"Where has Dumbledore gone?"
After seeing Harry Potter drink the Veritaserum, Umbridge got straight to the point.
"I don't know." Harry shook his head.
"Who knows where Dumbledore has gone?" Umbridge frowned and pressed on.
"Albert Anderson knows where Dumbledore is," Harry answered simply.
"They're working together?" Umbridge was thrilled, feeling as though she had landed a big fish.

"Yes."
"Who is the Secret-Keeper?"
"Dumbledore."
"Then why did you say Albert Anderson knows where Dumbledore is?"
Umbridge realized that she could not get any useful information from Harry Potter. No wonder Harry Potter had drunk the Veritaserum without any hesitation.
It turned out he really knew nothing—or only knew things that did not matter.
"Sirius said Albert Anderson is a powerful Divination master. He paid a huge sum to have Anderson divine Peter Pettigrew's whereabouts, then used that information to find Peter Pettigrew and successfully take his revenge."
The Aurors' eyes widened, and they quickly exchanged glances. Their hopes of finding the escaped Death Eaters had been rekindled.
It was not that the Aurors did not want to capture the Death Eaters. They simply had no idea
