Chapter 1107: 2 things before the holiday
Finally, the final exam is over. Everyone is more willing to enjoy the relaxation after the exam on the sunny venue. Many students plan to go to the Quidditch pitch to play. While enjoying the leisure time, they will vent their savings during the exam. pressure.
There are very few students willing to join the wizard card club, at least compared to the original members of the wizard card club, but this is also impossible.
Albert was not surprised by this, at least two dozen people were willing to attend, and they did not fall into the embarrassing situation of no one attending the party.
Students who are willing to participate in the wizard card party are considered to be more enthusiastic about the wizard card, and Albert will naturally not let them down. After officially completing the ceremony of Luna taking over the club, Luna took the lead to hold a relaxing party. In the competition, the prizes given out are extraordinarily rich, which can be regarded as a promotion for the products of "Happy Home".
Originally, Fred and Lee Jordan wanted to use the "Joke Shop" as the shop name, but Albert and George both thought the shop name was very strange, and finally changed it to "Happy House", which was described as a shop that could bring joy.
Everyone had a great time at the party, not only did they taste cold butter beer, but also a variety of delicious sweets, and they also won a lottery through competitions, including Albert\'s just-published "Guide to Self-Defense", or Frey Defense Against the Dark Arts props and joke props made by De and George.
"Does this thing really work?" Hermione took the pocket watch she had drawn, and looked up and down curiously at the magical thing in front of her.
"Of course it works, this is the latest product," Fred introduced enthusiastically: "Albert invented, as long as there is danger nearby, the pocket watch will heat up to alert the user, a bit like a speculum, but a speculum. It\'s really unreliable, once you make a sound, you\'re telling others, am I here?"
"Once there are dark wizards or dark creatures around, it can tell the user from which direction the enemy is coming from, so as to avoid hitting him directly, isn\'t it very useful." George took out an identical pocket watch and said, "The only drawback is that the effect is probably only effective. It can last for half a year.”
"Of course, this is a mass-produced version. If you want a more perfect black magic early warning device, you can only ask Albert to customize it, but the price will be so expensive that you doubt your life." Fred shrugged and reminded.
"Are you sure you\'re running a joke shop, not a Defence Against the Dark Arts item shop?" Ron had just tested the Defense Badge, and this thing could actually bounce back Harry\'s Obstruction Charm.
Although Harry has used similar things before, it is only by experimenting with them that he can truly appreciate the magic of these defensive items.
"Since the resurrection of the mysterious man, the entire magical world has not been safe, so Albert took the initiative to share his research results with everyone." George introduced, "By the way, what about the Albert people?"
Everyone looked around looking for Albert\'s figure, and finally found Albert in the corner who was talking to Luna.
Soon Albert was pulled back by Lee Jordan to introduce these amazing Defense Against the Dark Arts props.
"As we all know, the magic world is not peaceful now, everyone..." Albert was actually surprised why this group of people liked to listen to him so much, but he still restrained his mind and briefly explained the current situation.
A brief summary is:
The magic world is going to be in chaos, the Ministry of Magic is unreliable, and wizards born in Muggle families will be in big trouble. It is recommended to learn some self-protection methods. Most of the hawkers selling amulets are liars. Don\'t believe it, Fred and George\'s Defense Against the Dark Arts items are not as magical as they thought, and they need to be used reasonably.
"Mr. Anderson, can you create a talisman that resists black magic?" the famous Hufflepuff girl asked curiously.
"No way, most black magics are difficult to resist directly with spells." Albert shook his head and said, "Amulets can only deal with some small magics, small curses, etc. Of course, they can weaken black magic to some extent. power, but don\'t expect too much."
"But you are the champion of the duel competition, and you have defeated many dark wizards. I think you must know how to deal with that group of evil villains."
"If you\'re in serious trouble, my advice is to calm yourself down first, if you can\'t calm down, it\'s best to take a sedative, it\'s important to deal with it calmly.
Moreover, it is best to find the enemy\'s trail in advance, and then use the illusion spell or invisibility cloak to hide yourself. If you can\'t confront it directly, it is best not to confront it. If you have to fight back, it is best to hide yourself first, and then use the stun spell to sneak up on the enemy. \' suggested Albert.
"Stun spell?"
"Yes, stun spell, this spell is actually more practical than most spells. Of course, it can also be a freezing spell or a full-body restraint spell." Albert explained, "As long as you can subdue the enemy, you will win, so there is no need at all. Going for the magic that looks great."
"Don\'t go to fight with the dark wizards. To be honest, it is very difficult for you to defeat them unless you use sneak attacks. It is your best choice to knock down the enemy in one go. After knocking down the enemy, remember to make up a few more times. Spells to make sure the enemy is completely subdued. If the situation has to, remember to use the flying spell to take away the opponent\'s wand. Remember, most wizards will lose their deterrence without a wand."
"There are no such things in the self-defense guide." Cedric teased with a smile, "It seems that you have hidden a lot of good things in private."
"If it\'s written, it won\'t be published." Albert said helplessly, "Some things, the Ministry of Magic is not allowed to appear in the book, so I can only teach you secretly now."
"Then how do we deal with black magic?"
"I suggest turning around and running away when you are in danger, using the Disillusionment Charm to hide, or Apparating and running away." Albert said, "There is no shame in running away, and I would never suggest that you, who are inexperienced, talk to the black. Wizards confrontation, that puts you in danger."
The second half of the wizard card club became Albert\'s Defense Against the Dark Arts lecture. He taught everyone how to do it, how to use the Defense Against the Dark Arts items sold in Fred and George\'s store, and how to deal with the ensuing turmoil. protect yourself.
Everyone listened very carefully, and many people wanted to pick up a quill to take notes, because what Albert said was very practical.
When it was time for dinner in the evening, everyone let Albert go.
"I think you should summarize these things into the "Guide to Self-Defense". Cedric has a feeling of being really insightful.
"There are always a lot of helpless things in this world."
The story of the Wizarding Card Club quickly spread in Hogwarts, and many members of the Wizarding Card Club regret not going to the party, especially after the things that Albert said were spread among the students, many students were disappointed. I think Dumbledore should hire Albert as Defence Against the Dark Arts professor.
Everyone was hoping that Albert would give them a few more lessons on Defence Against the Dark Arts, but they soon found out that Albert was missing again.
In the end, this important task was handed over to Harry, and Harry, Hermione and Cedric gathered everyone to organize Albert\'s lectures.
Fred and George\'s defense props also began to spread among the students, especially the protective props that can reflect magic and curses are widely welcomed. It is believed that Defense Against the Dark Arts, a cash cow, will quickly bring them rich.
At the end of the year party, Dumbledore made a rare half-hour solemn speech, reminding everyone of Voldemort\'s resurrection.
"Eternal God Emperor"
The most surprising thing is that Gryffindor won the House Cup this year.
Although all the gems in the hourglasses of the other colleges except Slytherin have been deducted, Dumbledore still gives points to other colleges, and reminds everyone that the mysterious man is back.
It\'s just that Gryffindor added the most points because of Harry\'s relationship, which directly caused the Slytherin Academy, which was a winner, to become a laughing stock.
Snape wasn\'t happy about it, his face froze all night, like someone owed him a bunch of Galleons.
On the day he left school, Albert was so busy that he needed to hand out silver cards to invited friends and explain the risks to them.
Everyone was shocked to learn that Albert was about to get married.
"For some reason, the wedding was brought forward, just next month." Albert did not forget to reiterate, lest they spread the news indiscriminately and provoke the Death Eaters.
Albert has a way to ensure the concealment and safety of the wedding, but being targeted by the Death Eaters due to rumors, he can only ask for his own blessings.
"You\'re getting married!" Hermione\'s eyes widened in surprise.
"Yes, this is the invitation card, and the time will be on it." Albert reminded as he handed the silver card to Hermione, "but you\'d better keep this a secret, because I offended You-Know-Who and Death Eater. Disciples, they are likely to figure out the exact time and place by inviting people.”
"Oh, congratulations!"
Hermione took the card and said worriedly, "But, is it really okay?"
"Of course, I also invited Dumbledore, so don\'t worry too much." Albert said before leaving, "Due to Potter\'s situation, I didn\'t invite him."
Albert wouldn\'t be tempted to invite the big troublemaker Harry Potter.
After Albert left, Hermione looked at the silver card in her hand with an indescribable feeling in her heart.
"Get married!"
She really didn\'t expect Albert to get married so early, almost right after graduating from school.
Although Albert wanted the others to keep it a secret, it still spread among the girls.
"I\'ve said it a long time ago, this kind of thing can\'t be hidden. Maybe you should wait until the holiday and send them the card, so there won\'t be such a problem."
On the way to crossing the lake, Lee Jordan said innocently that this matter really had nothing to do with him.
"Confidentiality is actually more of a protection for them. I\'m just worried that they will be patronized by Death Eaters for leaking their secrets, so they will lose their lives." Albert\'s tone was full of helplessness.
If someone had bad luck because of this, he couldn\'t help it.
"No, I thought you would be more worried..." Lee Jordan raised his eyebrows slightly, obviously a little surprised that Albert would say such a thing.
"I have done the most rigorous screening. Even if I use the Imperius Curse or even the compound potion, I have a way to screen them out. As for the specific location, except for the invited people, no one else can enter." Albert It has been prepared for a long time, and the strictest protection measures have been taken to ensure that there will be no accidents in the whole wedding.
"Everyone is on board, everyone is on board, a boat can only take two people, ready to cross the lake." Hagrid stood on the shore and made sure everyone was on board, then he took a boat by himself and shouted, "Go ahead. !"
Facing the cool wind blowing, a group of boats sailed across the lake, and everyone looked back at the huge castle that was gradually receding.
"Head down!" Hagrid shouted.
When the boat approached the cliff, everyone bowed their heads one after another, and the gradually distant Hogwarts Castle made everyone feel complicated.
They\'ve been at Hogwarts for seven years, and they\'re officially leaving today.
The ceremony of crossing the lake did not last long, and everyone got off the boat with mixed feelings. Next, they had to go to the train station and take the Hogwarts Express train to leave.
"Aren\'t you going?" Angelina asked in confusion.
"No, you go first, we have to wait for someone, and we will Apparate and leave later." Albert smiled and waved goodbye to everyone.
A beautiful figure walked towards this side, directly giving Albert and Katrina a warm hug.
Many boys whistled, and the girls felt sore.
"Goodbye Albert." Hagrid waved at Albert and led the seventh-grade graduates who crossed the lake towards the train station.
"What are you looking at?" Yin Zebel asked.
"Watching Hogwarts."
Albert looked at the ancient castle in the distance, and said softly, "What a magical place."
Just now, Albert confirmed that he had completed the mission of "Millennium School: Hogwarts". Although the final progress was stuck at 81.5%, the completion progress was actually very high, and it also gave Albert a reward. Big wave of experience and skill points.
"Reluctant to leave now?" Katrina was a little surprised at Albert\'s sentimentality.
"I am still very grateful for the letter from the owl in the past. That letter changed my life. Otherwise, I would probably still work hard for money like most Muggles." Albert retracted his eyes and looked at Yin Zebel, smiled and said, "Let\'s go back too."
"Let\'s go."
Yin Zebel reached out to Katrina, and Katrina reached out to hold down the strands of hair blown by the breeze, and put her hand on her face helplessly.
A leaf fell on the black lake, causing ripples, but the three people who were standing by the lake had long since disappeared.
