Daily Life at Hogwarts Chapter 1056: Truth and Lies

It was raining non-stop outside, and Albert held up the umbrella that Isobel handed over and walked into the street washed by the rain.

Hogsmeade looked very deserted under the rain curtain. There was no Valentine's Day atmosphere at all. Pedestrians on the street came and went in a hurry, and there were no students at all.

Albert stopped for a moment in front of the Death Eater's wanted notice. The price on the wanted notice was the same as Sirius's previous wanted notice. If anyone can provide clues to the fugitive, he can also get a reward of one thousand Galleons. .

However, how credible is this wanted warrant?

The credibility of the Ministry of Magic is now horribly low.

However, it seems like a good idea to poke out Voldemort's lair and get someone from the Ministry of Magic to help.

The icy raindrops hit the umbrella and splashed onto Albert's boots, and he stopped stopping, pattering toward the Three Broomsticks bar.

Because of the rain outside, the Three Broomsticks bar is more lively than ever, and when Albert's eyes swept across the bar, he sees Lee Jordan waving at him.

"You came a lot sooner than I expected!" Lee Jordan moved aside to make room for Albert to sit.

"Where are you talking!" Albert asked straight to the point.

"It's almost there." Lee Jordan looked at the reporter in front of him, indicating that he could ask any questions he had.

"Cough!"

Rita Skeeter coughed lightly and put down the parchment.

"Speak directly." Albert didn't intend to detour, that would be boring.

"You can't expect me to write for nothing, at least for this price." Rita Skeeter spread her palm towards Albert, she knew that the guy in front of her was not short of money, "and, This thing can't use my attribution."

"You're actually afraid, too. I thought you weren't afraid of that. After all, you've been a lot of trouble with the Ministry of Magic before." Albert looked at Rita Skeeter, who was no longer glamorous, and chuckled. , he turned to look at Luna and asked, "It should be fine without a signature!"

"No problem." Luna fiddled with the small paper umbrella on the cup, humming Weasley is our king: "However, many people are willing to contribute to "The Quibbler" just to make their own The article appeared in the magazine."

"I can only give you this price." Albert stretched out two fingers: "I can give you half of the payment first."

As he spoke, Lee Jordan took a small bag of Galleons from his pocket and placed it in front of Rita Skeeter.

"To be honest, there's no market for this kind of article, and it's on The Quibbler. Do you think people will take it seriously? I think you know better than anyone." Rita Skeeter I really don't want to get involved with the mysterious person, even if I don't use my brain, I know that this is a very dangerous thing.

"Anyway, you're going to publish in..." Rita Skeeter was interrupted before she could finish her sentence.

"That's not your concern." Albert took a sip of butterbeer without any hesitation.

Mainly on The Quibbler, of course, and Defense Express is used to attract the attention of the Ministry of Magic, otherwise, after this shocking article was published, no one would take the thunder in front, even if Even "The Quibbler" has to be finished.

"Okay, deal. They're really unlucky." Rita grumbled, picking up the purse and stuffing it into her purse, knowing that if she didn't agree, she would probably be wiped out of her memory.

"Tell me about your thoughts." Albert made a gesture of invitation.

Rita Skeeter took out her notebook and told Albert about her writing ideas. Start with last year's Triwizard Tournament and recount the whole thing, adding in parts of Harry's report last time, and Fudge's report, plus what Umbridge did at Hogwarts , linked to the Azkaban escape.

And, of course, Albert's predictions for the future.

With the abilities of Rita Skeeter, it is not difficult to put together an essay, she has done this a lot in the past and can now write it in more detail.

"You missed one thing, the Spanish incident last summer." Albert reminded, "At that time, Fudge insisted that Goyle and Crabbe were not Death Eaters."

Somehow, Rita Skeeter, after careful analysis, gave him the feeling that Fudge might actually have a connection to the Death Eaters.

“You don’t need to directly affirm something, but use the tone of analysis and speculation to put the evidence in front of everyone and let everyone make their own judgments.” Albert added Rita Ski Something missing.

He is very clear that they may not believe what other people say, but what he sees, analyzes, and determines that he will be convinced 80% of the time.

"I bet the whole Ministry of Magic would have to explode if this article got out," whispered Rita Skeeter. "Do you have a grudge against Fudge?"

"You don't know very well? Fudge has caused me some trouble before, and you can think of it as a small counterattack. Of course, these don't need to be written on it." Albert took a sip of butterbeer, faintly said.

"Are you sure it's just a little?"

Rita Skeeter suspects that Fudge might actually be ousted this summer if this article ever gets out.

Rita Skeeter, of course, has also heard the prophecy of Fudge's impending ouster.

Well, I don't know how she would feel if she knew that the culprit of the prophecy was sitting in front of her.

The two chatted for about half an hour, and after thoroughly perfecting the structure and content of the article, Rita Skeeter got up and prepared to leave. Before leaving, she did not forget to remind: "Absolutely, absolutely cannot use My name is famous."

There is no way, she is also worried that Albert will dig a hole for herself, and she will really be finished by then. Just look at the unlucky Fudge and know that that kind of dark-hearted guy really can't be messed with.

After Rita Skeeter leaves, Albert moves his gaze to Luna.

"How are you preparing now?"

"How about what?" Luna was a little puzzled, obviously not understanding the meaning of Albert's words for a while.

"The Wizarding Card Club thing," Albert explained.

"It's okay." Luna said suddenly.

"We're running out of time, we'll be graduating at the end of June this year, and then you'll be on your own. If you don't think you can inherit the Wizarding Club, I'll just hand it over to Hermione for the time being. Granger." After Albert finished speaking, he looked at Lee Jordan and said: "You have to hurry up, I have a hunch that Fred and George will leave Hogwarts early, and the time may not be far away. ."

"Do they really want to leave school early?" Lee Jordan muttered, "There are only a few months left until graduation. Damn, it's really enviable."

"Didn't you expect it earlier?" Albert looked at Luna again and said, "Do you have any other questions? If you have any, you can ask them now, and we'll answer them for you. If not, I'll do it first. Gone."

"This..." Luna took a note from her pocket and said, "There are a few questions."

……

After Valentine's Day, Albert's mood has obviously improved a lot. It may be that he has just spent Valentine's Day with Isobel, or it may be that the Fuling Potion that has been waiting for half a year is finally ready. , or perhaps the predicted future did not deviate too much, Fred and George still rode away on broomsticks, and Dumbledore was also expelled from the position of headmaster of Hogwarts.

The known future may be less interesting, but at least it's better to be safe, better tracked, and under control.

Before You-Know-Who is defeated by Harry Potter, it is not a good choice to completely turn the plot aside and let the situation completely break free from Albert's grasp.

Albert never wanted to be a savior, hated being a savior, and didn't want to end up picking up the slack. If possible, he didn't want to fight Voldemort at all, even if he could finally defeat Voldemort and gain a lot of experience from it, it would be a losing business.

In the past, there was really no way. If you don't fight, you can only be a salted fish. What's more, the plug-in is in front of you. If you work harder, you will be the winner in life. Why don't you work hard?

It's different now. He has money, a family, a business, a wife, a successful career, and a proper winner in life. Why would he take great risks to fight a big devil like Voldemort? Winning is also a loss.

Albert deeply admires Dumbledore, although they occasionally disagree on certain matters.

Not long after Valentine's Day, Hermione visited him frequently, each time he hesitated.

She apparently noticed a problem with the prophecy.

Actually, anyone who has a brain and believes in the prophecy can find the answer in the prophecy, and Hermione is undoubtedly the best among them.

"In the near future, Dumbledore may die."

Looking at the trio of saviours who finally came to inquire about him, Albert calmly stated this cruel truth.

"Who did it?" Harry asked in a shaky voice after a moment of silence. It was really difficult for him to accept such an answer.

"I see the Dark Mark," said Albert calmly.

"How is this possible!" Ron was obviously unwilling to believe this cruel fact.

"This matter must be different from what we thought. I don't believe that Dumbledore will die at the hands of the Death Eaters. Even the You-Know-Who can't do anything about Dumbledore." Hermione analyzed calmly. , "There may be something going on in it that we don't know about."

"Don't worry, the future is just the future, it hasn't happened yet, it's just predicted, it can still be forcibly reversed." Albert opened his mouth to appease the emotions of the three, "I have already told Dumble the results of the prophecy. Lido, I think if Dumbledore doesn't want to die, there must be a way to avoid the fatal danger that may appear in the future and reverse his own destiny, so you don't need to worry about it."

"Is such a thing really possible?" Hermione asked in surprise. Not only her, but even Harry and Ron, who had been stunned by the news of Dumbledore's death, were dumbfounded.

"What am I lying to you for?" Albert asked rhetorically.

"But..."

"As one of the most powerful wizards in the world, Dumbledore is completely capable. As long as he is willing and knows the danger in advance, it is not difficult to avoid danger and change his future." Albert explained, "Even a time-turner, after paying a huge price, may still reverse the outcome of the future to a certain extent, let alone something more uncertain such as divination."

"But, your predictions are accurate every time." Ron stammered.

"That's because I never interfered on purpose, and those things aren't worth my time to interfere." Albert guessed what they were thinking.

"Is there still a time-turner that can really do that?" Hermione was equally confused, because this was not the same as what she had learned.

"Yes, but there are risks," Albert said to Hermione. "Professor McGonagall said that because she didn't want anyone to do it. Most people will only make things worse, and..."

"I'll give you an example, Potter killed Weasley in a duel. Then, Hermione, you go back in time, use a stun spell to sneak up on Potter and Weasley, put them in a coma, and successfully stop that In a duel, it may turn into someone sneaking up on Harry and Weasley in the future, instead of Potter killing Weasley in the duel, and only you know."

"Can't you just change your name?" Harry couldn't help but grumble, but he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and to be honest, he was quite frightened when he learned that Dumbledore might die in the future.

However, he breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Albert say that Dumbledore also knew about it and had a way to change the future.

The future hasn't happened yet.

Can be changed.

Actually, Albert is also very curious, where will the future be led in the story of Dumbledore's death?

He actually didn't really want Dumbledore to die like this, after all, there was a tall man on the ground when the sky fell, and he didn't need to play in person.

Unfortunately, although he comforted the three of Harry like that, who knows what will happen in the future~IndoMTL.com~?

"By the way, there's one more thing, I still don't understand what Umbridge wants to do?" Harry asked the previous question after putting aside the Dumbledore thing.

"What does Umbridge want to do?" Albert repeated.

"Yeah, what does she want to do," Harry continued.

"Fire you, drive out Dumbledore, and become the new headmaster of Hogwarts."

"But, what excuse is she going to use? The Defense Association?" Hermione asked in confusion

"You have to remember that they are the rule makers, they say what they say, say you are breaking the laws of the Ministry of Magic, you are breaking the laws of the Ministry of Magic, and you have to understand that within the rules they make, you can never is their opponent."

The three of them opened their mouths slightly. Albert's words had a big impact on them. Is that really true?

"Your opponent was never one to play by the rules, or Umbridge and Fudge would not have come up with a bunch of educational orders to try and disenfranchise Dumbledore. As lawmakers, they are always on top, Using these frameworks to bind and restrict others, perhaps the law is intended to have a good side. When the judiciary is corrupt and used for evil, the harm done is greater than anything else.”

Albert looked at the silent three people and continued: "In the Muggle world, the collapse of a country usually begins with the rule of law and justice, and other aspects will soon be infected. It's a mess."

"Even if I don't say it, you can see the danger. When the government has a credit crisis, it's not far from the end, and the Ministry of Magic has this problem, which is why I say Fudge's The next one will be the unlucky one because he can't pick up the slack, not even Dumbledore."
