It's not quite what they imagined.

Truman asked doubtfully: "Do you live here?"

"Of course not. We live elsewhere. Come with me. This is just the entrance to the hidden stronghold." George explained to the two of them, "In order to prevent someone from invading here, Albert has prepared several lines of defense. Even if he is really attacked by the mysterious person,

Keeping an eye on them can also buy us enough time."

"Of course, I think that situation should not happen. After all, this place is protected by the Loyalty Curse, but everything may be unexpected."

After speaking, George led the two of them to the hall and entered the real headquarters of the Defense Association through the secret passage under the carpet.

"How come...this place is simply..."

Truman looked at the concrete underground base, his mouth wide open in surprise and speechless.

"This door is so narrow!"

Looking at the entrance that could only accommodate one person, Cedric asked curiously: "Is this to prevent intrusion?"

"Yes, if someone tries to invade our headquarters, they will be attacked head-on at the first opportunity." Fred nodded, "Actually, I don't think these things will be useful, but it is undeniable that seeing these things will

It makes people feel very safe.”

"You're right." Cedric agreed with Fred's words.

"The room next to it is the guard room. There are many black magic detectors in it. There is a similar room in the headquarters, which is responsible for monitoring all safe houses." George paused and continued, "Of course, that room is not open to the public.

.”

After passing through the front hall, they came to a spacious and long narrow corridor with various wooden doors on both sides and a spacious hall at the end.

"This looks a bit like the Great Hall of Hogwarts."

"Yes, it is modeled after the hall of Hogwarts." Fred nodded, "However, the construction was a little hasty, but I think it should be enough to accommodate nearly a hundred people training in defense against the dark arts."

"How on earth did you build this place?"

Truman once again asked his doubts. He had long noticed that cement was used here, and it was obviously built recently.

"This place is actually much smaller than you expected. It was purely expanded by Albert using the Traceless Stretching Spell. As you can see, there are many things here that are imperfect and can only be completed slowly by relying on other members."

"I feel like I have joined an amazing organization." Truman sighed softly: "When will the meeting start? And we all have our own jobs. Is it like the dark arts training of the Ministry of Magic?"

"Albert is still compiling a special book for us, and will teach you more combat skills at that time. After all, what we need to face in the future will be those evil dark wizards, and we can't do it without some self-defense skills." Lee Jordan

To signal them to calm down,

"I thought you all joined the Order of the Phoenix." Cedric suddenly said

"Yes, we have all joined the Order of the Phoenix, but that does not prevent us from joining another organization." Fred shrugged, "After all, we are all fighting against the mysterious man."

"Albert believes that Harry and the mysterious man will eventually have a battle. He believes that Harry and the members of the Order of the Phoenix alone are not enough. More supporters are needed to win the final victory of this war." George explained to the two of them.

road.

"It seems that Harry won in the end!" Cedric was very satisfied with this. No one wanted to face a failed ending, and this news could increase everyone's confidence.

"Of course." Lee Jordan said matter-of-factly: "That day is not far away. Before then, what we need now is to gather more like-minded partners."

"Are we going to fight against the dark wizards?"

"Maybe in the future, but definitely not now. After all, we are all rookies. Even if we really have to go to the battlefield, we still need to undergo rigorous training instead of dying in vain. Such sacrifices are meaningless."
