Potter Army?
You know, this name... it's actually kind of fun.
"I think this name is great." Angelina smiled in support, "Potter Army? Sounds pretty interesting — we're all learning under Professor Potter's leadership, so why not call it Potter Army? I bet besides Professor Dumbledore, the Ministry of Magic is also quite wary of Professor Potter, right?"
"We support it too." The other students raised their hands to show support.
Hermione was quick to act; she grabbed paper and pen and swiftly recorded all the students' names, then wrote "Potter Army" at the top.
"Great," Harry said as he sat down, "Shall we start practicing? What's today's spell lesson?"
Harry thought for a moment and then said, "Besides the Iron Armor Spell, I think everyone needs to learn the Disarming Spell — it's the most commonly used spell and applicable in most situations."
"Certainly." He added, "Some of you might already know this spell, but considering everyone's situation, I believe teaching this spell in class is urgent — those who have already learned it can strengthen their memory again."
"Oh, come on," Zacharias Smith said, arms crossed and eyes wide open, "I mean — well, if You-Know-Who really has come back as Dumbledore said, the Expelliarmus wouldn't work on him, right?"
"Is that so?" Harry smiled at Zacharias, "You know? I've used this spell to disarm Voldemort more than once; he is not immune to it — in fact, hardly any wizard can be immune to this spell."
"Besides." Harry continued, "If you remember Miss Grindelwald — Lady Villatia Grindelwald, former Slytherin student and now the Minister of Magic of the Great German Ministry of Magic, she has used a spell to disarm Professor Dumbledore. This proves that even a wizard as powerful as Professor Dumbledore can't resist the Disarming Spell."
"Really?" Zacharias was still somewhat skeptical, "I mean, of course, you can because you're Harry Potter — but us? Can we use the Disarming Spell on You-Know-Who? He's so strong..."
Harry didn't answer but turned to face Neville.
"Mr. Longbottom," he said, "Please stand up and prepare to use the Disarming Spell on me."
Neville obediently stood up.
"I think everyone knows Mr. Longbottom." Harry said formally, "Two years ago, under my guidance, he learned the Disarming Spell — you all know my skill, so let's see if Mr. Longbottom can disarm my magic wand — I won't resist."
As he spoke, he pulled out the magic wand he bought from Mr. Olivander.
Beech Wood, Dragon Heartstring, Eleven Inches.
Neville walked over and stood opposite Harry.
"Relax." Harry reassured him, "You've successfully mastered the Disarming Spell, now what you need to do is casting this spell in front of everyone, disarm me — proving to everyone that nobody can resist the Disarming Spell."
Neville nodded, took a deep breath, raised his magic wand, and pointed it at Harry.
"Expelliarmus (Disarming Spell)!"
Red light shot out from the tip of Neville's wand and hit Harry's arm.
Harry's magic wand spun and flew into Neville's hand.
"Well done, Mr. Longbottom!" Harry wasn't angry but applauded to encourage Neville, "Very good spell, Gryffindor gets two points!"
Seeing Neville successfully disarm Harry, the hearts of the students present were put at ease.
Neville stepped forward and returned the magic wand to Harry.
"Next," Harry spoke, "I need to tell you all — this spell can be used at any time, like at the start of a Wizard Duel, or in the middle, or even as the finishing spell, in short, its subtlety lies in an effective application."
He picked up the wand, drawing the trajectory of the Disarming Spell in the air.
"Swing the wand along this trajectory," Harry said again, "Pair up and practice this spell; it's not very difficult, right?"
Everyone stood up at once, pairing just like when they practiced the Iron Armor Spell before.
This time, Luna wasn't left alone; she teamed up with Annie.
Harry, seeing no student left out, nodded with satisfaction and raised his hand, saying loudly, "Alright - now listen to me count to three —... One, two, three!"
The room was suddenly filled with the sound of Expelliarmus, spells flying everywhere, and stray spells hitting books on the shelf, causing them to fly up in the air.
Harry used the Summoning Charm and Floating Spell to return the books to their place as he walked to the middle of the room.
However, he noticed Zacharias was having an odd situation; every time he opened his mouth to disarm Anthony Goldstein, his own wand flew out, and Anthony seemed not to utter a word.
But Harry quickly cracked the mystery, Fred and George were nearby Smith, taking turns aiming their magic wands at his back.
"Sorry, Harry," seeing Harry's glance, George quickly said, "Couldn't resist."
"I suggest you two practice with each other." Harry said sternly to the twins, "Gryffindor will have two points deducted because of your actions!"
As the words fell, all the Gryffindor students glared at the twins.
"Alright, Professor Xiao Mage!" The twins said jokingly, not taking the deduction seriously at all.
