After learning the message from Ernie, Cedric couldn't help but be a little surprised at the other party's audacity. This matter was actually discussed seriously because they also wanted to drive away the Death Eaters and take back Hogwarts.
In the end, the meeting was delayed in making a decision because Albert was not present.
As for the Order of the Phoenix, after a brief discussion, they have clearly rejected this bold plan, because even if they can control the Death Eaters led by Snape, it will be difficult to truly hide it from the You-Know-Who.
Professor McGonagall believed that before the opportunity mentioned by Albert came, the Death Eaters should not be overly stimulated, lest those lunatics do something crazy again.
Such a result is undoubtedly disappointing, especially for the students who remain in Hogwarts, who are suffocated by the oppression of the Death Eaters.
“Perhaps the professors have their own considerations.”
Cedric hesitated for a moment and said to Ernie, "If you really want to drop out of school and join the Defense Society, I suggest that you temporarily hide in the Room of Requirement and practice Defense Against the Dark Arts. If Dumbledore's Army is disbanded, everyone will lose the courage to fight against You-Know-Who and the Death Eaters."
"But… "
"Neville and Luna will return to Hogwarts in two days, and I will come here more often." Cedric comforted him, "It is especially important for you to lay a good foundation now. Otherwise, when you start to learn more combat skills, you will find that you need to go back and make up for what you have missed."
"I don't understand what you're so afraid of?" Michael muttered.
"Maybe, we can do it ourselves," Ernie suggested.
"I don't know where Albert has been these days. I suspect he is preparing something. I'll talk to him about this when he comes back." Cedric definitely didn't want Ernie to act privately, lest they suddenly make some big mistake, which would likely be difficult to resolve.
…
What on earth is Albert doing
This is probably something that both the Defense Association and the Order of the Phoenix are curious about.
Everyone thought he was planning something.
They had guessed correctly that Albert was indeed planning something big and was advancing his plan in an orderly manner.
The bombing of Hogsmeade was only half successful, and it was indeed a bit beyond his expectations, but the conflict caused by the confrontation between the Death Eaters under the control of the Imperius Curse and the foreign dark wizards still successfully attracted everyone's attention.
This made Ludo Badman's covert operation smoother. Many goblins had been visited by black wizards in recent days, and their valuables in their homes had been looted. Many goblins were so scared that they moved back to the goblin village to stay together with their kind.
This result was exactly what Albert wanted to see, and it could also be said to be the main reason why he let Ludo Badman commit a series of robberies.
"The soul is out of the body!"
After Ludo Badman controlled the goblin and completed a new round of robbery, Albert quietly appeared at the crime scene and used the Imperius Curse to successfully control the unlucky guy who had just been robbed. This was the fifth goblin that Albert had controlled in recent days.
The first four goblins were robbed by Ludo Badman and were forced to move back to the goblin village.
There are many unlucky guys with similar experiences, so naturally no goblin would suspect them. Even if one day these unlucky guys who were robbed by the same person gathered together to curse Ludo Badman, it seemed to be a very normal thing, not to mention secretly reporting the situation in the goblin village to Albert late at night.
The magic system of goblins is different from that of wizards. If Albert doesn't want to capsize in the gutter, he naturally needs to be careful. It would be too stupid to rush into the goblin village without any preparation.
After all, even if he used an advanced shielding spell, it might not be able to block the goblin's warning magic. He was not sure if there was anything similar in the village.
It would be stupid to be discovered as soon as I broke in.
However, all the evidence suggests that the goblins are more willing to trust the intricate underground labyrinths than the so-called warning magic.
It would be difficult for an invader to find the goblin village deep underground.
At least the group of dark wizards led by Ludo Badman were unlikely to go deep underground to rob them. Even if they did so, they would probably just get lost in the underground maze.
This undoubtedly made Albert's plan go more smoothly.
As an activist who protects the rights of goblins, Ragno is undoubtedly popular in the goblin community. His robbery by Ludo Badman made many goblins extremely angry.
Back then, the goblins who were looking for Ludo Badman to collect debts even claimed that they regretted not killing Badman directly
Ragno returned to the goblin village with his few remaining luggage to escape the disaster. He was warmly welcomed by everyone. The goblins even held a small party for him.
After finishing a party with several neighbors who had the same experience, Ragno drank some wine and opened one of his suitcases with confused eyes. The suitcase, which originally only contained a few old books and clothes, turned out to have a hidden door facing downwards.
After walking down the stairs, there is a small basement where a large cabinet is stored separately.
If there is a wizard who knows what's good here, he will definitely recognize that this is the disappearing cabinet that was very popular in the past.
Suddenly, the gears on the disappearing cabinet started moving and the door was opened from the inside, but there was nothing inside the cabinet.
However, from the extremely light footsteps, it cannot be concluded that someone has just come to this fairy village through the disappearing cabinet.
However, the person who was teleported became invisible.
"It went better than I expected." Albert laughed at himself in his heart, "That's right, if this fails, how unlucky would I be? What's more, I drank the Felicity Potion when I got here."
He came out of the suitcase quietly, picked up the village map prepared in advance on the table, tapped it lightly with his wand, used the human footprint spell on the map in his hand, and began to check whether the old goblin Bogrod was at the location marked on the map.
Fast, accurate and ruthless!
Everything is hard to guard against.
This is the key to Albert's success.
Even if the goblins really noticed that someone had invaded the village, Albert had already left behind a scapegoat and quietly left.
As for who the scapegoat was, it was naturally Ludo Badman.
If Albert's luck was really that bad, this "goblin enemy" would lead people to invade the goblin village and continue his robbery plan.
It seemed normal that this daring guy, who was blinded by the benefits of robbing the goblins, planned this action.
After all, he was the scapegoat who had been prepared long ago, and the hatred between the two sides had already reached its peak when the debt was not repaid.
As for him, of course he left before the fairy could react.
Bend down and go out through the low door.
There was a large open space outside. It was eerily quiet because the goblins had all fallen asleep.
Perhaps, in the goblin village, they didn't have to be as vigilant as outside, and living with their own kind made them feel more at ease. Moreover, the goblins obviously didn't think that any enemy would invade the dungeon, let alone a shameless guy using extraordinary means to invade here.
At this moment, Albert would walk silently in this dungeon dotted with fluorescent moss and magical lights, wearing special shoes.
After arriving at Bogrod's house according to the map, Albert confirmed again and again that everything was fine, then quietly opened the door, bent down and walked in.
The rooms here are all very similar, and Albert soon finds the old goblin Bogrod sleeping on the bed.
"The soul is out of the body!"
Albert raised his wand and cast a spell on the old goblin Bogrod. He was not in a hurry to completely control the old goblin Bogrod, but instead made an invisible bracelet made of rope appear on his wrist.
This would be Harry's last resort if his plan failed.
Until then, Albert will take matters into his own hands.
"I hope everything goes well next." Albert murmured.
The Horcruxes must all be destroyed.
Only after losing his Horcruxes and becoming mortal could Voldemort be killed.
He would never allow his plan to fail!
After completing the Imperius Curse on the old goblin Bogrod, Albert did not stay here. He came quietly and left quietly.
As for the suitcase containing the disappearing cabinet, he was also ready to take it away.
The solution is very simple.
Mentos
He pulled a handkerchief out of his pocket, cast a spell on it, and after completely transforming the handkerchief into a portkey, he was pulled away and disappeared.
Portkeys are a very convenient means of traveling, the only problem is that traveling with them is not that pleasant.
After recovering from the terrible dizziness, Albert simply set fire to the handkerchief and completely burned it, destroying the body before Apparating away with the suitcase.
Next, it was Harry's turn.
I don't know how his practice of the Fierce Fire Curse is going.
However, at this point, Albert was not so anxious.
"You look like you're finally relieved." Yin Zebel handed over a glass of wine.
"I did something big today."
"To control a goblin?"
"That's a key person." Albert took a big sip and repeated, "A very important guy. I have obtained the key to victory."
"It seems that you have already gathered all the chips leading to this wizard war."
"I guess so. At least even if I leave Harry behind, I am confident that I can end this war. It's just a matter of price."
Albert knew very well that the final victory required the accumulation of little advantages, especially when dealing with a tough guy like Voldemort.
"Maybe we should celebrate." Yin Zebel put his arms around Albert's neck.
"Little Alice?" Albert reminded.
"Don't worry, little Alice is in the study, and we in the future will take good care of her."
"It turned out to be the wisest decision to get the Time Turner."
Albert bent down and picked up Tom Cat from the carpet, put him on the corridor outside the door, closed the door again, leaving the fat cat still yawning with his mouth open.
