Chapter 366 Lesson

That afternoon, everyone just visited Hogsmeade Village for a while before returning to school. To Mike's surprise, Harry and Ron did not ask to visit the Room of Requirement in advance, but went directly to the Quidditch pitch to start training.

Originally, the major teams should have a rest on weekends, but because Harry was almost always in detention this semester, the training time was greatly reduced, so the Gryffindor team had no choice but to practice extra on weekends.

Ron, who went to the pitch with Harry, had long planned to participate in the Gryffindor Quidditch team's selection regularly, so he basically hung around the Gryffindor Quidditch school team during this period, probably wanting to get familiar with it.

Since Hufflepuff lost Cedric, a powerful seeker this year, and Ravenclaw's Mike also made it clear that he would not participate in the competition, Gryffindor's chances of winning this year are very high. This also led to Harry and Ron's beautiful vision for the future, and they trained even harder.

Unfortunately, there is never a lack of surprises in this world.

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

After walking in, Mike found that the notice board that was supposed to be posted with various magic joke props, Quidditch team recruitment, and potion club recruitment advertisements was now only a notice covered with fine parchment:

The Hogwarts Senior Inquisitor orders that

all student organizations, associations, teams or clubs be dissolved.

Organizations, associations, teams and clubs are defined as regular opportunities for more than three students.

Reorganization may be requested from the Senior Inquisitor (Professor Umbridge).

No student organization, association, team or club may exist without the approval of the Senior Inquisitor.

If any student is found to have formed or joined any organization, association, team or club without the approval of the Senior Inquisitor, he will be expelled immediately.

The above regulations are attached to the signature of "Education Order No. 24"

: Senior Inquisitor-Dolores Umbridge.

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

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

This makes many senior students angry. After all, life in the senior year of Hogwarts is already very depressing. Now there are so many fewer entertainment activities, and their student life is undoubtedly in darkness.

However, many people are still 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 believe that Umbridge will never cancel a sport like Quidditch that is loved by the whole people.

As for niche sports clubs like the Gobstone Club and the Wizard Chess Club, the chances of them surviving are very small.

But at the same time, everyone has been thinking about a question, that is, wasn't Umbridge beaten into the hospital?

How can he issue an administrative order now?

Mike was also thinking. Umbridge's injury looked serious, but in fact, it was just that in the eyes of Madam Pomfrey, a famous doctor, so it was understandable that she could recover her ability to work in just two days.

But what puzzled Mike was why Umbridge was so bold?

She dared to continue to rule Hogwarts with a high-pressure policy under the premise that he had clearly issued a death warning to her. Wasn't she afraid of being assassinated? While

everyone was in a mess because of this notice, Umbridge was in a daze in her office.

At this moment, most of the plaster and bandages on her body had been taken off, and she seemed to have recovered her ability to move.

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

The cause of all this was really an email placed in front of her at the moment, a letter from the Ministry of Magic.

This letter ruthlessly rejected Umbridge's request to withdraw from the Ministry of Magic, and directly issued her next job in Hogwarts - to eliminate and control student clubs or groups.

Umbridge is desperate now. She just received a death threat, and then she 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 cancel all associations.

There is no way. If she violates the order of the Ministry of Magic, then her career will basically end. Even if Minister Fudge hates her, she may be transferred to a very bad position.

Compared with losing her life, Umbridge is more reluctant to lead a life in an unknown small department like Arthur Weasley - this is a great humiliation for her!

Now she can only pray in her heart that the group of conspirators headed by Professor McGonagall will not take care of the trivial matter of student club management, otherwise her life may be explained here.

At the same time, in the hall of Hogwarts, Harry, Ron and others have finished reading the notice on the notice board.

"Oh! Great! Looks like you can finally stop the damn Quidditch training for a while and focus on studying again."

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

This made Harry and Ron, who were very disappointed, curl their lips.

"You can still laugh, our Defense Against the Dark Arts team is also within the scope of this ban."

Ron reminded Hermione 'kindly', but to his surprise, Hermione was very proud when she heard it, and said:

"I'm not worried, you know, the members of our team have signed a contract!"

"What contract?"

"It's the parchment I asked them to write their names on. It's actually a magic contract, but the betrayer will be punished accordingly."

Harry and Ron were so shocked that they couldn't speak, and Mike on the side heard this and laughed and said:

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

"How do you know..." Hermione was surprised at first, then she explained as if she had figured something out, "I just hope they can keep it a secret, this is just a safety measure."

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

"Even if it's a safety measure, you should tell them the consequences of breaking their promise." Mike continued, "Your behavior now is like setting a trap, a trap that is not good for anyone." "

Okay! Okay! I know!" Hermione said with a red face, "I will tell them the truth!" "

It's better to do it now than today. I suggest that we start the first meeting of our Defense Against the Dark Arts Group tonight."

Hearing this, a trace of reluctance flashed across Hermione's face. Mike saw all this and knew that Hermione was afraid of the scolding she might receive after telling them about the matter, so he shook his head.

In his opinion, Hermione is still too young and doesn't understand the principle of stopping losses.

This matter may cause certain losses if it is exposed now, but if it is not touched, although it seems safe on the surface, if it suddenly explodes one day, the consequences will be far worse than the consequences of actively puncturing it now.

Thinking of this, Mike sighed and said to everyone:

"That's it, you can find a way to notify everyone, we'll meet there at 10 o'clock tonight."

...

Even though she was reluctant, Hermione still cooperated with Harry and Ron to pass the news that the Defense Against the Dark Arts Group was about to start classes to every member.

And the way they passed the news was also very simple, they went to each member's door.

This kind of work is undoubtedly hard and tedious, especially since many members always like to run around. Harry and the other two almost ran all over Hogwarts that day before they could complete the task of notifying the members.

And the excessive exercise that day also caused them to be listless and pale when they arrived at the eighth floor of Hogwarts.

"I feel this is more tiring than a whole day of Quidditch training!"

Harry panted and said desperately, while Ron beside him echoed:

"Who said it wasn't, 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 that, Hermione followed the method Mike taught before and walked back and forth in front of the tapestry three times while silently reciting the spell practice room in her mind.

Silently, a smooth wooden door suddenly appeared on the wall.

Harry and others looked at each other, and the surprise in their eyes even washed away a lot of the original fatigue.

"Creaky~"

The door of the Room of Requirement was opened, and Harry and the other two entered one after another. What appeared in front of them was a huge training room covering an area of ​​more than 200 square meters. It not only contained most of the teaching materials needed for spell training, but also had a special rest area.

At this moment, the rest area was already crowded with people. Mike and the members of the mutual aid association had already arrived here. Now they were happily drinking tea and chatting.

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

"Oh, oh!"

Harry and others who were studying the internal structure of the Room of Requirement only reacted after hearing this, and walked quickly to take a rest.

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

"Oh my God! Oh my God!" Hermione excitedly stretched out a finger and ran it across the rows of thick books with sheepskin cover, "Common Spells and Countermeasures, Defeat the Dark Magic, Self-Defense Spells Collection..."

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

Seeing this, Mike smiled silently. Most of the books here were replenished by him from various places, and 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 gentle knock on the door, and Mike looked up and found that Ginny, Neville and others had arrived.

"This... here..."

Looking at the luxurious Room of Requirement, Neville was so shocked that he stammered and couldn't speak. Although Ginny and others beside him were not so exaggerated, they didn't look much better.

Mike had no choice but to step forward again to explain the origin and effect of the Room of Requirement.

Ten minutes later, as the wall clock issued a series of crisp hourly chimes, Mike also closed the door of the Room of Requirement.

The agreed time has arrived. Unlike expected, two of the people who signed the contract in the Hog's Head Bar have not arrived yet, 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 cheered excitedly, "People like Michael Corner who don't pay attention to time should be turned away!"

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

"What's wrong with him?"

"Uh, a little problem." Facing Mike's question, Harry hesitated for a moment and then answered in a low voice, "Ginny and Michael Corner are in love, and Ron doesn't seem to like Michael very much."

Hearing this, Mike immediately understood that Ron was worried about his sister's love life. This is really a worry that every brother must experience in his life.

"Hey! This is not a question of whether I like it or not! That Michael is not a good guy, he is definitely not worthy of my Ginny!"

Ron said this after hearing the conversation between Mike and Harry.

It can be seen that he was very emotional at the moment, because he spoke very loudly, so almost everyone nearby heard his words.

Ginny's face was completely red. She stamped 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 'kind' smiles when they faced Ron, they both mourned for Ron for a few seconds.

Happy times are always short-lived, but when Ron rubbed his aching shoulder and returned to Harry, Mike had already stood up and silently snapped his fingers.

"Snap!"

The sound was not loud, but it was transmitted to everyone's mind under the effect of magic, causing them to look at Mike involuntarily.

It was not until this moment that Mike smiled and spread his hands and said,

"Everyone, it's getting late. Let's start the first class!"
