The Alchemist of Harry Potter

Chapter 1252 The truth is so cruel
On the first day after Dumbledore's death, the group of wizarding parents whose children went to school at Hogwarts were the first to feel the change after losing the headmaster.

A small number of them hurried to Hogwarts early in the morning to pick up the children from the school, as if something terrible would happen later.

Didn't their poor brains realize that there was only one Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in the whole of England?

Or are they already planning to transfer their children to Beauxbaton School of Magic or other famous magic schools in France?
Perhaps, they did not lack Garen, but they lacked brains.

You can't even speak a foreign language well, and you still want to study abroad?
They still have to go back to Hogwarts to finish their studies eventually, unless they don't want to graduate.

Thankfully, there aren't many such idiots.

After all, human beings are grateful creatures. After hearing the news, many wizards are willing to come to say goodbye to Dumbledore.

Therefore, the Ministry of Magic sent a large number of Aurors to Hogsmeade Village to maintain order and prevent Death Eaters from sneaking around and causing big trouble during the funeral.

On the morning of the funeral, Albert came to Hogwarts Castle early, because the Hogwarts Express train would leave an hour after the funeral, and he needed to follow the agreement to complete his final task.

"Mr. Anderson?"

Professor McGonagall was very surprised that Albert suddenly appeared outside the office. She seemed to want to say something, but was interrupted by Albert directly raising her hand.

"I reminded Dumbledore very early on that Snape was not trustworthy and asked him to guard against the other party, but Dumbledore obviously never took my words seriously, so he died." Albert said When this happened, his tone was so calm that it was almost indifferent.

"So, you knew this was going to happen?"

Professor McGonagall stared at Albert in disbelief, unable to believe that Albert would let this happen.

"Yes, that is indeed the result of the prophecy." Albert said to Professor McGonagall, "Haven't you already guessed it? It's just that I didn't expect it to be in this way."

Professor McGonagall was silent, because Albert was indeed right, and they had indeed guessed, but they didn't expect that Dumbledore would eventually die at Snape's hands.

"Actually, there is one thing you are wrong about."

Albert sat down on the sofa, looked at the dean who took out a handkerchief to wipe the corners of his eyes, and said, "Dumbledore is not an idiot, no matter how much you trust Snape, after getting my warning, it is impossible for him to be fooled Snape killed him in a sneak attack, so his death must be his own choice. As for the reason, I suggest you ask him yourself."

"You mean..."

Professor McGonagall looked at Albert in shock.

At this moment, Professor McGonagall suddenly felt very tired. Many things seemed to be different from what she thought. Dumbledore still had something to hide from everyone.

At this moment, the door of Professor McGonagall's office was knocked open, and Harry, Hermione, and Ron appeared outside the office, as if they wanted to chat with Albert.

However, after the three of them met Professor McGonagall, the expressions on the faces of the three of them became very unnatural, as if they realized how rude their actions just now were.

"Let's talk about our matter at the end, can I trouble you to find Professor Caredi Bubaji for me?" Albert offered to help Harry and the three of them resolve the embarrassment, and reminded with a smile, "This matter is very serious. It is important, and it is related to the life safety of Professor Bubaji."

"What did you predict again?" Harry gasped.

"Time is precious." Albert reminded kindly.

Professor McGonagall walked to the fireplace, grabbed a handful of Floo powder, sprinkled it into the newly lit fireplace, and said to the green magic flame that suddenly rose: "Caredy, please come here, there is something very important Important matter."

After a while, Professor Bubbaji came out of the burning fireplace. She shook the dust off her body with her hands, looked at the people in Professor McGonagall's office suspiciously, and finally noticed that Professor McGonagall motioned for her After the person was Albert, he showed a surprised expression again.

"Sit down, Professor Bubaji." Albert smiled and made a gesture of invitation, and said softly, "Please listen to a few words from me, this is related to your safety."

"My life is safe?" Professor Bubaji was a little puzzled, but she didn't refuse in the end. She knew that Albert was not someone who would make fun of such things, and she must have something to do with herself.

"Yes."

Albert signaled everyone to be quiet and listen to himself: "I'm afraid you need to temporarily resign from your job at Hogwarts..."

"But isn't the school going to be closed?" Ron asked puzzled, and after noticing everyone's gazes, he became even more puzzled.

"Did I say something wrong?"

"Quiet, listen to me." Albert looked up at Ron and said calmly.

Ron quickly shut up.

Professor Bubbaji is also puzzled by this.

"Hogwarts will not be closed." Albert broke the big news coldly, "Next, the mysterious man will ask Snape to come back to take over as the headmaster of Hogwarts."

"how can that be!"

"The three of you go out first!"

Albert said to the three of Harry in an irrefutable tone.Seeing that the three of them didn't seem to intend to move, he took out his wand from his pocket, waved at the three of them, invited them out, and closed the office door again.

"This is the sequelae left after Dumbledore's death." Albert said helplessly, "When the mysterious man thinks that no one in the whole of England can threaten him anymore, that guy will no longer have any worries. .”

Albert looked at the two professors who were hesitant to speak, and said calmly, "I suggest that Professor Bubaji give up his position as a Muggle professor for the time being, shut his mouth peacefully and find a place abroad to hide for a while. Of course, that's my suggestion."

"What if I don't do that?" Professor Bubaji asked Albert, staring at me.

"Believe me, the Mysterious Man and the Death Eaters will be happy to make you realize your mistakes in their own way. As for the way, I don't think you want to experience it." Albert looked up at Mai Professor Ge asked: "If you have any questions, just ask!"

"Will Hogwarts really be controlled by mysterious people?" Professor McGonagall really had a hard time accepting such a result.

"Is there any reason for him not to do this?" Albert asked back. "Anyway, I can't think of any reason. Next, Muggle-born wizards will be in bad luck. I remember reminding everyone of this a long time ago. "

Professor McGonagall opened his mouth wide, not knowing what to say, because Albert did say this when he published "Guide to Self-Defense".

It's just that few people really take this matter seriously. However, is that part of the prophecy about to come true now?

"Come in, all three of you." Albert opened the office door, and said to the three people waiting outside, "I'm going to start announcing that Dumbledore has kept the will with me."

Professor McGonagall looked at Albert in surprise, apparently not expecting Dumbledore to let Albert keep his will.

"The will is for the three of them, so..." Albert looked at Professor McGonagall and Professor Bubbaji, and motioned for them to leave the office first, leaving room for the three of them.

The two looked at each other, left the office together, and closed the door behind them.

"sit down!"

Albert raised his finger to the couch in front of him.

Harry, Ron, and Hermione looked at each other, wondering what Dumbledore had left behind.

As soon as they sat down, they saw Albert flick his wand and conjure a metal box out of thin air.He opened the box directly, took out a letter from inside, opened the envelope, pulled out a piece of parchment, unfolded it in front of the three of them, and said to the three of them: "This is Albus Percival Wool. Frick Brian Dumbledore's will, listen carefully, I'm going to read it."

"My Deluminator will be left for Ron Billiers Weasley, hopefully he will remember me when he uses it.

My Tales of Beedle the Bard will be left to Miss Hermione Jane Granger, in the hope that she will find it interesting and informative.

I left Harry James Potter with the Golden Snitch he caught during his first Quidditch match at Hogwarts, as a reminder of the rewards of perseverance and skill.

After finishing speaking, Albert took out a silver lighter from the metal box, leaned forward and handed the extinguisher to Ron. "What did Dumbledore leave it to me?" Ron looked at Albert blankly.

"He obviously thinks you need it!" Albert said flatly, "I also think you probably need it. It's very precious, and I hope you can make good use of it."

"You know what this thing is for." Ron asked with wide-eyed eyes.

"I think it would be better for you now not to know."

Albert ignored Ron, took out the worn little book from the metal box, and handed the worn-out "The Tales of Beedle the Poet" to Hermione, saying, "I think the runes should be difficult." you."

"Why did Dumbledore leave "The Tales of Beedle the Bard" to Hermione?" Harry asked puzzled, and he thought Albert knew the reason.

If you can, asking directly is the fastest way.

"He thinks you need to learn something useful from the stories in that book." Albert took out a walnut-sized little golden snitch from the metal box and handed it to Harry, reminding: "Dumbledore put Something XZ is in the Snitch, as for what it is, you will know when you open it yourself."

"How do I open it?" Harry asked suspiciously, looking at the Snitch in his hand.

"When the time comes, you will naturally know how to open it. Even if you open it now, it's meaningless." Albert put away the will, looked at the three and asked directly: "If you have any questions, just ask them now. I'll try to answer a question from each of you as best I can."

"Why did Dumbledore leave the Deluminator to me!" Ron asked first, raising his hand.

"Because Dumbledore thinks you are the least confident in the three-person team, you will leave them for some reason sooner or later, and the Deluminator can help you return to Harry when Harry needs you. "

Albert didn't pay attention to Ron who was flushed with anger, looked at Hermione and asked, "What about your problem?"

"What did Dumbledore want me to know from the Tales of Beedle the Bard?"

"The story of the three brothers." Albert directly deciphered: "Some of the stories in "The Tales of Beedle the Poet" are actually true. I have seen the so-called fountain of good luck, although that thing cannot bring people Come get real luck."

"The story of the three brothers?" Hermione quickly flipped through the books in her hand.

It's a pity that Hermione's rune level is not enough for her to read the articles in "The Tales of Beedle the Bard" without any obstacles.

"Harry, what about you?"

"Why did Dumbledore let Snape kill him!" Harry asked, staring into Albert's eyes.

This question has been bothering him, and now he can finally get the final answer from Albert.

"That's naturally because this matter was planned by Dumbledore from the beginning to the end." Albert's tone was full of admiration for Dumbledore, "To be honest, I don't really agree with this approach, but I still I really admire his courage to use his own life to plot against the mysterious person."

"Although he died, to some extent Dumbledore is the final winner. He used his own death to accomplish many incredible things."

"Why?" Harry murmured, "Why do you have to do this."

"Why?" Albert said as a matter of course, "Naturally to pave the way for you, and naturally to completely eliminate the mysterious person. He believed that you could do it, so he did it without hesitation."

"So, all this is Professor Dumbledore's plan?"

After listening to Albert's words, Harry stared blankly at him, vaguely feeling that his worldview had been impacted to a certain extent.

"What about Snape?" Hermione asked suddenly: "According to what you said, Snape has always been Dumbledore's man from the very beginning, he..."

"He is not a good person. Although that guy is also Dumbledore's, you better not think of Snape as a good person too much, otherwise you will be tricked to death by him sooner or later."

"what do you know?"

Harry noticed Albert's gaze, and he felt that this matter might have something to do with him.

"Yes, although I did understand some things." Albert reminded with a smile, "But there is no guarantee that the restored story is the truth. If you want to hear it, I don't mind telling you."

"Say it, I trust your judgment." Harry took a deep breath and said.

"This matter starts with the prophecy between you and the mysterious man." Albert began to enter the state of storytelling, "Back then, when Professor Trelawney was applying for the professor of divination, he helped Dumbledore That prophecy of You-Know-Who, which is why she became a professor of Divination. Snape was also in the Pig's Head, and overheard Professor Trelawney's prophecy about you defeating You-Know-Who. Of course, he was only half-eavesdropped Dumbledore found out and chased him away, but Snape still told the mysterious man about half of the overheard prophecies..."
