The Alchemist of Harry Potter

After the sky brightened, the Gryffindor students in the common room finally waited for the news, and Professor McGonagall, with a tired face, regretted to tell everyone that Black had escaped again.

Just as Professor McGonagall turned to leave the common room, Shanna took a few quick steps and followed Professor McGonagall through the portrait passage, apparently wanting to say something to Professor McGonagall.

Seeing this scene, Fred, George and Lee Jordan looked at each other, shrugged their shoulders and went back to sleep in the dormitory. It was easy for them to guess that Shanna wanted to tell Professor McGonagall what they had just speculated.

As for the result, the three had already guessed it.

The students who were holding their breaths and waiting for news were all sleepy and went back to their dormitories to rest. The common room suddenly became empty.

Soon after, Shanna returned to the common room, but just by looking at the expressions on the other's faces, it was obvious that Professor McGonagall didn't like these self-righteous "speculations", not to mention that they suspected that Black's helpers were in the school.

"You're right, Professor McGonagall doesn't want to believe these speculations."

Noticing the questioning glances from others, Shanna said helplessly: "However, she agrees with the guess that Blake slipped into the castle through the secret passage."

There were so many secret passages in the castle that even Filch couldn't know their locations. Maybe when Blake was studying at school, he discovered a secret passage leading to the outer layer of the castle.

"They are adults, and they prefer to trust their own judgments, rather than listening to a minor point fingers, especially if there is no evidence, don't expect to be able to influence other people's thoughts, which is ridiculous." Albert He pointed out mercilessly, "To be honest, what you did just now was quite irrational."

"Actually, I prefer to trust your judgment. To a certain extent, you see things more clearly than most so-called smart people." Shanna said after a moment of silence: "If anyone can catch Blake, I Bet it's you, not a professor at Hogwarts or an Auror at the Ministry of Magic."

"You are very confident in me." Albert was a little surprised.

"After all, you can predict, don't you?" Shanna said rightfully.

"Actually, I think Dumbledore should ask you for help, so they don't have to mess around there." Arya is also very confident in Albert, but she hasn't forgotten that last year it was Albert who discovered the attack The murderer of the Muggle wizard is the head basilisk, and through this leads to the heir of Slytherin.

"My prediction fee is very expensive." Albert smiled.

"If you can catch Blake, you can get 10,000 Galleons in one go." Shanna pointed to the reward about Blake in the newspaper, "This is worth your countless predictions."

"No, at least I can get the prophecy fee as soon as possible." Albert looked at the bounty list in the Daily Prophet and said meaningfully, "As for Black's bounty, whether I can get it in the end remains to be seen. ."

"Okay, let's go back to rest first. I'm tired after a night of sleepless nights. If you have any new discoveries, remember to tell us." Angelina stretched out her hand to cover her yawn and greeted the others to go back to the dormitory to catch up on sleep.

Black's invasion undoubtedly shocked Hogwarts, and the group of Dementors who tried to help search the castle was once again blocked from the school gates by Dumbledore with his wand.

The Dementors were annoyed by this, but there was nothing they could do.

Ultimately, the Ministry of Magic can only influence the school through the Board of Trustees, so...the castle security at Hogwarts is further enhanced.

First, Sir Cadogan was sacked, much to the relief of the majority of Gryffindor students. The incompetent gatekeeper was put back to the original eighth floor landing, and he was extremely indignant and aggrieved. Sir Cadogan just followed the rules and the whole thing was not his fault.

In order to get the Fat Lady back to work, Dumbledore agreed to hire some people to keep her safe, just as he had just received a notice from the school board. So there were more rude gnomes in the corridor leading to the Gryffindor common room.

These guys aren't really good security guards, at least in Albert's eyes, they just walk the corridors at a menacing pace, mumbling, and even comparing the size of the sticks in their hands, Or beat the head of the partner next to you with a stick, to find out whether the stick is strong or the truth of the strong head.

Oh my god!

I don't know where I thought it was from.

"I doubt they're up to the job, it's really hard to imagine that Professor Dumbledore would be willing to pay for them to enhance security."

After Professor Flitwick took Black's wanted list and identified each of the security guards guarding the front door, Albert walked over to chat with Professor Flitwick about the incident.

"This is a security guard hired by the school board, and the magic department doesn't have Aurors stationed at Hogwarts, that's the only way to do it," Professor Flitwick said as he walked, "but I don't think they have a wand with a stick in their hand. Sirius Black should be more than enough."

As the two passed a corridor corner somewhere, they saw Filch trying to nail the rat hole in the wall with a plank.

"Honestly, I doubt Black's target is Harry Potter," Albert said to Professor Flitwick, "otherwise, Ron Weasley would have been dead last night, along with Harry Potter in their dormitory. Potter and several other students would also be killed, and with Blake's ferocity, I don't think he'd spare a bunch of sleeping kids, plus one of them was the target of hatred he'd dreamed of killing."

"There are indeed a lot of doubts. Maybe we need to catch Black before we have a chance to find out the reason." Professor Flitwick reminded kindly: "However, catching Black is the Auror's job."

"The Ministry of Magic has always been unreliable, such as letting Dementors into Hogwarts." Albert muttered: "Sorry, I've never been a fan of Dementors."

"No one likes those things." Professor Flitwick stopped and said to Albert, "If you predict something, you can tell me or Dumbledore what you predicted."

"I foretold Black's capture, sir," said Albert, after a moment's hesitation. "Only one night I saw from the crystal ball that I had Sirius Black's capture, but the Ministry seemed to be reneging on the bill. , Minister for Magic Cornelius Fudge is unwilling to give me Black's bounty."

"This……"

Professor Flitwick's expression was a little stunned, he didn't expect Albert to say such a thing.

"You caught Blake?" he asked tentatively.

"This is just a professor of prophecy, and there may still be changes in the future," Albert said calmly. "Honestly, I want to know what the credibility of the Ministry of Magic is."

"If you do catch Black, I don't think the Ministry of Magic will default." Professor Flitwick said after a moment of silence. "If you want to see Professor Dumbledore..."

"Professor Dumbledore should be very busy now, I think it's best not to disturb him." Albert shook his head, "Besides, prophecy is such a thing, maybe you can say it twice."

Professor Flitwick looked at Albert's leaving back, and walked quickly towards the headmaster's office. When he knocked on the door to enter, Headmaster Dumbledore was writing a letter in the office.

"Felius, is something wrong?" Dumbledore asked, looking up.

"I met Mr. Anderson just now, and he said..." Professor Flitwick told Dumbledore what had happened.

"Mr Anderson is suspicious of the credibility of the Ministry of Magic," Dumbledore asked with interest.

"Yes, he seems very unhappy that the Ministry of Magic is defaulting on his debts." Professor Flitwick asked suspiciously. "However, I thought you would care more about him having Black."

"Under what circumstances would the Ministry of Magic default on its debt." Dumbledore put down his quill. "What do you think Mr. Anderson wants to tell us?"

"Maybe Black is innocent?" Professor Flitwick felt incredulous.

"Yes, if Black is innocent, I think the Ministry of Magic will definitely withdraw the reward for Black. From what I know about Fudge, he is definitely not willing to pay the Galleon, and naturally he will default." Dumbledore speculated.

"But why wouldn't Mr. Anderson come and tell you this in person?" Professor Flitwick was puzzled. "Besides, how could Black be innocent."

"At that time, Sirius Black was imprisoned in Azkaban prison without trial." A light flashed on Dumbledore's spectacles. "So, we don't really know what the specific situation is."

"But why did he break into Hogwarts so late?" Professor Flitwick continued. "He clearly intended to murder..."

"Harry and his roommate were not injured. I think Mr. Anderson guessed something." Dumbledore crossed his hands and said calmly: "However, he probably knows that we prefer to believe what we conjecture. Anderson Sir is a very smart man, he understands what it means if Blake is really innocent, so he gives us a precaution in advance, and ... he is obviously disgusted by the practice of the Ministry of Magic."
