"That guy is out again?"
As Katrina passed the living room with a cup of tea, she stopped and looked at Yin Zebel who was reading a baby-raising guide.
"It seems like something is wrong."
Yin Zebeier changed the subject without even looking up: "Where's Mom?"
"She seems to be fascinated by cooking recently. She is learning to cook simple food from the house elves in the kitchen." Katrina was quite helpless about this. Their mother had no talent in this area at all. She leaned against the door frame, took a sip of tea and looked at the people in the living room, and asked again: "Do you really not care about him?"
"It's useless. Besides, Albert knows how to protect himself better than anyone else." Yin Zebel gently turned the pages of the book and spoke in a very calm tone. She had expected this to be the case since she returned to England!
"I really don't understand how you can say this so calmly."
Katrina walked into the living room and sat down on the sofa opposite Yin Zebel. She put down the teacup in her hand, picked up an apple and a knife, peeled an apple for Yin Zebel, cut it neatly and placed it on a plate, and pushed it in front of Yin Zebel.
Yin Zebeier put the book upside down on the table, picked up an apple and took a bite, then asked, "Otherwise, what else can I do? Albert has his own considerations, and even if I sell you out, I can't convince him."
"I really don't know what that guy is doing all day long!" Katrina curled her lips, picked up the tea and returned to the study to continue compiling the book.
In a desolate village, Albert suddenly sneezed, causing the wand in his hand to pause, almost causing the spell to fail.
"Cold?" Sana asked.
"It's okay, maybe someone is saying bad things about me behind my back!"
Albert rubbed his nose with his hand, refocused his attention on the gradually taking shape of the stronghold, nodded with satisfaction and said, "The progress is faster than I expected."
"In fact, I never understood why you like to go to such a remote place?" Lee Jordan looked around the completely deserted village and muttered, "There is nothing here."
"You need to understand that if you want to truly hide yourself, the best way is not to use any advanced magic, but to make others not know where you are, because no matter how advanced the protective magic is, it may be forcibly cracked by others."
"Like Malfoy Manor?"
"As long as this is completed." Albert did not respond, and continued: "I will use the Fidelius Charm to protect this place, and you don't need to worry about the group of dark wizards and Death Eaters wandering around."
"Well, you do make a lot of sense," Fred couldn't help but complain.
"When are you planning to hold the party?" George put down his wand and took out the cakes prepared by the house elves from the picnic basket and distributed them to everyone. "Recently?"
"At least we have to wait until this place is completed." Albert took a sip of butter beer, glanced at the mirror next to him and said, "By the way, I plan to turn this place into a wizard village in the future. You can move here to live."
"A wizarding village, like Hogsmeade?"
Fred, George and Lee Jordan all looked at Albert in surprise.
"Is this okay?" Sana frowned and reminded, "Although this place has been abandoned, if..."
"The land here has been abandoned for a long time. It won't cost many pounds to buy it reasonably." Albert shrugged.
"You bought this village?"
Everyone was stunned by Albert's fierce words.
"I plan to turn this place into an industrial park, responsible for the supply of raw materials and product processing for the store." Albert briefly described his future plans, "But that's for the future."
"You're really planning for the long term!" Shanna was shocked by Albert's plan. "Are you planning to move here in the future?"
"It depends, but probably," Albert shrugged and took another sip of butterbeer, "how many reasons do you find to join us?"
"Seven or eight for now!" Fred counted on his fingers. "Eight if you believe Kenneth."
"There's no need to rush this matter. Once this place is built, I believe more people will be willing to join us." Albert seemed to have thought of something and turned to ask Shanna, "How is the new teaching materials being sorted out?"
"It will take some time. Are you really planning to compile a new 'Defense Against the Dark Arts Guide'?"
"After all, we will definitely have to fight against dark wizards in the future, and it's easy to lose your life if you don't have some skills. I plan to rewrite it based on the Auror course, so that at least friends who are willing to join us will have some self-protection ability when facing the enemy." Albert finished the butterbeer in his cup. "The Order of the Phoenix did a very poor job in this regard. Although their level is good, but... In short, if Moody is willing to give them more training, the casualties of the Order of the Phoenix members should be greatly reduced."
"I hope this war will end soon!" Shanna muttered.
"Don't worry, the war will be over in a few years. You should believe Albert's prediction," George comforted.
"What are you going to do if Harry Potter fails to eliminate the mysterious man and the situation gets completely out of control?" Shanna looked directly at Albert.
"It depends on the situation. If it is really irreversible, I will leave the UK directly, but I trust my own judgment more and believe that Harry will successfully defeat the mysterious man." Albert said confidently.
"There's something I think I need you to know." Lee Jordan changed the subject.
"What's up?"
"Our wizard cards aren't selling very well and are likely to become a losing business. Do you think we should continue?"
Lee Jordan was a little depressed when talking about this. He originally thought that the popular wizard cards in school should sell well. However, the cruel reality woke him up. The poor sales of wizard cards made him realize that it was Albert, not the wizard cards, that was popular.
Without Albert's Wizard Card Club, the true situation would probably be exposed soon.
"Even if you don't make money, you can still use it as an accessory to shopping." Albert patted Lee Jordan's shoulder and consoled him, "You won't lose much money. And you're just too anxious."
"Well, since you said so."
Lee Jordan felt relieved for some reason. He was a little worried that Albert would just give up the Wizard card.
"According to the current progress, it should be completed soon." Albert brought the topic back.
"The tunnel we're going to dig next also needs to be reinforced. Although it's not impossible to use magic, it doesn't seem very reliable."
"Use cement." Shanna looked at Albert, "We have to find a way to get some cement."
"Don't worry about that. I'll find time to get some cement." Albert had already thought of a solution.
“What about lighting?”
"Just use the Gublerite fire. I can make that thing. Then you just need to cast a spell on the ceiling like Hogwarts did and leave a magic window to solve the problem.
"Gublai fairy fire? It is said to be a very advanced magic."
Shanna was not surprised that Albert could use such advanced magic, but she was still a little surprised to hear it with her own ears.
“It’s really difficult.”
"Which one is more difficult, the Patronus Charm?"
"They are different, whether in terms of the techniques used or other aspects. In addition, Gublai fairy fire requires strong magic to support it." Albert didn't want to discuss the production method of Gublai fairy fire with others, so he changed the subject and said, "I will buy you some cement in the next few days. After you prepare the space inside, I will use the traceless extension spell to expand the space inside."
"If Stringer knew that you abused the Traceless Extension Charm like this, he might not be able to help but give you a scary fine and extort a lot of money from you, a rich man." Fred said with a smile.
"No, he'll probably pretend not to see it." Albert shook his head. "Scrimgeour is becoming more and more like a politician."
"Don't worry about other things, let's talk business first." George had no choice but to interrupt the idle chat and bring the topic back to the topic, "Can you help me get a few more mirrors or communication bookmarks recently? I can then distribute them to Cedric and the others for communication."
"That's no problem. I'll give it to you in a couple of days."
Albert has always wanted to set up a contact group similar to the QQ group. He already has some ideas and plans to set it up for them to use this time and test the effect at the same time.
"By the way, the Order of the Phoenix has already started to develop peripheral members as you requested, and the speed is amazing." Fred continued, "Lovegood is also a supporter of Harry. The last time we went to talk to him about this matter in person, he agreed very readily."
"Right now Sirius and Lupin are researching a special pair of demon-proof glasses, hoping to see the hidden contents through them."
"They hope you can help with the research," George explained, "so that we can get results faster."
"That's no problem, but I'm very busy lately and may not be able to spare the time." Albert agreed straightforwardly. This was actually his idea, but because he was too busy, he threw it to Sirius and Lupin to study.
"If it succeeds, I'm sure there will be a lot of weirdos who wear anti-monster glasses to watch The Quibbler." Lee Jordan has also seen the so-called anti-monster glasses. He doesn't think anyone would be willing to wear those ridiculous glasses, let alone wear them to watch The Quibbler.
"I think as long as Lovegood doesn't do anything stupid, he shouldn't be exposed." Shanna felt that neither the Death Eaters nor the dark wizards would be interested in trashy newspapers like The Quibbler.
"By the way, tell Kings that Kenneth is working with us, and have them set a trap using Kenneth as bait. I think some guys are targeting Kenneth."
"Is this really okay?"
"No problem. If we give Kenneth some Felicis Lotion, he shouldn't be in any trouble. And the Ministry of Magic can reduce his father's sentence by a year or two. I believe Kenneth will be willing to cooperate with the Ministry of Magic's actions." Albert glanced at the parchment that was recording things next to him, checked what had just happened, and handed the parchment to Fred.
"Are you planning to leave?"
"Well, please help me make an appointment with Bill some other day. I have something to tell him."
"What's up?"
"You will know when the time comes. Keep it a secret for now to prevent it from being leaked."
"cut?"
"If you're in a hurry, I can arrange it for you tonight. I think he should be free."
"Let's do it another day. I'd better not go to the humble room." Albert shook his head. "That will cause trouble for them. Go to the headquarters of the Order of the Phoenix, or find another place. You can talk to Bill about this first."
