  Chapter 1323 The troublemaker

  The news that a group of Harry Potters appeared on the Hogwarts Express train spread throughout the entire British wizarding world overnight through newspapers and letters. Even if the reporters of the Daily Prophet try to distort the truth, most wizards still see part of the truth in the newspaper that they want to believe.

  The British wizards are not fools, they are just a group of ordinary wizards who seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and like to act as a wall to protect themselves.

   What's more, there are many pairs of eyes on the Hogwarts express train.

They witnessed the domineering Death Eaters forcing the stop of the train, and ran to the train to catch the Hogwarts students. They also saw the famous Harry Potter riding a broomstick to expel the dementors, subduing the Death Eaters to rescue them. The captured Hufflepuff girl.

  Now that the savior Potter is willing to stand up against the mysterious man, the British wizards are more happy than anyone else.

   If possible, no one wants to live under Voldemort's rule. They can continue to persevere, just because of life. As long as their interests are not involved and their lives are endangered, even if most people don't support Harry in words, they will support Harry in defeating the mysterious man in their hearts.

  Of course, their support is nothing more than that.

Compared with the complex wizards, the little wizards of Hogwarts are not so thoughtful. What they see is the savior Harry Potter standing on their side, helping everyone defeat the group of people The Death Eaters, who hated dogs, helped them vent their anger.

   That's the real one.

As for the "Daily Prophet", which tried to distort the facts, it also succeeded in gaining enough hatred for itself. It is said that some wizards who are not used to the ugly face of the "Daily Prophet" even sent them roaring letters, mocking the "Daily Prophet" » twists the truth to turn Death Eaters into employees of the Ministry of Magic.

  Harry, who has been following the news from the outside world, was also swept away from the depressed mood of practicing the Fiercefire Curse when he learned about it. He also disliked the ugly face of the Daily Prophet.

  As for the contents of the newspaper, Harry didn't feel any problem, he was just curious about what Albert wanted to do. After contacting the Weasley brothers to get an overview of the situation, they stopped paying attention to this matter.

  Just because Harry himself doesn't care, doesn't mean that others don't either.

   "Albert asked me for some hair before, but I didn't expect him to do it." Harry's calm appearance made Ron not know what to say for a while.

   "That..." Ron considered his words carefully, "Will this incident attract the attention of the mysterious man and the Death Eaters to our side?"

   Originally, Harry was enough to attract hatred, and Ron really didn't want to be taken special care of by the mysterious man and the Death Eaters.

"We don't have any special actions for the time being, so we don't need to worry about being targeted at all." Hermione reassured, she didn't think Albert would intentionally trick Harry, on the contrary, if the operation continued like this, Harry would become more appealing, even…

   "We can even use fake Harry to distract Death Eaters later."

  After using polypharmaceuticals anyway, most people can't tell if they are real or not.

When the fake three-person team appeared at the same time, Hermione believed that the Death Eaters would definitely be confused, because Albert's side did not have her and Ron's hair, and the "smart" Death Eaters would definitely notice this. At this point, it will be recognized that only when Harry, Hermione and Ron appear at the same time, Harry at that time will be real.

   While the three of Harry were discussing what happened yesterday, the entire British wizarding world was also discussing it. The students of Hogwarts, in particular, were even more enthusiastic about this. The appearance of a dozen Harrys last night had become the hottest topic today, and the badges of the shield and wand were also discussed.

  Now the students already know that it is the badge of the Defense Association, and they know what kind of organization the Defense Association is, but yesterday's action made everyone know the Defense Association again, and they are also full of curiosity about this magical association.

   Taking advantage of everyone's curiosity, Neville's private reorganization of Dumbledore's Army went more smoothly than expected, and many original members of Dumbledore's Army were willing to return.

   After all, the Defense Association looks really powerful. It can be seen from their devastating defeat of the Death Eaters that they all have a high level of defense against the black arts. The Aurors of the Ministry of Magic are probably at this level.

  However, it is rumored that the members of the Defense Association are all recent graduates.

   Then can they do it too?

  Of course, everyone is also full of curiosity about the famous Harry Potter, wanting to know why Harry appeared there and what exactly he wants to do?

  Everyone's enthusiasm for reorganizing DA was higher than Albert expected. On the first day of school alone, the three led by Neville, Ernie, and Luna successfully reorganized Dumbledore's Army.

  Of course, they didn't rashly use the name Dumbledore's Army, and even seldom used the name of DA. That would really attract hatred, and it would easily attract the attention of the Death Eaters headed by Snape.

  Under Luna's suggestion, everyone agreed to use the wizard card club as a cover. Anyway, Luna is the administrator of the club, so it is no problem to change the frequency of monthly gatherings.

   As for forming an illegal party?

  We just played a card together, how could it become illegal.

  The influence of the Harry Potter incident is actually more than these things.

   It is said that someone found mysterious people and Death Eaters near another shelter for Muggle wizards, and even two unlucky people who went out were unfortunately killed.

The reason is also very simple. Albert asked everyone to put the loot they looted in another house protected by the Fidelity Curse near the Muggle wizard's shelter, so as to prevent anyone from bringing the items carrying the Tracking Curse back to the headquarters. Being cautious undoubtedly saved many lives, and taught the members of the Defense Association a hard lesson, forcibly suppressing the excitement of the little wizards.

  Countless people were horrified to find that once the mysterious people found their lair, the defensive magic on the periphery couldn't stop the mysterious people at all.

  In the case of a sneak attack at night, they didn't even have enough time to hide in the association headquarters protected by the loyalty spell.

   "Everyone is freaking out!"

  George carefully observed Albert's expression, and asked in a low voice, "Did you predict it a long time ago?"

   "Some guesses."

   "Guess it?" Everyone was surprised.

"You've stripped other people of their valuables, so don't you allow them to use them in reverse?" Albert threw down the nonsensical "Prophet Newspaper" and ordered: "Continue to send the "Daily Prophet" Roaring letter, and remember to mention the fact that the content of the "Daily Prophet" has always been controlled by the Ministry of Magic in the wizard lookout station. Whether it was before or now, it is best to label the "Daily Prophet" as untrustworthy , lest others continue to be misled by the newspaper.”

   "The Daily Prophet itself can't be trusted!" Lee Jordan, who put down his fork, couldn't help reminding.

"As long as you keep repeating the reminders, it's easy for people to subconsciously label the Daily Prophet as unreliable." Cedric understood Albert's intentions and asked the next thing directly: "Will Harry Is it really okay for Potter to take him to Hogwarts?"

   "That's what Harry meant," Albert said.

   "Yes, Harry did say that." George nodded to Cedric and said, "Don't worry, Harry will definitely not cause trouble for you."

   "I think he has caused enough trouble in recent years." Kenneth complained sharply.

   He didn't support Harry's adventure at Hogwarts anyway.

  George pretended not to hear, and continued, "He has been practicing the Diemerblaze Curse recently, and wanted to ask you if you have any tricks to control Diemerblaze."

"No. It's actually a slow process. It's similar to practicing transfiguration. It requires more precise control over your own magical power." Albert took a sip of milk tea, looked at those whispering guys, and warned Said: "Don't try the Fiendfire Curse rashly. There are never any unlucky people in history who were burned to death by their own Fiendfire Curse for the first time. I don't want to find that this place has been burned to ashes when I come back. Guys who are in awe of the dark arts usually die very badly."

   "You can teach us!"

  Kenneth is very interested in this spell. If it were changed to the past, he must not have the courage to practice the Fiercefire Curse, but it will be different with Albert by his side.

   "I don't have that much time, and it's useless to learn so much black magic. It's better to play and understand a few practical spells, and you will find that they are more reliable than those black magic that require a long time to recite."

Albert raised his hand and suppressed it, telling other people who wanted to say something to shut up, then turned his head and said to Fred: "Let the Order of the Phoenix appease the group of fearful wizards again, and see how many People are willing to join, if they are still not willing, then continue to recommend them the package to leave the UK, sending people abroad is better than staying in that kind of crappy place."

   As for the difficulty of recommending Defense Against the Dark Arts items to them and making them willing to pay for them, it's a bit difficult.

  Most Muggle wizards are actually relatively poor, which is a helpless reality.

  Muggle wizards have no background and low social status, so it is not easy to find a good job.

   This is a social tendency.

   "By the way, there is one more thing." George hesitated for a moment: "Do you still remember the Hufflepuff girl we rescued yesterday?"

   "Abducted by Death Eaters again?" Albert was not surprised by this at all. After the little girl refused, he guessed the other party's ending.

"Yeah, I heard from Hagrid that when the Hogwarts train just pulled into the station, a lot of dark wizards came from Hogsmeade. Hagrid tried to stop it, but failed. I heard Kingsley say that Hope The entire Kings family was arrested."

   "Hopkins?" Albert had no memory of this surname.

   "Remember the shelter that Scrimgeour made?" George looked at Shannah, who handed Albert a parchment.

   "I remember reminding them to remember to destroy after use." Albert knew why the Hopkins family was arrested.

"No, Scrimgeour gave it to old Hopkins, who was also Moody's colleague. They took his family away just to force him to hand over that access card." George smiled wryly, " If they had destroyed that pass, they wouldn't have had to worry about that."

  After all, Albert is the secret keeper of that shelter.

   Even if the Death Eaters capture the Hopkins family, it won't help.

"The Order of the Phoenix is ​​worried that the mysterious person will completely control the place. As you know, many family members of Ministry of Magic officials are hiding in that shelter. Once the place is lost, the entire Ministry of Magic will completely fall into the hands of the mysterious person." Fred and George exchanged glances, expressing the concerns of the Order of the Phoenix.

   "That is also impossible." Albert was indifferent to this.

  To be honest, in Albert's opinion, it doesn't matter whether the shelter fell or not, especially after the Aurors betrayed Scrimgeour, Albert had no intention of helping them.

  Any excuse, the moment they refused to contact Kingsley, the mark of betrayal had already been branded.

  Sometimes Albert really felt worthless for Scrimgeour.

   "Are you really planning to leave it alone?" George asked again.

  Actually, Fred, George, and Lee Jordan were not surprised by this result, especially since the crisis was caused by their own suicide, so there was no reason to take the risk to save them.

   "We can't help them, Scrimgeour who can help them is dead." Albert shook his head.

   "But aren't you the secret keeper there?" Cedric's family also stayed in that shelter.

   "All we can do is provide some limited help, instead of thinking that we can change everything, that would be too arrogant." Albert looked at Cedric, who was a little dazed, and shook his head.

   "Yes, as long as you destroy that access card..."

   "I reminded them to destroy it, but they didn't do that." Albert shook his head, "And, it's too late."

"late?"

   "The Hopkins family has been arrested. If it were you, what would you do?" Albert asked back.

   "..."

  Cedric had a bitter face, he understood what Albert meant.

How to do it?

  Of course, it is to hand over the access card to save the lives of his family members.

   What about the other wizards in the Sanctuary?

  What else can I do?

   All I can say is sorry.

   Hopkins Sr. may feel ashamed, but he will definitely keep his family first.

   As for betrayal, that is also betrayal.

  Cedric suddenly understood why Pettigrew Peter betrayed the Potters.

   "Are they going to be okay?" Cedric asked, shaking his lips.

   Albert said in relief: "I can't think of a reason why the Death Eaters killed pure blood on a large scale."

   "You're right, Death Eaters are pure-blood supremacists." Cedric murmured as if to comfort himself.

   "It's not that I don't want to help, but it's too late, and if you do something, you have to bear the consequences. Don't expect someone to come and wipe your ass."

Albert continued to say to everyone present, "Just like I have reminded you more than once, don't bring the loot directly back to the headquarters. If any of you take chances and bring back the item with the tracking spell, It caused the mysterious person to follow the tracking magic to find this place, thinking about the terrible consequences, it is very stupid to expect the enemy to be merciful."

  Albert of course would not tell them that he had cast a powerful shielding spell around the village, and it would be difficult for the mysterious man to find it even through tracking magic.

   But even for him, it is difficult to avoid all kinds of accidents that may occur, and the group of guys who like to jump in front of them really need a good beating so that they can calm down and continue to receive exercise.
