Chapter 965: Just in case 1
"Who's out there?"
Hearing a knock on the door downstairs, Katrina subconsciously stuck her head out of the window to see who was knocking on the door. Under normal circumstances, few people come to the house, but there is no one at the door.
Katrina seemed to think of something, only felt chills all over her body, regretting her reckless actions just now, she quickly grabbed the wand on the table, and while she was relieved, she pricked up her ears to listen to the surrounding sounds.
Is there someone downstairs?
"Who will it be?"
The red-haired girl raised her vigilance. Since Isabel didn't know where to go with Albert, she was left alone in the huge family most of the time.
Suddenly a stranger came to the door, and it was impossible for Katrina not to panic, because Isobel had told her that Albert's removal of a Death Eater in the labyrinth of the third project was likely to provoke The revenge of the "Mysterious Man" minions.
It stands to reason that even if the mysterious man wants to take revenge on Albert Anderson, what does it have to do with his family?
Whoever made Anderson's family emigrate overseas, even Voldemort would find it difficult to find Albert's family across continents, and Isobel McDougall was the only one who had a relationship with Albert.
Although the two sides are currently only boyfriend and girlfriend relationship, but who knows if they will be implicated?
It's really hard to say how low the bottom line between the mysterious man and his minions is.
It was eerily silent below the stairs, Katrina was hesitating to retreat temporarily, she was currently occupying favorable terrain (stairs) and could use Apparition to retreat at any time.
While Katrina was hesitating, some noises suddenly came from the hall, which aroused Katrina's vigilance.
However, what puzzled her was that the intruder did not go upstairs, but went to the hall.
"Not the enemy?"
If not the minions of the mysterious man, who is it?
Katrina couldn't think of anyone who would come to their house at this time. If it was her mother, she would definitely not knock on the door.
The other party doesn't seem to be hostile, could it be that Isobel is back?
After hesitating for a while, Katrina finally quietly used the Disillusionment Charm on herself, planning to sneak downstairs to see what was going on.
After she gripped her wand tightly, she tiptoed downstairs and quietly touched the hall.
Then, Katrina was stunned.
An oddly dressed house elf was standing at the entrance of the hall, holding a piece of parchment in its left hand, a wand in the other, and a familiar suitcase beside it, but for some reason, it always gave The illusion of a house-elf in front of you ready to run away with a suitcase.
The house-elf in front of him seemed to be confirming something, staring at the parchment in his hand, stuffing it back into his cloak-like pocket, and saying to the corridor outside the hall, "Please don't be nervous, Miss Katrina."
Yep, the house-elves seem pretty sure they're around.
After speaking, the house-elf raised his wand and waved it gently towards the window, and the originally open window closed abruptly.
"Who are you?"
As soon as Katrina spoke, she saw that the curtains in the hall were also closed, and the originally dim hall was completely plunged into darkness.
It didn't take long for the lights in the hall to light up again, but there were two more familiar figures in the field of vision.
"What the **** are you doing?" Katrina breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the two of them, lowered her wand, and stared angrily at the two of them in front of her.
"Be careful, it's never a bad thing."
Albert quickly glanced at his wrist, as if confirming something.
"Kara, I'm sorry to bother you with dinner," Isobel said to the house-elf.
"Okay, Mistress, I'll leave dinner to Carla." The house-elf opened the suitcase and happily went to work on what he liked.
"hostess?"
Katrina noticed the house elf's name just now, the expression on her face became strange, and her eyes moved back and forth between the two.
House-elves are so efficient that dinner is ready in no time.
For safety reasons, Albert insisted on enjoying dinner in the box, while waiting for Mrs. McDougall to return. Although Isobel had notified her mother in advance, she did not know when the other party would return home.
"Why are you hiding in the box?"
Looking around at Katrina's door, she was surprised to find that the place had changed a lot, it was like a small manor.
What's even more surprising is that Katrina still saw the steaming hot springs, which she hadn't seen the last time she came in.
"Of course it's for safety reasons." Albert reminded solemnly, "Last night, a famous Death Eater appeared near my house. You should be able to guess the reason without me saying it!"
"How did you know?" Katrina was stunned, "Didn't you already hide?"
"They triggered the alarm, those guys don't know yet, I already know about it." Albert's tone was flat, as if it was a trivial matter to be taken care of by a dark wizard.
Perhaps, he had expected this to happen from the beginning!
"You came to me to..." Katrina asked suspiciously.
"Change to a safe place for you." Albert said directly,
Hearing Albert's proposal, Katrina shook her head and said, "Are you kidding? Mom won't agree."
"It's not safe here anymore."
"You should know your mother's character better than I do."
Katrina looked at Isobel and wanted her to come out to stop Albert's mischief.
"You have to try everything, and what you did just now was wrong. In this case, you shouldn't come down to check, but you should hide. Even if you want to find out who is below, the method is wrong." Albert looked at eating Tom, who took a nap after dinner, corrected Katrina's mistakes.
"What method?" Katrina raised her eyebrows.
"The Tragedy Curse."
"What is that?" Katrina asked in confusion, she didn't know what the spell was.
"A spell that can be marked on the map." Isobel explained gently, "There are people around, just look at the map."
"That's why the house-elf looks at the parchment?" Katrina found the parchment and saw the ink dots on the map marked the names of the house-elf Kara and the three of them.
"Yes." Albert reminded, "Even through spells or potion disguise, you can't hide the Humanity Charm, unless you use a strong shielding spell on yourself, but only a highly skilled wizard can do it, believe me, I don't know. The mysterious man of love and his minions will certainly not be on guard."
"Well, it's really practical this way."
GuKatrina felt that Fake Moody's loss was not wrong at all, and it was no wonder that Albert was able to defeat Fake Moody and his helpers. It turned out that the other party had always planned to ambush him under Albert's eyes.
Despite the advance notice, Mrs. McDougall was still working late at St Mungo's Hospital for Magical Injuries and Injuries, looking tired.
However, when he saw Albert and his daughters emerging from the suitcase, he was not too surprised, but he was more interested in the house-elf dinner.
"So, you want me to find a place to hide like your family?" Mrs. McGonagall asked after listening to Albert's story while eating paella.
"right."
Albert admitted, although he knew it would be rude to say so.
"You predicted that the mysterious person would attack me?" As soon as Mrs. McGonagall finished speaking, the atmosphere in the hall became very depressed.
"I didn't try to predict, but I don't think I should believe in the integrity of mysterious people. No matter what those people do, I won't find it strange." Although Albert knew that the chances of success were rare, he still had to try.
"I have my own job and I won't hide it," said Mrs. McGonagall, shaking her head.
"Maybe, you can change your job temporarily, such as writing a book that teaches people to treat magical injuries." Albert suggested sincerely: "I know it's rude to say this, but I think you also experienced the first wizarding war. , it was clear what was going on and this time it was going to be worse."
"worse?"
"The Ministry of Magic will collapse and be controlled by You-Know-Who. I'm worried that they will implicate you because of my relationship." Albert did not hide it, "The Death Eaters were empty at my hometown yesterday."
"Death Eater, are you sure?"
"I'm sure that even if I can strengthen the defenses around the house, it's not safe, and powerful wizards can easily crack them." Albert paused for a moment and continued: "Even if you live in another place, it's not safe. If you eat death If the disciples want to catch you, they will rush into the St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Injuries and Injuries to catch you."
"Is the situation so bad?" Mrs. McGonagall frowned deeply.
"Not yet, but it will be hard to say after a while." Albert reminded.
"Why didn't you and Isobel leave the UK?" Mrs McDoug never worried about her safety.
"We are very safe. Others don't even know the specific location of the town we settled in. Even if they do, there is nothing they can do. The Fierce Loyalty Charm can ensure that no one can find us." Isobel comforted.
Mrs. McDougall looked at Albert, "It seems that you are ready."
"Yes." Albert admitted directly: "If the situation is not good, I will leave the UK with Isobel. The way back is ready."
"Then I'm relieved." Mrs. McDougall knew that Albert's arrangement was entirely for her safety, but... she didn't plan to give up her current job.
"I'm not going to hide," she said, looking at her daughter. "But you can arrange a safe place for Katrina, and the ones I'm most worried about are their sisters."
"Mom!" Katrina frowned in dissatisfaction, she would not leave her mother and hide.
"Albert is right. If the mysterious man makes a comeback, you'd better find a place to hide." Mrs. McDougall looked at Katrina and said, "Anyway, you are boring at home, and you are also Not safe. Don't blame Albert, I've been through the first wizarding war and I know what it was like, and a lot of your loved ones died because of it, maybe it's best to go into hiding and stay away from right and wrong."
"how about you?"
"Death Eaters rarely kill pure-blooded wizards who remain neutral." Mrs. McDougall was very precise. Albert seemed to reveal everything, but he didn't reveal anything. Even if he was caught, nothing could be squeezed out. useful information. "
When necessary, Mrs. McDougall could favor pure blood, as for her daughter's impending marriage to a Muggle wizard?
Mrs. McDougall will tell everyone that Albert is actually an heir to a famous surname, but the two sides have had a bad time and changed their surname.
Is this wrong?
That's right.
"What about the three meals?" Katrina was still struggling.
"I can handle it myself," said Mrs. McDougall. "Don't forget, I brought you up."
"I can ask the house-elves to help solve it," Albert came up with a prepared backup plan, "but I still suggest you live in another place temporarily. If someone invades this place, we will know as soon as possible and respond accordingly. The plan, as for the house, I'm ready."
Katrina glared at Albert, knowing that the man in front of her had thought about all the problems.
"Katrina, go pack up and leave with Isobel tonight!" Mrs. McDougall said to Isobel, "Take care of your sister."
"I will." Isobel said seriously.
It didn't take long for the house-elf to Apparate and leave with a suitcase in hand.
Looking at the empty hall, Mrs. McDougall sighed softly, her eyes fell on the photo in the frame, listening to the music on the radio, closing the Wizard Weekly in her hand, and slowly closing her eyes.
"Here we are?"
Coming out of the box, Katrina found herself in a dilapidated house~www.mtlnovel.com~ Apparition is forbidden here, only house-elves can go directly here, so don't worry about being tracked. "
After Albert checked that no one else was around, he greeted a few people to follow.
"Be careful."
Katrina knew that Apparitions could be tracked.
But... Apparating directly to an area where Apparition is prohibited would be very pitiful.
God knows what will happen.
When Katrina followed, she found herself in a remote place, no wonder Albert would say that no one knew the location.
"follow me!"
Albert raised his wand and introduced Katrina: "This place is completely deserted, and there will be no Muggles to disturb us."
"Of course, as long as no one knows we're here, no one can find us, and..."
Albert took out a silver card and handed it to Katrina, saying: "Without getting the secret, we won't be able to find where we live."
As he said that, he raised his glowing wand and leaned over to let Katrina see the words on the silver card: "Keep in mind the content above, don't read it out, and think about the words you saw in your heart."
"The Rose Manor is located in the small town of Quimper."
Just when Katrina was thinking about the contents on the silver card, a house that was not small suddenly appeared in front of her. It looked like it had just been repaired, but she could still tell that the house was quite old.
"If you have anything to go in and talk about." Albert opened the door and walked in first.
"It's just that this can also be considered a manor?" Katrina's eyes fell on the door number of the Rose Manor, she was pulled into the house by Isobel, the house elf closed the door at the end, and the room disappeared again, as if never appeared.
