Chapter 1197 Voldemort gets his wish
That night, the news that Cedric helped Harry organize a DA party quickly spread among the students at Hogwarts. Hogwarts, which was approaching the cold winter, became lively because of this. More and more students were interested in the so-called DA party. There is interest in DA gatherings, and many junior students are asking around about how to join the Defense Association.
Of course, Slytherin students are excluded from DA gatherings, and the reason is very simple, in order to prevent anyone from sneaking in to inquire about secret information.
A small number of Slytherin students were dissatisfied with this and complained about Albert's "Defense Association", believing that Harry was treated differently.
The answer here is also very simple:
Slytherin students don’t need to worry about Death Eater attacks at all, because the vast majority of Death Eaters come from Slytherin House.
This statement is almost pointing at the noses of Slytherin students, saying that Slytherin House is the home of Death Eaters.
This statement was also unanimously recognized by others.
There is no way. The pile of nonsense made by the mysterious man and the Death Eaters is so hateful that everyone is naturally on guard against the students of Slytherin House.
Who knows if they will actually become Death Eaters in the future.
Moreover, many people also want to join the "Defense Association" formed by Albert after graduation, learn more advanced black magic defense skills, and also want to protect themselves in the Second Wizarding War, and have a good relationship with Albert. It doesn't hurt, just look at some of his friends.
In this case, how could they allow students from Slytherin House to come in and disrupt the situation?
Cedric told Albert these things and reported to him that there were graduates who actively wanted to join the "Defense Association".
Albert had a reputation for reliability, and the thriving Fred, George and Lee Jordan were the envy of graduating students.
“Although we have recruited a large number of students into the school at once, I still feel that they are not very reliable. The sense of confidentiality of that group of people is really bad.”
During the communication with Albert using the double-sided mirror, Cedric did not forget to express his concerns to Albert. He felt that the students at Hogwarts were very unstable, and he clearly reminded them to keep it confidential, but that group of people still Secrets revealed.
What if those people leaked the headquarters of the Defense Association after joining, wouldn't that be the end of the world?
"Don't worry, not everyone has the courage to fight against the mysterious man, and not everyone will be absorbed by us." Albert said calmly, "We will also develop some peripheral members, similar to the Anti-Toad Alliance members who never joined the Defense Association."
Albert never expected everyone to have the courage to confront the mysterious man, so he divided the defense association very early.
Those who are willing to join and have the courage to fight against the mysterious people, Albert will naturally welcome them and is willing to teach them black magic defense knowledge and techniques.
Another group of people who are willing to join but do not have the courage, Albert will also welcome them, and provide them with limited information and help, allowing them to secretly support the fight against the mysterious man and become the so-called popular base.
"Look, I told you not to worry. Albert must have thought through most of the problems." Lee Jordan smiled and patted Cedric on the shoulder and said, "That guy always thinks better than us. farther."
“Kenneth should come over and get a house here soon, what about you?” Fred said suddenly.
“What house?”
Cedric looked at the other people next to him in confusion, hoping that someone could help him figure it out.
“I’ve chosen a location, and it’s not easy to build my own house.”
Truman has already begun to prepare for the future. If Scrimgeour is unfortunately assassinated, then the Ministry of Magic will really not be able to stay any longer. At that time, running here to join forces with others will undoubtedly be the best choice. At least there is no need to worry. life safety.
“Didn’t I say that Albert bought all the land in this village?”
Cedric looked at Truman in confusion, obviously not understanding what Fred said. To be honest, I was shocked when I first heard the news.
“Albert allowed us to build a house here,” George explained.
"According to Albert's plan, this will be the base camp of the Defense Association, and there is no doubt about safety issues." Fred said with a smile, "If we can defeat the mysterious man, we plan to build a wizard village here."
"Of course, we don't know exactly how to do it. I'm afraid we have to ask Albert directly. I think he must have made all the plans." Lee Jordan has great confidence in Albert. He believes that Albert If Bert actually planned to do this, he must have made arrangements and plans.
Everyone will eventually get married, have children, and have their own home, so isn’t it normal to choose here now?
There is no need to worry about the future yet.
"We plan to put the laboratory and processing plant here. There are too few shops in places like Diagon Alley after all, and if you want to reduce costs, it is best to produce some raw materials yourself. Albert seems to be planning to put it here. Plant some herbs.”
"And..." Fred joked with a smile, "If you build a home here, you can soon consider getting married after Qiu Zhang graduates."
“Then why aren’t you engaged to Angelina?” Cedric asked, not wanting to be outdone.
"I also think that even if Angelina refuses, there is nothing I can do?" Fred shrugged and said, "So, you'd better seize the opportunity and get engaged after Qiu Zhang graduates, Albert Teke has set a good example for us.”
"As for work, it's even easier. If you really can't find it, we will definitely be able to make room for you here." Lee Jordan smiled and patted Cedric on the shoulder and said: "According to Albert's plan, We will definitely be short of people next time.”
"Let's talk about it then!" Cedric said casually. He still planned to return to work at the Ministry of Magic. Truman was interested in this. He was engaged in Muggle liaison work at the Ministry of Magic. He had been very busy recently, and he was a member of the Ministry of Magic. A marginal figure, Truman didn't mind changing to a new job if he could get a more lucrative one. "
“By the way, is that guy Kenneth trustworthy?”
“It is believable at the moment, that guy probably also wants to make a lot of money relying on Albert!”
Fred saw through Kenneth's little thoughts at a glance, "After all, we are the best case, and that guy's brain is also very bright. He was used as a bait for a while, but now he finally managed to survive. Why? To give up a good future.”
“Do you think that guy can get what he wants?” Cedric felt a little incredible.
"Sure, Albert has always been very generous. If he plans to expand his business segmentation, Kenneth will definitely come in handy." George said with a smile, "That's why I invited you to join us."
“There’s so much work.”
“Maybe!” Fred said uncertainly, “After all, it was Albert’s original words.”
"Now I want to know more about when Albert will ask us for a more advanced defense against dark arts." Truman was flipping through the books left here. He felt that it would take a lot of effort to learn these things by himself, and was waiting for Albert to come over. Teach them!
"I just asked, and he said it might take a while. The poor fortune-telling master captured by the mysterious man seems to be dying." Cedric noticed that everyone else was looking at him and immediately explained. : "That person is already very old and cannot withstand the torture of the mysterious man."
“So, Albert is actually waiting for the divination master to die?”
"Probably because he doesn't want to reveal his location!" George said without thinking: "Divination should be able to locate Albert's approximate location, so he hid in a place protected by Chi Dan, so that even if he wanted to use divination, it would be difficult to find his specific location. "
Just when a group of people were discussing Cassandra Wabraski, the author of "Looking Through the Fog to See the Future," the old man was indeed in a bad situation as they expected.
Although Voldemort did not use the Cruciatus Curse to torture the old man, his series of actions still accelerated Cassandra's death. Her energy was now much lower than before, and she was even dying.
So, Cassandra finally agreed to help Voldemort with divination in exchange for a chance for her family to survive.
Although the old man did not expect Voldemort to fulfill his promise, she needed to have something on her mind.
"I saw Scrimgeour's death, and he died in your hands." Cassandra Wabraski reached out to touch the crystal ball, looked at the Minister of Magic who fell to the ground and died, and said hoarsely: "Now Are you satisfied?"
"Very good, I want to know when that old guy Dumbledore will die!" Voldemort glanced at the content on the crystal ball and motioned to Cassandra Wabraski to continue divination. He knew that this old guy could do it. , just refused to help.
However, after Voldemort ordered all her family members to be captured, the old man finally compromised.
“I feel like I might be dying!”
Cassandra Wabraski said tiredly: "Let them go, I will help you make the last prophecy, I think you must also want to know the result, and I can give you some news by the way, this It’s a deal, it’s fair, even if you kill them it’s meaningless, I’m going to die anyway, everything becomes unimportant after death.”
"I agree, but I want to know where that mudblood will appear next time." Voldemort said coldly, looking at the dying old man in front of him.
As for her promise to spare her descendants after her death, Voldemort didn't care at all.
“As you wish, I hope you can fulfill your promise!” Cassandra Wabraski looked at Voldemort deeply and slowly closed her eyes.
No matter what the result was, she tried her best.
