On the passenger plane flying to France, Herb was talking in a low voice to Daisy who was sitting next to him, discussing his son's wedding. Although the Andersons had anticipated this day for a long time and were mentally prepared for it,
When the time came, they felt a little uneasy because Albert's wedding seemed different from what they had imagined.
They have never attended a wizard's wedding.
Thinking about it now, since Albert became a wizard, their family felt like they had had a long, long dream.
The plane began to land, and after a slight turbulence, it stopped smoothly on the airport runway.
Herb, his wife, parents and daughter followed the crowd off the plane, and a group of people dragged their small suitcases towards the security entrance.
I remember that they used to go to King's Cross Station to pick Albert up, but now it was Albert who came to pick them up.
time flies!
Herb raised his head and looked around, trying to find that familiar figure in the crowd, but there were so many people around that Albert could not be found at all.
It wasn't until everyone was far away from the security gate that they finally saw that familiar figure in the crowd waving and smiling at them.
Nia put down her suitcase, walked forward quickly, spread her hands and gave Albert a warm hug.
"Why are you alone?" Daisy asked in confusion after stepping forward to give her son a hug.
"It's more convenient for me to be alone." When Albert finally gave Herb a hug, he said to everyone with a smile, "Come with me. Europe is not peaceful recently, and this is not a good place to talk."
"Where are we going, the hotel?" Nia asked puzzledly.
"No, it's not safe there. I'll take you to the safe house." Albert showed a slight apology and motioned for everyone to follow him.
Everyone looked at each other and followed Albert silently. They didn't have any opinions on where to live.
After walking to a deserted place, Albert placed the suitcase on the ground, opened it and motioned for them to enter the suitcase.
Nia walked into the suitcase first, and the others also walked into the suitcase. This was not the first time that they were apparated by someone in the suitcase.
That's faster and safer.
Almost in the blink of an eye, everyone saw the safe house Albert mentioned.
Herb looked at the very old villa in front of him, turned to Albert and said, "It looks abandoned for a long time."
"We live in a box." Nia reminded, it was the same way last time we went to the Quidditch World Cup.
"This is the safe house. Only the secret keeper tells the secret, otherwise no one can find it." Albert explained to several people.
"That note just now..."
"That was written by the secret keeper, indicating that he is willing to tell you the secret." Albert pushed away the house, turned around and explained, "This is currently the most reliable protection magic."
"The most reliable protective magic?" Herb muttered.
"Yes, it is very reliable. The disadvantage is that after casting the Loyalty Curse, it is equivalent to the place being completely erased from reality." Albert changed the expression to something that everyone can understand, "Only by getting the safekeeping key, that is, keeping it secret.
Only with people's permission can we know the existence of this place and enter here."
"In other words, if you want to enter here, you need to find the secret keeper?"
"right."
"What if two secret keepers keep secrets from each other?" Nia suddenly asked.
"Then no one can find them." Albert said with a smile, "Of course, this place is already semi-abandoned, and we only need to use the protective magic here."
As he spoke, Albert opened the suitcase on the ground and made a gesture of invitation.
They all got into the suitcase, and the environment inside was quite nice.
In the afternoon, Isobel also came over and stayed with Albert's family all afternoon, chatting about the current situation of the British wizarding world and mentioning some things that should be paid special attention to.
"In other words, the devil named the mysterious man has been resurrected?" It was really difficult for Herb to understand that the wizard could actually resurrect the dead.
However, Luke quickly accepted this matter. He had also lived in the magical world and knew about the mysterious man.
"The British wizarding world is at war, so we decided to choose France as the location."
"war?"
"Although it sounds a bit exaggerated, the current situation is indeed not optimistic." Albert said apologetically: "For safety, I can only stay here temporarily. Mrs. McDougal will also come to France the day after tomorrow at the latest."
"Do you really not need our help with the wedding?" Herb asked Albert while enjoying the after-dinner fruit.
Herb and Daisy were both embarrassed to give their son's wedding to Mrs. MacDougal.
"You don't need to worry about the wedding, I will take care of things." Albert saw the two people's thoughts and comforted them.
"After you get married, do you still plan to return to the UK?"
"Well, go back."
"Is your new home ready?"
"Get ready, it's also protected by the Loyalty Charm, it's very safe." Albert said.
"Actually, you are still young and there is no need to risk your promising future." Daisy was silent for a moment and suddenly said, "I still think you should leave the UK temporarily and leave Europe to find a safe place to live temporarily and wait for the war here.
Go back after it’s over?”
"We are safe in the UK." Albert comforted, "Besides, your son is actually very powerful."
"Okay, Albert has grown up. He has his own ideas. We should not interfere with his decision." Herb stopped Daisy who wanted to say something more, patted Albert on the shoulder and said:
"Just do whatever you want, but you have to remember that after you get married, you are no longer alone."
…
The next day, Albert secretly returned to England and took Katrina and Mrs. McDougal to France. The suitcase suddenly became crowded, and Albert never thought that so many people would live here.
Fortunately, he had asked the house elves to temporarily vacate the laboratory and temporarily converted most of the rooms into guest rooms, which could barely accommodate everyone.
After the parents of both sides met, a magical thing happened. They were all surprised to find that they knew nothing about Albert and Isobel's wedding, and they didn't even know who was helping to prepare the wedding.
In the meantime, Mr. Mogg came and told them about the wedding, and brought Nia and Katrina's dresses.
"Thank you, Mog." Mrs. McDougal said with a complicated expression.
"You're welcome. In fact, I really wanted to be their witness, but it's a pity that I didn't take the chance." Moge changed the topic with a smile.
"Is the wedding ready?" Herb hesitated for a moment and asked, "What about the cost..."
"Yes, it's ready. As for the cost, Albert has already paid for it. In fact, it doesn't cost much. Many of Albert's old friends took the initiative to celebrate." Moger said with a smile: "The biggest problem at the moment is actually
Screen the guests to prevent strange people from sneaking into the wedding and causing trouble."
"There is no problem in this regard." Albert said, "I have been ready for it a long time ago."
"Then you take them to the manor tomorrow to see if there are any other problems."
Mogg came and left very quickly, which made the Anderson family a little confused, but they all could see that Mr. Mogg had a close relationship with Albert, and it was definitely not just what Mrs. McDougal said.
Relatives, otherwise Albert would not have been entrusted with the important task of handling the wedding.
Over the years, Albert's changes have also made them feel a little strange.
In fact, both Mrs. McDougal and the Anderson family had the illusion that they were actually attending a wedding.
In the next few days, Albert also began to become busy. He first published wrong information on the silver card, and secretly visited Scrimgeour to discuss a plan to ambush the Death Eaters.
During Albert's stay in France, some changes also occurred in the British wizarding world. Perhaps stimulated by the Bones murder incident, most British wizards were biased toward Scrimgeour, hoping that this hard-line Auror
The office manager can lead everyone through difficulties.
Scrimgeour is also very concerned about this action. He plans to use this opportunity to completely establish his position and consolidate people's confidence in the Ministry of Magic.
While Albert was busy with the wedding, the Andersons and Mrs. McDougal in the safe house actually reached a proposal that Isobel should have a child as soon as possible.
Nia and Katrina were discussing beauty potions. They believed that Muggle and wizard beauty methods should be combined to develop a way to better maintain their appearance and figure.
"Albert went out again?" Daisy looked at Isobel sitting down with an iced watermelon and asked tentatively.
"He said he was going back to England to deal with the wedding." Isobel did not deny this.
"Albert has been a very independent child from a long time ago, and he has made us worry a lot, but the decisions he makes are usually not easily changed." Daisy grabbed Isobel's hand and said softly, "I
I hope you can help us keep an eye on him and don't let him do those risky things."
"I will." Isobel said.
"After you get married, you can go to Hawaii for a vacation first." Herb suggested.
"I'm afraid not." Isobel explained, "The Flamel couple don't have much time. With Albert's character, it is very likely that he will stay and accompany them on the last journey of their lives."
"As long as I don't go back to England, I think there's no problem." Daisy and Mrs. McDougal exchanged glances and continued, "There's one more thing. I hope you won't be angry. We all hope that you can have a child as soon as possible."
"Albert has discussed this matter with me." Isobel gradually lowered her voice, "We will not deliberately..."
