Chapter 1326： I really didn't want to cause trouble

Chapter 1326 I really don’t want to cause trouble

 “Are you really not going?”

Cedric, who was ready to go to Hogwarts, couldn't help but visit Albert's office before leaving.

 “No, I have other things to be busy with.”

Albert casually picked up a piece of parchment from the desk, waved it in front of Cedric, and reminded, "The protagonist this time is Harry, and I won't steal Harry's limelight."

Cedric quickly snatched the parchment from Albert's hand, stared at the content on it for a while, frowned and asked: "What is this?"

 “Information about Death Eaters.” Albert said honestly.

 “All?” Cedric asked in surprise.

“Yes, all of them, fifty-four in total.”

“There are more Death Eaters again,” Cedric muttered. “How did you get them?”

Although most of the Death Eaters are already known to everyone, such a detailed list is really incredible.

 “I have my own channels.” Albert did not intend to elaborate.

 “Just don’t say it, forget it.”

Cedric suspected Albert of planting spies among the Death Eaters.

"This time when you go to Hogwarts, don't provoke that group of students, lest they think we are planning to cause trouble in Hogwarts and start making trouble." Albert did not forget to warn.

 “Aren’t we planning to cause trouble at Hogwarts?” Cedric looked strange.

"Now is not the time." Albert did not deny that he was preparing to cause trouble, and shrugged, "They are more impatient and can mess things up easily."

"I bet they don't want to be treated like children," Cedric reminded.

"Just be clear about it." Albert felt reassured about Cedric, and he reminded him specifically, mainly because Dumbledore had just contacted him two days ago.

Dumbledore didn't want the DA to mess up Hogwarts and give the Death Eaters an excuse to harm those students.

The idea is indeed good, but a bit unreliable.

Even if Snape became the principal of Hogwarts, it would be almost impossible to maintain the original calm after Voldemort took control of Hogwarts.

What's more, Hogwarts is the location of the final battle. Without professional training, the remaining students will only die more.

He was actually curious about how Dumbledore, who had always protected the students at Hogwarts, would react if he learned that dozens of students died in the battle after defeating Voldemort.

 Would you consider that a necessary sacrifice, or...

 It's a pity that he probably won't have that chance.

Albert believes that those well-trained students will not die in dozens of people in one breath because of the final battle.

“Don’t make excuses for being lazy, I’ll leave first.” Cedric rolled his eyes, and after confirming that Albert didn’t want to go, he didn’t intend to force it.

With the help of Dobby the house elf, Cedric apparated directly and left the Defense Association headquarters, first going to the safe house to meet Harry, Hermione and Ron.

“It seems that you were not going to give up from the beginning?”

Zannah knew that Dumbledore's portrait had come to see Albert, and she also knew what they had talked about around the students at Hogwarts.

Dumbledore really didn't want Albert to drag the students of Hogwarts into trouble, but Harry needed more helpers. Just filling in all the people from the Order of the Phoenix wasn't enough. In the decisive battle, more than fifty people on Harry's side died, not to mention that now he was incited into an enhanced version by his butterfly.

"Obviously." Albert curled his lips and said, "The professors at Hogwarts may not be reliable at critical moments. It is a very stupid thing to place your hopes on others. Look at the last time he was killed on the train. If the little Hufflepuff girl who was captured had the ability to protect herself or started to resist brazenly, I believe many students would be willing to help."

"So, you always say that you should learn to protect yourself?" Shanna raised her eyebrows slightly. Although she felt that Albert was right, her intuition told her that this was probably an excuse.

"What's more, Dumbledore is dead." Albert looked at the empty frame, "The dead should not interfere with the world of the living."

In Albert's view, today's Dumbledore can no longer keep up with the version.

He didn't even know that due to Albert's relationship, the difficulty of clearing the "Defeat Voldemort" copy had been greatly increased. If everyone's level was not improved as much as possible, it was hard to say what would happen next.

 So, Albert planned to follow his own plan.

 Of course he also knows that this is a common problem among most geniuses: overconfidence.

 But he does have the capital to be confident.

In fact, Albert also knew that Dumbledore was planning to use him. After all, it was the other party who left the Elder Wand to him, and the Elder Wand almost became Albert's greatest confidence in defeating the mysterious man.

Fortunately, the two sides stood together to deal with the mysterious man, so Albert did not mind being the sharp blade that stabbed Voldemort's heart when necessary, and Dumbledore's reward was also quite generous. Woolen cloth.

 In the final analysis, I am still too young and not as sophisticated as those who have lived for a century.

It was impossible for Dumbledore to force him from a chess spectator to the position of a chess player.

Although Albert was very reluctant to play a game with Voldemort to buy Harry Potter time, he also had his own advantage in being prepared, that is, if it didn't work, he would just lift the chessboard and get directly confused between Voldemort and Dumbledore. Lido's face.

  After all, his bottom line is much lower than Dumbledore, which can sometimes be considered an advantage.

Turning his attention back to the latest list of Death Eaters in his hand, Albert planned to find a new spy.

As for whether the other party is willing to act as his spy and deliver information to him, it can only be said that Death Eaters have no human rights.

Of course Cedric doesn't know that Albert is working hard to defeat the mysterious man. He has just met the trio of saviors in the safe house.

Noting that Hermione was looking around as if looking for something, Cedric smiled and explained to the three of them: "Albert just threw this matter to me."

"I thought he would go there himself." Hermione was a little disappointed.

"After all, the protagonist this time is Harry, these are his exact words. But I think that guy just likes to be lazy. He always likes to leave his work to others in the name of training others' abilities." Cedry Ke saw the house elf reentering the room and said to the three Harrys: "Okay, it's time for us to set off."

As he spoke, he began to use the Disillusionment Curse on himself, and the three Harrys next to him were also using the Disillusionment Curse on themselves.

 After the four people looked at each other, they suddenly couldn't help laughing.

 It can be seen that they are all deeply influenced by Albert.

During the discomfort of apparating, the three of them appeared in an empty room near the Room of Requirement. Dobby had just come over to detect it, and there was no one here.

As soon as he arrived at Hogwarts, Harry immediately took out the Marauder's Map to determine whether the surroundings were safe.

"let's go!"

Cedric called the others to go to the Room of Requirement. The time agreed with Neville was coming soon.

However, what surprised them was that Filch was actually sitting at the door of the Room of Requirement, reading a newspaper. There was a pot of tea and some desserts on the table, looking quite comfortable.

"What's going on? Why is Filch here?"

Harry suddenly had a bad feeling after seeing Filch blocking the door of the Room of Requirement.

 Could it be that Snape knew about Dumbledore's Army, so the old bat asked Filch to block it here?

"How about we bring down Filch?" Ron suggested as he drew out his wand.

"It's best not to do that. It will only arouse Filch's vigilance." Harry turned to look at Cedric, "You should have a way to contact Neville."

 “No need, I’m here.”

 A voice suddenly sounded behind the four people.

The four of them turned their heads and saw Neville walking towards them with a piece of parchment in his hand. He did not forget to smile and wave to greet them.

“Neville, how did you know we were here?”

Harry was very surprised that Neville could actually see through the Disillusionment Curse on the four of them.

"No, I can't see you, but Albert asked the house elf to bring me this piece of paper." Neville shook the parchment in his hand and said, "Although it's not as useful as yours, it still works. That's enough to prevent us from getting caught by the Death Eaters."

"What's going on now? Has the news about your reorganization of Dumbledore's Army been leaked?" Cedric asked with a frown.

"I don't know what's going on." Neville shook his head, "Besides, I don't think it's that easy to leak the secret."

“Gryffindor doesn’t have many secrets,” Ron reminded. “It’s hard to get them to keep it a secret.”

"Okay Ron." Harry signaled Ron to be quiet, then turned to look at Neville and asked, "What are you going to do, give up the DA party?"

"This is not a problem for us." Neville showed a confident smile, "Snape asked Filch to block the back of the Room of Requirement, and we found other exits."

With that said, Neville actually led Harry and the others into the Room of Requirement from another place.

“Is this also the entrance to the Room of Requirement?” All four of them were very surprised.

"No, this is just a random exit somewhere. Of course, the exit can also be used as an entrance sometimes." Neville took out a gold coin and shook it. "There are always more ways than difficulties, just let Filch take his time there. wait."

Looking at Neville's back, Harry was surprised to find that Neville was no longer the timid and fearful boy he was before.

 “Look who’s coming!” Neville shouted towards those who were communicating in low voices.

 “Harry!”

 “Ron!”

 “Hermione!”

The room instantly became excited, and the four of them were immediately surrounded by a large group of people, who enthusiastically came forward to greet them.

"Okay, be quiet!" Neville shouted, "I know you have a lot of questions, so why don't you just be quiet and listen to what Harry has to say?"

 The noise around him gradually quieted down, and everyone stared at Harry, wanting to hear what he would say.

"I'm glad to see you all today, and I'm glad that more people can stand up against You-Know-Who." Harry tried to remember the manuscript Hermione prepared for him, but now he couldn't remember it for some reason, so he simply He threw the thing away and talked about his own affairs: "I know you have a lot of confusion. You don't understand why I didn't stand up and lead everyone to resist, but I hid like a coward and disappeared."

Harry looked around at the others, trembled his lips and said, "That's because I have more important things to do."

"It's not that I don't want to tell you, but if you know it, you will probably lose your life because of it." Harry raised his finger and made a shushing gesture, but people murmured in low voices, suspecting that Harry was joking.

"I don't know if anyone has told you that according to that **** prophecy, there will be a deadly battle between me and the mysterious man." Harry tried to change the subject: "Albert predicted it a long time ago. He told me, This unprecedented decisive battle will break out at Hogwarts."

 Everyone couldn't help but swallow their saliva.

"So, you are preparing for the decisive battle." Neville's brows knitted together.

"Yes, it is not easy to defeat...the noseless monster. I need to make a lot of preparations for that decisive battle, which is why I need to disappear." Harry said softly, "But don't worry, according to Albert’s prediction, in the end, I won.”

"We will help you." Neville stood up and said, "Together we will fight against the monsters. To this end, we have reorganized Dumbledore's Army."

"I'm very happy, but you can't do it now. Dark wizards are very dangerous. They won't joke with you. There's no point in dying in vain." Harry looked at Cedric and said, "But I believe Cedric will teach you. , he is an expert in this field.”

 After speaking, Harry patted Cedric on the shoulder and motioned for him to say a few words to everyone.

"I don't dare claim to be an expert, Albert is." Cedric stood next to Harry, looking at everyone and said: "I know you don't lack courage, but war is cruel, and there is really no point in dying in vain. Okay There is still enough time to train you and give you the ability to protect yourself. No matter whether you decide to participate in that war in the future, there is always no harm in learning some self-protection methods."

 “Why doesn’t Mr. Anderson come to teach us?” someone couldn’t help but ask.

"I know you want to learn powerful fighting skills from Albert." Cedric was not angry. He raised his hand and pressed it to signal everyone to stay quiet. "But don't be anxious first. You need to lay a solid foundation first, and this is just the right time. It’s what you lack now.”

“Okay, time is precious, let’s get started now.” Cedric clapped his hands to attract everyone’s attention, then he created a blackboard and began to explain to everyone the spells they needed to master step by step.

 Listening to what Cedric said, Ron's face suddenly fell.

“So, our defense against the dark arts is no better than anyone else’s?”

The three of them have received training from Moody, and the results now tell them that they are actually no different from other people.

"It's not the same." Hermione whispered, "Students trained according to Albert's method will not be too bad in combat, but they may be a bit rigid."
