"Everyone's here. There are still a few who can't come today. We'll just inform them of the results of the discussion."
"Hmm, there are more people than expected. Looks like this idea is very popular," Hermione said happily.
"Yeah, everyone wants to learn magic from Elwyn."
"Thank God that Slytherin girl isn't here!" Ron looked at the crowd and seemed to heave a sigh of relief.
Elwyn also invited Astoria with the attitude of giving it a try. He felt that Slytherin should not be singled out when it came to increasing their power to fight against Lord Voldemort and the Evil God. Not everyone in the academy was a dark wizard or a hopeless villain.
Salazar Slythrin was a great wizard, and so were the students who carried his will.
Furthermore, Astoria had a good personality. She was different from the traditional Slytherin, and was not a fanatic supporter of the pure-blood theory.
However, Elwyn could understand why she didn't come. After all, she had to consider how others would look at her.
Not everyone had the courage to be an "outsider", especially in a "cruel" environment like Slytherin.
"Don't just stand there. Let's get some chairs over."
Inside the Pig's Head Bar, students came in one after another. Aberforth was using a rag so dirty that it looked like it had never been washed before to wipe a glass. When he saw this scene, he couldn't help but be stunned. His bar had probably never had so many people before.
"Hey, boss!" Fred said, rushing to the bar and quickly counting his companions. "Excuse me, can you give us 27 bottles of Butterbeer?"
Aberforth stared at him for a moment, then threw down the rag in irritation, as if he had been interrupted in the midst of something very important, and began reluctantly to draw bottles of dusty, buttery beer from under the bar.
"Thank you!" Fred said as he passed the beer to everyone. "Everyone, pay some money. I don't have that much."
A large group of chattering people took the beer from Fred's hand and then fumbled in their robes for coins. They seemed to be on an outing. Everyone was excited and full of curiosity. Only Luna was in a trance and was in a daze.
When everyone sat down, the chattering gradually quieted down. They all stared at Elwyn and Harry.
Elwyn was fine, but Harry's mouth suddenly became very dry. Autumn just smiled at him and sat to the right of Ron.
Her friend, the girl with the reddish-blonde hair, did not smile. Instead, she looked at Harry with complete distrust, and then glanced at Ivan with the same look. The expression on her face seemed to indicate unmistakably that she would not have come here if it had been up to her own will.
"I don't need to say more. I think everyone knows why we're here today!" Elwyn said. He saw Aberforth glaring at them from behind the bar as if they were having an illegal party. The Mondungues also moved forward.
"Elwyn, I heard that you're going to teach everyone magic?"
"That's right!" Hermione replied directly. "As you all know, Elwyn is going to teach everyone Defense Against Dark Magic. We'll learn some real skills, not the rubbish that Umrich taught us. If you don't mind …"
"I don't mind at all. You're too good!"
"That's right. No one will call that Defense Against Dark Magic!"
"I believe in Elwyn's strength. Look at what he's done."
"We've already asked Elwyn to teach us magic. He's a great teacher."
"Yes. Elwyn and I want to conduct formal training so that everyone can learn how to protect themselves effectively. Not only do we have to learn those theories, but we also have to come into contact with actual combat and go through real combat training." Because of everyone's enthusiastic response, Hermione's voice suddenly became firmer and more confident. She took a deep breath before finishing her sentence. "Because the Lord Voldemort is back!"
As expected, as soon as she finished speaking, everyone's reaction was immediate.
Rachel's girlfriend screamed and splashed buttered beer on herself. Terry Pot twitched involuntarily. Padma Petier shuddered. Neville let out a strange cry, but he managed to turn it into a cough just in time.
However, they all looked eagerly at Elwyn, Harry, and Hermione.
"That's the plan. That's why I called for the formation of such an organization." Elwyn continued Hermione's words. "If you want to join us, we need to decide what we're going to do in the future. In addition to Elwyn, Harry … "
"Wait a minute. What evidence do you have to prove that the mysterious man is back?" the yellow-haired Hufflepuff player asked in an aggressive tone.
After entering the Pig's Head Bar, he let go of Ginny's hand, but still sat next to her.
Ginny looked a little unhappy. He seemed to have touched her forcefully at the entrance of the bar and held her hand in front of so many people. As soon as she entered the bar, she shook his hand off, but she did not refuse him to sit next to her.
"Oh, we've talked about this many times!" Elwyn said, not wanting to continue explaining.
"Yes, Dumbledore also believes …" Hermione was interrupted before she could finish her words.
"Are you trying to say that Dumbledore believes you?!" The yellow-haired boy said, raising his chin at Elwyn and Harry. "But that's not what the Daily Prophet said. It says you're lying."
"Who are you?" Ron asked impolitely. He had not liked him since just now.
Like Elwyn, he also saw the boy directly shake Ginny's hand.
If there were not so many people here, he would definitely go up and ask what was going on.
"Zacharias Smith," the boy said, "I admit that Mason is very strong and has done a lot of things. But before we learn any fighting skills from him, I think we have the right to know why you say that the mysterious man is back."
"Attention!" Hermione frowned slightly and cut in agilely. "That's not what this gathering is about."
"And I don't want to continue. Since the beginning of last semester, Harry and I have patiently explained it many times." Elwyn said, "In my opinion, it doesn't help much. Instead, it just satisfies your curiosity over and over again."
