Chapter 1266 Like a conspirator
No one is willing to pay, and everyone wants to let others die first, but how can there be such a good thing in the world?
Of course Albert knew very well that these were the weaknesses of human nature, so he never laughed at them, but felt a little emotional and was glad that he did not have to be one of them.
He never thought that the case of Caredi Bubbaji could arouse the vigilance of other Muggle wizards in the wizarding world, and he didn't think that the twins' radio station could make everyone stay vigilant. Usually, a crisis would only occur when death is imminent. Only by feeling can they truly see the truth clearly.
Even if it were him, it would be the same. People always like to hold on to the last bit of luck, and there is nothing they can do about it.
However, Albert believed that Kingsley could solve the problem after it happened.
As long as the members of the Order of the Phoenix are not too stubborn, after the Ministry of Magic completely collapses and is controlled by Voldemort, they should wake up and know what they should do.
At least Sirius will remind everyone that it’s time to move closer to Albert.
Perhaps because he successfully survived the death disaster, Sirius Black has indeed changed a lot, otherwise it would be really difficult for Fred and George alone to deal with it. If the Order of the Phoenix was allowed to mess around, they would all have to die.
Today's magical world has become more dangerous because of Albert's relationship.
“The due date should be within the next few days, right?”
Katrina reached for the Prophet newspaper that Albert had put down and asked, "Are you ready?"
“Well, the due date is in five days.”
Albert looked at Isobel tenderly, reached out and put his white palm against his face, and softly comforted, "Don't worry, everything is ready, and I have communicated with her in advance about the therapist. Yes, she has been specially making time for you in the past few days."
“Where’s my sister?” Katrina asked without raising her head.
"My mother has told me all the things that need to be paid attention to. Everything that needs to be prepared has been prepared and checked several times." Isobel was not nervous. They already knew it through Albert's prophecy. everything.
“Won’t you find it boring to live a life where everything is known through prophecies?” Katrina absentmindedly flipped through the newspapers sent from England.
"I think it's okay, especially at critical moments, it's more important to make yourself feel at ease." Albert didn't think there was anything wrong with it. He knew this would happen after mastering crystal ball divination. Besides, how to live his life in the future? It's not all up to them to decide.
“Mom has actually been worried about your safety.” Katrina suddenly changed the topic, “Is the British Ministry of Magic going to collapse? Why are there so many random accidents everywhere?”
"It is indeed more comfortable here, there are not so many troubles." Albert glanced at Katrina. He didn't like to talk about these things in front of Isobel, so as not to affect her mood.
“After the child is born, we will see whether to continue living here or go back to life on the boat. We don’t have to rush back to the UK. The environment there is very depressing.”
"And you?"
Isobel didn't care about this kind of thing, although she really didn't want to go back to England, but as long as Albert was with her, it was enough.
“Then let’s go back to life on the ship. It’s safer on the sea ship. We can also travel to other countries by ship.” Albert said without thinking.
“Around the world by boat?”
Katrina looked away from the explosion in the newspaper.
"I'm afraid it won't be possible to travel around the world in the near future. I have to keep an eye on the UK. After all, many friends are staying in the UK." Albert raised his head from Isobel's belly: "However, traveling around the world by boat is a good idea. It’s a good idea, we can try it after the war is over, it shouldn’t take long.”
Isobel rested her head gently on Albert's shoulder, grabbed his hand and put it on her stomach, whispering softly, "Don't worry, we will have plenty of time in the future."
“Are you sleepy?” Albert asked.
“Well, I’m a little sleepy.”
Isobel actually doesn’t like this kind of lazy life. She feels that her brain is no longer working as well as before.
“I’ll help you go back to rest.”
When Katrina helped Isobel go back to her room to rest, she comforted her in a low voice, "Just bear with it for a few more days, and everything will be fine after Alice is born."
Albert looked at the two sisters leaving, took the newspaper again, and continued reading the unfinished article.
Then, he took out his notebook and began to revise the plan above.
The Wizarding War, which was downplayed in the novel, was more tragic than expected.
It is no longer a trivial matter that Britain's major cities are enveloped in thick cold fog.
Explosions, plane crashes, and train derailments were all caused by Death Eaters.
Not only that, Death Eaters also massacred innocent people without restraint, and there were terrible incidents of massacres in remote villages across the UK.
In fact, they not only slaughtered Muggles, but also used dark magic to transform a large number of corpses into inferi, which were used to cause trouble for the Ministry of Magic.
In fact, the Ministry of Magic no longer deliberately hides certain incidents that are not particularly important, and the handling of certain things has become very rough. Anyone who is not a fool can see the problem. People are angry to find that the British government actually treats Indifferent to what is happening right under his nose.
Seeing that the wizarding world may be exposed to Muggles at any time, the Ministry of Magic in other European countries has no plans to send Aurors to the UK again to help.
Dumbledore is dead. Anyone with any brains will know that if they send Aurors there, there will probably be a **** fight with the Death Eaters.
No country’s Ministry of Magic would be so generous, and no one would be willing to play such a fool.
No matter how much the American Ministry of Magic condemns it, European countries are indifferent.
If you were really worried about the magic world being exposed, you would have sent Aurors to help long ago. How could you be quarreling with other countries?
As for exposure, let’s wait until it is exposed.
“Mom agreed.”
Katrina sat on the sofa opposite Albert again, looked at Albert who was reading the Paris Daily News, and suddenly said: "But she said she would wait until the war is over."
“Oh, you actually convinced her.” Albert suddenly raised his head and looked at Katrina, his tone filled with unconcealable surprise.
"Well, it should be over within the next year or two." Albert looked up at Katrina and couldn't help but ask, "I'm curious how you convinced her."
Katrina did not answer the question, lowered her eyes and continued to ask, "I heard that the first wizarding war lasted for a long time."
"Because Dumbledore was still alive at that time, and now he is dead, there are only two endings, win or lose, and the mysterious man will no longer be patient." Albert closed the note and said. "When he takes complete control of the Ministry of Magic, he will do even more outrageous things."
"Does the mysterious man have no brains? He is so unscrupulous. Aren't he worried about causing public outrage?" Katrina picked up another newspaper and said: "Those Muggles have been wary for a long time, and the International Federation of Wizards has definitely I won’t let the mysterious man completely expose the existence of the magical world to Muggles.”
"It's no good if you think too much. Who would want to make a mess?" Albert found that Katrina was still a bit naive, and Isobel would never believe such things easily.
“It really sounds like something you would say.”
"The International Federation of Wizards is just a tool used by certain interest groups to consolidate their status and interests. Maybe it can be useful in some small things, but in big things, you can't expect the International Federation of Wizards to be able to It comes in handy." Albert knew very well what the International Federation of Wizards was.
After all, there was a precedent in the previous life.
"It's like the laws of the Ministry of Magic only apply to ordinary wizards, but not to dark wizards, because the mysterious man only talks about fists and not about laws."
对不讲武德的神秘人，魔法部真就是一点办法都没有，直接被揍个满头包，不得不像其他食死徒那般趴在神秘人的脚下舔他的长袍以求保命。
As for the laws of the Ministry of Magic, it is even more of a joke. You can have as many of these things as you want.
Unless they have less martial ethics than You-Know-Who, Scrimgeour has tried to do that. Unfortunately, after Dumbledore's death, it will be useless for him to not practice martial ethics without a backer. Voldemort will no longer have any scruples, and he will definitely Find a way to kill him.
“What about you?” Katrina glanced at the notebook on the table. She had read the contents and knew what Albert planned to do next.
"Me? I just try my best to provide some trivial help to other people." Albert said humbly.
“Such words are just to deceive your supporters.”
Katrina felt that Albert must have some purpose, although she could never see what he wanted to do.
For fame?
Obviously not, Albert is already famous enough.
Position?
The social status of the Master of Prophecy is very high, and Albert also has many titles, and he is also a member of the Wizengamot.
As for getting rich?
If Albert wants to make money, he must have many ways to make money with his smart mind. Fred and George's shop is a ready-made case, not to mention, there are various signs that this guy is not short of galleons at all.
So, she never understood what Albert wanted to do, but she was sure that there must be some reason why Albert did what he did, because this guy always had a strong purpose in doing things.
“What on earth do you want to do?” Katrina looked at Albert suspiciously.
"I just want to live my own life quietly. I never thought about doing anything. After all, I don't lack anything now." Albert said calmly.
"Do you think I would believe this?" Katrina couldn't help but roll her eyes, pointed at the notebook, and couldn't help complaining, "Sometimes I can't help but suspect that you are the cause of British magic. The main culprit of chaos in the world.”
"Fighting the mysterious man is just because he wants to kill me. You can't let me accept my fate and let him kill me." Albert will not accept such accusations. The culprit who caused the chaos in the Ministry of Magic is clearly Voldemort. How can you slander him casually?
“Then why did you set up a defense association?”
“Someone has to stand up to him.”
“So you stood up?”
"There is always someone who needs to take the lead and give everyone direction, and those people are my friends and people who are willing to believe in me. I need to lead them through this wizarding war alive as much as possible." Albert explained, "This You need to be careful at everything, that’s why you think I’m like a conspirator.”
“I remember you said you didn’t want to be a good person.” Katrina never thought Albert was a good person.
"Good people are usually short-lived." Albert nodded and said, "Besides, being a good person will be restricted by others and make your life uncomfortable. I just need to ensure that I don't become a bad person."
"Well, I can't tell you." Katrina didn't bother to argue anymore and asked curiously, "Is there really no one in the huge magic world who stands up to fight against the mysterious man?"
"Yes, but very few. Most people don't have that courage." Albert said softly.
"Because you are afraid that you will become the next missing person, that your child will be attacked next?" Katrina naturally knew the reason. Voldemort and the Death Eaters' reign of terror had a very good effect, scaring the wizards in the magical world. Trembling, there are very few wizards as hard-headed as Scrimgeour.
It’s no wonder that Albert is willing to cooperate with him.
"Yes. Everyone is actually counting on others to stand up. They need a hero, a savior." Albert's tone was very cold, and he obviously looked down on those people. "Scrimgeour did a good job before, but now there are a lot of people complaining."
“Then why don’t you help him?”
"I have helped him, otherwise how do you think the Ministry of Magic could have achieved those results before." Albert bent down and picked up Tom, scratching his chin and said, "But Scrimgeour was restricted, and his He’s not strong enough either, and he won’t be able to survive long after losing his asylum.”
“Are you going to watch him die?”
"That was Scrimgeour's own choice. He could have survived, but he chose to die." Albert was very calm when talking about this matter. "To be honest, the British wizarding community does not deserve to have someone who has worked hard for them." Scrimgeour, like they didn't deserve Dumbledore."
Katrina smelled the deep contempt in Albert's tone. She actually didn't quite understand why Albert hated the British wizarding world so much.
"how about you?"
“I just try to help everyone as much as possible and guide them to stand up against the mysterious man.”
“What if they don’t want to?”
"Then keep lying down until this war is over, if they can bear the Death Eaters and other dark wizards climbing on top of them and tyrannizing over them."
"You seem to be happy to see them suffer misfortune." Katrina raised her eyebrows slightly.
"Are you happy? No, I'm just telling the facts. Some things will not change whether I like them or not. The only ones who can change them are themselves."
Happy New Year
