Chapter 159 157. Creepy
Jon looked at the newspaper from the French magic circle, and the puzzlement on his face did not decrease in the slightest.
"I don't understand, professor, are you saying that the crisis this time comes from France? But we have been there once before, and according to Mrs. Maxime, the situation is not so bad. French wizards will not willingly succumb to the Dark Lord under the rule."
"I thought the same as you before." Dumbledore said softly, "I think things are far from being so bad. There are many factions in the French Ministry of Magic. There are indeed many people who support the theory of pure blood superiority, but they really want France It is a very small number of people who have become like the UK, but things are getting more and more wrong."
He looked into Jon's eyes.
"Everything that happened on the carriage after we returned from France was not aimed at us, but to cut off our attention from the French magic world."
"Remember after visiting Madame Maxime, after we brought Gabriel back to school, I sent people to France to collect intelligence?"
Jon nodded, Dumbledore had mentioned this to him when he was about to return from France.
"At that time, the people in charge of the Order of the Phoenix sent to France were Ron's parents and two older brothers, that is, the Weasley family." Dumbledore's eyes were deep, "Arthur and Molly are both old men of the Order of the Phoenix. The two sons Bill and Charlie who graduated from the school are also exceptional. Their family collected information in France. I believe that some things hidden under the surface will be investigated soon, but what happened in the school behind you, you Probably haven't forgotten."
Jon's pupils shrank slightly. He was very smart, but the information he learned was not as comprehensive as Dumbledore's. Now after he reminded him, he figured out the connection!
"Percy rebelled!"
"That's right, the third child of Arthur and Molly, defected to the Ministry of Magic and the Dark Lord, and escaped from the carriage." Dumbledore said calmly, "They are a pair of excellent wizards, as well They are a pair of parents who love their children very much. What happened to Percy hit them hard, and although no one else in the Order of the Phoenix would have any doubts, they still asked me to find someone to hand them over to prove themselves. work."
"The intelligence agency that had just been in operation in France for a short time was forced to change people at this time, and then I let Sirius take over from the couple."
Jon couldn't help holding his breath, he didn't speak, because he knew very well that logically, he shouldn't know the grievances of previous years, and he shouldn't know that the mouse lurking on the carriage is Wormtail.
But even if he didn't say it, Dumbledore had helped him sort out the relationship later.
"The gray hair you found came from the Animagus form of a person, and the person who had this form was a Death Eater who had been missing for a long time in the magic world and had a deep hatred with Sirius. Sirius Once he knows the news about him, he will definitely not stay in France. He wants to capture and kill him with his own hands. And now he has become the wizard named 'Nigelus Dippet' , looking for their enemy at school with Lily and Lupine."
Jon's face was full of shock, without Dumbledore going on, he also knew the reason for these strange problems that occurred during this period of time in the carriage.
"The Dark Lord has people lurking in the school. He doesn't want to take revenge on us through this, but to stop your investigation work in France! Percy's rebellion, and the gray hair I found."
"Continuous replacement of the person in charge has led to slow progress in the intelligence gathering work in France. It is only now that Bill has sorted out the high-level relationship network and factions of the Ministry of Magic, but there has been no further investigation. But in fact, there is no need for France. Continuing to investigate, I don't know if the Dark Lord is deliberately protesting against me on the side of the carriage, or if the mouse inadvertently showed his weakness, so I can roughly guess what kind of plan he has in mind."
"Remember the night Gabriel met the Dementor?"
He suddenly asked a question that seemed to have nothing to do with the whole matter. Jon didn't react at the first moment, and after he thought for a few seconds, he murmured.
"She said that she saw a French wizard who had visited their house in the carriage?"
Dumbledore said in a deep voice.
"I don't have concrete evidence for this matter yet, but it's very likely that the Dark Lord didn't want me to continue investigating in France because of this."
"If it was really the mouse lurking on the carriage, Gabriel must have seen him. But in our impression, he is a short and fat British wizard. Why did Gabriel meet him and become What about a middle-aged wizard from the French Ministry of Magic who met her father?"
Dumbledore's words made Jon suddenly feel a chill!
At this time, he suddenly thought of something, something he had ignored before.
Since Harry Potter was killed that night, it means that James' secret keeper, Wormtail, has become a traitor. Then he has so much credit for Voldemort, why is he in Diagon Alley and Hogwarts City? Never heard of his name when he was in Fort?
Not only him, but also Voldemort's most hard-core confidant in the original book, that crazy woman named Bellatrix Lestrange, why has no one ever mentioned such a left arm and right arm?
Wormtail might be killed, but Bella certainly couldn't be given up by Voldemort, so since they didn't appear in the British wizarding world, where would they be?
Before he could think about this question, Dumbledore had already given his own answer.
"The mouse has disappeared in the British wizarding world for a long time, along with many other henchmen of the Dark Lord. We have never found out where his subordinates were sent. Now that the mouse He could be a member of the French Ministry of Magic, and the other Death Eaters who disappeared with him probably went to the same place."
Jon didn't know when he clenched his fist unconsciously. He looked at Dumbledore's blue eyes and listened to him utter a horrifying guess.
"They are all in the French Ministry of Magic, playing different roles, and becoming a French wizard with a high position in the French magic world!"
