Chapter 1324: You really deserve it
The shelter that Scrimgeour had so painstakingly prepared fell, or rather the shelter that Albert prepared for the employees of the Ministry of Magic fell.
The Aurors collectively chose to be outsiders after Scrimgeour's death, and after the Hopkins family was arrested as George mentioned last time, Albert had expected this. Kidnapping children to bring relatives into submission has always been a problem. It was an old trick of the Death Eaters, that is, the time was much later than he predicted.
The Death Eaters are not very efficient!
However, this is actually a good thing for them.
“Do you think they treat me as a fool, or are you a fool yourself?”
Albert shared this incident with Isobel. He felt that looking at the problem from other people's perspective should be able to discover some overlooked things.
"They probably...maybe have the mentality to give it a try regardless of whether they can get your help. What if they succeed?" Isobel's words silenced Albert. The group of people from the Order of the Phoenix really Maybe you think so.
“It’s possible.”
After thinking about it for a while, Albert really felt that this was the case.
After losing Dumbledore, the level of the Order of the Phoenix declined collectively. Just look at the stupid move they made in trying to get the "truth" from Harry, and you'll know how poor their actual standards are.
“What are you going to do about Hagrid?”
Isobel glanced at the message in the communication bookmark. She was actually more concerned about this matter. She knew that Hagrid was a good friend of Albert, and Albert would usually be willing to give him a hand if possible.
That's right, Hagrid was captured by the Death Eaters, the day after they took control of the Ministry of Magic asylum.
The new Minister of Magic, Piers Thicknesse, made a random excuse and asked the Aurors to go to Hogwarts to arrest Hagrid. It is said that most of the Aurors went. Facing a large group of wizards with relatively rich combat experience, Hagrid didn't even have a chance to escape. He was arrested by the Aurors in his class and is currently keeping company with the dementors in Azkaban.
Although Sirius believed that Hagrid was caught because he tried to stop the Death Eaters from taking away the little girl from Hopkins on the night they returned to school, Albert felt that it was just a random excuse.
After Cobain Yaxley subdued the Aurors of the Ministry of Magic, he naturally needed to test whether the knife was sharp. The Death Eaters had long wanted to give the professors of Hogwarts a showdown, and asked McGonagall to The deans, headed by the professor, stayed calm and took the opportunity to see if they could lure out the mice hiding in the dark, such as Harry Potter, Harry Potter, Harry Potter.
“Let him be locked up first.”
Albert's tone was as calm as if Hagrid was really just a stranger.
“This doesn’t look like you.” Isobel was surprised.
"I warned Hagrid a long time ago, but he... I can only say that it was his own choice. Even if he really lost his life, he can't blame anyone." Albert said quietly: "I believe that in Az It would be good for Caban to stay a little longer."
“You seem very angry?” Isobel reached out and rubbed Albert’s cheek.
"I just think sometimes if they don't let themselves suffer some losses, they won't remember it for a long time. Maybe people are like that." Albert didn't mention Hagrid too much. He had already encountered too many such things. , you are responsible for your own choices.
Isobel didn’t say anything more. She could see that Albert was in a complicated mood and didn’t want to continue mentioning this matter.
As for Hagrid, he probably won’t die.
However, I will probably have to bear the consequences of my stubbornness in Azkaban.
Prophecy!
Sometimes being too accurate is not a good thing.
Compared with Albert's calmness when he learned the news, Harry, Hermione and Ron, who were Hagrid's good friends, had been worried about Hagrid's safety after learning the bombshell news, and tried hard to get help from Albert. Contact, hoping to discuss saving Hagrid with Albert.
"How did he say."
Harry drank a large glass of tranquilizer and turned to look at Hermione, who was holding a communication bookmark.
"He said... it was Hagrid's choice." Hermione's hand holding the communication bookmark was trembling slightly.
“What do you mean?” Ron looked stunned.
“It means that Hagrid didn’t listen and deserved to be caught.” Harry couldn’t help but smile bitterly.
It’s too lazy to care!
In fact, he should have guessed Albert's attitude towards this matter.
"So, Albert just doesn't care about Hagrid's life or death?" Ron's eyes widened in disbelief: "But... isn't he Hagrid's good friend?"
"What can he do? Think about your brother and the bad things in the Ministry of Magic asylum. Isn't that Albert's fault?" Hermione looked at the content on the communication bookmark and murmured: "Maybe , this is the helplessness of prophets, they predict what disaster will happen, but it is always difficult to change anything."
"Do you think it's Albert's fault because he didn't save him?" Hermione thought Ron's fallacy was simply ridiculous.
"I didn't say it was his fault." Ron turned his head away from Hermione.
“Let’s have a drink!”
Harry poured Ron a glass of tranquilizer.
"No thank you, I'm calm." Ron raised his hand and refused. He hated this thing, and he felt that Hermione needed a tranquilizer more than he did.
"I insist!"
Harry put the glass of tranquilizer into Ron's hand and poured another glass for Hermione. After he watched the two of them finish drinking, he said to Hermione: "Ask Albert, should Hagrid?" Something will happen!"
"Maybe!"
Hermione was quite helpless about this. The three of them had tried to persuade Hagrid to leave Hogwarts temporarily more than once, but Hagrid was unwilling. Now, something happened, and even the most likely person to remove him from Azkaban Albert, who was fished out of prison, didn't bother to care anymore.
"Hagrid has now paid the price for his stubbornness. I remember that he seems to be very afraid of Azkaban. Why bother?" Harry sighed helplessly. He knew very well that he could not help Hagrid, let alone Hagrid. Ge has been sent to Azkaban. Even if he wants to rob the prison, he needs to find out where the prison is first.
“No one likes Azkaban.”
Ron also fell into silence, because he had also persuaded Hagrid.
After Albert's words came true and Hagrid was imprisoned in Azkaban, he also realized how stupid Hagrid's stubbornness was, and that it was entirely his own fault that he would end up like this.
However, Ron has always been unwilling to admit this, because weren't Bill's wedding and Charlie's death caused by their stupidity?
Had they been willing to accept Albert's advice, perhaps Charlie and other innocent people who died tragically would not have lost their lives.
Old Hopkins's betrayal and the fall of the Ministry of Magic asylum, he also knew that it was not Albert's fault, but Ron still couldn't stand Albert's face.
Because only Albert could reverse the situation and accomplish those impossible feats, but Albert was unwilling to give up on them directly with a little effort. He gave up so quickly and neatly, just like throwing them away casually. Drop a piece of waste paper.
Even if his good friend Hagrid is inside.
"Unless the Death Eaters really want to kill Hagrid to vent their anger, Hagrid will definitely be fine for a while. At most, he will stay in Azkaban for a year and a half." Hermione made the final conclusion, "Let It doesn’t matter if he suffered a little in Azkaban, sometimes people really won’t wake up unless they suffer a little.”
“Sirius and the others said the same thing,” Harry said suddenly.
“Is the Order of the Phoenix planning to give up Hagrid temporarily?” Ron murmured.
"They have no choice but to see if there is any good solution from Albert's side."
However, the result was that Hagrid was temporarily given up.
“They think Hagrid will be fine in Azkaban for the time being.”
After Harry saw the effect of the tranquilizer taking effect, he talked about another thing.
“This weekend, I plan to go to Hogwarts to attend the Dumbledore’s Army party. You guys should come with me too!”
“A gathering of Dumbledore’s Army?”
Hermione frowned slightly. She found that Harry was now particularly enthusiastic about organizing a rebellion against the mysterious man.
"Yes, although it is just a process in the past, it can improve everyone's confidence and cohesion." Harry thought of Albert's words, "They support me and support me with actions, which is much better than most wizards who just talk. "
Harry knew what was happening at the Sanctuary. Although many wizards expressed support for him verbally, they were actually a bunch of empty words and were never willing to do their part to fight for that peace.
Harry doesn't blame them, but...everything is afraid of comparison.
Compared with them, the students at Hogwarts are much cuter, and these are the people he needs to fight for. Even if their defense against dark arts is average, Harry is not worried at all. He believes that as long as they go through After half a year of special training, the students of Hogwarts will eventually grow up, and the people in the Defense Association are the best proof.
“We do need more supporters and more people to bravely stand up against the mysterious man.”
Hermione also knew that Albert planned to send someone to teach the students at Hogwarts, so she felt it was necessary to win the students at Hogwarts to their side.
No one knows how long this wizarding war will last.
One year, two years or more, and a few years are enough for the members of Dumbledore's Army to fully grow up, and they will all become the middle force against the mysterious man's minions.
Harry has confidence in Albert's teaching level, which has been verified by members of the Defense Association.
However, this kind of conversation is not very friendly to Ron, who has a slow mind and has never thought about these issues. He cannot think of so many things at once like Harry and Hermione, so that he is confused. Sometimes when I listen to them talking, I always feel a little... baffled, and I even feel like a fool.
