Chapter 1187

"Maybe, we should hurry, I suspect we're going to be late."

"The appointed time is twelve o'clock noon."

Hiking to Hogsmeade village in the wind, rain and snow is by no means a pleasant experience. They had to bend over and walk slowly against the cold wind, rain and snow, even though they had wrapped themselves in thick scarves, the exposed skin was still painful from the cold.

Even Harry himself admitted that it must be more comfortable to be in the warm common room in this ghost weather than it is now. Unfortunately, they have no choice now, and turning around and going back to school is obviously not a good choice.

"If only I could Apparate directly to Hogsmeade Village." Ron pulled the scarf around his neck, looked at the Hogwarts students in front of him, and complained in a low voice, "I feel like myself now. His cheeks were frozen to the point of unconsciousness."

"Don't complain, we can start Apparating this semester." Hermione seemed to think of something, and suddenly turned to the person next to her and said, "Harry, I remember that you are not old enough."

"My birthday is at the end of July," said Harry gloomily. "Maybe I won't be able to take the Apparition exam until next semester."

"I think you should learn to Apparate first, just in case." Hermione suggested earnestly, "And Ron, you too, it's best to pass it all at once."

"Hermione, do you know something?" Harry asked suddenly, "Did Albert tell you something?"

"No," said Hermione, shaking her head. "But do you remember? He predicted it."

"Prophecy? What prophecy?" Ron asked loudly.

"The real period of turmoil... is coming." Hermione glanced at Ron and lowered her voice to remind, "According to Albert's prediction, it is not yet a period of turmoil, so what do you think is a real turmoil? "

"It's worse than it is now." Harry couldn't imagine what it was like.

"He also reminded other Muggle wizards that they had better learn something useful before the turbulent times, and the "Guide to Self-Defense" was born because of this." Hermione told the two partners that she figured out "I think he's trying to tell us that Muggle wizards are going to be in big trouble when the real turbulent times come. I suspect that You-Know-Who will take full control of the Ministry of Magic and persecute Muggle wizards."

"But, as long as Dumbledore is still around, it's almost impossible for Voldemort to control the Ministry of Magic." Harry felt that this possibility was not high. He had confidence in Dumbledore, but even Fudge's stubbornness did not yield to Voldemort. , let alone Scrimgeour.

"Yes, I thought so too." Hermione's voice was so low that only a few people around could barely hear it clearly: "Remember the injury on Dumbledore's hand? It was probably caused by some kind of terrible injury. hurt by the spell, I doubt Dumbledore would

For a while, the three were silent.

This is undoubtedly a very serious topic.

Maybe, without Albert's prophecy, they wouldn't think about this, but everything at the moment points to one thing, Dumbledore is likely to gradually lose the power to control the mysterious man, or leave forever them.

Without Dumbledore's deterrence, it wouldn't be surprising what the You-Know-Who would do. Perhaps then, the real turbulent period will come.

Harry actually had a similar idea, but he was quickly suppressed by him. At least, he didn't think the situation would be that bad, after all, Dumbledore was omnipotent in Harry's mind.

"I remember that Fred and George seemed to be apparated by Albert with him." Ron seemed to feel the depressing atmosphere around him and found a topic at random, "They both passed the Apparition exam with ease, and now they are again Being brought in by Albert to make a lot of money, Dad said they were becoming the richest people in the family."

Ron is very envious of the twins' good luck, even if Fred and George are hiding now, they are still doing owl mail order and continuing to make a lot of money.

Feeling that the surrounding atmosphere was still very stiff, Ron changed the subject again: "The two **** also told me that if they can't find a job in the future, they will go to the store to help. What are you going to do in the future?"

"In the Ministry of Magic, I want to help house-elves change their current predicament." Hermione said without hesitation, "Wizards shouldn't treat house-elves like that."

"I don't think it's possible. Percy's chances of becoming Minister of Magic are higher than this." Ron ignored Hermione's dissatisfaction and continued to ask, "Harry, how about you? Or do you plan to become a minister? An Auror?"

Talking a little bit, it's really a good distraction and avoids too much of the trek to Hogsmeade.

"Well, I do want to be an Auror if possible, but it seems more difficult than I expected, and"

After learning about the prophecy about himself and the mysterious man from Dumbledore at the end of last semester, Harry put down a lot of things and didn't care about his future employment.

The first thing he should think about now is how to defeat the mysterious man, or be defeated by the mysterious man. If he fails, there is no point in thinking about the future.

"It always feels like all of you are hiding your thoughts." Ron couldn't help but complain, and he changed the subject and talked about another matter: "By the way, I heard that Fred and George brought Joko's joke shop together. Become their branch? Maybe, we can see it later, they seem to have a massive discount today.

Looking at the two people who were silent, Ron couldn't help sighing and comforted: "It's

Actually, you don't need to worry too much, even if something happens, isn't there still Dumbledore? Isn't there Albert? I can't believe that they didn't do anything to prepare, that those things are simply not our time to worry about. "

After a few people arrived in Hogsmeade Village, they were taken aback by the changes in Joko's joke shop. This shop, which is very popular among Hogwarts students, has not only been renovated, but also displayed in front of the shop. A funny statue.

It was an upgraded version of the pink toad statue.

Umbridge, sitting on the toad, not only has rough skin, but also has pimples. It looks like she has taken a compound medicine with toad skin debris. She also has a pink toad on her head, which makes everyone feel the most amazing. Yes, the three toads were also lined up neatly and croaked.

"I knew that the statue was made by them at the beginning." Hermione looked at the toad statue in front of her and said to Harry and Ron next to her in a low voice.

Umbridge's statue has undoubtedly helped Jokowi's joke shop attract a large number of Hogwarts students. Everyone was pointing at the toad statue, and there were people taking pictures with the statue, and it was Lee Jordan who took them.

"What the **** are you doing!"

The three walked over and asked Lee Jordan, who was posing for the other students.

"For a group photo, you can get one of the two, or you can buy ten Galleons for free in the store." Lee Jordan smiled and pointed to the statue in front of him and asked, "How about it, do you want one?"

"So expensive?"

Ron couldn't help complaining: "You guys are robbing money!"

"It's not enough for a few people to take a photo together. When the time comes, we can share the cost together. In fact, it doesn't cost much at all. It's not easy to find someone to take pictures of you now, and the film itself is more expensive than you think. If it's not for promotions, Don't expect it to be so cheap at all." Lee Jordan said to the three of them, "If you want to take pictures, just go there and line up!"

"I think that we should give up!"

Ron pulled Harry's shoulder, motioned him to look at the crowd of people in the joke shop, and said, "Let's go to the Three Broomsticks for a drink first, warm up, and come back when there are fewer people here."

Harry saw the crowd of people inside through the floor-to-ceiling windows, nodded and agreed with Ron's suggestion, or did the business first, and asked, "Are Fred and George here too?"

"They are helping in the store, um, you can go in and have a look, we have recently made a batch of good things, you will definitely like it." After Lee Jordan finished speaking, he was busy with his own affairs.

The three looked at each other and went straight to the Three Broomsticks bar. Where did I meet Cedric and Qiu Zhang, they were chatting and laughing and whispering.

Harry looked away from the two of them and was about to find another table, but was stopped by Hermione.

"What's wrong?"

Harry followed Hermione's fingers and saw Cedric waving at them. He hesitated for a moment, but walked over.

Ron and Hermione looked at each other, and both could see the worry in their eyes. They both knew that Harry was secretly in love with Qiu Zhang.

"I'm going to buy butter beer."

Ron said and walked to the bar. Hermione glanced at the charming and charming Mrs. Rosemerta, and then looked at Ron's slightly hurried back. She couldn't help but pouted and followed Harry towards Cedric's table. go.

"I heard that you were in trouble a while ago?"

When Harry is facing Cedric now, he no longer has the jealous feeling he used to have, and when he looks at Qiu Zhang, he doesn't have the kind of heartbeat he used to.

"I met a group of dark wizards and suffered a little." Cedric said lightly.

"You should pay attention to safety, as well as this matter and V..."

"Cough cough!"

Hermione hurriedly interrupted Harry with a sharp cough and helped her continue, "Something to do with You-Know-Who?"

"Relatedly, according to Albert's prophecy, turbulent times are coming, and he thinks we'd better spend the most difficult years together as a group." Cedric explained in a low voice.

"But this is..."

"We re-formed the Defense Association. When I was helping recruit people, I ran into trouble. You may have heard that the group of Death Eaters were using Imperius Curses on wizards, and I happened to meet them. Seems to want to find out Albert's whereabouts, so grab me and try to get some information out of me." Cedric briefly explained the main reason for his troubles.

"So, you quit your job at the Ministry of Magic?"

Ron appeared at the wooden table with three glasses of Butterbeer, and distributed the warmed Butterbeer to Harry and Hermione, while he sat down beside Harry.

"Albert saved me, so it's not suitable for me to stay at the Ministry of Magic now, otherwise I will cause more trouble." Cedric shrugged helplessly and explained, "In short, the situation is worse than you think. , even worse than the last Wizarding War."

"What kind of organization is the Defense Association?" Hermione was a little curious about this. "Is it the same as the da party in the school?"

"It is indeed similar to the previous da. It will teach everyone about defense against the dark arts, so that they will not be helpless when they encounter danger."

"But isn't the Ministry of Magic also popularizing Defence Against the Dark Arts knowledge to everyone?" Hermione felt that the "Defense Association" organized by Albert was not just to teach everyone about Defence Against the Dark Arts, there must be other more important things. reason.

"That's different. The knowledge of Defense Against the Dark Arts that Hogwarts students learn now is actually very general. The Defense Association will teach everyone more advanced knowledge of Defense Against the Dark Arts." Cedric explained: "Moreover, the members of the organization will Keep in touch with each other and help each other. When in trouble, at least we will not be helpless. If we are targeted by Death Eaters, we will also help to hide people. You can also think that this is a mutual aid organization against mysterious people. "

"After all, the Ministry of Magic is now engulfed in all its energies. If we want to protect our own lives in the turbulent times to come, we need to unite everyone."

"So, that's the main reason why you're willing to go to Hogwarts to teach everyone Defence Against the Dark Arts?" Hermione asked, staring at Cedric. "You want the students of Hogwarts to join you."

"Yes, Hogwarts graduates are our goals, if they are willing to join us." Cedric admitted this matter directly, "However, the current students' defense against the dark arts are relatively average, Abe Te feel that they should improve their level so that they have enough strength to deal with the next changes and protect the lives of themselves and their families."

"I think what Albert said is very reasonable. The entire magic world is panicking now, and Scrimgeour doesn't know how long he can support it." Cedric reminded without hesitation, " Albert believes that Scrimgeour has become a thorn in the side of You-Know-Who, and that Scrimgeour will die in the line of duty one day."

Harry, Ron, and Hermione's eyes widened.

"Don't look at me like that, that's what Albert said. Scrimgeour has killed so many people, and there must be a lot of people who want to kill him." Cedric looked around and said in a low voice, "I doubt Scrimgeour. Jie actually knew for a long time that he might be killed in the end, so he was so cruel to those dark wizards."

"You mean Albert told Scrimgeour about it, but why did he..."

"Why not hide?" Cedric shook his head. "Do you think he could leave everything and hide himself?"

All three were silent.

At this moment, a shrill scream suddenly came from outside, attracting the attention of the customers in the bar.
