When Albert woke up at noon the next day, the seat next to the bed was already empty. He got up from the bed, got dressed and went downstairs, where he saw Isobel sitting in the dining room, clutching today's newspaper.
, don’t know what you are looking at?
Albert stepped forward, put his arm around her shoulders from behind, and his eyes fell on the newspaper, "You don't look happy."
"Look at this..." Isobel handed the "Daily Prophet" to Albert. The headline on it was: "Horrifying Scenes at the Quidditch World Cup", with the Dark Mark hanging on the treetops.
Flash black and white photo.
"It seems that some bad things did happen in the World Cup." Although Albert said this, he actually didn't pay much attention to it because he had already expected the chaos of the World Cup.
"What happened?"
Albert felt that this incident should not cause Isobel to have such a reaction, after all, he had already known about it in advance.
"This morning, my mother went over very early to help. Our tent was not burned down, but..." Isobel's words seemed to contain a hint of uneasiness: "Someone entered the tent after we left."
"Stranger?" Albert couldn't help but narrowed his eyes.
"When Bit was recycling the tent, he used the Appearance Spell in the tent and found the footprints of two strangers."
Isobel knew exactly what this meant.
In that kind of chaos, no one would run into their tent at all, and as long as you think about why Albert did what he did, you can guess that the person who broke into their tent obviously had bad intentions.
Who wants to do something to them, this is what Isobel is worried about, and those people are probably coming for Albert. As for who it is, it is not difficult for Isobel to guess, after all, some pure
It had not been a day or two since the blood wizard had disliked Albert, although no conflict broke out between the two parties.
"Don't worry, I am a master of divination. I will find out those people and arrange a big gift for them. What you need is to protect yourself and don't let me worry." Albert comforted softly, glancing at the mission.
Panel, there are new tasks.
Having said that, going to watch the Quidditch World Cup this time was really fruitful.
"Ahem!" Katrina coughed lightly, walked in, and randomly picked a topic to ask: "Where's mom? I remember she should be on vacation today!"
"Last night, there was an accident at the camp, and many people were injured." Isobel handed the newspaper to Katrina without telling her about the footprints.
"The Dark Mark?" Katrina looked at Albert with a strange expression, "I suddenly understand why you think that magazine will be a hot seller."
"I have to take Nia back today." Albert handed a small bottle to Isobel.
"This is?" Katrina stared at the bottle curiously.
"Elixir of Fortune." Isobel said.
"Is this the Lucky Potion?" Katrina has naturally heard of the name of the Lucky Potion.
Albert took out another silver pocket watch and handed it to Isobel, "Don't take risks. If you encounter danger, leave temporarily."
Your own safety is the most important thing.”
Katrina felt that Albert was really a bit neurotic, but she also envied Albert's meticulous care of Isobel.
At this moment, a white owl flew in from the window and threw a letter in front of Albert. Albert picked up the letter, glanced at the sender, and found that it was from Hermione.
Albert stuffed the envelope into his pocket, not intending to read it immediately.
"Don't you read what's written in the letter?" Katrina looked away from the "danger" pointer on her pocket watch and looked at Albert again, "A letter from a certain girl."
"A friend." Albert corrected, "Okay, go get the others up for dinner, and let Catherine and Valeria arrange to return to the country as soon as possible. Britain is in chaos now."
"We're already up."
Katherine and Valeria walked into the kitchen yawning, and Nia also got up, looking like she hadn't slept well.
The six of them sat around the dining table, chatting about what happened last night while eating. Katherine and Valeria realized that the situation in Britain was chaotic through the newspapers, and they became more convinced that Albert really had the ability to predict.
Another owl flew in from the window. Albert looked at the sender and saw that it was a twin brother.
Then, the owls got out of hand, and one after another they came in and out of the room. There were letters from Sirius, letters from Bud, letters from Lee Jordan, letters from Harry Potter, and even a letter from Grandpa Luke.
letter, anyway, many people are sending him letters.
"You are so popular!" Catherine said with a strange expression.
"He is indeed very popular." Nia muttered, "When are we going home? Grandpa Luke may have seen today's report. If we don't go back as soon as possible, they will probably be very worried."
"Grandpa Luke has asked Sheila to send us a letter." Albert pointed to the owl resting by the window, "After lunch, we will go back. You should also pay attention to your own safety. From today on, the UK
The magical world is no longer as peaceful as it used to be."
After lunch, Albert left. Nia was also sent back in a suitcase by the house elf Bit.
Luke and Sansa were very surprised when Albert and Nia suddenly appeared from the room, but they were relieved when they thought that it was a magical method.
"I saw the report in the Daily Prophet this morning." Luke still knows something about the mysterious people and knows that they are all evil guys.
"Albert took us out of the camp before the chaos happened last night." Nia sat next to Luke and showed them the souvenirs she bought at the World Cup.
"That's right, Albert has always been very reassuring." Luke looked at the Firebolt model and nodded. Albert never needed them to worry.
While Nia was combing Tom's hair, she was chatting with Luke and Sansa about their experiences at the Quidditch World Cup.
While opening the letter he had just received, Albert listened to their conversation and occasionally chimed in.
Fred and George mentioned in the letter that they had been deceived. Although they saw through Bagman's attempt to pay back the money with Leprechaun gold coins, they were still deceived by Bagman and gave them the bag of galleons that bastard gave them.
It was mixed with a large number of replicas of galleons, and there were not many real gold coins in it. From the writing on the parchment, it was easy to see that Fred and George were furious.
The content of Lee Jordan's letter is similar, but they obviously haven't found anything wrong with the gold coins yet.
Grandpa Luke's letter was very simple, just asking them when they would come home.
Mr. Bader was worried about Albert's safety. He also mentioned the chaos last night and was a little worried about whether the turmoil predicted by Albert was coming.
Sirius mentioned newspapers and periodicals in his letter. Because of the Dark Mark last night, someone had already asked them about the "Defense Guide" magazine. He also mentioned that they had solved the printing problem in the past two days and strived to start selling the "Defense Guide" next month.
"Phase one.
It was Hermione's letter that surprised Albert. The content of the letter was about the unfair treatment of house elves. It also mentioned Barty Crouch's dismissal of the house elves last night. It was clear between the lines.
With anger, Hermione seemed to hope to get some support and comfort from Albert, because others did not care or even ignored this matter.
In the letter, Harry mentioned the loss of his wand and the fact that someone used his wand to release the Dark Mark, and suspected that the person might be the man who appeared in Peter's prophecy.
Albert took some time to write a reply, especially Hermione's letter. He did not try to persuade Hermione, he just told her about the current situation of house elves and suggested that Hermione try to write a book about the harmonious coexistence between wizards and house elves.
The story will gradually guide wizards to treat house elves correctly and treat them as loyal and reliable family members, thereby improving the poor situation of house elves.
Everything needs to be flexible, and after Hermione finishes writing, the story can be serialized in a magazine. This is much more useful than the "vomit" that Hermione later formed, and it can also help Sirius solve the problem of magazine content.
Kill several birds with one stone.
"As expected of me!" After checking the contents of the letter, Albert nodded with satisfaction. Moreover, what surprised him was that an additional panel task was triggered. Although the reward was not much, being able to trigger the task was
A surprise.
…
"Why can't there be a normal dress?"
Ron was in a very bad mood, especially after seeing his dress, he almost went crazy with anger.
After coming back from watching the World Cup, he felt that everything was not going as he wanted. First, Fred and George discovered that the gold coins given by Ludo Bagman were fake, and his 27 Galleons were immediately wasted. If it weren't for Fred and George
George still had some conscience, so he returned the few real galleons he had in his wallet to him, even if he lost all his savings.
But the gap in his heart was still too much for him to bear. Otherwise, he could have ordered a new dress in Diagon Alley instead of being angry here.
Blame Fred and George?
No, they are the biggest victims. The real galleons in their wallets cannot make up for their losses.
Percy's face also looked ugly because his Galleons disappeared.
Yes, Bagman used leprechaun gold coins to pay for his gambling winnings.
Now, the Weasley family all know what kind of person Ludo Bagman is, but after internal discussions, they have no intention of telling their parents about it because it will only embarrass Mr. Weasley.
Of course, maybe their father knew about it and tried to stop them from betting.
"You can buy a new one. Didn't you win a lot of money gambling?" Hermione also thought Ron's dress was a bit 'fancy'.
"You won a lot of money gambling?" Ron couldn't help laughing, which made Harry and Hermione feel uneasy.
"Harry, Hermione, Fred, I have your letters." Mrs. Weasley called from downstairs.
"Who sent it?" Harry asked.
Fred said: "Albert."
"What did he say?" Ron asked anxiously.
"There's nothing he can do." After reading the letter, Fred said gloomily, "He already reminded me that it's our problem. Now I have to write a letter to Lee Jordan."
"And Sirius." George reminded.
"Harry, have you also written to Albert?" Ron turned around and asked.
"Well, about the Dark Mark." Harry said, "Sirius asked me to write to him."
"What did Albert say?" Hermione asked.
"He said that I bring myself into trouble every year." Harry curled his lips and said, "He thought that the mysterious man's conspiracy might be against me, and asked me to talk to Sirius and Dumbledore about it myself."
"You do have trouble every year." Even Ron had to admit that there was some truth in what Albert said.
Harry has gotten into trouble every year since he entered school.
"It's not my fault." Harry said a little annoyed, as if he liked to cause trouble everywhere.
"We know it's not your fault." Ron changed the topic and asked, "Hermione, what did you say in your letter?"
"Albert suggested that I submit an article to Sirius's magazine." Hermione put away the letter and thought about the feasibility of Albert's suggestion.
The letter was short, without any comfort. It just told her the current situation and some small suggestions.
It kind of provided her with an idea.
It is impossible to change the status quo in a short period of time. It is not difficult to see this from the attitude of wizards towards house elves. She even had an unpleasant quarrel with Percy over this.
After reading Albert's reply, Hermione breathed a sigh of relief.
To be honest, Hermione was really afraid that Albert would be like other wizards.
That night, Hermione even felt that she was the abnormal one, and that feeling made her feel restless.
"Let wizards realize that house elves are loyal and reliable members of the family, so that they can subconsciously treat those house elves well?" Hermione read the content in her mind repeatedly. The house elf she saw in Albert's place,
He really belongs to two different worlds from the elf named Shining.
"What happened to the letter?" Ginny asked confusedly when she saw Hermione staring at the letter.
"Albert's letter, I talked to him about house elves." Hermione explained.
"House elf?" Ginny was a little confused.
"There is a house elf serving him." Hermione said to Ginny, "That house elf is not like other house elves, and Albert is also very good to house elves, unlike other wizards.
You were not there at the time and have never seen how other wizards treated Winky."
"He is special, isn't he?" Ginny said. "Otherwise, Anderson wouldn't be admired and loved by so many girls."
"Yes." Hermione said softly, "He is special."
"You like him?" Ginny asked.
"He's engaged," Hermione said suddenly.
"Engaged?" Ginny was very surprised, "To the Ravenclaw one?"
"Don't tell anyone," Hermione warned.
"Yeah." Ginny was silent.
"What about you?" Hermione asked, changing the subject.
"I?"
"Still like Harry?" Hermione asked.
Ginny was silent.
"Maybe, you should try to give up on Harry." Hermione suggested, "try to get along with others, try to show your charm to everyone, maybe Harry will notice you."
