"Why can't we go together?"
There was a series of complaints coming from the training room. Many members who were not selected expressed their protest and dissatisfaction. They also wanted to participate in the next action against the Death Eaters.
"Well, stop complaining. If you want to participate, put more effort into Defense Against the Dark Arts." Albert suppressed the noise and dissatisfaction of the people. "I hope you can understand that this has never been a game. Our opponents are the notorious You-Know-Who and the Death Eaters. Don't ruin your lives because of your stupid arrogance and pride."
No one complained anymore.
They just complained a few words verbally. The people who were selected were the best in the Defense Association.
"Okay, those who have just been selected, come and gather."
Everyone quickly lined up in a row, each holding a small cup that Sana gave them.
Albert walked up to them holding a bottle of potion that was bubbling like mud.
"What's this?"
Angelina looked at the medicine bottle and couldn't help but frowned and asked.
"Polytherapy potion," Fred explained.
"It seems that we need to disguise ourselves as someone else." Kenneth was a little surprised, but he couldn't help but feel relieved.
Albert pulled out the cork, got a few strands of hair from somewhere and stuffed them into the bottle. He shook it gently, and the potion began to bubble and smoke, and in the blink of an eye it turned into a clear golden color.
"Wow, whose hair is this?" Lee Jordan asked.
"Harry Potter."
Albert began to pour the potion into the cups in the hands of several people, and reminded them, "It can last for about three hours. After drinking it, go over there to change clothes, and then come back to gather."
The compound medicine doesn't taste very good and is a bit choking. Many people start coughing violently right after drinking it.
In the blink of an eye, twelve Harry Potters appeared in the room.
Albert waved his wand, making his clothes automatically match his current body. He reached out to take the glasses handed to him by Sana, said thank you and put them on himself. His vision immediately became clear.
When he turned his head, he found that others were changing clothes unscrupulously, not caring at all about showing Harry's body in public, because it was not their own body anyway.
"I bet the students at Hogwarts will be astounded."
After George took the glasses from Sana and put them on, he took the cloak that Fred threw to him and put it on himself.
"More than shocked, I bet they were stunned."
"Okay, everyone come here."
Albert got a board and explained the next plan to them.
The whole plan is very simple. Three people, led by Albert, will enter the train to clean out the Death Eaters inside, while another group, led by Cedric, will be responsible for clearing out the Death Eaters and Dementors outside.
"Once the battle outside is over, launch this thing into the sky." Albert handed Lee Jordan a tube-shaped object similar to a firework.
"What is this?" Lee Jordan asked, fiddling with the thing in his hand. "Fireworks?"
"The logo of the Defense Association." Albert explained, "After the battle, you can quickly collect the spoils and retreat according to the original plan. I hope to complete the whole process within ten minutes. Don't give the enemy any time to react."
After saying that, Albert looked at Cedric and asked, "Is it okay for you to lead the team?"
"That's fine with me, but aren't you leading the team this time?" Cedric asked in confusion.
"I will be responsible for going into the train and dealing with the Death Eaters inside. You all follow me." Albert glanced at the Weiss twins who were pinching each other's cheeks.
"How did you recognize us?" Fred and George were both curious.
"Only you would do such a childish thing." Davis complained.
"I don't think I need to repeat it again?" Albert tapped the three key points on the panel with his wand.
"No, I'll watch over them." Cedric gave Albert a reassuring look. He also understood what was going on now.
"We are not three-year-old children."
"Okay, take your broomsticks and get ready to go." Albert pulled up the hood of his cloak, politely declined the broomstick handed to him by Qiu Zhang, and walked outside.
"Can you fly without a broom?" Lee Jordan asked curiously.
"We're going to get on the train," said Fred.
“No need to use a broom,” George added.
Other members of the Defense Association came to see everyone off.
"Be cheerful, we will remember to bring you the spoils."
"We want the Death Eaters' underwear." Someone suddenly shouted.
Amidst laughter, Albert used Apparition to take them away.
As soon as everyone regained their vision, they were greeted by a downpour. Some members who did not have time to put on their hoods were instantly soaked.
"I hate rain, and I hate wearing glasses even more."
Kenneth reached up and pulled his hood up, shielding himself from the rain as best he could.
The next moment, they seemed to hear some noise, and suddenly found that several mushroom-like ice umbrellas had grown out of thin air, shielding everyone from the heavy rain above their heads.
"Did you know this a long time ago?"
Angelina was trying to steam the water off her body.
"Just to be on the safe side."
Albert took out a map and began to determine the exact location of the Hogwarts Express, so that he could seize the right moment to take action after the train was stopped by the Death Eaters.
"You should estimate that you have five to ten minutes."
Albert closed the pocket watch on his hand and put it in his pocket, then handed the map to Cedric and said, "Fred, George and I will get on the train first. I think you should be fine."
"No problem, leave it to me." Cedric knew that this was an opportunity for Albert to give him to exercise.
"See you later."
After Fred greeted Angelina, he put his hand on Albert's shoulder, and the three of them disappeared.
When they appeared, they were beside the train tracks. Not far ahead, the Hogwarts Express was coming this way.
"I thought you were going to Apparate us up there directly." Fred was a little curious about what method Albert would use.
"That would easily draw attention to myself. I have a simpler way."
"What method?"
"You'll know in a moment."
Hacking the train went more smoothly than Fred and George had expected, and Albert didn't even have to use any amazing magic.
The window of the last carriage of the train was opened in advance, and Albert took them directly in through the window. What was even more strange was that although there was luggage in the carriage, there was no one.
"This is Luna's carriage."
Albert noticed the puzzled looks from Fred and George and explained calmly.
The two looked at each other, thinking that Albert would use some method to lead them to invade the train, but the result was this
"Okay, we can have something to drink now and then take action after the Death Eaters arrive." Albert waved his wand and conjured up hot drinks for them out of thin air.
"There's always a lack of adventurous passion when I travel with you," Fred said a little depressed.
"Don't complain. What about other people still out there in the rain?"
Even with the temporary shelter that Albert had helped prepare, it was still not very comfortable for the others to be in the pouring rain.
Kenneth was wiping his glasses with a cloth to prevent the rain from blurring his vision.
He hates wearing glasses.
"You can use the Fire and Water Immunity Spell on your glasses to prevent them from getting wet by rain and affecting your vision." Cedric reminded kindly and helped others cast spells on their glasses.
"Don't complain. It's a rare opportunity for Albert to lead the team personally." Lee Jordan was looking at the map in his hand.
"Actually, I've always been curious, why do we have to disguise ourselves as Harry Potter?" Angelina couldn't help but ask. Although this feeling was novel, it was also very strange.
"Needless to say, it's to protect you, of course. If the You-Know-Who and the Death Eaters knew that you were involved, they might retaliate against your family." Kenneth felt that the members of the Defense Association were not very smart. They couldn't even think of such a thing. It was really difficult for Albert, who acted as the brain of the entire association.
Of course, Cedric probably also thought of this, as he was being trained as the vice president of the association.
With Albert's personality, he is definitely a tool.
However, even though he was just a tool, Cedric was lucky.
"What are you thinking about?"
"What's the point of Albert doing this?" Cedric actually hadn't thought it through completely, but now it seemed that they didn't have much time to think about it, because the Hogwarts Express was coming this way. As the team leader, Cedric still had a little pressure. He needed to complete the task given by Albert and bring everyone back smoothly.
"What do you think is the reason?"
Lee Jordan was already on his broomstick, ready for action.
"Let other wizards in the British wizarding world see that there are still people who are resisting the You-Know-Who." Cedric also got on his broom. As the former captain of Hufflepuff Quidditch, he didn't take the heavy rain seriously.
"Someone has to hold up the torch and lead us forward." Truman said quietly, and Albert chose Harry Potter as the banner. Although he didn't quite understand why Albert didn't do it himself, he believed that the other party must have his own reasons for doing so.
"And you?"
Lee Jordan flew into the air on his broom and turned his head to ask Kenneth beside him.
"Probably unite the students of Hogwarts, and by the way, use those students to drag their parents into the water." Kenneth shrugged and said, "It's not enough to rely on us alone to fight against the You-Know-Who. Even if every member of the association is at the level of an elite Auror, they can't defeat the numerous enemies. If we really want to fight against the You-Know-Who in an all-round way, we still need to unite more people. Albert's move is undoubtedly quite ingenious. Since many people don't have the courage to fight against the You-Know-Who, he gives everyone a reason to do so."
"Don't think Albert is as sinister as you. He is just trying his best to unite all the forces that can be united." Truman glanced at Kenneth and corrected him.
Even though he actually felt that what the other party said might be right, he couldn't just say such things casually, as it could easily undermine the unity within the Defense Association, and they really needed more help.
Lee Jordan felt that there was another reason, which was to make these excited guys behave themselves. It was not easy to stop these confident guys from going out to cause trouble, so it would be better for Albert to lead the team himself to do a bigger one, at least it would be less likely to cause problems, and he could also use the deterrence of the mysterious man to make everyone behave themselves for a while.
"Set off!"
Nine people rode on flying brooms and, with the cover of the rain, headed towards the Hogwarts train in the distance.
It was a short charge, and they could sense the ominous presence of the Dementors from a distance.
However, this was not a problem for them, as those who were selected to participate in this operation were all the most elite members of the Defense Association.
"Expecto Patronus."
Cedric raised his wand and summoned his own Patronus. Not only him, but everyone else also summoned their own Patronus and let them fly at the front of the team.
"Enemy attack!"
The dark wizards who were originally guarding outside the train in the rain were immediately attracted by this large group of dazzling guardians.
However, they were powerless to stop it.
Because the Patronus's target was not them at all, but went straight to the Dementors that were surrounding the train and absorbing the joy exuded by the students.
A large group of Patronuses came head-on, causing the Dementors to flee in terror.
The battle is about to begin.
Several spells flew directly towards the dark wizard who was floating in the air on his broom, and several unlucky guys fell off their brooms in an instant.
The training results of the original Defense Association were fully demonstrated. Even if the enemy was in the air and moving, their spell accuracy was still very high.
This scene stunned the Death Eater leading the team. He could not understand why the dark wizard beside him was so fragile.
The two sides only fought once, and almost half of their side fell. The funniest thing was that their enemies seemed to have only used a stun spell.
"It's Harry, I see Harry Potter."
I don't know who suddenly screamed loudly.
In fact, he didn't need to shout, because the dark wizards had already seen Harry Potter.
After the forward formation turned around, Lee Jordan immediately took out the fireworks that Albert had given him from his pocket and fired a shot at the dark rain curtain.
This was Cedric's request, in order to attract the dark wizard's attention and give his side a chance to launch a second charge.
He believed that after two rounds of charges, the group of dark wizards would not have much power to resist.
Cedric's plan was quite successful. The dark wizards were attacked for a moment, and before they could fully react, their attention was temporarily attracted by the mark of the Defense Association specially made by Albert.
There was no way. As soon as the mark appeared, it illuminated the dark rain curtain and attracted the attention of everyone present.
When Cedric led his men to launch a second charge, the dark wizards who had no time to react were brutally besieged by justice. All of them were knocked unconscious and fell directly off their brooms. Their lives or deaths were unknown, and the only thing they saw in the end was the face of Harry Potter.
"It was such an easy win."
The crowd cheered in victory.
Cedric glanced at the golden and red Defense Society logo, turned his broom around and took the "Harry Potters" towards the train, letting everyone see who did it today.
Sure enough, when people saw a large group of Harry Potters riding on broomsticks passing through the train windows, they couldn't help but exclaim, and some even waved and cheered at them excitedly.
"I believe what happened today is enough for them to discuss for several months." Lee Jordan looked at the golden-red mark and raised the corners of his mouth with pleasure. Next, he planned to continue to spread the impact of today through the wizard lookout station.
I believe Harry and the Defense Society will leave a deep impression on everyone.
"Alright, go collect the spoils in groups of two according to the plan, and hurry up."
After a while, the Harry Potters riding on their brooms disappeared, leaving only the golden and red shield emblem in the sky, which was particularly conspicuous under the dark rain.
The news soon spread throughout the Hogwarts Express. Everyone now knew that the emblem that looked a bit like Hogwarts, with a griffin as the background and the symbol of two crossed wands, was the emblem of the Defense Society. The legendary savior, the famous Harry Potter, was still fighting hard against the mysterious man with his companions.
