"Are we leaving just like that? I thought you would just watch that crazy woman Bellatrix being taken to Azkaban by the Aurors." Fred put down the telescope and turned his head to look at Albert who was covering his wrist.
"I think that crazy woman will probably be executed straight away," Lee Jordan corrected.
"Yes, that crazy woman is too dangerous. The cost of killing her is less than the cost of capturing her alive." George also felt that the Aurors would kill Bellatrix directly.
The three of them didn't quite understand why Albert didn't watch to the end. The drama had just begun, and they had to see Bellatrix's final outcome before leaving.
"Did something happen?"
George noticed Albert's actions and reacted first.
"Well, the mysterious man is coming." Albert reached out and touched his bracelet, explaining to the three people, "If you don't want to bump into him, it's best to get out of the way in advance."
"Mysterious man!"
All three of them were shocked by Albert's words.
"Scrimgeour isn't here, so the You-Know-Who is probably coming for me."
Albert raised his wand, summoned his Patronus, and sent it to convey the news of the mysterious man's arrival to the Aurors who were arresting Bellatrix.
As for whether the Aurors planned to evacuate immediately or stay to surround and kill the crazy woman, that was none of his business.
"Leave."
After the ball of light flew out from the tip of the wand and flew towards the house in front, Albert motioned for the three to grab his arms and Apparated with them.
"here it is?"
George looked around and found that the four people appeared on the edge of a remote cliff, and rough waves could be seen ahead.
"This is a defensive fortification left over from the Muggle War. It has now been completely forgotten and abandoned by the Muggles. I converted it into a temporary safe house. Come with me." Albert led them around a corner, entered the passage from a hidden entrance, and soon found the safe house.
"Why are we here?" George asked puzzled.
"We need to wait for Dobby here. He will take us directly to Hogwarts. Otherwise, we will have to go through a secret passage to get in. By the way, it is best not to Apparate directly to the vicinity of our headquarters in the future. It will easily leave traces and expose our location." Albert explained to the three while staring at the Marauder's Map to check the changes in the name of the village.
"Can it really be done to this extent?" Lee Jordan asked in surprise.
"Of course, ordinary wizards can't do it, but the You-Know-Who can. In fact, I can do it too, and the headmaster can do it too." Albert muttered, "The Aurors have already evacuated the Muggle village, which really let Bellatrix escape. Those guys are really not very reliable."
Although he had expected it, he still felt regretful that the crazy woman didn't die, which meant that his plan to kill her had failed.
It's a pity that such a good opportunity was wasted by the Aurors.
Sure enough, I will do it myself next time.
Forget it, let’s just take care of it a little longer.
Who knows, one day it may become fatter, and we can harvest it together then.
"So, you have reached the level of the principal?" The three of them stared at Albert with wide eyes. Although they had expected it, they still didn't expect it to come out of Albert's mouth.
"Can you defeat the mysterious man in a duel?" Fred was more curious about this question.
"I don't know. I don't think I can kill him. After all, my opponent is the Dark Lord, and I am far less experienced than him." Albert admitted this straightforwardly. "It will take time to make up for this."
"If You-Know-Who and the Death Eaters find this place, won't this safe house be exposed?"
"It doesn't matter. There is a more hidden safe house inside, so it doesn't matter if here is exposed." Albert was not worried about this problem. He was more curious about how the mysterious man predicted his specific location. This was very unusual.
"The environment here is a bit bad. There's not even any light source." Lee Jordan looked around and turned his gaze back to Albert. After noticing the change in his expression, he asked tentatively, "Have you thought of anything?"
"It's unusual that the You-Know-Who knows my location." Albert looked at Tom Riddle's name that appeared on the map with a gloomy expression.
"But didn't you also notice the mysterious man was targeting you right away?"
The three of them couldn't understand what was going on, and they really couldn't comprehend how Albert got the news in the first place.
"I see." Albert suddenly realized, "That guy's brain has become more useful."
"What's going on?" the three asked in unison.
"That guy actually asked someone to divine my location."
"Divination?"
"Yeah, no one is better at finding people than a fortune teller," Albert muttered.
Fortunately, the reaction was quick enough, otherwise those Aurors would have suffered heavy losses.
"There are very few true prophet masters, but they do exist. Cassandra Wabraskey, the author of 'Seeing the Future Through the Mist'. That guy had previously sent himself to St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injuries, but he still couldn't escape?" Albert shook his head and said, "He knew that he was being targeted by the You-Know-Who, but he didn't even know how to find a place to hide. Now, he has been pulled out of the bed by the You-Know-Who. He is really going to cause trouble for me."
"In other words, the mysterious person may be able to know your location through divination in the future?" George quickly grasped the key point and suddenly felt something was not right.
"It's only temporary. Cassandra Vabratsky is already very old, and she can't stand the torture of the You-Know-Who and the Death Eaters. I don't think she will live long." Albert was not worried about this problem. After Cassandra Vabratsky died, it would be difficult for Voldemort to find another master of prophecy.
The three of them were stunned and temporarily gave up the futile struggle. They all realized that they could not keep up with Albert's train of thought and always understood only half of what he said.
"What do we do next?" George asked what Fred and Lee Jordan wanted to say.
"Let's go to Hogwarts and check on Cedric!"
Just then, there was a crackling sound of Apparition from the safe house, and the house-elf appeared out of thin air.
Dobby bowed slightly to Albert and asked sharply, "Mr. Anderson, do you have any instructions?"
"Take us to Hogwarts, go there quietly and don't let anyone notice." Albert reached out and grabbed Dobby's hand. Fred, George and Lee Jordan quickly reached out and grabbed Albert. The four of them were taken away by the house-elves and disappeared.
A group of people appeared at the school observatory. There should be no one in the observatory at this time.
"Thank you Dobby. I'll need you to take the three of them back later."
"Dobby is pleased to be of service to Mr. Anderson." The house-elf bowed slightly to Albert and disappeared.
"House elves can Apparate in school." George looked at the place where Dobby the house elf disappeared and muttered quietly, "Why hasn't anyone thought of using house elves to invade Hogwarts before?"
"Because wizards are too arrogant. They only treat house-elves as slaves and ignore the fact that they can do magic. And most wizards who own house-elves are of this kind." Albert said contemptuously, "So, they don't even have this idea."
"You are indeed worthy of me."
Sometimes, when you compare other people to Albert, they seem particularly stupid.
Under the cover of the Disillusionment Spell, the four of them headed towards the school hospital. They met some students on the way, but no one noticed their presence.
As they took a shortcut, Fred slowed down and asked, "If you use the power of the Ministry of Magic, can you ambush and kill the You-Know-Who?"
"We can't really kill the mysterious man yet." Albert stopped and looked at the three people, and said calmly, "Since we can't kill him, there is no point in taking this risk."
"Even you can't do anything? Then how can we win this war?" Fred asked, "Do we really need to rely on Harry?"
"Don't worry." Albert interrupted.
"The victory of this war has never been won from within the game, but from outside the game."
"As long as we find a way to completely kill the You-Know-Who, we will be able to win, and this is what Dumbledore has been doing. We need to wait until we find a way to kill the You-Know-Who before we kill him."
"Dumbledore is looking for a way to kill You-Know-Who?"
"He will find it, and by then the mysterious man will become a mortal." Albert said calmly.
"You must know something."
"The fewer people who know about this, the better." Albert made a hushing gesture.
"As for killing the mysterious man who has transformed into a mortal, there is no need to worry about that, because even the most powerful people can be ambushed." Albert said softly, "You should have heard the story of the three brothers in The Tales of Beedle the Bard!"
"The invincible boss was eventually killed by another wizard who stole his wand and cut his throat while he was sleeping."
"The probability of this trick being successful is very low." Lee Jordan complained, "I don't think anyone can cut the mysterious man's neck while he is sleeping."
"It's just a metaphor," Albert complained.
"I know, it's just a metaphor."
"We must first weaken the forces around the mysterious man, wait for Dumbledore to find a way to kill him, and finally gather everyone's strength to kill him completely. That is the most stable way.
"Even if he wants to hide, I can find him through divination!"
“So, encountering the mysterious man now is definitely a very disadvantageous thing. Don’t forget that he cannot be killed for the time being.
Of course, Albert didn't want to duel with the mysterious man. He was not afraid of the mysterious man, but he was worried about being stabbed in the back.
The last time he confronted the Aurors of the Ministry of Magic, he was attacked from behind by Malfoy and his gang, which made him very alert.
What's more, the opponent is a mysterious man. God knows whether there are wizards on their side who are controlled by the Imperius Curse.
It is obviously extremely foolish to expect the You-Know-Who and the Death Eaters to be noble. They will use any means to try to kill Albert.
But Albert never gave them any chance.
