Chapter 780 Ivan: I Will Reveal to You Everything that the Ministry of Magic Has Covered Up!

Take back spellcasting rights from the Ministry of Magic?

The little wizards present were very confused and couldn't quite understand what Ivan meant.

Hermione understood a little bit, and translated Ivan's words rather helplessly. "Are you trying to say that the Ministry of Magic asked Umbridge to ban us from learning protective magic, so we have to learn it ourselves?"

"You can say that..." Ivan nodded and did not refute, but continued speaking facing hundreds of pairs of eyes.

"I hope you haven't forgotten Umbridge's speech at the first-of-term banquet.

On behalf of the Ministry of Magic, she told us that the British wizarding world is now very peaceful. There is no dispute or chaos here. Each of us can put down our wands and stay in the safety of Hogwarts to learn magic..."

"But I think you all should know that this is a complete lie!" Ivan glanced at the entire audience, his eyes became very sharp, and he silently added a loud voice curse to himself.

"Think about it, everyone! Quirrell four years ago, Lockhart three years ago, the Dementors and Peter Pettigrew two years ago, and the riot that happened at the Goblet of Fire a few months ago. !”

"These are things you and I have personally experienced. It shows that the Ministry of Magic is lying, danger is never far away, and the magical world is not safe!"

"And what did Minister of Magic Fudge and his Auror men do when we were in danger and isolated and helpless?"

"They didn't provide us with any effective help!" Ivan said affirmatively. "They have not fulfilled all the promises they have made!"

"The Ministry of Magic just let us down time and time again. It allowed the Dementors to run wild in Hogwarts and made everything messy. It even mistook the heroes of the wizarding world as criminals and sent them to Azkaban to torture them for a full ten years." Three years!”

Having said this, Ivan had a somewhat sarcastic look on his face and spoke word by word. "What the Ministry of Magic is best at is issuing safety statements after the fact, maintaining the non-existent harmony and tranquility, suppressing all those who are willing to tell the truth, and trying to deceive our parents that all dangers were an accident..."

"But the Ministry of Magic, which is full of lies, is still arrogantly ordering us to give up learning the magic that can protect ourselves, and waste our time and energy with those boring and meaningless courses... "

"They are afraid! They are afraid that we will see through their lies and know the truth. They are even more afraid that we can get rid of them and have the power to protect ourselves..."

Ivan's sonorous voice echoed continuously in the Shrieking Shack, and his rhythmic words quickly aroused the angry emotions of the little wizards, and also reminded everyone of the dangers they had experienced in this castle. .

The fear brought to them by the dementors two years ago is still unforgettable for many people!

At the same time, they will not forget that when those disgusting monsters fly down from the sky and want to harm them, the person standing in front of everyone is not the Auror of the Ministry of Magic, but the hero of Hogwarts, the amazing Dragon Knight. Ivan Hals!

Seeing that the time was ripe and the little wizards present had accepted his idea, Ivan pointed at the door of the Screaming Shack and said.

"If any of you are still willing to believe what the Ministry of Magic says and expect Aurors to arrive in time when you are in danger, then you can leave now and I will never stop you!"

"But...if you make up your mind and choose to pick up the wand to protect yourself and your cherished family and friends, then I will solemnly welcome you to join the Defense Against the Dark Arts Association!"

As soon as Ivan finished speaking, Luna stood up and spoke in a brisk tone. "I believe you, Hals. The Ministry of Magic is all liars! My father said they are more annoying than molesters..."

"Yes! The Ministry of Magic has no right to stop us from learning protective magic. We want to take back our right to cast spells!" Ernie MacMillan also hurriedly echoed, expressing his firm support for Ivan's ideas.

After the two spoke out, more and more little wizards raised their hands and declared that they would join the Defense Against the Dark Arts Association. In the end, even the Slytherin students joined in, and no one left!

"I'm very happy to have your trust!" Ivan said with a smile, looking at the energetic little wizards. "Next time you come here, I will reveal to you everything the Ministry of Magic has covered up!"

Ivan's words aroused everyone's curiosity. Is there anything else that the Ministry of Magic is hiding from them that cannot be seen?

However, after Ivan aroused their curiosity, he did not give an answer. Instead, he changed his voice and began to arrange today's learning tasks. The one hundred and sixty-eight young wizards present were divided into groups according to high and low grades and colleges. Each prefect is responsible for management.

"Are we going to train here?" After Ivan divided the teams, someone in the crowd suddenly shouted.

Ivan glanced over there and found that the person who made the noise was Colin, who was one year younger than him. However, apart from him, the other young wizards also had some opinions on this practice venue.

After all, the Screaming Shack has been abandoned for a long time. It is dirty and messy, with dust everywhere, and even the air is filled with the smell of decay. Apart from being relatively open, it does not look like a training ground at all...

Ivan naturally understood this and asked with a smile. "What facilities do you think a qualified training ground needs to have? Colin?"

"Well... some combat dummies?" Colin thought for a while and said uncertainly.

"Very good, battle dummy!" Ivan nodded, then waved his wand and pointed at the corner of the screaming shack. The tables, chairs and benches stacked there, which were rotten and almost moldy, all floated up from the ground, twisting and deforming in mid-air. In just a few seconds, hundreds of dummies stood up.

Not only that, these combat dummies are also equipped with two wheels at the bottom. Driven by magic power, their positions are constantly changing. They are not rigid targets, but magic dummies that can run, jump and fight back!

Colin and the others were stunned to see such a large-scale transformation, and could not speak for a long time.

"Does anyone else have any requests?" Ivan put down his wand, looked at everyone, and asked.

The eyes of the students present shone brightly, and they realized that Ivan was going to use the transformation technique to transform a training venue suitable for them, and they immediately began to discuss it.

"We also need a place to sit and rest, and the dust on the floor needs to be swept away!"

"The windows need to be repaired, otherwise the air will leak in..."

"There are also bookshelves and cabinets..."

"How about some more decorations in there?"

…

Ivan listened to everyone's suggestions and waved the wand one by one.

Under the influence of transformation magic, the wooden boards on the ground were replaced with bright and neat stone bricks, the damaged walls were repaired, the collapsed bookshelves were lifted up and renovated, and even the broken bricks and tiles were collected and turned into Each exquisite decoration.

However, Ivan did not do everything personally. After solving most of the scenery, he took this opportunity to explain the essentials of transformation, and assigned the remaining work to the senior wizards.

An hour later, the dilapidated screaming shack took on a new look...
