"By the way, why do you have to pretend to be me to see Zuko?"
Li Jordan looked up and down at the guy who looked exactly like him, reached out and touched his chin, and murmured, "Is it because I'm more handsome?"
"No, I think I'm more handsome!" Albert said with a smile.
"puff,"
Fred just took a sip of black tea and spit out the tea in his mouth.
"Hahaha!"
George patted Lee Jordan hard on the shoulder and said with a smile: "I think what Albert said makes sense. He is indeed much more handsome than you!"
"What are you talking about? And how come there are two Lis..." After Shanna saw that there were two Li Jordans in the hall, she was slightly stunned. She quickly realized and asked tentatively: "Ai
Bert?”
"Yes, that unscrupulous guy actually turned into me and went out to fool that hapless guy Jokowi." Lee Jordan stared at his face resentfully and couldn't help complaining, "You can't change back.
Is that so? It’s scary to look at yourself like this.”
"The effect of the compound potion lasts longer than I expected." Albert took out his pocket watch from his pocket, looked at the time and said comfortingly, "But don't worry, the effect of the medicine should be quick."
"You haven't said why you turned into me to see Jokowi?" Lee Jordan asked.
"Because of safety." Albert explained helplessly: "Once I go there by myself, it will cause a lot of trouble. You should also know that the Malfoy family is looking for me, those greedy guys living in the gray area.
, they will probably swarm in like sharks smelling blood.”
"What is a shark?"
"A very dangerous sea creature." Shanna explained with a strange expression.
"What's more, there are Death Eaters. I guess those guys want to kill me. Even if I'm not afraid of them, I still need to worry about being attacked by a sneak attack." Albert paused and continued, "If it were someone else.
, what they do should not be that extreme, they may attack you secretly, or try to use the Imperius Curse to control you to deal with me, but it will definitely not be as extreme as dealing with me."
The room suddenly became quiet, and everyone looked at Albert.
"What's wrong? Is there anything wrong with what I said?"
Albert clearly noticed the change in the surrounding atmosphere, put down his teacup, and asked doubtfully.
"Have you met?"
George couldn't help frowning and asked, "There is indeed something wrong with that Zuko, right?"
"Well, that unfortunate guy was indeed controlled by someone using the Imperius Curse." Albert shrugged, "Although I noticed it as soon as I saw him, that situation is still hard to guard against. If you go there, you will probably be
He knocked him down with a glass of butterbeer."
"Butterbeer?"
"He said it was a pleasure to work with him and he wanted to have a drink. What do you think?" Albert reminded, "Don't eat and drink randomly outside. God knows if anyone added anything to it. Well, it's fine when dealing with Death Eaters.
Use this trick."
"Is it because we went to Hogwarts to see him last time?" George had already realized the reason. "When we went to Hogsmeade Village, we were targeted by someone?"
"That's not right. We were very careful at the time. How could it be possible..." Fred was a little confused. When they went to Hogsmeade, they made sure there was no danger in the village before going to see Zuko.
"Well, there is probably a Death Eater spy in Hogsmeade." Albert said without thinking, "Maybe someone is controlled by the Imperius Curse, so the detector didn't detect it."
"But don't worry." Albert comforted, "This matter is not a big problem."
"Not a big problem?"
Shanna looked at Albert with surprised eyes. She really couldn't understand the other person's calmness, and couldn't understand why Albert could say these words in an understatement.
"Then what should we do next? If Zuko is unreliable, the plan to open a branch in Hogsmeade Village may not be able to continue." Fred frowned and asked: "What are you going to do? There can't be any
You’re not making any money, are you?”
"Just let Kenneth get in touch with Joko." Albert had already made arrangements.
Since the last time Mr. Toller was sent to Azkaban by the Ministry of Magic for organizing an attack on a specialty store, Kenneth has taken the initiative to come to the door, hoping to prevent his father from being sentenced to death by the Ministry of Magic.
People got closer, and the two parties signed a magic contract in exchange for their initial trust.
"Okay, let Kenneth go." George nodded.
"So, that's why you let him go?"
Lee Jordan was suddenly enlightened. He asked why Albert exposed the matter so easily. It turned out that there was still a trap somewhere.
"It sounds like my conspiracy."
"That's what it is."
However, after listening to Albert's words, the three of them have realized that they had better not take the lead easily, lest they really become the target of the Death Eaters. If they get into trouble at such a critical moment, they may miss the most important moment.
Time to make money.
This is undoubtedly an uncomfortable thing.
According to Albert's plan, as long as they work hard in the past few years, they will almost never have to worry about making money in this life.
"What are your plans next?"
"Prepare a few more safe houses for refuge, and reorganize others to conduct black magic defense training." Albert motioned for a few people to listen quietly: "The next situation will only get worse, and you need some self-protection.
Ability."
"Do you really think Scrimgeour will be assassinated soon and the mysterious man will completely control the Ministry of Magic?" Zannah frowned slightly when she heard this.
"This is inevitable. Scrimgeour has offended many people."
"Dumbledore probably won't let the mysterious man control the Ministry of Magic." After Zanna said this, she suddenly turned her head to look at Albert, and she had a terrible guess.
"Sure enough, is that so?"
"Although that is indeed consistent with the results I predicted, things have not happened after all, and everything may change." Albert calmly comforted: "I will give them a warning, but the specific results are hard to say."
"Could it be that you can't..."
Shanna looked at Albert, she felt that with Albert's ability, maybe he could...
"I have never been arrogant enough to think that I can change the future." Albert laughed at himself, "What I can do is give them a warning, that's all. As for their final outcome, it should be decided by themselves, not me.
.”
"Besides, I don't have the qualifications either."
"you're right."
Shanna seemed to realize something and sighed softly.
"Are you going to teach us Defense Against the Dark Arts?" George changed the subject.
"I will teach you some more important things. As for other magics, you can only rely on your own training." Albert recalled his rough plan, "As for Cedric, I will talk to him then.
"
"It seems that you are planning to do something big." Fred was a little excited.
"I think the biggest question is where to place our secret stronghold?" George asked.
Although there is a place for practicing magic here, it obviously cannot accommodate too many people, and since they still live here, letting other people come will pose a certain risk to their safety.
"It's not decided yet. I'll tell you when the time comes. I'll just tell you first." Albert smiled and said, "You can help me think of a solution when you have time."
"It seems that the future situation is very bad."
Shanna was not optimistic about the future change of the situation. If the situation was not so bad, how could Albert need to prepare many safe houses, which were obviously not prepared for them.
"It's really not that good, if you don't defeat the mysterious man." Albert said calmly: "Of course, that is Potter's mission."
"You also think he is the savior and can defeat the mysterious man?" Shanna was a little confused. In her opinion, Albert was more like the savior.
"Although my prediction is that Harry Potter wins, he is only one person after all, and he needs everyone's support." Albert continued, "Moreover, everyone also needs a certain ability to protect themselves."
"Maybe, we should talk to the Order of the Phoenix..."
"Well, you are right, we can consider setting up a training institution for defense against dark arts with the Order of the Phoenix." Albert clapped his hands and said excitedly: "You can ask Sirius and Lupin to cooperate, and remember to pull Crazy Eyes.
Han, he is the best sign, a famous former Auror, although he has a weird personality, he is really suitable, isn't he?"
"But, will they agree?" Fred didn't think Sirius would agree to such a thing. After all, they all had their own things to be busy with.
"They will. They only need to spare a few hours a week to pull... I mean, if there is a chance to help Harry win over a group of supporters, why not?" Albert's mind was running rapidly, and he pulled out a few hours.
With a flick of the wand, a quill was quickly recording the ideas he had just thought of.
"I don't think there are many people who are willing to participate in training. After all, it costs money." Li Jordan clearly pointed out the biggest problem, "And..."
"This training institution can be organized by cooperating with the Ministry of Magic." Albert interrupted, "I believe many people will be willing to participate. This is more practical than the Ministry of Magic distributing boring pamphlets. I believe Scrimgeour will not
Giving up this opportunity easily, after all, he can gain a good reputation without spending much effort, and can also greatly alleviate the threat of dark wizards."
"The Order of the Phoenix can also use this to get some reliable help. It is necessary to at least find some supporters for Harry."
"By the way, you also need to prepare a secret radio station..."
"Sounds crazy!" Shanna muttered.
They were all startled by Albert's imagination. Is this the plan for all the people to learn Defense Against Dark Arts?
In order to increase credibility, they actually plan to let the Ministry of Magic take the lead and let members of the Order of the Phoenix help with training?
"If you don't have a suitable stronghold, I can provide you with one for free. Well, it's the manor where the Ministry of Magic arrested the dark wizards last time."
"Is that manor yours?"
"Well, Mr. Flamel left that manor to me." Albert nodded and said, "The manor is very large and can accommodate many people."
"Actually, you just want to leave everything to other people." Lee Jordan unceremoniously revealed Albert's sinister intentions, "Do you just want to be lazy?"
Several other people stared at Albert with suspicion.
"I'm not making a plan for you. This is the most difficult job." Albert picked up the parchment and checked it carefully. After slightly modifying some of the content on it, he handed the parchment to George: "You
You can give it to Sirius first, ask him to hand it to Kingsley, and then pass it to Scrimgeour from Kingsley. I believe our minister will definitely be interested in it!"
"Are you sure there are really wizards willing to participate?" Lee Jordan still expressed doubts.
"If it were you, would you be willing to participate?"
"have no idea."
"That's why we let the Ministry of Magic take the lead!" Albert reminded, "We are not training them to be soldiers, but teaching them how to protect themselves."
"Well, since you said that..." George took the parchment, "I hope you are right."
