, that thing you have is Hagrid's textbook. ”

The three of them were not good all at once.

Rumors of Professor Kettleber's illness had long since spread throughout the school, and Professor Grapeland temporarily took over the protection of magical creatures.

"I thought Professor Grapeland would take over Professor Kettleber's place. Fred really couldn't imagine what Hagrid would be like after he took over the protection of magical creatures.

Albert could understand the trio's feelings, but they weren't the only ones disappointed. Many people thought that Professor Grapeland would succeed Professor Kettleber.

"Anyway, next year will be the last year. Albert didn't pay much attention to it. He also doesn't plan to continue his studies in the Conservation of Magical Beasts class.

In fact, even Muggle studies, divination classes, the history of magic, and astronomy were going to be abandoned by the sixth year.
