In the conference room of the Defense Association headquarters, Albert was holding an impromptu meeting. The members of the Defense Association who came to attend the meeting could clearly feel the oppressive atmosphere at the scene.
"I think you all should have noticed that the mysterious man and the Death Eaters are expanding their power unscrupulously, and many Muggles have become innocent victims at the hands of the Death Eaters."
Albert sat at the head of the round table and talked a lot of nonsense.
"I have expected the current situation a long time ago, but it is also a very helpless thing." Albert raised his hand to stop the noise and signaled everyone to stay quiet. "After Dumbledore suddenly died, there was no one left.
It can make the mysterious person feel that his life is threatened, and his behavior will no longer be as scrupulous and restrained as before."
"Can't you even do it?" Lee Jordan knew how powerful Albert was.
"I will never be arrogant enough to think that I can make the mysterious man worry." Albert shook his head and said: "This is an inevitable process now, and the collapse of the Ministry of Magic is already a matter of time. You must be prepared to face the impact.
."
"But the Ministry of Magic...how could it suddenly collapse?"
Angelina was very shocked and confused by Albert's prediction. She really couldn't understand why the Ministry of Magic would collapse.
"This kind of thing is normal, because the Ministry of Magic has become an obstacle to You-Know-Who." Albert tapped the table with his fingers to attract everyone's attention. "If Scrimgeour had Dumbledore's level,
The Ministry of Magic will naturally be safe and sound."
"It's a pity that Scrimgeour is just a relatively powerful Auror, and he is completely incompetent in front of the mysterious man. Therefore, it is only a matter of time before the Ministry of Magic is controlled by the mysterious man."
This is undoubtedly a very cruel thing. When the rules are not easy to use, the Ministry of Magic, which originally had the advantage, will not have any advantage. Especially when their fists are not strong enough, it is normal for them to be completely replaced by Voldemort.
.
Of course, Scrimgeour was actually aware of this, so he always hoped to seek Albert's help.
As long as Albert is willing to help the Ministry of Magic, he can definitely block the pressure from the mysterious man, but what good does such a laborious and thankless task do to Albert?
How many more panel tasks are there?
By the way, do you want to commit suicide to attract a wave of hatred from Voldemort?
You would have to be so stupid to actually do that.
Even when I was caught in the door, I didn’t think so.
Albert felt that his mind was normal and he had no interest in being such a fool, let alone turning himself into a knife of the Ministry of Magic.
He would not do such a fearless thing as confronting the mysterious man head-on, because he knew very well what kind of stuff the politicians in the Ministry of Magic were.
They can use their so-called righteousness to tie others up without any worries, and they will not be lenient when stabbing their own people in the back.
How Scrimgeour died in the end, Albert has not forgotten.
How many of the top officials of the Ministry of Magic who are said to be controlled by Death Eaters are not following the trend.
At first, they may really be controlled by the Imperius Curse, but time will seriously weaken the effect of the Imperius Curse. Especially for those who can climb to the top, the average level is basically not too bad.
Without Voldemort's level, it would be impossible to control them for a long time, let alone a group of people.
In Albert's view, the collapse of the Ministry of Magic and reshuffling is a necessary process.
If the entire magical world wants to change, it will ultimately require bloodshed and sacrifice, and will never change due to individual will.
Not even Dumbledore, let alone Albert himself, would never be so foolish and arrogant as to think he could do it on his own.
Grindelwald, who last tried to challenge the authority of the wizarding world, is still imprisoned in Nurmengard.
Now that Voldemort is doing it for him, why should he charge ahead?
This is how many brain fragments you have to eat to be able to do this.
It is true that Voldemort is not a reformer, but he can definitely make the entire wizarding world a mess. Only chaos can create opportunities. This is very important.
As for Voldemort's tragic death in the end, what does it have to do with Albert?
It should be said that the whole thing has nothing to do with him, Albert. At most, he just goes along with the trend and gets the maximum benefit from it. Even everyone will only be grateful for his contribution in the fight against Voldemort.
Albert himself does not pursue anything, but his followers do. The connection between interests is closer and more reliable than anything else.
And those positions always need someone to make way for those who come after you.
Otherwise, how could Hermione finally sit on the throne of Minister of Magic?
Just because he is the savior's partner?
To think that way is really not naive.
The entire magical world's tolerance limit for Muggle wizards is actually just that, and Albert himself feels it more deeply than anyone else.
He was able to break through the blockade of those invisible ceilings entirely because he cheated.
If the entire magical world does not experience enough suffering and a large number of people do not fall, the people in the Ministry of Magic will continue to occupy those pits like shitmakers.
Therefore, he gave up on Scrimgeour and chose to sit on the sidelines.
Because that's the best option right now.
"When the mysterious people and Death Eaters completely occupy the Ministry of Magic, they will control various newspapers in the UK, declare Muggle wizards illegal, and persecute them." Albert said the creepy words lightly, "
By then, Azkaban should be able to work normally again, and it will be used to hold captured Muggle wizards."
"You mean..."
Everyone was shocked and speechless by Albert's prediction.
"As for excuses, you can find a bunch of them even if you think about it with your knees. Don't take any chances." Albert looked around the crowd and said: "Don't use your normal thinking to try to understand the mysterious person. That is not appropriate.
.”
"What do those guys want to do?"
"Perhaps, they want to establish a country where pure-blood wizards are respected. Of course, Death Eaters are the most noble, and the rest will be the objects of oppression."
"Sounds ridiculous."
"Yes, but you can't expect the Death Eaters to come up with better ways?" Albert's tone was full of sarcasm: "They actually don't care about these, they only care about the status they can obtain.
and interests.”
"I have to say that there is something wrong with the vision of those guys." Shanna shook her head and said, "They are still stuck in the old-era thinking mode. Maybe they can oppress others through threats and other methods, but I don't think so.
This kind of thing can last forever, we are not the serfs in the old days who were oppressed but could not resist."
"The magic world may never lack resistance, but we have to admit that most wizards are weak." Albert shook his head. "Otherwise, what they need is not a savior, but a team that can completely crush the Death Eater."
An army of Aurors and You-Know-Who."
In fact, Albert also tried, but Dumbledore obviously thought that the wizarding world needed a savior more.
None of them could convince anyone, so in the end Albert gave in, because he knew very well that there was no point in not giving in.
Who let Dumbledore die?
"We will all stand up against You-Know-Who."
"Yes, all of us here will stand up, which is undoubtedly a gratifying thing." Albert said with satisfaction, "But before that, we still need to lurk and wait patiently, and we need to absorb more secretly.
More members will join us and continue to increase our strength, instead of rushing to die."
"Of course, I refer to the peripheral members." Albert solemnly reminded, "The mysterious man and the Death Eaters have never given up looking for our whereabouts. Maybe they will eventually figure out what the Defense Association is, but we must do our best.
It may delay the arrival of that day and buy enough time for you to become stronger."
"You can find a way, right."
Everyone looked at Albert expectantly.
"There is a saying that what goes up must come down. The power of the mysterious man and the Death Eaters will soon reach its peak, and they will not be far away from declining." Albert looked around at the crowd and continued, "This means that the second time
The Wizarding War will not last long."
"Will Harry Potter defeat You-Know-Who?" Someone else couldn't help asking. They couldn't wait to get the answer from Albert so that they could feel at ease.
"Maybe, we all hope that Harry can defeat the mysterious man, and I believe he can do it, but we'd better not put all our hopes on him." Albert raised his hand and pressed it to signal everyone to stay quiet.
"My suggestion is that you continue to practice and enhance your black magic defense level so that you can contribute to the fight against the mysterious man in the near future."
"To be honest, I don't really want to say these words to you, because most people will not change their minds because of these few words of mine, but someone has to tell you the current situation and what to do next.
Although I don’t think I am necessarily right, there must be someone.”
"As for which things require special attention, you will know later by looking at the parchment."
Albert waved his wand and conjured a stack of paper out of thin air. He raised his wand and tapped the stack of paper lightly, causing the paper to be automatically distributed to all team members.
"Finally, I must remind you that everyone needs to be responsible for what they do."
"Also, I may leave the UK for a while."
"Has the situation really become so bad?" Cedric raised his hand and asked: "I think with your strength, you should not be much inferior to the mysterious man. If..."
"I have tried before, but Dumbledore's death ruined my original plan. As for the mysterious man, I am not afraid of him, but now is not the time. We need to wait patiently and wait for the time to come out to surprise him.
, exposing it now will only make them wary, and only extremely stupid people can’t wait to reveal their secret cards to the enemy.”
"Timing?"
Although everyone didn't know what Albert was waiting for, as a master of divination, he obviously saw an opportunity to defeat the mysterious man. They just needed to believe in Albert.
After the meeting, everyone was carefully reading the paper that Albert had just distributed and discussing the contents in low voices.
Noticing the gazes of the Weasley brothers, Albert followed the two of them out of the conference room.
"Lupin is getting married." George suddenly said: "Marry Tonks. They want to invite you to the wedding."
"Forget it, I'm leaving England tomorrow." Albert shook his head and refused. He knew that Lupine's invitation to him was not just to attend the wedding.
Albert never thought he could solve some problems, so he had no intention of going there from the beginning, and he was not interested in accepting other people's questions.
He believed that the Order of the Phoenix could solve Harry Potter's problem. If he couldn't even do such a small thing, why should he keep the Order of the Phoenix?
"If the headquarters of the Order of the Phoenix is completed, I suggest that they move to the headquarters of the Order of the Phoenix. It will at least be safer to hold a small wedding there. I think Lupine probably never thought of having the wedding too grand!" Albert
Te finally gave some trivial advice of his own.
He has always felt that wizards in the magical world like to seek death. Although there is a deep hatred between the two parties, they still like to run out and play around.
If it were him, he would have sent them to see Merlin earlier.
In fact, Albert did do that, which was the main reason why his previous cooperation with the Ministry of Magic was quite pleasant.
"Well, you don't mind if I become the child's godfather. I'm definitely more suitable than Fred." George actually knew the reason why Albert left the UK. His child was about to be born. Staying in the UK would only bring trouble to the child.
Come the danger of uncertainty.
It would be safer to leave the UK and get away from it all.
"You guy..."
"At worst, when my child is born, I'll ask you to be his godfather."
"You guy doesn't even have a girlfriend yet." Fred couldn't help rolling his eyes.
"That's really congratulations to you."
Cedric reached out and patted Albert on the shoulder, "However, I still hope you can come back as soon as possible. I feel that the situation in the British wizarding community will get worse and worse. God knows how things will turn out."
"You have to grow up eventually. You can't expect to rely on me for everything. Then I will die of exhaustion." Albert said with a smile.
"He actually just wants to be lazy," Fred said bluntly.
"Okay, I have to go. I'll leave later." Albert smiled and waved his hand, "As long as you don't mess around, there won't be any big trouble."
"I really envy him for always being so calm."
Looking at Albert's leaving figure, Cedric sighed softly, "What should we do next, continue training?"
"Well, of course, it is more important to continue training and improve your level. At least you can ensure your own safety when encountering danger." George withdrew his gaze and said calmly, "Actually, you must be too worried. We are still
If we follow Albert's arrangement, there will definitely be no big problem."
"No, I feel that what Albert said may not be far away." Cedric was even more worried about the series of changes after the collapse of the Ministry of Magic. He knew very well how bad it would be if something like that happened.
