Study Days at Hogwarts

"...It has been determined that a tragic melee took place in Hogsmeade last night. According to witnesses, many houses were severely damaged.

Hogwarts Peeves also revealed to us that a large number of Aurors from the Ministry of Magic appeared at Hogwarts yesterday, led by McNeil, Director of the Auror Office of the Ministry of Magic who likes to chop people's heads off...

To be honest, the Death Eaters were more prepared than expected, and they hoped that the charming group of foreign dark wizards occupying Hogsmeade would be okay. "

"We haven't received any further information yet... Oh, it's coming, it's coming, everyone's really lucky."

After receiving the parchment from the house elf Dobby, Lee Jordan excitedly shared first-hand news with the listeners standing by the radio.

"According to the latest news, the Death Eaters who attacked Hogsmeade last night finally took back the wizarding village from the group of foreign dark wizards at a huge cost. A certain gentleman who did not want to be named also kindly provided some Interesting news…”

Lee Jordan nodded towards Kingsley who entered the studio and motioned for him to sit next to him and wait for a while.

"The Death Eaters headed by Yaxley once took the Death Eaters and a large number of dark wizards to Hogsmeade, trying to take back their black market from the group of outsiders. However, due to the foreign gangs entrenched in Hogsmeade, The number of wizards far outnumbered Yaxley's, and in the end the two sides resorted to a hasty wizard's duel to determine the final ownership of Hogsmeade."

"Yes, I think you all thought of the result. The Death Eaters finally lost. The foreign dark wizard sent a powerful guy named Percival, who easily killed the three participants in front of Yaxley. The dueling Death Eaters forced the Death Eaters to temporarily abandon Hogsmeade."

When Lee Jordan said this, he began to wonder if this dark wizard named Percival might be Albert in disguise.

However, he actually knew that Albert didn't like killing people and generally wouldn't kill someone personally.

He quickly shook that thought out of his head because...

"However, this group of outsiders obviously did not realize that the credibility of the Death Eaters was not reliable at all. Yaxley gathered more helpers that night and attacked Hogsmeade late at night, leaving a small number in Hogsmeade. Mod's foreign dark wizards are outnumbered, and Percival was besieged by a large number of Death Eaters yesterday and died tragically in Hogsmeade..."

In the studio, Lee Jordan, who had just received the news, was rattling off the details of last night's battle. While belittling the Death Eaters, he also mentioned some extremely exciting news for those who resisted Voldemort.

"Oh, I almost forgot, we also invited a special guest today to analyze whether our dear Mr. Yaxley's head was caught by the door."

Kingsley had always been a frequent visitor to Wizard's Lookout, and everyone was familiar with him.

"Thanks, I'm Kingsley."

Kingsley took the microphone from Lee Jordan.

"Let me tell you some good news first. According to the latest news, after the battle last night, both the Death Eaters and the external dark wizards indeed suffered heavy losses. At least..."

"...I feel like all the Death Eaters' heads have been pinched by the door!"

After listening to Fred's description, Ron finally came to this conclusion.

Death Eaters and outside dark wizards fight each other, and both sides suffer heavy losses in the end?

Everyone hopes to do something like this again several times.

It would be better if Death Eaters and alien dark wizards died together.

Harry and Hermione had remained silent and did not express their opinions on the matter. They both felt that this kind of thing was abnormal.

"Abforth believes that the conflict between the two parties was probably due to a conflict of interest." Sirius held a large water glass and poured a glass of pumpkin juice for everyone.

"why would you say so?"

"Many dark wizards are willing to join the mysterious man's forces just to take the opportunity to make some money. Since Hogsmeade became the British black market, many people have naturally tried to profit from it. Those outsiders have made Galleons from the black market. The fat man naturally became their target, but who was easy to mess with who was able to hang out in the black market? So the two sides clashed, and even several Death Eaters were killed. "

"But Yaxley deliberately turned Hogsmeade into a black market. It must not be for this reason!" Hermione instinctively felt that something was wrong with this matter.

"Probably in order to make money and help...the mysterious man recruit some dark wizards from abroad." Sirius couldn't help but gloat when he talked about this matter, "In fact, the most vicious group of dark wizards in Britain have been there since Scrimgeour. During his tenure, he and his Aurors killed a lot of people, and now the remaining ones are just second-rate people.”

"Yaxley's appearance is naturally not too ugly, but he forgot that not only did he want to make money, but the people below also wanted to make money, so Hogsmeade became like this."

Lupine's expression was quite strange. He had been at the bottom of the wizarding world and knew very well the thoughts of the dark wizards at the bottom. Maybe the Death Eaters wanted to attack Hogsmeade and massacre and rob the outside dark wizards. Take advantage of the chaos to get some benefits for yourself.

As for sustainable development, what does that have to do with them.

"I also think this is a good topic. Maybe Kingsley should discuss it specifically to let everyone know who the mysterious man and his minions are."

Fred took out a small notebook from his pocket and wrote down the incident.

"When did you still have the habit of taking notes?" Ron looked at George with surprise.

"Do you think everyone is as leisurely as you? We are very busy and have a lot of things to do every day. Writing things down can prevent you from forgetting." Fred glanced at Ron, who had a surprised face, and looked away. He curled his lips and said, "Besides, don't you think this is more stylish?"

"More stylish?" Ron's face was full of questions.

How can I take notes in a more stylish way?

"You don't understand even after I tell you." Fred turned to Lupin and said, "Remus, you go in and talk to Kingsley about this later. I dare say many people will be very willing to see death eating." The ugly faces of the gangsters and those dark wizards.”

"no problem."

"I want you to emphasize one thing again."

"What's up?"

"It is impossible for everyone to be rich. Those dark wizards who join the mysterious man at the bottom want to stand up. The fastest way is to plunder from other wizards."

"Are you going to use this to create conflict between the two parties?"

After hearing what Fred said, everyone couldn't help but frown.

"No, that's the truth." Fred shrugged and said, "These are actually Albert's exact words, but many people don't realize it, whether it's you, the Death Eaters, or trying to fight in this war. The group of idiots who remain neutral in this world do not realize that not everyone in this world can live a good life, nor do they realize that most of the wealth is in the vaults of those ancient wizard families, and most of those guys are death eaters. only."

"You're right, they are stupid."

Lupine understood what Fred meant and how he wanted him to talk about this matter.

After Lupine and Sirius went to the studio together, Harry suddenly said, "Do you think this matter has anything to do with Albert?"

Fleur, who had just delivered drinks to the studio, couldn't help but ask, "Why do you say that?"

"This thing is obviously very unusual. The very unusual thing was probably caused by Albert. Death Eaters and dark wizards fought, and both sides suffered heavy casualties. It's a bit bizarre no matter how you look at it." Hermione explained to everyone.

"Is such a thing possible?"

Ron was the first to express doubts about this. He did not think that Death Eaters and dark wizards were fools. If they were really fools, they would not be in such trouble.

"I think it's very possible." Fred ignored Ron and explained to everyone who looked at him, "A while ago, Albert didn't know what he was busy with. We all thought he was going to make big moves."

"So, you also think he did this?"

"That guy's series of operations are simply incomprehensible to ordinary people." Fred said with a smile, "Just like we all know that Scrimgeour killed so many Death Eaters because of him, even though he himself never admitted it. get over this."

"This matter is actually not as difficult as you think. As Lupine said just now, as long as the conflict between the two parties is aroused, the conflict of interests between the Death Eaters and foreign dark wizards will break out sooner or later." Harry took a sip of pumpkin juice. , said with emotion: "If something like this happens a few more times, the noseless monster will probably become a loner."

Of course, this kind of good thing can only be thought about in the mind.

But one thing Harry had to admit, Albert was really good.

In just two years, Voldemort's power was greatly weakened.

Next, it’s up to him.

It is crucial to destroy all the Horcruxes, and now only the last two Horcruxes need to be destroyed.

Harry had already figured out how to deal with the Ravenclaw diadem hidden in the Room of Requirement. The only problem now was the Hufflepuff Gold Cup in the Gringotts vault.

Harry once thought about using the Imperius Curse to control the goblin named Bogrorod in Bill's mouth, but since the goblins were harmed by the Death Eaters, the goblins have retreated underground.

He has missed this opportunity.

They could only break into Gringotts and find a way. Although the three of them had prepared several backup plans for this, Harry still felt that it was not very reliable. He would never allow the operation to destroy the Horcruxes to fail.

"What's the matter, Harry?" Hermione asked sharply.

"nothing."

Harry drank more pumpkin juice to hide his expression.

"You don't look like you're okay," Ron said.

"I'm a little worried about the current progress." Harry said half-seriously.

"Don't worry Harry, you still have a long time to complete Dumbledore's mission." Hermione comforted, "What's more, mastering the Fire Curse is something that cannot be rushed."

"I know." Harry sighed, "But we can't expect the noseless monster's head to be caught in the door."
