Chapter 325 Shocking Change
Chapter 325 Shocking Change
The next day, Mo Bai got up and went downstairs before 5 o'clock as usual.
They get up at 5 o'clock every day to run without fail, but Mo Bai always gets up a little earlier.
This way, when Hermione comes out, she will see me waiting for her.
Originally there were Harry and Ron, but they gave up after only a year.
Mo Bai didn't force it.
But unexpectedly, someone arrived earlier than him today.
Neville, wearing a short-sleeved shirt and shorts, stood in the lounge with a silly smile on his face.
"Are you up? Are you used to it?"
"It's OK," Neville touched his nose, "I used to get up in the morning to water the flowers at home."
"Do you like growing flowers?"
“I’m more interested in plants.”
Mo Bai nodded.
He found a chair and sat down, while Neville stood uncomfortably in front of him.
It looks like an interview.
"Why do you want to try cultivation?"
Neville scratched his head.
"Because I'm stupid and not good at magic. I even forget spells."
"As a cultivator, you also need to remember the magic formula."
"But I can endure hardship!" Neville replied quickly, "Hermione said she wanted to run for a month to see if she had talent. I want to give it a try."
"You still haven't told me why you want to try cultivation."
Neville was silent for a while, his clenched fists trembling a little.
"I want to defeat the Death Eaters myself, and defeat Vol…Voldemort."
He uttered the horrible name in a trembling voice.
"But with my qualifications, if I were only a wizard, it would be difficult for me to have this opportunity..."
Mo Bai looked at Neville.
The hatred and anger in his eyes were real.
"So... can I have this chance?"
Mo Bai smiled, stood up and patted his shoulder.
"Then give it a try."
It turns out that Neville was right when he said he could endure hardships.
Although his face was covered in sweat and his steps were beginning to stagger at the end, he managed to persevere through the three laps.
When he heard that he had finished running, he lay down on the ground.
"Get up! Don't lie down!"
Mo Bai's stern shout made him sit up with a start, and then he grinned.
"Now is the most important thing," Mo Bai motioned him to look at Amy.
Amy was already sitting cross-legged on the lawn facing the morning sun, she closed her eyes and began to breathe.
"Sit next to her and learn how she breathes."
"Sit up straight!"
"Sit up straight even if it hurts!"
Seeing him sitting obediently, he looked at Amy and imitated her breathing.
Hermione retorted to Mo Bai.
"You seem to think highly of him."
Mo Bai looked at his back.
"Cultivation is different from magic. Talent is secondary. What's important is the heart."
"Peace is the mind, anger is also the mind."
“He has that.”
"Oh~" Hermione nodded as if she understood, then suddenly her eyes widened and she pinched his waist.
"You mean to say I have no heart?"
"No no!"
Mo Bai quickly begged for mercy.
But then he said seriously, "The most important reason why you can't practice Taoism is that you are too smart."
"That's a plus for wizards, and vice versa."
"Oh," Hermione sneered, "No matter how smart I am, I can't be as cunning as someone else."
"I'm different."
"Bah! Stinky fart!"
Just as the two were laughing and joking, an extremely discordant voice rang out.
"What are you doing?!"
Neville shuddered when he heard the voice and pretended to turn back.
"do not move!"
Mo Bai stopped him, "Today's second lesson is that people who practice Taoism must remain calm in the face of any abnormality and let the breeze caress their faces."
"Just look at Amy. When she stops, you stop too."
After saying this, he slowly turned around.
"Morning, Professor Umbridge."
Hermione had already turned around and was looking at Umbridge who was walking towards her quickly with an arrogant look on her face.
"Professor, it's not class time, and it's not curfew. What we do doesn't seem to be any of your business."
Umbridge stared at the two men viciously.
"The Ministry of Magic has just issued a decree that all regular gatherings of three or more people are illegal. I have the right to expel you!"
Hermione scoffed.
"So students' morning exercises are also considered assemblies? Then why don't you just expel all students who walk together in groups of more than three after class?"
"Oh, by the way, there are more than three students gathered together in class every day. Do you want to expel the whole school, Professor Umbridge?"
Seeing Umbridge shaking with anger at her words, Hermione curled her lips.
uninteresting.
Arguing with this guy doesn't require as much brainpower as flirting with Mo Bai.
Seeing her appearance, Umbridge's face turned blue with anger and looked even more like a toad.
"I'll catch you, just wait and see."
Watching her go, Hermione shrugged.
"This time she has completely set her sights on us."
"She's not that stupid. People disappear and come back regularly every day. Anyone can guess that it's organized."
"And it seems that no one in the whole school has the courage to confront her head-on."
"But you set up the Chamber of Secrets yourself," Hermione hugged Mo Bai's arm, her eyes full of trust, "No one can find it without your permission."
"Yes, without my permission..."
The Darkness Army continued to train as usual, and it seemed that with Neville taking the lead, a few more people joined in the morning jog every day.
Hermione looked at Mo Bai as if she was looking at her husband who was secretly taking the children out to play.
And Umbridge's action began.
She started chatting with people one by one, and everyone came out looking overwhelmed.
Of course, there were also members of the Darkness Army among them.
Mo Bai collected a few more magic books.
But a few days later, he and Hermione brought these people back personally and restored their memories.
Because Mo Bai discovered that Umbridge actually borrowed the truth serum from Snape!
This was revealed "inadvertently" by Snape.
Of course Mo Bai would not hide this and revealed it directly to everyone in the secret room.
"The Ministry of Magic has not only taken away our freedoms, they have begun to violate our human rights."
It immediately aroused public outrage.
As for the truth about Hermione's magic, after hearing Mo Bai's words, everyone was not disgusted at all. Instead, they felt that it was as it should be.
As a result, the Darkness Army was more motivated to learn, and some even brought in partners they knew and trusted.
Hermione's army was growing.
But Umbridge's efforts were in vain.
I can only feel helpless and furious in the office.
However, things don't always go smoothly.
Harry's progress in Occlumency has been far from ideal, except that he went from having nightmares every day to having nightmares every two or three days.
In his dream, he still felt dark and confused.
He always dreamed of walking in a dark corridor with a door at the end.
His heart was beating fast, longing to open the door, longing for something on the other side of the door...
He told his friends his dream truthfully. Ron and the others were confused, while Hermione and Mo Bai also frowned in thought.
What he sensed must have been Voldemort's thoughts.
So where is Voldemort going? And what is he going to get?
Until, late one night, Harry got up screaming.
He looked at Mo Bai who was awakened, and then at Ron who was looking at him in surprise, his face as pale as a ghost.
"Something's happened to Mr. Weasley!"
