Chapter 1433 Inside the fortress
Dong dong dong!
Suddenly there was a rapid knock on the door.
"what happened?"
In the dark dormitory, Isobel, who was embracing each other with the lingering lingering passion, asked in a low voice. It was undoubtedly not a pleasant thing to be disturbed while being intimate.
“Something must have happened.”
Albert kissed his wife's forehead gently, pushed aside the sheets and sat up. He reached into the darkness and the cloak flew out of the hanger on the wall and was draped around him casually. Albert picked up the wand next to the bedside table and walked to the door, reaching out to twist the door handle.
No one is outside.
His eyes moved down and fell on the metal bookmark on the floor.
"What's up?"
Isobel's slightly uneasy voice came from behind. Ever since they lived on this ship, they had never encountered an emergency like today.
“A famous association member suddenly disappeared.”
Albert picked up the communication bookmark and glanced at the content on the bookmark. His tone was particularly calm, as if someone's disappearance was just a trivial matter.
“Missing, is he a traitor?”
Isobel was very surprised. She knew very well how much Albert had paid for the Defense Association.
“No, he was probably tricked by his father.”
Albert sighed softly, handed the communication bookmark to Isobel who stretched out his hand from the quilt, and then waved the magic wand to summon the atlas out of thin air. He planned to directly locate the approximate location of Kevin Thompson through tracking magic.
It only took a few minutes for Albert to find Kevin Thompson’s name on the map, but the location was not very good.
“He was tricked by his father?”
Isobel suddenly fell silent after reading the content on the communication bookmark.
"He was tricked by his father. Alas, there is no hope. He probably went out to look for someone, but was caught by the Death Eaters. Now he has been taken to the mysterious man's lair." Albert picked up the communication bookmark, Sending this message to George on the other side, I hope they can sleep peacefully.
“Are you going over there?”
Isobel put her arms around Albert's neck and asked.
“If you don’t go, it won’t matter if you go. Let’s continue to sleep and go there tomorrow to appease their emotions.”
Albert had already taken off his cloak, put his arms around Isobel and lay back on the bed.
This matter cannot be blamed on Albert's cold-bloodedness, because he really had no way, not even using a time turner, to convince Kevin to give up his father.
Unless he deliberately used magic to knock Kevin down, forcefully tied him back, and then brought hatred onto himself?
But Albert never thought of himself as a good person who sacrificed himself for others.
So, he would never do such a stupid thing.
“You seem to be very depressed.” Isobel asked suddenly.
“I actually reminded them, but many things cannot be changed by so-called prophecies.” Albert laughed at himself, “However, there is nothing that can be done about it. Prophecies themselves are hard to believe.”
He just hopes that the tragic experience of the Thompson family can serve as a reminder to others and stop them from doing stupid things.
As Albert expected, things didn’t end well for Kevin Thompson.
When he finally found his father, he was stabbed in the back by Mr. Thompson who was controlled by the Imperius Curse.
However, there is no regret medicine in this world.
Even when Kevin used his brain and tried to use all the secrets he knew in exchange for his and his father's lives, he still couldn't get Voldemort's approval because the guy didn't believe every word they said from the beginning. Instead, he plans to directly use Legilimency to read through Kevin's memories.
Legilimency that is too strong may directly turn that Kevin into a big fool.
However, Voldemort didn't care about the life and death of the Thompsons and his son. Before Kevin was completely disabled, he finally found the secret he wanted to know.
The headquarters of the Defense Association is in an abandoned village…
Then, it was gone.
Voldemort had to strengthen the power of Legilimency again, until Kevin completely collapsed, and he finally realized that the waste in front of him didn't even know where the association's headquarters was?
To make matters worse, other association members don’t seem to know the specific location of the headquarters, let alone where the mudblood is hiding.
That **** mudblood obviously protected his lair tightly.
and…
After noticing that Kevin was marked by a tracking spell due to betrayal, Voldemort directly dealt with the Thompsons and his son.
Voldemort was not in vain.
He already knew the secret of how Albert mysteriously disappeared from the Ministry of Magic, and also knew how the guy appeared in Hogwarts.
House elf.
That was the little thing that he ignored.
"Master, according to Kevin Thompson's memory, as long as we eliminate them one by one, it shouldn't take too long. After all, Britain is so big and there are not many completely abandoned villages." Yaxley never forgot to show his value.
The next day, as soon as Albert arrived at the headquarters of the Defense Association, he was surrounded by members of the association.
"Quiet!"
He had to yell loudly to get everyone to completely quiet down.
Then Yushanna told him the whole story.
The main reason is that last night, Albert's precautionary measures to stay at the headquarters were triggered, which meant that someone betrayed them.
After some investigation, they discovered that Kevin Thompson was missing, and his father, Mr. Thompson, also suddenly disappeared.
No one knows what is going on in their heads.
"I thought you would be very angry about Kevin's betrayal." Shanna was a little surprised by Albert's calmness, as if Kevin was just an insignificant guy.
"Why are you angry?" Albert looked around at the people present and said softly, "Kevin Thompson just wants to save his family, that's all."
“Save his family?”
“However, Kevin failed and got involved with himself and even us.”
“That was his choice and we have no right to interfere with him doing that.”
“But...that guy betrayed us.”
"Alas." Albert raised his hand and said, "You actually don't need to be angry, because the fate of the Thompson family will probably not be good.
“If they seek refuge with the mysterious man in order to survive, our position may be exposed.” Cedric thought of Albert’s prophecy.
"The mysterious man is not as kind as you think, especially in this situation." Albert shook his head and said, "Even if he wants to know something, he will make Legilimency read it through his head, even if they still I'm afraid you will have to stay in St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Scars to see them again in your lifetime."
People looked at each other, feeling angry and helpless at what happened to their companions. They couldn't understand that this was the reason for the association's first reduction in members.
