Study Days at Hogwarts

  Chapter 1048 Bad future

  At this moment, at No. 12 Grimmauld Place, Sirius was immediately surrounded by people as soon as he walked out of the studio.

   "The broadcast just now was really cool."

  Fred and George were not stingy with their praise, "If Fudge and Toad hear tonight's broadcast, they will definitely vomit blood."

"I don't know if they will be so angry that they vomit blood, but I know that Fudge will definitely try his best to arrest you in Azkaban prison." Kingsley reminded: "Sirius, don't run around recently, because For the relationship between "Defense Letters" and the wizard's lookout post, Fudge has wanted to offer you a reward more than once."

   "It's not better, it shows that Fudge is just a stupid fool."

Harry hates Cornelius Fudge very much now, especially knowing what consequences Fudge's stupid things will lead to, and even more so, his impression of the kind Minister of Magic in the past has been greatly reduced, and now he is only a politician False face.

   "Before Fudge was kicked out of the stage, it was meaningless to say that." Kingsley sighed in his heart.

   So far, he is still reluctant to believe Albert's prediction, because the future situation is too bad.

   "Sirius, who do you think will be the new Minister?" Hermione was more concerned about this question, or in other words, she was actually asking "In Albert's prophecy, who will be the next Minister of Magic".

  Hermione felt that this matter was very important. Once Fudge stepped down, and an unreliable Minister of Magic appeared again, and continued to sing against Dumbledore, it would really be over.

  As for Albert's prediction being wrong, Hermione didn't think about it, because Albert's prediction was accurate even if he didn't use the crystal ball, let alone the predicted result.

   "Scrimper."

  Sirius walked into the hall, ready to get some butter beer to drink, feeling parched from the broadcast just now.

"Why not Amelia Bones?" Tonks returned to the hall with several people, picked up the butterbeer barrel and filled Lupine and Sirius' cups with butterbeer, "I think Amelia Bones It should be more likely that Enns will be the new minister, she is the head of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement."

   "I also hope it's Amelia Bones." Kingsley said in a low voice. For some reason, his tone sounded a little lonely and helpless.

   "Actually, no matter who is the next one, there is nothing we can do." George interrupted suddenly.

   "Unless Fudge steps down immediately, the next Minister of Magic is doomed to be unlucky." Fred nodded in agreement.

   "What did Anderson predict?"

Mad-Eye Moody, who has been silent since just now, suddenly asked, he doesn't believe in Albert's prophecy like Sirius, but keeps a wait-and-see attitude for the time being, but he will also use it as a reference and speculation about the future.

   Even a master prophecy cannot guarantee that every prediction is 100% accurate.

"He said that the next minister will inevitably become a victim of the collapse of the Ministry of Magic." George shrugged and explained after noticing the gazes of others: "We don't know the rest, Albert didn't Elaborate."

   "Dumbledore didn't know about this?" Ron asked suspiciously.

   "Since we all know, Dumbledore must know too." Mad-Eye believed that Dumbledore must also know this part of the prophecy, but he actually cared more about what the other party planned to do.

   "If the Death Eaters' escape plan is true, shall we take action to stop it..." Tonks cast an inquiring look at Kingsley, "The Ministry of Magic, or the Order of the Phoenix..."

   "Harry, Ron, and you should go back to rest." Mrs. Weasley looked at the crowd with her waist in her arms, ready to drive them away. She didn't want other kids hearing about it, and she didn't like them getting involved.

   "Mom, we are adults." Fred and George couldn't help complaining.

"I am your mother."

  Mrs. Weasley drove Harry and the others out of the hall, closed the wooden door, and did not forget to cast a distraction spell on the door.

   After finishing all this, she signaled that everyone can continue.

  Outside, Fred and George took out their extendable ears and tried to eavesdrop on the conversation inside, but they soon found that a spell had been cast on the door, and they could only return to their room in annoyance.

   "Useless Tonks, Fudge has become very extreme now. Even if you tell him about the prison escape, he probably won't believe it. He may even think you are Dumbledore's man and fire you..."

   "I was," Tonks muttered.

   "We don't have any evidence that the Death Eaters are trying to help the prisoners of Azkaban escape." Mad-Eye shook his head.

  Even in ordinary times, the probability of success is not high.

"...I know, but we still need to stay in the Ministry of Magic. With the current situation, unless Scrimgeour is willing to take the risk of mobilizing Aurors to strengthen Azkaban's defenses, the chances are not high, because many wizards think that Azkaban Caban is pretty safe." Kingsley shook his head, "If Amelia Bones could take over, maybe she might follow Dumbledore's advice, but that's almost a fantasy."

   "Didn't you notice? Why didn't Amelia Bones become the Minister of Magic, but Scrimgeour took over the position of the Minister of Magic." Tonks asked this question again.

  However, the result was silence.

  Amelia Bones is probably dead!

   Everyone is aware of this.

"Maybe, we should reach a cooperation with Amelia Bones. Her brother was also a member of the Order of the Phoenix, and her family members died because of Death Eaters. Maybe..." Lupine cast his gaze on Sirius and asked What's the situation with him.

"I reminded her, but Amelia Burns was dubious about it, and it was difficult to convince her in some ways." Sirius sighed, and he actually agreed with Burns as the new minister, At least the Ministry of Magic won't be a problem even if they can't unite with the Ministry of Magic.

"Perhaps, after we escape from Azkaban, we can talk to her. If she is really killed by Voldemort, it will be a heavy loss." Kingsley did not agree with Scrimgeour's appointment, although His boss is a very aggressive Auror, but if he becomes a minister, the situation may not be too optimistic.

   Not all wizards are fit to be ministers.

   "That's not the problem," Sirius shook his head.

"What's the meaning?"

"Albert thinks that Amelia Bones is on Voldemort's must-kill list. Unless she hides, the Ministry of Magic can't protect her safety at all." Sirius explained: "I dare say the Ministry of Magic is sure Infiltrated by Death Eaters, even if Amelia Bones is protected by other Aurors, are you sure you won't be betrayed? Besides, I talked to her about it, and Amelia Bones Burns' character is not likely to hide."

   "So, Amelia Bones is almost certain to die?" Tonks felt absurd.

   "We'll talk to Amelia Bones about her safety after the prison break is over." Kingsley also didn't have the confidence to convince the other party.

   Actually, if he was in Amelia Bones' place, he wouldn't allow himself to hide.

"It's useless. Amelia Burns can't change anything if she really becomes a minister. Fudge's false peace is completely broken, and the credibility of the British Ministry of Magic will suffer a fatal blow. When Voldemort completely and seriously threatens everyone's life safety , how much trust do you think everyone has in the Ministry of Magic?" Sirius almost said this in a recitative tone,

   "This is Albert's original words."

  Tonks and Kingsley looked at each other and fell into a brief silence. Although they were unwilling to admit it, this was the truth.

"Don't forget, Fudge is constantly pouring dirty water on Dumbledore and Harry. The Ministry of Magic is rotten from the root, which is why the next minister will inevitably become a victim." Sirius is also very pessimistic The future of the Ministry of Magic.

   "Dumbledore would not have allowed this to happen." Mrs. Weasley said anxiously.

  Yeah, Dumbledore will not allow this to happen.

  In that case, Albert Anderson's prophecy has gone wrong.

  But...if Albert Anderson's prediction comes true, does that mean...

   "I don't think even Dumbledore can change all of this." Sirius is pessimistic about the future, which may be related to his frequent contact with Albert.

"If Dumbledore had agreed with Albert's plan at the beginning, forced Fudge to step down and leave, and pushed Amelia Bones to the position of minister, maybe the situation would not have completely gotten out of control, but I'm afraid it's too late now." Based on what Sirius knew about Albert, that guy was actually not an adventurous person.

   Especially to pull Fudge down, I am afraid that it was the last chance to make that proposal.

"If Azkaban really breaks out in the near future, we need to talk to Dumbledore." Mad-Eye took a sip of the flagon in his hand, turned and walked out of the hall, "As for Amelia Burns, keep her as much as possible, once she is killed by Voldemort, it will be a huge loss to us, and even the entire wizarding world."

  Whether Amelia Bones could become a minister alive, Sirius expressed doubts about it. He remembered Albert's saying: good words are hard to persuade, **** it.

  So, for those guys who couldn't be persuaded, Albert let him die, and even watched him die with his own eyes.

  After the brief discussion ended, everyone bid farewell and left. Fred and George stopped Bill at the stairs.

   "What's the matter?" Bill asked vigilantly.

   "We're going to open a shop." George said suddenly.

   "Looking for a suitable store in Diagon Alley," Fred added.

   "We value a store, and I hope you can help us go there first to ask about the price." The Weasley twins said in unison.

   "Where did you get the money?" Bill asked curiously.

"Albert gave us a start-up capital," Fred said. "If the price is not very expensive, you can buy that store, 93 Diagon Alley, and if possible, buy all the nearby stores. Or rent it out."

   "Because of the chaos caused by the Death Eaters and the mysterious man, I think the price should be reduced to the lowest ever." George said, "This is Albert's original words. Anyway, please help me."

   "It will take a lot of Galleons." Bill was a little bit moved by the other party's wealth.

"I heard that he made a lot of money by betting on himself to win the championship last time." George glanced at his mouth and said, "Sirius also made a lot of money. If Dad is willing to put more money last time, I think our family can also make a lot of money. "

   Bill fell into a brief silence, he had really heard of this.

   "Okay, no problem." Bill agreed.

   "By the way, remember to keep it secret from others." George said.

   "Are you planning to open a shop?"

  The three of Harry came out of nowhere.

   "Yes," said George, "our products are selling well."

   "It's really thanks to Toad." Fred said with emotion.

   "According to Albert's prediction, next year will be the best-selling year." George said in a low voice, "So, we have to hurry up and prepare."

   “None of us would want to stay in school without continuing to promote the product.”

   "If you dare to suspend school, Mom will definitely pick your skin off." Ron warned.

   "You four open a shop?" Hermione asked curiously.

   "However, this store is only temporary and will be split up again in the future." George nodded, "Albert has a complete plan, and the most important thing is to open the store first."

   "Ron, if you can't find a good job in the future, maybe you can work in a store." George joked with a smile, "We will give you a good price then."

   "Fuck off, you can't find a job." Ron glared at Fred and George.

   "Those two **** are too much." Ron looked a little angry.

   "I remember there was employment consultation this year." Hermione changed the topic, "Harry, have you thought about what kind of job you will have in the future?"

   "Maybe...to be an Auror who fights Dark wizards." Harry said hesitantly.

   "Where's Ron?" Hermione looked at Ron and asked.

   "I haven't figured it out yet," said Ron hesitantly. "It would be nice to be an Auror, if possible."

   "What about you, Hermione?" Ron asked back.

   "I hope to enter the Department of Management and Control of Fantastic Beasts and help those poor house-elves." Hermione said her future plans.

   "Have you given up on vomiting yet?" Ron had a weird expression on his face.

   "It's not vomiting, it's the House-Elf Rights Promotion Association." Hermione corrected impatiently.

   "I thought Anderson would succeed in persuading her to give up those impractical things." Ron said to Harry after Hermione left.

   "Dobby was hired by Albert." Harry said suddenly.

   "Anderson himself is a weirdo." Ron shrugged.

   "Dumbledore didn't just do that." Harry reminded.

   "Honestly, I doubt Hermione would be willing to spend money to hire a house-elf." Ron muttered, "There are not many people like Anderson in the entire wizarding world."
