The darkness before dawn shrouded the bathtub of the Mediterranean. In the calm sea that people didn't know, a light suddenly lit up. A sea ship with a shining light on the bow was slowly rising from the sea level, in place.
After a short stay, it sailed towards the deep sea at dawn like a ghost ship.
After a busy night, Albert returned to the ship and was sitting at the dining table, enjoying the potato cheese pancakes made by Isobel himself, while explaining the reason for his late return.
"So, you came back so late just because you secretly went back and released the Dark Mark?"
Isobel looked sideways at Albert, who was sitting at the dining table enjoying a late-night snack, and poured the freshly brewed hot cocoa into the cup.
"I think that should be the scene I predicted from the crystal ball."
Normally, Albert would not attach so much importance to the outcome of the prophecy, but the current situation is different.
He really wanted Voldemort to die.
"Yes, yes, that prediction you made came true again."
Isobel handed the freshly cooked hot cocoa to Albert and said in a perfunctory tone, "But what you didn't expect is that you actually made the Dark Mark yourself."
"Yes, the mysterious man probably lost too badly and was too embarrassed to leave the Dark Mark." Albert sighed without guilt, "Of course, it's also possible that the people they killed were all their own people, anyway.
I have already helped them make up for it, since someone is dead, how can there be no Dark Mark?"
"Drink, and go back early to rest after drinking. You have been busy late, so you must be tired!"
As she said that, she also reached out her hand to cover her yawn.
In order to wait for Albert to come back, Isobel also stayed up all night.
In fact, not only Isobel, but everyone on the ship except Alice was waiting for Albert to return safely.
Every time Albert went on an adventure, they had to be frightened.
"Sorry honey."
Albert's face was full of guilt. Of course, he knew that his absence late at night would cause Isobel to worry, but there were some things he had to do, so how could he rest assured if he left them to others?
What's more, victory is already close at hand, and he will never allow the chain to drop temporarily.
"Then don't let us worry all day long, dear. I don't have a big heart like Gryffindor."
Isobel leaned over and kissed Albert's forehead and said, "After you finish drinking, go back and rest early."
"You should drink some too, I guess we won't be able to get up tomorrow morning." Albert pointed to the cup of hot cocoa.
"While I was waiting for you to come back, I had already had supper."
Isobel sat down next to Albert, resting her chin on her hands while watching Albert eat supper. She suddenly asked, "Tell me about tonight?"
Albert didn't intend to hide anything. When he briefly talked about tonight's actions, Isobel frowned because in her opinion, it was just Albert deliberately causing trouble for the mysterious man.
"Why don't you evacuate immediately?" Isobel was very confused. "You should have a way to take people away quietly, right? What is the point of fighting the mysterious man and the Death Eaters until they are bloody?"
"It's not a bloody head." Albert corrected.
"what is that?"
"This sneak attack is very important to the members of the association."
Albert looked at Isobel's slightly stern eyes and said softly, "Moreover, the result is not bad, a lot of cannon fodder died on the mysterious man's side."
"That's because you are lucky. Don't you think the Death Eaters have become smarter?" Isobel reminded, "They have even used decoys. There is no guarantee that they will not use other methods next time."
"So this can give other members unexpected gains."
"You are very important, there is no need to take risks." Isobel said softly, "Whether it is to me, the association or the current British magical world."
"I'm confident that I can protect my own safety. You know, I'm not a risk-taker."
After Albert drank the cup of hot cocoa and finished several pieces of potato pancakes, he yawned and prepared to go back to his room to rest.
Not used to taking risks?
People who don't like taking risks will lose their lives if they take risks.
Isobel looked at Albert's leaving figure and took the bottle to feed Alice.
"He is back?"
Katrina appeared outside the nursery holding Tom Cat, looking at Isobel who was taking care of Alice and asked.
"He's fine, he just did something naughty and was delayed." Isobel patted Alice on the back, looked sideways at her sister, sighed softly, and reminded, "You should work harder.
"
"You yourself can't convince him not to take risks easily, let alone me." Katrina curled her lips and said.
"You know what I'm talking about."
Isobel put the baby back on the crib and stared at her sister.
Katrina didn't say anything, and the room suddenly fell into a strange silence.
I don't know how long it took, but Katrina couldn't bear the awkward atmosphere and said first, "You know, Gryffindors are all like that."
"No, he probably...has some reason to do it!" Isobel actually knew the reason:
Albert planned to kill Voldemort completely.
Albert once told Isobel about this matter, that everything he did was to kill Voldemort completely, so as to prevent the guy from pretending to be dead every once in a while.
Isobel actually also knew why Albert insisted on killing Voldemort completely.
Once Voldemort is resurrected, he will definitely take revenge on those around Albert.
Albert would never tolerate this kind of thing.
"He told you most of his secrets." Katrina shrugged, "So, my dear sister, you are the one who should work harder."
With that said, Katrina turned and left.
Looking at her sister's leaving figure, Isobel sighed softly and murmured, "No one is generous, my sister, why don't you understand? Once the opportunity is missed, it is missed."
When Isobel returned to the dormitory, the light was still on in the bathroom. When she took off the thick cloak and hung it on the hanger, the bathroom door was opened from the inside, and Albert was wearing a nightgown.
When I walked out wearing slippers, the very faint smell of blood on my body completely disappeared.
Isobel seemed uneasy and lifted up Albert's pajamas to check them carefully.
"Okay, honey, I'm fine, I'm just a little sleepy. You can wait until I wake up to talk about other things, okay?"
Albert picked up the pocket watch on the bedside table and glanced at the time, his face becoming more sleepy.
It's six o'clock in the morning, and the sky is starting to get brighter outside.
"Good night."
He stretched out his hand to cover his yawn, said good night, lay down, and soon fell into a deep sleep.
"Good night, dear."
Isobel looked sideways at the young face and slowly closed her eyes,
This night, they slept very late, but there was nothing they could do about it. Who told them to go to bed after six o'clock in the morning?
However.
Little did Albert know that not long after the sun rose the next day, the entire British wizarding world was completely blown away by this horrific attack.
