After George Apparated, the two appeared in a remote suburb surrounded by abandoned houses, and the headquarters of the Order of the Phoenix was hidden here.
"It's not far ahead."
George was about to reveal the location of the Order of the Phoenix headquarters to Albert when he was suddenly stopped by Albert.
"What's wrong?" George immediately looked around alertly.
"Your Animagus is very recognizable."
Albert waved his wand and pulled out the dark figure hiding in the shadow of the abandoned house.
"Not every wizard is as perceptive as you."
The black dog changed back into Blake's appearance in front of Albert and greeted Albert.
"I'm sure everyone will be happy to see you."
"What were you doing?" George asked puzzledly.
"When we came here just now, we triggered the invasion spell left by the Order of the Phoenix." Albert explained casually, "Blake probably came to see who is coming. If it is an enemy, he can find an opportunity to sneak attack the opponent."
"That's about it."
Sirius cast an admiring look at Albert, walked in front of Albert and George to lead the way.
"arrive."
After walking for a while, the three stopped and stood in front of an open space.
“Welcome to 19 York Village.”
As soon as George finished his topic, the outline of a dilapidated house appeared in front of Albert.
Albert did expect that one day he would come to the headquarters of the Order of the Phoenix, but he didn't expect it to be for this reason.
"Dobby, please send George back first and come back later."
After George told Albert the location of the headquarters of the Order of the Phoenix, he suddenly spoke to the air beside him.
Dobby the house-elf appeared out of nowhere, reached out and took George's hand, and prepared to Apparate him away.
"wait… "
Before George could finish his words, he was pulled away by the house-elf and Apparated.
"House-elf?" Sirius looked at where Dobby left, and was surprised that Albert actually brought a house-elf with him.
"Dobby used to be the house-elf of the Malfoy family. Later, I spent some Galleons to hire it to work for me." Albert explained.
"In the entire wizarding world, you're probably the only one who would do that." Sirius didn't ask any more questions. Albert must have his reasons for bringing a house-elf.
"They are good helpers, loyal and reliable." Albert has quite some trust in house-elves.
Sirius paused, skeptical.
There was no way, Kreacher left such a bad impression on him.
Just as they were walking towards the headquarters of the Order of the Phoenix, the wooden door in front of them suddenly opened, and a dark shadow threw himself into Albert's arms, and Hermione's voice sounded in his ears.
"I knew you wouldn't just sit there and do nothing. You would definitely come to help us," Hermione said excitedly.
Albert patted Hermione's shoulder and said helplessly, "Well, we'd better go in. I'm afraid it's not safe here now."
Behind Hermione, Ron had a gloomy face, as if someone owed him a handful of Galleons. On the contrary, Harry gave Albert a grateful look.
"Sorry, I'm just... so happy."
Hermione let go of Albert and pulled him into the Order of the Phoenix headquarters.
As a semi-outsider, Hermione knew better than most people here how rare it was that Albert was willing to help clean up this mess.
The current trouble was entirely caused by everyone's previous unwillingness to listen to Albert's advice, and had nothing to do with him.
What's more, Albert has helped them more than once, so it can be said that he has done his best.
Now, the fact that he is still willing to help clean up the mess is enough to show how good his character is.
"You need to be alert recently. The Weisleys are likely to have been captured. As long as the You-Know-Who is in control, it won't be difficult to torture them to find out Harry's whereabouts or the approximate location of the Phoenix Order headquarters." Albert suddenly said to Sirius, "So, I asked Dobby to send George away, to prevent him, the secret keeper, from showing up here and causing trouble."
"You mean... there will be dark wizards monitoring this place." Lee Jordan understood what Albert meant, and Albert had always been very cautious about this matter.
Only the Loyalty Spell can truly keep the enemy out; no matter how sophisticated other defensive measures are, they will be of little use.
"Obviously." Albert looked around and asked in confusion, "By the way, where's Fred?"
"Fred's emotions aren't very stable, so let him rest first." Lee Jordan felt a little embarrassed when talking about this. It was he who did it from behind, but Lee Jordan didn't think there was anything wrong with it. It's easy to mess things up if you act impulsively.
"Let's wake Fred up first." Albert could understand Lee Jordan's good intentions.
Ultimately, it was because they had had it too smooth. Although the Weasley twins had matured a lot under his care, the Gryffindor impulse was still there. Especially when it came to their family, they were easily affected by their emotions.
Somehow, the originally spacious corridor suddenly became crowded. Many members of the Order of the Phoenix came to see Albert, as if he was some rare and precious magical animal.
"If you have something to do, go inside. Don't crowd here." Mad-Eye Moody finally couldn't bear it anymore and yelled at everyone.
Everyone rushed into the living room, wanting to hear Albert's opinion. They really had no good ideas at the moment.
Especially after their hasty escape from the Burrow, no one wanted to risk going back to die.
"I just did a divination."
Albert ignored the looks from others and announced the answer directly, "It is very likely that the Weisleys will be imprisoned in Azkaban. However, the current situation is not too bad."
Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what to say.
If this isn't too bad, then what is bad
"Do you know what's going on at the Burrow now?" Albert asked.
"Kings has just gone out to gather information. He should be able to get some information when he returns." Sirius explained quickly, "Other people with connections are also helping to get information from the Ministry of Magic."
At this time, Bill walked into the living room with Fleur, whose eyes were a little red and swollen. They had never thought that the wedding would turn out like this, and the Delacour couple was still missing.
"Does anyone know how many people Scrimgeour killed before? I mean how many dark wizards died?" Albert looked around at everyone and his gaze finally fell on Mad-Eye Moody.
"That guy killed all the Death Eaters himself, and many dark wizards died in the previous fight." Mad-Eyes smiled bitterly, "You know, Scrimgeour has allowed the Aurors to directly kill the rebellious dark wizards."
As soon as the words fell, everyone suddenly understood why Albert said it wasn't too bad.
There was no way. Scrimgeour directly wiped out the attacking Death Eaters in this wave. It was normal for Voldemort to vent his anger on them afterwards.
After all, Scrimgeour would most likely die in the duel with Voldemort. If this still failed to vent Voldemort's anger, those guests who didn't have time to escape would be in big trouble.
"I warned them."
Albert suddenly said this, and then he continued: "They are all adults and need to be responsible for their own actions. Those who continue to stay in that situation must have realized their mistakes."
This really leaves one speechless.
"According to my divination results." Albert brought the topic back to the topic: "It is very likely that the Weisleys will be severely tortured and then imprisoned in Azkaban prison as bait to attract you."
As he spoke, his eyes swept over Harry and the other two.
"However, the situation is not too bad. As long as people are still alive, there is still hope." Albert looked at Fred who hurried into the meeting room and said to Sirius, "Give Fred a sedative. Impulsiveness will never solve the problem."
"So, we're going to jailbreak them?" Bill suddenly asked, "Save them from Azkaban?"
"It's probably a trap there, and anyone who steps into it will die there. The best way is to intercept them on the way to Azkaban and take them back directly." Albert asked Moody directly: "Do you know where Azkaban is? Do you know how the Ministry of Magic escorts prisoners to Azkaban Prison? I don't think it's using Apparition or Floo Powder!"
"The wizarding world has a dedicated port. If the Ministry of Magic has not changed the method of going to Azkaban, Aurors usually rely on an automatic cruise ship to send prisoners to Azkaban Prison. As for the exact location, no one knows, but it should be on a small island in the cold waters of the North Sea. Most of the time, you have to rely on luck to find it."
"In this case, it might be troublesome to intercept them halfway." Albert waved his wand, and a parchment and a quill appeared out of thin air, and handed them to Fred. "I need you to draw a simple topographic map of the area around the Burrow."
Fred, who had just taken the sedative, couldn't help but ask, "What do you want this for?"
"I need to make sure they are still at the Burrow, and find out what's going on there."
Everyone looked at each other, not understanding what Albert wanted to do, but Fred still drew the picture according to Albert's wishes and asked Ginny to help add details.
"The Human Footprint Charm is a very practical spell." Albert took the parchment and tapped it lightly with his wand. "If the Death Eaters are still staying in the Burrow, we can even consider going directly to the Burrow to rescue them, as long as the You-Know-Who has left there."
"That's not like you at all," Fred muttered. They had never thought that Albert was afraid of Voldemort.
As for the reason, Albert never explained it clearly, only telling them that the time was not right.
The original map began to change. An ink dot appeared out of nowhere, with Kingslai's name marked on it.
The group of villains who did not come in person had already left. They obviously had no intention of interrogating the wizards they captured at the Burrow.
