Chapter 778 Rebuilding the Duel Club

"Are you planning to establish a student association?" Ivan looked at Hermione in surprise and asked.

"A study group to be precise!" Hermione corrected. "I asked before, and many people are willing to participate. Now we only need one qualified person to teach us!"

"So, you want me to be a professor?" Of course Ivan understood Hermione's subtext and said with a smile.

"Yes! When you were in first grade, you defeated Quirrell, who was controlled by a mysterious man. Last year, you subdued a huge fire dragon on your own. You did many things that even professors couldn't do. There is no more suitable candidate than you... ..." the little witch kept talking.

When she formed a study group before, many people were willing to join because of Ivan's fame.

Having said this, Hermione took a deep breath and looked directly at Ivan with a pair of brown eyes. "If there is really someone who can defeat Voldemort, then I believe that person must be you, Ivan!"

Ivan was not affected by the little witch's complimentary words and became swollen. Instead, he looked at Harry aside with an embarrassed look. According to the prophecy, this was the savior who defeated Voldemort.

"Oh, I'm sorry, Harry..." Hermione keenly noticed Ivan's gaze, then remembered that Harry was still here, and hurriedly said apologetically.

"No, you just told the truth, Hermione!" Harry waved his hand to show that he didn't care. He never thought he was so special.

The last time the stalemate with Voldemort lasted so long in the cemetery, until Ivan and Sirius rescued him, was entirely because of the subtle connection between the two wands.

Or maybe it's just that he has better luck.

But luck alone obviously cannot defeat Voldemort, so Harry agreed with Hermione's statement.

"It's okay to let me be a professor, but I'm very busy recently and need to check some information. I may not be able to spare much time. The best time for the study group to meet is once a week. It's better to schedule it on Sunday morning." Ivan He said hesitantly.

Now that the decision was made, Ivan cheered up and began to seriously discuss the specific form of the gathering with Hermione and others.

He plans to make it like the second grade duel club, focusing on practical teaching, and setting up some small prizes to arouse everyone's interest!

As for free time on weekdays, students can be divided into groups of three or four to practice magic freely, and have a weekly duel to encourage them. If they don’t want to be embarrassed, everyone should spend some time practicing magic in private... …

"Is it similar to a dueling club? This is a good idea!" After hearing Ivan's thoughts, Hermione's eyes suddenly lit up.

The dueling club held by Lockhart was very lively at the time. Students from the whole school came. Even though Lockhart's level was too low and he often gave blind instructions, they also learned a lot of dueling skills from it.

However, there are many people joining the study group. If you want to set up a duel venue, you need a spacious enough space. An ordinary empty classroom is not that big...

"We can go to the Shrieking Shack!" Ivan suggested without thinking. This was the only suitable place.

After all, the Room of Requirement is his private place, so accidents might happen, so it would be best not to let outsiders in during this period.

Harry and Hermione thought for a while and agreed that the place was quite private.

At this time, Ron suddenly spoke. "So many of us disappeared together, what if Umbridge found out something was wrong?"

Ivan looked at Ron in confusion. On a day off, it was normal for there to be dozens of people in the school, right? If Umbridge had asked, they could have said they were going to Hogsmeade.

However, to his expectation, Harry and Hermione actually began to discuss ways to deal with Umbridge.

Seeing several people discussing for a long time but unable to come up with a perfect plan, Ivan could only shake his head and said casually. "Wouldn't it be better to let her calm down for a few days?"

How to stop? Harry, Ron and Hermione were very confused.

Umbridge wouldn't listen to them.

Ivan kept silent, pretending to be silent, and had no intention of answering at all.

It was not until three days later that the news finally came. Umbridge accidentally sprained her foot on the way downstairs and rolled down the stairs. Her nose was bruised and her face was swollen. She was now sent to St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Injuries and Maladies to recuperate. .

Many students suspected that Trelawney secretly cast a curse on her, and the "curse" prophecy spread like crazy in the school...

"You did it, right, Ivan? You are so great!" Harry understood the moment he heard the news and asked excitedly.

Ivan just smiled, acquiescing.

"If you ask me, you were too gentle, you would have just thrown her to death!" Ron muttered, Umbridge had made him sick these days.

Yesterday during the Defense Against the Dark Arts class, because they did not copy the school rules fifty times, Umbridge gave them a solitary confinement and was forced to write "obey" a hundred times with a quill without ink. School rules and disciplines."

They didn't know what kind of curse Umbridge had cast on that quill, and the traces she drew on the parchment would be faithfully imprinted on the back of their hands, causing pain like needle pricks.

If Ivan hadn't found a way to remove this magic for them, I'm afraid they would still be unable to get rid of this mark of shame.

Hermione was very rare and did not comment on Ron's extreme remarks. She even took the initiative to suggest that the two of them could use the [automatic writing pen] developed by George and Fred to complete the homework assigned by Umbridge.

"Are you really Hermione?" Harry looked at the little witch in shock.

Ron also looked like he had seen a ghost, and almost suspected that Hermione had been transformed by Polyjuice Potion. The real Hermione would not allow them to cheat to complete their homework.

"Umbridge is the exception. We can't waste too much time on useless things like copying school rules!" Hermione said confidently, and she was not that unreasonable.

However, these words were obviously not convincing, because she had written all fifty times of the school rules manually.

"By the way, Ivan, when did you finish copying the school rules?" Ron asked curiously. He had previously thought that Ivan would definitely not compromise with the devil Umbridge.

Ivan had no intention of hiding it, and immediately explained that he only remembered this during class, and then used magic to recreate it temporarily.

"Originally, I wanted to help you, but when I saw that you and Ron were not panicked at all, I thought you had already thought of a way to deal with Umbridge..." Ivan shrugged. He didn't think of the two of them at the time. On the surface, he looked calm and relaxed, but in fact, he was not prepared at all.

Harry and Ron looked at each other, depressed.

Obviously when we were chatting in the auditorium some time ago, everyone agreed to fight to the end!

Seamus even swore to them that he would jump off the building if he copied the school rules!

As a result, it was not until class started that they were surprised to find that everyone had copied it secretly. Only the two unlucky ones believed it and were caught by Umbridge...
