Chapter 1204 He is more suitable to be the savior
At dusk, in the Hogwarts kitchen, the house elves were busy coming and going at the long table, preparing a sumptuous dinner for the Hogwarts students.
Suddenly, there was an ear-piercing "pop" incongruous noise from a certain corner of the kitchen, which startled the house-elves who were so busy.
Several house elves were so frightened that the food they were carrying almost flew out of their hands.
The plate of stewed potatoes that almost fell to the ground actually stagnated in mid-air, as if someone had pressed the pause button, and then returned to the plate in the house elf's hand like a playback.
"Sorry to scare you."
A gentle voice sounded in the kitchen. The house elves who had been so busy stopped what they were doing, and turned their heads to look in the direction of the sound.
"Mr. Anderson!"
I don't know which house elf recognized the owner of the voice, and called out Albert's name first, and other house elves also showed joyful smiles on their faces.
When they put down what they were doing and came to this side one after another, they noticed Hermione and Dobby next to Albert, with unconcealable disgust and disgust on their faces, and avoided them one after another, as if they were There is some terrible contagious disease in him.
However, two house elves brought black tea and pies to Albert.
"Thank you for your hospitality, and I won't disturb your work." Albert picked up a pie brought by a house elf, thanked them with a smile, and left with Hermione and Dobby kitchen, and avoid continuing to cause unnecessary trouble for busy house-elves.
"They seem to like you, how do you do that, I mean how do you get them to like you."
Hermione looked at the closed kitchen door, looked enviously at Albert who was holding the pie, and curiously asked Albert the secret of his popularity.
The treatment she and Albert enjoyed really made Hermione feel inexplicably sad. Sometimes she wondered if she really did something wrong?
"As long as you can respect them, they will naturally like you, give...a piece of pie, don't think about it." Albert distributed the pie just taken from the plate to Hermione and Dobby.
"thank you, sir."
Dobby hesitated for a moment, but reached out to take the pie from Albert, took a bite happily, and did not forget to thank Albert.
"It's that simple, you just need to treat them like normal people, but many people can't do this." Albert handed the rest of the pie to Hermione, and urged: "Don't do what they hate, even if sometimes what you think is right may not be right for others, after all, many things are relative."
Hermione took the pie foolishly, looked at Albert who was waving at her, and didn't know what to say.
"Okay, it's time for me to go back. I think you should be hungry too. Go eat quickly. Your friends should be waiting for your good news." Albert stretched out his hand towards Dobby, letting the house-elf Take away from Hogwarts.
"goodbye."
Hermione looked at the place where the house elf disappeared with Albert, and fell into a brief silence again. She looked down at the pie in her hand, took a bite, and didn't know what she was thinking.
After finishing the pie, Hermione returned to the hall directly along the passage.
As soon as she entered the hall, Hermione didn't take much effort to find Harry and Ron who were having dinner, and the two were talking in a low voice.
When Hermione walked over, she found that her ears were buzzing. Harry and Ron had apparently cast a spell to close their ears. Hermione undid the spell and heard the two talking about Lavender. Feeling confused.
"I wouldn't do that if I were you."
Hermione sat down on the empty seat next to Harry, glanced at Ron with a scum-like gaze, and said flatly, "How long have you been dating, and you plan to dump him?"
"Hermione, when did you come back?" Harry asked in surprise.
"I didn't say I was going to dump her, I just thought she was a little too clingy." Ron stammered, "Like an octopus."
"Just now, Albert sent me back, and the affairs at home have been dealt with." Hermione said in a low voice, "A lot of things happened during the period, thanks to the help of Albert and Kingsley, Things finally settled down smoothly.”
"You don't mind telling us about it!"
Harry was curious about what happened when Hermione came home from leave.
"This is not the right place, we have to find another place to talk." Hermione didn't intend to say here that even using earplugs was not safe, and she didn't want Harry to abuse these spells.
"Go to the Room of Requirement, we'll be sure no one will bother us there," suggested Ron.
After a simple dinner, the three hurried to the Room of Response on the eighth floor. It is obviously safer to discuss private matters there, at least without worrying about being overheard.
However, what puzzled Harry was that there were people in the Room of Requirement, and they couldn't get in.
"Someone is using it, let's find another place!"
Harry frowned as he looked at the closed Room of Requirement, and led Hermione and Ron to an empty classroom nearby.
After confirming that there was no one around, and using earplugs to listen to the curse, Hermione roughly told the two of what happened after she returned home.
From the three clues left by Cassandra before her death, to the mysterious man using spells to locate her family members and laying traps, intending to attack and kill Albert, to Albert discovering that something was wrong at the first time, He successfully rescued Hermione's family and successfully got rid of the mysterious man's pursuit. Finally, with the help of the Order of the Phoenix, he sent the family away from England at the airport.
"That guy is really powerful. If he was an ordinary person, I'm afraid he would really step into the trap of the mysterious man." Harry couldn't help but sigh with emotion after hearing Hermione's story.
From Hermione's words, it is not difficult to see the danger of the whole matter. If Albert is not decisive enough, not only Hermione's family will be in danger, but even Hermione may be in danger.
"Isn't the point of this matter that Hermione's family was almost innocently affected by Albert and lost their lives?" Ron muttered softly.
He actually felt that Hermione's family was very unlucky, and almost lost their lives inexplicably.
"Albert didn't mean it, and this matter has something to do with me asking him for help." Hermione never blamed Albert for this, even if the family really lost their lives because of it.
She knew very well that if she followed Harry to fight against the mysterious man, sooner or later she might encounter similar troubles. It was enough to solve the problem, and she never had much extravagant hope.
"Can…"
Ron hesitated to speak, but finally shut up obediently.
"I heard from Kingsley that your uncle's family will be sent away next summer to hide them and avoid being approached by Death Eaters." Hermione said to Harry.
"My family can't all hide, they still need to work." Ron also frowned, because he also thought about the situation at home.
The Death Eaters undoubtedly hated the Weasleys. Fred and George followed Albert to fight against the mysterious man, and he also followed Harry to fight against the mysterious man. No, it should be said that their family except the traitors Percy and Ginny They are all fighting against the mysterious person.
Definitely on the blacklist.
Oh, my God, Ron really can't imagine how terrible things will happen once the mysterious man stares at their house.
Or, they will torture his family, try to torture Harry's whereabouts, or take them hostage, let the Order of the Phoenix rush to rescue, and the bad future makes Ron's face even more ugly.
"Don't worry about Ron, Kingsley said the Ministry of Magic has other arrangements for your family."
"But what if the Ministry of Magic collapses? Didn't Albert predict the collapse of the Ministry of Magic." Ron said sullenly.
"Probably find a house protected by the Fidelity Curse to hide!" Hermione comforted softly, "Sirius doesn't mind if they use the headquarters of the Order of the Phoenix, at least it's safe there for the time being."
"Why does the mysterious man want to get rid of Albert so desperately?" Harry asked doubts in his heart. No matter how you look at it, this matter is abnormal. The mysterious man actually set a trap to hunt down Albert himself.
"I'm not too sure, but I think Albert probably made him feel threatened." Hermione thought for a while and analyzed: "Albert's divination is very accurate, basically the results of the divination come true, and, he I am still so powerful, if we really join forces with the Ministry of Magic and the Order of the Phoenix to fight against the mysterious people, the situation will probably be very unfavorable to them. In fact, the recent cases are the best proof that the Death Eaters have suffered heavy losses."
"Actually, sometimes, I think Albert is more suitable to be the savior than me." Harry laughed at himself, "He must be able to do better than me. You also know that that guy is almost omnipotent."
"Harry!" Hermione looked at her friend worriedly.
"Albert successfully got the Ministry of Magic and the Order of the Phoenix to join forces to fight against the forces of the mysterious man. This is something that even Dumbledore couldn't do, but Albert did it easily." Harry smiled wryly.
He felt that it was completely reasonable for the mysterious man to want to kill Albert. Maybe Albert was higher on the mysterious man's blacklist than him.
"Don't think about Harry that way, Albert also thinks you are the real savior." Hermione comforted softly, "He also said that you should do many things, which are more suitable than him and Dumbledore."
"A lot of things?"
Harry looked at Hermione in some confusion, but quickly understood the meaning of the other party's words. The search for Horcruxes needs to be kept secret, and Albert and Dumbledore undoubtedly received extra attention from Voldemort. It is completely finished, and he is undoubtedly more suitable to complete this task. At least compared with the first two, Voldemort is obviously more willing to watch their every move.
"Is this the benefit of being too weak?"
There was unconcealable bitterness in Harry's voice, it would be great if he could become better, if he could also have Albert's level... Unfortunately, his so-called savior is just a trivial future adult wizard.
That's why Scrimgeour never regarded him as the so-called savior, but a signboard that could affect the reputation of the Ministry of Magic.
After finishing the short conversation, the three returned directly to the common room. As soon as Ron entered the lounge, Lavender entangled him. The two were performing a wrestling kiss on the sofa. Ron obviously enjoyed this experience. It was quite embarrassing for their friends.
At this moment, Ginny walked towards this side quickly. After she glanced at the hypocritical Ron, Ni handed a piece of parchment to Harry.
"Harry, Professor Dumbledore asked me to give this to you."
"Thank you, Ginny...Dumbledore is going to teach me again!" Harry said to Hermione in a low voice, and he quickly scanned the contents of the parchment as he unfolded it.
"By the way, Harry, when is the next DA meeting, everyone can't wait." Ginny asked.
"Well...I have some things to do recently. I promised to help with the Wizard Card Club. There is also Quidditch training. I don't have time at all. The next meeting will probably have to wait until after the Christmas holiday." Not really. Leigh doesn't want to host a DA party, but he's been really busy lately.
"How about I let Se..."
Just when Harry was about to say that Cedric would come and hold the event for everyone, Hermione stomped on his toes and swallowed the words back into his stomach.
"Hermione, why are you stepping on me?"
After Ginny left, Harry reached out and rubbed the toes stepped on by Hermione, and couldn't help complaining.
"Albert hopes that you can gather popularity through the DA party and gain more supporters and support from students." Hermione reminded earnestly: "If you throw the matter of the DA party to Cedric, what is it?" , the meaning of the DA party is mostly lost."
"I thought this gathering was mainly to teach everyone Defense Against the Dark Arts." Ron broke free from Lavender at some point, and asked back in astonishment.
Although he knew about it, Hermione's words did surprise him.
"Although it does sound a bit like that, Albert really intends to do so. He thinks you need some loyal supporters." Hermione looked at Harry and Ron and said seriously, "Teaching everyone Defense Against the Dark Arts is just By the way."
"I need?" Harry muttered.
Honestly, Harry didn't really like it, but Albert obviously thought it was possible for him to go through what happened last term again.
"Albert hopes to use the DA party to gather everyone around you and support you against the mysterious man." Hermione thought it was reasonable for Albert to do that. "It's not good to fight alone, Harry, you need allies, no, It should be said that we, and even the Order of the Phoenix, need allies."
"But... I really don't have time recently, if we push down the Wizard Card Club."
Harry doesn’t actually play wizard cards very much, and he doesn’t like this game very much, because playing this game requires not only carefulness, but also brains.
"No, Harry, we promised." Hermione directly refused.
Luna doesn't know how to run the Wizard Card Club at all. If she doesn't help out, the Wizard Card Club might disappear, and she promised Albert very early on that she would help.
