Chapter 1409 Percy’s Choice
“So, Percy is really the spy you secretly planted in the Ministry of Magic?”
Since they had doubts about Percy, the Weasley twins took the time to ask Albert about it.
“That’s right, we all benefit from each other!”
Albert glanced at Fred and George and could probably guess what they were looking for.
“Percy is a very ambitious person. He is eager to succeed. You all know this. He wants to climb up and change his destiny. This is a very real problem.”
“He came to me when he was still at the academy. I gave him some career advice and helped him, and he helped me find out some news about the Ministry of Magic. It was mutually beneficial.”
Albert made a shushing gesture towards the complicated-looking Weasley brothers, "Of course, this kind of thing cannot be disclosed to the outside world. After all, it is related to Percy's own life safety."
"No wonder that guy didn't join the Death Eaters." Fred couldn't help complaining, "After all, he had a falling out with his family, so maybe he also..."
“Half-truth and half-falsehood!” Albert shook his head and said, “I don’t know the specific situation very well.”
“It really seems like what that guy would do, take all the benefits!” George laughed at himself: “No matter who wins in the end, he can face it calmly.”
"No, he should still prefer that we finally defeat the mysterious man. No one wants to live in such a bad environment." Albert paused and looked up at the door. Penello was standing there with his arms folded. It seemed like he had something to say to Albert.
“Were you able to contact him?”
After Fred and George left the office one after another, Penello suddenly asked.
“It seems you can’t let him go yet!” Albert said softly.
"I'm not as ruthless as that guy. He sent me away with just one letter!" Penello laughed at himself: "I only want one result. No matter what the result is, I can accept it calmly."
"I don't know what's going on with Percy, but... I can help you divine it!"
Albert waved his wand to summon a crystal ball out of thin air and began to divine Penello. He got the answer they wanted with almost no effort.
In the divination crystal ball, Percy was having dinner with a beautiful girl.
“Well, it turns out it’s Audrey!”
Penello stared intently at the picture shown in the crystal ball and murmured: "They are quite a match. They are both purebloods and both work in the Ministry of Magic... It's really enviable."
After getting the answer, Penello turned and left.
Looking at Penello's lonely figure, Albert couldn't help but shake his head. Even though he had changed the fate of many people, some things remained unchanged.
Not long after Penello left, Zannah came in to report to Albert the news that had just been delivered from the Order of the Phoenix.
"They found Mundungus Fletcher, and he's still alive."
“Oh, how’s that guy doing?” Albert asked.
"It's not good. I'm all confused. The mysterious man forced me to read through my memory, which messed up Mundungus's mind." Shanna still remembered why Albert reminded her to pay special attention to Mundungus.
“That guy really knows how to…”
"Don't contact Mundungus yet." Albert interrupted, "Have you confirmed the identity of that guy using the Marauder's Map?"
Albert apparently saw Mundungus's deal with Fred and George as a breakthrough.
Anyway, it’s better to keep an eye on that guy for the time being.
Compared with the news about Mundungus, the news that "Percy Weasley is actually his own business" somehow leaked out and spread to the Order of the Phoenix very quickly.
“So, Percy is actually a spy planted by Albert at the Ministry of Magic?”
Harry, Hermione and Ron, who were the first to learn the news, could not hide their surprise. The news really shocked them. However, Hermione, who was the first to realize that something was wrong, quickly reminded them that something was wrong. .
Once the secret news that Percy is a spy is completely spread, Percy, who is still serving as the Assistant to the Minister in the Ministry of Magic, will definitely be finished. And this kind of thing should be kept strictly confidential. How it spread is really confusing. No clue.
The most troubled person is Mrs. Weasley. She was extremely happy when she learned the news, but she soon became unhappy because if a bunch of people knew the secret, it wouldn't be a secret anymore.
To this end, the Order of the Phoenix held an emergency meeting. They agreed that Percy should temporarily give up his job as Assistant to the Minister of Magic and immediately find a place to hide to avoid the disaster that may bring to him if the news is leaked.
Percy was shocked when he first received the news from his father's patron saint. He really couldn't understand how this matter spread.
If this matter reaches the Ministry of Magic, he will definitely be finished.
After confirming this through Albert, Percy immediately chose to run away to ensure his own safety.
So when Walton McNeil took the Aurors to catch him, Percy had already disappeared.
This incident really made the new Minister of Magic, Piers Thicknesse, furious. Anyone who found out that his assistant was actually a spy would not look good.
Percy, who left the Ministry of Magic, quickly reintegrated into the Order of the Phoenix and was welcomed by the Weasleys. Because he was indeed Albert's spy at the Ministry of Magic, and he brought back a lot of useful information to the Order of the Phoenix.
As for the reason for not joining the Defense Association, Albert once said that Kingsley is likely to become the next Minister of Magic. This led Percy to think that educating Kingsley first would be a good way for him to return to the Ministry of Magic in the future, and even serve as Positions are important.
After meeting Albert again, Percy's first words were: "Penello leaked the news?"
"Who asked you to dump her!" Albert reminded, "And you only sent her a letter."
Percy suddenly fell silent.
“So, should you give me an explanation?”
Penello appeared out of nowhere, staring at Percy intently.
"I'm sorry Penelo, but love is not everything in life, especially after work. I really need a wife who can help me in my career. I need the support of other pure-blood families to help me take a step forward in my career. ."
Percy's words were cold, but they were indeed his truest thoughts, and for this he received a slap from Penello.
"I can understand your choice of Audrey, but you shouldn't use a letter to deal with me." Penello turned around and bowed to Albert: "Sorry, I have caused you trouble."
Speaking, she left expressionlessly.
"Alas! I know this is bad, but I don't regret it." Percy touched his cheek and said, "If I had not entered the Ministry of Magic, I would probably choose to marry Penello, but... I will not stop."
“What are your plans next?” Albert asked.
"Let's establish a good relationship with Kingsley first. Do you think he will continue to let me serve as his assistant to the minister after he becomes the new minister?" Percy hoped to get the answer he wanted from Albert.
"Probably... yes, after all, you are his best choice."
