Daily Life at Hogwarts

Chapter 1360: My brain is stuck in the door

Views:

“… It has been confirmed that a brutal fight broke out in Hogsmeade last night. According to eyewitnesses, many houses were severely damaged.

Peeves from Hogwarts also revealed to us that a large number of Aurors from the Ministry of Magic showed up at Hogwarts yesterday, led by the head of the Auror Office of the Ministry of Magic, McNeill, who likes to chop people’s heads off…

To be honest, the Death Eaters are more prepared than expected. I hope that the group of charming foreign dark wizards occupying Hogsmeade Village are fine."

"We have not received any further news yet... Oh, here we go, everyone is so lucky."

After Lee Jordan received the parchment from the house-elf Dobby, he excitedly shared the first-hand news with the listeners who were waiting by the radio.

"According to the latest news, the Death Eaters who attacked Hogsmeade last night finally took back the wizard village from the group of foreign dark wizards at a huge cost. A gentleman who wishes to remain anonymous also provided some interesting news..."

Lee Jordan nodded to Kings who came into the studio and motioned him to sit nearby and wait for a while.

"The Death Eaters led by Yaxley once led Death Eaters and a large number of dark wizards to Hogsmeade, trying to take back their black market from those outsiders. However, since the number of foreign dark wizards entrenched in Hogsmeade far exceeded Yaxley's people, the two sides finally used the hasty method of wizard duels to determine the final ownership of Hogsmeade village."

"Yes, I think you all have guessed the result. The Death Eaters lost in the end. The foreign dark wizard sent a powerful fellow named Percival, who easily killed three Death Eaters who participated in the duel in front of Yaxley, forcing the Death Eaters to temporarily abandon Hogsmeade Village."

When Lee Jordan said this, he began to wonder whether this dark wizard named Percival was Albert in disguise.

However, he actually knew that Albert didn't like killing people and generally wouldn't kill someone himself.

He quickly shook the thought off because...

"However, this group of outsiders obviously did not realize that the Death Eaters' credibility was not reliable at all. Yaxley gathered more helpers that night and attacked Hogsmeade in the middle of the night. The few foreign dark wizards who stayed in Hogsmeade were outnumbered. Percival was besieged by a large number of Death Eaters yesterday and died tragically in Hogsmeade..."

In the studio, Lee Jordan, who had just received the news, was talking nonstop about the details of last night's battle. While belittling the Death Eaters, he also mentioned some news that was extremely exciting for those who were resisting Voldemort.

"Oh, I almost forgot. We have invited a special guest today to analyze whether our dear Mr. Yaxley's head was caught by the door."

Kingslai has always been a frequent visitor to the Wizard Lookout, and everyone is familiar with him.

"Thank you, I'm Kingslai."

Kings came and took the microphone from Lee Jordan.

"Let me tell you some good news first. According to the latest news, after the battle last night, the Death Eaters and the foreign dark wizards suffered heavy losses. At least..."

"… I feel like the Death Eaters' heads are collectively caught in the door!"

After listening to Fred's description, Ron finally came to this conclusion.

The Death Eaters and foreign dark wizards fought each other, and in the end both sides suffered heavy losses

Everyone hopes that similar things will happen again.

It would be even better if the Death Eaters and the foreign dark wizards could die together.

Harry and Hermione remained silent and did not express their opinions on the matter. They both felt that this was very abnormal.

"Aberforth believes that the conflict between the two sides is most likely due to a conflict of interest." Sirius took a large water glass and poured a glass of pumpkin juice for everyone.

"Why do you say that?"

"Many dark wizards are willing to join the You-Know-Who's forces just to make some money. Since Hogsmeade became the black market of Britain, many people naturally tried to profit from it. Those outsiders who made Galleons from the black market were rich and naturally became their targets. But who would be easy to mess with if they could sneak into the black market? So conflicts broke out between the two sides, and even several Death Eaters were killed."

"But Yaxley deliberately turned Hogsmeade into a black market, definitely not for this reason!" Hermione instinctively felt that something was wrong.

"Probably to make money and help the You-Know-Who recruit some dark wizards from abroad." Sirius couldn't help but gloat over this matter. "In fact, many of the most vicious dark wizards in Britain were killed by Scrimgeour and his Aurors when he was in office. Now the remaining ones are all second-rate stuff."

"Yaxley's greed is not bad, but he forgot that not only he wants to make money, but his subordinates also want to make money, so Hogsmeade has become like this."

Lupin's expression was quite strange. He used to be at the bottom of the wizarding world and knew very well what the dark wizards at the bottom were thinking. Perhaps the Death Eaters' attack on Hogsmeade and the massacre and robbery of those foreign dark wizards were exactly what they wanted, so that they could take advantage of the chaos to gain some benefits for themselves.

As for sustainable development, what does that have to do with them

"I also think this is a good topic. Maybe we should let Kings discuss it specifically so that everyone knows what kind of people the mysterious man and his minions are."

Fred took out a small notebook from his pocket and wrote down the incident.

"When did you develop the habit of taking notes?" Ron looked at George in surprise.

"Do you think everyone is as leisurely as you? We are very busy and have a lot of things to do every day. Writing things down can help us avoid forgetting them." Fred glanced at Ron, who looked surprised, and said with a curled lip, "Besides, don't you think this is more stylish?"

"More stylish?" Ron's face was full of question marks.

How can you take notes in a more stylish way

"You wouldn't understand even if I told you." Fred turned to Lupin and said, "Lemus, go in and talk to Kings about this later. I'm sure many people would be happy to see the ugly faces of the Death Eaters and those dark wizards."

"no problem."

"I want you to emphasize one thing again."

"What's up?"

"It's impossible for everyone to be rich. For those dark wizards who joined the You-Know-Who at the bottom, the fastest way to turn things around is to plunder from other wizards."

"Are you planning to create conflict between the two sides?"

After hearing what Fred said, everyone couldn't help but frown.

"No, that's the truth." Fred shrugged and said, "That's actually what Albert said, but many people don't realize it, whether it's you, the Death Eaters, or the idiots who tried to remain neutral in this war. They don't realize that it's impossible for everyone in the world to live a good life, and they don't realize that most of the wealth is in the vaults of those old wizarding families, and most of those guys are Death Eaters."

"You're right, they are stupid."

Lupin understood what Fred meant and also knew how he wanted him to talk about the matter.

After Lupin and Sirius went to the studio together, Harry suddenly said, "Do you think this matter is related to Albert?"

Furong, who had just delivered drinks to the studio, couldn't help but ask, "Why do you say that?"

"This incident is obviously very unusual. It is very likely that Albert was responsible for this unusual incident. The battle between the Death Eaters and the dark wizards, with heavy casualties on both sides, is a bit bizarre no matter how you look at it." Hermione explained to everyone.

"Is such a thing possible?"

Ron was the first to express his doubts. He did not think that the Death Eaters and dark wizards were fools. If they were really fools, there wouldn't be so much trouble now.

"I think it's very likely." Fred ignored Ron and explained to everyone who was looking at him, "I don't know what Albert was busy with a while ago. We all thought he was going to make a big move."

"So, you also think he was the one who did this?"

"Ordinary people simply cannot understand the series of actions that guy has taken." Fred said with a smile, "Just like we all know that Scrimgeour's killing of so many Death Eaters was related to him, even though he himself has never admitted it."

"This matter is actually not as difficult as you think. Just like what Lupin said just now, as long as the contradictions between the two sides are aroused, the conflict of interests between the Death Eaters and foreign dark wizards will erupt sooner or later." Harry drank a sip of pumpkin juice and said with emotion: "If similar things happen a few more times, the Noseless Monster will probably become a lonely man."

Of course, this kind of good thing can only be thought about in your mind.

But there was one thing Harry had to admit, Albert was really amazing.

In just two years, Voldemort's power was greatly weakened.

Next, it's up to him.

It is vital to destroy all of the Horcruxes, and there are only the last two left to be destroyed.

Harry had already figured out what to do with the Ravenclaw diadem hidden in the Room of Requirement. The only problem now was the Hufflepuff cup in the Gringotts vault.

Harry once thought about using the Imperius Curse to control the goblin named Bogrod that Bill mentioned, but ever since that group of goblins were harassed by the Death Eaters, the goblins have retreated back underground.

He has missed this good opportunity.

They could only break into Gringotts and think of another way. Although the three of them had prepared several backup plans, Harry still felt that they were not very reliable. He would never allow the operation to destroy the Horcrux to fail.

"What's wrong, Harry?" Hermione asked sharply.

"nothing."

Harry drank his pumpkin juice again to hide his expression.

"You don't look all right," said Ron.

"I'm a little worried about the current progress." Harry said half-seriously.

"Don't worry Harry, you still have a long time to complete Dumbledore's task." Hermione comforted, "Besides, mastering the Fiery Blaze Curse is not something that can be rushed."

"I know," Harry sighed, "but we can't expect the Noseless Monster's head to get caught in the door."
