Chapter 959: An invitation from the Order of the Phoenix

London Airport at night.

Albert and Isobel came here to see their family off.

"You really don't plan to go together?"

Although he had already guessed the answer, Herb couldn't help but ask before leaving.

"No, we are not planning to leave the UK for the time being. Please be careful on the road." Albert hugged his family members before leaving.

"Help to keep an eye on Albert and don't let him do anything wrong." Daisy held Isobel's hand and whispered, "Also, find time to have a child. Anyway, you don't have much pressure, and there are people to help take care of the child."

"I am the one who needs the least worry in the family." Albert complained. He is the one who is most trusted in the family, and these people dare to slander him like this.

"It's because you don't need people to worry that people worry." Nia hasn't forgotten what happened tonight.

"Although Albert is always calm and composed, he is still a big child at heart." Daisy whispered to Isobel, "Sometimes you just need to coax him like a child."

"Ahem, don't listen to their nonsense."

"I know." Isobel covered her mouth and chuckled.

"Here's yours." Albert was too lazy to argue with them. He took out a box from somewhere and handed it to Nia. "The key is the silver card I gave you last time. After you open it, just put the silver card on it."

"Don't let anyone find out. The instruction manual is inside." Albert continued, "There's a gift from me for you, and some beauty potions for you and your mother. There's enough for you to use for many years."

"Thank you." After Nia put the box away, she gave Albert a big hug, kissed his cheek and said, "I knew you were the best to me."

Watching the Anderson family dragging their luggage towards the check-in office, Albert did not leave immediately. Instead, he found a place to eat nearby and chatted with them on his mobile phone until the family boarded the plane to leave the UK.

Isobel rested her head on Albert's shoulder, looked at the plane flying away overhead and said, "They're gone!"

"Yes, they left!" Albert retracted his gaze and turned his head to look at Isobel: "Let's go back. We are a little tired today."

"Well, go home!"

The two quietly walked towards the deserted alley and disappeared without any warning.

While Albert and Isobel were enjoying a moment of peace at home, Hogwarts School was still in chaos.

The furious Fudge brought Aurors and Dementors to seek revenge.

However, he came to nothing. No one knew where Albert was, and Dumbledore was nowhere to be found. According to Snape, Dumbledore had gone to rescue Harry.

The whole school is now in chaos. Deputy Headmistress Professor McGonagall is still lying on the hospital bed in the school, along with Professor Flitwick and two other warriors who are also under the control of the Imperius Curse. The dying Professor Moody has also been found and is now being cared for by Madam Pomfrey.

Fudge also received a shocking piece of news. The fake Moody was Barty Crouch Jr. After being fed the truth serum, he confessed everything. He planned to take Harry away in order to resurrect Voldemort, and it might have succeeded now.

Resurrect Voldemort

Oh my god, this is such a joke.

This would destroy all his efforts over the years, which was something Fudge could not accept and would never admit.

Because he knew very well what the consequences would be if he admitted it.

Of course, Fudge knew very well that no one could lie after taking Veritaserum, and he couldn't believe what would happen once Barty Crouch Jr. was brought to the Wizengamot Court for trial.

This must be stopped.

Fortunately, this is not a difficult task.

Fudge took advantage of Dumbledore's absence and had the Dementors search the entire castle, where they found Barty Crouch Jr., who was imprisoned and guarded by Hagrid.

The next step was simple. Fudge had the Dementors give Barty Crouch Jr. a fatal kiss to ensure that he would never have the chance to do anything that might harm the wizarding world again.

As long as Barty Crouch Jr. could not be brought to trial in the Wizengamot Court, Dumbledore would not be able to convince anyone else, because a dead person could not prove that Voldemort had been resurrected.

However, before Fudge had time to be happy about his own wit, he heard the news that Harry Potter had returned, and the famous savior seemed to have suffered terrible torture.

Not long after, Dumbledore brought back the news that Voldemort had been resurrected, and provided Scrimgeour with the address where Voldemort had been resurrected, which almost made Fudge angry.

That night, both sides had a very unpleasant argument, and Fudge and Dumbledore were finally driven out of the school hospital by Madam Pomfrey, who could no longer tolerate them.

But... what does this have to do with him, Albert Anderson

The next day, after a good night's rest, Albert returned to Hogwarts to clean up the mess. As soon as he appeared in Hogwarts Castle, he was admired by countless people, not because he won the Triwizard Tournament for Hogwarts, but because he not only saw through Barty Crouch Jr.'s disguise, but also fought back in the opponent's trap and overturned everyone.

They were the notorious Death Eaters, as well as two professors and two warriors from the school. Normally, people would be dead if faced with such a situation. Just look at Harry Potter who was kidnapped without any resistance.

Everyone was eager to know how Albert turned the tide in desperate situations and how he defeated five people by himself.

"As we all know, there are problems with Potter becoming the fourth warrior." Facing everyone's questions, Albert said indifferently, "Someone wants to harm Potter. The third task is their last chance. Since they know there may be a dark wizard in the maze, those who are still not careful deserve to die."

"After I entered the maze, I no longer trusted other people, at least in the maze." Albert explained, "Because I know that the person who kidnapped Potter definitely doesn't want the third task to end soon, so that person will definitely attack other warriors."

"Until I encountered an ambush by Miss Delacour. She used the Disillusionment Charm to hide and tried to attack me, but I found and subdued her."

"Then, as soon as Mr. Krum saw me, he threw the Avada Kedavra curse at me, and I realized that he wanted to kill me."

Facing the shocked students, Albert said calmly, "The two unsuccessful sneak attacks made me realize that there was something wrong with Professor Moody, because only his magic eye could find my location, and the fact that he dared to attack me meant that he had dealt with the other patrolling professors."

"In fact, he wanted to surround me, but I conquered the maze faster than he expected, which caused a loophole in the encirclement." Albert continued under the awe-inspiring gazes of the surrounding students, "I also realized this, so I took the initiative to go back and cause trouble for him and catch him off guard. The plan was successful."

"How did you find the fake Professor Moody?" a Hufflepuff girl couldn't help but ask.

"If you knew the tracking spell, you wouldn't ask this question. The impostor obviously forgot to cast an anti-tracking spell on himself." Albert shrugged and said, "I found him, disrupted his rhythm, and subdued him completely. To be honest, that guy is quite dangerous and likes to cast the Avada Kedavra curse randomly."

Although Albert spoke lightly, no one could laugh. They had not forgotten the scene when Albert walked out of the maze last night. His murderous look shocked many people. Even the Minister of Magic and the Director of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement were disarmed by him.

This sturdy strength, smart brain, brave and decisive style of work inspires awe and admiration.

Albert was unable to finish the story in the maze because someone passed him a note. Under the resentful gaze of everyone, Albert walked towards the principal's office.

After knocking on the wooden door of the principal's office, Albert found that the person who opened the door for him was Sirius Black.

"Thank you for saving Harry." Sirius was very grateful for Albert's suggestion. No one expected that the socks Black gave to Harry turned out to be a door key.

"No, it was the headmaster who saved Harry," said Albert.

"You are always so humble." Dumbledore appeared out of nowhere.

"I heard that you had a quarrel with Fudge last night?" Albert asked, changing the subject.

"Fudge doesn't want to admit Voldemort's affairs. He is too obsessed with his own power." Dumbledore shook his head and said, "I can't convince him."

"Sometimes, even if you know it's wrong, you still have to be right. This is politics." Albert said calmly, "Fudge is a coward. He can't bear the fact that the mysterious man has been resurrected. The wizards in the entire Ministry of Magic can't bear it either, because no one is willing to believe it and watch their beautiful life become a mess. So, this matter can only be said by you?"

"You always see things so clearly." Dumbledore smiled and handed a bag of Galleons to Albert. "By the way, I'm afraid you can't count on your prize money or the championship award ceremony."

Albert didn't care about it. He took the purse and put it in his pocket. Then he asked the question that concerned him more: "Where did the mysterious man resurrect? Next to the grave of old Tom Riddle?"

"No, I was lying in ambush around Riddle's grave all night last night." Sirius borrowed the invisibility cloak from Harry and wanted to ambush Peter, but the guy didn't show up.

"In a very remote place. Perhaps because he was worried about an accident, Voldemort had Peter dig up Old Tom's bones a long time ago." Dumbledore suddenly asked, "You are very concerned about this matter."

"I'm just curious if the future I see will change," Albert explained.

"Honestly, seeing Harry being teleported away suddenly really scared both Voldemort and I. Who would have thought that the socks he was wearing were portkeys?" Dumbledore said in a joking tone. It was just that their thoughts jumped too fast, making Sirius a little unable to keep up with their conversation.

"Even You-Know-Who wouldn't check Potter's socks or underwear to see if they were portkeys!"

"I dare say no one has ever done this before."

"He is the savior after all. He has good luck." Albert suddenly said, "By the way, I plan to hide. Do you mind if I take a house-elf from the Hogwarts kitchen?"

"Dobby?"

"No, the other one."

"If you can get its consent, I have no objection, but this is not a good example." Dumbledore was a little disappointed. He knew that Albert had clearly rejected his invitation.

"By the way, Albert, do you want to join the Order of the Phoenix?" Seeing that Dumbledore did not invite Albert, Sirius asked on his behalf.

"A secret organization specifically established to fight Voldemort?" Albert asked back.

"That's right." Sirius nodded, "Dumbledore founded it."

"Are you also a member of it?" Albert continued to ask.

"right."

Sirius felt that if Albert joined the Order of the Phoenix, it would give them a great advantage.

"I will not join a strange society that I know nothing about, even if it looks good."

"You should trust Dumbledore." Sirius never expected that Albert would refuse.

"Of course I trust Professor Dumbledore, but I trust my own judgment more. I know exactly what will happen next and can provide you with some help, but... Excuse me, where is your headquarters?" Albert suddenly asked.

"Number 12, Grimmauld Place, Dumbledore, you can use it, I don't mind." Sirius remembered that the Order of the Phoenix did not have a headquarters yet, so he turned and said to Dumbledore.

"It seems that you haven't even prepared a place for the gathering." Albert shook his head and said, "A hastily established organization is not reliable. It is like a sieve. There are not even any secrets."

He raised his hand to interrupt Sirius and continued, "I know the Order of the Phoenix once existed, but this is what it is now. Especially when your opponent is a lunatic like You-Know-Who, it is even more dangerous. Without strict and reliable protection, your members will be as fragile as paper. The Dark Mark may float above their homes at any time. Don't count on You-Know-Who's mercy. The greatest mercy he can show is probably to use the Avada Kedavra curse to send people away."

There was an eerie silence in the principal's office.

"Peter Pettigrew was also a member of your team, right?" Albert suddenly asked.

"right."

Sirius said this almost through gritted teeth.

"When the lives of his family are in the hands of a mysterious person, he will betray his best friend in order to keep himself and his family alive." Albert kindly reminded, "What if a second Peter appears? You are not even prepared for anything, and you have made many mistakes."

"This is a war, not a child's game."

"We know this is a war," Sirius said irritably.

"No, you don't know. Don't think your opponent is too stupid, and don't be a fool like Fudge, who actually brought political thinking into this matter. The You-Know-Who is not a politician, but a dark wizard who advocates the possession of great power. His style is to kill the Minister of Magic if he is disobedient and replace him with an obedient puppet."

"I will not let that happen," Dumbledore said firmly.

"Cornelly Fudge is no less troublesome than Voldemort's puppets," Albert said meaningfully. "If I were you, I would find a way to get him out and replace him with Amelia Bones. I remember that she has a grudge against Voldemort, and it's not small. She is more suitable than others."

Sirius was stunned by Albert's words. He never expected that this man was actually going to fire Fudge directly and replace him with a new minister.

"That's difficult." Dumbledore shook his head.

"No, it's not difficult." Albert looked at Dumbledore deeply and said, "Fudge will be gone by next year at the latest, but you can make him go away earlier, before he causes more trouble."

"You seem to dislike Fudge very much?" Sirius asked curiously.

"A guy who holds us back, believe me, no one likes him."

Before turning away, Albert pulled a two-way mirror from his pocket and handed it to Dumbledore.

"If there's anything, you can contact me through this. I can help you with a little bit, but some things are better left alone!"

"Did you know that he wouldn't join?" Sirius picked up the two-sided mirror, looked at Dumbledore and asked.

"No, I don't know, but you always have to try your luck. Sometimes, as long as you are willing to give something, you can usually get something in return." Dumbledore said meaningfully, "Mr. Anderson has always been a simple and easy-to-understand person."
