The Alchemist of Harry Potter

Chapter 736: Robbers

"He can't sit in that position for long."

Albert sat next to Isabel, took a sip of the frothy hot butter beer, and felt his body warm from the inside out.

"That's really unfortunate news."

Isabel felt that Cornelius Fudge was quite unlucky. Since Albert said so, he would lose his position as Minister of Magic in the near future.

"At the beginning, I predicted his success on the Hogwarts Express, and for this I earned my first bucket of gold in the magic world." Albert said with emotion.

"At that time, don't you know how to fortune telling, right?"

Isabel thinks this possibility is very high. Otherwise, how could Albert, who had just entered the magic world, invested a lot of Garon in the quiz activity?

"It's pure luck. I am confident in my luck, and my magic wand can bring me luck." Albert drew out the red cedar wand and added with a smile: "Mr. Ollivander said personally. Passing the red cedar wand can bring luck to the user."

Isobel took a sip of Butterbeer in silence, completely disbelief of Albert's nonsense.

"Thanks to the money we made, our subsequent transaction took place. Speaking of which, we should be able to get together, and we should thank him." Albert's gaze crossed the front tables and looked at the back of the Minister of Magic. In a calm tone, he said: "Now, I am here to predict his failure. The summer of the year he graduated from Hogwarts was the moment when he was kicked down from a height."

"You just thank him for that?" Isobel raised his eyebrows slightly, seemingly wanting to laugh.

"The result was not caused by me, it was his own problem."

"Isn't I becoming more and more like a magic stick?" Albert said suddenly: "In fact, I'm considering whether to give myself the title of a prophet. I heard that this profession is well respected by everyone."

"Well, by the way, I can make up a guise for myself to be able to see some future fragments since I was young, and disguise myself as a genius with a talent for prophecy since I was young." Albert seems to be seriously thinking about the feasibility of this plan. .

"Did you learn this silly rhetoric from Professor Trelawney?" Isobel felt that he had discovered what Albert had learned from Professor Trelawney.

"It was discovered by you." Albert reached out and grabbed Isabel's soft palm, and said to himself: "Professor Trelawney often complained to me that he was regarded as a liar by others, and no one believed her. She has the ability to predict, but I think this is entirely because she can't prove to everyone that she can predict the future, otherwise, who would treat her as a liar instead of thinking that the prophet is a mysterious person."

"Are you sure those so-called prophets are not afraid of making predictions wrong, so they pretend to be mysterious and deliberately ambiguous?" Isobel unceremoniously exposed the tricks of the prophets.

No prophet can guarantee that the future he predicts will not change. In order to preserve the “title and reputation” of the prophet, it is obviously necessary to be ambiguous, because no matter what the result is, he can give “reasonable” explanation of.

"Sometimes even if you see it through, don't talk about it."

"Did you tell the whole pub, Hagrid?"

Professor McGonagall's angry voice suddenly came from the bar, the atmosphere in the bar stagnated, everyone secretly turned their heads to look in the direction of the bar, and pricked their ears to eavesdrop. Everyone is curious about what the professors are talking about and why Professor McGonagall is so emotional.

However, the five people sitting at the bar seemed to prevent someone from eavesdropping. They deliberately kept their voices low when they were speaking, so that they could not hear what they were saying at a distance, not to mention that the bar was already very noisy.

However, this is totally unavoidable for Albert. He took out a small box from the right pocket of his robe, and inside it was something similar to a headset.

"what is this?"

Isobel noticed what Albert had brought out and asked in a low voice.

"A gadget for eavesdropping."

When Albert first went to buy butter beer, he quietly threw the magic version of the bug in the corner of the counter.

"The principle of this thing is a bit like a magical version of the radio, but it is still a semi-finished product, with many defects, and it won't work if it is too far away." Albert motioned Isobel to come over and listen.

"They are talking about Black."

Isobel approached Albert and heard the professors talking.

"You would think that Black and Potter are brothers, they are almost inseparable!" Professor Flitwick's voice came from the headphones.

"...When James and Lily got married, Blake was the best man, and they called Blake to be Harry's godfather." This time it was Fudge, and a lot of news broke out.

"Things seem to get interesting."

Albert looked at the fireplace. Hermione and Ron were pretending to drink butterbeer, and they obviously heard Fudge's words.

As for Harry Potter hiding under the cloak of invisibility, even if Albert can't see it, it's not difficult to guess what his face is now.

Isobel followed Albert's gaze and noticed Ron and Hermione who were eavesdropping by the Christmas tree. Harry Potter was obviously also eavesdropping on the conversation there.

They listened quietly to the conversation over there, and quickly weaved the context of the whole thing.

Harry Potter's parents were chased by mysterious people, and they used the Courageous Faithful Charm to protect themselves. Black, as their friend, became their secret, but Black finally betrayed and the Potters were killed by the mysterious person.

"Fate is sometimes so ingenious," Albert said softly. "It allowed Harry Potter to hear the truth."

Isabel also felt that this incident was indeed a bit dramatic.

Harry Potter just sneaked up to Hogsmeade Village, only to hear the professors talk about Black and his father in the bar?

It seemed that the professors came to drink with the three broomsticks just to let Harry Potter understand the whole thing. It was a coincidence.

"Dirty, smelly traitor!" Hagrid's angry voice resounded throughout the bar, and the entire bar fell silent for an instant.

The students in the bar pricked their ears and listened to Hagrid talking aloud about his experience with Black.

However, they could not know the dramatic changes that followed.

Blake and Potter’s good friend Peter the Ministry of Magic found Blake and asked him why he had betrayed the Potters, but Blake used a spell to blow him up.

Black was caught by the Auror who had rushed to him, and was directly imprisoned in Azkaban Prison without trial.

"As far as I know, the largest wreckage of Peter Pettigrew found by the Ministry of Magic is a finger." Albert looked at the backs of Professor McGonagall and said in a low voice.

"A finger?"

Isobel also noticed some problems. Evil spells can indeed make people ashes, but only a finger is left, which is a bit suspicious.

After all, it's hard to believe what kind of duel will cause one to lose a finger first.

From the standpoint of a bystander, Isobel saw it more clearly than others, and Albert mentioned it deliberately for other reasons.

"What secret did you find?" Isabel said with a weird expression. "Don't you think that Black is the innocent and Peter Pettigrew is the betrayer."

Think about it, it's really possible. Reality is sometimes more magical than it is.

Moreover, Isabel suspects that Albert may have a key clue.

"I found one thing." Albert said mysteriously after making sure that no one was eavesdropping around.

"what's up?"

"Who is the maker of the live map?" Albert raised his wand and turned into an umbrella, blocking the snow flying above his head for Isobel.

"Is that the map you used before?"

"Pointed fork, bigfoot, Wormtail, and Moon face."

"Do you mean that the face of the moon is Professor Lupin?" Isobel felt that this nickname was appropriate, which directly implied Professor Lupin's identity as a werewolf.

And Professor Lupin is a friend of Potter's father, and Blake and Peter are just four of them.

Professor McGonagall just said that James and Blake like to be naughty, and Hagrid also thinks that the Weasley brothers are very similar to them.

"The prongs should refer to James Potter. He is good at Quidditch and likes to be pushy. Wormtail refers to Pettigrew Peter, who is behind the two of them, and Bigfoot refers to Sirius Black." Isobel Quickly match the nickname with the name.

But what exactly do their nicknames stand for?

Isobel couldn't figure it out. He looked at Albert beside him and waited for him to reveal the secret, but Albert seemed to have no intention of saying what he meant. His appetite was too irritating.

So, she reached out and pinched Albert's waist, but he was too thick to feel at all.

"It's not suitable to say this here."

Albert bared his teeth, pretending that he was pinched.

The two went to Hogsmeade's hut and returned to Hogwarts Castle through the vanishing cabinet there.

"Well, tell me what you know." Isobel asked.

"The face of the moon refers to Professor Lupin's werewolf identity, so does their nickname represent their transformation?" Albert said his guess.

"Transfiguration?" Isabel asked incredulously. "You mean Animagus? If that's the case, the prongs should refer to the horns of some kind of animal, sheep, cow, or deer, according to James. Porter likes to have a windy character, and the Bucks are more suitable."

"The bigfoot should be the animal foot. By the way, the previous black dog was not rummaging for food, but for the newspaper. There was a newspaper around at that time, but we stared at it, so it snatched away. A half-section package."

"Black itself means black. No wonder you noticed that black dog at the time. Did you already know that the dog is black?" Isabel thinks that if the Ministry of Magic doesn’t know Black can become a black dog. In the case of a dog, it is basically impossible to catch him.

Moreover, if Black becomes a dog and wants to escape from Azkaban prison, it is not impossible.

After all, dementors are blind and can only be judged by emotions, and obviously no one has rich emotions in animals, and they would not treat Black as a dog.

"So, what is Wormtail?" Isabel asked.

"I suspect it is a mouse." Albert said of his findings and speculation. "There is a mouse in the Weasley family that has only lived for five or six years or even longer. The name is Shaban. It once belonged to Percy and was later sent away. It was given to Ron, who was Potter’s friend. The picture of the Weasley family that Black saw from the Daily Prophet was probably the same as seeing the mouse. He found that Peter Pettigrew was still alive and just By my godson's side, if I were Black, I would have crawled out of hell. Not only for revenge, but also to avoid danger for my godson."

"Once the mysterious man returns, Peter Pettigrew will definitely hand Harry Potter to the mysterious man. Who would dare to say that he betrayed the mysterious man."

"This is really a dramatic change. The traitor has become a hero, and the hero has become a traitor." Isabel looked at Albert and asked, "After all, how can you be so clear? Sure enough, you have made relevant predictions. Stop it, and then push back from the result."

"Well, it's about the same as you guessed." Albert did not deny, there must be a reason, "Actually, I once saw the name Peter on the map of the live spot, in the common room, I thought it was someone The name of a cat or other animal."

"What are you going to do?" Isabel frowned and asked, "If the truth is made public, there are probably not many people willing to believe."

In most people's perception, Black is a traitor, a wanted man, and Peter Pettigrew is a hero who has died.

If Albert rashly tells the truth, people will only regard him as a lunatic and a clown who is sensational.

Harry Potter is the best example.

Well, I almost forgot, Porter hasn't become an example yet.

"I'm waiting for the opportunity. Maybe I can earn Black's bounty and successfully make the truth public." Albert said carefully, "I have a plan."

"If the Ministry of Magic knows that Black is innocent, will definitely not be willing to pay you the bounty." Isobel reminded, "And they don't want to see Black is innocent. ,Do you know what I mean?"

If Sirius Black is innocent, it means that the Ministry of Magic has kept a hero in Azkaban prison for more than ten years.

If this incident is exposed, the face of the Ministry of Magic will be thrown on the ground and be trampled on.

The arrest of Black during this period will also turn into a big joke.

No one wants to admit their mistakes, and no one wants to be a laughing stock.

"I know, but there is always a chance." Albert said, "It depends on how I do this, and there is no need to worry. The future Ministry of Magic will be disintegrated and reorganized, and that group of pure blood will become the past."

"You always like to take risks, which is very bad." Isabel suspected that Albert wanted to do something big again, and he had planned it for a long time.

"Don't worry, I will bring in other helpers and make arrangements for everyone clearly."
