Harry Potter and the Legend of the Temple

Chapter 375 Dumbledore’s Army (Part 2)

"What are you looking at?"

Louis walked over and found Astoria holding a book and chewing on it with gusto.

This didn't seem like her style, and although Astoria had good grades, she was definitely not the kind of person who liked to read.

"The Self-Defense Guide to Dark Arts." Astoria showed him the title of the book. "I always feel that I have to learn something first, otherwise I will teach it later."

"Snapped."

Lewis closed the book with his hand, and pulled her up from the sofa with one hand.

"Come on, don't be nervous. Your current knowledge is enough to teach them." He smiled, "Leave the rest to me."

The last group of people were the Hufflepuff students who followed Ernie in, and Rolf was among them, but his face didn't look very good.

"Sorry we're late." Ernie was obviously out of breath. "Cedric stopped us in the common room. Fortunately, Rolf was there, otherwise we wouldn't have known how to get out."

"Did you quarrel with him?"

"Nothing, just a few small things." Rolf took a deep breath and shook his head, "Can we start?"

"Okay, everyone, come here. We have plenty of time to visit the rest." Louis directed everyone to move closer to him. "We discussed it. Before we officially start, we have a few questions that need to be clarified."

"First of all, who will lead our study group and organization?" Hermione said.

"Then you still need to ask?" Zarais Smith said, "Aren't you already sure? Of course it's Wiggins."

"Yes, he is the leader."

"Yes, but I think we have to go through a process." Hermione continued, "This way there won't be any problems later."

"So, does anyone object to Louis being the leader?"

No one raised their hands, no doubt about that.

"Thank you everyone." Louis said, "Then, I want Harry and Astoria to be my teaching assistants to help everyone practice, and Hermione and Ron to help me with daily management. Because in addition to this study group, I also have There are a lot of things about myself. If you have any questions about spells, you can ask them both. Do you have any opinions on this? "

Lewis pointed to the two partners beside him respectively. But regarding this matter, there were slightly different voices among the crowd.

There is no doubt about Harry's strength. They all recognized this in the previous gatherings. The key is Astoria.

Although she had dispelled everyone's suspicion by taking the lead in signing the paper, it still felt a little strange to have a fourth-year Slytherin student teach them Defense Against the Dark Arts.

Finally, after everyone's fierce debate, the number of assistants was expanded to three, and the third one was Cho Chang of Ravenclaw who was elected.

Each person is responsible for teaching their own ten students, and Louis will make the group decision. Of course, he will also give some advice to the assistants if necessary.

"The next thing is the name." Hermione responded quickly and immediately formulated the next step. "We should have a name that promotes unity and collective honor."

"Call it the Anti-Umbridge Society?" Angelina suggested.

"Or are all the people calling the Ministry of Magic idiots?"

"I was wondering... shouldn't we choose a name that is too obvious?" Hermione thought, "After all, we can't let others know what we are doing, and we can't call it too reactionary."

"How about the Defense Association?" Qiu said, "D.A. Who knows what we are doing."

"D.A. Yes," Ginny agreed, "D.A. can also be called another name,"

"Dumbledore's Army." Louis said, "I think this is what you should say."

"Yes, he is the person the Ministry of Magic fears most, isn't he?" Ginny said happily.

"Not only Ginny from the Ministry of Magic, but also You-Know-Who." Michael Corner reminded from the side.

There was a roar of approval. Everyone thought this name was good.

"So, you all think D.A. is good?" Hermione asked, then raised her head and counted the votes, "The minority obeys the majority. Well, from today on, our study group will be called D.A."

She pinned the list and placed it on the wall, with a few words written in large letters on it: Dumbledore's Army.

"Okay, now we can start practicing."

She returned to Lewis as if she had finished something big.

"We won't be training in groups today. We need to understand what the basics of Defense Against the Dark Arts are."

Louis walked up to everyone and handed everyone a piece of paper with more than a dozen spells, but these spells seemed extremely basic, including common battle spells such as Expelliarmus and Stun.

"Wait a minute, I want to ask." Zarais came out, "We don't want to start learning these spells, right?"

"Yes, Smith, what do you think?"

"But we took such a big risk here, not to learn these useless things." He retorted, "I saw last year, you were able to defeat the dragon with those ancient magics. I think you should teach us those ancient magics."

"Useless thing?" Louis put down the paper and looked at him, "Do you really think the spell Expelliarmus is useless?"

Faced with Louis' aggressiveness, Zarais was speechless for a moment.

"I can tell you clearly that these are the most basic spells of Defense Against the Dark Arts. Although they are very basic, I am sure that few of you can cast them completely skillfully. If you don't believe it, we can make one test."

"Besides, the useless spells in your mouth have saved our lives on different occasions. If you think it's too easy, you can leave."

Zarais stepped back, and the room suddenly became quiet, but it was also at Lewis's suggestion that more than 20 people began to be tested.

The result was even worse than Louis imagined. Many people could not cast the spell completely, not to mention the junior students who participated in the activity. Natasha was struggling to recite the spell without Elise's help. Neville could not even cast the spell. I can't even use the disarming spell.

Others either pronounced it incorrectly, were very slow, or lacked strong willpower, and the effect of the spell they released was unsatisfactory.

However, to Louis' surprise, Raven performed better than most of the people present.

"Okay, okay, you should have realized your shortcomings, so basic skills are necessary."

Louis said when the last lower grade boy to be tested went down with a red face.

"Next, I will explain the principles and casting techniques of these spells. You need to practice in pairs. The first is the waving of the wand. I just discovered that many of you cast spells in the wrong way, which will waste a lot of money. Time, the real battle is about the speed and reaction of both sides. If the two sides are equal in strength, whoever has the faster spell will have the upper hand."
