Hogwarts Reading Days

"It seems that my luck is not bad, I didn't die in the hands of those scum!"

After Truman woke up with his eyes open, he stretched out his hand to cover his swollen head. He turned his head and saw Cedric sitting next to him flipping through the "Guide to Self-Defense". He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. It seemed that his life was saved.

"Albert thought you might be in danger, so he asked us to fish you out." Cedric put down his book and asked Truman with a smile, "How do you feel now?"

"No, the Cruciatus Curse doesn't taste good." Truman looked around and asked curiously, "Where is this place?"

"The temporary medical room of the Defense Association." Cedric said without thinking.

"What happened to those scumbags?" Truman turned over and tried to sit up from the bed, but grinned with pain all over his body.

"I have been arrested by the Ministry of Magic. As for whether I will be sentenced to death, it is hard to say. Anyway, using the Unforgivable Curse will definitely stay in prison for a lifetime." Cedric picked up the knife on the table to peel the apple, and then cut it Put in small pieces on a plate.He picked up a piece, put it in his mouth and bit it, then pushed the plate in front of Truman and asked, "What's your plan next, anyway, I suggest you disappear first."

"Resign?"

Truman understood what Cedric meant.

This is indeed the best choice.

After all, he had already been targeted by Death Eaters.If you don't hide now, the Death Eaters will probably come to the door again, and you may not have such luck next time.

"What about you? What are your plans in the future?" Truman asked back.

A while ago, Cedric directly gave up his promising job at the Ministry of Magic because of the Death Eaters and went into hiding.

"Albert said that after this Wizarding War is over, I can continue to return to work at the Ministry of Magic. At that time, the minister should be... Jin Silai of the Order of the Phoenix. With this relationship, it will be easy to continue to be promoted in the future. A lot." Cedric picked up another piece of apple and continued: "You may also consider returning to the Ministry of Magic to continue working in the future."

"Forget it, Muggle wizards have a lot of resistance, so it may be difficult to get a good position." Truman shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Albert seems to be planning to build a large greenhouse, and I will help him take care of the plants in the greenhouse." Bar!"

"Oh, I know about this. Albert also asked me to find Professor Sprout as a consultant." Cedric took out a simple map from his robe pocket, which was a rough plan of the village.

"He can always arrange everything clearly, but he doesn't know when this damn war will end!" Truman took the map and glanced at it, and couldn't help but smile wryly.

"It should be in the last two years. Anyway, the Second Wizarding War will end soon. We need to be patient." Cedric believed in Albert's prediction.

"I'm actually more curious. Why do those scumbags want to arrest me, just because I'm Albert's friend and because I attended that wedding?" Truman gritted his teeth in pain, and the pain caused by the Cruciatus Curse still lingered on him.

"Because the mysterious people were in a hurry, or the Death Eaters were in a hurry, so in order to win the final victory, they used such indecent tactics by any means!"

Kenneth appeared outside the door, looked at the two people communicating in the room, and said, "And you happen to be a Muggle wizard, and you are the best target, so they chose to start with you in order to control the bad influence to a certain extent. within range."

"How about the others?" Truman asked again, "Have they been targeted by the Death Eaters?"

"It's fine for the time being. The Death Eaters should not dare to act rashly. They are probably afraid of stepping into the trap again." Cedric shrugged and said, "This time, the Ministry of Magic has arrested a large number of dark wizards again, and it is estimated that they will be beaten. It hurts."

"It's normal. Even if the mysterious man has a lot of minions, he can't afford to waste like this, and many of them are willing to join, just to fish in troubled waters and get some benefits for themselves. No one is willing..." Before Kenneth finished speaking, Truman gave interrupted.

"No, they are willing, otherwise there won't be a group of people to catch." Truman said bitterly, "It's not just me this time, don't forget Cedric's time was the same."

"As long as there are enough interests, someone will always be lucky."

"I think Albert should take some time to hurt them, lest the Death Eaters try to torment us all day." Truman took the last piece of apple on the plate and wiped it with a big gulp, "We have to give those scum a little bit." Take a look, lest they make trouble all day long."

"The United Ministry of Magic lured the Death Eaters out to deal with them?" Kenneth withdrew his hand reaching for the plate, and asked with a smile, "How high do you think this possibility is?"

"If you want to eat, cut it yourself!"

Cedric pointed to the knife on the table and said.

"What do you think?"

"It's useless. The Mysterious Man and the Death Eaters will become so aggressive. It's all because Albert and the Ministry of Magic made them miserable, forcing those guys to try their best to kill Albert."

"What kind of fallacy is this!" Truman couldn't help complaining.

"Even in Dumbledore's Order of the Phoenix, more than one member was killed by Death Eaters." Lee Jordan walked in from the outside, handed a bottle of potion to Truman and said, "Just prepared, it can relieve the Cruciatus Curse." pain, and you will be alive and kicking again in two days."

After Truman took it, he drank the bad-tasting potion in one gulp, and asked, "So, we can only hide here now."

"Albert thinks something big may happen next, let us not run around casually, so as not to be involved and lose our lives inexplicably." Lee Jordan reminded.

"What's the big deal?"

"I don't know, but something must have happened." Lee Jordan shook his head and said, "It's very good that Albert can reveal some information to us. In the past, he was unwilling to explain it to others."

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, thinking that there might be some reason.

"Originally, the Order of the Phoenix was in front to attract the firepower of the Death Eaters. Could it be because Albert's hatred was too high, so..."

Cedric stared at the change in Lee Jordan's expression, as if he wanted to see something else on Lee Jordan's face.

"Don't look at me like that, I don't know much." Lee Jordan spread his hands helplessly, "However, there will definitely be a big move next, Albert seems to be planning to give the mysterious man and the Death Eaters a try cruel."

"So, he told us to hide?" Truman was interested in what Lee Jordan had to say.

"It should be said that he just didn't want us to have an accident. Didn't you find that there is still no accident in the Defense Association?" Lee Jordan reminded, "He has been trying to protect everyone's safety as much as possible."

"This..." Everyone felt that there was some truth.

"Generally speaking, I still have to improve my level, at least to be able to escape calmly when encountering an ambush, so train hard recently."

"This is why Albert always emphasizes that he should protect his own life first." Lee Jordan took a bite of an apple and said, "Well, let's take the Truman incident as an example."

"At the beginning, if you escaped by jumping out of the window, you still had a certain chance of success. Although there are still a few dark wizards outside, if you can retreat on a broom, you can escape from the sky."

"I don't have a broom, and my mind was blank at the time. I thought I would Apparate after they left, but they used a spell to completely seal the entire house, and there was no way to Apparate." Truman said I think my original judgment was wrong.

"Actually, you can use the portkey, and make one now. Although it is illegal to do so, I think it is necessary to use the portkey to retreat when necessary." Cedric reminded: "I think Albert should take the time to teach us Make the Portkey."

"Well, you don't need to worry about this. Albert is already developing similar magic props, but it just takes some time, and the Ministry of Magic will definitely not allow others to use the Portkey indiscriminately." Lee Jordan shrugged helplessly and said: "The Ministry of Magic's management of Portkeys is very strict, and those who are caught will probably be severely fined."

"He's thought of everything." Kenneth complained, "He hasn't come to teach us Defense Against the Dark Arts for several days. Do you know when he will come to teach us next time?"

"When you have learned everything that Albert taught last time, he will naturally come over and continue to teach us. Otherwise, if you don't learn what you taught, you will easily lose track of the teaching progress. It is meaningless to teach too much." Lee Jordan looked around at the few people present and said earnestly, "So you should practice hard."
