"Well, the Thestrals are good things." Hagrid was a little incoherent. "Oh yes, when they are tamed, like this group, you won't get lost, and they have an amazing sense of direction. Just tell them where you want to go..."
"Of course, assuming they can understand you." Slytherin burst into laughter from the crowd.
Umrich also smiled at them indulgently, then turned to Neville.
"You can see the Thestrals, can't you, Longbottom?" she asked.
"Yes!" Neville nodded.
"Who did you see die?" she asked coldly.
"My grandfather." Neville said, his voice very small.
"What do you think of them? The Wuwu and its kind that Professor Hagrid was talking about? "she said, waving her stubby hand at the black pegasus.
By this time, they had already torn a large part of the "food" that Hagrid had prepared, leaving only the bones.
"Yes!" Neville glanced at Hagrid, and said nervously, "Yes, they, um, look good."
"Okay, I dare not admit that I am afraid." Umrich read, and made a few more notes on the board.
"No!" Neville said uneasily, "I am not afraid of them!"
"It's okay." Umrich patted Neville's shoulder, and smiled understandingly.
But no matter how you looked at it, it looked a little like a grin.
"Okay, Hagrid!" She turned to look up at him, and said again in a slow, loud voice, "I think I have enough information. You will receive the results of your investigation in ten days."
Just like before, she gestured as she spoke. When she said "ten days", she held up all ten stubby fingers. When she said "received", she made a gesture as if she was taking something out of the air. When she said "investigation results", she pointed to her board, as if Hagrid was mentally retarded.
Then, smiling more triumphantly, and looking more like a toad under her green hat than ever, she hurried out of the students.
All the Slytherin laughed. Hermione trembled with anger. Neville looked confused and annoyed.
"That wicked, hypocritical, perverted, ugly monster!" said Hermione angrily.
When she told Elwyn about the magical animal protection class, she seemed to be unable to control her anger!
"Can you tell what she wants to do?" Hermione continued, "It's her old discrimination trick again. She wants to say that Hagrid is a monster with low intelligence just because his mother is a giant. That's not fair. Actually, the lesson wasn't bad. I mean, it would have been fine if it was another fried tail snail or some other dangerous animal, but the Night Thearch was pretty good. I didn't expect him to show us the Night Thearch. To be honest, to Hagrid, they're pretty good! "
"Umrich said they're dangerous," said Ron.
"Come on, as Hagrid said, they can take care of themselves." Hermione said impatiently, "They've been living in Hogwarts for many years. I don't think a teacher like Grapeland would teach them this before the N.E.W.T. exam. But they're really interesting, aren't they? Some people see them, some people don't. I wish I could see … "
She stopped abruptly, realized what she was saying, and suddenly looked horrified.
"Oh, I'm sorry, of course I don't want that. That's a stupid thing to say!" Hermione said hurriedly.
"Elwyn, is there any way you can teach that woman a lesson, like you did last time?" said Harry gloomily.
"She's not giving us a chance now. She's even canceled the confinement!" Said Elwyn, finishing his History of Magic homework. "In fact, all we have to do is do the D.A. thing and learn a few more spells. That's the best we can do against Umrich. Think about what Sirius said. She came to Hogwarts mainly to prevent us from doing combat training, and now we're doing it right under her nose, doing what she and the Ministry of Magic don't want us to do. "
"You're right!"
Time passed quickly. The twice-weekly Dumbledore Army activities had become a part of many people's lives.
For example, Harry felt as if he were wearing a talisman on his chest, a warm secret that supported him through Umrich's class, even allowing him to look into her scary toad eyes and smile warmly, allowing him to ignore her.
Elwyn was right. D.A. was resisting her right under her nose, doing what she and the Ministry of Magic were most afraid of.
Harry's performance in the activities was really good. He was always the first to learn a spell. He was very talented in actual combat.
This was his strength. Elwyn had long noticed this.
He could even teach others now, helping those who were slower to learn, and sharing a large part of Elwyn's burden.
After learning the Disarm Incantation, Armor Incantation, and Petrify Incantation, they began to challenge the more difficult incantations, such as the Stun Incantation, the Obstacle Incantation, and the Shattering Incantation. They also began to train in actual combat. First, it was a battle between two people, followed by the eight-eyed spider and other animals provided by Hagrid.
Except for Ron, who still could not overcome his fear of spiders, the others no longer panicked when they saw these terrifying creatures for the first time. They could skillfully use all kinds of spells while fighting against the eight-eyed spiders. Even the freshmen could do the same. This was a very rare improvement.
In addition, Elwyn also used transformation spells, turning into all kinds of creatures to fight with them.
The number of D.A. members continued to increase. Almost every gathering, there would be someone introducing new members to join.
After a magic lesson, Astoria apologetically explained to Elwyn the reason why she did not join. She personally supported Elwyn and wanted to join them, but the main reason was that she was too concerned about the looks of others around her. She did not have the courage to take the first step, and she still needed time.
Although it was a pity that he could not recruit people from Slytherin Academy, Dumbledore's Army was now beginning to take shape!
Elwyn cast a strict protection spell and curse to prevent the secret from being leaked.
If not for the fact that he could not use the Curse of Loyalty on the House of Responsive Requests, he had originally planned to completely hide the address, just like the headquarters of the Order of the Phoenix.
Because of the increase in the number of people, and because of the Quidditch training, they had to change the training time at any time. They could not inform others of the activity time, learning content, preparation, and so on like before. This was because if people from different academies frequently passed through the hall to talk, it would easily raise suspicions.
Hermione planned to give each member a fake Garen. She cast a transformation spell on it so that the numbers on it could change.
