Chapter 621: reason
There was a creak in the wooden house, the door was opened, and a small dark figure came out from it, and after reaching out to take the letter from under the owl\'s paw, the apparition disappeared.
The owl stared at the place where the black shadow disappeared, and cried out dissatisfiedly, stirring its wings into the air and disappearing into the night.
On the small island in the mist-shrouded lake, the house elf appeared out of thin air in the kitchen, holding the envelope in its hand, and walking towards the terrace on the second floor.
The owner of the house was talking to someone. The house elves didn\'t dare to step forward to disturb them. They just waited quietly, knocking on the door of the terrace after they had spoken, and then raised their feet into the terrace after receiving a response.
"Master, there is a letter." The house elf respectfully handed the envelope up: "Mr. Anderson sent it."
"I see." Mogg reached for the envelope and said to the house elf, "Come here with a warm bottle of wine."
The house elf nodded and left silently.
With the help of the bright candlestick on the table, Bud, who read the latest issue of the Daily Prophet, asked, "What do you think Lucius Malfoy wants to do?"
He went on to say: "Although everyone knows that his relationship with Arthur Weasley is terrible, I think they are not just targeting the Muggle Protection Act."
"As we all know, the "Muggle Protection Act" bill is purely half a joke. Even if it is published, it will have no practical effect." Mogg closed the letter paper and said calmly, "Probably because of the pure-blood rights dispute again! "
Bud nodded, agreeing with Mogg\'s thoughts. The problem is that they might be forced to choose to stand in line in the end. This is why the two are discussing this matter here.
"Albert asked if we have any elixir stored here, or where we can get elixir, he needs some recently." Mogg did not answer Bud\'s question, but handed the letter to the opposite person. Old man: "Hertok Duggworth should have some reserves."
"Albert is more familiar with Hertok than you, I think he sent us the letter just in case." After reading the letter, Bud put the letter paper on the candlestick and burned it.
"He\'s in trouble?" Mogg frowned slightly and asked, "What happened to Hogwarts School?"
"Slytherin\'s secret room seems to have been opened again. It is said that a student was petrified by an evil curse." Bud thought about it and wanted to tell the latest news he had received. "Albus suppressed this forcibly. That\'s why it was not mentioned in the Daily Prophet, otherwise this matter might have caused panic in the magic world."
"If this matter spreads out, Malfoy might ask Dumbledore to take the blame and resign." Mogg is very clear about the virtues of the purebloods, and he even suspects that this matter may have something to do with them.
Isn\'t Slytherin the heir to Voldemort?
Although there is no evidence to directly prove this point, when Voldemort gathered the pure-blood faction, someone claimed that the Dark Lord was a descendant of Slytherin.
It\'s just that the ancient family has been completely lonely, and it is unknown whether there are any descendants.
"What do you think is the monster in the secret room?"
"Probably it\'s a basilisk!" Bud said without hesitation: "It fits the characteristics of Slytherin. Slytherin is a snakelike voice and can control a basilisk."
"But, can the eyes of the basilisk make people petrify?" Mogg said his doubts.
"The power of the curse has probably been weakened by something!" Bud thought for a while and said, "That\'s why there is no direct death, but only petrification."
"By the way, you can think of so many things in a short time." Mogg also didn\'t expect Bud to figure out so many things in a short time.
"Albert mentioned it to me the last time I went to the United States." Bud grinned. "He thinks something bad may happen at Hogwarts this year."
Mogg: "..."
He just said how Bud wanted to understand those things all at once.
Bud briefly told Mogg about the prophecies Albert saw on the crystal ball.
"It turned out to be like this." Mogg nodded, "Then help him get as little blessing as possible. I remember last time he took the blessing to share the risk."
For this, Mogg agrees with Albert\'s approach.
At this time, the door of the terrace was knocked, and the house elf brought in the warm glutinous rice wine.
"Maybe, the method of opening the secret room was left by the mysterious person." Mogg said his guess, and it is no wonder that he thinks this way. Most of the purebloods now are Death Eaters who have escaped.
"Where did they get the snake-like voice."
Bud poured himself a glass. He still liked this kind of alcohol. The main reason was that the body was very warm after drinking. For elderly people like him, he rarely touched alcohol anymore.
If you don\'t have a snake-like voice, how can you control the basilisk in the secret room? Once such a monster is not controlled, the situation may be very bad.
It is not very likely that a Snakeman disguised as a student entering Hogwarts will cause chaos, because doing so requires a lot of risk.
"Albus will definitely find out the reason." Mogg was confident in Dumbledore. "Just, what is the purpose of doing this kind of thing?"
"Fight against the moderates headed by Albus?"
"To be honest, Cornelius Fudge has a lot of weaknesses and it is too easy to be controlled. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com" Bud commented, "Furthermore, he has now shown a pure-blood tendency, and in a few years After Fudge was fooled for a while, he might start to suspect that Dumbledore wanted to usurp his position as minister."
"So, next Lucius Malfoy should become an adviser or good friend to the Minister of Magic and embark on the path of his predecessor, Septimus?"
"The trick of Septimus Malfoy. (Controlling the Minister of Magic Bud was not surprised at all.
Power is something that many pure-blood wizards can’t give up. The Malfoy family’s desire for power is no exception, but their family never wanted to become Minister of Magic. Instead, they controlled everything behind their backs. There is a saying that "the Malfoy family will never be found at the crime scene," said.
For Mogg and Bard, the British magical world is so big, and the Ministry of Magic has nothing more than that. What they need is to maintain their detached status.
Purebloods should influence their Minister of Magic as much as possible for their own interests, and formulate some laws that are beneficial to pureblood wizards. Obviously, the "Protection of Muggle Act" is not in the interest of pureblood wizards.
It is undeniable that the current Ministry of Magic still has the upper hand, and they are the so-called respected families.
Moreover, Arthur Weasley was a loyal supporter of Dumbledore, and the principal of Hogwarts could be vaguely seen behind him.
However, the two are actually more optimistic about Dumbledore, the old man who has lived for a century, has wisdom far beyond others.
Moreover, after knowing the prediction that the Second Wizarding War might break out in a short period of time, they did not want to make a choice in a short period of time. Although they also knew that order was better than chaos, the Dark Lord was not a useful one. People of common sense.
