The Alchemist of Harry Potter

Chapter 1178: rescue

After Albert returned to the suitcase, Isobel was keenly aware of the subtle changes in her husband, she reached out and grabbed Albert's hand and asked softly: "What's wrong, dear, what happened? "

"Had a little trouble." Albert said lightly.

"Little trouble?" Isobel raised his eyebrows slightly, "I don't think it's a small trouble."

She really knows her husband too well, and if she really encounters a little trouble, she will probably leave it to someone else to solve it.

"Darling, you are still as careful as ever."

Albert reached out and hugged Isobel, kissed her forehead, and reassured, "Don't worry, it's not a big deal, I'll be back soon. By the way, prepare paella for me for dinner."

As he said that, he looked over Isobel's shoulder and looked at Katrina who was pretending to be reading a newspaper, "Help me take care of your sister."

"I will. When you come back, remember to bring me some pearls along the way. It may come in handy when you brew the potion."

Katrina put down the newspaper and said to Albert with a smile.

"It depends."

Albert helped Isobel to sit on the sofa, put the parchment given by Mrs. Daisy and Mrs. Mary on the table, and said hello to Mrs. McDougall before getting ready.

"I hate this." Isobel looked at Albert's back disappearing into the doorway, and muttered softly, "He always likes to go out and take risks, this is not good."

"He's more cautious than anyone else, so don't worry, all you have to do now is to give birth to the baby first, and not worry about other things, my dear sister." Katrina ate an apple and brought the plate to the In front of Isobel, he smiled and said, "Come on, you can eat an apple too. The next few months will be the development period of the child in your belly. You need to exercise properly and replenish your body by the way."

"Hopefully these bad times will come to an end soon."

"You should be well aware that someone doesn't necessarily want these bad times to end soon." Katrina ate another apple.

Yes, Katrina is right, Albert really does not want this era to end like this, and an era of chaos is also an era of opportunity.

After arming himself to the teeth, Albert hurried to the headquarters of the "Defense Association" to join the others.

Fred, George, Lee Jordan and Shanna are all fully armed and ready to go with Albert to rescue Cedric.

"Let's talk, what's going on? I don't think Segrick was suddenly targeted by the Death Eaters!" Albert swept over the four people who were relieved to see him, and threw them at Shanna. Exploring eyes.

"Half an hour ago, we received an alert from Cedric and learned from Truman that Cedric was suspected to be missing. We suspected that Cedric was recruiting members when he encountered the use of Soul Reaper by the Death Eaters. The unfortunate man controlled by the curse, after the incident of the Defense Association was exposed, he was taken away by the Death Eaters."

Shanna quickly told Albert about the current situation. It was impossible for Cedric to send an alarm for no reason. Something must have happened.

"You must have a way to find Cedric, right?"

"Well, there is a way."

Albert took out a crystal ball from the non-marking stretch bag and divination about Cedric's specific situation.

Naturally, Cedric wanted to save him, but he was by no means reckless to avoid being ambushed. Since the Ministry of Magic also began to play conspiracy, the entire magical world has become sinister.

After the fog in the crystal ball dissipated, everyone quickly saw the result they wanted to know from the crystal ball. Cedric was indeed attacked by several dark wizards. He was locked in a hall somewhere at the moment. The whole person seemed to be dying and seemed to be tortured by the Cruciatus.

The faces of the four were not very good-looking.

"Is there a way to find Cedric's location?" George asked.

"I hope he has the pocket watch I prepared for you!" After putting away the crystal ball, Albert took out a special map of England from the seamless stretch bag.

"I think there should be, and we'll all carry it with us at all times!"

"That's good, there is a spell on that thing, and when necessary, I can lock the approximate position of the pocket watch."

Albert chanted a spell and tapped the map of England with his wand. Several red dots appeared on it, and Cedric's location was marked on the map of England.

"How can that pocket watch still be used like this?"

Shanna looked at her pocket watch with surprise, she thought it was just a black magic detector.

"There are also many functions hidden in it. I have never told other people, lest they fall into the hands of the Death Eaters and cause them to know the effect of the pocket watch."

"Why don't we have our names?" George asked in confusion, staring at the map.

"A strong shielding spell has been placed here to ensure that the You-Know-Who and the Death Eaters cannot use the spell to lock our position," Albert explained.

"Are we going to save Cedric now?"

"No, we need to confirm how many people are there first, so as not to be ambushed after passing."

Albert took out a piece of parchment, outlined Cedric's location on it, and used the Footprint Charm on it to see how many people were around.

Under normal circumstances, Death Eaters will choose remote places as temporary strongholds to avoid being targeted by the Ministry of Magic.

The reason is actually very simple, the same as Albert's choice.

Remote places, plus a shielding spell, can generally block tracking from the Ministry of Magic.

Therefore, 80% of the people around Cedric were Death Eaters and their minions.

"Thirteen people, I think it should be the temporary stronghold of those guys." After Lee Jordan carefully counted the ink dots on the map, he looked up at Albert, "The number of enemies is twice ours."

"Twelve, you included Cedric," George corrected.

"It's not too bad."

"Isn't that too bad?" Shanna suddenly looked up at Albert.

"At least Cedric is alive."

"Perhaps, it was your advice that played a role."

George remembered Albert's advice, and now he suddenly understood why Albert wanted them to do that. The most important thing is to save your life first. As for leaking secrets, it is not a problem at all.

After all, there are two headquarters, both of which are protected by the Fierce Loyalty Curse, so there is no need to worry about leaking secrets at all, and as for being controlled by the Imperius Curse, then there is no need to worry.

"Life is more important. As long as you are not stupid, you will not kill people directly."

Albert waved his wand and conjured four pairs of earplugs out of thin air, "I'll let you plug your ears later, remember to do it right away."

"Why didn't I?"

Shanna was a little dissatisfied, she had realized that Albert planned to keep herself at the headquarters.

"We need to stay behind. If the situation is bad, use the other double-sided mirror for emergency contact I left in the safe house, which can get in touch with Dumbledore in the first place." Noticing Shanna's face Dissatisfied, Albert reached out and patted her on the shoulder and said, "Although I don't think that thing will be useful, I need someone to stay just in case, which is also a very difficult task. Help me by the way. Keep an eye on the vicinity to avoid reinforcements during the operation and we don't know anything about it."

"All right!"

Shanna nodded helplessly and agreed to her mission.

"Then please."

After speaking, Albert left the deserted village with a few people, and Apparition appeared in a wilderness.

"here is?"

The three were a little confused, obviously not understanding why Albert brought them here.

"Don't stay around the stronghold, it's easy to find the approximate location, especially the door key, it's easy to be locked by someone." Albert explained while casting illusion and shielding spells on them. Then, he took out his pocket watch from his pocket, tapped it a few times, motioned a few people to grab the chain of the pocket watch, and disappeared by the chain of the pocket watch.

After they regained their feet, they found themselves in the wilderness, ahead of a very remote Muggle hamlet.

"I think it's advisable to suggest that the Ministry of Magic inspect all the abandoned villages in the UK, maybe there will be many hidden dark wizards." George muttered. This kind of place is really not easy to detect.

"There are dementors here."

Albert raised his wand to be vigilant around him, feeling the freezing fog floating in the sky, frowning and reminding, "It seems that we may have run to the lair of those guys."

"What should I do now, is going to change the plan?" George knew very well that in front of the Dementors, no matter how clever the illusion spell was meaningless.

If there is a lot of dementor activity in the place they are going to next, it means that their original plan to sneak in and solve the enemy through sneak attacks may be in vain.

When the number of opponents is three times that of their side, a strong attack is definitely not a good choice. After all, they are here to save people, not to annihilate the enemy.

"According to the original plan, I don't believe that anyone would be willing to stay with Dementors." Albert made a calm judgment. Even Death Eaters would not want to stay too close to Dementors for a long time. .

The three of them have no problem. If there is an accident, it will at most be a sneak attack and a strong attack. They trust Albert's strength very much.

The four cautiously moved towards the village ahead. Albert checked the enemy's location through his pocket watch. The residents of the original village were probably killed.

It wasn't hard for them to find where those people were hiding, because the group of guys didn't hide themselves, the lights were on in the biggest and most comfortable house in the village, and there were screams of pain and the giggling curses of the dark wizards. Voice.

Albert raised his hand to stop the three. He didn't plan to sneak in. God knows when they broke into the village, whether the enemy noticed their arrival, whether they prepared any traps, and planned to smack them, and they were not in the village. Seeing the Dementor was also one of the reasons for Albert's vigilance.
