What does Chapter 970 have to do with Albert?
Albert didn't care about the turmoil caused by the "Guide to Defense" in the British wizarding world. It had nothing to do with him anyway. Fudge must know very well that Sirius Black is Dumbledore's man. No matter how you look at it, this is a signal sent by Dumbledore to the outside world.
A signal that Dumbledore is going to remove Fudge from the position of Minister of Magic.
At least some conspirators who are good at association must think so.
As for, Sirius was misled?
That is pure nonsense.
Sirius Black is an adult and has the ability to make his own judgments. He cannot listen to others on everything. He is not a three-year-old child. Only if he can agree with him can he possibly convince the other party.
At most, Albert gave a little bit of trivial advice when the other party asked, and Black obviously thought that what he said made sense. Someone always needs to stand up and tell them the truth. This is the greatness of Dumbledore. , and they are obviously just helping to make some insignificant noises, and there is nothing they can do to attract the hatred of the Ministry of Magic. Even if they are willing to give up speaking out, Fudge will not miss the opportunity to attack Dumbledore and the Order of the Phoenix.
“Did you do this?”
Isobel finished flipping through the latest issue of "Defense Guide" and looked up at Albert with a rather strange expression on her face. After reading this magazine, it was actually not difficult for her to guess what the current situation in the magical world was.
"This was created by Sirius Black for the Order of the Phoenix to express its voice to the outside world. The editor-in-chief is Professor Lupin." Albert decisively dismissed the blame.
What does the magazine published by Sirius Black have to do with Albert?
“What is the Order of the Phoenix?”
Katrina walked towards this side with the fat cat in her arms. She had recently spent some time getting along with Tom Cat, and now she was living a leisurely and warm life of petting cats and owls.
“The organization founded by Professor Dumbledore to resist the mysterious man,” Albert took a sip from the tea cup and reminded, “You should know that the name is enchanted and cannot be mentioned.”
"Of course I know, we have been told this kind of thing a long time ago." Katrina picked up Tom and put it on the table, stretched out her hand to scratch his chin and said, "This matter is considered common knowledge in the magical world. Especially With rumors like these circulating, wizarding families will certainly be reminding their children again."
“He invited you?” Isobel asked casually. Although it seemed casual, Albert felt that Isobel cared about this matter.
Organization that specializes in resisting mysterious people?
I knew it was a dangerous thing, and Isobel obviously didn’t want Albert to take the risk.
“Yes, but I refused.”
"I thought you would agree." Katrina gently grabbed Tom's tail and looked up at Albert in surprise. She knew that Albert and Dumbledore had a good relationship, a very good one.
"No, the Order of the Phoenix formed by Dumbledore is not reliable. Well, it is not safe. I remember that many members of the last Order of the Phoenix died miserably." Albert shook his head and said, "For your own safety, I have no intention of joining the Order of the Phoenix, and it’s Potter the Savior’s job to fight You-Know-Who.”
“You are such a bad person!”
After Katrina read the prophecy in the "Defense Guide", she guessed who was behind the scenes.
"This is Blake's magazine, and he published it himself." Albert said confidently, "Not everyone can bury their head in the soil like an ostrich. Someone always needs to stand up and shout that political correctness does not mean Wear it correctly."
“What is an ostrich?” Katrina asked.
“A bird about eight feet tall, it likes to bury its head in the soil when in danger.” Albert briefly introduced.
"This is quite vivid. Why do you think Dumbledore came forward? He should know, I mean he should know to stand up and tell the truth. In addition to being targeted by wizards and Cornelius Fudge in the wizarding world, There is no benefit. He should wait for everyone to be unlucky, and then stand up with Porter in the name of the savior and lead everyone to victory, instead of becoming like this. I feel that even after the truth about the mysterious man's resurrection is exposed, no one will really Thank him."
Katrina was a little angry at first when she saw the Daily Prophet's article slandering Dumbledore, but later she was actually more confused about why the headmaster was sitting like this.
As the smartest person in the entire magical world, Dumbledore couldn't have known the consequences of doing so.
However, he did it anyway.
"Some things require someone to stand up." Isobel said meaningfully: "For Dumbledore, some things are not that important."
"So, that is an admirable old man." Albert sighed, "I suspect Mr. Principal may not live long."
“Did you predict his death?” Both of them looked at Albert.
"That's why you said that the situation will get worse." Isobel seemed to realize something, and her face became slightly pale. They all knew what would happen once Dumbledore died.
"Even you can't, remind Dumbledore to avoid danger." Katrina asked in a low voice.
"Who knows?" Albert said softly, "I will remind him, but who knows what will happen in the future. I think what Mr. Principal wants to do most now is to clean up the mess of the mysterious man before he dies!"
“Do you think he will succeed?” Isobel asked with a frown. She was actually very concerned about this issue. The mysterious man was a big problem after all, if she wanted to live a normal life.
"It's hard to say, because the mysterious man also wants to kill him, not to mention the mysterious man's mortal enemy is Harry Potter." Albert is not optimistic about this matter, and he doesn't know what will happen if it disrupts the plot, although His ability to resist risks is now very high and he is not worried that the situation will get worse.
"Do you think Harry Potter might be able to defeat You-Know-Who?" Katrina naturally knew what Harry Potter was like. He was a somewhat capable but not very outstanding wizard. If it were Albert, he would think so. More likely, after all, this guy is very mysterious, very powerful, and knows a lot of things.
"Because the mysterious man chose Potter as his mortal enemy, it is said that this involves a prophecy, and this prophecy...forget it, I don't understand the relationship between prophecy and cause and effect, and you can't understand it even if I say too much."
In fact, Albert also knows little about prophecy. Although he pretends to be a magician, there are probably only a few prophecy masters in the past two thousand years who can really understand prophecy and cause and effect.
There is no way, there are not many wizards who are really good at prophecy, let alone further in-depth research.
"You know?" Katrina looked at Albert with a complicated expression, "Sometimes you give me the feeling that you are deceiving us, and the words you say are just like fantasy."
"God... prophecies are like this." Albert shrugged. "Most of the time, people are more willing to believe what they see with their own eyes."
“When will we set off?” Isobel suddenly asked.
“The day after tomorrow.” Albert thought for a while and then said, “Let’s go to France first. I have told them in advance.”
He has already arranged his next trip and plans to go to France to visit the Flamel couple first. After all, they are already old people who will die in a few years, and the number of times they can meet is limited.
As for Bud, for the safety of the other party, the two sides will not meet for the time being.
"By the way, have you read the latest issue of the Daily Prophet?" Katrina said suddenly, "Cassandra Wabraski, the author of "Looking Through the Fog to See the Future," seems to have encountered a blackmailer. Wizard’s attack.”
Albert took the newspaper and read the content on Katrina's finger. It was a very brief paragraph. No wonder he ignored it.
I don’t know why, but he always feels that this is related to the mysterious person.
The mysterious man is looking for a prophet?
It has something to do with Harry, or does he want to predict something through a master of prophecy?
But what puzzled Albert was that Cassandra Wabraski was not missing or dead.
“What’s wrong?” Isobel asked doubtfully.
"I always feel that this is unusual. I'm going to find someone to find out about the situation." Albert stood up and walked towards the study.
