Chapter 1114: He’s so insidious
“Damn Mudblood, can’t you get a normal invitation?”
Lucius Malfoy looked at the silver card in his hand carefully, but still didn't understand what it was used for. Although Severus said that the mudblood's wedding date and place would appear on the silver card, he was still confused.
Fortunately, Lucius invited Severus, an old friend, to have dinner at home, and see if he could get more useful information from his old friend. Otherwise, he would not know how to make the next plan.
“Severus is here.”
Narcissa knocked on the study door and reminded her loudly.
"Oh, great."
Lucius picked up the silver card and walked towards the living room.
"Polypotion, for about ten people, these are all I have left." Snape placed a bottle of slowly bubbling viscous potion in front of Lucius.
“If you need more, I’m afraid you’ll have to wait a while.”
“Thank you, it’s really helpful.” Lucius said gratefully.
"You're welcome."
As soon as Snape finished speaking, he heard footsteps outside the corridor.
The door to the living room was pushed open, and Mr. and Mrs. Rodolphus walked in. They looked at Snape on the dining table, obviously a little surprised.
"Lucius, I think our plan is best done as soon as possible." Bella ignored Snape and said to Malfoy, "I have already visited the McDougal house. She has not lived there for a long time."
“So, you’re going to burn down her house?” Snape’s lips curved into a sarcastic smile.
"Who told you?" Bella narrowed her eyes and guessed, "That idiot Avery?"
"Avery is right. If you burn somewhere, it will only arouse their vigilance." Lucius frowned and reminded them, "That is undoubtedly a direct reminder to them that I am eyeing you, hurry up and hide." stand up."
"So what?" Bella said disdainfully, "They can only hide like mice shivering."
“Shivering,” Snape repeated softly.
"What's so funny." Bella looked at Snape angrily.
"That's enough Bella, anger can't solve anything." Lucius said in a stern voice, and then looked at Rodolphus.
"Snape obviously knows the enemy better than we do. Maybe we should listen to his advice." Rodolphus held his wife's shoulders, looked at Snape, then looked at Lucius, and said softly, "You are better than before." More cautious.”
The word "cautious" was said very strongly, as if mocking Lucius's timidity.
"Which of you can challenge the entire Auror Office?" Snape suddenly asked.
"What's the meaning."
"Umbridge originally found forty Aurors, but he knocked them down and hung them on the wall." Snape looked around the two of them and reminded, "Even though those forty Aurors are useless, but That's over forty Aurors too."
Everyone in the living room was silent.
"Your enemy is an international dueling champion, not an employee of the Ministry of Magic who can't even use the Iron Armor Charm." Snape glanced at Bella and said softly, "Besides, you burned down the McDougal house, you Will the family be spared?”
“What do you mean?” Rodolphus asked with a frown.
"It means that if you set fire to McDougall's house, Anderson will set fire to your house that day. Don't doubt whether he will do that, and don't doubt whether he can find the location of your house and target a person." For a fortune teller, finding things is never difficult.”
"I very much doubt that Scrimgeour was able to lead the Auror to find the Dark Lord because it was Anderson's fault." Snape said softly, "The failure of your plan to seize the Prophecy Ball was probably related to him, and you actually despised this. A dangerous guy?"
“What is your proposal?” Lucius asked.
"Kill the person to death in one go and don't give him any chance." Snape said seriously, "Besides, his wedding is your only chance. It's best not to do anything unnecessary before that."
"You don't think we should go to St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Magical Maladies to catch that woman McDougal?" Bella asked with a slightly raised eyebrow.
"That guy is a very powerful master of prophecy. I doubt that you will be ambushed by an Auror as soon as you step into St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Injuries and Maladies." Snape knew very well how dangerous it was to **** off Albert Anderson. But I haven’t forgotten how Peter Pettigrew died, and I don’t think Umbridge was put into Azkaban by Harry.
Just because Anderson didn’t kill with his own hands, it doesn’t mean that others don’t kill.
"If other people know about this, they will definitely become a laughing stock." Bella said with a hint of contempt in her tone.
"Bella, you have never dealt with him, and you don't understand how powerful that guy is. Just like Severus said, if you despise him because of his status as a mud farmer, you will definitely suffer a big loss." Lucius said softly. Said: "And I have suffered losses more than once, so I learned to be cautious, which helped me escape the last prison sentence."
If possible, Lucius Malfoy didn't want to deal with Albert at all. Just as Snape said, if he couldn't kill him in one go, he would undoubtedly have provoked a big enemy for himself, and even worse. The thing is that the other party is a master of prophecy and can predict dangers. It is unwise to provoke such a guy. The last time the Dark Lord took action himself, he failed to kill him.
"If you insist on arresting people at St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Maladies, I will help. Before that, I have some things to talk to Severus." Lucius glared at Bella and told her to shut up.
Mr. and Mrs. Rodolphus left in a rage.
Lucius looked at the two people leaving, shook his head, took out the silver card and asked Snape, "Severus, how much do you know about this thing?"
"This is the invitation sent by Anderson. I know what you want to ask." Snape reached out and took the silver card and said, "Actually, I don't know much."
“According to the invited guests, the date and place will appear on it close to the wedding.” Snape handed the silver card to Lucius.
"that's it?"
"Yes, that's all," Snape explained. "I think Anderson has considered the possibility of those cards being obtained by someone else."
“How likely do you think we are to be ambushed when we go to St. Mungo’s Hospital for Magical Maladies and Maladies?” Lucius asked with a slight sigh as he put away the silver card.
“I don’t know, but you’d better be prepared.”
"Thank you Severus." Lucius reached out and patted Snape on the shoulder and said, "Stay and have lunch before leaving."
Snape did not refuse.
However, the meal was not a pleasant one.
"Are you sure we want to use this thing?" Bella looked at the compound potion in her hand with disgust on her face.
"St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Maladies is not a store in Diagon Alley. We must spend some time there. If you break in directly, the Aurors will arrive as soon as possible even if there is no ambush." Lucius I found an easier reason to convince Bella.
"Prophecy is not omnipotent, and do you really think that mudblood can do that?" Bella obviously didn't believe Snape's nonsense.
"Coward, no, this is caution." Lucius said dissatisfiedly, "It's always right to be cautious. We are arresting people to get useful information, not to attack St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Injuries and Maladies, let alone To fight head-on with the Aurors from the Ministry of Magic."
A few minutes later, Malfoy and the Rodolphus were acting together, with Malfoy pretending to be a patient and the Rodolphus pretending to be a family member of the patient.
They successfully entered St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Injuries and Injuries, used the Imperius Curse to control a trainee therapist, and went straight to the Magical Injuries and Injuries Department on the fifth floor.
When the three of them arrived at the office of the director of the Curse Injury and Injury Department, they found a vacation sign hanging in front of McDoug's office door.
“I reminded you.” Lucius said after a moment of silence.
“What are you doing here?” A therapist looked at the people here and asked with a frown.
"we are…"
"Where's the McDougal?" Bella had already taken out her wand and pointed it at the female therapist's neck, grabbing her hair and asking.
"Director McDougal... seems to be on leave. I heard that her daughter is getting married recently." The witch was startled by Bella's actions and said in horror, "You have something to do with her..."
Before she could finish her words, Lucius used a coma spell to knock her down, and she was put under a forgetting spell.
"I reminded you, don't make too much noise." Lucius glared at Bella fiercely, "We'd better get out of here as soon as possible."
It didn’t take long for the anomaly here to be discovered.
That night, Scrimgeour announced that he would dispatch an Auror team to station at St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Injuries and Injuries to ensure the safety of the hospital.
“I thought you would give them a big surprise.”
Isobel put down the newspaper and turned her eyes to Albert.
The Death Eaters broke into St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Injuries and Injuries, apparently to capture Mrs. MacDougal. Fortunately, they took her away first, otherwise God knows what would have happened.
“Don’t push them too hard.” Albert cut open the iced watermelon and handed one piece to Isobel. “Otherwise, they will be too cautious and they will not be easily attacked.”
“Those Aurors are actually willing to help?” Katrina was very surprised by this.
"Why refuse? This is a good opportunity for Scrimgeour." Albert cut the watermelon into pieces and put them on the plate.
“What good opportunity?”
Mrs. McDougal, who came out of the study, happened to overhear their conversation.
"Mom, look at today's newspaper. Those Death Eaters went to St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Injuries and Maladies to catch you." Isobel changed the subject.
“What good opportunity did you just talk about?” Mrs. McDougal asked, not paying attention to the news in the newspaper.
“A good opportunity to fight the Death Eaters.” Albert said softly.
“What are you going to do?” asked Mrs. MacDougal.
"I dare say the Death Eaters must have gotten the invitation." Albert took out a silver card and said lightly, "The Death Eaters are probably planning to surprise us."
“A surprise?” repeated Mrs. MacDougal softly.
“So, I plan to give them a surprise as well.” Albert waved his magic wand, and a metal book unfolded out of thin air, revealing a table-sized map of Britain with many labels marking the specific location of each invitation.
"When the Death Eaters lead people to cause trouble, the Aurors will disguise themselves as guests and wait for them at the wedding venue. Of course, Scrimgeour will also have people disguise themselves as a few of us and pretend to be married."
“Have you known this for a long time?”
Mrs. McDougal fell into a brief silence. She suddenly understood why Albert was on the blacklist of You-Know-Who and Death Eaters.
"Just in case." Albert picked up the iced watermelon and took a bite, and said calmly, "After all, I can predict the future. A long time ago, I predicted that my wedding with Isobel would not be peaceful, so , I started making preparations a long time ago. The wedding will be held abroad, in a manor protected by the Red Loyalty Curse. Even a mysterious person cannot break through the protection of the Red Loyalty Curse and break into the manor to disturb our wedding."
"Then why do you still..." Mrs. McDougal didn't understand why Albert wanted to provoke the mysterious man and the Death Eaters.
"It's not that I want to provoke them, but that they can't tolerate me." Albert shook his head and said, "Because I was born as a Muggle, and the aura on my body is so dazzling that the pure-blood wizards headed by the mysterious man hate it very much. I, want me dead. You know, many pure-blood wizards think that pure-bloods are the best, and I am an intolerable shame to them."
"Since they are unrelenting enemies, I naturally don't mind helping others kill them." Albert's tone was very relaxed, but Mrs. McDoug felt the killing intent in his tone.
In fact, he was doing just that, with the help of an Auror.
“Are you sure they will be fooled?” Katrina asked curiously.
"Will do."
"Why?"
"Because they look down on Muggle wizards, and that kind of contempt will send them to hell." Albert said softly, "Of course, it doesn't matter even if the plan fails, I won't suffer any loss anyway."
“They will definitely hate you even more.”
"So, I will hide here next." Albert took another big mouthful of watermelon and said nonchalantly, "The secret keeper here is hiding in another safe house where I am the secret keeper, so this place is absolutely It’s safe, not to mention that the mysterious man and the Death Eaters can’t find it here. In fact, except for a few of us, no one knows that we are hiding here.”
Mrs. McDougal fell into a long silence again. She found that Albert was more prepared than expected.
"What's more, Death Eaters can't defeat me at all. Although I'm a bit boastful, my strength is actually very close to Dumbledore, and most wizards are no match for me." Albert said something even more silencing In fact, "As for the mysterious man, if it is really necessary, I will definitely find Dumbledore to fight him alone."
Katrina and Isobel suddenly fell silent, because Albert did that in the last international duel competition.
“So, the International Duel Competition was not an accident?”
"Of course not." Albert reminded, "There are not so many coincidences in the world."
“Does he know, I mean does You-Know-Who know?”
"I definitely didn't know it at first, but I might have guessed it later. After all, the mysterious man doesn't need evidence at all." Albert comforted him in a very casual tone, "However, it is impossible for the mysterious man to win. The Second Wizarding War is very difficult. It will be over soon and he will be utterly defeated."
“Rely on Harry Potter.” Katrina asked with wide eyes.
“Yes, after all, Harry is the savior.”
“I suddenly feel that Harry Potter is a little pitiful.” Katrina whispered.
“You already knew?” Mrs. McDougal looked at her eldest daughter who had been eating watermelon silently.
“Yes, Albert just told the truth to make you feel at ease.” Isobel put down the watermelon and said calmly.
