"I accidentally let you slip away yesterday, so don't even think about running away today."
Albert had just finished breakfast and was about to go to the Room of Requirement when he stood up and was pushed back to his seat by Fred, George and Lee Jordan. After yesterday's experience, they would never let Albert out of their sight and leave the matter of holding the wizard card competition to them.
"I have important things to do," said Albert.
"I think it's more important for you to stay here and host the Wizard Card Competition, and you should take the time to meet the successor of the club, or do you want the Wizard Card Club to end with our term?" Lee Jordan stared at Albert.
At present, the popularity of wizard cards is still linked to Albert. Once Albert graduates from Hogwarts School, the Wizard Card Club will inevitably plummet. Who will play wizard cards in the school then
"Don't worry, once I finish building the activity room, the Wizard Card Club will definitely continue to exist." Albert didn't think that the Wizard Card Club would disappear with his graduation. As long as the club could organize competitions, bring happiness to everyone, and be a good place to make friends, it would continue to exist.
"Are you really going to give the book to Professor McGonagall, who will then pass it on to the next successor?" Fred frowned. "Is it really necessary to do this?"
"This will ensure that the book won't be lost or embezzled by someone." Albert never minded speculating about others with the greatest malice, and he dared to say that if this layer was not there, someone would definitely embezzle his book.
"What book?" Shanna asked curiously.
"It's a magical book. I haven't thought of a name for the time being." Albert introduced, "As long as you open the book, you will enter an empty activity room. There is enough space inside for everyone to play wizard cards together."
"It sounds a bit like a fairy tale." Angelina was reluctant to believe that such a thing existed.
"Didn't you meet last semester?" Fred reminded.
"Last semester?"
“The classroom that Albert used was actually that book,” George explained.
"But didn't you say that it was a secret room?"
"A movable secret room." Fred shrugged and said, "To some extent, Albert is right."
"No wonder we can't find the entrance to the Chamber of Secrets sometimes." Alia admired Albert's attainments in the Traceless Extension Charm, but she still kindly reminded him, "As far as I know, the Ministry of Magic strictly stipulates that the Traceless Extension Charm cannot be used for private purposes."
"What you call strict regulations are actually rules deliberately made by the Ministry of Magic in order to ensure their own monopoly." Albert said calmly.
"How do you know?" Aaliyah asked with wide eyes.
"Isn't it strange that Albert knows several officials from the Ministry of Magic and knows some secrets that no one else knows?" Fred asked back. Anyway, they were not surprised at all.
In fact, their father had secretly used the Untraceable Extension Charm on their own car.
"That is the guarantee we leave for the Wizard Card Club. Besides, we can't play cards in the auditorium forever. We need an activity room of our own so that everyone can enjoy playing games."
"I agree with you." Shanna said expectantly, "But when will you take out the book for everyone to see?"
"I believe everyone will be willing to help decorate the Wizard Card Club's activity room."
"When the final comes." Albert prepared to take out the book for a second test. He thought it might come in handy next semester.
While Albert and his group gathered together to discuss the future plans of the Wizard Card Club, Harry, Hermione and Ron, who had finished breakfast early, were walking towards the Forbidden Forest on the edge of the school.
As they passed Hagrid's hunting lodge from a distance, they saw Hagrid talking to Madame Maxime of Beauxbatons. Not far from the Beauxbatons carriage, a stable was rising rapidly.
"Hagrid seems to like Madame Maxime?" Ron said to Hermione next to him, looking at the two people who were talking.
Harry and Hermione didn't reply, and the three of them continued to walk towards the Forbidden Forest. After arriving at an open area, Hermione reached into her pocket and took out a piece of parchment, then turned her head and said to Harry, "Today we are going to learn the Eye-Scarring Charm. Sirius thinks that if the opponent of the first task is a dragon, the Eye-Scarring Charm will be a good choice, as the dragon's eyelids are one of their few weaknesses. Of course, angering a dragon is not a very good choice."
"A dragon?" Ron couldn't believe his ears.
"Is it strange?" Harry turned his head to look at Ron and said expressionlessly: "?'s magical creatures are not easy to find. Albert thinks the dragon is a good choice. Of course, another choice is the eight-eyed giant spider. There are many of these things in the Forbidden Forest."
"He might be wrong," Ron said without hesitation.
"Why do you think the death rate in the Triwizard Tournament was so high? Why was it banned in the end?" Hermione glanced at Ron and said to Harry, "Most magical creatures are very resistant to ordinary spells."
"The Stunning Spell doesn't work well on a dragon," Ron reminded. "Without seven or eight experienced wizards, it's impossible to subdue a dragon."
"Learn the Stunning Spell, of course, to use on people. Don't forget the guy who threw your name into the Goblet of Fire. According to Albert, he will probably do something to you in the final project." Sirius and Lupin walked towards them. "We can't let you go to the battlefield without any combat experience. If you do that, you might not live until the end of the Triwizard Tournament."
"Good morning Sirius, and Remus." Harry greeted Sirius with a smile.
"Good morning, Harry. This is for you." Sirius took out a wand from his pocket and handed it to Harry. "Try it first and see if it works."
"I have a wand now?" Harry showed Sirius his wand. He didn't understand why Sirius gave him a new wand.
"Of course I know you have your own wand, but you need to prepare another one as a backup." Sirius explained: "Most wizards lose their ability to resist after losing their wands. You need to prepare an extra wand as a backup."
"Last night, Sirius remembered Albert's advice and went to Mr. Ollivander's early in the morning to buy this wand for you." Lupin explained, "You probably don't know that Albert owns many wands. He once told us that the rowan wand is very suitable for dueling and is also very suitable for casting defensive spells."
"Professor Lupin, what's in the cage you are holding?" Hermione's eyes fell on the cage in Lupin's hand.
"A ferret," said Lupin. "It's for Harry to use in training the Eye-Scarlet Charm. But before that, Harry needs to master the Eye-Scarlet Charm first."
"A ferret?" Ron couldn't help laughing.
"What's the problem?" Lupin asked, looking at Ron.
"Nothing, I just remembered something very interesting." Ron pursed his lips slightly. He remembered that Malfoy was once turned into a ferret by Professor Moody.
How great it would be if this ferret was Malfoy!
"Come on, let's go into the tent and let Remus teach you how to deal with those magical creatures."
"What if the first task isn't to deal with magical creatures?" Ron asked rhetorically.
"I don't think Albert has any reason to lie to us." Sirius was very confident in Albert's divination.
"Have you asked Albert about the content of the first divination item?" Hermione couldn't help but ask. She thought this was cheating.
"It's a fire dragon. Every warrior needs to deal with a dragon." Lupin took a deep breath and revealed the content of the first task to the three people. "In fact, Albert did not guess wrong."
"Sirius, there is absolutely no need for you to waste your money." Harry looked at his godfather, somewhat disgusted that he spent money to ask Albert for divination.
"This is normal, Harry. Real prophets always charge very high fees. What's more... Never mind. You should master the Eyesickness Charm first. Once you master this spell, you will need to practice other spells and prepare a few backup plans to ensure that you can pass the first project smoothly." Sirius was different from Harry. He was happy to ask Albert for divination. Spending some money could ensure Harry's safety, so why not do it
"Thanks to you, otherwise I don't know what to do." Harry hung his head in shame. If it weren't for Sirius helping him, he wouldn't even know what to do now. Would he just stupidly participate in the first project, and then be scorched by the dragon and forced to give up the first project
The three of them were listening carefully to Professor Lupin explaining to them how to use the Eye-Sickness Charm.
"Are we going to look for the troll later?" asked Ron. This was the reason why he came here.
"Troll? Oh, we need to train Harry's courage. This is very important. It would be bad if he was scared by a dragon and his hands and feet became weak." Sirius took out a target and hung it on a tree, and let Harry train facing the target.
"Does Harry really need to face a dragon?" Hermione asked worriedly.
"Don't worry Hermione, Harry will be fine. You should have confidence in him." Lupin comforted her. "By the way, have you started learning the Flying Spell now?"
“I’ve mastered it.”
"Harry, how's your Summoning Charm going?" Sirius shouted at Harry.
"I haven't had time to master it yet." Harry defended himself. The Sling Charm had been taught in the Charms class, but Harry had not yet mastered it.
"Does it require the use of a Slingshot?" Hermione asked doubtfully.
"Albert suggested that we play to Harry's strengths," Lupin said with a smile.
"Harry's strengths?" Ron asked doubtfully.
"It's flying," Hermione explained. "Does Harry plan to use the Summoning Charm to summon the Firebolt?"
"Yes, if the Eye-Scarring Charm doesn't work as expected, Harry can at least rely on the Firebolt to continue to fight the dragon. I don't think they would expect the warriors to defeat a dragon. The warriors probably need to meet certain conditions to at least save Harry's life. As for the competition, it's not that important."
"I'll find time to teach Harry how to use the Summoning Charm." Hermione felt it necessary to let Harry understand the world.
"This sounds like Albert's idea?" Ron looked at Lupin in confusion and said, "I remember Albert was also a great Seeker?"
"With Albert's ability, these will probably be of little use." Lupin admired Albert's ability very much, and he even thought of a solution for them.
By noon, Harry had already mastered the Eye-blinding Charm. He used the ferret to test the spell and found that it was too weak. It could not seriously injure the dragon or temporarily blind it. Instead, it would directly anger it, causing Harry to get into trouble.
"Okay Harry, we should go into the woods and find an acromantula to train your courage!"
"Isn't it a troll?" Ron spat out the butterbeer he had just drunk.
"I did originally plan to look for trolls, but unfortunately I didn't find any trolls around. Instead, I found the nest of the eight-eyed giant spider. Those big spiders are also very suitable for training courage." Sirius said with a stern face.
"Um... I feel like my stomach is aching. I need to go back to school first." Ron's hand holding the butterbeer was shaking slightly.
Harry put his hand on Ron's slightly trembling shoulder and comforted him with a smile: "Don't worry, Ron. With Sirius and Remus here, we won't be in danger."
"If we are really in danger, they will use Apparition to take us away as soon as possible." Hermione added.
"But, giant spiders and dragons..." Ron really didn't want to deal with that group of giant spiders. It was a completely losing business.
"Ron, don't underestimate the Acromantula. Since it can be rated as a magical creature of the highest order, it must have its own unique features."
“I don’t underestimate it.”
"Our goal is to catch one or two lone Acromantulas as practice targets for Harry, and then we can Apparate away directly," Fred suggested.
"Why should I go along too?"
"This will also be a good experience for you. You will use the Stunning Spell and the Obstruction Spell together. I remember I taught you yesterday."
"Is this why you asked us to cast the Stunning Spell and the Obstruction Spell yesterday?" Harry said suddenly.
"Um... I think I might get in the way if I go there." Ron suddenly felt a little embarrassed, because he didn't know how to cast the Stunning Spell or the Obstacle Spell. He suddenly felt stupid for envying Harry for becoming a warrior. Obviously, being a warrior is not that easy.
"It's okay, Ron, you can help us keep watch. In order to ensure that everything is safe and prevent us from being surrounded by eight-eyed giant spiders, we need someone to help us stay alert to the surroundings. You will use this later." Sirius took something out of his pocket.
"What is this?" Hermione asked curiously.
"This is the dark creature detector that Albert gave me. He said it can detect dark creatures around us. The Acromantula is a group creature, so we have to be careful not to be surrounded and attacked by them." Lupin explained in a low voice to everyone.
"Well," said Ron dryly, knowing that he couldn't get away from dealing with those giant spiders.
