Chapter 1172 The Terrible Albert
“You failed, Bella.”
Voldemort put down the newspaper and looked down at the woman lying next to him. He even forgot when he started reading these lying newspapers.
"Master, I'm sorry, please forgive me, I..."
"That's enough, you really let me down. Because of your stupidity and arrogance, we lost four more Death Eaters." Voldemort interrupted Bella's defense indifferently and raised his wand to point at the stupid woman in front of him.
“Heart-breaking!”
Bellatrix fell to the ground, writhing in pain and screaming. The Death Eaters around him all cast indifferent looks at Bella. They had already had enough of this crazy woman.
"I don't want this stupidity to happen again." Voldemort raised his wand and warned the Death Eaters present.
In fact, Voldemort never expected Bella to be able to kill the cunning mudblood from the beginning, but this woman's stupidity and arrogance killed several Death Eaters, which was the real reason for Voldemort's anger.
In less than three months, the number of Death Eaters has been reduced by a quarter. How could this not make Voldemort angry? Even in the last Wizarding War, there were no such serious losses.
This was almost a series of slaps to Voldemort, and at the same time, he was hit **** the face. Those who didn't know better thought that Voldemort's nose was flattened by someone.
“Alecto!”
"Owner."
“Is there anything you want to tell me?”
Voldemort stared sharply at the only two Death Eaters who had escaped.
"That mudblood's connection with the Ministry of Magic is deeper than we expected. He is using the power of the Ministry of Magic and the Order of the Phoenix to attack us." Alecto lowered his head, "Maybe we should get rid of his help first. Let’s deal with that mudblood again.”
“Albert Anderson.”
Voldemort whispered the name of the Mudblood who had caused heavy losses to the Death Eaters.
"I'm wary of him, but that mudblood has proven to us more than once that we're not wary of him enough."
“He has the power to predict the future, and he uses this ability very cleverly to attack us with the help of the Ministry of Magic and the Order of the Phoenix.”
"But, is it really possible? Scrimgeour is definitely not an idiot, how could he believe it so easily." A new Death Eater couldn't help but raise his own question, which immediately attracted the attention of other veteran Death Eaters.
In fact, anyone who knows about divination knows that it is often a joke. It is very difficult to predict the future, let alone accurately predicting the future. It is simply a fantasy.
"That Mudblood is undoubtedly smart. He always has a way to make Scrimgeour believe what he says." Alecto looked at Snape and asked in a positive tone, "He must have also convinced those in the Order of the Phoenix. People!"
"Yes, everyone in the Order of the Phoenix believes in his prophecies. It is said that from the time he started prophesying to now, there has been no mistake." Snape said expressionlessly under the gaze of everyone, "Of course, this may also be related to It has to do with his close relationship with Dumbledore."
Probably sensing Voldemort's gaze, Snape continued, "It is said that he is hiding in a house that has been casted by the Fidelity Charm. Only Dumbledore knows his specific location. It is very difficult to find and kill him." difficulty."
“I remember that the Mudblood was very close to the two Weasley cubs,” Alecto reminded. “They even opened a shop together.”
"Yes, it did happen, but because James Potter had been betrayed by Peter Pettigrew, Albert Anderson learned his lesson and didn't trust his friends, maybe worried about being betrayed by his friends, or Other reasons. In short, the man was very cautious, which is why he provided Dumbledore with part of the prophecy information." Snape said expressionlessly, "Dumbledore also paid a price to obtain the prophecy."
“At what cost?”
“He seems to think Dumbledore is dying and is eyeing his inheritance!”
Snape felt that Bella and the others were so unlucky because the last time the Death Eaters tried to kill him at Albert's wedding, he was completely grudged, plus ten thousand Galleons. Despite the reward, Snape was surprised that Bella was able to come back alive.
“Legacy?”
"It's a book. This is the news I heard by chance. He was worried that this part of the knowledge would be lost after Dumbledore's death, so he took away this part of the content."
"It's hard to believe he's Gryffindor and not Ravenclaw?" one of the Death Eaters quipped.
"We are not going to discuss these things today. We must get rid of this trouble, otherwise similar things will happen for the third or even fourth time."
Voldemort's face was also very ugly, because he thought of the secret base that was completely ransacked.
To this day, Voldemort still hasn't caught that **** thief.
However, he was almost certain that the guy who did this was definitely the **** Mudblood.
"I think we should ignore that mudblood first, find a way to get rid of Scrimgeour first, support our people to take over, and prevent the Ministry of Magic from becoming our enemy again." Yaxley expressed his views on this matter and told Magic It is undoubtedly a very stupid thing to do it head-on.
“We should follow the original plan, first control the Ministry of Magic, turn the employees of the Ministry of Magic into our assistants, and find ways to expand our power.”
“Yaxley.”
Voldemort never thought that the Ministry of Magic would become such a troublesome, "I need you to speed up your infiltration into the Ministry of Magic, and I will personally get rid of Scrimgeour."
"Until then, we cannot remain indifferent to the deaths of Brother Lestrange and other Death Eaters. Let everyone take action and teach the Ministry of Magic an unforgettable lesson."
“Severus, what’s the matter?”
After the meeting, looking at Snape who was left behind, Voldemort motioned for Snape to sit down and talk.
"About Draco Malfoy's plan." Snape trembled his lips and said before the Dark Lord, "His plan is not clever, and it is likely to alert the snake. If the situation is right, please allow me to use it. This is the chance to get rid of Dumbledore."
"Oh, it seems you are sure." Voldemort looked at Snape and said coldly, "I don't want you to make stupid mistakes like Bella and Lucius."
"This is actually related to another matter that I plan to report to the master." Snape explained while facing Voldemort's gaze.
"Dumbledore is injured, very seriously. Although I don't know how he was injured, he obviously doesn't have a few years to live."
"I have heard similar rumors," Voldemort said.
Dumbledore's injury was noticed by most Hogwarts students at the opening dinner.
"This is true. I checked for Dumbledore. He probably has five to eight years left to live." Snape expressed his judgment, "Although I cannot confirm whether Dumbledore's strength has been lost. But I think he will gradually become weaker."
“Draco Malfoy’s plan was to sneak a bunch of people into Hogwarts and besiege Dumbledore.”
Voldemort frowned slightly, obviously not optimistic about this plan, or in other words, he was not optimistic that Draco Malfoy would succeed from the beginning.
"I think Draco Malfoy's plan will hardly pose a threat to Dumbledore, but if the right opportunity arises, I will sneak up and kill him from behind." Snape told his plan in full, without any concealment. I intend to use others as cannon fodder.
Of course, these so-called plans were not actually thought up by him, but by Dumbledore. However, Snape probably didn't know that this whole plan actually came from Albert's hint to Dumbledore, asking him to make some contribution before he died.
"Don't let me down, you know the consequences of failure." Voldemort said coldly.
However, what Voldemort didn't know was that an hour later, Snape was reporting to Dumbledore about tonight's events in the principal's office.
"You did a good job, Severus." Dumbledore said softly, "However, you need to pay special attention to Draco and don't let him implement those unreliable plans, which will affect the lives of Hogwarts." It’s dangerous for students.”
"Danger, don't you think it's more dangerous to allow Death Eaters to break into Hogwarts?" Snape said slyly.
"So, it must be at night, when everyone has rested." Dumbledore said calmly.
"I don't think this matter can be hidden from Anderson," Snape suddenly thought of something and suddenly looked up at Dumbledore: "You are not planning to use this to catch all the Death Eaters who broke into the school, are you? ?”
"I heard that Voldemort also recruited Greyback?" Dumbledore suddenly changed the subject, "And dear Bellatrix. To be honest, I am a little surprised that she is still alive."
"That guy's methods are really frightening." Snape understood what Dumbledore meant.
“Werewolves are worthy of sympathy. No one wants to suffer from lycanthropy, but wanting to spread it wantonly is extremely infuriating, especially since Voldemort will definitely use werewolves to threaten ordinary people in the future.”
Dumbledore disliked Greyback, not only because he liked to attack children, but also because he was committed to turning more people into werewolves and spreading lycanthropy to others. Therefore, when Albert suggested that Dumbledore do something meaningful before his death, he did not refuse.
"Do you really believe in him, or are you trying to use him, just like you used me?" Snape narrowed his eyes slightly, "I think you are playing with fire. Anderson is very smart, very smart. He even uses magic The Ministry and the Order of the Phoenix were used as chess pieces, and I remember that he seemed to have won the International Wizards Chess Championship."
“Thank you for the reminder, but I agree more with what he said. This is a win-win situation!”
Dumbledore was actually not too worried about Albert. He had also watched the child grow up and graduate. He was indeed very thoughtful and smart, but from Albert's attitude towards friends and family, and even his behavior, Dumbledore was Bullide could tell that Albert was more harmless than his younger self.
To some extent, Albert is more suitable to be his successor than Harry.
"Win-win? If he knew that you asked me to convince the Dark Lord to turn the spear against him, he probably wouldn't be happy." Snape said slyly.
Why Voldemort is so afraid of Albert, part of the reason is the message delivered by Snape.
Dumbledore wanted to trick Albert into siding with the Order of the Phoenix, and the effect was undoubtedly astonishing.
This is not difficult to see from the Death Eaters who have died in the past few months.
"Albert has actually known this for a long time." Dumbledore said calmly, "He knows the dangers of mysterious people better than anyone else, otherwise he would have settled in other countries long ago. Do you really think I can convince him?"
"Isn't it the attack on the wedding that **** him off so much?" Snape thought it was the attack on the wedding that **** Albert off so much.
"Of course not, he stayed out of his own will." Dumbledore said softly, "Besides, it is useless even if the mysterious man is hostile to him, because Voldemort can't find him or his family at all. Who is better than you expected?" Also be cautious.”
“What’s more, he is a master of prophecy, able to peer into the past and predict the future.”
“Can prophecy really reach this level?”
"Yes, someone can do it to such an extent that he can predict what we will do before we do it!" Dumbledore fell into a brief memory: "It's just that Albert's prophecy talent is more powerful, he is likely to He is the most powerful master of prophecy in history, it is incredible, maybe he will be the contemporary Merlin."
“I thought you were the contemporary Merlin.” Snape curled his lips.
“You think too highly of me.” Dumbledore said modestly, “Any more questions?”
"If he is really the most powerful master of prophecy in history, I think I might die too?" Snape said suddenly.
“What do you mean?” Dumbledore looked at Snape in surprise, not understanding why the other person would say such a thing.
"Anderson once left a prophecy for me and Draco." Snape walked to the pensieve and pulled out a certain memory that had been buried deep in his memory.
Dumbledore raised his eyebrows slightly and came to the pensieve, looking at the gradually clearer memories.
“If something happens to my cat in the future, I will think it was you.”
Albert's threatening voice sounded in the pensieve, and then Dumbledore saw the memory that Snape wanted him to see, which was the prophecy given to Malfoy by Albert.
"Things related to your name will bring you an unexpected journey; the blood of the curse cannot bring eternal life, but you will be a witness, and he will be with you. Stay away from that dark shadow, Otherwise, the conspiracy will arise because of you, bringing death to you, or death to others." While he was pondering this prophecy in a low voice, Albert prophesied it to Snape again.
“Be wary of black and white and stay away from the cursed course, otherwise death will not be far away from you the moment your wish is fulfilled!”
“What a bad prophecy. I will find a chance to talk to Albert.”
Dumbledore knew what Snape meant. There is no doubt that Albert's prediction has basically come true. Both Malfoy's and Snape's predictions may come true.
