Daily Life at Hogwarts Chapter 1140: Catch the truth
Fred, George, and Lee Jordan were all stunned, apparently not thinking that Sirius would send them a message at this time and invite them to "dine" anyway.
Of course, the so-called dinner is just an excuse. Sirius obviously has something to discuss with them, or to Albert.
Other than that, they can't think of any other possibilities.
After a brief silence in the restaurant, George was the first to break the silence and complained: "He should have said it earlier, we are almost full."
"I think Sirius would like to talk about cooperation by the way."
"Are you going to come later?" Lee Jordan continued, "By the way, can Professor Lupin work overtime recently?"
"Okay, but you'd better not get your hopes up."
George and Fred quickly ate their dinner before leaving in a hurry.
"Are you so busy every day?"
"Yeah, I really owe you to help, otherwise I'd have to be even more busy." Lee Jordan looked at the back of the two leaving, and sighed: "However, I did earn a lot of Galleons, that's all. A few years, just stick with it, and you won't have to worry about Garen in the future, so you don't have to worry about Albert giving you a high salary, you deserve it."
When Fred and George hurried to 12 Grimmauld Place, they realized that the invitation to dinner at the house was an excuse.
Sirius, Lupin, 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 just got married, and he definitely doesn't want anyone to disturb his post-marriage trip." George was not too surprised by this, and asked directly: "Do you have anything to do with Albert?"
There was a brief silence in the dining room, making both 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 frowned slightly, thinking he might have guessed why.
"Dumbledore is injured. The last time I saw him, I found that his left palm seemed to be scorched by fire." Professor McGonagall's voice was full of unease, "I feel that It was a serious injury, dry and charred, like dead."
"What kind of magic do you think does that damage?" Mad-Eye Moody asked, frowning.
"No, that's not the point Moody's." Professor McGonagall said irritably. "Do you remember Albert's prophecy? The prediction that the Ministry of Magic will fall in the future."
"The Ministry of Magic doesn't look like it could collapse at any time." Kingsley shook his head. He knew the situation of the Ministry of Magic very well. Although Scrimgeour's approach was a bit messy, the Ministry of Magic was indeed much better than before. They were also more united, and Scrimgeour showed them confidence.
"There is only one possibility for the downfall of the Ministry of Magic."
In fact, several people present knew what Professor McGonagall was saying was possible.
Dumbledore is dead.
Only if Dumbledore was dead could Voldemort kill Scrimgeour unscrupulously and directly take over the Ministry of Magic.
The living room fell silent again.
Fred and George exchanged glances, apparently not expecting to be called to discuss the matter.
Actually, they had 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?" Lupin asked, puzzled.
"Maybe he thinks we don't need to know?" Sirius curled his lips, "Harry told me that Dumbledore would give him lessons this year."
"So, you thought Dumbledore was dying and decided to tell Harry?" Moody also felt the possibility was high.
Dumbledore hinted to them more than once that Harry was important.
Actually, there was such doubt and speculation as early as when Albert predicted the downfall of the Ministry of Magic. It's just that the probability of the prophecy coming true is really low. Even if the person who made the prophecy is Albert, everyone is at most dubious.
After all, no one wants to believe the absurdity of Dumbledore dying. What's more, Albert did not directly predict that Dumbledore would die, it was their own guess.
However, the fact that Dumbledore was suspected of being caught in the dark magic completely caused everyone to feel uneasy, so they tried to figure it out through Albert.
"I'm sure Anderson knows something," Professor McGonagall said firmly. "I saw them going out together on the wedding day, and I don't know what to talk about."
"Cough!" George coughed lightly, attracting 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 helplessly, "If Dumbledore doesn't want to say it, Albert probably won't tell us."
"Yes." Fred nodded in agreement: "Maybe, Albert knows a lot of things, but he seldom tells others, probably because he doesn't think it is necessary to let too many people know, or he thinks it is not appropriate to let them know now. Others know."
Fred and George had been with Albert for seven years, and knew each other's character very well. He felt that even if Professor McGonagall really asked Albert for divination, the guy would probably directly let her ask Dumbledore herself.
"You think he won't tell us?" Lupin raised an eyebrow.
"If Albert is unwilling to give us a divination, it is estimated that the result will not be very good." Sirius speculated that he knew Albert better, "One more thing, if Dumbledore is really killed , I doubt it will be Snape."
"Sirius."
Everyone frowned, and it wasn't the first time Sirius had targeted Snape.
"You can ask them if you don't believe me." Sirius pointed at Fred and George, "Don't forget, Professor at Hogwarts, it's very strange that Snape didn't receive an invitation. Don't tell me that 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." Sirius's targeting of Snape is not all because of the conflict between the two sides, but Snape Nep himself was suspicious, and he never forgot that one of the reasons for Albert's reluctance to join the Order of the Phoenix was the belief that there might be traitors in the Order. "
"Dumbledore swore that Snape was on our side." Professor McGonagall frowned. "He was sure Snape's confession was absolutely heartfelt...he also said he didn't want to hear a word. Talk bad about Snape!"
"I'm sure Albert knew that Snape was a double agent." Sirius tapped his fingers on the table, "and he obviously felt that Snape couldn't be trusted..."
"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 the Order was unreliable and full of loopholes. "
"It's useless for us to guess here." Moody didn't really trust Snape. "The best way would be to talk to Dumbledore directly, but I don't think it's very likely that he'll tell us, Then looking for Albert's prophecy is the best choice at present."
Although Moody doesn't believe much in divination, it turns out that Albert's authority in the field of prophecy, as Sirius said, no matter what the outcome, it's always good for Albert to make a prediction.
"What if our guess is true?" Lupin asked suddenly.
The living room fell into an eerie silence again.
Everyone just wants to know the truth, but no one thinks about the outcome.
Even if Dumbledore was really likely to die in the near future, what could they do?
There's nothing they can do!
I can only pray in my heart that this doesn't happen.
"Sure enough, you should still talk to that guy. I know you guys must have a way to get in touch with that guy, right!" Sirius looked at Fred and George, and he was sure that, with Albert's character, he would Leave the emergency contact information.
Fred and George looked at each other, shook their heads and said, "It's useless, and your timing is terrible."
"You should know how important this is." Professor McGonagall stared sternly at Fred and George.
Being stared at by a group of people, Fred and George were under a lot of pressure and finally reluctantly compromised.
"Okay, we'll go back and get it, but we can't guarantee whether we can get in touch with Albert, and we still stand by our opinions, and even if he really knows something, he won't tell us."
With that, Fred and George left in a hurry.
After a while, they brought a small mirror.
"This..."
Sirius was very surprised to see the small mirror in his hand. He also had a double-sided mirror, but it was completely different from the thing in front of him.
In fact, no one would have recognized it as a double-sided mirror if Fred hadn't said it was a double-sided mirror.
"Albert made it." George explained: "We originally planned to sell it as a couple mirror for couples to connect with each other, but it was a bit difficult to make. Only Albert can make this thing, that guy is now I'm lazy again... This project can only be put on hold for the time being."
Sirius did not try to use the double-sided mirror, but gave the double-sided mirror to Professor McGonagall, probably only if Professor McGonagall contacted the other party at this point in time without bad luck.
"How does this thing work?" Professor McGonagall looked curiously at the mirror in his hands.
"Just call the other party's name. If he hears it, he will respond to you." George briefly explained the usage. "However, I suggest that you do not have high expectations."
It turns out that Fred and George were right, Professor McGonagall yelled at the double-sided mirror for five minutes, but the mirror didn't respond.
"This thing can't 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 are really looking for him, I suggest waiting for his post-wedding trip to finish."
"I think it's useless for you to find him now. If Albert really thinks Dumbledore will be in big trouble, he will definitely remind Dumbledore in advance. After all, their relationship has always been very good. Albert definitely won't watch Dumbledore get into big trouble, or even lose his life." Before Fred and George actually came, they had already contacted Albert through the double-sided mirror, or the house elf. Yes, said this in advance.
The response they got was as expected, and Albert asked them to ask Dumbledore themselves.
Neither of them are idiots. Albert's meaning is already obvious. The speculation that Dumbledore is likely to die should be true, but for some reason, Albert didn't tell them directly.
The two ultimately did not tell the other members of the Order of the Phoenix about it, because it would not help.
They suddenly kind of understood why Albert didn't want to talk about it, and left them to ask Dumbledore themselves.
"This matter is kept under wraps for the time being. Don't let anyone else know about it."
"Especially Snape," Sirius reminded. "If he really told Voldemort about it, maybe..."
"I think Sirius makes a lot of sense. Although Dumbledore thinks Snape is worth believing, everyone has time to look at him." Mad-Eye Moody echoed.
Professor McGonagall hesitated for a moment~IndoMTL.com~ and finally nodded, "I'll ask Dumbledore myself about this."
"You better not talk nonsense," Kingsley said to Fred and George.
"Don't worry about that, we know what to do."
……
"What do you want to ask, just say it!"
After Albert handed 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 I knew, it wouldn't solve the problem."
Looking at the endless sea, Albert said calmly: "Also, I believe Dumbledore has his own plans, and we'd better not disrupt his plans."
"I think it's more of an excuse for wanting to be lazy." Isobel pinched Albert's cheek and said, "Just throw the problem at 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.
"Yeah, Snape did it!"
"You told Dumbledore about this."
"Said."
"What did he say?" Isobel asked curiously.
"He believed in Snape."
"He believed in Snape?" Isobel couldn't believe it.
"Snape was actually a double agent, both Dumbledore and Voldemort thought Snape was theirs."
"Where is Snape from over there?" Isobel asked curiously.
"Is it important?" Albert asked rhetorically, "Even if he really belongs to Dumbledore, who knows if he will choose to sacrifice others to protect himself at a critical moment?"
