Daily Life at Hogwarts Chapter 1140: Catch the truth

Chapter 1142 Grab the truth

Fred, George, and Lee Jordan were all stunned, obviously not expecting that Sirius would send them a message at this time and invite them to "dinner".

Of course, the so-called dinner is just an excuse. Sirius obviously has something to discuss with them, or Albert.

Besides this, they can't think of other possibilities.

After a short silence in the restaurant, George took the lead to break the silence, complaining: "He should have said earlier, we are almost full."

"I think Sirius wants to talk about cooperation by the way."

"Why don't you guys go there later?" Lee Jordan continued, "By the way, can Professor Lupine work overtime recently?"

"Okay, but you better not get your hopes up."

George and Fred quickly finished their share of dinner and left in a hurry.

"Are you so busy every day?"

"Yeah, I'm really grateful for your help, otherwise I would have been even busier." Lee Jordan looked at the backs of the two of them leaving, and sighed, "However, I did earn a lot of Galleons. A few years, if you stick to it, it will pass, and you won't have to worry about Garen anymore, so you don't have to care about Albert giving you a high salary, you deserve it."

When Fred and George rushed to No. 12 Grimmauld Place, they found that the so-called invitation to dinner at home was just an excuse.

Sirius, Lupine, Mad-Eye Moody, Kingsley and Professor McGonagall all looked very serious, as if something bad had happened.

"What's wrong?" George asked.

"Can you contact Albert?" Professor McGonagall asked immediately.

"I'm afraid it will be difficult. Albert is just married, and he certainly doesn't want anyone to disturb his post-marital trip." George was not too surprised by this, and asked directly, "What can you do with Albert?"

There was a brief silence in the restaurant, which made Fred and George a little curious about what they were looking for with Albert.

"About Dumbledore," said Professor McGonagall.

"What's wrong with Dumbledore?" Fred raised his eyebrows slightly, and he thought he might have guessed the reason.

"Dumbledore is injured. When I saw him last time, I found that his left palm seemed to be scorched by flames." Professor McGonagall's voice was full of anxiety, "I feel that It is a very serious injury, dry and charred, as if dead."

"What kind of magic do you think caused that kind of damage?" Mad-Eye Moody asked, frowning.

"No, this is not the point Moody." Professor McGonagall said irritably: "Do you remember Albert's prediction? The prediction that the Ministry of Magic will collapse in the future."

"The current Ministry of Magic doesn't look like it might collapse at any time." Kingsley shook his head. He knew the situation of the Ministry of Magic very well. Although Scrimgeour's actions were a bit messy, the Ministry of Magic was indeed much better than before. Everyone was more united, and Scrimgeour showed them confidence.

"There is only one possibility that could lead to the downfall of the Ministry of Magic."

In fact, everyone present knew what possibility Professor McGonagall was talking about.

Dumbledore is dead.

Only when Dumbledore is dead can Voldemort kill Scrimgeour with impunity and take over the Ministry of Magic directly.

The living room fell silent again.

Fred and George exchanged glances, obviously not expecting to be called to discuss this matter.

Actually, they also guessed what Professor McGonagall said, because Albert once said that the wizarding world will be more chaotic and Muggle wizards will be in big trouble.

"But... why did Dumbledore hide this matter?" Lupine asked puzzled.

"It is likely that he thinks we don't need to know?" Sirius curled his lips and said, "Harry told me that Dumbledore will teach him this year."

"So, you think Dumbledore is dying and decided to tell Harry?" Moody also thinks this possibility is very high.

Dumbledore hinted to them more than once that Harry was important.

Actually, as early as Albert predicted that the Ministry of Magic would collapse, there had been such doubts and speculations. However, the probability of the prophecy coming true is really not high. Even if the person who made the prophecy is Albert, everyone is at best dubious.

After all, no one wants to believe such absurd things as Dumbledore's death. What's more, Albert didn't directly predict that Dumbledore would die, it was all their own guess.

However, the fact that Dumbledore was suspected of being enchanted by black magic completely aroused everyone's uneasiness, so they tried to find out all this through Albert.

"I dare say Anderson must know something." Professor McGonagall said confidently, "On the day of the wedding, I saw them go out together, and I don't know what they talked about."

"Ahem!" George coughed lightly, drawing everyone's attention.

"Did you find something?" Sirius looked at George expectantly.

"I think you'd better not pin your hopes on Albert." George reminded rather helplessly, "If Dumbledore doesn't want to say it, Albert probably won't tell us either."

"Yes." Fred nodded and agreed, "Perhaps, Albert knows a lot of things, but he seldom tells others, probably because he doesn't think it's necessary to let too many people know, or he thinks it's not appropriate to let them know now." Others know."

Fred and George have been with Albert for seven years, and they know each other's character very well. He felt that even if Professor McGonagall really asked Albert for divination, that guy would probably let her ask Dumbledore directly.

"You think he won't tell us?" Lupine raised an eyebrow.

"If Albert is not willing to divination for us, the result may not be very good." Sirius speculated that he knew Albert better, "One more thing, if Dumbledore is really killed , I very much doubt that the one who strikes will be Snape."

"Sirius."

Everyone frowned, it was not the first time that Sirius targeted Snape.

"If you don't believe me, you can ask them." Sirius pointed to Fred and George, "Don't forget, professors at Hogwarts, the fact that Snape didn't receive the invitation is very strange in itself, Don't tell me Albert didn't invite Snape to the wedding because of their bad relationship."

"I don't think Albert is that kind of person. There must be some reason why Albert thinks Snape is untrustworthy." Nepe himself was suspicious, and he never forgot that one of Albert's reluctance to join the Order of the Phoenix was that he believed there might be traitors in the Order. "

"Dumbledore swears that Snape is on our side." Professor McGonagall frowned, "He was sure that Snape's confession was absolutely from the heart...he also said he didn't want to hear a sentence Talk bad about Snape!"

"I dare say Albert has long known that Snape is a double agent." Sirius tapped his finger on the table, "And he obviously thinks that Snape is not trustworthy..."

"Yes, Albert doesn't trust Snape." George agreed with Sirius, "I once asked Albert why he didn't want to join the Order of the Phoenix, and he said that the Order of the Phoenix is ​​unreliable and full of loopholes. "

"It's useless for us to speculate here." Moody actually didn't trust Snape very much, "The best way is to talk to Dumbledore directly, but I think the possibility of him telling us is not high, Then finding Albert to prophesy is the best choice at present."

Although Moody doesn't really believe in divination, the fact proves Albert's authority in the field of prophecy, just like Sirius said, no matter what the outcome is, there is no harm in asking Albert to make a prediction.

"What if our guess is true?" Lupine asked suddenly.

An eerie silence fell into the living room again.

Everyone just wants to know the truth, but no one thinks about the result.

Even if Dumbledore might die in the near future, what can they do?

There is nothing they can do!

I can only pray in my heart that this will not happen.

"Sure enough, you should talk to that guy. I know you must have a way to contact that guy, right!" Sirius looked at Fred and George, he was sure that with Albert's personality, he would Leave an emergency contact.

Fred and George looked at each other, shook their heads and said, "It's useless, and the time you picked was terrible."

"You should know how important this matter is." Professor McGonagall stared at Fred and George sternly.

Being stared at by a group of people, Fred and George were under a lot of pressure, and finally compromised helplessly.

"Okay, let's go back and get it, but we can't guarantee whether we can contact Albert, and we still stick to our point of view. Even if he really knows something, he won't tell us."

After speaking, Fred and George left in a hurry.

After a while, they brought a small mirror.

"This..."

Sirius was very surprised when he looked at the small mirror in his hand. He also had a double-sided mirror, but it was completely different from the one in front of him.

In fact, if Fred hadn't said it was a double-sided mirror, no one would have recognized it as a double-sided mirror.

"It was made by Albert." George explained: "We originally planned to sell it as a couple mirror to couples to connect with each other, but it is a bit difficult to manufacture. Only Albert can make this thing. That guy is now Lazy again... this project can only be temporarily shelved."

Sirius did not try to use the double-sided mirror, but gave the double-sided mirror to Professor McGonagall. Probably only Professor McGonagall will not be unlucky if he contacts the other party at this time.

"How does this thing work?" Professor McGonagall looked curiously at the mirror in his hand.

"Just call the other person's name. If he hears it, he will respond to you." George briefly said, "However, I suggest that you don't have too high expectations."

It turned out that Fred and George were right. Professor McGonagall shouted at the double-sided mirror for five minutes, but the mirror did not respond.

"This thing must be fake!" Moody cast a suspicious look at the Weasley twins.

"It's impossible. We tested it when we first got it." Fred took back the double-sided mirror and suggested, "If you really want to find him, I suggest waiting for him to talk about it after his wedding trip."

"I don't think it's useless for you to find him now. If Albert really thinks that Dumbledore will be in big trouble, he will definitely give Dumbledore some warnings in advance. After all, their relationship has always been very good. Albert will definitely not let Dumbledore get into big trouble, or even lose his life because of it." In fact, Fred and George had already contacted Albert through the double-sided mirror before they came, or the house elf Yes, I said this in advance.

The reply they received was as expected, and Albert asked them to ask Dumbledore themselves.

Both of them are not stupid. Albert's meaning is already obvious. The guess that Dumbledore is likely to die should be true, but for some reason, Albert did not tell them directly.

The two eventually did not tell the other members of the Order of the Phoenix, because it would not help.

They suddenly understood why Albert was unwilling to talk about this matter, but let them ask Dumbledore themselves.

"This matter is kept secret for the time being, don't let others know."

"Especially Snape." Sirius reminded, "If he really told Voldemort about this, maybe..."

"I think what Sirius said is very reasonable. Although Dumbledore thinks that Snape is trustworthy, everyone is mistaken." Mad-Eye Moody echoed.

Professor McGonagall hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded, "I will ask Dumbledore about it myself."

"You'd better not talk nonsense." Kingsley said to Fred and George.

"Don't worry about that, we know what to do."

…

"If you want to ask anything, just say it!"

After Albert handed over the double-sided mirror to the house elf, he turned his head to meet Isobel's gaze.

"You don't want them to know?"

"Even if you know it, you can't solve the problem."

Looking at the endless sea, Albert said calmly: "Besides, I believe that Dumbledore also has his own plan, and we'd better not disrupt his plan."

"I think this is more like an excuse for you to be lazy." Isobel pinched Albert's cheek and said, "Throw the question directly to Dumbledore."

"That's not the question I should answer." Albert shook his head. "Otherwise, how do you want me to tell them that Dumbledore will die next year and that Snape killed him?"

"Snape killed Dumbledore?" Isobel was taken aback ~IndoMTL.com~ Yes, Snape did it! "

"You told Dumbledore about this."

"Say it."

"What did he say?" Isobel asked curiously.

"He trusted Snape."

"He trusts Snape?" Isobel couldn't believe it.

"Snape is actually a double agent. Both Dumbledore and Voldemort think that Snape is theirs."

"Then Snape is from there?" Isobel asked curiously.

"Is it important?" Albert asked back, "Even if he is really Dumbledore's man, who knows if he will choose to sacrifice others to protect himself at a critical moment?"
