  Chapter 1225 Secret broadcast

   "Harry, are you okay?"

  Hermione looked at Harry, who was depressed, with a worried face.

   "Not so good, I think I'm running out of patience."

  Harry stuffed a candy into his mouth, hoping to relieve his bad mood with a euphoria potion.

  Every time he went to see Professor Slughorn, Harry took the potion appropriately, but the effect was still not good. He even vaguely realized that Professor Slughorn knew the purpose of his intentional approach to him, but he just didn't want to expose it.

  This kind of battle of wits and courage, hypocritical exchanges, made Harry feel physically and mentally exhausted.

Perhaps, this has something to do with his realization that his efforts might turn into a joke, which really made Harry feel particularly irritable, and even wondered if he would be completely emotional after being ruthlessly rejected by Slughorn. out of control.

   "Don't worry, you will definitely succeed." Hermione comforted softly.

   "Honestly, I hate hearing that right now."

Harry chewed the candy in his mouth and threw a few more sedatives into his mouth before suppressing his inner irritability, "You always think I can succeed, but I don't have any confidence in myself, that kind of expectation Feeling disgusting."

  Hermione opened her mouth, but stopped talking.

   "You should go to Albert, not me, so that Albert can realize your good expectations."

  People's expectations weighed on Harry, and he hated it.

   "Harry..."

  Hermione looked at Harry's somewhat lonely back, and quickly chased after him. She didn't say any more words of comfort, but just followed silently, and followed Harry to the Room of Requirement on the eighth floor.

   That’s right, there’s no better place to let off steam than in the Room of Requirement.

  However, to their surprise, the Room of Requirement couldn't be opened again.

   "Damn it, why can't I get in again."

Harry violently beat the stone door of the Room of Requirement violently with his hands, took out a bottle from his pocket, threw all the sedatives in his mouth, chewed them up and swallowed them down, so that his emotions could be relieved to a certain extent. ease.

   "I have butterbeer over there, maybe it will make you feel better." Hermione suddenly suggested.

   "Where did you get the butterbeer?" Harry turned to look at Hermione in surprise.

   "It's prepared for the Wizarding Card Club competition. However, it's not a big deal to use up a bottle in advance." Hermione explained.

   She helped prepare for this year's wizard card competition. With Luna alone, the club probably will be completely disbanded in a short time.

   "How is the Wizard's Card Club?" Harry changed the subject to divert his attention.

   "It's not very good. Luna basically let it go. The members of the Wizard Card Club don't like to participate in the end of the month party. The original huge membership base has decreased a lot. This year's players almost didn't have enough players to participate in the competition."

  Hermione actually didn't understand why Albert chose Luna. If it was her, the situation would definitely not become so bad.

   "Who knows? That guy always likes to be mysterious, so don't guess what he's thinking."

   On their way back to the Gryffindor common room, the two ran into Ginny hurrying out of an empty classroom.

   After a while, Dean chased him out of the classroom.

   "What are you?"

"nothing."

  Dean smiled awkwardly at Harry and Hermione, and hurriedly chased in the direction Ginny left.

   "Do you think I should make it clear in the future that Quidditch players cannot fall in love." Harry frowned and looked at the back of the two leaving, and turned to Hermione.

   "Romance is generally unfavorable today!" Hermione suddenly sighed.

   "What?" Harry was a little confused.

   "Ron also broke up with Lavender," Hermione explained.

   "Oh, Ron finally got rid of Lavender." Harry wasn't too surprised.

"Just when you were looking for Professor Slughorn, Ron and Lavender broke up peacefully." Hermione glanced sideways at Harry and continued, "The reason is the one I mentioned last time." , Lavender was deeply moved by Ron's words, and expressed his willingness to wait."

   "She believed it?" Harry suddenly felt a little guilty.

   "We didn't lie to Lavender either." Hermione was very calm, "None of us can be sure that we will still be alive after the cruel wizard war is over."

  After a brief silence, Harry nodded in agreement with Hermione's statement.

   When the two of them stepped through the doorway and entered the Gryffindor common room, they found that it was eerily quiet inside. Most of the Gryffindor students sat quietly in their chairs, as if waiting for something.

  Harry looked around the common room and saw that Ron and Neville were fiddling with a radio, seeming to be tuning in.

   After a while, a familiar voice came from the radio.

   "...Today's program is a bit special." Lee Jordan's voice came from the radio, "Yesterday, Albert took the time to give us another class."

   “…people are definitely interested in the content…”

   "Before that, though, we need to introduce today's special guest, an expert who has been in the Auror profession for decades: Professor Moody."

   "I think many Hogwarts students should know him."

  This time it's George's voice.

   "Is there any secret broadcast from them today?"

  Harry and Hermione stood next to Ron, listening carefully to the content on the radio. The content of Professor Albert's "Defense Association" members was very surprised, because it was a bit different from what they imagined.

   Did not teach any complicated spells, nor taught any advanced skills, but only taught the most basic and common knowledge.

   "I have to say that what Mr. Anderson said is very solid." Professor Moody commented, "He knows exactly what you need."

   "You also think we need to learn these basics?" Lee Jordan couldn't help asking.

   "Yes, these foundations are actually more important than fancy spells." Moody continued, "Of course, some people may overlook one thing. Even if they want to learn, they actually need to have a certain foundation."

   "Why?" Fred asked for everyone.

"Most wizards in the British magic world have not undergone systematic combat training. It is simply ridiculous to ask them to fight dark wizards. Let them die." Moody cleared his throat and said, "With all due respect, many students Even if you graduated from Hogwarts, you don't know what fighting is, it's not that you think you can fight because you can use the stun spell, it's actually no different from waving a wooden stick in your hand."

"Of course, this has something to do with the more knowledge-oriented content taught in Defense Against the Dark Arts. I'm not saying that's bad, but this part of knowledge is actually helping you lay the foundation, and Hogwarts has never really taught you how to Fight the enemy."

   "So, you also agree with Mr. Anderson's training method?"

   "Yes, as long as you complete the most basic training, you can at least become a qualified fighter and have the ability to resist when encountering danger."

   "Why doesn't the Ministry of Magic do this?" George asked.

   "The Ministry of Magic is doing it, too, but slowly," Moody explained.

   "I heard that Harry held a DA party at Hogwarts to teach everyone how to fight."

"To be honest, the DA party is indeed useful, but the professor's Defense Against the Dark Arts..." Moody paused, and continued, "It should be said that the biggest use of this party is to let students who don't understand anything learn to pick up a wand to resist , Maybe they are not qualified fighters, but they have already taken the first step."

   "Because they have no formal training?" George asked for everyone.

   "No, because most of the students are still in the process of learning spells." Moody said calmly, "Just like babies learning speech, they are just starting out and need to lay a solid foundation first."

  “…When you are dueling with others, how embarrassing it is to miss the enemy’s spell, so it is necessary to train the accuracy of the spell and do basic exercises.”

   "Harry, should we also..." Neville looked sideways at Harry, seeking his opinion.

"We don't have that much time, and I think at this stage, everyone should master more useful magic." Harry shook his head and refused. Of course he knew that what was playing on the radio was also very reasonable, but sometimes it wasn't theirs. I don't want to learn, but they haven't reached that level yet.

In the case where most people can't even pronounce a spell well, it doesn't make much sense to blindly pursue accuracy. Take Apparition, which is very important to Albert, as "Mad-Eye" said, most Wizards can't even Apparate well, so don't expect them to be smart enough to Apparate in combat.

  The difficulty, even Harry can't imagine.

   "I think he taught you these things more to broaden your thinking, especially in terms of combat. Shooting magic at each other is absolutely the most stupid thing."

   On the radio, Professor Moody's explanation is still going on.

   "Although this is true for one-on-one duels, the experience requirements for combat are actually more stringent. In our opinion, a duel between ordinary wizards is more like two people fighting with sticks."

  Listening to the news on the radio, Ron said gloomily, "I feel like a fool!"

   "Of course, you don't need to worry, because most people in the entire British magic community are actually at this level."

   "You feel very touched by what Anderson said. That's because he is a top dueling master himself, so he can explain these things clearly to you."

   "Actually, I think Minister Scrimgeour should hire him as an Auror trainer."

   "Why not the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor?" Li Jordan asked curiously.

"Students at Hogwarts need to lay a solid foundation and don't need this part of knowledge, but to become a qualified Auror, there are some things that need to be mastered." Moody said calmly: "Of course, we have to admit that Auror Bert would be a good teacher, you can always hear him teaching how to protect yourself, and Defense Against the Dark Arts is obviously the most important thing in this regard, we learn it more to protect our own safety than to hurt others .”
