"Harry told me in his letter that you were attacked." Sirius did not respond, but talked about another thing that had always been on his mind.
Albert turned his head to look at Harry, who scratched his cheek with an embarrassed expression. He probably didn't expect Sirius to talk about this directly to Albert.
"Yes, I suspect it was Peter Pettigrew who did it." Albert took his eyes off Harry and said to Sirius in the two-way mirror, "For this reason, I even made a special prediction. Although it was not an accurate prediction, the finger of blame did point to Peter Pettigrew. I have reason to believe that he did a good thing."
Hermione looked up at Albert with deep worry in her eyes. She knew that Peter Pettigrew was sent to Azkaban because of Albert. If he really wanted to seek revenge on Albert and murdered him, the consequences would be disastrous.
Sirius had been standing there with his mouth open, not knowing what he was thinking. After a long silence, his voice came out of the two-way mirror again: "Can you help Harry with divination? I want to know who put his name into the Goblet of Fire?"
Albert raised his eyebrows slightly and asked, "You want me to tell your fortune?"
"I guess so!" Sirius nodded. This was his responsibility as a godfather. He couldn't know that Harry might be in danger and do nothing, watching Harry face the impending danger alone.
"In fact, we don't need divination to guess that it was the You-Know-Who's minions who threw Potter's name into the Goblet of Fire." Albert picked up Crookshanks to prevent him from knocking over the two-sided mirror with his claws. "This should be considered saving you some money."
"How can you be so sure?"
Even though Albert had said that Voldemort might be planning to harm him in the Triwizard Tournament, Harry still couldn't understand why Voldemort would do that.
Albert looked at Harry as if he were an idiot.
"What's the problem?" Harry asked even more confused.
"Harry, Albert just said that Peter Pettigrew attacked him. Since it was Peter Pettigrew who did it, it is obvious who threw your name into the Goblet of Fire." Hermione looked at Harry speechlessly, not understanding whether he really didn't understand or was pretending to be confused.
After listening to Albert's words, Hermione felt that this was a conspiracy set up by Voldemort. Moreover, Albert's guesses were always accurate, which made her have to consider the results of his guesses.
"Voldemort is very likely to do something to you during the Triwizard Tournament. You should be careful." Sirius' eyes were full of concern for Harry. "The result of the Triwizard Tournament is not important. You should always prioritize your own safety."
"But… "
"If Peter Pettigrew wanted to stop Albert from participating in the Triwizard Tournament, it could only be because if he participated, your chances of winning would be very low. There is no doubt that Albert's participation might disrupt Voldemort's plan. I think they probably have other backup plans." Sirius interrupted directly, "I know what you are suspicious of, but I don't think Albert has any need to deceive you."
On the other side of the two-way mirror, Sirius sighed softly. Even if he didn't believe Albert, he wouldn't show it in front of him. Besides, Albert really had no reason to do that.
In Sirius's opinion, Harry was not worth being deceived by Albert.
The most important thing is that many of what Albert said at the beginning came true, such as Harry being involved in the Triwizard Tournament.
Sirius went to Albert because he actually hoped that he could help look after Harry in his spare time, but he also realized that he had no reason to ask Albert to do so, unless he was willing to pay a large sum of Galleons to hire Albert for help. Perhaps the other party would help take care of Harry for the sake of the Galleons.
Sirius had originally intended to do so, but with Harry beside him, he had no choice but to postpone the matter and discuss it with Albert later.
"But why would Voldemort do this?" Harry asked confusedly.
Sirius also fell silent. He was actually thinking about this question: Why did Voldemort do this
If Voldemort really wanted to murder Harry in the Triwizard Tournament, it would make sense, but there was no need to involve Albert. In Sirius's opinion, Albert was an extremely dangerous guy, and none of the unlucky people he targeted had a good ending, just look at Peter, and Ludo Bagman who is still hiding.
To be honest, Sirius doubted whether Peter was really capable of a sneak attack on Albert
He suspected that Peter might have tried to do that, but was discovered by Albert, and then he set up a trap to test someone, such as Mad-Eye Moody. Although Sirius had dealt with Moody before, it was a long time ago and the two sides were not familiar with each other.
So, compared to Mad-Eye, Sirius was actually more willing to believe Albert, the young man who could predict the future.
In Sirius's opinion, Albert's intuition and observation skills were simply terrible. He was captured by the other party in exchange for money. Even the unlucky Peter Pettigrew was thrown into prison because of this. Sirius no longer regarded Albert as a student since then.
Under the gazes of Harry, Hermione and Sirius, Albert calmly stated his "speculation". "It's very simple. After the resurrection of the You-Know-Who, he planned to sacrifice you as a savior. Don't you think this is a good idea? Because of you, Voldemort has fallen into such an embarrassing state now. Killing you with his own hands to wash away the shame is undoubtedly what Voldemort must do, so that his servants can be in awe of him. Maybe Voldemort will pretend to duel with you, and then kill you in front of the Death Eaters. Not only will he get his revenge, but he can also prove that you, the savior, are a joke. He can also gather other Death Eaters again in a short time, killing two birds with one stone."
"The mysterious man will be resurrected?" Hermione screamed in shock. Fortunately, Albert cast a spell around her so that her scream could not be heard.
"All signs indicate that something terrible is about to happen." Albert put his hand on Hermione's shoulder, motioning her to calm down first. "I think it's completely reasonable to consider the worst. I can guess it even without the prophecy. You probably don't know that the centaurs actually have a similar prophecy."
"What prophecy?" the three said in unison.
"The Centaurs believe that the wizarding world is just experiencing a brief period of peace between two wars." Albert looked at the puzzled Harry with a look of idiocy. "As long as you use your brains a little, you will realize that another wizard war is approaching, perhaps in the last few years. What exactly caused this wizard war? Even if I don't tell you, you can probably guess it!"
"So that's how it is. After Voldemort is resurrected, will it trigger a second wizard war?" Black muttered in a low voice. He thought Albert's speculation was reasonable.
"But, this is just speculation?" Harry said confusedly.
"Harry, I think you'd better believe it. It won't do you any harm." Hermione whispered, "In fact, you didn't notice at all that Albert's predictions basically came true, and last time I remember you said that Trelawney made a similar prediction for you. I remember it seemed to be..."
Hermione got a notebook from somewhere, opened it and read out a passage recorded in it: "The Dark Lord lies alone, friendless, abandoned by his men. His servant has been chained for twelve years. This servant will break free of his chains and set out to join his master. With the help of his servant, the Dark Lord will return, more powerful and more terrible than before."
"Hermione, I thought you didn't believe in prophecies," Harry muttered.
"I just don't trust Professor Trelawney. At least she was an absolute liar when she was teaching us." Hermione had a very bad impression of Professor Trelawney.
"Oh, by the way, there is one more thing. Last time, when you divined Peter for me, the man you saw in the crystal ball was Barty Crouch." Sirius said to Albert, "Old Barty Crouch's son died in Azkaban prison a long time ago."
"Died long ago in Azkaban?" Harry repeated doubtfully. "But you mean Barty Crouch Jr. is still alive?"
"If Peter could fake his death and escape, why can't young Barty?" Sirius thought that young Barty's survival might be related to old Barty.
"Is Barty Jr. a Death Eater?" Harry asked suddenly.
"Yes, he was a Death Eater, and was later captured by Moody and imprisoned in Azkaban."
"Perhaps, you can control Moody, give him some truth serum, and ask him if he is a fake, or you can go to Batty's house and take a look." Albert gave this suggestion irresponsibly, "Perhaps, you can have an unexpected surprise."
"But, didn't you say that it was Professor Moody who helped you get the name..." Hermione was a little confused, but she soon figured out the reason and looked up at Albert in surprise.
"Actually, I think your suggestion is good." Sirius interrupted. "But... Dumbledore probably won't do that. Moody is his old friend. Before Dumbledore finds any flaws in Moody, Dumbledore will never use Veritaserum or Legilimency on him. That would be disrespectful to an old friend."
Albert shrugged and said irresponsibly, "I just said it casually, you don't need to care."
"You are not just saying this casually." The corner of Sirius' mouth twitched slightly. "As for whether Barty Crouch has any abnormality, I will give Dumbledore some more advice. He should pay special attention to Barty Crouch's situation."
"Okay, do you have anything else to say? If not, I'm going back to bed." Albert said, hiding a yawn.
"I hope you can help take care of Harry. I mean I hope you can help predict the contents of the three projects and tell us. Of course, I will pay enough fees. Anyway, you also want to know the content of the first project, don't you?" Sirius hesitated for a moment, and still said to Albert in front of Harry.
"Sirius, there is absolutely no need for you to..." Harry didn't want Sirius to waste Galleons on him.
"I've already told Harry some of my guesses for free." Albert yawned again and continued, "Based on previous competition items and the hint given by Barty Crouch, the first item should be against some kind of magical creature classified as XXXXX."
"Magical creatures classified as XXXXX," Sirius frowned. The number and types of magical creatures classified as XXXXX were not large.
"I'll talk to Dumbledore and see if we can let Mu... Never mind, Lupin and I will go over and help you with accelerated training. We will never let you go directly to the battlefield, Albert, do you need it?"
"I don't need it." Albert shook his head.
"That's right. With your ability, you probably won't be afraid even if you face a fire dragon alone." Sirius still recognized Albert's strength.
"I suggest you take Potter into the woods to see the world, there are many interesting little creatures there," Albert gave Sirius some advice. "The Acromantula is a good choice, as long as you are careful not to be ambushed by those beasts. You can also collect the venom of the Acromantula to sell. I remember that thing costs a hundred Galleons per pint. Let Harry kill a few Acromantulas with his own hands, and he won't be afraid of ferocious magical creatures. Also, remember not to tell Hagrid that it was my idea. Those spiders are the descendants of the spiders that Hagrid raised before."
"Oh my God, Hagrid has a nest of giant eight-eyed spiders in the Forbidden Forest." Hermione thought this was ridiculous.
"To be precise, those Acromantulas were not raised by Hagrid," Albert corrected. "He just released two Acromantulas, and then a nest of spiders appeared. Many wizards suspect that there is a breeding farm for Acromantulas in the Forbidden Forest."
"A breeding farm for Acromantulas?" Harry thought that he should take Ron along as well, so that he could calm down.
"If everything is fine, I'll go back to sleep." Albert yawned, got up and walked away.
"Has he ever killed an Acromantula before?" Sirius asked curiously.
"I heard Fred and the others brag that when Albert was in his first year, he broke into the Forbidden Forest and used a guardian tree to single-handedly take down a large group of eight-eyed giant spiders," Hermione recalled.
Sirius opened his mouth in shock. He thought he had been naughty enough before, but he didn't expect the person in front of him was even bolder than him.
"I think his idea is good." Sirius nodded and said, "I will discuss this with Lupin later. It is still necessary to take you to see the world. Although I think you may not be afraid, after all, you have the experience of facing the basilisk before, but it never hurts to have more experience."
"Oh my god, what do they think a giant spider is?" Looking at the two-sided mirror that had returned to its original state, Harry couldn't help but complain to Hermione: "Wool? Cut it and continue cutting next year?"
