Study Days at Hogwarts

  Chapter 1309 Acts of justice

  Looking at what happened while he was not in the UK, Albert couldn't help feeling that the mysterious man had also imitated his bad habits and became more insidious than before.

  The current change seems to be caused by his butterfly flapping its wings.

   That's right, if anyone is hanged and beaten in turn, they will be careful if they are not dead.

   It is not incomprehensible that Voldemort, who has been beaten many times, has become "smart".

  After all, Voldemort used to rely more on his own strength to deter the enemy and his subordinates, rather than to use his brain.

  Although Voldemort lacks intelligence in some respects, it doesn't mean he isn't smart.

"The difficulty of defeating the Dark Lord seems to have increased a lot invisibly." Albert murmured, "However, the current situation is not too bad. Judging from the reactions of the three of Harry, it has already It’s not what it used to be.”

  As for Harry, Hermione and Ron headed to Godric's Hollow, he was not surprised.

It's where Harry was born, where his family died, and Harry wanted to see it, and it's normal to visit the family's graves, not to mention where Bathilda Bagshot lives, and she knows a lot about Dumbledore secret.

   "Missing?"

  Albert put down Sirius' letter, got up and opened the window, took out his wand and summoned the Patronus to deliver a message to Sirius.

  The three of Harry are safe, and they are not missing as Sirius said.

  Of course, Albert could understand the concerns of the Order of the Phoenix. After the three of Harry went to Godric's Hollow, a large number of Death Eaters appeared near the headquarters of the Order of the Phoenix. Anyone with a little brain could guess what was going on, and it was not normal to worry about their safety.

  Voldemort, who almost killed Harry, was probably mad with anger.

  At the beginning, not letting his Death Eaters use Avada Kedavra to directly deal with Harry was definitely the biggest mistake Voldemort made in his life.

  The knock on the door distracted Albert's attention. He turned his head to look at the figure appearing outside the door, as if he was a little surprised that the other person was still there.

   "Didn't you go out to exercise with everyone?"

   "Bathilda Bagshot is dead!"

  Sanna said and put a new book, together with a piece of parchment, on the desk in front of Albert.

   "I know, but I don't know Bathilda Bagshot that well."

   Albert looked away from "The Life and Lies of Albus Dumbledore", looked up at Shannah and asked, "Are you... angry?"

   "A little bit, look at that note..."

  Sanna pointed to the parchment and said, "I heard that people from the Order of the Phoenix found it when they went to help Bathilda Bagshot clean up her funeral."

   Albert reached out and picked up the parchment, and read the contents of the note softly:

  Dear Barty, thank you for your help, here is a new book, I hope you like it. You said everything, even if you don't remember it now.

  —Rita.

   "Did you already guess it?"

  Sanna noticed Albert's reaction and suddenly realized something.

"Well, I've read "The Life and Lies of Albus Dumbledore" a long time ago, and I can probably guess what Rita did." Albert sandwiched the parchment into the book, "Like It's obviously unlikely that Bathilda Bagshot would tell someone like Rita Skeeter Dumbledore's secret."

   "Don't look at me like that. In fact, as long as you have a normal mind, you should be able to guess that the guy must have used some kind of illegal method."

   "Are you calling me stupid?" Shanna stared at Albert.

   "It's not that they are stupid, but that they don't care, or they don't want to think deeply about it." Albert corrected, "Many people are like this. They only care about the unknown secrets Rita digs up to satisfy their curiosity."

   "I remember abusing Veritaserum enough to send her to Azkaban," Shanna said suddenly.

   "Without evidence, it is meaningless to stand up and accuse Rita Skeeter." Albert reminded.

   "Is that parchment considered evidence?"

  Sanna felt that Rita should be taught a lesson and let her get what she deserved. That guy was as disgusting as Gilderoy Lockhart.

"I'm afraid it will be difficult. Bathilda Bagshot is dead and killed by the mysterious man." Albert tapped the "Life and Lies of Albus Dumbledore" with his finger, "However, you Let Lee Jordan talk about it on the radio, and by the way, that note from Rita, if we ever beat You-Know-Who, there's always a chance that she's going to be made public. But, It’s hard to say whether Rita Skeeter can be sent to prison in the end, after all, the era of Scrimgeour has passed, and in this chaotic era, there are too many people doing evil everywhere.”

   "No wonder everyone is going to be a villain." Shanna sighed softly. She felt that it would be better if she expected the Ministry of Magic to sanction Rita Skeeter and taught her a lesson herself.

   "The law never upholds justice, but order." Albert seemed to see through Shanna's mind.

   "You look like a philosopher, and don't always peep at other people's thoughts." Shanna looked away and smiled wryly, "I'm just a little angry, I haven't thought about it..."

"Just do what you want." Albert said calmly: "If you are really angry and want to teach Rita Skeeter a lesson, you can also beat her up at night and beat her up It doesn't matter if you go to St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Injuries and Injuries for a few days, no one will pursue this matter anyway, and I bet countless people in the British wizarding world will applaud this."

   "That's not like what you would say." Shanna said in an exaggerated tone, "You actually want to lure me to commit a crime."

"If you think so, we never take the initiative to do evil, but we don't mind doing some acts of justice." Albert shrugged and hinted, "This is why I formed the Defense Association. Be like-minded companions.”

   "I feel like you're not telling the truth."

  Shanna felt that Albert didn't really care about these issues, just like he didn't care much about the situation of the students in the shelter, and she also heard something else from the other party's words.

   "Oh, I let you see through my secret, do you think I should silence it?" Albert said jokingly.

   "Thank you, I feel much better." Shanna suddenly said, "What are you going to drink?"

   "Black tea." Albert said.

   "By the way, take some time to deal with the accumulated problems during your absence." Shanna pointed to the folder on the table, turned and left.

Albert picked up the folder casually and began to flip through the contents of the parchment. They were all problems that the Defense Association would encounter. Some of them were not easy to solve. Shanna would leave it to Albert to deal with, but the problems are usually not There will be too many, but it will be very troublesome, or he will need to finalize it himself.

   Albert picked up the quill, and after thinking about it, he will write the solution in the blank space below.

   "What's next?"

   Shanna asked after reading the solution given by Albert.

   "Let's take a look around, and strengthen the defensive magic around the village by the way."

  After putting down the teacup, Albert and Shanna walked around the village.

   "There are more and more people in the association."

   Seeing a few unattractive houses built around him, Albert said softly, "Maybe a wizarding village similar to Hogsmeade can really be formed in the future."

   "I don't think it's enough to rely on the association alone to support them," Shanna reminded kindly, "We don't know when this war will end yet."

"Most of them have just graduated, and you can't expect them to earn enough to support themselves?" Albert didn't think there was any problem, looked at Shanna, and said calmly, "And, I want everyone to follow The ferocious black wizards are fighting, they must be fed to have the strength to fight."

   "Although this is the truth, can't you put it another way?"

  Sanna was a little speechless. It sounded like she was recruiting cannon fodder.

  Perhaps, this is the truth of Albert's formation of the Defense Association. But those who are willing to join the association, in fact, just want to contribute their own strength to resist the mysterious person.

   "What's the other way around?"

  A voice came from the side, and the entrance to the village was opened. A group of people headed by Fred walked in quickly, and Dobby the house-elf followed behind the team.

   "How is it?" Shanna changed the subject and asked, "Have you found the dementor?"

   "It's not just dementors, we also fought a search party and saved two Muggle wizards who were just captured."

   Speaking of fighting the search and arrest team, everyone seemed extremely excited. Obviously, after gaining power, they all enjoyed the thrill of gaining power.

   "That group of search-and-hunt teams were terrible. After being taken aback by us, they actually surrendered themselves."

  Lee Jordan smiled and took out the spoils of their trip from his pocket.

  They didn't kill the Snatchers, they took their wands.

   Of course, one of the unlucky ones got their front teeth kicked out by the lucky one they saved.

"You confiscated their wands, so what if you don't surrender." Angelina couldn't help but rolled her eyes and said, "It's also unlucky for those search teams to encounter you. Beaten."

   "I saw whoever of you greeted his crotch, and that person screamed so terribly."

   In their eyes, the search and arrest team was the minion of the mysterious man. It was not a pity to die if they exchanged other people's lives for Garon's scum.

  The most important thing is that the few people rescued are peripheral members of the Defense Association, which makes everyone feel a sense of accomplishment, and it is a great victory for them.

   As for bullying the few with more?

   No, no, no, as for the righteous group fight against the villains.

   "By the way, we also went to another shelter for other Muggle wizards. It looked very bad there. It's hard to imagine that those Muggle wizards are more like a group of refugees than those students."

  George casually mentioned this matter to Albert. They actually had a hard time understanding what those adult wizards were doing. They really couldn't figure out how they made the place where they lived like a garbage dump.

"They are probably frightened and dare not leave the shelter easily, and the help we can provide is limited." Albert stopped and said to the Weasley twins, "If they want to leave the UK, I can help them They leave, and maybe they'll be better off in other parts of Europe. At least there's no Muggle-Born Registration Board, and no search parties."

   "However, this is not a gratuitous help, we will charge fifty Galleons, and they only need to pay it back in the next ten years."

   "In ten years?"

   Not only George, but everyone else around him was a little puzzled about Albert's intentions.

   "What we want is not their Galleons, but we don't support getting something for nothing." Albert explained, "That will make them develop bad habits."

   "But didn't you provide food to those students?"

"That's because those students haven't graduated yet, they can't use Apparition, let alone get rid of traces, and use magic in other places without being noticed. We can only help them, but the people in the other shelter are all These adults, they are not children who need to be fed, and as adults, they need to be responsible for themselves, rather than expecting mercy from others, which is undoubtedly quite ridiculous."
