Raven's Claw at Hogwarts

Chapter 366 Lessons

That afternoon, everyone returned to the school after just visiting Hogsmeade village for a while. To Mike's surprise, Harry and Ron did not request to visit the Room of Requirement in advance, but went directly to the Quidditch pitch Started training.

Originally, the major teams should also rest on weekends. However, since Harry has been locked up almost all the time this semester, the training time has been greatly reduced, so the Gryffindor team has no choice but to rest on weekends. Time to practice.

And Ron, who went to the stadium with Harry, had long planned to participate in the selection of the Gryffindor Quidditch team, so he basically stayed near the Gryffindor Quidditch school team during this time. Dangling, probably trying to make it familiar.

Since Hufflepuff lost Cedric, a powerful seeker this year, and Mike of Ravenclaw also made it clear that he would not participate in the competition, the chances of Gryffindor winning the championship this year are very high.This also brought Harry and Ron to have a good vision for the future, and they worked harder in training.

It's a pity that there is never a shortage of accidents in this world.

It was noon on Monday, but when Mike returned to the auditorium after class, he saw a large circle of people near the notice board in the auditorium.

Walking in and taking a look, Mike found that there was only a good parchment shop left on the notice board that should have posted various magic joke props, Quidditch team recruitment, and Potion Club recruitment advertisements. Notice on:

Hogwarts High Inquisitor Order
All student organizations, associations, teams or clubs are hereby dissolved.

Organizations, associations, teams, and clubs are hereby defined to mean regular opportunities for three or more students.

Reconstruction can be requested from the High Inquisitor (Professor Umbridge).

No student organisations, associations, teams and clubs shall exist without the approval of the Senior Inquiry Officer.

Any student found forming or participating in any organization, association, team or club without the approval of the Senior Investigating Officer will be immediately expelled.

The above regulations echo the "No.20 No. [-] Education Order"

Signed: Senior Inquisitor - Dolores Umbridge.

Around the notice board, many people were complaining, because the famous Quidditch school team and many clubs including Wizard Chess were within the scope of this notice.

This means that these organizations and associations that can bring laughter to the students will be disbanded on the spot, or Umbridge will fire them all.

This made many senior students feel angry. After all, the life of Hogwarts seniors was already very depressing, and now that there were so many less entertainment activities, their student careers undoubtedly fell into darkness.

However, there are still many people who are optimistic about this, because it is also said in the notice that as long as they pass Umbridge's review, those organizations can be re-established.

Many people believed that Umbridge would never revoke a sport as popular as Quidditch.

As for niche sports clubs like the Gobstone Club and the Wizards Chess Club, their chances of surviving are slim.

But at the same time, everyone has been thinking about a question, that is, isn't Umbridge sent to the hospital?

Why is it still possible to issue an executive order now?
Mike was also thinking about it. Umbridge's injury looked serious this time, but in fact, it was the same in the eyes of Madam Pomfrey, a famous doctor, so it is understandable that he regained his working ability in just two days. of.

But what puzzled Mike was why Umbridge was so courageous?
How dare she continue to rule Hogwarts with a high-handed policy on the premise that she has clearly issued a death warning to her? Isn't she afraid that she will really be assassinated?
While everyone was jumping up and down because of this notice, Umbridge was in a daze in his office.

At this moment, most of the plaster and bandages on her body have been removed, and she seems to have regained her mobility.

But her expression was very ugly, it could be described as a dead horse.

What caused all this was a piece of mail that was placed in front of her at the moment, a letter from the Ministry of Magic.

This letter mercilessly rejected Umbridge's request to withdraw from the Ministry of Magic, and even directly issued her next job at Hogwarts - to eliminate and control student associations or collectives.

Now Umbridge is desperate. She has just received a death threat on her front foot, and then she has received a document from the Ministry of Magic asking her to step up her efforts.

After struggling for a long time, she finally followed the order of the Ministry of Magic and issued an order to revoke all associations.

There was no way around it. If he disobeyed the orders of the Ministry of Magic, his career would basically come to an end. Even if Minister Fudge hated him, he might be transferred to a very bad position.

Compared to losing her life, Umbridge is more unwilling to spend her whole life in a little-known department like Arthur Weasley - this is a great humiliation to her!
Now she can only pray deep in her heart that the group of conspirators headed by Professor McGonagall will not take into account the small matter of student association management, otherwise her life may be accounted for here.

At the same time, in the Hogwarts auditorium, Harry, Ron and the others had already read the notice on the notice board.

"Oh! That's great! Looks like now you can finally stop that damn Quidditch practice for a while and get your attention back to your studies."

Hermione smiled, she seemed very optimistic about Umbridge's order this time.

And this made Harry and Ron, who were extremely disappointed, curl their lips.

"Fortunately, you can still laugh, our Defense Against the Dark Arts team is also within the scope of this prohibition."

Ron reminded Hermione 'kindly', but to his surprise, Hermione had a smug face when she heard the words, and said:
"I'm not worried. You must know that the members of our team have all signed contracts!"

"What contract?"

"It's the parchment on which I asked them to write their names. It's actually a magic contract, but the betrayers will be punished as they should."

Both Harry and Ron were so shocked that they couldn't speak for a while, and Mike next to him heard that this was coming forward and said with a smile:

"You've gone too far. The curse attached to the contract is extremely difficult to remove. If the person being punished is unlucky, the curse may cause permanent damage to him."

"How do you know..." Hermione was taken aback at first, and then argued as if she had figured out something, "I just hope they can keep it secret, it's just an insurance measure."

Hermione's voice became smaller and smaller, and finally disappeared.

"Even if it's an insurance measure, you should tell them the consequences of breaking your promise." Mike continued, "Your behavior now seems to have set a trap, a trap that is of no benefit to anyone."

"Okay! Okay! I know!" Hermione said with a small face flushed. "I'll tell them the truth!"

"It's better to hit the sun than choose the day. I suggest that we start the first meeting of our Defense Against the Dark Arts team tonight."

Hearing that a trace of reluctance flashed across Hermione's face, Mike saw all this in his eyes, knowing that Hermione was afraid of the scolding he might receive after telling them, so he couldn't help shaking his head.

In his opinion, Hermione was still too young to understand the principle of stop loss.

This incident may cause certain losses if it breaks out now, but if you don’t touch it all the time, although it looks safe on the surface, if it suddenly explodes one day, the consequences will be far away. It is much worse than the consequences of actively piercing today.

Thinking of this, Mike sighed and said to everyone:
"That's it. You can find a way to inform everyone. We will meet there at ten o'clock tonight."

……

Even though she was reluctant, Hermione cooperated with Harry and Ron to pass the news of the upcoming class of Defense Against the Dark Arts to every member.

And the way they pass the news is also very simple, one by one to find.

This kind of work is undoubtedly hard and cumbersome, especially when many members always like to run around. The three of Harry almost ran all over Hogwarts this day to complete the task of notifying the members.

And this day's excessive exercise also caused them to be listless and pale when they reached the eighth floor of Hogwarts.

"I feel this is more tiring than practicing Quidditch all day!"

Harry panted heavily and said in despair, while Ron beside him also echoed:

"Who says it's not, my legs have no feeling!"

"Okay, stop talking nonsense!" Hermione looked at the wall in front of her and swallowed nervously, "Let's go in now."

After all, Hermione walked back and forth in front of the tapestry three times according to the method taught by Mike before, while silently reciting the spell practice room in her heart.

Without a sound, a smooth wooden door suddenly appeared on the wall.

Harry and the others looked at each other in blank dismay, the surprise in everyone's eyes even washed away a lot of the original look of fatigue.

"crunch~"

The door to the Room of Requirement was opened, and the three of Harry entered in a file. What appeared in front of them was a huge training room covering an area of ​​more than [-] square meters, which not only contained most of the training rooms needed for spell training Teaching materials, and even a special rest area.

At this moment, the rest area is already crowded with people. Mike and the members of the Mutual Aid Club have already arrived here, and now they are drinking tea and chatting happily.

"Hey! Harry!" Franklin waved excitedly at Harry and the others, "Come here, we've been waiting for you for a long time!"

"Oh, oh!"

He was writing a lot about the internal structure of the Response Room, and waited for Harry and the others to react after hearing the words, and walked quickly thinking about taking a break.

As soon as she arrived in the rest area, Hermione was attracted by the rows of books filled with bookshelves.

"My God! My God!" Hermione excitedly extended a finger across the rows of books in large thick sheepskin books, ""Common Spells and Solutions", "Outsmarting the Dark Arts", "Self-Defense" Spell Collection "..."

She recited the title of the book excitedly, and then quickly twitched a copy of "Collection of Fighting Drugs with Poison" and sat on the nearest seat to read it.

Seeing this, Mike laughed silently. Most of the books here were supplemented by him from various places, while the rest were originally here.

Now it seems that the effect is not bad, at least Hermione has been completely conquered.

At this moment, there was a light knock on the door, and Mike looked up and found that Ginny, Neville and others had arrived.

"This...here..."

Looking at the luxurious Response Room, Neville was so startled that he couldn't speak. Although Ginny and the others beside him weren't that exaggerated, they didn't look much better.

As a last resort, Mike could only go forward again and explain the origin and effect of the Response Room.

Ten minutes later, as the wall clock on the wall chimed the hour, Mike also closed the door of the Room of Response.

The agreed time has arrived. Unlike what was expected, two of the people who signed the contract in the Pig's Head Bar have not yet arrived, but Mike is not going to wait for them. After all, Mike doesn't like people who don't pay attention to the concept of time. .

"Ha! You did a great job!" Ron exclaimed excitedly when he saw this, "People like Michael Kona who don't pay attention to the concept of time should be rejected!"

Mike looked at Ron in confusion, and he didn't know if it was his illusion. Mike felt that Ron's eyes were always drifting towards Ginny when he said this.

"what happened to him?"

"Um, a little problem." Faced with Mike's question, Harry hesitated for a moment before replying in a low voice, "Ginny is dating that Michael Kona, and Ron doesn't seem to like that Michael very much."

Hearing this, Mike immediately understood that it turned out that Ron was troubled because of his sister's emotional life. This is really the trouble that every brother must experience in his life.

"Hey! It's not a question of whether I like it or not! That Michael is not a good guy, he is definitely not good enough for my Ginny!"

Ron, who heard the conversation between Mike and Harry, said so.

It could be seen that he was very emotional at the moment, because he spoke very loudly, which caused almost everyone nearby to hear him.

Ginny's face was completely red, she stomped the floor angrily, and then quickly ran to where George and Fred were.

Not long after, Ron was carried away by his two brothers. Seeing George and Fred's 'goodwill' smiles when they faced Ron, both of them mourned for Ron for a few seconds.

The happy time is always short, but when Ron returned to Harry rubbing his sore shoulder, Mike had already stood up and snapped his fingers silently.

"Snapped!"

The crisp sound was not loud, but it was transmitted to the minds of everyone present under the influence of magic, causing them to look at Mike involuntarily.

And until now, a smile appeared on Mike's face, and he opened his hands and said:
"Everyone, it's getting late. Let's start the first class right now!"
