Chapter 867 Arguments and Decisions

No one knew why Ron reacted this way. Maybe it was because Henrietta offended Harry, or maybe the word "escape" particularly irritated Ron. In any case, he looked at Henrietta with evil intentions. It's like what he wants to do most right now is punch him.

Henrietta blushed as if sensing Ron's malice.

"Well, we come here to learn from him, and he tells us he can't really do anything," Henrietta said.

"That's not what he said," Fred growled.

"Do you want us to clean your ears?" George asked, pulling out a long, deadly-looking metal tool from one of Zuko's bags with one hand.

"Or any part of you, really, we don't care where we poke him," Fred said.

"Oh, okay," Hermione said hurriedly, "The next thing...the point is, do we all agree that we want to learn from Harry and Fanlin?"

"Fan Lin, wait are you talking about this guy?" Henrietta looked at Fan Lin next to Hermione in confusion, "We are not..."

"Shut your mouth, boy, do you know what you are talking about?" Fred became even more angry and even raised his fist threateningly.

"Yes, that's right, it's me. In fact, I just play a supporting role..." Fan Lin paused for a moment, "Harry is indeed more suitable for you, but..."

"But Fan Lin, didn't you say that I will help you, and you will teach us Defense Against the Dark Arts..." Harry said in confusion, "And you are better than me..."

"But this is not suitable for everyone." Fan Lin paused briefly, "In fact, the purpose of calling everyone here is not to hold a teaching class similar to Defense Against the Dark Arts. We are just providing a This is a platform for everyone to communicate, and even to allow everyone to survive better, whether it is fighting or ordinary wizard level exams, I believe everyone knows that Umbridge's method will kill us all. Whether it’s exams or reality, I believe you have experienced it.”

"Yes, with Professor Umbridge's method, I have no confidence in passing the Ordinary Wizarding Level Examination. In fact, based on the things in her book, I have no confidence that I can cast a normal spell." Qiu said carefully. He said, but no one refuted.

No need to practice Defense Against the Dark Arts spells?

This is just a joke.

There was a burst of agreement. Henrietta crossed her arms across her chest and said nothing, although this may be because he was busy paying attention to the metal tools in Fred's hands, or perhaps because he had been given a good warning by Fred.

Questioning Harry and challenging a wizard who was much more powerful than him, such stupid things were almost intolerable to a wizard, at least originally.

Sometimes Fan Lin feels that he is really suitable for the wizard life in an earlier period, rather than now...

"Okay," Hermione said, looking relieved that the matter had finally been decided. "So, then, the next question is how often do we get together. I really think we need to get together at least once a week..."

"That depends," Gulla said. "We need to make sure it doesn't conflict with our Quidditch practice."

"Yes..." Qiu said, "And...it can't conflict with ours."

"Not with ours," Henrietta opened her mouth.

"I'm sure we can find an evening that suits everyone," Hermione said, looking a little impatient. "But you know, this is important, we are discussing how to protect ourselves from Voldemort's Death Eaters. …”

"Well said!" Ernie shouted loudly. For this boy who trusted him, Harry thought he would have spoken long ago; "I personally think this is really important, maybe more than everything we have done this year. Everything is important, even if the ordinary wizard level exam is coming."

Ernie looked around excitedly, as if waiting for people to shout "Of course not!"

But no one said anything and it was awkward. So he continued: "I, personally, don't understand why the Ministry of Magic thrust such a useless teacher into our hands at this dire time. Obviously, they don't admit that the man is back, but give us an active way to prevent it." Our teacher who uses defensive spells—"

"We think the reason why Umbridge didn't want us to train in Defense Against the Dark Arts," Hermione said, "is because she had this...crazy idea that Dumbledore would mistake the students at the school for... Some kind of private army. She thought he would mobilize us against the Ministry."

Almost everyone was dumbfounded at this statement, everyone except Luna.

It seemed that Luna was not surprised, as if she had seen through the essence, but Fanlin was very suspicious of what was going on in Luna's little head at the moment.

Luna then said, "Yes, that's very possible. The Minister has his own army anyway."

"What?" said Harry, dazed by the unexpected news.

"Really, he has an army of heliopaths," Luna said solemnly.

"No, he didn't," Hermione said suddenly.

"No, he does," Luna said.

"What is it?" Neville asked, looking confused.

"They are spirits of fire," said Luna, her bulging eyes widening, making her look even crazier than usual, "tall, scorching creatures that make the ground before them as they scurry across the earth. Everything burns—"

"There is no such thing, Neville," Hermione said sharply.

"Oh no, they exist!" Luna said angrily.

"I'm sorry, but where's the evidence?" Hermione asked hastily.

"There are a lot of eyewitness reports. It's just that you're too narrow-minded and you need everything squeezed under your nose—"

The quarrel between Luna and Hermione made the scene very awkward for a time. No one could intervene in the quarrel between two girls who couldn't deal with each other, especially two smart girls.

Anyway, all the boys were dumbfounded, but fortunately there were many smart girls.

"Uh-huh, uh-huh," Ginny coughed, so imitating Umbridge that some people looked around and laughed.

"Can we decide how often we can get together and take defense lessons?"

"Yes," Hermione said immediately. Maybe Hermione thought that there would be no results if she continued to argue with Luna. Hermione was more inclined to speak with facts, and quarreling with a crazy girl...

"Yes, we are about to do this, you are right, Ginny." Hermione quickly replied, "I believe there is nothing wrong with Fanlin and Harry."

"Well, once a week sounds good," Lee Jordan said.

"As long as—" Gula began.

"Yes, yes, we know about Quidditch practice," Hermione said in a nervous tone. "Then, the next thing to decide is where we will meet..."

It was more difficult to decide this, and everyone was silent.

"Library?" Thomas suggested after a moment.

"I don't think Madam Pince would be happy with us destroying the library," Harry said.

"Maybe some unused classroom?" Colin said.

"Yeah," said Ron, "Mrs. McGonagall might let us use hers, which she lent to Harry when he was preparing for the Warriors Games." (To be continued)
