Chapter 1050： the secret behind the lie

  Chapter 1050 The Secret Behind the Lies

  After the news of ten Death Eaters escaped from Azkaban collectively was spread through the "Daily Prophet", the entire British magic world was completely blown up.

   To wizards and wizards in the wizarding world, Death Eaters are almost as feared as Voldemort.

   Back then, under Voldemort's reign of terror, the Death Eaters committed countless unforgivable crimes. They were the most vicious dark wizards.

  After the "Daily Prophet" reported on the Azkaban prison escape incident, it caused dissatisfaction among many people, because the newspaper concealed the truth about the Death Eaters' prison escape, and the page occupying the front page was full of nonsense.

   For this reason, many wizards sent "kind" letters of greeting to the editor of the "Daily Prophet" in order to vent their inner anxiety and uneasiness, and more people silently chose to ignore the truth behind the escape.

   To the Hogwarts students who tuned in to Wizard's Watch on Christmas Eve, it was a major shock. From the very beginning, the wizard watch station did not lie to deceive the audience, but told them the truth very calmly, but the truth was too cruel, and many people were unwilling to believe it.

  Many wizards were eager to hear more useful news from the radio station, and began to try to find out how to subscribe to the "Defense Express" magazine.

  However, the new issue of "Defense Letters" has yet to go on sale, as if some major news is quietly brewing.

  The Azkaban escape incident was like a blockbuster, disturbing the magic world. However, these turmoil did not have any impact on Albert, and he still spent the last few days of Christmas vacation with his girlfriend.

   "You wrote this manuscript?"

  Isobel put down the latest issue of "Defense Letters" in his hand, and looked at Albert with a strange expression.

  The recently released "Defense Letters" contains not only an interview with Harry Potter, but also an analysis of a series of strange behaviors of Minister of Magic Fudge.

The reason why Isobel thinks this manuscript is related to Albert is that many of the points in this manuscript are similar to many of what Albert said after the prison break in Azkaban. related associations.

   “That article was written by Rita Skeeter, a woman who is really gifted at this and always catches the reader’s eye.”

   Albert scooped up the still steaming chaos, put it into his mouth and tasted it carefully, the wontons made of sea fish bone soup and sea fish meat were quite delicious.

   "Do you want some?" Albert smiled and passed the spoon into the girl's mouth

"Fudge must hate this magazine, which almost pushed him to the forefront." Isobel opened his mouth to hold the spoon that Albert handed over, and shared this bowl of food from the Far East, "I always feel like eating like this Go on, and I'll be a fat man in no time."

  Although she has been exercising seriously, she still needs to control her diet as much as possible to avoid causing excessive damage to her body.

   "Just control the amount of food and exercise." Albert stretched out his hand and squeezed it, and said with a smile, "It's not good to be too thin."

   "Duplicity."

  Isobel raised her hand and poked Albert. She was sure that Albert liked pretty girls, and forget about getting fat.

   After eating, the two went back to rest.

  The "Defense Letters" was randomly spread out and overturned on the table, and it happened to be a report on the analysis of Fudge.

When Albert went back to rest with his girlfriend in his arms, Cornelius Fudge was still busy. His current situation was not very good, especially after the "Secret Behind the Lie" article in "Defense Letters" was released, Make him completely blind.

  No way, Albert's stabbing was too fatal.

  When people were dissatisfied with the fact that the Ministry of Magic concealed the truth about the Death Eaters' escape, the appearance of this article directly caused most people to question Fudge's approach.

Although they were also unwilling to believe the cruel truth that Voldemort had returned, the news of the Death Eaters' jailbreak slapped them in the face like a slap in the face. Maybe they still couldn't wake up those who pretended to be asleep, but they could also give them a hard time. Reminder.

  On the day Fudge took over the Defense Express from Percy, he lost his temper in the office again, and even ignored the opposition within the Ministry of Magic, and directly wanted Sirius Black.

  If it hadn’t been for the Azkaban jailbreak, maybe the big Aurors had already been launched to capture Sirius Black, who disturbed social order.

  However, there is no evidence that Sirius was involved in this matter, and he stayed at 12 Grimmauld Place most of the time. Even if Fudge wanted to put Sirius in Azkaban prison, there was no good way.

   "Defense Letters" became a key topic of discussion, not only the students of Hogwarts, but even the entire British wizarding community knew of its existence.

  Fudge tried to stop it from spreading in the magical world, but the effect was not great. People always have various ways to read the above two articles.

  Suddenly, there were voices in the wizarding world calling for Fudge to step down. Several people headed by Lucius Malfoy have become the targets of people's suspicion and vigilance.

   "What the **** are you doing?" Amelia Bones looked at the wanted criminal in front of her, "And you shouldn't be here."

"Don't worry, no one will guess who I am?" Sirius shrugged and said, "It won't cause you trouble, not to mention that it was Fudge's slander, I am not a wanted criminal, and the Ministry of Magic has no evidence to prove that "Defense Letters" has something to do with me, so I can't be considered guilty just because I bought a copy of "Defense Letters."

"Tell me, what do you want from me? You know I'm busy." Amelia Bones glanced at the "Defense Express" in front of her, picked it up and flipped through it. Although she had heard of this magazine before, Haven't seen the contents yet.

   "You should have noticed the escape from Azkaban." Sirius said unhurriedly: "Do you still think Dumbledore is lying?"

   "So, you came to laugh at me?" Amelia Bones raised her eyebrows. "By the way, I never thought Dumbledore was lying."

"No, I just want to remind you that it will be a matter of time before that idiot Fudge is kicked out." Sirius took a sip of the black tea in his cup and said unhurriedly: "And you've already been on Voldemort's On the death blacklist, there are only two people who have not died yet, and you are obviously no longer in it."

   "You want to tell me that I'm dying?" Amelia Bones put down the magazine and looked at the young man in front of her.

   "Yes, according to the prophecy, you won't survive this summer."

   Amelia Bones fell into a short station of silence.

   "I will not escape."

"I can understand your decision, this is just a well-intentioned advice, but you can't change anything?" Sirius sighed, "You are not them, you are too weak, so you are destined to be unable to win, unable to stop, I can't escape."

   "They?" asked Amelia Bones.

   "Dumbledore, there is...the other one you also know." Sirius said softly, "He doesn't like to let others know..."

   "Albert Anderson?" Amelia Bones guessed who it was.

"Don't trust the Aurors of the Ministry of Magic. The Ministry of Magic has long been infiltrated into a sieve by Death Eaters." Sirius changed the subject, "Also, you'd better change your residence to a place where the Loyalty Curse is cast, unless you want to die in the middle of the night. At home, don't think that your defense against the dark arts is good, if he comes to the door, you will die."

Before leaving, Sirius did not forget to remind: "If you want to avenge Edgar, you should cherish your own life even more. If you think about it clearly, you can talk to Dumbledore, he will certainly not mind being yours." Secret Keeper."

   As he spoke, Sirius left a photo cut from a newspaper and left the cold drink shop.

  Amelia Bones' eyes fell on the photo on the table, she put away the "Defense Express" and the photo, paid and left.

   "You failed to convince her?"

  Tonks withdrew his gaze from Amelia Bones, and looked at the young man in front of him.

"It was impossible to succeed from the very beginning." Sirius looked at the back of the man leaving, and said calmly: "Amelia Bones is a very independent person, and she will not give up because of what we say. And change her decision."

   There's a line Sirius didn't say: what happens to Amelia Bones is none of his business.

  He can remind the other party twice, and to do this, he is already very worthy of the love he fought with Edgar back then.

   "No wonder the results of his prophecies are difficult to change." Sirius sighed silently in his heart, got up and left with Tonks.

   "She really..."

In the hall of No. 12 Grimmauld Place, Kingsley couldn't help but sighed after listening to Sirius, and didn't say much about this matter. The meeting of the Order of the Phoenix is ​​still going on, and they are still surrounding the Death Eaters The aftermath of the jailbreak.

   "They are trying to find that master prophecy, you know who I'm talking about?" Snape glanced at the parchment in his hand and reminded.

"You don't have to worry about this, unless Anderson is willing, no one will be able to find him." Sirius cast a contemptuous look at Snape: "It's a shame that you have taught him for seven years, and I don't know him well." .”

  Sirius' confidence in Albert came from the duel competition a while ago. That guy directly arranged for the Death Eaters to be clear, and let him complete his revenge on Peter Pettigrew.

Snape ignored Sirius' contemptuous gaze, and continued: "Broderick Bode's death was caused by the Death Eaters. He is recovering. They were afraid that he would reveal the news after he recovered, so they sent him a basin." Devil's web. One more thing, they're considering whether to use the Imperius Curse to control Fudge."

"They still need to control Fudge. Many people think that Fudge is with them." Tonks' tone was full of sarcasm. She was a loyal supporter of the article "The Secret Behind the Lies", and she was able to occupy a high position. There was absolutely no way that Fudge, who could become a minister, was an idiot.

   "Because of your "Defense Letters." Snape glanced at Sirius.

   "Don't worry about this for the time being, even if Fudge is controlled by Death Eaters, the situation will not be worse." Mad-Eye interrupted: "Is there any other information?"

"The Dark Lord seems to have got some news from August Rookwood. Rookwood was once the silent man of the Department of Mysteries. I don't know exactly what it is, but they seem to have some plans." Snape waved The wand disappeared the parchment in his hand: "One more thing, Dumbledore wants me to teach Potter Occlumency to prevent his mind from being invaded by outsiders."

   "You teach him?" Sirius looked disgusted, "I thought Dumbledore would find Anderson."

   "Anderson refused." Snape curled his lips and said, "I heard that Potter was unable to learn Occlumency, so he directly refused."

   "Are you sure you didn't say that?" Sirius stared at Snape.

   "Okay, if nothing else, I need to talk to Potter about this." Snape didn't bother to pay attention to Sirius.

   Not long after the meeting broke up, Snape saw the boy he hated so much.

   "The Headmaster asked me to inform you, Potter, that he wants you to learn Occlumency this semester."

   "Who will teach me?" Harry asked happily, "Anderson?"

   "I." Snape raised his eyebrows and said, "Anderson dislikes that you can't learn, so he refuses to teach you."

   "So, Dumbledore said he would find someone to teach me Occlumency...meaning you." Harry's face darkened suddenly.

"I can assure you that I didn't do it voluntarily, because it's not a pleasant job." Snape said blankly, "Once a week, I have private tutoring, and I can't tell anyone, especially Dolores U. Mlitch. It's six o'clock on a Monday evening, in my office, and if anyone asks, just say it's Potions remedial."

   "Of course, if you are dissatisfied with this, I suggest you go to the principal."

   After speaking, Snape strode away.

   "What a nightmare," Harry muttered. "I dare say Dumbledore must have made a wrong decision."

   "If Snape dares to bully you, tell me." Sirius was annoyed, if he was good at Occlumency, Harry wouldn't have to look for snot to learn it.

   "No, I can handle it." Harry changed the subject, "How should we go to Hogwarts tomorrow, using the Floo network?"

   "We have booked the Knight Bus, which will take you directly to the gate of Hogwarts."

   "It's not a pleasant experience to ride in that thing," Harry muttered.

"I know, but we have no better choice. It's not safe to take the train, and the Ministry of Magic will not allow us to put people on the train." Sirius explained, "The Floo network may also be tampered with, and Fudge will never will allow us to use it."

  When Harry was about to tell Ron and Hermione about learning Occlumency with Snape, he heard Fred and George talking to Bill about the price of the Diagon Alley store at the stairs.

   “…he felt that price was too low.”

"Don't worry, we can continue to chat with him. There is no need to worry about this matter. Diagon Alley will be very depressed in the future, and it is best to find a few more stores." After finishing speaking, George handed over to Bill Stuffed a small bag of Galleons into the bag, and under the astonished gaze of the other party, he smiled and said, "Albert always said that Galleons can make people more efficient, and we don't have time for this, so we can only trouble you to worry about it." gone."

   "Is this his motto?" Bill said dumbfoundingly.

   "Are you planning to open a shop?"

   "Yes, we are looking for a store. We have a hunch that it will be... very intense after the holidays are over and back to school." Both Fred and George smiled meaningfully, "Harry, you'd better get ready too."

   "You mean toads can..."

   "Toads can bite too."

   "What are you talking about, there is not so much money." Bill intends to return the money bag to George.

   "How much do you charge, how much do you do, don't be lazy Bill." George patted Bill on the shoulder and said.

   Revised.
