Chapter 1053: old riddle man
The next day, Umbridge's encounter at Hogwarts made the headlines of the Daily Prophet, and the "heavyweight" news even overwhelmed the Ministry of Magic's latest report on the progress of the escaped Death Eater hunt.
"...the Ministry of Magic has the nerve to blame Dumbledore for this."
As soon as the four Albert took their seats at the Gryffindor long table, they heard Angelina and Arya on the opposite side of the long table talking about the news in the newspaper.
"Are you disappointed that Peeves didn't directly knock the toad to death?" Albert smiled and took the "Daily Prophet" from Angelina, spread it out on the table, and read the headlines on it. news.
"It's really a pity, I really hope it drives the toad away."
"Then you may be disappointed."
"How long do you think Toad will stay in St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Injuries and Injuries." George was not in a good mood. If last night's incident hadn't happened, he might have turned Umbridge into a toad another day, Hogg Watts will also usher in a long period of peace.
It's a pity that they didn't do it on the day the toad was just discharged from the hospital.
"This matter is not over yet, and I'm afraid it will be even more tragic in the future." Albert knew that the incident last night interrupted the arrangement of several people, but sometimes things may not always go as planned.
"We'd better hurry up and get some supplies for Peeves." Fred said in a low voice, "When Umbridge returns to school..."
"They want to force the headmaster to abdicate, and Fudge thinks they want Umbridge to be the new headmaster of Hogwarts." Albert reached out and tapped on the second edition, which included an interview with Lucius Malfoy. .
"I don't think it's enough for Toad to be the principal." Angelina saw the famous scene of how Peeves taught Umbridge a lesson.
"Don't forget, Professor Trelawney's prophecy," Shanna reminded.
Since the Christmas break, many students have forgotten the few Umbridge prophecies that Professor Trelawney left behind before he was expelled.
"I really don't know what they were thinking."
"You said we could get Umbridge out of Hogwarts through Peeves." Angelina also wanted Umbridge to get out of school so that he wouldn't have to worry about the players.
"The possibility is not high, it's best not to expect Peeves for this kind of thing." Albert was surprised that Angelina would have such a naive idea.
"Then what?"
People all looked at Albert, waiting for him to come up with a solution to the problem.
"It's actually quite easy to get Umbridge out of the way, just turn her into an idiot. Well, it just requires a strong oblivion spell. Or, your stinky ways to make Umri Qi no longer has the face to stay in the school, but it may give the school a bad reputation and make it difficult to recruit new professors in Defense Against the Dark Arts." Albert actually does not recommend doing that, at least not now, "Dumbledore certainly wouldn't allow this to happen."
"Then what?"
"We can put a little more pressure on them so that Fudge and Umbridge don't always like to gossip and smear people in the papers."
"We also publish articles?"
George seemed to have guessed Albert's plan, and he had to admire the sharp words. The previous "secret behind the lie" was all Albert's handwriting, at least the idea must have come out of him.
Only he can accurately hit Fudge's key points.
"You can go to Hermione and ask someone she knows to help write an article about the big conspiracy of the Ministry of Magic, Fudge and Umbridge, and bring out the bad things Umbridge did at Hogwarts. Let me talk about it, so that everyone can understand how Umbridge and the Ministry of Magic took this opportunity to win the position of Headmaster of Hogwarts. How did they help the Death Eaters gradually control Hogwarts and put this place here It's become a **** for the students." Albert was already planning to have a book published for them.
Of course, it is not him who is responsible for writing the manuscript, he is only responsible for providing some ideas, some materials and some Galleons.
"The Death Eaters are trying to control Hogwarts?"
"When did Umbridge..."
Several people were a little confused when they heard this, and obviously did not understand the meaning of Albert's words.
"Umbridge once set up a special operations investigation team at Hogwarts." Albert reminded directly after noticing the confusion on other people's faces.
"You mean they..."
"If you are particularly concerned, you can count how many of their family members and relatives are on the Death Eater blacklist named by Harry." Albert closed the newspaper and took a piece of bread and spread jam on it , continued, "Apart from Malfoy and his two henchmen, how many?"
"But…"
"I know that the son of a blacksmith is a blacksmith, and the son of a Death Eater is a Death Eater. It's a bit too much, but..." Albert asked Fred and George, "Will you join Dumbledore after graduation? Order of the Phoenix?"
"Of course." George said suddenly.
"That's it, then why do you think they won't join, just because they don't have the Dark Mark on their arms?" Albert asked rhetorically: "As far as I know, in the last wizard war, many Slytherin students Soon after graduating, he became a servant of You-Know-Who, and became a glorious Death Eater, including... you all know. If this wizarding war dragged on for more than a dozen years, how many Death Eaters do you think will emerge? ?"
"Now you just need to sort out your thoughts, and then hand them over to Hermione's, and give her some Galleons as a pen fee, and I think she'll be very willing to help summarize them. Then, we can put them together Turned into a magazine, or a short story, I think the entire wizarding world needs to explain, especially the Ministry of Magic to give a sense of deliberately indulging the Death Eaters escape."
Thinking about it makes this intriguing.
The Ministry of Magic not only ignored the reminders and let the Death Eaters escape from prison, but also did not actively hunt them down, as if only a few stray dogs had escaped, and it was not worth the high cost to recover them.
"Will Sirius be published?"
"No, Defense Letters is now closely watched by the Ministry of Magic and could put this article in The Quibbler."
"Not many people will watch the 'The Quibbler' thing."
"It's more appropriate because no one takes The Quibbler seriously, and I don't think the Ministry of Magic will pay attention, at least when they do, they won't have time to react." Albert's goal Be Hogwarts students, and then through the students to influence their parents.
"And, for everyone, it's just hilarious guesswork, and it's a good fit on The Quibbler."
"Will the other party agree?" Fred asked suspiciously.
"I think Mr. Lovegood would be willing to set aside an issue of the magazine to accommodate this article." Albert told everyone not to worry.
Hearing this surname, many people guessed what was going on, at least Lee Jordan was the first to think of the reason.
"Anyway, Valentine's Day is coming, and I'm just going to Hogsmeade Village. Let's meet there, so you have to work harder." Go to the Rune classroom.
"You said that Albert's speculations just now were all true, right?"
Looking at the back of Albert leaving, George's expression suddenly became very strange. According to what he knew about Albert, that guy likes to tell the truth, at least the truth is more and less false, and it is worth thinking about the connection between these things he just said and his identity as a fortune teller.
Fred's and Lee Jordan's expressions also became quite wonderful, as they found that what George was saying was so true.
A mix of truth and falsehood, making people unable to tell which sentence is true and which is a lie, has always been Albert's bad taste.
"Umbridge's refuge with You-Know-Who?"
Fred thought it was entirely possible that the toad was already evil enough to be a Death Eater.
"No, I'm actually more worried that after Albert suggested the fall of the Ministry of Magic, Hogwarts would eventually be controlled by the mysterious man, and Umbridge would become the headmaster of Hogwarts." George looked at Albert The back of the leaving, I regret not asking directly.
"If that's the case, it's a nightmare for the other students," Lee Jordan muttered.
With that, he got up and went to the Ravenclaw long table to find Luna, talking about publishing an article in The Quibbler.
And Fred and George went to Harry and Hermione to discuss how to use the article to concoct Umbridge.
When Harry heard that he was going to deal with Umbridge, he agreed in one breath.
Hermione also said that she would write to Rita Skeeter and ask him to meet in Hogsmeade.
"I care more about the significance of Albert's publication of this article than this matter." Hermione frowned and said, "His articles have some unique meanings, but you think this may be another Anderson's. prophecy?"
Ron felt that Hermione was simply overthinking.
"If you really have any doubts about this, you can ask him directly!"
"I don't think it's strange at all for Umbridge to turn to You-Know-Who, don't forget the prophecy of the end of Toad." Harry stared at the back of his hand and said softly, "I'm more worried that after the fall of the Ministry of Magic, Hogwarts will also fall with it. and Umbridge will be the new headmaster of Hogwarts, but... Dumbledore shouldn't allow that to happen."
