Chapter 1191 Analysis as fierce as a tiger
Just after apparating and returning to the safe house, a group of people sat on the sofa by the fireplace to keep warm. They used communication bookmarks to try to get in touch with Albert, while analyzing what happened in Hogsmeade Village with others.
"Who do you think did this?"
"Draco Malfoy."
The simple answer stunned the few people who were talking in low voices.
"Albert also thinks that Draco Malfoy did it?" Cedric flipped through the "Guide to Self-Defense" and looked straight at George, hoping to get an answer from him.
"Albert hasn't replied yet, but it should be Malfoy who did something right." George put the communication bookmark used to contact Albert on the table, took out the medicine bottle from his pocket, and poured himself a purple one pill.
"What is this?" Cedric asked curiously.
"Intelligence enhancer, it can make your brain more flexible after use." George pushed the medicine bottle to Fred, who also poured himself one.
"This thing is specially made by Albert, and the effect is very good."
"Sometimes, we need to use it to quickly sort out our messy thoughts and figure out what's going on." Lee Jordan also threw one into his mouth.
"so…"
Cedric picked up a intelligence enhancer and pinched it with his thumb and forefinger, still hesitating about taking it.
Of course he knows about intelligence enhancers, but this thing...doesn’t look like intelligence enhancers, but rather like some suspicious pills.
"That opal necklace should be worth a lot. Ordinary dark wizards won't spend Galleons to buy that kind of thing, because they are not rich enough and have no reason to do that, let alone send it to Hogwarts." George said. He tapped his forehead with his fingers, "I think only those rich Death Eaters would be willing to spend this money. It's hard to think of anyone else who would do that, and the target must be their sworn enemy, who is still in Hoag Watts, except Harry..."
"Except for Harry, Dumbledore is the only one who fits." Fred analyzed, "Harry was in the bar at the time, and Katie, who was controlled by the Imperius Curse, could have given the package to Harry, but she didn't. Do, which means Harry is not a target."
"Besides Harry, the person the Death Eaters hate the most should be Dumbledore."
"I think Albert can also try to fight for it." Lee Jordan joked.
"Could Bellatrix do it." Shanna speculated.
"Perhaps, it was that crazy woman who controlled Mrs. Rosmerta."
"Bellatrix is related to Malfoy," George reminded.
"You think it's Malfoy, there must be some reason?" Shanna asked directly.
"The Malfoy family needed this feat, and they have reasons for doing so." Fred continued, "Besides, they may not have made their own claims in assassinating Dumbledore."
"You mean the mysterious man gave Malfoy orders?"
Everyone was extremely surprised by such a conclusion.
"Malfoy is only sixteen years old." Cedric reminded, "The wizard is seventeen years old, even if he wants to replace his father Lucius as a Death Eater, I feel..."
"I suspect that the mysterious man wants Draco Malfoy to die." George raised his hand to stop Cedric, and made an even more astonishing guess, "If Malfoy's mission is to assassinate Dumbledore, I don't think He has any chance of success."
"Can…"
"Why did the mysterious man do this?"
Shanna couldn't understand why You-Know-Who wanted Draco Malfoy to die.
"This is likely to be revenge against the Malfoy family." George analyzed, "Don't forget, Lucius Malfoy indirectly killed many Death Eaters."
"Not enough reason, but definitely relevant."
If the Malfoy family wants to regain the trust of the mysterious man, this is undoubtedly the best way for their family.
"Are you sure it's not the worst solution?" Cedric couldn't help complaining.
"If Draco Malfoy's purpose is really to kill Dumbledore?" Shanna gestured the scarf around her neck twice, and couldn't help complaining: "Don't you think that assassination plan is very stupid?"
"Yeah, but how can you expect Malfoy to do better? He's only a sixteen-year-old kid."
"I suspect you are mocking him."
"Even we have to admit that this plan is very stupid."
"Even if it's a stupid plan, a single carelessness can kill someone." Fred reminded, "And if they hide the opal necklace immediately after bringing it into the school, they won't be checked by Filch at all.
"You're right, Katie was almost killed." Lee Jordan was drinking a glass of warm mulled wine. He had been outside to take pictures just now, and he needed to recover his normal body temperature first.
"I don't think it's meaningful for us to discuss this matter here." Cedric interrupted, "Even if Malfoy really wants to kill Dumbledore, so what, he can't succeed at all."
"That's really not the point, but do you still remember Albert's prophecy?" George said suddenly.
"What prophecy?"
Although Albert never said that something will happen to Dumbledore, it is not difficult for us to peek into the future from his prophecy.
"You think Malfoy succeeded." Shanna raised her eyebrows slightly, obviously not believing that Dumbledore would be killed by Malfoy.
"I think it's Snape." Fred and George exchanged glances and said, "It should be said that Albert thinks it's Snape, that's why he's on guard against Snape, and his predictions never fail. .”
"We don't have any evidence, this is just everyone's speculation." Cedric thought this was absurd, and he would never believe it unless Albert himself admitted it.
"You don't know Albert." Lee Jordan shook his head and said, "That guy never leaks any information easily until he thinks it's appropriate to say it."
"But it is not difficult for us to get some hints from his prophecy, especially the birth of the Defense Association. Don't you think it is very unusual? You must know that Albert himself was afraid of trouble, but he established the Defense Association and planned to teach everyone Defense Against the Dark Arts?"
"They're all annoying riddlers. I think it's unnecessary for you to worry about these things. It's more important to do your own thing well." Shanna wrapped the knitted scarf around her neck, felt the comfort, and was satisfied with her achievements. I'm pretty satisfied.
"If you are really bored, help prepare the materials that should be prepared at Hogwarts next time, or you can also go with me. I heard that there are quite a lot of people willing to join the DA party."
No one answered, and the air was suddenly eerily quiet.
"How is the communication with Sirius?" Fred changed the topic stiffly.
"I'm probably busy, so I haven't contacted you yet. If you're in a hurry, then make a trip. Maybe you can have dinner tonight."
"Let's forget it, anyway, it's not too urgent." George really planned to tell Sirius about this matter, and chat about something by the way.
As for dinner, forget it. Lupine's cooking skills can only be regarded as average, and the food made by Sirius can only be said to be edible.
"Do you think Zuko will be targeted by Death Eaters after this time?" Lee Jordan asked suddenly.
"Well, that's why you want to contact Sirius. Are you going to use that Zoko guy as bait?" Cedric realized what these guys wanted to do.
"With the attention of the Ministry of Magic and the stalking of the Aurors, at least Zoko can be provided with some invisible protection."
"That's right."
"Who did you learn from, Albert?" Cedric couldn't help complaining, "I don't think he is as hypocritical as you!"
"That's because you don't know him." George shook his head and said, "And it's not hypocrisy."
Cedric felt that Zuko was very unlucky. Not only did he need to work for others for nothing, but he also became a bait for others.
Well, he thought of himself, but at least he still has someone to save him. As for Zuko, he can only look at those unreliable Aurors.
"I don't know who they learned from. Could it be Albert?" In Cedric's impression, Albert didn't look like a person with a belly full of bad water.
