Study Days at Hogwarts

Being tormented every three days, fooling around every five days, and causing the entire Hogwarts school to be in a state of panic, no matter how good-tempered Umbridge was, she would definitely not be able to bear it, let alone Umbridge herself. He's not a good-tempered person.

The changes that Fred and George brought to Hogwarts were simply unbearable for Umbridge, who had a strong desire for control.

However, after a long time, after the novelty wears off, competing with Umbridge becomes a bit boring, especially for the Weasley brothers who just want to go to the joke shop in Diagon Alley. . Now that the two have completely opened up the market in Hogwarts, they just want to open a store to fulfill their dreams.

As for Umbridge, the toad, she has nothing to do with them after she leaves school.

After completing a new round of resistance, when they were taken back to the common room by Lee Jordan, the two discussed talking to Albert about leaving school and opening a store in Diagon Alley.

"I'm afraid you have to wait!" Albert said, covering his yawn.

"But does it really make sense to continue doing this?" George asked his doubts. If Albert really wanted Umbridge to get out of Hogwarts, if not a hundred ways, he would definitely be able to come up with ten. Use the above method instead of hanging it like now, just like teasing a cat with a cat teasing stick. No, perhaps it would be more appropriate to say poking a toad with a stick.

In fact, no matter whether it is Fred, George or Lee Jordan, they don't understand why Albert asked them to fight against Umbridge. After living with Albert for so many years, their thinking patterns are already more mature than other wizards. Naturally, they didn't think that what they were doing now would cause much trouble to Umbridge. At most, it would make the toad feel disgusted.

But does that really make sense?

It would be better to defeat Umbridge in one go!

"At least, everyone must have the courage to resist Umbridge." Albert knew their doubts and said softly, "This is a relatively long process."

"I don't think that's the reason," Fred muttered.

"Maybe, this is only part of it." George raised his eyebrows.

"You should make things clear," Lee Jordan agreed.

"You really want to know?" Albert asked with a serious expression, "The truth may be far crueler than you think. Do you really want to know, are you really prepared?"

Fred, George and Lee Jordan looked at each other, realizing that things might not be as simple as they thought.

"Say, we're ready."

"We've come of age."

"We...well, at least we won't back down."

"Life at Hogwarts is too comfortable. A comfortable college life is actually a good thing in a peaceful era, but in the coming turbulent era, this is a very bad thing. Comfort will erase a lot of things. It makes people vulnerable." Albert picked up the wand next to the pillow, flicked it, and locked the dormitory door to ensure that no one was eavesdropping, although he didn't think anyone would come and eavesdrop at this time. .

The three of them said nothing and continued to listen.

Albert waved his wand again, and four cups of steaming tea appeared out of thin air. He picked up one cup, took a sip, and then continued: "And Umbridge's appearance is just a reminder to everyone." , but these alone are far from enough.”

"So, you repeatedly tortured Umbridge and used her as a tool, hoping that everyone would wake up?"

Just think about all the trouble Umbridge encountered when she came to Hogwarts...

This guy is really bad.

"It's not a toss-up."

Albert took another sip of tea to clear his mind, "I just think there is no harm in letting everyone experience Umbridge's cruelty for themselves, at least it can clear some people's minds."

"If Umbridge hears this, she will come and fight you." Fred couldn't help but complain.

"She turned into what she is now..."

"It has nothing to do with me. It's part of her character. That's the kind of person Umbridge is." Albert shook his head to deny this. After he drank the cup of tea, he refilled himself with another cup and continued. : "Most of what you are doing now should actually be done by Harry Potter, but he is not suitable now, and he will have other things next, so I can only use 'pulling people on board' It’s up to you to do it.”

"I think you're quite suitable." George said, although they all wanted to complain about Albert's so-called 'pulling people on board'.

If anyone at Hogwarts has more appeal, it is definitely Albert.

"I'm not suitable." Albert shook his head and explained, "At least it's not suitable now. Harry is the savior. These reputations are very important to him, at least to those who believe that he is the savior, and I don't need these. Fame, I dare say I’m famous enough now.”

"You actually believe this." The three of them all showed surprised expressions. They even thought that with Albert's character, he didn't believe in the so-called savior at all.

"A long time ago...about ten years ago, there was a prophecy, a prophecy about a mysterious man being defeated." Albert said suddenly.

"There is such a thing." The three of them were very surprised.

"Otherwise, how do you think Harry Potter's title of savior came about?" Albert asked, "Because Harry Potter defeated You-Know-Who? No, it was because of the prophecy that when Harry 'defeated' Mysterious Man Only after his death did he receive the title of savior.”

"Do you know what's in the prophecy?" George seemed to realize what Albert was going to say next.

"Almost no one knows the true content of the prophecy. Maybe Dumbledore knows, but I can probably guess who made the prophecy." Albert noticed the doubtful looks cast by the three people, "After all, the famous person in the whole world There aren’t many prophets, and the circle is too narrow.”

"Is it related to the prophecy?" George suddenly asked.

"What?" Neither of the other two people responded.

"Yes, the prophecy ball recording the prophecy is now kept in the Department of Mysteries of the Ministry of Magic. This should be what the mysterious man wants. He probably wants to find out whether Harry Potter is the legendary savior. A strange expression appeared on Albert's face, "Because You-Know-Who is always messing with Harry Potter. At You-Know-Who's level, squeezing Harry Potter to death is as easy as squeezing a bug to death." , and he actually failed one after another, which made him doubt his life, so he wanted to find out the content of the prophecy. "

"As for the evidence, the place where your father was bitten by the poisonous snake must be in the corridor of the Department of Mysteries. Harry always said that he often has nightmares, so I can confirm this."

"So, Harry is really the savior?"

"Even if Harry is not, he must be." Albert put down his tea cup and said seriously: "This actually has nothing to do with whether he is the savior. The so-called savior is more of a trick to deceive people."

"What's the meaning?"

The three of them were a little confused. Didn't they just say they were the savior?

"The hatred between the two sides is too great. Whether it is the enemy who killed his father or other hatred, it is impossible to eliminate it. Therefore, Harry Potter and the mysterious man must have a battle to determine the life and death of both parties." Albert said to the three People say: "If Harry Potter wins, he will be the true savior. If he loses, he will become a victim of the mysterious man's rule over the British wizarding world."

All three fell silent, because they all realized that the probability of Harry defeating the mysterious man was very low and almost impossible.

"Actually, you don't have to worry too much. Although Harry's abilities are not as good as those of the mysterious man, he can always escape from death like the protagonist in the novel, constantly overcoming various difficulties and defeating the enemy. So I am very optimistic about Harry Potter. Te can finally defeat the mysterious man." Albert smiled and comforted, "At least you have to believe in my vision."

"I think you are more like the protagonist in a novel." Fred couldn't help but complain.

"I also hope that I can have the invincible luck of the protagonist." Albert shook his head. "That way, I can face the next dilemma more easily."

"Is it bad?"

"It may be worse than last time." Albert explained softly: "Now, the mysterious man has gathered most of the dark power. Werewolves, giants, vampires and other dark creatures that have always been disliked by the Ministry of Magic will be willing to Join, there are too few werewolves who can maintain their true nature like Lupine."

"There is no shortage of dark wizards in the wizarding world, and there are a lot of them in Knockturn Alley. Believe me, most of them will be willing to follow the mysterious man to get benefits.

"As for the Ministry of Magic, to be honest, I am not very optimistic about it. The current Ministry of Magic has been messed up by Fudge. It has completely caused the vast majority of British wizards to lose confidence in the Ministry of Magic. It has also left Fudge's heirs in a mess. This is considered a mess for Britain. It's an old tradition, whether it's wizards or Muggles." Albert spoke of the Ministry of Magic with concealed disgust in his tone, "In addition, what Umbridge did at Hogwarts Because, most students instinctively reject the Ministry of Magic. How many people do you think are still willing to believe in the Ministry of Magic? "

"I dare say that You-Know-Who and the Death Eaters have already infiltrated the Ministry of Magic into a sieve. When the time is completely ripe, You-Know-Who will definitely find an opportunity to make Fudge's successor disappear, and then put the puppet controlled by the Imperius Curse up. After all, he is even more the Minister of Magic than the Minister of Magic." Albert looked at the three people with stiff expressions and continued, "In other words, the Ministry of Magic will fight against Harry when the time comes, and even wizards who know the situation will I will choose to remain neutral, wait for the final result, and then stand with the winner.”

"As for the dementors in Azkaban, they have probably already agreed with Voldemort on the price of betraying the Ministry of Magic."

"But... if it really turns out to be like that, what should we do?" The three of them were all a little panicked, because the prospect described by Albert was really bad, and almost everyone was on the opposite side of them.

"Dumbledore will definitely stop..."

"I'm afraid you have to ask him personally. To be honest, I'm not optimistic. The members of the Order of the Phoenix will definitely become the key targets of the mysterious man and the Death Eaters." Albert said softly, "If the situation is worse, If anything, after You-Know-Who takes control of the Ministry of Magic, his minions will take control of Hogwarts, Snape or Umbridge will become the new headmaster, and Harry and Dumbledore will become wanted criminals, oh, Dumbledore Bledo is now a wanted man. Of course, it could be... worse."

"Stop talking, your words are terrifying." George interrupted directly, but he still couldn't stop Albert from continuing.

"Harry is destined to not get much help. From Dumbledore's situation last year, you should be able to guess the difficulties he may encounter next." Albert's voice was very soft: "Everyone is already frightened. , they are all scared to death, how can they have the courage to stand up and resist? "

"It's not difficult to see this from the last Wizarding War. Few people dared to stand up against the mysterious man. Almost all those who had the courage were in the Order of the Phoenix. Many people chose to hide or remain anonymous, even if a war did break out. , most wizards will only remain neutral to protect themselves, and then pray in their hearts that the savior can defeat the mysterious man and save them."

"The worst thing is that Harry Potter doesn't have the same influence as Dumbledore, and he doesn't have the power of Dumbledore."

"Especially when the situation is almost one-sided, his situation will only get worse."

"That's why I said before that DA is very important. At least half of DA members will fight for Harry Potter and themselves at the most critical moment."

"So, we need to at least give them the courage to stand up and fight. If they don't have the strength, we can teach them, but if they don't even have the courage, then they're basically doomed."

"War never belongs to anyone. Even if Harry Potter is really the savior, he cannot defeat the mysterious man and his minions alone. What we should do is at least not let Harry fight alone."

"What about you?" George asked curiously, "Why do you do this?"

"Because I am also on the mysterious man's blacklist." Albert said helplessly, "If I don't want my friends and family to be harmed, I naturally have to find a way to kill the mysterious man. I don't want to live in hiding XZ life."

"Maybe the mysterious man's biggest mistake in his life is that he regards you as his enemy." Lee Jordan couldn't help but complain.

"What I want to tell you now is that your situation is also very bad." Albert ignored Lee Jordan's words and said to Fred and George, "Nearly all your family members have joined the Order of the Phoenix, right?"

Fred and George were silent for a moment, because Albert was right, almost all of their family had joined the Order of the Phoenix.

"Have you ever thought about what will happen to your family once the mysterious man wins?" Albert turned his attention to Lee Jordan before Fred and George could speak, "What about you? Do you plan to join the Order of the Phoenix in the future? ?"

"this……"

"Peter Pettigrew was also Lupin's friend before. They joined the Order of the Phoenix together. In the end, Voldemort used Peter's mother to threaten him into becoming a traitor."

"And you are my friends. I am on the mysterious man's blacklist. Do you understand what I mean?" Albert raised his hand to interrupt a few people and continued: "This war is never what you think." It's as simple as that, especially for us unlucky ones who have fallen into it. If you don't want to struggle alone, it's best to prepare in advance, get more people on board, and unite them. Now you understand why I want you to continue in school. Are you struggling?"

"You want to convert those students who hate Umbridge into people on our side?" All three of them understood Albert's intention.

"Yes, that's probably it." Albert nodded.

"As for you guys who want to make fun of the store, you don't have to worry if you want to make money."

"In the era of chaos, the field of Defense Against the Dark Arts is the most profitable, and that is the real cash cow. I remember mentioning this to you a long time ago." Albert said softly: "And I have prepared Okay, so you don’t need to worry, the joke shop will have it, and Galleon will have it too.”

"Before that, winning the next Wizarding War is more important. I don't think anyone wants to live in a world ruled by mysterious people and live a life of fear all day long."

"Tonight, don't spread the word. The members of the Order of the Phoenix are not as reliable as you think. Some things can only be kept secret enough to ensure the safety of everyone without being specifically targeted. It is enough to have the Order of the Phoenix in front to attract firepower. .”

You may have to ask for leave in advance, there will be no update tomorrow.
