Daily Life at Hogwarts

Chapter 1385: Eager to try

Views:

Albert had already known the reason why the Death Eaters were producing so many Inferi through inside information. Although it was related to Snape's suggestion to the Death Eaters to accumulate strength, he couldn't be blamed entirely.

After all, Snape is not a professional scapegoat.

The new headmaster of Hogwarts simply did not want the Death Eaters to confront the anti-Voldemort forces head-on and drag Hogwarts into this confrontation, because he had promised Dumbledore that he would protect the safety of Hogwarts students as much as possible.

No one expected that the Death Eaters' understanding of Snape's accumulation of power would be this kind of accumulation of power.

In fact, it’s not that the Death Eaters want to accumulate strength in this way, but they have no choice and are forced to do so.

Since the last incident in Hogsmeade, the Death Eaters have learned their lesson and dare not continue to rashly recruit other dark creatures.

Without the Dark Lord's suppression, continuing to recruit those dark creatures or dark wizards would only bring them greater trouble.

Organizing training for dark wizards like the Defense Association

That's even more impossible.

Even for the Dark Lord, it would be difficult to do it, otherwise those dark wizards would not be just dark wizards, but well-trained Aurors.

After the Death Eaters stopped counting on the dark wizards, they soon discovered with joy that creating Inferi was indeed a good idea. They were indeed restrained by light and fire, but ordinary wizards, knowing the weaknesses of Inferi, would need some effort to destroy an Inferi.

Once the number of Inferi increases, most wizards will have to run away when they encounter them, even if they know their weaknesses.

Even if people from the Defense Society and the Order of the Phoenix come to cause trouble, let them take their time. After all, the corpses of Muggles are like weeds on the ground. There are as many as you want. If there are not enough, just cut some more.

Yes, both Yaxley and McNeill felt that instead of letting the enemies torment themselves, it would be better to let them torment the group of Inferi, and then find a way to deal with them after the Dark Lord returned to England.

When Albert learned the news from the Death Eaters, he was also shocked by their thought processes.

If the Death Eaters really did that, he really had no good solution. Unless he killed them directly, he would not be able to stop the Death Eaters from continuing to harm ordinary people. But killing the Death Eaters now was not a good idea, because their goal was to kill Voldemort. Once all the Death Eaters were dead, Voldemort would definitely be scared and hide, so he could only continue to wait patiently for the opportunity.

However, since he couldn't stop the Death Eaters from producing large numbers of Inferi, he didn't mind using the Inferi as training tools for the members of the association.

For the members of the Defense Association who have undergone half a year of combat training, the Inferi are indeed a very good training tool. It can effectively improve their combat experience and courage, and will help the members of the Association to bravely pick up their wands to fight against the enemy when facing dark wizards in the future. Even if the opponent is Voldemort, they dare to use magic to hit the opponent in the face.

As Albert expected, the news that the Death Eaters were creating a large number of Inferi quickly spread among the Defense Association. Soon after, the Order of the Phoenix also learned about it, but to everyone's surprise, they were indifferent to it.

The Order of the Phoenix was apparently unable to solve the problem of the Inferi, otherwise there would not have been so many Inferi appearing during the First Wizarding War when Dumbledore was still alive.

After realizing that the Order of the Phoenix was unreliable, members of the Defense Society held an emergency meeting to discuss how to eliminate the Inferi.

Everyone agreed that, as long as they were careful, the Inferi would be a better tool for combat training than the Dementors.

There's no way, people are too eager to fight.

After mastering magic, the most frustrating thing is having no place to perform it.

When practicing with teammates, everyone will hold back, mostly to accumulate experience in battling wizards and their own reactions.

Whenever he went out on a mission, Albert would generally not bring along members with low levels of defense against the dark arts due to safety concerns.

This directly leads to polarization in the level of association members.

After confirming again and again that Albert approved of them doing so, various fire spells were gathered together and became the spells that most association members practiced first.

Because they all knew that this might be one of the few chances for everyone to fight the dark creatures before the mysterious man returned to England.

“I know everyone can’t wait.”

When Albert appeared at the headquarters again and gathered everyone together to discuss the matter, his tone was still extremely calm, "But your enemies are not only the Inferi. You may also encounter Death Eaters or Dark wizards. Once they attack you together with the Inferi, it will become extremely deadly."

After pouring a basin of cold water on everyone, Albert began to explain how to deal with the corpses and what precautions should be taken.

Although these corpses resurrected by black magic are not difficult to deal with, they will become a big trouble once their numbers increase, because they are difficult to kill completely.

In the "Self-Defense Guide", Albert mentioned a method to deal with the Inferi: the Fire-Starting Spell.

Many wizards, when using the Fire Charm, can only shoot some flames from their wands, which may temporarily disperse the corpses, but cannot completely eliminate them.

Therefore, how to make the Fire-Starting Spell more lethal is the reason why Albert stands here, because not everyone can deal with the Yin corpses effectively, and the Fire-Starting Spell will be a good way for them.

"I know you may have mastered some powerful fire spells, but what I want to talk about today is how to use the fire spell to defeat the enemy. I believe everyone is already familiar with this spell..."

Albert explained to everyone and demonstrated how to make the fire spell powerful enough to kill the enemy.

With a loud bang, an orange fireball blew the target away and set it on fire.

"This is a bit like the Exploding Spell, but the Exploding Spell can only blow the Inferi away at best, while this can also ignite the Inferi at the same time.

Of course, its significance lies more in long-range projection to ignite the Inferi. It is undoubtedly unwise to face a large number of Inferi at close range..."

"The Death Eaters created a lot of Inferi?" someone couldn't help but ask after Albert stopped.

"A lot. Hundreds, thousands, or even more. Never try to guess the bottom line of a dark wizard." Albert looked at the Hufflepuff girl and continued, "From what I know so far, those Death Eaters have hidden hundreds of Inferi in two secret places, and one of them will be your next target."

"Did you find it?"

"Yes, but you're not ready yet."

Albert continued to explain and demonstrate the various application techniques of the Fire-Making Spell, which dumbfounded many members who thought they understood the Fire-Making Spell, and even made them feel that they had just gotten started.

After a simple attempt, the situation turned out to be just as Albert guessed. It was not that difficult to master some techniques of using the fire-generating spell. It was just that they had never thought that the fire-generating spell could have other uses besides making fire.

After some reminders, people figured out why Albert taught them to use the fire spell to deal with the Inferi.

Simple, familiar, fast and effective.

Even if you are really faced with a large number of Yin corpses, don't worry. You can create a firewall to completely separate and surround the Yin corpses.
