Hogwarts Reading Days

Chapter 858 Stubborn Guys

The days of waiting were long and boring. The Triwizard Tournament became a mainstream topic during this period. Many students believed that Albert would become a Hogwarts warrior. He himself had a good reputation in school. Except for a few envious people, everyone believed that only Albert was qualified to represent Hogwarts in the Triwizard Tournament, and that only he could defeat Beauxbatons and Durmstrang in a crushing manner, for Hogwarts. Gwartz wins the Triwizard Cup.

This incident undoubtedly put Professor Moody in a bad mood, because he had just discovered that Albert's popularity was too high when he sneaked into Hogwarts school.The temptation of the first class of school made Moody's mood fall to the bottom.Because, he found that Albert Anderson was a very powerful wizard, and his own magical power was also very powerful, he didn't look like a mudblood at all.He suddenly understood why Wormtail was so wary of him. He was indeed a guy who would pose a major threat to the Dark Lord's plan.

Wandless magic and silent spells are not skills that school students can easily master. Coupled with the super abilities shown in the classroom, it will not help the warriors of Beauxbatons and Durmstrang, because they are no longer at the same level. It is not an exaggeration to say that adults beat children.

This can still lose?

If you continue to follow the original plan and make Harry the fourth warrior, even if you know the content of the game in advance and help Harry quietly, it will be difficult to guarantee that Harry can win the championship trophy one step ahead.

The best way is to prevent Albert from participating in the selection of the Warriors. As long as he is unable to participate in the competition, Harry will undoubtedly have a chance to win the championship trophy with his help, allowing the original plan to continue, but this will undoubtedly make him Others have doubts, even Dumbledore will realize that there is a problem, because Dumbledore also believes that Albert will become a warrior of Hogwarts, and Albert himself has said that he will participate in the selection of warriors , the worst thing is that no one can compete with him for the Hogwarts warrior. Once he loses the election, it will cause a series of problems. It means that Albert is likely to be controlled by the Imperius Curse, or someone tampered with his memory and used the Forgetting Curse on him, making Albert directly miss the opportunity to vote, and once the Forgetting Curse encounters a powerful wizard, it will not It works, and Moody's current identity cannot be exposed, and it is easy to expose his identity by doing redundant things.

Is it only possible to modify the original plan?

Professor Moody was a little reconciled, because he had racked his brains to figure out how to help Harry get a high score, and even started paving the way for Harry.

If he abandons the original plan and changes to take people away directly during the third game, his identity will definitely be exposed, and it is hard to say what the probability of success is, after all, under Dumbledore's eyes. There is indeed a great risk in not taking Harry away by surprise. This incident will definitely alarm Dumbledore. It will obviously take time for the Dark Lord to resurrect himself. Moody can't be sure how long it will take Dumbledore to find Harry. The advantageous position, once Dumbledore went to disrupt the situation, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Damn Anderson, if only he could be killed.

After a few days, Moody actually agreed with Wormtail's original proposal, but the best time to kill Albert was the chaos caused by Malfoy at the World Cup camp, and they had already missed that opportunity.

When Moody was thinking about how to arrange Albert Anderson, he didn't realize that he had already been arranged first.

Albert exerted influence on Dumbledore through Sirius and Harry, which made him have some doubts about the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor. Once doubts arise, he will definitely pay more attention to Moody, which will undoubtedly bring Moody A lot of trouble.

Yes, Albert didn't want Moody to stare at him at all, so he threw "only" Dumbledore at the opponent very unscrupulously, and let them fight wits and bravery by themselves.

As long as Dumbledore has doubts about Moody, even if it is just a trace of suspicion, certain behaviors of the other party will be interpreted differently in Dumbledore's eyes, and when he finds himself being targeted by Dumbledore, Moody also Don't dare to mess around, otherwise flaws will inevitably be revealed, and even the slightest flaw may ruin the Dark Lord's plan. It is impossible for Moody to find trouble with Albert at the risk of the plan failing.

He had to think of other ways, which made Moody feel strangely irritable.

Especially when they just came out of Dumbledore's office, they just discussed the Triwizard Tournament, which is one of the reasons why Dumbledore invited Moody to the school. to avoid other problems during the Triwizard Tournament.

After returning to his office, Moody glanced at the looking glass on the table that he had broken, and moved his eyes away from the buzzing spy device on the table, and turned his attention back to the demon mirror, which can Reflect your enemy, the closer the enemy is, the clearer the figure on the mirror will be.

Under normal circumstances, Moody will use this mirror to judge who the enemy is approaching his office, so that he can restore his original appearance at night without being noticed by others.

Walking to the window and looking at the scenery outside, Moody frowned and thought about the next thing. He still thought that Albert should be excluded, but he must not be allowed to do this. He had to think of a new way.

Moody's first plan is: let the Slytherin students attack Albert on the day of the selection of the warrior, so that he will directly miss the selection of the warrior.

The excuse is also very simple, because the two sides have enmity, and they don't want Albert to become a warrior.As for what will happen to the group of used cannon fodder, that's not what he should care about.

But Moody thought about the strength comparison between the two sides, and suddenly felt that this plan was very unreliable. Even if the group of people attacked Albert, it was impossible to ensure that he could be stunned and hidden, and it was even more difficult to guarantee the smooth implementation of the plan. The loophole in the plan is that the strength gap between the two sides is too large, and although many students in Slytherin dislike Albert, the conflict between the two sides has not reached that level, otherwise they would have fought long ago.

The second plan is: find someone to hold Albert back, it is best to give him some medicine, so that he accidentally misses the Triwizard Tournament, but this is not easy, because Albert himself is a very powerful master of medicine , and won the potion championship, it is not easy to give him medicine, and ordinary people are not up to the task, Albert is a very vigilant guy, he must find a reliable, Bert has some connections and is not easily suspected to complete this task.

Moreover, using the Imperius Curse to control people can't be done by him himself, he has to pick himself out, and it's best if the two parties have little contact.

The last thing is what potion to use. The reason for using this potion must be undetectable, otherwise Dumbledore will definitely have doubts.

This is very troublesome, Moody can't think of any good solution for the time being, and his own understanding of Albert is also very limited, he must collect more information, and he needs to ask Wormtail, the implementation of this matter may fall to Wormtail hand.

"What a troublesome guy." Moody murmured, looking at the figure walking towards Hagrid's cabin.Because he found that Albert actually stopped, as if he had noticed something, and looked this way.There was a long distance between the two parties, and he was still standing behind the window, so he didn't worry about the other party finding out at all.

Moody was right. Albert did feel that he was being watched. It was just an instinctive reaction to stop and turn around. But Moody guessed wrong about one thing. Albert did not I saw who was spying on me, but I already guessed who it was.However, Albert didn't care too much, because he believed that Moody would not have much time to trouble himself in the future, and he would not act rashly, and he had already decided to take the time to divination for himself another day to see if Moody would be selecting warriors Sometimes, other bad things happen.

After knocking on the door and entering Hagrid's cabin, Albert found that Hermione was also here, and she seemed to be chatting with Hagrid just now.

After seeing Albert, Hagrid immediately became expressionless. It was obvious that he was very upset that Albert did not take the improvement class on protecting magical creatures.

"What are you guys talking about?" Albert looked at Hermione, and his eyes fell on the box on the table. There were several badges inside. The letters on the badges were: SPEW.

"Vomit?"

Albert looked away from the badge, and said to Hagrid next to him, "Don't be angry with Hagrid, after sixth grade, I had to give up a few courses to ensure that my schedule can accommodate other courses."

"So you dropped Care of Magical Creatures?" said Hagrid angrily.

"Yes, because I don't really like dealing with magical animals, and I don't plan to take this path in the future, so it's normal to give up." Albert said directly, and I'm also very busy. I have a bunch of parties every week. Heaps of letters to answer, and piles of papers, not to mention homework.Now I have to help Blake deal with the magazine issue, and Isobel plans to publish a book, and I have to help her keep an eye on it. It is not easy to find time to come to your place for a cup of tea every week.

"Hmph!" Hagrid snorted dissatisfiedly. He felt that Albert was making excuses, but he still poured Albert a cup of hot tea.

Of course he knew that Albert was very busy, but he gave up the Protection of Magical Creatures class still made him a little emotional. The number of people in the advanced class of Protection of Magical Creatures was really... appalling.

"Well, I know you're busy, and the whole school is saying that you're going to be a Hogwarts Champion." Hagrid turned away from the unpleasant topic.

"I do intend to participate in the announcement of the warriors. The Triwizard Contest is a very interesting competition. It would be a pity to miss it. As for whether I can become a Hogwarts warrior, I can only wait for the day when the warriors are selected." Albert drank the lipstick tea, looked back at Hermione and asked, "What's with your 'vomit' badge?"

"It's not vomiting, it's SPEW!" Hermione explained angrily. "It means the Society for the Advancement of House-Elf Rights."

"So, did you not give up in the end?" Albert asked with raised eyebrows.

"I agree with your point of view, but I think it is still necessary to establish an association."

"Hermione, I think it's very bad of you to do this, it's in the nature of house-elves to take care of humans, they'd be sad if they weren't allowed to work, and it would be an insult to house-elves to pay them. Hagrid reminded seriously, he didn't understand why Hermione was so stubborn on this matter, he cast a begging look at Albert, hoping he could persuade Hermione to give up this stupid idea.

"But, Harry freed Dobby, and Dobby was so happy, and didn't Albert also hire a house elf?" Hermione cast her fiery eyes on Albert.

"Really?" Hagrid looked at Albert with some surprise, but with Albert's character, it didn't seem strange to do such a thing.

"That's not hired." Albert shook his head.

"That one is completely different from a house-elf. I saw him wearing clean and tidy clothes." Hermione pointed this out bluntly. Ordinary house-elves don't know how to wear clothes at all.

"That's not a piece of clothing, it's just a piece of cloth with three holes, at least that's what it looks like to house elves." Albert shrugged and said, "My promise is still valid, if you really want to Write a novel to guide and appeal to wizards to treat house elves kindly, and I can help you."

"Hermione, I think you should take Albert's advice. You will never be able to convince most elves to fight for freedom—really, it's impossible." Hagrid agreed with Albert's words, and felt that was the most important thing. The best way to help house elves.

"It's hard." Hermione said sadly, "Most families with house-elves are pure-blood wizarding families, and their attitude towards house-elves...you haven't seen the Sirius family treat Kreacher." Attitude. It will never be possible to change their minds through novels, and there are not many wizards like Albert who are open-minded and willing to treat house elves as family members in the magic world."

"Perhaps, you are right, but you are too anxious, and some things cannot be resolved with all your enthusiasm." Albert sighed softly and said, "I suddenly understand why the Sorting Hat has assigned you to the Sorting Hat. Gryffindor."

"I chose Gryffindor myself," said Hermione.

"This kind of thing has to be guided slowly, and it can't be achieved in one step. Anyway, house-elves have been enslaved for 1000 years, and it's nothing to wait a few decades. If you don't slowly reverse the attitude of wizards towards house-elves now If you don't let people sympathize with house-elves and think that they are reliable friends and helpers for wizards, one day you become the Minister of Magic and want to promulgate laws about house-elves, and it will be difficult to implement them. At that time, people will oppose you , and even some people will ask you to step down, turning you into a bereaved dog that everyone shouts and beats."

"I think Albert's words are very reasonable, and his approach has a high probability of success. Obviously, if your plan is reliable, you'd better trust him, because Albert's proposals for many things can be realized, just like my following His suggestion is like successfully saving Buckbeak." Hagrid agreed with Albert's point of view with both hands, but he didn't think Hermione could become the Minister of Magic. If Albert became the Minister of Magic, it would really be a big deal. possible.As for Hermione, the probability is too low.

"Well, you're right, the wizarding world should be made to sympathize with house-elves, and I'll find time to come up with novels," Hermione muttered.

Hagrid cracked his lips into a grin, and cast his face at Albert, as expected of you.

At this time, there was a strange rattling sound from the box next to the wall. Albert turned his head and found that it was coming from the box in the corner.

"I got a box with a similar effect to your suitcase." Hagrid explained with a smile: "It contains the results I made a while ago: fried-tailed snails. I used manticores and 60 Fire crabs can only be bred, do you want to see it?"

"Give me one quietly," Albert said.

"Hold on."

When Hagrid opened the box, there was a very strong smell of rotten fish and rotten shrimp, which made Albert feel sick to his stomach.

Soon, Hagrid caught a fried-tailed snail. The smell of rotten fish and rotten shrimp became stronger. It looked like a shelled lobster. It looked very bad, and what was even worse was the fried-tailed snail. Some sparks would be shot from the tail of the dog, and the rough-skinned Hagrid might not be afraid, but the other students would be in bad luck.

"Hagrid, I have to remind you that if you continue to breed snails, you will definitely violate the "Prohibition of Animal Breeding Experiments" decree. Be careful that the Department of Management and Control of Magical Creatures will trouble you. The manticore itself is a XXXXX-level danger Creatures, fire crabs are XXX-level dangerous creatures, which means that the fried-tailed snail is at least a XXX-level dangerous creature, and it is more likely to be a XXXX-level dangerous creature when it grows up." Albert picked up a spoon and tapped the skin of the fried-tailed snail Said, "Fire crabs have solid shells, which means that snails most likely have strong shells, and this thing will definitely be more dangerous. Trust me, if you let students grow this thing in class, the protection will be amazing. Biology class will definitely become the most hated subject, bar none, because this thing is too dangerous."

As he said that, Albert did not forget to point to the tail of the snail. "Such a small tail is quite lethal. When they grow up, it is not difficult to guess how dangerous they will be."

When the two left Hagrid's hut, Hermione said to Albert: "We should persuade Hagrid to give up cultivating Blast-tailed snails. In the protection of magical creatures class last time, many students were injured by its tail. Once Hagrid figured out what the snails eat, I guess they'll be six feet all of a sudden, and if the Ministry of Magic knows we're breeding XXXX dangerous creatures, Hagrid's going to be in big trouble."

"It's hard, just like you won't give up 'vomit'." Albert shook his head.

"It's the House-Elf Rights Association," Hermione corrected feebly.
