Chapter 159 157. Creepy

Jon looked at the newspaper from the French magic world, and the confusion on his face did not decrease at all.

"I don't understand, professor, are you saying that this crisis comes from France? But we have been there once before. According to Madame Maxime, the situation is not so bad. French wizards will not willingly succumb to the rule of the Dark Lord."

"I thought the same as you before." Dumbledore said softly, "I think things are far from being so bad. There are many factions in the French Ministry of Magic. There are indeed many people who support the theory of pure-blood superiority, but there are very few who really want France to become like Britain, but things are getting more and more wrong."

He looked into Jon's eyes.

"Everything that happened in the carriage after we came back from France was not aimed at us, but to cut off our attention to the French magic world."

"Remember that after visiting Madame Maxime, we took Gabriel back to school, and I sent people to France to collect intelligence?"

Jon nodded. Dumbledore mentioned this to him when he was about to return from France.

"The people in charge of the Order of the Phoenix sent to France at that time were Ron's parents and two brothers, that is, the Weasley family." Dumbledore looked deep, "Arthur and Molly are both old members of the Order of the Phoenix. Their two sons Bill and Charlie, who have graduated from school, are also very outstanding. With their family collecting intelligence in France, I believe that some things hidden under the surface will be investigated soon, but you should not have forgotten what happened in the school later."

Jon's pupils shrank slightly. He was very smart, but the information he learned was not as comprehensive as Dumbledore's. Now after his reminder, he figured out the connection!

"Percy rebelled!"

"That's right, Arthur and Molly's third child defected to the Ministry of Magic and the Dark Lord, and escaped from the carriage." Dumbledore said calmly, "They are a pair of excellent wizards, and also a pair of parents who love their children very much. Percy's incident hit them hard, and although no one else in the Order of the Phoenix would have any doubts, they still asked me to find someone to take over their work in order to prove themselves."

"The intelligence agency that has just been operating in France for a short time was forced to change people at this time, and then I let Sirius take over the couple."

Jon couldn't help holding his breath, he didn't speak, because he knew in his heart that he shouldn't know the grievances of the past years, and he shouldn't know that the mouse lurking in the carriage was Wormtail.

But even if he didn't say it, Dumbledore would have helped him sort out the relationship later.

"The tuft of gray hair you found came from a person's Animagus form, and the person who possessed this form was a Death Eater who had been missing in the magic world for a long time and had a deep hatred for Sirius. Once Sirius knew the news about him, he would definitely not stay in France. He wanted to catch and kill him personally. And now he has transformed into the wizard named 'Nigellus Dippet', and is looking for their enemy in the school with Lily and Lupin."

Jon's face was full of shock. Without Dumbledore's explanation, he also knew what the strange problems that had occurred in the carriage during this period were.

"The Dark Lord had people lurking in the school, not to retaliate against us through this, but to stop your investigation in France! Percy's rebellion, and the tuft of gray hair I found."

Dumbledore crossed his hands, and the afterglow of the sunset shone in from the window of the car, reflecting a subtle white light from his crescent-shaped glasses.

"The continuous change of the person in charge has led to slow progress in intelligence gathering in France. Bill has only now sorted out the relationship network and factions of the Ministry of Magic's top leaders, but has not conducted any further investigation. But in fact, there is no need to continue investigating in France. I don't know whether the Dark Lord is deliberately demonstrating to me on the carriage, or the flaws accidentally revealed by the mouse have made me roughly guess what kind of plan he has."

"Do you remember what happened to Gabrielle on the night she encountered the Dementors?"

He suddenly asked a question that seemed to have nothing to do with the whole thing. Jon didn't react at first. After thinking for a few seconds, he murmured.

"She said that she saw a French wizard who had visited their house before in the carriage?"

Dumbledore said in a deep voice.

"I don't have any concrete evidence for this yet, but the Dark Lord may not want me to continue investigating in France because of this."

"If the rat lurking in the carriage is really the one, then Gabrielle must have seen him. But in our impression, he is a short and fat British wizard. Why did Gabrielle see him? He has met her father and is probably a middle-aged wizard from the French Ministry of Magic?"

Dumbledore's words made Jon suddenly feel creepy!

At this time, he suddenly thought of something, something he had always ignored before.

Since Harry Potter was killed that night, it means that James's secret keeper Wormtail has become a traitor. If he has made such a great contribution to Voldemort, why did he never hear his name when he was in Diagon Alley and Hogwarts Castle?

Not only him, but also Voldemort's most loyal confidant in the original book, the crazy woman named Bellatrix Lestrange. Why has no one ever mentioned such a right-hand man?

Wormtail may be abandoned, but Bella will definitely not be abandoned by Voldemort. Since they have not appeared in the British wizarding world, where will they be?

Before he could think about this question, Dumbledore had already given his answer.

"The mouse disappeared in the British wizarding world for a long time, and many other confidants of the Dark Lord disappeared with it. We have never found out where these men were sent to. Now that the mouse can become a member of the French Ministry of Magic, the other Death Eaters who disappeared with him are probably going to the same place."

Jon didn't know when he unconsciously clenched his fists. He looked at Dumbledore's blue eyes and listened to him make a terrifying guess.

"They are all in the French Ministry of Magic, playing different roles, and becoming French wizards who hold high positions in the French magic world!"

There is another chapter later, around 10 o'clock
