Barty Crouch, Director of the Department of International Magical Exchange and Cooperation, is dead?
Killed by Peter Pettigrew?
"Ah, this...ahem..."
Seeing the front-page news on the Daily Prophet, Albert sprayed the milk he just drank on the newspaper.
"What's wrong?"
Everyone at the table looked up, they rarely saw Albert lose his composure.
In fact, it was not the news that Barty Crouch was dead that shocked Albert, but that Dumbledore actually cornered Voldemort in Crouch's house and killed him.
Although Albert had long known that some changes might occur, such changes were too big. When did Principal Dumbledore become so brave?
"Ahem, it's nothing. I saw some news that surprised me."
Albert put down the newspaper, took out a handkerchief from his pocket, wiped the corners of his mouth, and began to read the front page news of the Daily Prophet.
Dumbledore went to Crouch's house to block Voldemort, which is really surprising.
Albert had no idea that Dumbledore would suddenly go to Crouch's house because he was talking nonsense to Percy at the Christmas party, which caused Dumbledore to pick up on something and lead to some wonderful misunderstandings.
.
The result was actually correct, Percy's boss was gone, and his next job was as the assistant to the Minister of Magic.
This wave of Dumbledore's operations can be called illegal operations. Albert doesn't know what impact it will have. Anyway, Dumbledore clicked away Voldemort's snake.
Albert realized this when he opened his task panel, looked up the task "The Destruction of the Dark Lord", and found that his current contribution had increased significantly.
"It seems that the principal made careful arrangements and the mysterious man did not lose unjustly." Albert muttered in his heart.
In fact, when Voldemort's Nagini was beheaded by Dumbledore with the Sword of Gryffindor, most of the blame fell on Albert's head.
Last time, Albert helped Dumbledore predict the Horcrux and directly exposed the snake. Dumbledore came directly to the door and naturally took care of the snake first.
As for Voldemort, that thing can't be killed, but Dumbledore doesn't know if he has revealed the secret of Voldemort's creation of Horcruxes.
If Voldemort knew that Dumbledore was trying to destroy his Horcruxes, things might get very troublesome next.
"Eat breakfast first, and look at it after you're done. Cold food doesn't taste good!" Sansa reminded with a frown.
"Sorry." Albert muttered, quickly cleared away the food on the table, and then took the copy of the "Daily Prophet" and went to the hall to continue reading. Isobel came to him at some point.
"What's wrong?" Isobel asked, something must have happened to make Albert lose his temper.
"Barty Crouch, Director of the Department of International Magical Exchange and Cooperation, is dead." Albert handed the newspaper to Isobel.
The latter also frowned after briefly reading the news in the newspaper.
"It's a coincidence. I suspect that Dumbledore actually noticed something was wrong." Isobel's slender fingers ran across the newspaper, "The dark wizard mentioned above is also very suspicious. It is probably..."
"Yes, you must have guessed it right. Alas, the whole of Britain will not be at peace." Albert sighed softly and complained, "Harry Potter will become the fourth warrior, and he is indeed the mysterious man."
’s handiwork.”
"There are also minions of the mysterious man in Hogwarts Castle?" Isobel suddenly looked up at Albert. After making sure that the other party knew about it, he said to himself: "According to the law of Defense Against the Dark Arts Professor, there is a problem, so
The minion of the mysterious man is your new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor? I remember he was attacked by a sneak attack on the first day of school at Hogwarts? It seems that you have already suspected the other party, but with your character, how could you not give Dumbledore a little more
hint?"
"Mad-Eye Moody is the principal's old friend?" Albert explained: "Dumbledore may have suspected it, but before the other party revealed a fatal flaw, Dumbledore would not do anything excessive to him. After all,
We are old friends. Certain methods were used and mistakes were made, and even Dumbledore is not willing to bear the consequences."
"What's more..." Albert suddenly smiled, "People like Dumbledore are actually more willing to believe in their own judgment. You and I are the same people."
"So, Dumbledore has figured it out in his own way. Is it okay to be serious about Mad-Eye Moody?" Isobel did not deny this. In fact, most geniuses have similar problems. They are very confident, even overconfident.
.
"No, Dumbledore will still be suspicious. He can be sure that there may be a spy hidden in Hogwarts. Before the spy is found out, everyone will be suspicious."
"That's quite clear. He actually dares to participate in the Triwizard Tournament."
Isobel somewhat disliked Gryffindor's adventurous spirit. Although she also knew that Albert must have been fully prepared, she still hated Albert for taking risks. She was very afraid that Albert would be in danger.
She doesn't want to be like her mother at all.
"The other party's target must be Harry Potter, not me. As long as I'm careful and don't get affected, there will be no problem. When the time comes, I will definitely drink the Felixir first and be fully prepared before participating in the third project.
.”
Albert was not worried about his own safety. If Barty Crouch Jr. dared to come and cause trouble for him, he would not mind sending him away at all.
No, it should be said that Albert has already prepared to send little Barty away. After all, it is an important experience package.
"You should have confidence in me. With my current strength, there are actually very few wizards who can really threaten me." Albert comforted softly.
"If it were another ten years, I would definitely not doubt what you said."
"You can do it now, too." Albert said, "Don't forget, I already had considerable strength when I was in second grade, and it's been many years now."
"Although I have great confidence in you now, you'd better be careful yourself. Gryffindor students have the habit of being reckless." Isobel's eyes were soft, and she kissed Albert's cheek and said, "
Don't make me worry, okay?"
Isobel went home. Although there were house elves helping Mrs. McDougal prepare food, she would still go back to show up and sometimes talk to Mrs. McDougal about Crouch.
"I always feel like you are talking about something ulterior." Nia said, looking at Albert who was flipping through the newspaper.
"Well, bad omens have appeared. I'm afraid that Britain will no longer be safe after a while." Albert handed the "Daily Prophet" to Nia and said, "After the school holidays, we will send it to Nia.
You get on the plane and leave the UK."
"Compared with this, I care more about when you dance with me." Nia put down the newspaper and asked: "And visiting Hogwarts."
