Sirius's information that Foggy was worried that the students were undergoing combat training infuriated them, and at the same time, made them even more interested in learning magic from Elwyn. Hermione, in particular, had been thinking about it, and now that she heard Sirius's hint, she simply proposed to form an army.
Since this was what the Ministry of Magic feared the most, they insisted on doing the opposite.
Even if they were discovered and expelled by the Ministry of Magic, they would not hesitate. They would fight the Ministry of Magic to the end.
In Sirius's words, it was better to be expelled in self-defense than to sit safely in school in the dark.
The war had begun the moment Lord Voldemort returned, and they could not stay in the Hogwarts and do nothing.
Because they had to be prepared to fight Lord Voldemort and the Death Eaters at any time, practicing combat and improving their strength had become more important than studying and taking exams.
It had to be said that it was quite surprising to hear such words come from Hermione's mouth.
And once she decided to do something passionately, or thought that her reason was correct, she would definitely follow through and never give up. No matter how many school rules this matter would violate, Hermione did not care.
Just like now, no matter how busy she was, she would take time out every week to go to the kitchen to teach the house-elves about S.P.E.W.'s philosophy. In fact, apart from Dobby, no one listened to her, but she still did not give up.
If it were not for Elwyn's persuasion, Hermione would have wanted to sew clothes for the house-elves …
Since they were going to form an army for combat training, the first thing they had to do was to "recruit".
With their current size, it was not possible, and they could not put up notices directly. Elwyn and Hermione studied it and decided to adopt a recommendation system to develop members.
That was, everyone would find and recommend people they thought were reliable, tell them about the matter, and develop in secret.
Of course, this was not something that could be done overnight. They decided to gather everyone for a discussion first.
Elwyn had no objections to this. He had always wanted to form such an organization.
Before the war began, he would do his best to help everyone improve their strength. Although directly recruiting people from the entire school might be a little too fast and not too reliable, he didn't have too much time to do it step by step.
The information brought by Sirius let Elwyn know that the situation with the vampires was very unstable.
Although Dumbledore was there, so was Lord Voldemort. No one knew what would happen.
Once the situation changed, Elwyn had to intervene immediately, which meant that he could leave the school at any time.
With Hermione's hard work, the first draft of the plan and regulations for this matter was drafted.
The time of the first gathering was finally decided on the day they went to Hogsmeade for the first time. The location was chosen at the dirty little tavern "Pig's Head Bar". Hermione thought that it was relatively quiet and there weren't many people there. Elwyn also had no objections.
On the surface, the place did not seem very secretive, but considering that the owner of the tavern was Dumbledore's younger brother Aberforth and that the Order of the Phoenix had permanent members there, it was actually the safest place.
Everything was carried out in an orderly manner. Since Sirius met everyone in the fireplace, Hermione proposed to form an army, and everyone went their separate ways to inform others, three weeks had passed quickly.
During this time, Harry was once again grounded because he contradicted Umrich in class.
The reason was that when Umrich asked the fifth grade students to continue reading the second chapter of "Magic Defense Theory", "Common Defense Theory and Its Origin", Hermione told them that she had already finished reading the entire "Magic Defense Theory".
Her original intention was not to waste time on this, but to learn some knowledge that could be used in the O.W. Ls exam. However, Umrich clearly regarded this normal inquiry as another provocation to her authority.
After losing to Hermione in the debate, she directly deducted five points from Hermione.
This immediately ignited Harry, and he once again confronted Umrich head-on.
"Why did you deduct points from her?" Harry asked angrily, standing up from his seat.
"Don't get involved!" Hermione anxiously whispered to him.
"Because she used meaningless interruptions to disrupt my discipline in class." Umrich said fluently, "What I teach here is the method approved by the Ministry of Magic, which does not include encouraging students to express their opinions on things they don't understand. The teachers who taught you in the past may have given you more freedom, but none of them were able to pass the Ministry of Magic's investigation, except for Professor Quirrell. At least it seems that he only teaches content suitable for your age... "
"Yes, Quirrell is really an amazing teacher!" Harry said loudly, "There's only one small fly in the ointment, he let Lord Voldemort stick to the back of his head."
As soon as this sentence left his mouth, the classroom was silent. Harry had never heard such a powerful silence before.
"I think another week of grounding would be of some help to you, Mr. Potter." Umrich said tactfully.
Harry was grounded for the second time. Umrich had already ordered a new quill, the kind that could use witchcraft to cut the back of the user's hand. This time, the grounding would not be as easy as the last time!
With Lavier's help, Elwyn figured out the principle of the curse.
However, he was very doubtful that even if he told Harry, would Harry understand and cast a counterspell …
Elwyn originally wanted to tell Harry to calm down, and it would be best if he could ignore Umrich, but he was soon grounded by Umrich.
The reason was because of Rita Skeeter's new article published in the Hogwarts Magic Newspaper. Umrich believed that this was a rumor, and as the actual controller of the Hogwarts Magic Newspaper, Elwyn naturally had to bear the responsibility.
Ever since Harry was put on trial at the Ministry of Magic, Rita had been fixated on the incident of the uncontrollable Dementors attacking Harry. She used this incident to accuse the Ministry of Magic of various loopholes in its management. The Ministry of Magic had not responded to this incident, nor had it carried out an investigation.
Foggy believed that Harry was lying and that there were no uncontrollable Dementors at all.
The Order of the Phoenix, on the other hand, secretly investigated. The final result was that two Dementors had left Azkaban uncontrollably and had never returned. Lupin taught Rita the relevant evidence, and she immediately published this incident.
Unsurprisingly, the incident of two uncontrollable Dementors wandering outside immediately caused a huge uproar.
This incident quickly surpassed Umrich's promotion to Senior Investigator of the Hogwarts and became the hottest news recently.
As the real mastermind, Umrich might have panicked a little!
