Chapter 1123 Crowded Suitcase
On the passenger plane flying to France, Herb was talking in a low voice to Daisy, who was sitting next to him, discussing his son's wedding. Although the Andersons had anticipated this day and were mentally prepared for it, when the time came, they felt a little uneasy because Albert's wedding seemed different from what they had imagined.
They have never attended a wizard's wedding.
Thinking about it now, since Albert became a wizard, their family felt like they had had a long, long dream.
The plane began to land, and after a slight turbulence, it stopped smoothly on the airport runway.
Herb, his wife, parents and daughter followed the crowd off the plane, and a group of people dragged their small suitcases towards the security entrance.
I remember that they used to go to King’s Cross Station to pick Albert up, but now it’s Albert who picks them up.
time flies!
Herb raised his head and looked around, trying to find that familiar figure in the crowd. However, there were so many people around that Albert could not be found at all.
It wasn’t until everyone was far away from the security gate that they finally saw that familiar figure in the crowd waving and smiling at them.
Nia put down her suitcase, walked forward quickly, spread her hands and gave Albert a warm hug.
“Why are you alone?” Daisy asked in confusion after stepping forward to give her son a hug.
"It's more convenient for me to be alone." When Albert gave Herb a last hug, he said to everyone with a smile, "Come with me. Europe is not peaceful recently, and this is not a good place to talk."
“Where are we going, the hotel?” Nia asked in confusion.
"No, it's not safe there. I'll take you to the safe house." Albert showed some apology and motioned for everyone to follow him.
Everyone looked at each other and followed Albert silently. They didn't have any opinions on where to live.
After walking to a deserted place, Albert put the suitcase on the ground, opened it and motioned for them to enter the suitcase.
Nia walked into the suitcase first, and the others also walked into the suitcase. This was not the first time they entered the suitcase and were apparated.
It’s faster and safer that way.
Almost in the blink of an eye, everyone saw the safe house that Albert mentioned.
Herb looked at the very old villa in front of him, turned to Albert and said, "It looks abandoned for a long time."
“We live in boxes.” Nia reminded, it was the same way last time we went to the Quidditch World Cup.
“This is the safe house. Only the secret keeper tells the secret, otherwise no one can find it.” Albert explained to several people.
“That note just now…”
"That was written by the secret keeper, indicating that he is willing to tell you the secret." Albert pushed away the house, turned around and explained, "This is the most reliable protection magic at present."
“The most reliable protective magic?” Herb muttered.
"Yes, it's very reliable. The disadvantage is that after casting the Loyalty Curse, it is equivalent to the place being completely erased from reality." Albert changed the expression to something everyone can understand, "Only by getting the safekeeping key, which means keeping it secret Only with people’s permission can we know the existence of this place and enter here.”
“In other words, if you want to enter here, you need to find the secret keeper?”
"right."
“What if two secret keepers keep secrets from each other?” Nia suddenly asked.
"Then no one can find them." Albert said with a smile, "Of course, this place is already semi-abandoned, and we only need to use the protective magic here."
As he spoke, Albert opened the suitcase on the ground and made a gesture of invitation.
They all got into the suitcase, and the environment inside was quite good.
In the afternoon, Isobel also came over and stayed with Albert’s family all afternoon, chatting about the current situation of the British wizarding world and mentioning some things that should be paid special attention to.
“In other words, the devil named the mysterious man has been resurrected?” It was really difficult for Herb to understand that the wizard could actually resurrect the dead.
Luke, however, quickly accepted this. He had also lived in the magical world and knew about the mysterious man.
“The British wizarding community is at war, so we decided to set the location in France.”
“War?”
“Do you really not need our help with the wedding?” Herb asked Albert while enjoying the after-dinner fruit.
Herb and Daisy were both embarrassed to give their son's wedding to Mrs. McDougal.
"You don't need to worry about the wedding, I will take care of it." Albert read the two people's thoughts and comforted them.
“After getting married, do you plan to return to the UK?”
“Well, go back.”
“Is your new home ready?”
"Ready, protected by the Loyalty Charm, very safe." Albert said.
"Actually, you are still young and there is no need to risk your promising future." Daisy was silent for a moment and suddenly said, "I still think you should leave the UK temporarily and leave Europe to find a safe place to live temporarily and wait for the war here. Go back after it’s over?”
"We are safe in England." Albert comforted, "and your son is actually very powerful."
"Okay, Albert has grown up. He has his own ideas. We should not interfere with his decision." Herb stopped Daisy who wanted to say something more, patted Albert on the shoulder and said: "Just do whatever you want, but you have to remember that after you get married, you are no longer alone."
…
The next day, Albert secretly returned to England and took Katrina and Mrs. MacDougal to France. The suitcase suddenly became crowded, and Albert had never thought that so many people would live here.
Fortunately, he has asked the house elves to temporarily vacate the laboratory and temporarily converted most of the rooms into guest rooms, which can barely accommodate everyone.
After the parents on both sides met, a magical thing happened. They were all surprised to find that they knew nothing about Albert and Isobel’s wedding, and they didn’t even know who was helping to prepare the wedding.
Meanwhile, Mr. Mogg came and told them about the wedding, and brought Nia and Katrina's dresses.
“Thank you, Mogg.” Mrs. McDougal said with a complicated expression.
"You're welcome. Actually, I really wanted to be their witness, but it's a pity that I didn't take the chance." Mogg changed the topic with a smile.
"Is the wedding ready?" Herb hesitated for a moment and asked, "What about the cost..."
"Yes, it's ready. As for the cost, Albert has already paid for it. In fact, it doesn't cost much. Many of Albert's old friends took the initiative to celebrate." Moger said with a smile: "The biggest problem at the moment is actually Screen the guests to prevent strange people from sneaking into the wedding and causing trouble."
“There is no problem in this regard.” Albert said, “I have been ready for it a long time ago.”
“Then you take them to the manor tomorrow to see if there are any other problems.”
Mogg came and left very quickly, which made the Anderson family a little confused, but they all could see that Mr. Mogg had a close relationship with Albert, and it was definitely not just what Mrs. McDoug said. Relatives, otherwise Albert would not have been entrusted with the important task of handling the wedding.
Over the years, Albert’s changes have also made them feel a little strange.
In fact, both Mrs. McDougal and the Anderson family had the illusion that they were actually attending a wedding.
Over the next few days, Albert also became busy. He first posted false information on the silver card and quietly visited Scrimgeour to discuss a plan to ambush the Death Eaters.
During Albert's stay in France, some changes also occurred in the British wizarding world. Perhaps stimulated by the Bones murder incident, most British wizards were biased towards Scrimgeour, hoping that this hard-line Auror The office manager can lead everyone through difficult times.
Scrimgeour is also very concerned about this action. He intends to use this opportunity to completely establish his position and consolidate people's confidence in the Ministry of Magic.
While Albert was busy with the wedding, the Andersons and Mrs. McDougal in the safe house actually reached a proposal that Isobel should have a child as soon as possible.
Nia and Katrina are discussing beauty potions. They believe that Muggle and wizard beauty methods should be combined to develop a way to better maintain their appearance and figure.
“Albert went out again?” Daisy looked at Isobel who was sitting down with an iced watermelon and asked tentatively.
“He said he was going back to England to deal with the wedding.” Isobel did not deny this.
"Albert has been a very independent child from a long time ago, and he has made us worry a lot, but the decisions he makes are usually not easily changed." Daisy grabbed Isobel's hand and said softly, "I I hope you can help us keep an eye on him and don’t let him do those risky things.”
“I will,” said Isobel.
“After you get married, you can go to Hawaii for a vacation first.” Herb suggested.
“I’m afraid not.” Isobel explained, “The Flamel couple’s time is running out, and given Albert’s character, it is very likely that he will stay and accompany them through the last journey of their lives.”
"As long as I don't go back to England, I think there's no problem." Daisy and Mrs. McDougal exchanged glances and continued, "There's one more thing. I hope you won't be angry. We all hope you can have a child as soon as possible."
"Albert has discussed this matter with me." Isobel gradually lowered her voice, "We will not go out of our way to..."
