No one is willing to pay, and everyone wants others to die first, but is there such a good thing in the world
Albert was of course well aware that these were human weaknesses, so he never laughed at them. He just felt a little sad and fortunate that he didn't have to be one of them.
He never thought that the case of Caridi Burbagi would alert other Muggle wizards in the wizarding world, nor did he think that the twins' radio station would make everyone vigilant. Usually, only when they are about to die will they feel a sense of crisis and truly see the truth.
Even if it was him, it would be the same. People always like to hold on to the last bit of luck, there's nothing that can be done about it.
However, Albert believes Kingsley can fix the problem after it happens.
As long as the members of the Order of the Phoenix were not too stubborn, they would have come to their senses and known what they should do after the Ministry of Magic collapsed completely and was controlled by Voldemort.
At least, Sirius would remind everyone that they should get closer to Albert.
Perhaps it was because he successfully survived the death ordeal that Sirius Black had indeed changed a lot. Otherwise, it would have been difficult to deal with Fred and George alone. If they had allowed the Order of the Phoenix to mess around, they would have all died.
Today's magical world has become more dangerous because of Albert.
"The due date should be in the next few days, right?"
Katrina reached out and took the Prophet newspaper that Albert put down and asked, "Are you ready?"
"Well, the due date is in five days."
Albert looked at Yin Zebel tenderly, reached out and grabbed her white hand and put it on his face, and said softly, "Don't worry, everything is ready. I have already communicated with the therapist in advance. She will make time for you in the next few days."
"Where's my sister?" Katrina asked without raising her head.
"Mom has already told me what I should pay attention to. Everything that needs to be prepared has also been prepared and she has checked it several times." Yin Zebel was not nervous. They already knew everything through Albert's prediction.
"Wouldn't it be boring for you to know everything about life through prophecies?" Katrina absentmindedly flipped through the newspaper 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. He knew it would be like this as early as when he mastered the crystal ball divination. Besides, how they would live in the future was entirely up to them.
"Mom has actually been worried about your safety." Katrina suddenly changed the subject, "Is the British Ministry of Magic going to collapse? Why are there so many messed up accidents everywhere?"
"It's indeed more comfortable here, with not so many troubles." Albert glanced at Katrina. He didn't like to talk about these things in front of Yin Zebel, so as not to affect her mood.
"After the baby is born, we will decide whether to continue living here or return to the ship. We don't need to rush back to the UK. The environment over there is very depressing."
"And you?"
Yin Zebel didn't care about this kind of thing. Although she really didn't want to go back to England, it was enough to have Albert by her side.
"Then let's go back to live on the ship. It's safer on the ship, and we can also travel to other countries by ship." Albert said without hesitation.
"Around the world by boat?"
Katrina turned her eyes away from the explosion in the newspaper.
"I'm afraid traveling around the world won't work in the near future. I still have to keep an eye on the UK, after all, many of my friends are staying there." Albert raised his head from Yin Zebel's belly: "However, traveling around the world by ship is a good idea. After the war is over, we can try it. It shouldn't take long."
Yin Zebel gently leaned her head on Albert's shoulder, grabbed his hand and placed it on her stomach, and whispered softly, "Don't worry, we will have plenty of time in the future."
"Are you sleepy?" Albert asked.
"Yeah, a little sleepy."
Yin Zebel actually doesn’t like this lazy life very much. She feels that her brain is not as good as before.
"I'll help you go back and rest."
When Katrina helped Yin Zebel back to her room to rest, she whispered to him, "Just bear with it for a few more days. Everything will be fine after Alice is born."
Albert looked at the two sisters' backs as they left, picked up the newspaper again and continued reading the article he had not finished reading before.
Then he took out his notebook and began to modify the plan on it.
The Wizarding War, which was lightly described in the novel, was more brutal than expected.
It has become a minor issue that major cities in the UK are shrouded in thick cold fog.
Explosions, plane crashes, and train derailments were all caused by the Death Eaters.
Not only that, the Death Eaters also slaughtered innocent people with impunity, and terrible incidents of massacres occurred in remote villages all over the UK.
In fact, they not only massacred Muggles, but also used dark magic to transform large numbers of corpses into Inferi to cause trouble for the Ministry of Magic.
In fact, the Ministry of Magic no longer deliberately concealed some not particularly important accidents, and the handling of certain things became very rough. Anyone who was not a fool could see the problem. People were angry to find that the British government was indifferent to what was happening under its nose.
Seeing that the magical world might be exposed to Muggles at any time, the Ministries of Magic in other European countries had no intention of sending Aurors to Britain to help again.
Dumbledore is dead. Anyone with a bit of common sense would know that if they send Aurors over there again, there's a good chance that there will be a bloody fight with the Death Eaters.
No Ministry of Magic in any country would be so generous, and no one would be willing to play such a fool.
No matter how the American Ministry of Magic condemned it, European countries remained indifferent.
If they were really worried about the wizarding world being exposed, they would have sent Aurors to help long ago. Why would they be arguing with other countries
As for exposure, let's wait until it is exposed.
"Mom agreed."
Katrina sat back on the sofa opposite Albert, looking at Albert who was reading the Paris Daily, and suddenly said, "But she said she would wait until the war is over."
"Oh, you actually convinced her." Albert suddenly looked up at Katrina, his tone filled with surprise that was difficult to conceal.
"When will this war end?" Katrina poured herself a cup of black tea. "I remember you said that the Second Wizarding War would not last long."
"Well, it should be over in the next one or two years." Albert looked up at Katrina and couldn't help asking, "I'm curious about how you convinced her."
Katrina didn't respond, she lowered her eyes and continued, "I heard that the First Wizarding War lasted a long time."
"Because Dumbledore was still alive at that time, and now he is dead, so there are only two outcomes, win or lose, the You-Know-Who will no longer be patient." Albert closed his notebook and said, "When he completely controls the Ministry of Magic, he will do something even more outrageous."
"Is the You-Know-Who stupid? He is so reckless. Isn't he worried about causing public outrage?" Katrina picked up another newspaper and said, "Those Muggles have been alert for a long time, and the International Confederation of Wizards will definitely not let the You-Know-Who completely expose the existence of the wizarding world to the Muggles."
"You're thinking too much. It's no good. Who wants to get into trouble?" Albert found that Katrina was still a little naive. Yin Zebel would never believe such things easily.
"That sounds like something you would say."
"The International Confederation of Wizards is nothing more than a tool used by certain interest groups to consolidate their own status and interests. Perhaps, it can be of some use in some small matters, but in big matters, don't expect the International Confederation of Wizards to be of use." Albert knew too well what the International Confederation of Wizards was.
After all, there was a precedent in the previous life.
"It's just like the laws of the Ministry of Magic only apply to ordinary wizards, but not to dark wizards, because the You-Know-Who only uses fists and not laws."
The Ministry of Magic had no choice but to get punched in the head and had to lie at the feet of the mystery man like any other dead-eater licking his gown to save his life.
As for the laws of the Ministry of Magic, they are even more of a joke. You can have as many of them as you want.
Unless they are even more unsportsmanlike than the You-Know-Who, Scrimgeour had tried to do that, but unfortunately after Dumbledore's death, it was useless for him to be unsportsmanlike without any backing. Voldemort would no longer have any scruples and would definitely find a way to kill him.
"What about you?" Katrina glanced at the notebook on the table. She had read the contents of the notebook before and knew what Albert was going to do next.
"Me? I'm just trying my best to provide some insignificant help to others." Albert said modestly.
"This kind of talk is just to deceive your supporters."
Katrina felt that Albert must have some purpose, although she could never figure out what he wanted to do.
For fame
Obviously not, Albert is already famous enough.
status
The social status of the Master of Prophecy is very high, and Albert has many titles. He is also a member of the Wizengamot.
As for getting rich
If Albert wanted to make money, he would have many ways to do it with his smart brain. Fred and George's shop was a ready-made example. Moreover, all signs showed that this guy had no shortage of Galleons.
So, she never understood what Albert wanted to do, but she was sure that there must be a reason why Albert did that, because this guy always did things with a strong purpose.
"What exactly do you want to do?" Katrina looked at Albert suspiciously.
"I just want to live my life quietly. I've never thought about doing anything. After all, I have everything I need now." Albert said indifferently.
"Do you think I would believe that?" Katrina couldn't help but roll her eyes, pointed at the notebook, and couldn't help but complain, "Sometimes I can't help but suspect that you are the culprit that caused the chaos in the British wizarding world."
"I fought against the You-Know-Who only because he wanted to kill me. You can't just let me accept my fate and let him kill me." Albert would not accept such an accusation. It was obviously Voldemort who caused the chaos in the Ministry of Magic. How could he be slandered so casually
"Then why did you form a defense association?"
"Someone has to stand up to him."
"So you stepped forward?"
"There always needs to be someone to lead and show the way, and those people are my friends and those who are willing to believe in me. I need to take them through this wizard war alive as much as possible." Albert explained, "This requires caution in every way, so you think I am 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 usually have shorter lives." Albert nodded and said, "Besides, being a good person will make you restricted in every way and live an uncomfortable life. I just need to make sure I don't become a bad person."
"Well, I can't argue with you." Katrina was too lazy to continue arguing and asked curiously, "Is there really no one in the huge wizarding world who stands up to fight against the You-Know-Who?"
"Yes, but very few. Most people don't have that kind of courage." Albert said softly.
"Because you're afraid that you'll be the next missing person, that your child will be the next to be attacked?" Katrina knew the reason clearly. The terror reign of Voldemort and the Death Eaters was very effective. It made the wizards in the magical world tremble with fear. There were very few wizards as stubborn as Scrimgeour.
No wonder Albert is willing to work with him.
"Yes. Everyone is counting on others to step up. They need a hero, a savior." Albert's tone was cold, and he obviously looked down on those people. "Scrimgeour did a good job before, but now there are many people complaining."
"Then why don't you help him?"
"I have helped him. Otherwise, how do you think the Ministry of Magic achieved those results before?" Albert bent down and picked up Tom, scratched his chin and said, "But Scrimgeour was restricted, and his own strength was not strong enough. He will not live long after losing his protection."
"Are you going to watch him die?"
"That was Scrimgeour's own choice. He could have survived, but he chose death." Albert was very calm when he talked about this. "To be honest, the British wizarding world does not deserve to have Scrimgeour who works so hard for them, just like they do not deserve to have Dumbledore."
Katrina sensed a strong sense of contempt in Albert's tone. She actually didn't quite understand why Albert hated the British wizarding world so much.
"What about you?"
"I just try to provide as much help as possible to everyone and guide them to stand up against the mysterious man."
"What if they don't want to?"
"Then keep lying there until this war is over, if they can tolerate the Death Eaters and other dark wizards running rampant over them."
"You seem to enjoy seeing them get into trouble." Katrina raised her eyebrows slightly.
"Willing? No, I'm just stating the facts. Some things won't change whether I'm happy or not. The only ones who can change are themselves."
