"Harry has changed a great deal."
Albert turned a page of the newspaper and said calmly, "But that's good news for us. Harry has become more reliable than before."
After Christmas, Albert had specially made time to visit the Defense Association headquarters, meet with its members, and hold the Defense Association's first gathering.
"Do you think the newspaper's speculation is true?" Kenneth raised his hand and asked.
He had read the paper and believed the Ministry of Magic had deliberately exaggerated the situation. The Death Eaters might be plotting something, but it was certainly not as terrifying as the newspaper made it sound. He knew the people who lurked in the gray areas well enough; before a hardline Ministry of Magic, they were nothing more than a disorganized mob.
"All right, no need to raise your hand. I'm not a professor, and you're no longer students." Albert smiled and gestured for Kenneth to sit down.
A ripple of good-natured laughter came from nearby.
They all knew Albert would be teaching them Defense Against the Dark Arts in the future, so there was nothing wrong with calling himself a professor.
"I think so. It may be somewhat exaggerated, but they are indeed plotting something." Albert looked around at everyone present and spoke unhurriedly.
"What sort of plot?"
Everyone was extremely curious.
"I suspect The Dark Lord intends to try and eliminate Dumbledore and Scrimgeour!"
The moment he finished speaking, the room abruptly fell deathly silent. Everyone was stunned by Albert's words and turned to stare at him.
"That sounds rather absurd. If I were Dumbledore, I'd definitely welcome the Death Eaters trying that. He could catch them all in one sweep." Aaliyah clearly did not want to believe such an absurd guess. She did not think Dark Wizards would be stupid
