Chapter 1190 The foundation of other people's homes
The window glass was rattling in the rain and snow, and there was a roaring fire in the fireplace. The room was still a little cold, and Albert put in a few more magic stoves to keep warm. Everyone was doing their own things in the living room.
"My dear, is there anything worthy of making you so happy?"
"Cassandra Wabraski seems to be dead." Albert stared at the crystal ball in front of him and said extremely cruel words, "Their whole family is dead."
Katrina, who was flipping through her notes, suddenly raised her head and looked at Albert, "Why are you like this? Do you have any grudge?"
"No grudge." Albert shook his head and said, "We have never met."
"Then how did you..."
"Did the mysterious man kill their family in the end?" Isobel didn't seem surprised by this, but looked as if it was indeed the case.
"Yes, he is a mysterious person after all. You can hardly expect him to abide by the agreement. Cassandra Wabraski lost the bet in the end."
Albert was not surprised by this. It was obviously very difficult to expect the mysterious man to be kind.
"Lost the bet?" Katrina was confused.
"Cassandra probably helped the mysterious man with his divination in exchange for the survival of her family. She actually knew that the probability of the mysterious man abiding by the agreement was low, but she still bet, but obviously she lost the bet in the end. The mysterious man in Cassandra
"After Wablasky's death, her whole family will be dealt with smoothly." Albert briefly explained the general situation.
He actually felt that a powerful fortune teller like Cassandra Wabraski would definitely be able to guess the final outcome, but in order to help her family gain a chance of survival, she did it anyway, but in the end she still failed to escape.
Thinking about it makes me feel inexplicably sad.
"If you didn't hide, you would probably end up like this."
Albert glanced at Katrina and said, "Many wizards in the UK think that the Second Wizarding War has little to do with them, especially those purebloods who think that as long as they don't confront the mysterious man head-on, they won't
There is something wrong, but when it is really affected and dragged down, they will understand how stupid this idea is."
"In order to achieve his goals, the mysterious man will do whatever it takes."
"Is it really?"
Katrina actually understood it, but she didn't feel much about it. The tragedy of Cassandra Wabraski was a wake-up call for her.
"Are you planning to go out?" Isobel turned around and asked.
"Someone has to help them collect the bodies, otherwise they will probably disappear." Albert said softly.
"Someone seems to want her to die?"
"Are you going by yourself?" Isobel asked again.
"With Dumbledore."
"You really are..."
Isobel actually understood what Albert meant. She was planning to use this incident to hit everyone. Maybe they had guessed the result when they learned that Cassandra Wabraski and other relatives were missing, but they didn't see it.
The truth is, they can still hold on to luck and buy their heads into the soil like ostriches, but with a bloody case in front of them, they have to think about the problem.
"Many people are just lucky. If it were me, it would probably be the same!" Albert went to the study to deliver a message to Dumbledore, planning to visit him at Hogwarts and discuss how to handle the matter.
.
Of course, he actually planned to confirm whether Cassandra Wabraski was really dead. This was very important, so Albert roped in Dumbledore.
The old man seemed equally surprised by this incident. He seemed to have thought of something, and the expression on his face was soon replaced by solemnity.
"Do you think Voldemort got a glimpse into the future from Cassandra Vabraski?"
"It's obvious."
Albert drank black tea and spoke calmly.
"Although I don't know what he predicted, the result is actually not difficult to guess.
"Voldemort wants to kill me, you and Scrimgeour." Dumbledore said softly. The three of them were all on Voldemort's blacklist, and they were more hated by Voldemort than Harry.
"That's probably it. I think he probably saw part of your future, or your death date. As for me, I have been hiding in the house protected by the Red Dan Loyalty Curse recently. It is not easy to predict me directly."
Albert put down the tea cup, took out a bag from his pocket, took out a prophecy ball from the bag and handed it to Dumbledore.
"Their bodies were probably dumped in this area. I think it would be better to dispose of them."
"It's really time to remind others. You haven't found the specific location yet, have you?" Dumbledore planned to contact the Ministry of Magic and ask people from the Ministry to help find it.
"Do you think he will know that we are eyeing his baby?" Dumbledore suddenly asked.
"I don't think the probability is too high. If the mysterious man couldn't think of it, it would be basically impossible for him to peek into this part of the future. If Cassandra Wabraski really helped the mysterious man make the prediction, then he would definitely
I will see your death and Scrimgeour's death." Albert thought for a while and reminded: "By the way, there is one more thing."
"What's up?"
"Because of my prophecy, many people have realized that your situation is not good."
"Will Scrimgeour die too?" Dumbledore fell into a brief silence.
"When you die, he will naturally not be able to survive." Albert said calmly, "The mysterious man will definitely be the first to get rid of him. Who will let Scrimgeour get in the way? However, Scrimgeour himself is already psychological.
get ready."
"The Quidditch match should start soon. By the time you finish watching the match, you should be able to find the approximate location over there." Dumbledore nodded and talked about another thing.
"This year's Gryffindor Quidditch captain is Harry, right?" Albert took out his pocket watch and checked the time, planning to go over and watch the game later.
"Thanks to you, Harry has matured a lot and made me feel more at ease." Dumbledore said with a smile, "I have to talk to Scrimgeour about this."
"see you later!"
After Albert left the principal's office, he walked alone through the deserted foyer to the Quidditch pitch.
The game between Gryffindor and Slytherin has begun, and people are cheering for Gryffindor's victory.
However, there was a figure in the audience who was incompatible with the atmosphere here.
"You don't seem very happy." Albert sat down next to him.
"Ah, why are you here?"
After hearing the familiar voice, Hermione suddenly turned her head and looked to her side, and was startled when Albert appeared silently next to her.
"I have something to do with Dumbledore. He said that a Quidditch match was being held here, so I came over to take a look." Albert turned his attention to the Quidditch pitch and looked at the Gryffindor team that scored the goal.
He said happily, "It seems that Harry did a good job. It's rare to see them win so cleanly."
All Gryffindor students hope that their team can beat the Slytherin team hard.
"that……"
Hermione looked at Albert's side face, hesitated for a while, and finally told Albert about Harry using Felixir on Ron.
"Oh, that's it. No wonder you don't look happy." Albert applauded with everyone. Ron was in good condition and successfully prevented Slytherin's pursuer from scoring.
"I prefer that Harry can win with dignity." Hermione looked very troubled, as if she was thinking about how to handle this matter.
"Actually, you can't be sure whether Harry used Felixir." Albert comforted softly: "Maybe, you should wait to talk to them about it after the game, and although you may feel
Is it illegal for Harry to use Felixir on Ron? But there are many such things in the world, and you will often encounter them after you leave school. This world has always been like this."
"But this is illegal. Professor Slughorn said that the use of felixirs is prohibited during competitions."
"Whether it is legal or not is determined by people. As long as it is not discovered, it is legal." Albert corrected: "You are too naive Hermione, think about it, what if the Slytherin team used the Felixir? You
Let's think about the broomsticks used by Slytherin House. Do you think that is really fair? Don't let the law constrain your thinking easily. You have to understand that the so-called law is actually just made by the ruler to restrict it.
For ordinary people, people usually use it to maintain order, not fairness, let alone justice."
"If you can't let it go, go and talk to Harry, maybe there's something hidden." Albert looked at Ron's wonderful saving action, "I think they will definitely give you the answer, generally arrogant people
They disdain to use this method to win."
"But……"
"What you see with your eyes may not be true." Albert reminded, "Communication is the best way to solve problems, rather than entangled in guessing here."
"After this game is over, I will go and talk to Harry about this matter." Hermione suppressed the irritability in her heart, changed the subject and asked, "Do you often do illegal things."
"Ah, do it often, as long as no one knows about it." Albert shrugged nonchalantly and said, "There is a saying, rules are dead, people are alive, there is really no need to care too much
Those things, and if you want to ask anything, just ask."
"Are you really going to recruit people in the school?"
"Yes, there is indeed such a plan." Albert did not deny this matter, "At least that is more reliable. Although the level of black magic is a bit low, it will be much better after some training."
"But... why?"
"Prepare for the future." Albert said, looking sideways at Hermione.
"The future is bad? The last few years?"
"Well, it's very bad. The situation may get completely out of control next year. You'd better be mentally prepared." Albert smiled and invited, "I remember that you should be an adult and you can consider joining the Defense Association. Well, this year I
I forgot to send you a birthday present."
"I don't care about these things." Hermione shook her head, "I care more about what will happen next year."
"The time has not come yet. There are some things that will not benefit you from knowing in advance. You will naturally know them later." Albert did not intend to reveal too much information.
"Mysterious." Hermione hated to be mysterious, "Then why did you come to Dumbledore?"
"Let's help collect the body of Cassandra Wabraski, and make sure she is dead." Albert did not hide this matter, it was not a big deal anyway.
"The one from "Looking Beyond the Fog to See the Future"?" Hermione remembered having read about this incident in the newspaper. "Did a mysterious person really kidnap her?"
"right."
"She's dead?"
"Probably, after all, she was kidnapped by a mysterious man. She is not as knowledgeable as Ollivander, and she is too old to withstand the hardship. It would not be surprising if she died."
"Mr. Ollivander is still alive." Hermione heard another shocking news.
"As long as you have a normal mind, you will know the value of Ollivander, and he himself is very knowledgeable." Albert suddenly stood up and applauded with everyone, "Okay, the game is over, I think I should go."
"that……"
"Is there anything else?" Albert stopped and asked.
"I want my family to leave the UK."
"It's a wise choice. Britain is indeed not very safe now." Albert agreed with Hermione's approach.
"Can you help me."
"Sometimes it's more troublesome to have a relationship with me." Albert looked at the expression on Hermione's face, sighed softly and suggested, "You can go back and spend the last Christmas with them. As for whether to tamper with them
You decide for yourself, anyway, I have not tampered with my family’s memory, and I also believe that you can survive this wizarding war."
"Thank you."
Hermione thanked Albert and hurried to the Gryffindor dressing room.
At this moment, there was a crashing sound from the commentary platform, followed by Professor McGonagall's scolding.
Albert regained his sight, let himself blend into the chaotic crowd, and disappeared.
