Chapter 1055 Old Riddler
The next day, Umbridge's encounter at Hogwarts hit the headlines of the Daily Prophet. This "blockbuster" news even overwhelmed the latest Ministry of Magic report on the progress of the escaped Death Eater hunt.
"...The Ministry of Magic is ashamed to blame Dumbledore for this matter."
As soon as the four of Albert sat down at the Gryffindor long table, they heard Angelina and Alia talking about the news in the newspaper across the long table.
"Peeves didn't just knock the toad to death, is that disappointing to you?" Albert smiled and took the "Daily Prophet" from Angelina, spread it out on the table, and read the headlines on it news.
"It's a pity indeed, I wish it would have driven the toad away."
"Then I'm afraid you will be disappointed."
"How long do you think the toad will stay in St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Injuries and Injuries?" George was not in a good mood. If the incident last night hadn't happened, he might have turned Umbridge into a toad someday, Hogg Watts will also usher in a long period of peace.
It's a pity, after all, they didn't do it on the day Toad was just discharged from the hospital.
"This matter is not over yet, and I am afraid it will be even more tragic." Albert knew that the incident last night interrupted several people's arrangements, but sometimes things cannot always go smoothly.
"We'd better hurry up and replenish some supplies for Peeves." Fred said in a low voice, "After Umbridge returns to school..."
"They want to force the headmaster to abdicate. Fudge probably wants Umbridge to be the new headmaster of Hogwarts." Albert reached out and knocked on the content of the second page, which actually contained an interview with Lucius Malfoy .
"I think it would be a shame for a toad to become the principal." Angelina saw with her own eyes how Peeves taught Umbridge a lesson.
"Don't forget, Professor Trelawney's prophecy." Shanna reminded.
Since the Christmas vacation, many students have forgotten the few prophecies about Umbridge left by Professor Trelawney before he was expelled.
"I really don't know what they think."
"You said, can we drive Umbridge out of Hogwarts through Peeves?" Angelina also hoped that Umbridge would get out of school so that he wouldn't have to worry about the players anymore.
"The possibility is not high. It's best not to count on Peeves for such a thing." Albert was surprised that Angelina would have such a naive idea.
"Then what to do?"
People looked at Albert in unison, waiting for him to come up with a solution to the problem.
"It's really easy to drive Umbridge away for good, just turn her into an idiot. Well, all it takes is a strong Oblivion Charm. Or, one of your stinky ways to make Umbridge Qi will no longer have the face to stay in the school, but it may cause a bad reputation for the school, making it difficult to recruit new professors for the Defense Against the Dark Arts class." Albert actually does not recommend doing that, at least not now, "Dumbledore will certainly not tolerate this happening."
"Then what to do?"
"We can put more pressure on them, lest Fudge and Umbridge always like to talk nonsense in the newspapers to smear others."
"We also publish articles?"
George seemed to have guessed Albert's plan. He had to admire the sharp words. The previous article "The Secret Behind the Lies" was written by Albert, at least he must have thought of the idea.
Only he can accurately hit Fudge's vitals.
"You can go to Hermione and ask someone she knows to help write an article about the big conspiracy between the Ministry of Magic, Fudge and Umbridge, and bring out the bad things Umbridge did at Hogwarts Tell me, let everyone understand how Umbridge and the Ministry of Magic took this opportunity to seek the position of Headmaster of Hogwarts. How they helped the Death Eaters gradually control Hogwarts, Become a **** for the students." Albert has already planned to ask someone to help them publish a book.
Of course, he is not responsible for writing the manuscript, he is only responsible for providing some ideas, some materials and some galleons.
"Death Eaters are trying to take control of Hogwarts?"
"When did Umbridge..."
Several people were a little confused when they heard this, obviously they didn't understand the meaning of Albert's words.
"Umbridge once set up a special operations investigation team at Hogwarts." Albert reminded directly after noticing the confusion on the faces of others.
"You mean they..."
"If you are particularly concerned, you can count how many of their family members and relatives have entered the blacklist of Death Eaters named by Harry." Albert closed the newspaper, took a piece of bread and spread jam on it , continued, "Except for Malfoy and his two followers, how many?"
"But…"
"I know that the son of a blacksmith is a blacksmith, and the son of a Death Eater is a Death Eater is indeed a bit too much, but..." Albert asked Fred and George, "Will you join Dumbledore's after graduation?" Order of the Phoenix?"
"Of course." George suddenly said.
"That's it, then why do you think they won't join because they don't have the Dark Mark on their arms?" Albert asked back: "As far as I know, during the last wizarding war, many Slytherin students were Not long after graduating, he became a servant of the Mysterious Man, and became a glorious Death Eater, including... You all know. If this Wizarding War drags on for more than ten years, how many Death Eaters do you think will emerge? "
"Now you just need to sort out your ideas, and then give these ideas to Hermione, and give her some Galleons as a finishing touch, I think she will be willing to help summarize them. Then, we can put them Turning it into a magazine, or a short story, I think the whole wizarding world needs an explanation, and the Ministry in particular gives the impression that Death Eaters are being intentionally allowed to break out of prison."
Thinking about it, I feel that this matter is intriguing.
The Ministry of Magic not only ignored the reminders to let the Death Eaters escape from prison, but also did not actively search for them, as if what escaped were just a few innocuous stray dogs, and it was not worth the high price to recover them.
"Get Sirius published?"
"No, "Defense Letters" is now closely watched by the Ministry of Magic, and this article can be placed in the "Quick Tune" magazine."
"Not many people watch The Quibbler."
"It's more appropriate because no one takes The Quibbler seriously. I don't think the Ministry of Magic will pay attention to it. At least when they start to pay attention, they will have no time to react." Albert's goal It is the students of Hogwarts, and then through the students to influence their parents.
“And, for everyone, it’s just hilarious speculation, and it’s fitting on The Quibbler.”
"Will the other party agree?" Fred asked suspiciously.
"I think Mr. Lovegood would be willing to spare a magazine issue to accommodate this article." Albert told everyone not to worry.
Hearing this surname, many people guessed what was going on, at least Lee Jordan thought of the reason first.
"Anyway, Valentine's Day is coming soon, and I'm going to Hogsmeade Village, so let's meet there, so you have to work harder." Albert finished eating the slice of bread in his hand, picked up his schoolbag and walked towards the ancient village. Go to the magic text classroom.
"Tell me, isn't Albert's speculation just now true?"
Looking at the back of Albert leaving, George's expression suddenly became very strange. According to his understanding of Albert, that guy likes to tell the truth, or at least lies that are more true than false. When he connects what he just said with his identity as a fortuneteller, it is worth thinking about.
The expressions of Fred and Lee Jordan also became very exciting, because they found that what George said was really reasonable.
Mixing and matching truth and falsehood, so that people can't tell which sentence is true and which sentence is a lie, has always been Albert's bad taste.
"Umbridge joins the mysterious man?"
Fred felt that this kind of thing was entirely possible. The toad itself was already evil enough, and it seemed that it would not violate harmony even if it became a Death Eater.
"No, I'm actually more worried that after Albert hinted at the collapse of the Ministry of Magic, Hogwarts will eventually be controlled by mysterious people, and Umbridge will become the headmaster of Hogwarts." George looked at Albert The back view of leaving, I regret not asking directly.
"If that's the case, it will be a nightmare for other students." Lee Jordan muttered.
Speaking, he got up and went to the Ravenclaw long table to find Luna, and talked about publishing an article in "The Quibbler".
And Fred and George went to Harry and Hermione to discuss how to use articles to make Umbridge.
Harry heard that he was going to deal with Umbridge, so he agreed without hesitation.
Hermione also said that she would write a letter to Rita Skeeter and ask her to meet in Hogsmeade.
"Compared with this matter, I care more about the significance of Albert's publication of this article." Hermione frowned and said, "His articles have some unique meanings, but you think this may be another one of Anderson's Prophecy?"
Ron felt that Hermione was simply thinking too much.
"If you really have doubts about this, you can ask him directly!"
"I don't think it's surprising that Umbridge took refuge in the You-Know-Who, and don't forget the prophecy about the end of the Toad." Harry stared at the back of his hand and said softly, "I'm more worried that Hogwarts will also fall after the Ministry of Magic collapsed. Then it was controlled by the mysterious person, and Umbridge will become the new headmaster of Hogwarts, but... Dumbledore should not tolerate this kind of thing happening."
300w, let out a sigh of relief.
