Daily Life at Hogwarts

Chapter 1082: Shut up

Views:

Being bullied every three days, making trouble every five days, and making the whole Hogwarts school in chaos, even if Umbridge had a good temper, she would definitely not be able to tolerate it, not to mention that Umbridge herself was not a person with a good temper.

The changes that Fred and George's disruption brought to Hogwarts were simply unbearable for Umbridge, who had a strong desire for control.

However, after a long time, the novelty wore off, and the battle of wits and courage with Umbridge became a bit boring, especially for the Weiss brothers who now only wanted to go to Diagon Alley to have a joke shop. Now that the two have completely opened up the market in Hogwarts, they just want to open a shop to fulfill their dreams.

As for Umbridge, the toad, she would have nothing to do with them after she left school.

After completing a new round of struggle and being taken back to the common room by Lee Jordan, the two discussed talking to Albert about leaving school and opening a shop in Diagon Alley.

"I'm afraid you'll have to wait!" Albert said, hiding his yawn.

"But is there really any point in continuing to do this?" George asked the question in his heart. If Albert really wanted Umbridge to get out of Hogwarts, even if there were not a hundred ways, he would definitely be able to think of more than ten ways, instead of hanging her like this, like teasing a cat with a cat teaser. No, maybe it would be more appropriate to say that he was teasing a toad with a stick.

In fact, whether it was Fred, George or Lee Jordan, they all didn't understand why Albert asked them to fight against Umbridge. After living with Albert for so many years, their thinking patterns were more mature than other wizards. Naturally, they didn't think that what they were doing now would cause much trouble to Umbridge. At most, it would just make the toad feel disgusted.

But does it really make sense to do that

It would be better to bring down Umbridge in one go!

"At least, we need to make everyone have the courage to resist Umbridge." Albert knew their doubts and said softly, "This is a relatively long process."

"I don't think that's the reason," Fred muttered.

"Maybe, this is only part of it." George raised his eyebrows.

"You should explain yourself clearly," Lee Jordan agreed.

"Do you really want to know?" Albert asked seriously, "The truth may be far more cruel than you think. Do you really want to know? Are you really prepared?"

Fred, George and Lee Jordan looked at each other and realized that things might not be as simple as they thought.

"Go ahead, we're ready."

“We are already adults.”

"We...well, at least we won't back down."

"Life in Hogwarts is too comfortable. A comfortable college life is actually a good thing in a peaceful era, but it is a very bad thing in the turbulent times that are coming. Comfort will erase many things and make people vulnerable." Albert picked up the wand beside the pillow, waved it lightly, and locked the dormitory door to ensure that no one eavesdropped, although he didn't think anyone would come to eavesdrop at this time.

The three of them didn't say anything and continued listening.

Albert waved his wand again, and four cups of steaming tea appeared out of thin air. He picked up one cup, took a sip, and then continued, "And Umbridge's appearance is just the right thing to remind everyone, but that alone is far from enough."

"So, you torture Umbridge repeatedly and use her as a tool, hoping that everyone will wake up?"

Just think about all the shit that happened to Umbridge when she came to Hogwarts...

This person is really bad.

"It's not really a hassle."

Albert took another sip of tea to clear his mind. "I just think it's good to let everyone experience Umbridge's cruelty for themselves. At least it can make some people's heads clearer."

"If Umbridge hears this, she'll come and fight you to the death." Fred couldn't help but complain.

"She has become what she is now..."

"It has nothing to do with me. It's part of her character. Umbridge is just like that." Albert shook his head to deny it. After he finished the cup of tea, he refilled it for himself and continued, "Most of what you are doing now should have been done by Harry Potter, but he is not suitable now, and he will have other things to do next, so I can only leave the task of 'pulling people on board' to you."

"I think you're a good fit," George said, even though they all wanted to complain about Albert's so-called "pulling people aboard."

If there is anyone in Hogwarts who has more appeal, it must be Albert.

"I'm not suitable." Albert shook his head and explained, "At least not now. Harry is the savior. This reputation is very important to him, at least it is important to those who believe he is the savior. I don't need this reputation. I dare say I am famous enough now."

"You actually believe this." The three of them showed surprised expressions. They even thought that with Albert's character, he would not believe in the so-called savior at all.

"A long time ago... probably more than ten years ago, there was a prophecy, a prophecy that the mysterious man would be defeated." Albert suddenly said.

"There is actually such a thing." The three of them were very surprised.

"Otherwise, how do you think Harry Potter got the title of savior?" Albert asked, "Because Harry Potter defeated the mysterious man? No, it was because of the prophecy that after Harry 'defeated' the mysterious man, he was given the title of savior."

"Do you know what the prophecy says?" George seemed to realize what Albert was going to say next.

"Almost no one knows the true content of the prophecy. Maybe Dumbledore knows it, but I can probably guess who made the prophecy." Albert noticed the puzzled looks from the three people. "After all, there are not many famous prophets in the world. This circle is too narrow."

"Is it related to the prophecy?" George asked suddenly.

"What?" The other two didn't react.

"Yes, now the prophecy ball that records the prophecy is kept in the Department of Mysteries of the Ministry of Magic. This should be what the You-Know-Who wants. He probably wants to find out whether Harry Potter is the legendary savior." Albert showed a strange expression on his face, "Because the You-Know-Who is always defeated by Harry Potter. With the You-Know-Who's ability, it would be as easy for him to kill Harry Potter as to kill a bug, but he failed one after another, which made him doubt his life. So he wanted to find out the content of the prophecy."

"As for the evidence, your father was bitten by a venomous snake in the corridor of the Department of Mysteries. Harry always said that he often had nightmares, so I can confirm this."

"So, Harry is really the savior?"

"Even if Harry is not, he must be." Albert put down his teacup and said seriously: "This has nothing to do with whether he is the savior or not. The so-called savior is more of a hoax."

"What's the meaning?"

The three of them were a little confused. Didn’t he just say that he was the savior

"The hatred between the two sides is too great, whether it is the murder of my father or other hatreds, it is impossible to eliminate them, so Harry Potter and the mysterious man must have a battle to decide the life and death of both sides." Albert said to the three people: "If Harry Potter wins, he will be the real savior. If he loses, he will become a victim of the mysterious man's rule over the British wizarding world."

All three of them fell silent, because they all realized that the probability of Harry defeating the mysterious man was very low, almost impossible.

"Actually, you don't have to worry too much. Although Harry's ability is not as good as the You-Know-Who, he can always escape death like the protagonist in the novel, constantly overcome various difficulties and defeat the enemy, so I am optimistic that Harry Potter will be able to defeat the You-Know-Who in the end." Albert smiled and comforted, "At least, you have to believe in my vision."

"I think you're more like the protagonist in a novel." Fred couldn't help but complain.

"I also hope that I can have the invincible luck of the protagonist." Albert shook his head, "That way, it will be easier to face the next dilemma."

"Is it bad?"

"It may be worse than last time." Albert explained softly, "Now, the You-Know-Who has gathered most of the dark forces. Werewolves, giants, vampires and other dark creatures that have always been disliked by the Ministry of Magic are willing to join. There are too few werewolves like Lupin who can keep their original heart."

“There is no shortage of dark wizards in the wizarding world. There are a bunch of them in Knockturn Alley. Believe me, most of them would be willing to follow the You-Know-Who to reap the benefits.

"As for the Ministry of Magic, to be honest, I am not optimistic about it. The current Ministry of Magic has been messed up by Fudge, which has completely made the vast majority of British wizards lose confidence in the Ministry of Magic. At the same time, it has also left a mess for Fudge's heirs. This is an old British tradition, and it applies to both wizards and Muggles." Albert's tone was filled with undisguised disdain when he talked about the Ministry of Magic. "Plus, what Umbridge did at Hogwarts has directly caused most students to instinctively reject the Ministry of Magic. How many people do you think are still willing to believe in the Ministry of Magic, and dare to believe in the Ministry of Magic?"

"I dare say that You-Know-Who and the Death Eaters have already infiltrated the Ministry of Magic like a sieve. When the time is ripe, You-Know-Who will definitely find a way to make Fudge's successor disappear. By then, he will push the puppet controlled by the Imperius Curse onto it, and he will be more powerful than the Minister of Magic." Albert looked at the three people with stiff expressions and continued, "That means the Ministry of Magic will also be fighting against Harry by then. Even wizards who are aware of the situation will choose to remain neutral, wait for the final result, and then stand on the side of the winner."

"As for the Dementors in Azkaban, they have probably already agreed with Voldemort on the price of betraying the Ministry of Magic."

"But...if it really turns out like that, what should we do?" The three of them were a little panicked, because the prospect described by Albert was really bad, and almost everyone stood on the opposite side of them.

"Surely Dumbledore would have prevented..."

"You'll probably have to ask him in person. Frankly speaking, I'm not optimistic. The members of the Order of the Phoenix will surely become the main targets of You-Know-Who and the Death Eaters." Albert said softly, "If the situation gets worse, after You-Know-Who takes control of the Ministry of Magic, his minions will take control of Hogwarts. Snape or Umbridge will become the new headmaster, and Harry and Dumbledore will become wanted criminals. Oh, Dumbledore is already a wanted criminal. Of course, it could be... even worse."

"Stop talking, your words are creepy." George interrupted directly, but he still couldn't stop Albert from continuing.

"Harry is destined to not get much help. From Dumbledore's situation last year, you should be able to guess the difficulties he may encounter next." Albert's voice was very light: "Everyone has been scared out of their wits. They are all scared to death. How can they have the courage to stand up and resist?"

"It is not difficult to see this from the last wizard war. Few people dared to stand up against You-Know-Who. Almost all those who had the courage were in the Order of the Phoenix. Many people chose to hide or hide their identities. Even if a war really broke out, most wizards would only remain neutral to protect themselves, and then pray in their hearts that the savior could defeat You-Know-Who and save them."

"The worst thing is that Harry Potter doesn't have the same influence as Dumbledore, let alone the same power as Dumbledore."

"Especially when the situation is almost one-sided, his situation will only be worse."

"That's why I said before that DA is very important. At least half of the DA members will fight for Harry Potter and for themselves at the most critical moment."

"So, at least we need to give them the courage to stand up and fight. If they don't have the strength, we can teach them, but if they don't even have the courage, then they are basically doomed."

"War never belongs to anyone. Even if Harry Potter is really the savior, he can't defeat the mysterious man and his minions alone. What we should do is at least not let Harry fight alone."

"What about you?" George asked curiously, "Why do you do this?"

"Because I am also on the mysterious man's blacklist." Albert said helplessly, "If I don't want my friends and family to be hurt, I naturally have to find a way to kill the mysterious man. I don't want to live a life of hiding from the mysterious man."

"Perhaps, the mysterious man's biggest mistake in his life is to regard you as an enemy." Lee Jordan couldn't help but complain.

"What I want to tell you now is that your situation is not good either." Albert ignored Lee Jordan's words and said to Fred and George, "Almost all of your family members have joined the Order of the Phoenix, right?"

Fred and George were silent for a moment, because Albert was right, almost their entire family had joined the Order of the Phoenix.

"Have you ever thought about what will happen to your family if the You-Know-Who wins?" Albert turned his gaze to Lee Jordan without waiting for Fred and George to speak. "What about you? Do you plan to join the Order of the Phoenix in the future?"

"this… "

"Peter Pettigrew was also Lupin's friend. They joined the Order of the Phoenix together. In the end, Voldemort threatened Peter's mother to make him a traitor."

"And you are my friends. I am on the mysterious man's blacklist. Do you understand what I mean?" Albert raised his hand to interrupt them and continued, "This war is never as simple as you think, especially for us unlucky people who have been caught in it. If you don't want to fight alone, you'd better prepare in advance, get more people on board, and unite them. Now do you understand why I want you to continue to toss around in school?"

"You want to convert those students who hate Umbridge to our side?" The three of them understood Albert's intention.

"Yes, that's about it." Albert nodded.

"As for you guys wanting to joke around with the store, there's no need to rush if you want to make money."

"In the Age of Chaos, the field of Defense Against the Dark Arts is the most profitable. It is the real cash cow. I remember telling you about this a long time ago." Albert said softly, "And I'm ready, so you don't need to worry. The joke shop will have it, and there will be Galleons too."

"Before that, it is more important to win the next wizarding war. I don't think anyone wants to live in a world ruled by You-Know-Who and live in fear all day long."
