Study Days at Hogwarts

   "They were all brutally killed by Death Eaters in front of the shelter, why was there no one..."

"It's normal, isn't it? The wizards in the British wizarding world haven't exploded yet. After all, too few people died in this wizarding war. Otherwise, how could everyone tolerate the reckless actions of the Death Eaters and take up their wands to fight them?" .”

  Listening to the latest news on the radio at the wizarding watch station, Kenneth couldn't help but speak in the face of doubts from colleagues around him.

   "Too few people died?"

   These words really stimulate people's nerves.

   Several people around looked at Kenneth in surprise, and stared at him with annoyed eyes like how can you say such a thing.

"It's normal for people to die in a war. Can a war of undead be called a war? It's called a fight. Sometimes a fight will kill someone." Kenneth thought that this group of people would be so childish, and they all It was Albert's fault, "Albert protected you too well. If we died as often as the Order of the Phoenix, I don't think you will have such a **** expression now."

   "Does the Order of the Phoenix often die?" Someone asked curiously.

   "Most of the current members of the Order of the Phoenix are surnamed Weasley, what do you think?" Kenneth's meaning was already obvious.

   "The Defense Association is not the Order of the Phoenix."

   "Yeah, that's why there are so many cuties."

  Kenneth looked around at the few people around, and continued: "I remember what Albert said: If you don't explode in despair, you will perish in despair."

   "The current British magic world is gradually dying in despair."

"You should be able to feel that most wizards dare not stand up and resist in order to protect themselves. They can only kneel and silently endure the terror of the mysterious man and the unscrupulous oppression of the Death Eaters. A small number of wizards pin their hopes on Ha Harry, but how could Harry, who is fighting alone, be the opponent of the mysterious man?"

   "So, you just give up on them? Give up those 28 people."

   "It's not that we gave up on them, it was they who gave up on themselves. We reminded them." Kenneth looked at the girl and felt that she shouldn't have joined the Defense Association. This place really doesn't suit her.

   "But we can obviously give them a hand, and the Death Eaters attacked them outside the shelter, as long as we..."

"We will not risk sacrificing the members of the Defense Association to save a group of people who are looking for their own death." Kenneth interrupted flatly, "Even 1 for 28 is a disadvantage, let alone a group of people who are looking for their own death , has no value of being saved at all.”

"you…"

   "Honestly, I wonder how you don't know."

"what do you know?"

  "The number of enemies far exceeds us, so we must awaken people's courage to resist, and let other wizards bravely stand up and fight against the Death Eaters."

   "But this is related to..."

"The best way to wake them up is blood." Kenneth had a cold smile on his face, "We will not tolerate members of the Defense Association fighting Death Eaters, but they are silently watching, waiting to enjoy the food called The sweet fruit of victory."

   "Remember, this war needs dead people. As long as the dead are not your own, then there is no problem. This is also the consensus of the members of the Defense Association, but you don't know it, it's really surprising."

   "So knowing that they are likely to die after leaving the shelter, you also let them die?"

   "We reminded them, they themselves..."

   "Okay Kenneth, stop talking!" Cedric tried to stop the argument, knowing that not everyone was as convinced as they were.

   "I think you should make her realize the reality." Kenneth reminded in a strange tone: "Remember to tell Albert that it will be good for her to transfer your girlfriend to handle logistics."

"I will!"

"etc!"

  Qiu Zhang tried to stop Kenneth, but the latter ignored her and left directly.

"We can't save them, and we can't stop them from leaving. Adults must be responsible for their own actions!" Cedric sighed softly as he looked at his girlfriend who was taken care of so well by him and who was also accompanied by a somewhat naive girlfriend. He took a deep breath and explained: "I know what you mean, but the death of those people is not our fault."

"But, what's the point of rescuing them from Azkaban if they are allowed to die so meaninglessly?" Qiu Zhang still couldn't understand that the deaths of those people were even within Albert's expectation middle.

"You think that way, it's all because Albert is so powerful that you have similar thoughts," Cedric also tried to reverse Qiu's ridiculous thoughts, "I know you think the reason they left the shelter is the environment of that shelter It's too bad, but you need to know how many people we have rescued, and even live a reasonably comfortable life at the headquarters, which requires a lot of expenses every day, where does this money come from, have you ever wondered?" Cedric asked back.

   Qiu Zhang was silent, she was not stupid from Ravenclaw.

   "Kenneth also took out a sum of money, although the money was not much, but...you didn't, not only you, but many members didn't, and they even ignored this problem and took it for granted."

   "So, I'm not eligible?"

"Yes, I'm not qualified." Cedric said cruelly, "But that's not Garen's reason, but that the Defense Association only protects its own people from the very beginning. This is Albert's meaning and our consensus. "

   "Consensus?"

   "Yes, consensus."

"What about the rest?"

   "We will also be willing to give each other a hand, but not everyone is willing to appreciate it, so you can see that 28 people died." Cedric shrugged.

   "But we could have prevented this."

"We will only remind them, but we will not risk the lives of our accomplices. Those who seek death are not worth saving. We will just silently watch them die. Even the members of the Defense Association are the same, do not listen to the advice Those who seek death will be directly given up by everyone.”

   Several people around fell into a brief silence, and suddenly felt that the Defense Association had become very strange.

   "The purpose of the Defense Association is to fight against the mysterious person, and teach everyone how to protect themselves by the way."

   Cedric seemed to see what other people were thinking, and continued: "In the near future, we will all participate in the final battle between Harry and the mysterious man, and no one knows how many people will die in that battle.

  So, now you understand why Albert prioritizes protecting his own people.

   Moreover, our limited resources only allow us to do that. Those **** who just want to hide behind and wait to enjoy the fruits of the final victory, we can give them a bite to eat so that they don't go hungry. Unless you think we should rob muggles and feed a moth? "

   Several people around looked at Cedric with wide eyes, and couldn't believe that this was actually said from his mouth.

   "Remember to apologize to Kenneth." Cedric said seriously, "And I need to remind you that it will only be more cruel in the future."

"What's the meaning?"

"Death Eaters will take revenge. They can't find us. They will only take revenge on those weak and deceitful wizards in the magic world to vent their anger and fear." Cedric said contemptuously, "Maybe, the association also Families will be affected, but if the Death Eaters use your family as a threat, will you betray us?"

"I have no idea."

   "We allow you to do that, but if you do that, you will be given up directly!" Cedric reminded.

"give up?"

"Albert will erase your memory, and implant some escape memories to ensure that the secrets of the Defense Association will not be leaked. Of course, doing so may not be reliable, because the mysterious man has a way to dig out the hidden secrets from your brain. Although it will cause that person to be completely scrapped, the mysterious person definitely doesn't care."

  Everyone looked at Cedric in shock.

   "That's right, Kenneth and I both did it on purpose." Cedric actually admitted directly.

   "Potter's parents were betrayed and died. We must prevent similar things from happening. Think about what terrible things will happen if Death Eaters attack this village one night.

  So don’t think it’s cruel to do that, you need to get used to all of this, if you can’t get used to it, the end result may be tragic death, or the death of people around you. Of course, we also give other people another option, which is to leave the UK and stay away from this **** war, but the members of the Defense Society are willing to stay. "

   Cedric paused, looked at the people present and asked: "Who wants to quit the association and leave the UK directly?"

  …

   "It seems that you convinced her?"

Kenneth appeared out of nowhere, and walked side by side with Cedric on the way to the conference room, "If I were you, I would temporarily tamper with part of her memory, send her away from England to hide, and wait for the war to end Get them back."

   "Qiu is a smart girl." Cedric politely rejected Kenneth's proposal.

"Hagrid didn't let them behead this time, and I'm a little curious what kind of outrageous things those Death Eaters will do?" Kenneth said very lightly, as if those things had nothing to do with him .

   "How long do you think it takes other people to get up their courage?" Cedric didn't answer.

"It's very difficult, very difficult." Kenneth is not very optimistic about this matter, "Even if Albert tries again and again. There are only a few people who are willing to join us, and they really muster up the courage to participate in the fight against the mysterious man." , I’m afraid we have to make another half, and I don’t know how many people will die in the final battle.”

   "If the group of adults are unwilling to take responsibility..." Cedric was unwilling to think about the dire consequences that would cause.

   "It is estimated that at least half a hundred students will die in the final battle." Kenneth sneered, "It is estimated that some of them will cry by then."

   "The situation is not as bad as you think. Our strength is gradually getting stronger, while the Death Eaters are weakening." Cedric murmured.

   "We should now focus on the Death Eaters' next revenge. Albert suspects that they may try to kidnap your family members to threaten you to surrender."

   "I actually envy Fred and George." Cedric felt that he might not be able to persuade his parents to hide.

  Although the Weasleys have all joined the Order of the Phoenix and joined the resistance to the mysterious man, it is actually safer that way, just like they who joined the Defense Association have always been well protected.

   "There are not many smart people in this world." Kenneth said meaningfully: "By the way, after the war is over, do you plan to move here?"

   Cedric was stunned for a moment, probably not expecting that Kenneth would suddenly mention this matter.

   "Probably... yes!" Cedric was not sure, he hadn't actually considered such a distant thing.
