A few days later.
In the corridor outside the treatment room, Albert was sitting in an armchair, his arms hanging down, his fingers intertwined, his eyes fixed on the closed door in front of him.
Even though he had seen the predicted results from the crystal ball long ago, he still couldn't suppress his inner anxiety.
This was the first time in his two lifetimes that he was a father.
Although Albert wasn't eager to become a father, he was still nervous.
"You really don't look nervous at all!"
Katrina glanced at the man beside her, unable to understand why he was always so calm.
"Yeah, it's okay."
Albert responded casually.
After the door of the treatment room was opened from the inside, he immediately stood up from his chair and looked at the therapist who was smiling kindly at them.
"Mother and daughter are safe," she announced.
After saying that, the therapist stepped aside to make room for the door so that the anxious family members could enter.
In the room, Mrs. McDougal was holding Alice, who was crying loudly, and letting Yin Zebel, who looked tired, look at her child.
"You've worked hard. Have a good rest."
Looking at Yin Zebel's pale cheek, Albert reached out and grabbed her palm, leaned over and kissed her forehead, "I'm here."
His wife was as beautiful as ever.
"I want to hug the baby." Yin Zebel said softly.
"You need to rest, don't worry dear."
"I'm not as weak as you think."
Yin Zebel found it a little funny, and Albert's concern made her feel very warm.
It was obvious that Albert cared more about her than the children.
"Then wait until you have recovered a little. Alice also needs rest since she was born." Albert looked at the therapist for help.
"The baby has just been born, don't be anxious." The middle-aged therapist kindly reminded.
Albert was not in a hurry to send the therapist away. Instead, he talked to her about Yin Zebel and the baby's care. After carefully recording the matters that should be paid attention to, he simply paid the remaining half of the money that was promised. He also specifically reminded her of some things that should be paid attention to to avoid the other party leaking his information and causing trouble for her, and then asked the house-elf to send the other party back.
"What's your plan next?" Katrina asked.
"Leave France first." Albert said without hesitation.
"You don't believe her?" Katrina raised her eyebrows slightly, "Then why don't you erase her memory? It shouldn't be difficult for you!"
"That's very rude, and... we are leaving soon. Even if they really encounter misfortune because of their talkativeness, it has nothing to do with us." Albert asked the house-elves to check various supplies. They were ready to leave France by ship.
That night, Albert informed his family of Alice's birth through a two-way mirror, and Herb and Daisy were very happy.
However, the happiest people were Luke and Shana. Both old people hoped that Albert could take time to take little Alice to visit them in the Far East.
"Alice looks so small and ugly." Yin Zebel held the child with tender eyes and said softly.
"She'll grow up to be a beauty like you."
Albert took the baby and put it back in the crib, saying gently, "You should lie down and have a good rest now. Take care of your body in the next month to avoid any problems."
"You are too nervous." Yin Zebel felt very sweet and happy in his heart.
"Dinner is ready."
Katrina pushed the dining cart in, looked at the loving couple over there, coughed lightly and said, "You should go out to eat too. It seems someone over there has a message for you."
After sending Albert away, Katrina said slowly, "He really loves you."
"Well, he is a very gentle person."
Katrina didn't respond, and suddenly asked, "Is it hard to give birth to a child?"
"It's not as painful as I imagined." Yin Zebeier looked at the sleeping child and said softly, "But I'm very happy."
"I can see that I just hope the future baby is a boy," Katrina muttered.
At this time, there was a knock on the door.
Mrs. McDougal pushed the door open and walked into the room. Looking at Yin Zebel who was enjoying the special dinner, she asked, "How was your dinner? Is it to your liking?"
"Yeah, dinner was delicious."
Yin Zebel raised his eyebrows slightly and said softly, "Don't worry, Mom. He knows what he is doing. The war will be over soon."
"Well, of course I believe him, but..."
Mrs. MacDougal certainly had confidence in Albert, but she was still worried about this cruel wizard war and worried that her daughter would follow in her footsteps.
After a short dinner, Albert contacted the Wesley brothers through the two-way mirror and shared with them the joy of the birth of little Alice.
"Oh, that's great, I'm little Alice's godfather." George was in a very good mood and did not forget to show off to Fred who had a gloomy face next to him.
"Don't be too happy too soon. I'm afraid you won't be able to leave the headquarters from now on." Fred counterattacked bluntly.
"Well, keep this matter secret for now, to prevent the You-Know-Who and the Death Eaters from causing you trouble." Albert warned.
"You don't mind if I tell the others about little Alice?" asked George.
"Just let others know." Albert changed the subject and asked, "By the way, how is it going in the UK?"
"You haven't read today's newspaper yet," George suddenly asked, "No, what's the latest news?"
"The Ministry of Magic has found Bubbage." Fred's voice suddenly sounded, "They found her in the house you predicted. The Death Eaters used her to set a trap and lured people from the Ministry of Magic into the trap. An Auror and three members of the crisis response team were sacrificed, and a large number of people were injured."
"If the Aurors hadn't carried a large number of Defense Against the Dark Arts items, I'm afraid the losses would have been even more severe."
"What about the Death Eaters?"
"It is said that many people died." George shook his head. "The Ministry of Magic has ordered a batch of defense against the dark arts from us."
"How's Bubbaji?" Albert asked
"She's not dead, but she's been driven crazy by the Cruciatus Curse." George felt that the Death Eaters didn't kill Bubbaji simply to use her as bait.
If he killed the person directly, Albert might not be able to find the exact location through divination.
A premeditated ambush met with a premeditated sneak attack, and the Ministry of Magic won a small victory thanks to its equipment advantage.
"I may not be returning to England for the time being. The Defense Association, please spend more time to let them master the spells I planned. I will teach you the combat skills when I return next time." Albert ordered.
As a qualified husband, it is really not appropriate for him to leave at this time.
"You may have to come back soon. Bill and Fleur's wedding has been brought forward." George said suddenly, "They hope to invite you to the wedding, so please be sure to come."
"Don't they plan to do it in secret?" Albert guessed why George wanted him to attend, just like he invited Dumbledore.
"No, that..." George hesitated for a moment and smiled bitterly, "There are too many relatives on both sides, so it's difficult to hold it in secret."
"So, after I told them about your reminder, Dad decided to hold Bill and Fleur's wedding before the Ministry of Magic fell." George smiled bitterly. Although he also felt that it was very risky, he had no good way to persuade them to give up holding a grand wedding.
"Okay, I'll do some divination for you then, but don't count on it too much." Albert felt that Wes was courting death by coming home.
Considering the relationship between the Weiss family and Harry, the Order of the Phoenix, and him, they are most likely on the Death Eaters' blacklist.
Holding a grand wedding under such circumstances is simply courting death.
Aren't you really afraid that the Death Eaters will come and cause trouble
If Dumbledore were still there, nothing would have gone wrong, but he was gone. Albert never thought that he had the same deterrent power as Dumbledore, let alone intimidation of the Death Eaters, so he was really not optimistic about this wedding.
After a moment's silence, Albert took a two-way mirror from the shelf and whispered Scrimgeour's name. He needed to talk to him.
