Study Days at Hogwarts

  Chapter 1231 Guidelines

   Both parties are very satisfied with the final result.

   After leaving that coffee shop, Albert went directly to the headquarters of the Defense Association. He had just received a message from George: Angelina was found.

  After escaping from the attack of the Death Eaters, Angelina has been hiding in the safe house, and was taken to the headquarters of the Defense Association by Dobby not long ago.

   "You stay here recently, listen to Albert's suggestion before making a decision."

  As soon as he approached the hall, Albert saw that Fred was handing hot cocoa to Angelina, while calming her down softly.

   "What are you doing standing here?"

  George appeared behind Albert at some point, reached out and patted his shoulder, and followed his gaze to the hall.

   "I really don't want to spoil the fun and go in and disturb their two-person world." Albert joked with a smile.

  Fred walked out of the hall after hearing the noise, looked at Albert and George standing in the corridor, raised his eyebrows slightly and asked, "When did you arrive?"

   "Just now, I heard you say that you will stay here soon."

   As he spoke, Albert and George walked into the hall together and looked at Angelina, who was sitting on the sofa, pale and in a very bad state of mind.

   After all, if a person is nervous and stays in a dark environment for a day or two, it would be **** if his mental state can be good.

Noticing the help-seeking gaze from Fred, Albert said calmly: "I suggest you stay temporarily, it's safe here. As for your family, I can send them a letter for you, telling them that you It's safe now, just temporarily hiding, so they don't need to worry."

   "Then what should I do about my Quidditch training?" Angelina was emotional, "I'm still undergoing trial training in the team, if..."

   "This is also impossible."

   Albert looked at the emotional Angelina, and kindly reminded, "Compared to being an excellent Quidditch player, I think you should pay more attention to your own safety."

   "Yes, I finally..."

  Angelina's mood is still very unstable. Becoming a professional Quidditch player has always been her goal. In just half a year, this dream will be completely shattered?

  She also suspected that it was because she joined the Defense Association that she was targeted by Death Eaters, but Claire's disappearance made her realize that this was not the case at all.

   "I don't think you may have read the newspaper." Albert said suddenly.

"What?"

  Angelina looked at Albert in puzzlement.

   At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps outside, and several people headed by Cedric swarmed into the hall.

   "Stay for lunch later?"

  Sanna put a plate of fruit on the table and looked at Albert expectantly.

   "Well, eat here at noon."

Albert picked up an apple and took a bite, picked up the newspaper on the table and handed it to Angelina, saying, "Damocles is the pharmacist in the newspaper who was tortured by the Cruciatus Curse and is still in the hospital. He is My friend, I advised him a long time ago to leave the UK to avoid the limelight, but he remained in the UK...thinking that the Death Eaters would do nothing to pure-blood wizards, so he suffered the consequences of his decision to stay."

   "Traveled into the hospital by the Cruciatus Curse?"

  Many people here understand the meaning of Albert's words: the result of one's own choice needs to be borne by oneself.

   These words also reminded Angelina that if she didn't plan to stay here, once she left and was re-targeted by the Death Eaters, she would have to bear the consequences of being caught by the Death Eaters, because they might not be able to rescue her in time.

  It's cold, but it's also realistic.

  Angelina returned to the team and was targeted by the Death Eaters. Whether she can still have the good luck she had last time is really hard to say.

   "So, the Death Eaters are looking for Mr. Damocles to find you through him?" Fred quickly changed the subject to avoid hurting Angelina with Albert's indifference.

"have no idea."

"have no idea?"

  Everyone was a little surprised that Albert would say this.

"I think those Death Eaters are crazy." Albert peeled the citrus for himself, and said plainly, "Both the Mysterious Man and the Death Eaters should be very clear that we are hiding in a house protected by the Fidelity Curse. The possibility of using people as bait is actually not high, after all, the Death Eaters have been held back so many times, and they should learn from their experience."

   "It seems that the situation is different from what we thought."

  Cedric originally thought that Angelina's situation was the same as his own, but after hearing what Albert said, he felt that the whole thing was indeed a bit inexplicable.

  The question now is, why did the Death Eaters capture Claire, attack Angelina, and torture Damocles?

   "I think those Death Eaters just want to catch me." Angelina complained dissatisfiedly, "If I didn't Apparate and leave immediately, I would definitely be caught by the Death Eaters."

"This matter is indeed a bit weird. I just got a message from the Order of the Phoenix that the homes of several famous pharmacists were visited by Death Eaters." George gave Fred a look to comfort him. Good Angelina mood.

   “These people have one thing in common…”

   "It's all related to Albert?" Lee Jordan raised his eyebrows.

"Yes, and they are all famous masters of pharmacy." George pointed out the key point, took out a piece of parchment from his pocket, and read out a string of names on it: Altida, Damocles and Hetok Dar Gervas..."

   "I remember they all showed up at your wedding." George handed a parchment to Albert and continued: "Cedric thinks their target might not be you, otherwise they couldn't all be pharmacists."

   "I think they must have something to see the pharmacist." Cedric nodded, "but except for Damocles, no one else is at home."

   "It's really unusual, they already have Snape," George said.

"We have to admit that Snape has a high attainment in potions." Fred echoed, "Also, they tortured Damocles with the Cruciatus Curse, and finally used a very strong Oblivion Curse on him, He obviously didn't want his purpose to be exposed."

   "I know who attacked you." Albert said suddenly.

"who?"

   Several people all looked sideways.

   "Bellatrix Lestrange." Albert said without hesitation: "You know, that kind of crazy woman is difficult to guess with prophecy."

   "How do you know?" Angelina asked with wide eyes

   "This is the result of divination."

  Albert glanced at Angelina and explained: "That crazy woman wants to catch and kill me. Maybe that's why she wants to catch you, or she wants to get more information about me from you."

"Of course, the thinking of a madman is always unpredictable. If I were you, I wouldn't take any more risks, especially if you just escaped from their hands. Sometimes it's not always so lucky. Albert gave his final suggestion, "You can train your Defense Against the Dark Arts skills here, and develop a relationship with your boyfriend by the way..."

   As soon as the words fell, there was a whistle in the hall.

   "...sometimes living is more important than anything else. Only by living can you pursue what you want." Albert said meaningfully, "We are all young, and the future is still very long."

   After finishing speaking, he turned his head to George and said, "You go to contact Mundungus Fletcher first, and say that you want to spend Gallon to buy useful news from him, let him organize the news, and..."

   "Buy news?"

  Everyone was a little stunned, apparently not expecting Albert to do this.

"That's right, for a person like Mundungus, you need some bait to help him increase his enthusiasm. A little Gallon can allow us to get the latest and most useful information, and it can also make him actively collect information for us. Why? Wouldn't it be fun?" Albert motioned everyone to be quiet, and continued to make arrangements: "Fred is going to contact Kingsley, we also need more news from the Ministry of Magic."

   "I thought you would use divination to find out Bellatrix's purpose." Lee Jordan said with a strange expression.

   "Divination is not a panacea, and even if you do divination, you may not be able to find a useful answer."

  Being a magic stick for so long, Albert is well aware of the limitations of crystal ball divination, so he has been very careful. After all, a bright future is in front of him, why put himself in danger?

  After the Smith incident, few people could threaten his life.

  Albert had lunch here, and while he was eating and chatting after the meal, he explained Defense Against the Dark Arts to a few people, and taught them their own dueling experience by the way.

   It only took half an hour for everyone to have a new understanding of the wizard's battle.

   "Is that really the case?" Angelina asked with a puzzled face, "But why did you..."

"Didn't I mention it to you?" Albert finished the sentence for her, and accepted with a smile, "Because what I'm teaching you is the basics, and the basics are actually very important. If you don't learn the basics well, it's useless to learn more advanced ones." .”

   "Is this the difference between an amateur and a professional?" Fred couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

   "Can Aurors do what you say?" George asked.

   "A few Aurors are fine, but most Aurors can only be considered average." Albert commented briefly, "Their advantage lies in tacit cooperation, which can improve the combat effectiveness of Aurors."

   "But they were all brought down by you."

  They never forgot the wonderful scene of Albert singled out the Ministry of Magic Auror.

   "They underestimated the enemy, so they paid the price."

   "You are always so humble."

   "Sometimes, I think it's a waste for you not to be a professor." Lee Jordan couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

   “You should write them down in a book too,” Shanna suggested.

   "The Ministry of Magic is unlikely to allow publication of these contents."

   Truman, who had been at the Ministry of Magic for a while, was well aware of the situation there. Books like this would definitely be thrown into the restricted area at Hogwarts, and it would be impossible for them to circulate in the British magical world.

In fact, the progress of the Ministry of Magic in teaching everyone the knowledge of defense against the dark arts is slow, not only because many wizards are not very receptive, but also because the Ministry of Magic actually does not want many wizards to master combat skills, which will bring them more trouble .

   Let people teach everyone Defense Against the Dark Arts, more to appease and buy people's hearts.

  If it wasn't for the Death Eaters making troubles everywhere and making people panic, many senior officials of the Ministry of Magic would not even allow Scrimgeour to do that.

   "It is better to guide than to block, and the most important thing is to guide correctly."

   "The people in the Ministry of Magic actually know it, but they don't want to do that." Truman finished what he wanted to say for Albert.

   "Why?" Angelina asked suspiciously.

   "Because it's troublesome."

  Cedric was deeply touched during his time working in the Ministry of Magic.

"Many people are unwilling to take on this responsibility, whether it is the Ministry of Magic, your lord, or the entire wizarding world, so when the mysterious person rises strongly, the entire wizarding world has become like this." Albert said calmly, "It can only be said that the comeback of the mysterious man exposed many problems."

   "But the Ministry of Magic isn't..."

"The Ministry of Magic can continue to exist because of Dumbledore. They were able to catch so many dark wizards because I provided them with information." Albert signaled everyone to keep quiet, and continued to speak stunned words, " Scrimgeour wanted to fight the You-Know-Who and the Death Eaters because he realized that he might be killed by the You-Know-Who in the line of duty”
