Daily Life at Hogwarts Chapter 1030: The leaked secret

After returning from Hagrid, Hermione went directly to Albert, but unfortunately no one was found. She learned from the Weasley brothers who were having a snowball fight outside the castle that Albert might have gone on a date.

Hermione lost sleep that night, thinking about Hagrid and the giant.

She was really worried that Hagrid would hide the giant in the Forbidden Forest, and even more worried that he would get into trouble for it.

The next day, Hermione found Albert with dark circles.

"You didn't seem to sleep well last night." Albert noticed Hermione's dark circles and reminded kindly, "Insomnia is the enemy of girls. If you can't sleep, you can try drinking some sleeping pills."

"Thank you, I have something I want to talk to you about, something very important." Hermione ignored the curious glances from Fred, George and Lee Jordan, and dragged Albert to a remote place corner.

"What's the matter?" Albert asked gently, and took out a medicine bottle from his pocket and poured a pill into Hermione's hand. "This is a potion to refresh and restore energy."

"Thank you." Hermione swallowed and said slowly, "I saw your letter to Hagrid."

Albert said nothing, letting Hermione continue.

"Hagrid is hiding something in the Forbidden Forest, right? His injuries..." Hermione's shoulders trembled slightly. "You must know what he's hiding in the Forbidden Forest, right?"

"That's Hagrid's privacy." Albert drew his wand and simply cast a spell to make sure no one could eavesdrop on the next conversation, "If he doesn't want to tell you, I won't talk to anyone else. Disclose any information."

"It's a giant, right? In addition to the possibility of fighting a giant monster, his injury is a giant, and Hagrid just went to the giant." Hermione raised her head tremblingly and looked at Albert, hoping to be denied. Answer.

"If Hagrid doesn't want to tell anyone, we as friends better pretend we don't know, lest he be embarrassed." Albert was a little surprised that Hermione had guessed the answer, and it seemed that it wasn't just Harry who was growing fast , is it because of your own butterfly flapping its wings?

"But...why did he do this, Hagrid must know how dangerous giants are?" Hermione was in a bad mood, she said in a low voice, "Hagrid's situation is bad enough now."

To be honest, Albert was a little skeptical that Hagrid knew about the dangers of giants.

"You already knew, didn't you, that's why you said in the letter that you couldn't help him." Hermione slumped against the wall in the hallway and repeated in a low voice, "You already knew that Hagrid would be fired by Toad. Right."

Albert looked at Hermione, who was somewhat broken, and did not answer her question.

"Hagrid always took it for granted." Hermione smiled bitterly. "Is it really okay?"

"When he's expelled and forced to leave Hogwarts, he'll probably, no, Hagrid will, so you just rejected him in your letter." Hermione couldn't imagine what that would be like. Happening.

The giant is a threat in itself to most wizards. Maybe it may not be malicious, but with a light touch or a pinch, it can easily kill a person.

Hermione had actually seen this tendency in Hagrid for a long time. Those giants were different from Hagrid, and they didn't even realize how vulnerable wizards were.

"It's not your fault." Albert said softly, pulling out a handkerchief and handing it to Hermione.

"But why did he make his life so difficult." Hermione choked in a low voice.

"Hagrid must have his reasons," said Albert.

"You know why?" Hermione looked at Albert.

"Those are Hagrid's private affairs, and I can't reveal other information to you." Albert said calmly, "If one day Hagrid wants to ask you for help, you can refuse him, directly refuse, even if it is There is also a limit for good friends to help each other, beyond your ability, directly rejecting is the best choice, and you don’t need to feel guilty about it, just like I also rejected directly.”

"But..."

"No but, everyone is responsible for their own actions. No one can help you for the rest of your life, not even your parents, let alone your friends." Albert's tone was flat, "Do your best to be enough. I'm worthy of this friendship."

Actually, Albert can understand Hermione's broken mentality.

Albert didn't want to make unnecessary comments on Hagrid bringing his half-brother back to take care of him, since he certainly couldn't do such a thing.

As for Hagrid's concern about his brother dying in the giant's camp, that's even more hilarious.

Hagrid may be a few years younger than No-Nose Monster, and at least he is about sixty-five years old, and his younger brother, no matter how young, can be as young as one. One has lived for dozens of years in the giant camp. How can a young man not survive?

It's the biggest joke of the century in Albert's opinion.

After appeasing Hermione, Albert went to the hall for dinner. After ignoring Fred and George's teasing, he turned his eyes to the teacher's chair. Hagrid's face was much better. However, not all students were The response to his return was enthusiastic.

At least, Umbridge looked at Hagrid coldly, and the smirk was even more hypocritical, Albert knew that Toad had long been looking for an excuse to fire Hagrid.

"Toad's eyes are not good." George said in a low voice, "Hagrid is fine."

"At least, I won't be fired before Professor Trelawney," said Albert firmly.

"Right, I almost forgot, this is for you." George took a note from his pocket and handed it to Albert.

"Professor Dumbledore was handed over to you."

Albert opened the note, glanced at the contents, and burned it to ashes.

"Every time I see it, it's incredible." Lee Jordan muttered softly, looking at the parchment that burned up in the air.

"You can also take the time to practice, maybe you can master it," Albert suggested.

"Forget it, no matter how you look at it, it's a super-difficult skill, and we haven't even mastered the silent spell." George was very self-aware.

……

That night, according to the password on the note, Albert stepped on the time to go to the appointment.

Professor Dumbledore was rarely doing anything else when he knocked on the door and was wandering around in the headmaster's office, not knowing what he was thinking.

"You don't seem very happy." Albert was keenly aware that the old man seemed to be in a bad mood.

"No, it's just that a lot has happened recently." Dumbledore sat in the armchair behind his desk and raised his hand to motion for Albert to find a place to sit.

"A lot has happened," Albert said noncommittally. "You're looking for me..."

"What you want."

Speaking, Dumbledore put a bottle of golden potion in front of Albert. This bottle of Flux is not too much, only about two days.

"Your efficiency is faster than I expected." Albert was a little surprised. Although he was brewing the elixirs, it was necessary to store some elixirs before the elixirs were successfully brewed. of.

"Get it from an old friend."

"Mr. Slughorn?" Albert guessed who Dumbledore was referring to as an old friend. "I thought he would find a place to hide because of his character."

"Horace did hide, and it took me a while to find him," Dumbledore said with a smile, not surprised by Albert's guess.

"Hiding in an unoccupied Muggle house?" Albert added.

"It seems you know?" Dumbledore raised his eyebrows slightly.

"Mr. Slughorn likes to enjoy. Muggles know how to enjoy more than wizards. With the contempt of black wizards, it is relatively safe to hide in a strange Muggle home." Albert stared at the golden potion , carefully analyzed: "How much Galleon do I need to pay."

"One hundred Galleons."

"Cheaper than I expected." Albert waved his wand and conjured a bag of Galleons out of thin air and placed it in front of Dumbledore.

"Horace asked me to tell you that he likes the Polo candied fruit you give him every year, and it would be even better if you could leave him a photo of the duel champion." Dumbledore told Albert the old man friend's words.

"I will, he will serve at Hogwarts next year." Albert deliberately revealed some information, "I would like to ask you to help me transfer it to him, anyway, you will definitely visit then. Mr. Slughorn."

"This is really surprising news." Dumbledore was a little surprised at the news that Albert revealed, but he quickly thought of the reason, where did the old friend have news he wanted to know.

"I thought you made up my mind."

"The fortune-tellers I know can't see as clearly as you." Dumbledore was very surprised at Albert's level of fortune-telling: "How much do you think it is, I think you should know what I am talking about."

"I remember we discussed this sensitive topic before." Albert put the Flux back in his pocket and said to Dumbledore, "And, don't you have a guess yourself? Which number will the character use to make the same amount of stuff."

"Surely which number is it?" Dumbledore murmured.

"You have to take the unexpected into account." Albert hesitated for a moment, but still reminded, lest Dumbledore fall into the pit.

"Accidentally, you mean..."

Dumbledore knew what Albert meant and did not discuss the matter any further. Horcruxes were a sensitive topic after all.

Only, Dumbledore was a little surprised that Albert was so clear, he seemed to think of something, and said, "I found some clues."

"I'm not interested in your holiday adventure." Albert shook his head and refused. "Maybe it will be a thrilling adventure story, but...that's not for me. If I were you, I would pay attention to safety."

"Looks like you guessed it? Where am I going to die? No, you said I would..." Dumbledore was still very calm when he talked about his own death.

"You can drink some Fuling at that time, maybe your intuition will give you some help." Albert suggested.

"You're right, although it doesn't necessarily work." Dumbledore agreed with Albert that while he was not afraid of death, no one wanted to die if possible.

"Aren't you really going to stop thinking about teaching Harry?" Dumbledore suddenly changed the subject.

"No, I don't want to be targeted by Mysterious Man, I know what you're worrying about, but it's not a pleasant thing to be followed by that guy." Albert refused outright, although he had previously received advice Harry's Occlumency task, but as far as he knew, Potter didn't learn Occlumency until the end, which means he didn't have any talent for it.

It could also be Snape's reason...

"Of course, there is another reason, I doubt that Potter can learn Occlumency." Albert said without shyness: "I have taught other people, and I know very well that Potter is a very Emotional people, who never suppress their emotions, but face them very honestly, such wizards are usually unable to suppress their memories, and the difficulty of mastering Occlumency will be more difficult than ordinary people."

If you can complete the task, that's fine. If you can't, you will not only waste a lot of time and energy, you may also be targeted by Voldemort, and you will be extremely depressed, which is a blood loss.

So Albert would rather give up this quest with a decent reward than try it lightly.

Don't look at Harry's ability to control his emotions well, it's just superficial, forced by tranquilizers, Harry Potter always carries a pill bottle with him now.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door of the principal's office. Professor McGonagall pushed open the door and walked in. After his eyes fell on Albert, a look of surprise appeared on his face. to Albert.

"Minerva, what's the matter?" Dumbledore asked gently.

"Our senior investigators have issued a new education order." Professor McGonagall refused to mention Umbridge's name, "she banned Harry and the Weasleys for life. , also took away their broomsticks."

"I see."

Dumbledore said it lightly, as if it were a trivial matter.

"There are some things that I can't do, and I heard Nick say that she seems to be planning to fire a professor in the near future." Professor McGonagall's tone was a little reproachful, "Maybe you shouldn't let Hagrid Come back here, you know she never liked Hagrid."

Dumbledore turned to look at Albert, as if asking him who had been fired.

"Obviously it's our divination professor. As for Hagrid, it's up to him to see if he can get through this difficult time." Albert was not surprised.

"She's messed up the whole school in just a few months, maybe she wants to kick you out of school," Professor McGonagall said through gritted teeth.

"I know. In fact, I've heard that I have an army at school." Dumbledore winked mischievously and said, "This news really shocked me."

Professor McGonagall didn't intend to stay any longer, so she turned and left. At least Albert was here, and she couldn't say much about some things.

"Looks like you don't care much about what's going on at school~IndoMTL.com~" Albert whispered.

"Some things are more important," said Dumbledore quietly.

"Defeat the You-Know-Who?" Albert looked at Dumbledore without waiting for him to answer, and continued, "I know you care about different things than others, but everyone cares more about things that are closely related to themselves. , such as exams, such as... Firenze is a good candidate, but it's not good news for other centaurs, it means "slaves of men", if you plan to hire Firenze..."

Albert didn't finish his sentence, he believed that Dumbledore should be able to guess what he wanted to say.

However, compared to these things, he felt that Dumbledore didn't really care too much, defeating Voldemort was the most important thing.

As for Umbridge's trick with Fudge, Dumbledore never cared, because he knew that when Voldemort was fully exposed, everything would be back to normal. There is no point in having an unnecessary conflict with Fudge now, except to waste a lot of time and energy. If he wants to be the Minister of Magic, this is a good choice, but it is a pity that Dumbledore never thought of becoming the Minister of Magic himself. Therefore, it is better to let the students of Hogwarts see what kind of people Fudge and Umbridge are.

Albert doesn't actually think that's a problem, but for many it means they're going to have a bad semester.

This century-old man is sometimes more ruthless than anyone else, and he's even ready to sacrifice to win.

As members of the Order of the Phoenix like to say: some things are worth dying for.

This is actually one of the reasons why Albert did not join the Order of the Phoenix in the end.

Is it bad to live?
