MTL - Study Days at Hogwarts-Chapter 1290 wanted
Chapter 1290 Wanted
The sun was still rising from the sky in the early morning, and the people who woke up from their sleep were unaware of the series of major events that happened last night. They enjoyed breakfast as usual while reading the "Daily Prophet" delivered by the owl postman, just like this. Unprepared for breaking news:
Scrimgeour resigns as Minister of Magic.
This news, which is enough to shock the jaws of countless people, suddenly appeared on the headlines of the "Daily Prophet".
Nobody knows why Scrimgeour resigned, but it's definitely not normal.
While the entire magic world was still in a state of confusion, the news that Pierce Thicknesse had taken over as the new minister spread quickly.
People gradually realized what happened, but no one dared to stand up.
This coup was almost silent, without any waves.
Maybe, it has something to do with Voldemort not announcing usurpation, but hiding behind the scenes to manipulate the Ministry of Magic.
This is a very sensible approach.
Even if Voldemort is not sitting in the minister's office, everyone agrees that he is the new Minister of Magic. As for Thicknesses, he is just a puppet used to deal with daily affairs.
There is another advantage of doing this, that is, it is not easy to attract open resistance from the entire British magic community, let alone international disputes.
Of course, after Voldemort took control of the Ministry of Magic, what he did was not only pushing the puppet to the top, but also extending his hand to Hogwarts. Regarding Snape's appointment as the headmaster of Hogwarts, it was only one year away. a formal document.
As for who killed Dumbledore, the blame was of course the famous Harry Potter. As the number one villain, his bounty was as high as 10,000 Galleons.
Of course, Harry is not alone. He is not the only one who has been offered a reward, and Albert has also been offered a reward. Moreover, the bounty offered is as high as 20,000 Galleons, which is beyond the reach of even the famous savior.
Those people who died tragically in the Burrow were all pinned on Albert's head. Notorious and murderous can't describe Albert's brutality.
However, the guests who attended Bill's wedding knew what happened, but none of them dared to stand up and speak out for Albert.
On issues related to their own life and death, they flinched.
However, the person involved didn't think there was any problem with this, and instead looked at the wanted list in the newspaper with great interest.
"So, he gave me the title of a murderer, and the reward is only 20,000, which is too stingy!"
Albert, who was drinking afternoon tea, picked up the wanted list on the table, and couldn't help complaining: "What was the reward for the mysterious man back then?"
"I remember that the highest used to be 10,000, and your 20,000 is probably already breaking the record." Lee Jordan couldn't help but teased, "Why, you still want to surrender yourself to the Ministry of Magic and give your reward Galleon to the leader gone?"
"That's a good idea." Albert curled his lips and said, "If they are willing to pay, I don't mind dying once."
"Die once?"
Cho Zhang, who was sitting next to Cedric, cast a puzzled look.
"Use compound medicine." Shanna said without thinking, "Disguise others as Albert, and directly impersonate to receive the reward."
"The compound medicine has been used for a long time, and it will be exposed after it expires."
"The biggest problem is that the British Ministry of Magic won't give this Galleon." Albert shrugged, "Otherwise, he can give up his morals and go and collect his bounty by himself. How about 20,000 Galleons are considered a lot of money."
"You are not short of money."
Everyone rolled their eyes at Albert. Although they didn't know what Albert was going to do, there must be something he said.
"Who said I'm not short of money." Albert put the teacup under his reward order, "Maintaining the normal operation of this place also requires Galleons, don't you guys naively think that the things you use just came out of thin air? of?"
Everyone fell silent suddenly.
None of them could be of much help in this matter.
No way, whoever told them to just graduate is a bunch of poor ghosts.
"It seems that we will have more work in the future." Lee Jordan said suddenly.
"What job?"
"Robbing a dark wizard." Lee Jordan said naturally, "If you encounter them in the future, you have time to not only take away their wands, but also empty their pockets."
A group of people actually discussed this matter seriously.
No way, who let them have no money?
But it doesn't matter, they don't have it themselves, the enemy must have it.
The originally serious atmosphere suddenly became weird.
"However, they are too blatant now. Everyone must know that the mysterious man has controlled the Ministry of Magic." Angelina said doubtfully, "I think few people are fools, especially from the "Prophet Newspaper" Seeing the new changes in the Ministry of Magic, even Harry Potter has a bounty on it, and there are so many Aurors who witnessed Scrimgeour's death at the time."
"Many people will actively hypnotize themselves and are unwilling to believe these so-called truths." Truman, who once worked in the Ministry of Magic, has more say than most people here, "As long as their lives and property are not threatened, most Ministry of Magic employees are actually I don't care who I work for, anyway, everyone is only working for the Ministry of Magic, and it doesn't matter who is the minister."
"As for the Aurors, it is obviously impossible to expect them to risk their lives to tell the truth. You can't expect everyone to stand up against the mysterious man like Kingsley."
"It's unbelievable. Many people have experienced the last wizarding war. How could they think that the mysterious man..." Qiu Zhang really couldn't understand.
"It's because many people have experienced the wizarding wars, so they all know how to protect themselves and their families." Kenneth said eccentrically, "Isn't there Harry Potter, the savior anyway?" ?”
As Kenneth Toller, who has been in the gray area, he knows these things better than most people.
In fact, if it wasn't for Albert's extraordinary strength, plus he is really good to his friends and is a worthy investment object, Kenneth would not even sit here, but began to think of various ways to make money for himself .
"Then what should we do now?" Shanna asked sideways.
"Nothing to do, wait patiently, the Ministry of Magic will soon issue some unfriendly regulations." Albert suddenly asked Lee Jordan: "By the way, how is the situation of the Weasleys?"
"It's not very good. They were tortured by the Cruciatus Curse, and their bodies are very weak. Now they can't go to St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Injuries and Injuries. In the end, Professor McGonagall asked Mrs. Pomfrey to help with treatment." Lee Jordan tentatively Asked: "How about you go and show them, I remember that you also have research in the field of treatment."
"Forget it, I'm only average in treatment." Albert shook his head.
"The potion you gave me last time to slow down the Cruciatus Curse was very effective." Cedric reminded that he thought the Weasleys might also need that potion.
"I remember that there should be another bottle in the medicine cabinet here. Fred and George must have taken it away when they left."
"I think they might be too anxious to forget." Lee Jordan said suddenly.
"Then let Dobby take it to them. I remember that the effect of the thing should only be considered average." Albert looked at Cedric, who had used the potion before, and he obviously had the right to speak.
"Very effective," Cedric said.
After asking Dobby to deliver medicine to the Weasley twins, Albert talked about another purpose for coming here today.
"I plan to hold a meeting of the Defense Association this weekend to discuss what happened recently." Albert turned to Lee Jordan and said, "Also, I need our radio station to report what happened recently."
"everything?"
"All things, people have the right to know the truth, the unforgivable crimes committed by the mysterious man and his minions, and the news that the Weasleys and others were rescued." Albert thought for a while and continued. , "We still have to remind Muggle wizards and let them be alert to changes in the situation. I believe that the Ministry of Magic will start persecuting Muggle wizards in a short time. We must warn them in advance so as not to be caught off guard."
"Well, in the end, we need to open a new branch for other underage wizards to temporarily live in."
"Can't it work here?"
Cedric didn't understand why Albert went to such lengths to do that.
"No, there are traces of underage wizards, I don't want it to be exposed here." Albert tapped his finger on the table, "We need to transform a suitable safe house to accommodate them. This will not only divert Death Eaters The attention of the gangsters, let them think that is our headquarters, and this needs everyone's help."
