Study Days at Hogwarts

  Chapter 878 Casually talking

   "Harry mentioned to me in the letter that you were attacked." Sirius didn't answer that, but talked about another thing that he had always cared about.

  Albert turned his head to look at Harry, who scratched his cheek with his hand, with an embarrassed expression, and probably didn't expect Sirius to tell Albert about this directly.

"Yes, I suspect that Peter Pettigrew did it." Albert looked away from Harry, and said to Sirius in the double-sided mirror, "For this reason, I also made a prophecy, although it was not accurate. , but the finger does point to Peter Pettigrew, and I have reason to believe he did something good."

   Hermione looked up at Albert, with deep worry in her eyes. She knew that Peter Pettigrew entered Azkaban because of Albert. If the other party really wanted to seek revenge on Albert and murdered him because of this, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Sirius kept his mouth open and stood there blankly, not knowing what he was thinking. After a long silence, his voice came out again from the double-sided mirror: "Can you help Harry with a divination, I want to know who it is Throw his name into the Goblet of Fire?"

  Albert raised his eyebrows slightly and asked, "You want to ask me for divination?"

   "That's right!" Sirius nodded, this is his responsibility as a godfather, he can't know that Harry may be in danger, but do nothing, and watch Harry face the coming danger alone.

"Actually, without divination, it can be guessed that the minions of the mysterious man threw Potter's name into the Goblet of Fire." Albert picked up Crookshanks to prevent it from knocking over the double-sided mirror with its claws. You saved a fortune."

   "How can you be so sure."

  Although Albert had said that Voldemort might be planning against him in the Triwizard Tournament, Harry still couldn't understand why Voldemort would do that,

   Albert looked at Harry with the eyes of a fool.

   "Is there a problem?" Harry was even more puzzled.

"Harry, Albert just said that Peter Pettigrew sneaked up on him. Since Peter Pettigrew did it, it's obvious who threw your name into the Goblet of Fire." Hermione looked at Harry quite speechlessly. , I don’t know whether he really didn’t understand, or he was deliberately pretending to be confused.

  After listening to Albert's words, Hermione felt that this was a conspiracy arranged by Voldemort. Moreover, Albert's guesses were always accurate, so she had to consider the results of his guesses.

"Voldemort is very likely to do something to you during the Triwizard Tournament, you should be more careful." Sirius's eyes showed concern for Harry, "The result of the Triwizard Tournament is not important, everything matters." Make your own safety your first priority.”

"But…"

"If Peter Pettigrew wanted to prevent Albert from participating in the Triwizard Tournament only because he participated, your chances of winning the prize are very low. There is no doubt that Albert's participation may disrupt Voldemort's plans , I think they probably have other plans." Sirius interrupted directly, "I know what you are doubting, but I don't think it is necessary for Albert to deceive you."

   On the other side of the double-sided mirror, Sirius sighed softly. Even if he didn't believe Albert, he wouldn't show it in front of the other party, let alone Albert really had no reason to do that.

   In Sirius' view, Harry has no value in being deceived by Albert.

  The most important thing is that many of what Albert said at the beginning have come true, such as Harry being involved in the Triwizard Tournament.

Sirius approached Albert, in fact, hoping that the other party could help take care of Harry in his spare time, but he also realized that he obviously had no reason to ask Albert to do that, unless he was willing to spend a large sum of Gallon to hire Harry. If Burt helps, maybe the other party will take care of Harry for Garen's sake.

  Sirius really planned to do this at first, but Harry was by his side, so he had to choose to postpone this matter to discuss with Albert.

   "But why did Voldemort do this?" Harry asked confused.

   Sirius was also silent, he was actually thinking about this question, why did Voldemort do this?

   If Voldemort really wanted to murder Harry in the Triwizard Tournament, it would make sense, but there was no need to involve Albert. In the eyes of Sirius, Albert is an extremely dangerous guy. None of the hapless people he targets has a good end, look at Peter, and Ludo Bagman who is still hiding around.

  To be honest, Sirius doubts that Peter really has the ability to attack Albert?

  He even suspected that Peter might try to do that, but Albert found out, and then he set up a trap to test someone, such as Mad-Eye Moody. Although Sirius had dealt with Moody before, it was a long time ago, and the two parties were not familiar.

  So, compared to Mad-Eye, Sirius is actually more willing to believe in Albert, the young man who can predict the future.

In Sirius' view, Albert's intuition and observation skills are simply terrifying. He was arrested by the other party's arrangement and exchanged for money. Albert is a student.

Under the watchful eyes of Harry, Hermione, and Sirius, Albert calmly stated his "speculation", "It's very simple, after the mysterious man is resurrected, I'm going to take you, the savior, to sacrifice the flag. Don't you think it's a good idea?" My idea, because of your relationship, the mysterious man has fallen into such a mess. Killing you personally to wash away the shame is undoubtedly what the mysterious man must do, so that his servants can feel awe of him. Perhaps, the mysterious man still I will fight you in a pretense, and then kill you in front of the Death Eaters. Not only will you avenge yourself, but you will also prove that your savior is a joke, and you will be able to regroup other Death Eaters in a short time. Quite a few."

   "Mysterious Man will be resurrected?" Hermione screamed in shock, but fortunately, Albert was enchanted by the magic around her, preventing the scream from spreading.

"There are indications that something terrible is about to happen." Albert put his hand on Hermione's shoulder, signaling her to be quiet first, "I think it's perfectly reasonable to consider the worst of things, even if you don't have to predict that I will It can also be guessed, you probably don't know, there is actually a similar prophecy on the side of the horse people."

   "What prophecy?" The three said in unison.

"The centaurs think that people in the wizarding world are just spending a short period of peace between two wars." Albert looked at the puzzled Harry with a foolish look: "As long as you use your brains a little, you will realize Another wizarding war is approaching, maybe in the past few years, even if I don't tell you, you can probably guess what caused this wizarding war!"

   "So, after Voldemort's resurrection, it will trigger the second wizard war?" Blake muttered softly. He felt that Albert's speculation was reasonable.

   "But, this is just speculation?" Harry said confused.

"Harry, I think you'd better believe that it won't do you any harm." Hermione whispered, "In fact, you haven't noticed at all that Albert's predictions have basically come true, and the last time I remember you saying that Trelawney gave you a similar prophecy, and I remember it as if..."

Hermione got a notebook from nowhere, opened it and read out a passage recorded in it: "The Dark Lord lies there alone, friendless, abandoned by his subordinates, his servant has been chained for twelve years, The servant will break free from his chains and set off to join his master. With the servant's help, the Dark Lord will rise again, stronger and more terrifying than ever."

   "Hermione, I thought you didn't believe in prophecies," Harry muttered.

   "I just don't trust Professor Trelawney, at least she was a big liar when she taught us." Hermione had a bad impression of Professor Trelawney.

"Oh, by the way, there is one more thing. Last time, when you divined Peter for me, the man you saw in the crystal ball was Barty Crouch." Sirius said to Albert: "Old Bar Ty Crouch's son died long ago in Azkaban."

   "Did in Azkaban Prison a long time ago?" Harry repeated suspiciously, "But what you mean, that Barty Crouch Jr. is still alive?"

   "Peter can escape by feigning death, why can't little Barty?" Sirius thinks that little Barty's survival may have something to do with old Barty.

   "Barty Jr. is a Death Eater?" Harry asked suddenly.

   "Yes, he was a Death Eater, and later Moody was caught in Azkaban Prison."

"Maybe, you can control Moody, then give him some veritaserum, and ask him if he is a fake, or you can go to Batty's house to see." Albert gave this suggestion irresponsibly, "Perhaps, you can have unexpected surprises."

   "But, didn't you say that Professor Moody helped you name it..." Hermione was a little confused, but quickly figured out the reason, and looked up at Albert in astonishment.

   "Actually, I think your suggestion is good." Sirius interrupted. "But...Dumbledore probably won't do that. Moody is his old friend. Before Dumbledore sees any flaws in Moody, Dumbledore will definitely not use Veritaserum or photographic truth on him. It's disrespectful to an old friend."

  Albert shrugged and said irresponsibly, "I'm just talking casually, you don't need to pay attention."

"You're not talking casually." The corner of Sirius' mouth twitched slightly, "As for whether Barty Crouch has abnormalities, I will give Dumbledore some advice, he should pay special attention to Barty Crouch Case."

   "Okay, do you have anything else to do? I'll go back to sleep without me." Albert covered a yawn and said.

"I hope you can help take care of Harry. I mean, I hope you can help predict the content of the three items and let us know. Of course, I will pay enough. Anyway, you also want to know the first item. Isn't it the content?" Sirius hesitated for a moment, and said to Albert in front of Harry.

   "Sirius, you don't need it at all..." Harry didn't want Sirius to waste Gallon for him.

"I have already told Harry for free, some of my guesses." Albert yawned again, and continued, "According to the past events and the tips given by Barty Crouch, the first event It should be some kind of magical creature classified as XXXXX."

   "Mystical creatures of category XXXXX," Sirius frowned, the number and types of magical creatures of category XXXXX are not too many.

"I'll discuss it with Dumbledore to see if I can let Mu... Forget it, Lupine and I will go over to help you with the expedited training. We will never let you go directly to the battlefield. Albert, do you need it? "

   "I don't need it." Albert shook his head.

   "That's right. With your ability, you might not be afraid to face the fire dragon alone." Sirius still agrees with Albert's strength.

"I suggest that you take Potter into the woods to see the world, there are many interesting little guys in it," Albert gave some suggestions to Sirius, "Acromantula is a good choice, as long as you are careful not to It would be nice to be ambushed by those beasts, and you can also collect the venom of the acromantula to sell. I remember the high price of one hundred Galleons per pint for that thing, and let Harry kill a few acromantia himself. Ferocious magical creatures won't be afraid. Also, don't tell Hagrid that I gave you the idea, those spiders are descendants of the spiders that Hagrid used to breed."

   "My God, Hagrid kept a colony of acromantula in the Forbidden Forest." Hermione thought this was ridiculous.

"To be precise, Hagrid didn't count those acromantids as being raised by Hagrid." Albert corrected, "He just released two acromantulas, and then a nest of spiders appeared on his own. Many wizards suspected that In the Forbidden Forest there is a farm for acromantia."

   "Acromantula farm?" Harry thought that he should also take Ron along with him, so that he could calm down.

   "If it's okay, I'll go back to sleep first." Albert danced and yawned, got up and walked away.

   "Has he killed an acromantula before?" Sirius asked curiously.

   "I heard Fred and the others boast that Albert broke into the Forbidden Forest when he was in the first grade, and brought down a large group of acromanders alone with a guardian tree." Hermione recalled.

  Sirius opened his mouth wide in shock, he felt that he was mischievous enough before, but he didn't expect that the one in front of him was even bolder than himself.

"I think his idea is good." Sirius nodded and said, "I will discuss this matter with Lupine later, it is still necessary to take you to see the world, although I think you may not be afraid, After all, you have the experience of facing the basilisk before, but there is no harm in experiencing this kind of thing more."

   "My God, what do they think acromantula are?" Looking at the double-sided mirror that had been restored to its original shape, Harry couldn't help complaining to Hermione: "Will you keep shearing the wool for the next year?"
