No one knew why Ron reacted this way, maybe it was because Henrietta had angered Harry, maybe the word "escape" was particularly irritating to Ron, and in any case, he looked at Henrietta with bad intentions, as if the last thing he wanted to do right now was punch him.

As if sensing Ron's malice, Henrietta's face flushed.

"Well, we came here to learn from him, and he told us he wasn't really capable of anything," Henrietta said.

"That's not what he said," Fred growled.

"Do you want us to clean your ears?" George said questioningly, pulling a heel of long, deadly-looking metal tools from one of Jokowi's bags.

"Or any part of your body, really, we don't care where he is poked," Fred said.

"Oh, well," Hermione said hurriedly, "go on...... The point is, do we all agree that we want to learn from Harry and Van Lin?"

"Van Lin, wait a minute, you said this guy?" Henrietta looked at Van Lin next to Hermione in confusion, "We're not ......"

"Shut up, boy, do you know what you're talking about?" Fred grew angrier, even raising his fist menacingly.

"Yes, that's right, it's me, in fact, I'm just playing a supporting role......" Van Lin paused slightly, "Harry is indeed better suited to you, but ......"

"But what Van Lin, didn't I mean to help you, and you to teach us Defence Against the Dark Arts......" Harry said puzzled, "and, you ...... better than me."

"But it's not for everyone. Van Lin paused slightly, "In fact, the purpose of bringing everyone here is not to hold a teaching class similar to Defence Against the Dark Arts, we are just to provide an opportunity and a platform for everyone to communicate, and even, so that everyone can better survive, whether it is a battle, or an ordinary wizard level exam, I believe everyone knows that Umbridge's way will make us all hang up, whether it is the exam or reality, I believe you also have some experience." ”

"Yes, Professor Umbridge's way, I don't have the confidence to pass the ordinary wizard level exam at all, in fact, with the contents of her book alone, I am not sure that I can cast a normal spell. Qiu said cautiously, but no one refuted.

Defence Against the Dark Arts doesn't have to practice spells?

It's just a joke.

There was a chorus of appreciative discussion. Henrietta clasped her arms to her chest and said nothing, though it may have been because he was busy paying attention to the metal tool in Fred's hand, or perhaps he had been well warned by Fred.

Questioning Harry, challenging a wizard who is much more powerful than him, this kind of stupidity is almost intolerable to a wizard, at least in the original.

Sometimes Van Lin felt that he was really fit for the wizarding life of an earlier time, rather than the current ......

"Alright," Hermione said, looking relieved that things had finally been decided. "So, then, the next question is how often do we get together. I really think we're going to meet at least once a week......"

"That depends," said Gulla, "and we need to make sure it doesn't clash with our Quidditch practice." ”

"Yes......" said Aki, "and...... Nor can it conflict with us. ”

"Neither can it be with us," Henrietta said, opening her mouth.

"I'm sure we'll find a night out for everyone," Hermione said, looking a little impatient, "but you know, it's important, we're talking about how to protect ourselves from Voldemort's Death Eaters......"

"That's good!" Ernie exclaimed, Harry thought he would have spoken up long ago for the boy who trusted him, "I personally think it's really important, maybe more important than everything we've done this year, even if the regular wizard exams are coming. ”

Ernie looked around excitedly, as if waiting for people to shout "Of course not!"

But no one spoke, and it was embarrassing. So he continued: "I, personally, I don't understand why the Ministry of Magic is shoving such a useless teacher into us at this grim time. Obviously, they don't admit that the man is back, but give us a teacher who actively prevents us from using defensive spells-"

"We think the reason Umbridge didn't want us to be trained in Defence Against the Dark Arts," Hermione said, "was because she had a ...... There was a crazy idea that Dumbledore would treat the students at school like some kind of private army. She thinks he'll mobilize us against the Ministry of Magic. ”

Almost everyone was dumbfounded when they heard this, everyone except Luna.

It seems that Luna is not surprised, and she looks like she has seen through the essence, but Van Lin is very suspicious of what Luna is thinking in her little head at the moment.

Luna went on to say, "Yes, it's very likely. Anyway, the minister also has his own army. ”

"What?" said Harry, stunned by the unexpected news.

"Really, he has an army of heliopaths," Luna said with a serious face.

"No, he didn't," Hermione said suddenly.

"No, he has," Luna said.

"What is it?" asked Neville, looking dazed.

"They're the spirits of fire," Luna said, her bulging eyes widening to make her look crazier than usual, "tall, searing creatures that burn everything in front of them as they swell on the earth—"

"There is no such thing, Neville," Hermione said sharply.

"Oh no, they exist!" Luna said angrily.

"I'm sorry, but where is the evidence?" Hermione said hurriedly.

"There are a lot of eyewitness reports. It's just that you're too narrow-minded, and you need everything to be squeezed under your nose—"

The argument between Luna and Hermione was very awkward for a while, and no one could get into the quarrel between two girls who didn't speak well, especially the two smart girls.

Anyway, the boys are dumbfounded, but fortunately, there are still a lot of smart girls.

"Uh-huh, h-huh," Ginny coughed, mimicking Umbridge, so much so that some of them looked around and laughed.

"Can we decide how often we should get together and take a defense lesson?"

"Yes," Hermione said immediately, perhaps thinking that continuing to argue with Luna would lead to nothing, Hermione was more inclined to speak with the facts, and, moreover, quarrel with a crazy girl......

"Yes, we're about to do that, you're right, Ginny. Hermione replied quickly, "I'm sure there's nothing wrong with Van Lin and Harry. ”

"Well, once a week sounds good," Lee Jordan said.

"Just—" Gula began.

"Yes, yes, we know Quidditch training," Hermione said in a nervous tone. "So, the next thing to decide is where we meet ......"

To decide that this is more difficult, everyone is silent.

"Library?" Thomas suggested after a moment.

"I don't think Mrs. Pins would be happy that we vandalized the library," Harry said.

"Maybe there's a classroom that doesn't work?" Colin said.

"yes," Ron said, "Mrs. McGonagall might let us use hers, which she had lent Harry to when he was preparing for the Warriors. ”
