The British wizarding community has been very uneasy recently.
There was talk everywhere about the Ministry of Magic spending money to put bounties on Muggle-borns. A group of guys who saw the benefits and wanted to make money by hunting down Muggle-born wizards colluded to strengthen the hunting team.
Under the temptation of Galleons, Azkaban welcomed a new batch of residents in just a few days, and even some unlucky Muggle-borns living in the gray area were not spared.
Just as Albert expected, the "Self-Defense Guide" finally fulfilled its significance. A small number of Muggle wizards who purchased the "Self-Defense Guide" disguised themselves as ordinary Muggles by hiding their traces.
He successfully blended into the Muggle community and escaped the hunter's pursuit.
Of course, more Muggle wizards who have integrated into the magical world have not chosen to hide back in the Muggle world, but have chosen to go to the wilderness to survive in the wilderness. There are very few wizards who actually choose to leave the UK to avoid disaster.
Albert was quite speechless about this, simply unable to understand their brain circuits.
Anyway, we have to go to a deserted place to survive in the wilderness. Isn’t it better to go to other countries?
Not only is it safer, but you don’t have to worry about running into the search team.
"Their thinking patterns are different from yours. Staying in a familiar place will make them feel safer." Yin Zebel also had to admit that her husband's words were right. It would be safer to go abroad.
"Perhaps, they just don't have a way to leave. After all, not everyone is as adventurous as you, not everyone is as well-prepared as you, and not everyone has magical attainments like you. For ordinary wizards, their
Work and family are almost everything to them.”
"You're right, dear." Albert said softly, "I probably know what to do."
"Didn't you do everything you could to help them?" Katrina didn't understand what else Albert wanted to do.
"be safe."
Yin Zebel kissed Albert's cheek and said, "Will you be back for dinner?"
"Leave me a midnight snack."
"I thought you would find a way to stop him from continuing his adventure." Katrina looked at Albert's leaving back.
"I have already tried." Yin Zebel shook his head and said, "I also believe that he will not take risks easily."
"The situation in Britain is very bad. Maybe he won't take risks, but his friends will. You should know what kind of people Gryffindors are."
…
"I thought you forgot about the association!"
Shanna placed another cup of black tea in front of Albert and said in a resentful tone.
"How are the transferred students?" Albert changed the subject.
"The situation is not too good!"
Shanna sat across from Albert and talked about what happened in the past few days.
"Not all students are willing to believe us. It may be that the professors are wearing Mr. Shacklebolt's face, or it may be for other reasons. Fortunately, two-thirds of the students are willing to believe that we can enter the headquarters of the Defense Association."
Shanna bit the headquarters very hard.
"Of course, the situation over there is not very good. Cedric has been trying to get them to clean up there, but to no avail. I believe Cedric probably has a lot to say to you."
"It's normal. After all, they have never done these things. In Hogwarts school, most of the work is done by house elves. It's not surprising that those students have poor self-care abilities." Albert
She didn't care about the resentful look from Zannah, "But now they are refugees. There are no house elves to help them take care of their lives. It's good to have enough to eat. If they can't accept it, they can be allowed to leave on their own."
"Don't expect them to be grateful to you." Shanna said angrily, "They probably hate you and think you are deceiving them."
"I never expected them to be grateful to me." Albert shrugged. "Recently, I have asked Lee Jordan to broadcast more tragedies of Muggle wizards every day. Happiness comes from contrast."
"Will they believe it?" Shanna asked suspiciously.
"We didn't deceive them, we just told them the truth." Albert put down the tea cup and said coldly, "After all, if they don't know how to save themselves after passing through the confusion zone, then they deserve to be unlucky."
"You are really cruel. I think you should go over there and take a look. The situation there is really not good." Cedric sat next to Albert and sighed softly, "I suggest you go over there and take a look."
They, I believe your presence will definitely lift their spirits."
"Are you sure you didn't ask me to listen to their complaints?" Albert shook his head and said, "Besides, I am the secret keeper there. Once I appear there, it will mean a breach and the shelter will no longer be safe."
"You are right, but..." Cedric wanted to say something else, but was stopped by Albert.
"They are actually very lucky. The Ministry of Magic has sent a large number of manpower to search for those Muggle-borns. How many people who enter Azkaban do you think can come out alive?"
"Then should we advise those students who have not gone to the shelter?"
"They need to be responsible for their own lives, not us for them." Albert corrected, "We have already persuaded them, and we have also taken great risks to leave them a way to contact them, and we have done our best.
Do everything.”
Albert looked into Cedric's eyes and asked calmly, "Do you think we should humble ourselves and beg them to go to the asylum?"
"This?" Cedric was speechless.
"That's the thing. If they are visited by a dark wizard one day, it won't be our problem." Albert emphasized again. "We have done everything we can do."
Not long ago, Albert got the latest news from Percy.
Umbridge failed to get the roster she wanted from Snape (it was hidden by Professor McGonagall), so she directly took the most violent method to crack the brain of the wizard who originally recorded it. God knows how much information she obtained.
.pick up
Anyway, the man is dead.
This incident was completely beyond Albert's expectation. No one could cover everything, and no one expected that Umbridge could have such a ruthless move.
Albert didn't tell anyone.
Because even if he says it, others may not be willing to believe it.
Perhaps, only a harsh enough lesson can make them wake up completely.
This was the fortune teller's helplessness, but now Albert was able to deal with it calmly.
After all, he came from an era when moral standards continued to decline. Although he would not go out of his way to do bad things, in the final analysis he was just an egoist.
"By the way, there's one more thing." Zanna said suddenly: "Fred and George have been using it to monitor the dark wizards in the shelter recently. I think you'd better persuade them not to do that. If something like that happens,
If you do too much, you will completely piss off the Death Eaters. If a difficult guy comes along, they will be in big trouble."
"They need to vent. Don't look at me like that. I will never pretend to persuade others to give up revenge." Albert's words surprised several people present. "However, I will remind them to pay attention to their propriety."
"I think those dark wizards can be used as training targets. Those students also need to vent their anger. Letting them pour their anger on the dark wizards is undoubtedly a good choice." Fred also didn't feel that he and George had done anything wrong.
"I hope you remember to erase their memories, and... forget it." Albert drank up the black tea in the cup and pointed to the seat next to Shanna.
"I hope you know that you are risking your own lives." Albert reminded Fred after he sat down, "If you really want to take revenge on them, you'd better find another place instead of right under their noses.
Bottom, that was very stupid behavior. And George, I hope you still remember the identity of your secret keeper."
"Okay, you're right!"
Fred accepted Albert's proposal. After all, Albert did not stop them from seeking revenge on those dark wizards.
"I'll be safe," George said.
Noticing the looks from Zannah and Cedric, Albert shook his head and said: "Hate is not so easy to eliminate. Harry is not in trouble with the mysterious man because he is the savior, but because the mysterious man killed him.
The whole family, so of course he wants to seek revenge on the mysterious man. It doesn’t matter whether he is the savior or not, but I still hope that you two can stay rational and not be blinded by hatred and end up risking your own life. That is very stupid.
matter."
"You're right, we will pay attention."
George gave Fred a look and changed the subject, "We are currently trying to get them some sleeping bags from Muggles. There is almost nothing in the shelter, and their life is quite difficult."
"Have they forgotten that they are wizards?" Albert looked very speechless. "They have magic wands in their hands. Whatever they lack can be directly transformed using magic. They can also train their transformation spells and magic.
It requires regular use."
"This is not easy, not everyone is you, and transfiguration is the most difficult of all subjects." Cedric felt that Albert took it too naturally.
"Of course I know it's not easy, but it requires practice and we can learn from each other. No matter what happens, nothing is achieved overnight." Albert tapped his finger on the table and said: "Practice, practice, keep practicing. This is better than what they did at Hogwarts."
They learn things faster, don't underestimate their potential, I believe that as long as they persist for a year and a half, they will even be better at transfiguration, spells and defense against the dark arts than the students at Hogwarts."
"Okay, you convinced me." Cedric shrugged, "But I still think they need someone to guide them, and you are undoubtedly the most suitable person."
"You can't expect a group of students to be like you." Shanna also decided to throw the question to Albert, "In fact, if we didn't have your guidance, this place would also be a mess."
"Are you sure you didn't ask me to listen to their complaints?" Albert looked at the people present suspiciously.
"Why do you think that?" George asked.
"Because I have already guessed what I will face after I go, but those... don't have much meaning." Albert sighed softly and said: "Okay, you are right, they need someone to guide them, so you can
Are you satisfied?"
"It seems you are finally willing to go over and take a look."
Not only Cedric, but everyone else was smiling happily.
"They need someone to listen to their complaints." Albert shook his head and said: "But the world still has to rely on itself. We can help them for a while, but we cannot help them for a lifetime. We must let them recognize the reality and get back on their feet.
OK."
"It's hard," Fred said.
"Then let them suffer a little." Albert said without thinking.
"What are you going to do?"
"The house elves need to return to Hogwarts after the summer vacation and can no longer help them prepare food, so they must learn to save themselves, otherwise they will have to eat boiled potatoes every day or go hungry." Albert was not pregnant.
He said kindly, "I believe that when they are starved, they will be able to swallow anything."
"House elf..." Cedric seemed to have thought of something.
"Dobby is busy enough taking care of you." Zannah reached out and patted Cedric on the shoulder and said, "Next time, remember to come to the kitchen to help, maybe you won't think that way, and it was paid by Albert.
Hired."
"Feel sorry."
"What did the Order of the Phoenix say? Have they found a suitable candidate?" Albert asked, changing the topic.
"Tonks' father Ted is willing to help. You know because of Lupine, he doesn't want to stay at the headquarters of the Order of the Phoenix." George explained that the Order of the Phoenix also has many partners who are also willing to provide them with shelter.
.
"Actually, Lupine didn't mind living there, but considering Tonks' problem, he finally gave up."
Fred also felt that Lupine's relationship with the Tonks family was bad.
"His werewolf identity is a problem, and you would also mind it." Albert said matter-of-factly, "But since he married Tonks, he should be aware of it."
"I heard that you approve of them being together," Fred said suddenly.
"It's not that my daughter wants to marry him, why should I object." Albert said matter-of-factly.
Everyone looked at each other and had nothing to say. This was indeed the truth.
"By the way, Hannah Abbott wants to join us. Her parents were killed by a mysterious man." Cedric seemed to think of the girl who contacted him recently.
"Is she an adult? If she still has traces on her body." Albert raised his eyebrows and said, "At least we have to wait until the traces on her body disappear before we consider this issue."
"She is now an adult." Cedric asked, "What are you going to do with her?"
"I remember Miss Abbott is a prefect. If she is willing, she can go to the shelter first to help take care of the children and learn some defense against dark arts with everyone." Albert thought for a while and said, "In
At least there are his classmates there, so they won't hate those pure-blood wizards. They must be made to understand that the suffering is caused by the mysterious person."
