Chapter 651 Village Chief
"What's up with him."
“I have epilepsy!”
“Send him to the school hospital quickly.”
On the night of returning to school, something unexpected happened in the Gryffindor common room. Kenneth Toller learned that the heir of Slytherin had been captured, and Harry Potter was killed and hidden in the Chamber of Secrets. After seeing the monster, he only felt a stew in his chest, rolled his eyes, and almost fainted.
Everyone thought that Kenneth had suffered from epilepsy, so they rushed him to the school hospital. Madam Pomfrey poured a large glass of sedatives into this unfortunate guy, and he managed to calm down. He was muttering something unknown, and now he has to stay in the school hospital for observation.
Just as George laughed at him in the library, Kenneth had indeed acquired a lot of effective amulets and was planning to take advantage of the opportunity to make a fortune. However, when he found that all the goods were in his hands, he almost fainted from anger. .
This incident also caused a small commotion.
However, most of everyone’s attention right now is focused on Harry Potter and Albert Anderson.
As for Lockhart’s resignation, it has also become a hotly discussed topic.
Many students were surprised to find that the school had undergone earth-shaking changes after they had just gone back for Easter. What surprised them even more was that Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets really existed, and there was a terrifying basilisk hidden there.
This discussion continued until late April, when it was replaced by the topic of Quidditch.
As the school returned to its former calm, the originally suspended Quidditch match resumed.
Wood was probably the happiest.
This year's Quidditch match, the Gryffindor team is expected to win the championship again.
After all, the Gryffindor team had already defeated Slytherin’s powerful rival in advance.
As for the Academy Cup, Gryffindor's leading score directly made other houses despair. Even Snape had to give up his struggle. Although he still often found excuses to deduct points from Gryffindor, he still could not shake Gryffindor. Multi-academic leadership.
Time passed by May quietly, and Hermione told Albert something.
“Fred and George thought it best to come to you before doing this. If you think the plan will work, then our plan will have a good chance of success.”
After hearing what Hermione said, Albert was speechless for a while.
“Tell me about your plan!” Albert agreed to help.
The mission panel triggered a "Liberation" mission. Although the reward was mediocre, due to the friendship of Dobby the house elf, and considering the possibility of hiring house elves in the future, he was still willing to help.
After all, Albert has never disliked the many house elves. They have always been very reliable and hard-working helpers.
"We are going to send a package to Lucius Malfoy. The package will be stuffed with a bunch of odds and ends, including socks. I think Lucius Malfoy will definitely throw the package to the house elf. The problem is that we The house elf must discover the socks inside the package in time and be liberated." Hermione explained her plan.
"You haven't contacted the house elf. Maybe you can secretly send it a few letters and tell it about this." Albert said without thinking.
"Well... we are worried that the envelope will be discovered by Lucius Malfoy, causing the plan to fail!" Harry explained, "We hope you can help us with the divination, or Fred and George say your words are accurate."
"Well, I think you have a good chance of success." Albert also thought that the house elf would leave the Malfoy family.
If Harry really sends the package.
"You can write out your speculations and send them to Lucius together. I think that guy will be very angry after reading it." Albert gave Harry some suggestions, "By the way, tell him that when the mysterious man comes back, he will find out that He would be very angry if the treasure he saved was lost."
“The mysterious person kept it for the Malfoy family?” Harry asked in surprise.
“So, Lucius Malfoy is going to be in trouble soon?” Ron looked happy.
“No, he is already unlucky. I think you probably didn’t read the Daily Prophet carefully the past few days.” Albert handed a newspaper to Ron and pointed to part of the content below:
Lucius Malfoy was expelled from the school board.
Of course, the reason will not be written in the "Daily Prophet", only a few short sentences, but Albert's words undoubtedly come true.
“Great!” Ron cheered. “I don’t think Malfoy can be so arrogant anymore.”
Harry was also happy to see Malfoy out of luck.
Fred and George laughed outside the door, followed by a knock on the door. When the door opened, Fred, George and Ginny were standing outside the dormitory.
“What are you whispering here again?” George asked
“Let old Malfoy lose his servant.” Albert changed the subject: “What were you laughing at just now?”
"We bumped into Percy on a date." Fred smiled extremely evilly, "We were kissing in an empty classroom. It was a prefect of Ravenclaw named Penelope Crevat."
“Bumped into?”
Albert looked at Fred and George quite speechlessly, clearly bumping into them on purpose.
"You will get beaten by Percy if you act like this. No one wants to be disturbed on a date." Albert reminded.
"including you?"
“Including me, of course.” Albert said noncommittally, “Actually, they started dating very early.”
“You already knew it!”
"If you go to Mrs. Puddy's Teahouse, you will bump into them. Of course, I promised Percy that I would keep it a secret for him." Albert blocked Fred and George's complaints smoothly.
“Will they get married in the future?” Hermione had a good relationship with Percy and also liked hearing this kind of gossip.
"It's a bit difficult." Albert noticed that everyone else was looking at him and shrugged helplessly: "Percy will probably enter the Ministry of Magic. In fact, it shouldn't be difficult for you to guess this. If he wants To climb up, you need to find a powerful pure-blood wizard family to marry into to ensure a smooth career path."
"I shouldn't have asked you." Fred and George couldn't help but put their hands on their faces, no longer having any expectations for Percy's love.
"Is it really?"
The cruel reality was a big blow to Hermione.
"The magic world is actually very exclusive. The top leaders of the Ministry of Magic are all controlled by pure-blood wizards. Muggle wizards can't get along in the Ministry of Magic." Albert said to Hermione: "I guess you will enter the Ministry of Magic in the future, and the journey will probably be very difficult. Difficult, unless you find a backer. As for Potter, there should be no such problem. The Potter family is also an ancient family, and Harry Potter is also a savior, which is a plus."
“What about you?” Hermione asked again.
"I have never thought about entering the Ministry of Magic, and I am not interested in the power of the Ministry of Magic." Albert smiled and asked, "How many people do you know in the British wizarding community?"
“Ten thousand?”
“I don’t know, I don’t think there are ten thousand. The number of wizards is actually very small.”
"The total number of wizards in the UK is probably equivalent to a village! It is not difficult to estimate the approximate number from the students who enter Hogwarts every year." Albert sarcastically said: "The Minister of Magic is, to put it bluntly, a village chief."
Although it sounds ironic, it is true.
