  Chapter 1257 Advice

  The ship stopped in the waters outside France. Isobel on the deck reached out and brushed the hair that was blown by the sea wind, and turned to look at her husband.

   "You still can't seem to let go of the British side."

"No way, people always hope that the future will develop in the direction they want, but the future is always full of unknowns." Albert looked at the towering cliff in front of him and murmured, "Even if I can predict the future, it is not impossible Impossible."

  Ebert actually felt that it might be better to let nature take its course, but he had already put in so much effort for this, as long as he continued to persist for a while, a bright future was in front of him, and he would never allow himself to relax at critical moments.

   "Shouldn't we continue to live on the ship?"

  Katrina, wearing a beige casual dress, came out of the cabin, together with Mrs. McDougal, and beside her was a house elf carrying a familiar suitcase.

   "We want to temporarily borrow a friend's house." Albert smiled and explained to a few people, "The therapist has already communicated, and there is no problem."

   "Are you sure your friend is reliable?"

  Katrina was surprised that Albert was willing to trust others, and was even more curious about the friend he said.

   On the contrary, Isobel next to him was very calm, as if he had already understood what was going on.

   "You also know him, he is here."

  Albert leaves the deck and Apparates above the cliff.

   "Welcome to France."

  Bud was wearing trendy Muggle casual clothes, greeted Albert with a smile, and gave him a big hug.

   "Thank you, Bud, thanks to your help this time." Albert thanked Bud for his help.

   "You're welcome, even without me, you are already prepared."

  Bud looked at the ordinary sea ship, nodded and said, "I dare say, as long as you hide in the sea, no one will be able to find you."

  Albert just smiled, acquiescing to Bard's words, that ship is indeed his last guarantee.

  When the house elf appeared next to him with the box, Albert waved his magic wand and directly put the entire ship into the magic bottle.

   "It seems that you have gone further than everyone else." Bud retracted his gaze from looking at the magic bottle, and said with a smile, "We should go."

   After speaking, Bud took Albert and the house elf Apparation and left.

When the two reappeared, they came to a suburb, and the villa Bud prepared for them was here. Although it looked a bit old, it could be seen that someone lived here, and the villa Well taken care of.

   There is no doubt that Bud lived here before.

   "Mogg is the secret keeper here." Bud introduced to several people, "However, he is not in Europe for the time being, and it will be difficult to find him for a while, so you don't have to worry about leaking secrets."

Mrs. McDougall looked at Bud secretly, and then looked at the villa in front of her that was protected by the Fidelity Curse, guessing that their relationship with Albert was obviously very close. Otherwise, with Albert's caution, it is very likely that Let them live directly on the boat.

"go in!"

  A house elf bowed to everyone, and took the initiative to lead several people to their respective rooms to rest.

   "I heard that Dumbledore is dead?"

  Bud and Albert sat alone in the living room and chatted, and mentioned Dumbledore's death casually. The old man seemed to feel a little regretful about not being able to send Dumbledore off. Anyway, he was still an old friend of his.

   "Well, he died, and the situation was a bit complicated."

   Albert briefly told Bard about the situation at the time.

   "Dumbledore is still as cruel as ever, and he will not spare himself even when he is so hard."

  When he heard that Dumbledore deliberately asked Snape to kill him, Bard's face trembled slightly, and he couldn't help feeling the old friend's cruelty.

   "I tried to persuade him." Albert shook his head lightly, "But it failed, otherwise he could live for a few more years, and the situation wouldn't have gotten so bad."

"It's useless, most people are actually hard to persuade, let alone Dumbledore, that guy is good at persuading others." Bud was not surprised by this, despite Dumbledore's easy-going manner but that guy's temper is as hard as a rock, it is impossible to be easily persuaded by others, especially what he firmly believes, otherwise how could he take his own life to plot against the mysterious person without blinking an eye? .

  Based on the personality and cognition of the mysterious man, it is estimated that it will be difficult to see through Dumbledore's plots and arrangements in this life.

   "It can only be said that most geniuses are like this."

  Albert doesn’t deny it either, at least he won’t easily make changes based on a few words from others, because they are more willing to believe in their own judgment.

   "What happened to England after his death?"

  Bud took a sip of iced juice and chatted about topics of interest to him.

"The situation is not very good. The Mysterious Man and his minions will soon dominate the family." Albert looked at Bard and reminded, "It is best not to return to the UK until this wizarding war is over. It's going to be a mess soon."

   "It seems that the Ministry of Magic is going to end?" Bud was a little surprised by this. "I thought the Ministry of Magic could continue for a while, but I didn't expect it to be worse than expected."

   "It's thanks to Fudge, that guy messed up the entire Ministry of Magic before he left office. When Scrimgeour took over the Ministry of Magic, it was already very good that he didn't explode on the spot."

  Albert knew too well what the Ministry of Magic was like. Scrimgeour was able to stabilize the Ministry of Magic more because of the reputation brought by the fight against Death Eaters and dark wizards, forcibly suppressing the internal contradictions of the Ministry of Magic, and unanimously external.

   "What a pity Scrimgeour."

  Bad didn't continue this topic. He obviously knew the situation of the Ministry of Magic very well, and what role Albert played in it.

   "I reminded him, but he obviously doesn't want to be a deserter." Albert took a sip from his teacup: "However, I think he should be mentally prepared when he becomes a minister."

"Well, even if he is willing to give up, those purebloods will not let him go easily." Bud shook his head and said, "Don't forget, so many dark wizards and Death Eaters were killed by Scrimgeour, and they also have Relatives, friends, family."

   "I understand what you mean." Albert nodded in understanding, "Do you think that group of pure-blood families will hate me because of this?"

"The connection between them may be deeper than you expected." Bard reminded kindly, "This is also the reason why many pure-blood wizards have no fear. They have more choices. They were controlled by the Imperius Curse back then. And those Death Eaters were not the only ones who escaped unharmed."

"Unexpectedly, but the mysterious man is not what they thought." Albert said meaningfully, "I know very well that the reason for their fearlessness is their pure blood, but the mysterious man is not Grindelwald either. To him, the Dead Apostles are just tools and servants, who can be sacrificed at any time when necessary, and the Malfoy family is a ready-made example, and sooner or later they will be severely injured."

"You can see more clearly than I do, but you still have to be careful. Although you are more secretive, the world never lacks smart people, and your identity is not their own for some people." Bard shook reminded.

   "I don't serve in the Ministry of Magic, let alone the Ministry of Magic is about to collapse."

   "I remember that you predicted that this war would not last long."

"Well, after the mysterious people control the Ministry of Magic and Hogwarts, their power will soon reach its peak. Death eaters and dark wizards have never been safe guys, and it is only a matter of time before they flourish and decline. and the process is very fast." Albert's eyes seemed to see through the future, "Dumbledore put everything on Harry, and we just need to wait patiently, waiting for the mysterious man to turn back into a mortal That's it."

"It seems that you have found the weakness of the mysterious person. Is the person who executes the plan the savior?" Bud was a little surprised, but soon thought of the reason, nodded and said: "Harry Potter is indeed more suitable, although I Don't really agree with putting everything on someone... but let's hope he can successfully solve the You-Know-Who problem."

   “I believe he can do it, and I hope he can.”

  Bad looked at Albert, shook his lower lip and said, "Although I don't know what agreement you made with Dumbledore, nothing is more important than being alive."

   "I know exactly what I'm doing." Albert smiled confidently, "I'm just waiting. You have to be patient in everything."

"That's good."

  Bad seemed to think of something again, and suddenly said: "Since you came to France, I plan to leave France for a while, and you should have contacted the therapist!"

   "Well, I've got in touch with her."

"That's good."

  Bard quickly left with the house-elf. He planned to go to Spain and let himself disappear for a while.

"he's gone?"

  Katrina looked at Bud's leaving back, then looked at Albert and said, "You have such a good relationship, I always feel that you are hiding some big secret."

   "Are you curious?" Albert asked with raised eyebrows.

   "Does sister know?" Katrina asked.

   "Isobel is very smart and guessed it right away." Albert said with a smile, "So, don't expect me to tell you."

   "I never counted on that."

  Katrina rolled her eyes and didn't continue to dwell on this matter.

   "I'm more concerned about whether it's really safe here?"

   "It's more convenient here. Although it does take some risks, the risks are not high." Albert knew very well that the only risk was the therapist, but he had tried his best to ensure that the therapist was reliable.

"Unless the mysterious person comes after him personally, but that possibility is not high. Most of that guy's thoughts should be on controlling the British Ministry of Magic recently. With the help of Scrimgeour and the Ministry of Magic to attract his attention, that guy is temporarily No interest in following us."

  Of course, Albert also made more than one layer of protection.

   "Scrimgeour is unlucky."

  Katrina suspected that the other party was cheated by Albert.

   "That's what he chose, and he can't blame others."
