Study Days at Hogwarts

Chapter 1455: Who takes the blame?

Late at night, after hearing familiar footsteps coming from the corridor outside, Ron, who was still asleep, hurriedly got out of bed, pushed away and said to the two people who were kissing each other goodbye in the corridor: "Harry, Ginny, you guys Where did you go?"

Ginny was very dissatisfied with Ron's disappointment. After giving him a fierce look, she turned around and was about to return to her room. However, she found that the door of the next room was suddenly opened and Hermione, wearing a nightgown, walked out.

 “What’s wrong?”

Harry felt quite uncomfortable being stared at all the time, so he tried to change the subject to divert everyone's attention.

“Just now, Bill was ambushed by a group of Death Eaters and was seriously injured.” Ron hesitated for a moment and said.

"Don't worry, the situation is not that bad." Hermione explained to the two of them: "However, thanks to Harry's dragon leather jacket, Bill's injury is not serious, at least it is not life-threatening. Madam Pomfrey has already I came here once and helped Bill treat his black magic injuries."

Hearing this, Ginny's expression softened a little.

 It’s good that Bill is fine.

"what on earth is it?"

Harry thought it was strange that Bill was injured. Since the Order of the Phoenix learned advanced ideas from Albert and had detection pocket watches as assistance, it was almost difficult to be ambushed by Death Eaters.

"Some things can't be explained for a while." Hermione shook her head.

"Can we stop staying here and go into the room to talk, it's so cold in here." When Ron opened the door and invited the two of them in, after noticing that Ginny was walking a little strangely, he couldn't help but frown and asked, "Are you okay? Right Ginny?"

 “I’m fine.”

"Okay, it's already very late now. Let's go back and rest first. If you have anything to do, we can talk tomorrow." Hermione interrupted Ron and asked Ginny to go back to her room to rest, without letting Ron continue to ask questions.

 “What happened before?”

 After returning to the room, Harry also did not give Ron a chance to ask questions, taking the lead and firmly taking the initiative in his own hands.

 After Ron lay back on the bed, he told Harry what had happened previously.

 “They’re in a hurry!” Harry muttered.

"What?"

Ron's expression was stunned, and he didn't understand Harry's words for a while.

“We have been slow to take the bait, and the Death Eaters are now starting to get anxious, thanks to Albert’s warning.”

If it weren't for Albert's warning and the Death Eaters' madness, the Defense Association and the Order of the Phoenix might have suffered heavy losses.

 To this day, members of the Order of the Phoenix and the Defense Association have sacrificed their lives in this wizarding war, and it’s all thanks to Albert.

"No wonder he thinks my progress is slow. Maybe I should work harder."

Recalling what they talked about last time, Harry couldn't help but feel a little dazed. He also knew that the sooner the war ended, the fewer people would die.

"That's not your fault Harry, the Fire Curse itself is difficult to learn. Not everyone can master all magic as easily as Anderson." Ron quickly comforted, "Just because that guy thinks it's easy doesn't mean it's true. It's easy for us." "I know, go to sleep, I'm a little tired now!" Harry took off his clothes, glanced at Ron, closed his eyes and prepared to rest.

To be honest, he felt a little regretful and should have waited until the morning to come back.

The next morning, after Fred and George learned that Bill was injured, they hurried over to visit Bill who was still unconscious, and expressed their generosity when only Harry's dragonskin jacket saved Bill. He is willing to lend them his dragon skin protective gear for temporary use.

 After all, Fred and George usually stay at the association headquarters and rarely have the opportunity to go out, so the probability of actually encountering danger is low.

 As for the black magic defense items.

They are not in short supply, and are willing to provide the Order of the Phoenix with a batch of material support worth no less than a thousand galleons.

 This is undoubtedly quite generous.

Even the Weasleys are worried about their son's condition. After all, it is one thing to support the confrontation with the mysterious man, but it is another thing to destroy your family's fortune.

Moreover, the shop does not belong to them, and the Weasleys never want Fred, George and Albert to get into trouble because of it.

"We have already informed Albert about this matter in advance, and he agreed." George could see his mother's worry at a glance, and quickly comforted him: "Actually, Albert also knows that everyone will not just let the gangster go. Wizards wreak havoc.”

 “Is that guy really going to let it go?”

Moody frowned. He knew very well that the members of the Order of the Phoenix alone could not stop the Death Eaters' atrocities. They needed Albert and his power to compete with the mysterious man. Otherwise, rash actions would only cause heavy losses to the Order of the Phoenix. .

"A large number of Muggles have been massacred so far. If this continues, it may cause big trouble." Kingsley understands Muggles better than most Muggle wizards. "Those lunatics seem to intend to kill Muggles as well." Get dragged into this **** war."

"You should pass this news to the International Federation of Wizards instead of trying to solve the problem yourself." George gave them ideas. This was actually what Albert meant. They alone could not solve the problem at all.

“It’s useless. The International Confederation of Wizards doesn’t care about the turbulent situation in the UK. They even take pleasure in the situation in the UK.”

It was not that Kingsley had not contacted the International Federation of Wizards and provided them with numerous crimes committed by the Death Eaters, but this federation, which was always very authoritative, actually ignored this, as if they were collectively blind and pretending something. Nothing happened.

"Then publish it in major newspapers and force them to help solve the problem in the UK. After all, many of the dark wizards causing trouble in the UK come from other countries. The UK should not be responsible for this disaster alone, and we cannot afford it." George I felt that what Albert said he couldn't afford was not to defeat the group of Death Eaters, but to solve the subsequent problems caused by the Death Eaters.

"Can…"

“Even if we defeat those dark wizards, what should we do with them?” George’s expression was particularly strange when he talked about this matter: “Should we just kill them all?”

"This is not possible. Once Albert starts massacring the Death Eaters, the mysterious man will probably massacre us. At present, the two sides are deterring each other to prevent the killing from spreading completely."

George knew that this was also the reason why Albert was reluctant to take action. The guy was not too keen on killing people. Otherwise, with Albert's ability, all the Death Eaters still jumping around outside would have died long ago.

Of course, this may also be because Albert is unwilling to bear these sins, especially after seeing the ugly faces of most people, he no longer has much hope for many people. This is why Albert is willing to support the Order of the Phoenix. s reason.

 At present, this group of people is already the majority of the force that he can unite. Even if there are more in the future, they will not be too many. There is no need to continue to waste time on them.
