Study Days at Hogwarts

"It seems that Fudge is really going crazy."

Albert flipped through the latest issue of "Daily Prophet", then secretly glanced at Isobel who was flipping through "Wizard Weekly", and sighed silently in his heart. Isobel has been angry with him since they came back from Spain, and Albert has been sleeping on the sofa for several days in a row.

"Still angry?"

"How dare I be angry with you, my champion." Isobel said without raising her head.

Albert cast a pleading look at Katrina, who shrugged helplessly, saying that there was nothing she could do about it.

"Okay, don't be angry."

Albert walked around the sofa and came behind Isobel, stretched out his arms to hug the other person from behind, put his head close, and whispered softly: "I know I was a bit risky before, but the actual situation is not as dangerous as you think. , and I also took Felixir, and Dumbledore also came to help."

"You are just like my unreliable father now." Isobel said with a straight face, "Do you know how hard my mother is living now? I don't want to be like that in the future."

"Sorry, I was reckless."

After being stared at by Isobel for a moment, Albert apologized seriously and raised his hand to promise, "I will protect myself from now on. Even if I want to cause trouble, I will let others do it."

"Listen to this, why do you seem to be hiding behind the scenes to cause trouble?" Katrina looked up at Albert with a strange expression.

"No, I'm a good person."

Noticing that Isobel was still staring at him, Albert coughed lightly and explained: "In the last situation, you staying in the gym would only make me afraid to use my full strength, and I don't know about the battle with the mysterious man. Will it destroy the stadium? In fact, it was almost destroyed."

"Forget it this time, don't let it happen next time." Isobel said expressionlessly, "Do you know how worried I was at that time?"

"Is that guy really a mysterious person?" Katrina picked up the "Prophet Newspaper" on the table to cover her sight and asked casually.

"It's a mysterious man." Albert sat down next to Isobel. "It was Kara who discovered it first. After telling me through the communication bracelet, I asked Kara to find Principal Dumbledore."

"What if Headmaster Dumbledore doesn't come to the game?"

"If the principal is not here, I will abstain directly." Albert said calmly: "Although I should be able to fight the mysterious person to no avail for the time being, it is not easy to completely defeat the opponent or drive him away. The mysterious person A man does not give in easily, and delaying too long will be to his advantage.”

"So you are already so powerful." Katrina looked at Albert up and down, although they had already seen the thrilling duel through his memory.

"Well, the biggest gap between me and the mysterious man is actually the accumulation of experience. After taking the Fuling Elixir, the gap in this aspect will be greatly shortened..."

"Wait a minute, you used the Felixir." Katrina looked at Albert in surprise, "The organizer should check whether the contestants are cheating."

"Yes, but... there is always a way to cheat. What's more, if the other party cheats first, why should I stupidly follow the rules of the game." Albert asked rhetorically.

Katrina suddenly felt that this made sense.

Albert glanced at Isobel secretly and continued: "The mysterious man does not understand my true level, so... when we first fought, I had the advantage. Well, it should be said that I actually had most of the advantage, and this is also The reason why I dare to duel with the mysterious man."

"Besides, I have to show my strength after all, otherwise many Death Eaters will come to trouble me." Albert said to Isobel: "This is actually one of the reasons why Mr. Bard arranged for me to participate in the duel competition. 1. As long as you show enough strength, a lot of troubles will disappear on their own. Although the results are a bit unexpected, they are actually within control. "

"You didn't tell the truth, or in other words, you only told some of the truth." Isobel saw through Albert's little trick at a glance.

"Well, although I have always thought that defeating You-Know-Who is Harry Potter's job, accidents can happen in everything. If Harry Potter unfortunately fails, someone has to step forward to solve the problem, and it will be his turn then. I went on the field, and it was necessary to be able to know the opponent’s strength safely and in advance.”

"It should be Professor Dumbledore's job to defeat the mysterious man." Isobel frowned upon hearing this, staring at Albert and asked: "So, you didn't plan to escape from Britain in the first place?"

"Of course I have considered it. If that day comes..." Albert shrugged and said, "I will wait until I am sure of winning before I fight the mysterious man."

"You can take the opportunity to understand each other, and the mysterious person can also take the opportunity to understand you." Katrina felt that Albert's words were a bit bragging. The mysterious person is the top group of people in the magic world. Currently, only Dumbledore has it. Possibly beat him.

"I'm still young, and I still have a long period of rapid growth." Albert is very confident in his own strength, "But the mysterious man is different. It's difficult for him to grow much."

There is another thing that Albert did not say, that is, he has a panel that can be hacked, but Voldemort does not, so the longer time goes by, the more beneficial it is to Albert.

This time, Voldemort's old friend contributed to him a skill of proficiency in black magic. Although he does not often use black magic, if he wants to know how to deal with black magic, he must know enough about black magic.

Which of the so-called masters of defense against black magic is not proficient in black magic?

Dumbledore?

Just because Dumbledore doesn't use black magic, it doesn't mean that he really doesn't understand black magic. If he doesn't understand, how can he deal with those evil black magic?

"If possible, it's best to let Harry Potter defeat the mysterious man!" Isobel said softly, she didn't want her man to take risks.

"Actually, I think so too." Albert said with a smile: "After all, Harry Potter is the savior."

"Harry Potter is really unlucky." Katrina muttered in a low voice, "Just because of the so-called title of savior, do you need to fight a mysterious man to your death?"

Albert glanced at Katrina and said quietly: "That is his fate."

"Exactly like something you would say."

"You-Know-Who chose Harry Potter as his mortal enemy," Albert explained.

"What's the meaning?"

"It means that Harry Potter actually has no choice, but this matter is not a chance for him. At least Dumbledore chose him. As long as Harry Potter does not die, his future will definitely be better than that of most people." All are good. If he wants to, he might be able to become the Minister of Magic or a senior official of the Ministry of Magic in a dozen years. What's more..." Albert said meaningfully, "You didn't realize that Harry Potter is a disaster. Immortal boy?"

"What do you mean?" Katrina always felt that Albert liked to say some incomprehensible things.

"It's not easy to die even if you are in danger." Albert explained: "The only problem is that it can easily affect the people around you. If you are not lucky, you can die easily. Like the maze of the Triwizard Tournament, if I am not strong enough If you are too strong, you may be dead. Therefore, staying away from him is the best choice."

"This matter has something to do with Dumbledore?" Isobel suddenly asked, "Do you think Professor Dumbledore wants to use Harry Potter to kill Voldemort?"

"Dumbledore? Although he also hopes that Harry Potter can defeat the mysterious man, using him shouldn't be considered." Albert thought for a while and said, "He just tried every means to help Harry Potter go away." Go further and guide Harry to become a hero who dares to face his own destiny."

"What if Harry Potter doesn't want to?" Katrina asked, "Not everyone likes the life arranged by others, and I don't like it."

"Harry Potter has no choice. Unless he wants to be killed by You-Know-Who, defeating You-Know-Who is his only choice." Albert said softly, "That's why I think he will defeat You-Know-Who, right?" , there are some things you can’t say nonsense, otherwise it will lead to death.”

"so serious?"

"I dare say that the mysterious man has not figured out the cause and effect between him and Potter," Albert said, looking at the newspaper on the table. "If he knows the news, he might come to visit you personally, or have someone invite you over. .”

"he does not know?"

"I definitely don't know, but he will try to figure it out, from the prophecy he and Harry Potter share." Albert said meaningfully.

However, Albert guessed wrong.

At this moment, Voldemort was not concentrating on planning the crystal ball in the Department of Mysteries, but was thinking about the whole incident.

In the end, he was forced to escape in person, which almost made Voldemort angry.

Oh, sorry, he doesn't seem to have a nose.

After some analysis and brainstorming by Voldemort, he placed the biggest blame on Dumbledore.

No way, who made Dumbledore suddenly appear and act as a referee? It seems suspicious no matter what. There may even be a trap specially prepared for him, and Albert Anderson is the bait to lure him into the trap, with the purpose of resurrecting him. The news was completely exposed to everyone, letting everyone know that he had returned, in order to reduce the pressure from the Ministry of Magic.

What made Voldemort uncomfortable was that not only was the bait unpalatable, it also made his teeth tickle.

Albert Anderson was far more powerful than expected, and he suddenly understood why Barty Jr. would eventually be defeated by him when he used conspiracy.

That guy was abnormal, very abnormal. There was no way a mudblood could have that much power.

Voldemort knew very well that a large part of his magical power came from his Slytherin blood.

Among wizards with stronger magical power than him, Voldemort has only met Dumbledore so far.

Where does that mudblood's power come from?

A descendant of a famous magic family?

However, what concerned Voldemort was Anderson's level of strength. Whether it was combat skills or attainments in black magic, they all proved that Albert Anderson was a highly capable wizard. That is something that can only be known by having a real fight with him. of.

The only difference is probably that the other person is still young and does not have an advantage in some aspects. Before he fully grows up, Voldemort is confident that he can kill him, as long as there are no other guys around who will get in the way.

"Master, Goyle and the others have been released." Lucius knocked on the door and walked in, respectfully reporting the good news to Voldemort.

For this, they also paid a price, such as asking people to help through connections, such as donating a large sum of galleons to St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injuries.

"Let Severus come to see me." Voldemort paid no attention to Malfoy's words.

Lucius lowered his head and left, looking for his old friend Snape, who obviously didn't dare to keep the Dark Lord waiting for too long and hurried over.

"I need more information about the mudblood named Albert Anderson." Voldemort said straight to the point: "Also, if you have the chance, kill him."

"I'm afraid this will be difficult." The expression on Snape's face almost stopped tightening, and he had to remind him, "Albert Anderson has always been wary of me, and he himself has a premonition of danger, especially after experiencing After what happened recently, it is almost impossible to murder him."

Voldemort glanced at Snape, who quickly lowered his head and stopped talking.

Snape actually knew something about what happened in Spain, but he didn't expect Voldemort to ask him to assassinate Albert.

Fortunately, Voldemort didn't force him to perform the task, otherwise he really wouldn't know how to solve this matter.

Can you succeed by yourself?

Snape didn't know either.

If you work hard, you may be able to succeed, but even if you succeed in the end, your identity will undoubtedly be exposed, which is completely outweighed by the gain.

When did Albert Anderson become so important to Voldemort that he wanted to kill him even if he was exposed?

"If the master allows me to reveal my identity, I can try to kill him, but I am not 100% sure. When the time comes, please allow me to return to you and serve you." Snape knew exactly what he should say to avoid Voldemort. Suspect.

"I still need you to stay with Dumbledore and continue to gather information for me." Voldemort finally did not let Snape take the risk.

"I heard... Cornelius Fudge has plans to send someone to Hogwarts to serve as Defense Against the Dark Arts professor. Maybe we can take this opportunity and use the Ministry of Magic to drive Dumbledore out of the school. I think they I definitely want to do that," Snape suggested. "If we succeed, maybe our chance will come."

"Then do it. It doesn't matter if you fail." Voldemort agreed, "Don't expose it."

"I will not let you down."

Although Snape said this, he went to Dumbledore immediately after leaving and reported the matter to him.

"Don't worry, Anderson predicted that I would be kicked out of school by Fudge." Dumbledore said calmly.

"Aren't you worried about something happening while you're away from school?" Snape couldn't understand why Dumbledore could remain so calm.

"The situation is not as bad as you think. They will not succeed, believe me." Dumbledore recalled that Albert asked himself if he wanted candy, and couldn't help but shook his head and said, "Don't try it. That's a tough nut to crack. Broken teeth."
