Chapter 1756 A War Without Winners (Two Hundred and Six)

"So, the witch named Heliotop died in vain?"

After listening to Albert's account of the real cause of death of the leader of the troll rights movement in the Daily Prophet, Hermione suddenly said this.

"Heliotop certainly did not die in vain."

Albert looked up at Hermione and raised his lips slightly.

"Has the culprit been found out?" Hermione asked expectantly.

"Of course not. However, Heliotop's death is still very valuable, and she will live forever in another way."

Albert actually knew what Hermione wanted to hear, but still shattered her last fantasy with an extremely cruel fact.

"That woman used her life to create an international joke for the wizarding world that people will remember forever, and proved to the world the danger and uncertainty of trolls. I believe that no one will have unrealistic fantasies that trolls are harmless in the future."

"But, I mean how can they..."

Hermione's sense of justice made her unable to accept such a result. Just because of a joke, a person died, and the culprits did not have to accept any punishment.

This is not fair at all!

"It was just an accident, Hermione."

Cedric tapped the front page of the newspaper on the table with his fingers and reminded, "If Albert hadn't mentioned this matter himself, I think most people who read the newspaper would only treat it as a joke, not to mention that you have no evidence to prove that she did... You know what I mean, don't you?"

"But Albert is not..."

"I won't be a witness."

Albert would never do such a thankless thing, not to mention that he had no evidence.

In fact, they didn't need any evidence. Most of the wizards who attended the troll meeting guessed what happened, but no one would be a witness. Just like Cedric said, it was just an accident. It was just the bad luck of that stupid woman.

"I think so."

Hermione is not difficult to understand, because even if this matter really gets out of hand, it will probably be left unresolved.

Perhaps noticing Hermione's lonely expression, Albert changed the subject in a joking tone.

"I said you can't judge whether what I said is true or false, so you just believe it?"

"Of course I am willing to believe you, many people are willing to believe you." Hermione didn't think Albert would joke about such things, and he would never do that.

"You won't be that boring."

Cedric agreed with Hermione's words.

The latter obviously understood that Albert talked about this matter to teach her a lesson, so that she would not be too naive and suffer losses in the Ministry of Magic, and to remind Hermione that the house elf power movement should not be too radical.

Heliotop is the best example. The reason why that guy encountered such an accident was that she directly brought the troll security guards to the conference room. Such extreme behavior caused dissatisfaction among other wizards, otherwise everyone would not want to laugh at her.

After all, it is not easy to use the Confusion Spell to affect a troll. Obviously, many people secretly use the Confusion Spell on trolls.

The result was a tragedy.

As if thinking that this topic should not continue, Cedric took the initiative to change the topic and talked about some things he encountered during his substitute teaching, and solemnly reminded Albert that those students were very resentful of his continuous skipping of classes. Even if Cedric had Albert's teaching materials and had carefully prepared, he was still not as popular as Albert.

"I will take some time to check everyone's progress." Albert felt that it was not a good idea to occupy other people's spare time, but he finally decided to check everyone's review progress.

"I think they will be very happy." Cedric clapped his hands and continued, "Also, the new book has been revised almost. When will you find time to check the content and see if it can be published?"

"No problem, I will find time to check it as soon as possible."

"Also, although the card game "I am an Auror" is very popular among students, this game has a fatal flaw, that is, it requires a lot of people to play together to be fun, and most of the time it may not be possible to get enough people, and a game of cards usually takes a long time."

Cedric spoke of the problems he found very competently, which was worthy of the Galleons given by Albert.

After Cedric left the office, Hermione stared at Albert's back with her resentful eyes.

"What's wrong?"

After Albert closed the door, he found that Hermione tried to press him to the door with a very oppressive look.

"Nothing!"

All of Hermione's words turned into a helpless sigh.

"I thought you would say 'I miss you'."

Albert reached out and hugged Hermione's waist, lowered his head and kissed her lips.

"Sometimes I think it's good to stay in Hogwarts forever." Hermione sighed softly.

"You want to stay and teach?" Albert said in a joking tone, "I think Headmaster McGonagall will be happy to hear you say that, so she doesn't have to worry about the problem of the Transfiguration teacher anymore."

"No, I never wanted to stay and teach." Hermione sighed, "I just..."

"Just a little depressed?" Albert gently stroked Hermione's head, "In fact, you don't need to waste extra time on those things, and the so-called troll rights movement has never really wanted to fight for the rights of trolls. Use your smart head to think about it and you will know. With the IQ of trolls, do trolls really need so many rights?"

"Are you saying that they are going to do something with this?" Hermione is very smart and guessed what Albert meant at once.

"The group of people in Heliotop are not as pure as you. They obviously have their own purpose in raising the troll rights movement, so you really don't need to sympathize with them."

"What purpose?" Hermione couldn't help asking.

"Many are for money, power, or other things. Anyway, she will definitely benefit from it." Albert reminded, "Similar organizations are very common in the Muggle world. It can only be said that Heliotop can gain a lot of benefits from this, otherwise how could it be possible to endure the stench of trolls without expression."

"I won't..."

"I know you won't, but others don't know." Albert reminded kindly. "They don't really care about this."

"I know what to do. I will try my best to help the house elves." Hermione nodded.

"Well, it's almost time. I think I should go." Albert glanced at the wall clock, picked up the wand on the table and put it in his pocket, then turned to Hermione and said, "Saturday at 3 pm, in the original Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom, if they are willing to spare some time."
