Several people appeared in a remote corridor on the seventh floor of the castle to check the location of the secret passage that Fred mentioned last time.
"The entrance is here."
The four stopped in front of a portrait of a middle-aged wizard. After Albert used the map to confirm that there was no one around, Fred immediately took a step forward and said the password to the portrait: "Sneak up."
The wizard in the portrait put his thumb up to his lips, made a shush gesture to several people, and then turned to open the frame, revealing the secret tunnel hidden inside.
The entrance is very secret. It is hidden behind Edgar Straug's portrait. A special password is required to open the secret passage, which fully meets Albert's requirements.
"This password is like what we do now." Lee Jordan joked.
"Only you talk too much."
The three looked at Albert, waiting for his further action.
Albert put a heavy book in his backpack on the ground, took out his wand from his pocket, and tapped it three times on the front of the book.
The book suddenly unfolded, and a door slowly rose in front of everyone, just inlaid in the passage, as if there was a secret room here.
"It's cool, when did you make this thing?" Lee Jordan reached out and tapped on the door in front of him. No one else could guess that it was actually a book.
"This is just a test product, similar to a wizard's tent." Albert said simply, "I call this a fairy tale house."
Several people pushed open the door eagerly, and what greeted them was... darkness.
"Close your eyes, I'm going to light up the light." Albert reminded him, raising his wand and releasing a few **** of light. The whole room instantly lit up, and the space inside the door was much larger than the classroom.
"The Innocent Stretching Curse can always bring us unexpected surprises." George said with emotion. When they were at home, they also used the Innocent Stretching Curse to expand the space for the development of joke props.
"It's just empty," Fred said, looking around. "We have to move something in."
"Prepared a long time ago, everything is here."
Lee Jordan smiled and put down the box in his hand. Inside were the items they had transferred from the responsive house a while ago.
"When?"
"When you were doing Quidditch training."
Albert took out his pocket watch from his pocket, glanced at the time on it, turned his head and said to George, "Please go outside and wait for the others, lest they don't know how to get in."
"No problem, leave it to me!" George took the map handed over by Albert and asked in confusion, "Why not make the map more detailed?"
"It's enough if it can be used. It takes a lot of time to do it like a live map." Albert motioned to Fred and Lee Jordan to come over and help set up the scene.
Soon a large number of cushions were added to the room, a blackboard and many armchairs, plus a few magic dolls for students to practice magic.
"I think everyone will be surprised." Fred placed the armchair around the blackboard in an arc.
"It's really nice here. George said this is your secret base?"
As soon as Shanna walked into the room, she immediately looked around, not forgetting to complain to Albert, "You should have told me earlier, so I was worried that I might not find a suitable meeting place."
"After all, this is our secret base." Lee Jordan said with a smile, "originally we didn't want other people to know about this place, but later we decided to use it as a gathering place."
"Unexpectedly, there is such a place in the school." Angelina said softly.
"There are a lot of secrets hidden in Hogwarts School. As long as you dig out, you can always find some unexpected surprises." Fred blinked and said, "There are other secrets in this secret room."
"What's the secret?" Angelina was also curious.
"Only at a certain time, this secret room will appear."
"Liar."
"You will know later."
"Specific time?"
"What kind of magic do you plan to teach us today?" Arya walked to the magic doll, fiddled with the fake wand in the doll's hand, and turned to ask Albert who was setting up the scene, "By the way, where did you get this? What kind of stuff?"
"This is a teaching tool for a certain Defence Against the Dark Arts professor." Albert paused and continued, "After the professor left, things were thrown into the Hogwarts storage room. We found the storage room at the beginning. At the time, I discovered that these magic dolls could just be used to practice magic."
"Storage room? Do you mean the dungeon?" The girls were surprised. They had never heard of such a place in Hogwarts Castle.
"No."
"Actually, I think it is more appropriate to call it a garbage dump. Most of the things that Hogwarts don't use are thrown in." Lee Jordan said, "There is a pile of things over there, and many of them are unusable."
"Actually, I'm even more curious about what that is?"
Cedric greeted Albert and looked up at the luminous object hanging in the air. There were several similar things in this room, which provided plenty of light for the entire room.
"A kind of magic props can be used to provide lighting, you can call it: magic lights." Albert introduced.
Cedric seemed to have guessed something, looked at Albert in shock, and said admiringly, "I think this is a great invention."
George closed the door of the room at the end and said to Albert, "Everyone is almost there, and we can start."
Albert counted the number of students. About a dozen students came. In addition to the fifth grade students in Gryffindor, the fifth grade students from Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff also came, but the number was very small. Some of them are local acquaintances Albert knows.
"Okay, take a seat!" Albert motioned for everyone to sit down.
"Aren't you going to teach us magic?" A Hufflepuff guy next to Cedric found that Albert seemed to be going to teach them, and he couldn't help but question.
"Alger, we come here to meet up more so that we can get better scores on the Defense Against the Dark Arts exam." Cedric gave his friend a look and motioned him not to interrupt and waste other people's precious valuables. time.
"What I'm going to talk about tonight is the focus of the exam." Albert looked around everyone, and suddenly he had the illusion of becoming a professor. He continued, "Of course, Professor Lu Ping may talk about the key points he thinks in class, but this does not affect you from listening to me first, it is to strengthen your memory."
"Why don't you just practice it?" the famous Ravenclaw girl raised her hand and asked.
"The Defense Against the Dark Arts exam is not only practical, but also a written test. Okay, don't interrupt me, we'd better hurry up." Albert ignored her and continued, "According to the test papers I collected, The content of ordinary wizard rank examinations in the past generations have basically not changed much..."
Albert brought out his understanding of the ordinary wizard rank test and what he thought was necessary after reading the test paper.
The so-called test points are not boring. Albert will always come up with the corresponding test questions after he finishes speaking. Everyone can't help but abandon distracting thoughts and listen to him intently.
"...The five characteristics of werewolves. The written test of defense against the dark magic in the past will test students' understanding of werewolves. I think the reason for this question is more that the Ministry of Magic cannot determine whether the werewolves are lurking around us. They want us Able to distinguish and stay away from these dangerous dark creatures."
"I'm curious, where did your test questions come from?" the Ravenclaw girl asked again.
"As long as you are willing to spend Jialong, it is not difficult to get the .LS test papers of the last few years." Albert drew three pieces of parchment from his backpack and said to everyone, "Well, today's party is over. I guess that 80% of you will not use pens to memorize these things, so I will help you to sort them out briefly. The content is on the parchment paper. After you go back, go and read it by yourself!"
With that said, Albert gave the parchment to Cedric in Hufflepuff and Katrina in Ravenclaw.
"Why is there only a problem?"
"The content I have just talked about is in the "Dark Force: Self-Defense Guide". You can just draw it and recite it yourself." Albert said calmly, "Actually, the scope of the .Ls test is the "Dark Force: The Dark Force:" "Guide to Self-Defense", there is still no question that exceeds this book, so you don't have to worry about the test being too difficult. As long as the direction of the review is correct, you can get a high score on the Defense Against the Dark Arts test."
"At the next meeting, we will practice defensive spells and cure spells to ensure that everyone can pass the practical exam. Before that, I suggest that you remember what I said today. Anyway, you should start reviewing it too! "Albert said again, "I'll let someone inform you about the time of the next meeting."
"Albert, do you teach other classes?" Shanna asked expectantly.
"Only the Defense Against the Dark Arts class, okay, let's leave this room in an orderly manner. Lee Jordan, you can arrange for them to leave in an orderly manner." Albert said to Lee Jordan.
"It's very detailed, great." Katrina deliberately stayed behind and talked to Albert, "Have you considered coming to school as a defense against the Dark Arts professor in the future."
"I never thought, this course is very evil, I never think I can resist that curse." Albert vetoed it simply.
"If you charge them for surprise tuition, I think many students are willing to pay for it." Katrina knew the value of the parchment in her hand. She turned through the test paper for so long, and Albert concluded easily. The focus of the exam is out.
"Forget it, I never do thankless things." Albert shook his head, "Also, I am no longer short of money."
"It's weird to say this from your mouth." Katrina rolled up the parchment and put it in her pocket, smiling as she watched the crowd leaving in front of her and said, "I think many people must regret not coming today."
"At least, the Slytherin students will not come."
After everyone had left, Albert raised his wand and extinguished the light above his head. After closing the door, he turned it back into a book and stuffed it back into his backpack.
In the corridor outside, everyone was still waiting to say goodbye to Albert.
"It's better to hurry up next time, I can't wait." Cedric asked with a smile. UU Read www.uukanshu.com. com "By the way, and you don't mind if I bring more people over next time."
"Don't mind, as long as you don't come to make trouble." Albert said.
"Goodbye, Teacher Albert."
I don't know who said it first, so everyone booed together, bid farewell to Albert in a slightly ridiculous tone, and gave him the title of teacher.
"Ms. Albert?" Fred teased.
"I'm not old at all," Albert said.
"But you are one year older than us." George reminded maliciously, "so you are indeed older than us."
"You will soon be envious, why not you are a year older than me." Albert said mysteriously.
"Oh, really, don't keep your appetite!" Lee Jordan stretched out his arm around Albert's neck and said, "Did you predict something again, honestly explain."
"Hmph, you'll know about it next semester, wait slowly!"
