Study Days at Hogwarts

  Chapter 1172 Terrible Albert

   "You failed, Bella."

  Voldemort put down the newspaper and looked down at the woman lying next to him. He even forgot when he started reading these lying newspapers.

   "Master, I'm sorry, please forgive me, I..."

   "Enough, you really let me down. Because of your stupidity and arrogance, we lost four more Death Eaters." Voldemort interrupted Bella's defense indifferently, and raised his wand to point at the stupid woman in front of him.

   "Deep to the bone!"

  Bellatrix fell to the ground and writhed and screamed in pain. The Death Eaters around all cast indifferent glances at Bella. They had had enough of this crazy woman long ago.

   "I don't want such a stupid thing to happen again." Voldemort raised his wand to warn the Death Eaters present.

  Actually, from the very beginning, Voldemort didn't expect Bella to be able to kill that cunning Mudblood, but this woman's stupidity and arrogance killed several Death Eaters, which was the real reason for Voldemort's anger.

   In less than three months, the number of Death Eaters has been reduced by a quarter. How can this not make Voldemort angry? Even in the last wizarding war, there was no such serious loss.

   This was almost a series of slaps to Voldemort, and at the same time, he was punched in the face head-on. Those who didn't know it thought that Voldemort's nose was smashed by someone.

   "Alecto!"

"Owner."

   "Is there anything you want to tell me?"

   Voldemort stared sharply at the only Death Eater who had escaped.

"That Mudblood has a deeper connection with the Ministry of Magic than we expected, and he is using the power of the Ministry of Magic and the Order of the Phoenix to attack us." Alecto lowered his head, "Maybe, we should get rid of his help first, Then go deal with that Mudblood."

   "Albert Anderson."

   Voldemort whispered the name of the Mudblood who had caused heavy losses to the Death Eaters.

   "I'm already wary of him enough, but that Mudblood has proved to us more than once that we're far from being wary of him enough."

  "He has the power to predict the future, and he uses this ability skillfully to attack us with the help of the Ministry of Magic and the Order of the Phoenix."

   "But, is it really possible? Scrimgeour is definitely not an idiot, how could he believe it easily." A new Death Eater couldn't help but raise his own doubts, which immediately attracted the attention of other veteran Death Eaters.

  Actually, anyone who has learned about divination knows that it is often a joke. It is very difficult to predict the future, let alone predict the future accurately.

"That Mudblood is undoubtedly smart, he will always have a way to convince Scrimgeour." Alecto looked at Snape and asked in an affirmative tone, "He must have convinced the group of the Order of the Phoenix people!"

"Yes, everyone in the Order of the Phoenix believes in his prophecies. It is said that he has not made any mistakes since he started to prophesy." Snape said blankly under the gaze of everyone, "Of course, this may also be related to He is closely related to Dumbledore."

Probably sensing Voldemort's gaze, Snape continued, "It is said that he is hiding in a house that has been cast with the Fidelity Curse. Only Dumbledore knows his exact location. It is very important to find and kill him. difficulty."

   "I remember that Mudblood was closely related to the two Weasley boys." Alecto reminded, "They also opened a shop together."

"Yes, there was, but since James Potter had been betrayed by Peter Pettigrew, Albert Anderson had learned his lesson and didn't trust his friend, maybe worried about being betrayed by a friend, or Other reasons. In short, that person was very cautious, and it was precisely because of this that he provided Dumbledore with part of the prophecy information." Snape said blankly, "Dumbledore also paid the price for obtaining the prophecy."

   "What price?"

   "He seems to think Dumbledore is dying and has his eye on his legacy!"

Snape felt that Bella's group would be so unlucky because the Death Eaters tried to kill him at Albert's wedding last time, which caused him to completely hate him, plus 10,000 Galleons A reward was offered, and Bella was able to come back alive, which surprised Snape.

   "Legacy?"

   "It's books. I heard this by accident. He worried that this part of knowledge would be lost after Dumbledore's death, so he wanted to leave this part of the content."

   "It's really hard to believe that he is Gryffindor instead of Ravenclaw?" A Death Eater couldn't help but sarcastically.

   "We are not going to discuss these things today. We must get rid of this trouble, otherwise similar things will happen for the third time, or even the fourth time."

  Voldemort's face was also very ugly, because he remembered the secret base that had been completely ransacked.

   So far, Voldemort has still not caught the **** thief.

   Still, he's almost certain that the guy who did it was the damned Mudblood.

"I think we should ignore that Mudblood first, find a way to get rid of Scrimgeour first, help our people to rise, and prevent the Ministry of Magic from becoming our enemy again." Yaxley expressed his views on this matter, talking to Magic Undoubtedly, it is quite a stupid thing to fight recklessly.

   "We should control the Ministry of Magic first according to the original plan, turn the employees of the Ministry of Magic into our help, and find ways to expand our power."

   "Yaxley."

  Voldemort never thought that the Ministry of Magic would become so troublesome, "I need you to speed up the penetration of the Ministry of Magic, and I will get rid of Scrimgeour myself."

   "Until then, we cannot remain indifferent to the deaths of Brother Lestrange and the other Death Eaters. Let everyone act for me and teach the Ministry of Magic an unforgettable lesson."

   "Severus, what's the matter?"

   After the meeting ended, looking at Snape who stayed behind, Voldemort motioned for the other party to sit down and talk.

"About Draco Malfoy's plan." Snape twitched his lips and said before the Dark Lord said, "His plan is not very clever, and it is likely to startle the enemy. If the situation is appropriate, please allow me to use This is an opportunity to get rid of Dumbledore."

   "Oh, it seems that you are sure." Voldemort looked at Snape and said indifferently, "I don't want you to make stupid mistakes like Bella and Lucius."

  Snape is Voldemort's secret trump card for killing Dumbledore, and he will not allow any mistakes in it.

   "This is actually related to another matter that I plan to report to the master." Snape explained against Voldemort's gaze.

   "Dumbledore is injured, a serious injury, although I don't know how he was injured, but he obviously hasn't lived well for a few years"

   "I have heard similar rumors." Voldemort said.

   Dumbledore's injury was noticed by the vast majority of Hogwarts students at the opening dinner.

"This matter is true. I checked it for Dumbledore, and he may still live for five to eight years." Snape said his judgment, "Although I can't confirm whether Dumbledore's strength has been weakened, But I think he should gradually become weaker."

   "Draco Malfoy's plan is to find a group of people to sneak into Hogwarts and besiege Dumbledore."

  Voldemort frowned slightly, obviously not optimistic about this plan, or in other words, he was not optimistic about Draco Malfoy's success from the very beginning.

"I think Draco Malfoy's plan is hardly a threat to Dumbledore, but if the right opportunity arises, I will sneak up and kill him from behind." Snape said his plan in full, without hiding anything It means to use other people as cannon fodder.

  Of course, these so-called plans were not actually thought up by him, but by Dumbledore. However, Snape probably didn't know that this whole plan actually came from Albert's hint to Dumbledore, asking him to make some contributions before he died.

   "Don't let me down, you know the consequences of failure." Voldemort said indifferently.

  However, what Voldemort didn't know was that an hour later, Snape reported to Dumbledore what happened tonight in the headmaster's office.

"You've done a good job, Severus." Dumbledore said softly, "However, you need to pay special attention to Draco, don't let him carry out those unreliable plans, which are harmful to Hogwarts. It's dangerous for students."

   "Dangerous, don't you think it's more dangerous to allow Death Eaters to break into Hogwarts?" Snape said grimly.

   "So, it must be at night, when everyone is resting." Dumbledore said calmly.

"I don't think this matter can be hidden from that Anderson," Snape suddenly thought of something, and suddenly looked up at Dumbledore: "You don't intend to use this to catch all the Death Eaters who broke into the school, do you?" ?”

   "I heard that Voldemort recruited Greyback?" Dumbledore suddenly changed the subject, "And dear Bellatrix. To be honest, I am a little surprised that she is still alive."

   "That guy's methods are really chilling." Snape understood Dumbledore's meaning.

   "Werewolves are worthy of sympathy. No one wants to suffer from lycanthropy, but it is extremely infuriating to want to spread it wantonly, especially in the future. Voldemort will definitely use werewolves to threaten ordinary people."

   Dumbledore disliked Greyback not only because of his love of attacking children, but also because of his dedication to turning more people into werewolves and spreading lycanthropy to other people. Therefore, before Albert proposed that Dumbledore do something meaningful before he died, he did not refuse.

"You really trust him, or are you trying to use him like you used me?" Snape narrowed his eyes slightly, "I think you're playing with fire, and Anderson is very smart, very smart, he even uses magic The Department and the Order of the Phoenix are used as chess pieces, and I remember that he seems to have won the International Wizards Chess Championship."

   "Thank you for your reminder, but I agree with him more, this is a win-win situation!"

In fact, Dumbledore was not too worried about Albert. He also watched the child grow up and graduate. The other party was indeed very intelligent and intelligent, but from Albert's attitude towards friends, family members, and even his behavior, Deng Bullido could conclude that Albert was even more harmless than his younger self.

   To some extent, Albert is more suitable to be his successor than Harry.

   "Win-win? He probably won't be happy if he knows that you let me persuade the Dark Lord to turn against him." Snape said smugly.

  Why Voldemort is so afraid of Albert is partly because of the news delivered by Snape.

  Dumbledore wanted to drag Albert into the water and let him stand on the side of the Order of the Phoenix. The effect is beyond doubt, it is amazingly good.

   It's not hard to see this from the number of Death Eaters who have died over the past few months.

   "Albert already knew about it a long time ago." Dumbledore said calmly, "He knows the danger of the mysterious man better than anyone else, otherwise he would have gone to settle in another country. Do you really think I can convince him?"

   "Didn't the wedding attack completely **** him off?" Snape thought it was the wedding attack that completely **** Albert off.

"Of course not, he stayed out of his will." Dumbledore said softly, "Besides, it's useless even if You-Know-Who is hostile to him, because Voldemort can't find him or his family at all. Also be cautious."

   "What's more, he is a master prophecy, able to peek into the past and predict the future."

   "Can the prophecy really achieve this level?"

"Yes, someone can do this. Before we do it, he can predict what we will do!" Dumbledore fell into a short memory: "It's just that Albert's prophecy talent is more powerful, he is likely to He is the most powerful prophecy master in history, it is incredible, maybe he will be the contemporary Merlin."

   "I thought you were the contemporary Merlin." Snape pouted.

   "You think too highly of me." Dumbledore said modestly, "Is there any question?"

   "If he is really the most powerful divination master ever, I think I might die too?" Snape said suddenly.

   "What do you mean?" Dumbledore looked at Snape in surprise, not understanding why the other party said such words.

   "Anderson once left a prophecy for me and Draco." Snape walked to the Pensieve, and pulled out a certain memory that had been buried deep in his memory from his mind.

  Dumbledore raised his eyebrows slightly, and came to the Pensieve, looking at the gradually clear memory.

   "When something happens to my cat, I'll think you did it."

   Albert's threatening voice sounded in the Pensieve, and then Dumbledore saw the memory that Snape wanted him to see, which was the prophecy Albert gave to Malfoy.

"Things related to your name will bring you an unexpected journey; the blood of the curse will not bring eternal life, and you will be a witness, he is with you. Stay away from that shadow, Otherwise, a conspiracy will start because of you, bringing death to you, or death to others." While he was meditating on this prophecy in a low voice, Albert made another prophecy to Snape.

   "Beware of black and white, stay away from the cursed course, otherwise when your wish is fulfilled, death will not be far from you!"

   "What a bad prediction, I will find a chance to talk to Albert."

  Dumbledore knew what Snape meant, and there was no doubt that Albert's prediction had basically come true. Both Malfoy's and Snape's predictions might come true.
