  Chapter 1256 Shuffle

  In the conference room of the Defense Association headquarters, Albert was holding an impromptu meeting. The members of the Defense Association who came to attend the meeting could clearly feel the oppressive atmosphere on the scene.

   "I think you should all be aware that the You-Know-Who and the Death Eaters are expanding their power unscrupulously, and many Muggles have become innocent victims of the Death Eaters."

  Albert sat at the head of the round table, talking a bunch of nonsense nonsense.

"I had anticipated the current situation a long time ago, but it is also a very helpless thing." Albert raised his hand to stop the noise and signaled everyone to keep quiet, "After Dumbledore died suddenly, no one else It can make the mysterious person feel life-threatening, and his behavior will no longer be as scrupulous and restrained as before."

   "Can't even you?" Lee Jordan knew how powerful Albert was.

"I've never been so arrogant as to think that I can make the mysterious person worry." Albert shook his head and said, "Now is an inevitable process, and the collapse of the Ministry of Magic is already a matter of time. You must be prepared for the impact .”

   "But the Ministry of Magic... how could it suddenly collapse?"

  Angelina was very shocked and confused by Albert's prediction. She really couldn't understand why such a Ministry of Magic would collapse.

"This kind of thing is normal, because the Ministry of Magic has become a hindrance to the mysterious man." Albert tapped his finger on the table lightly to attract everyone's attention, "If Scrimgeour has Dumbledore's level, The Ministry of Magic will be safe and sound."

   "It's a pity that Scrimgeour is just a relatively powerful Auror, and he is not enough to look good in front of the mysterious man, so it is only a matter of time before the Ministry of Magic is controlled by the mysterious man."

This is undoubtedly a very cruel thing. When the rules do not work well, the Ministry of Magic, which originally had the upper hand, will not have any advantage. Especially when their fists are not strong enough, it is normal for them to be completely replaced by Voldemort .

  Of course, Scrimgeour also realized this, so he always wanted to seek Albert's help.

  As long as Albert is willing to help the Ministry of Magic, he will definitely be able to block the pressure from the mysterious person, but what good is this laborious and thankless task for Albert?

  How many more panel tasks?

   By the way, kill yourself to get a wave of Voldemort's hatred?

  It would have to be stupid to do that.

   Being caught in the head by the door, I don’t have that kind of thing.

  Albert felt that his mind was normal, and he had no interest in being such an idiot, let alone turning himself into a knife of the Ministry of Magic.

  He would not do such a fearless thing as confronting the mysterious person head-on, because he knew too well what the Ministry of Magic politicians were.

  They can use the so-called righteousness to bind others without any worries, and they will not be soft when stabbing their own people.

   How Scrimgeour died in the end, Albert did not forget.

   How many of the so-called high-level Ministry of Magic controlled by Death Eaters did not follow the trend.

   At first, it may be really controlled by the Imperius Curse, but time will seriously weaken the effect of the Imperius Curse, especially for those who can climb to the top, the average level is basically not too bad.

   Without Voldemort's level, it is impossible to control them for a long time, let alone a group of people.

  In Albert's view, the reshuffle of the Ministry of Magic's downfall is a necessary process.

  If the entire magic world wants to change, it needs bloodshed and sacrifice after all, and it will never change due to personal will.

  Even Dumbledore can't do it, let alone Albert himself. He will never be so stupid and arrogant as to think that he can do it on his own.

   Grindelwald, who tried to challenge the authority of the magic world last time, is still locked in Nurmengadry.

   Now that Voldemort is doing it for him, why bother to charge forward?

   It takes a lot of brain fragments to make it.

   It is true that Voldemort is not really a reformer, but he can definitely mess up the entire wizarding world. Only chaos can create opportunities, which is very important.

  As for Voldemort's tragic death in the end, it has nothing to do with Albert.

   It should be said that the whole matter has nothing to do with Albert. At most, he just followed the trend and reaped the most benefits from it. Even everyone would only be grateful for his contribution in the fight against Voldemort.

  Albert himself does not pursue anything, but his followers do. The connection between interests is closer and more reliable than anything else.

   And those positions always need someone to make room for the latecomers.

   Otherwise, why would Hermione be able to sit on the throne of the Minister of Magic in the end?

   Just because he is the savior's partner?

  Thinking like that, that's really not ordinary naivety.

  The upper limit of the entire wizarding world's tolerance for Muggle wizards is actually the same, and Albert himself feels more deeply than anyone else.

  He was able to break through the blockade of those invisible ceilings, it was all because he was cheating.

  If the entire magical world doesn’t experience enough suffering and a large number of people don’t fall down, the people from the Ministry of Magic will continue to occupy those pits like **** people occupying the latrines.

  So, he gave up Scrimgeour and chose to stand on the sidelines.

  Because that is the best choice right now.

"When the Mysterious Man and the Death Eaters completely occupy the Ministry of Magic, they will control various newspapers in the UK, and declare Muggle wizards illegal and persecute them." Albert said the creepy words lightly, " At that time, Azkaban should be able to work normally again, and it will be used to detain Muggle wizards who have been arrested."

   "You mean..."

  Everyone was speechless by Albert's prediction.

"As for excuses, even if you think about it with your knees, you can find a bunch of them at random. Don't take any chances." Albert looked around the crowd and said, "Don't use your normal thinking to try to understand the mysterious person, that's not appropriate. .”

   "What are those guys trying to do?"

   "Perhaps, they want to establish a country where pure-blood wizards are respected. Of course, Death Eaters are the most honored, and the rest will be the targets of oppression."

   "That sounds ridiculous."

"Yes, but can't you expect the Death Eaters to come up with a better way?" Albert's tone was full of sarcasm: "They don't really care about this, they only care about the status they can get and interests."

"I have to say that there is something wrong with the vision of those guys." Shanna shook her head, "They are still stuck in the old-fashioned way of thinking, maybe they can oppress other people through threats and other methods, but I don't think This kind of thing can last for a long time, we are not the serfs who were oppressed but unable to resist in the old days."

"The magic world may never lack resistance, but we have to admit that most wizards are weak." Albert shook his head, "Otherwise, what they need is not a savior, but a weapon that can completely crush the Death Eater." An Auror army of outlaws and You-Know-Who."

  In fact, Albert also tried, but Dumbledore obviously believed that the wizarding world needed a savior more.

  None of them could convince anyone, so in the end Albert gave in, because he knew very well that it was useless for him not to back down.

   Who let Dumbledore die.

   "We will all stand up against the You-Know-Who."

"Yes, all of us here will stand up, which is undoubtedly a gratifying thing." Albert said with satisfaction, "But before that, we still need to lurk and wait patiently, and we need to absorb more in secret. Let more members join us and continuously increase our strength, rather than rushing to die."

"Of course, I am referring to the peripheral members." Albert solemnly reminded, "The Mysterious Man and the Death Eaters have never given up on finding our whereabouts. Maybe they will finally figure out what the Defense Association is, but we must try our best to It may delay the arrival of the day, and buy enough time for yourselves to become stronger."

   "You can do something, right."

  Everyone looked at Albert expectantly.

"There is a saying that prosperity must decline. The power of the mysterious man and the Death Eaters will soon reach its peak, and they will not be far from weakening." Albert looked around the crowd and continued, "This means that the second time The Wizarding Wars won't last long."

   "Harry Potter will defeat the mysterious man?" Someone couldn't help but ask again, they couldn't wait to get the answer from Albert so that they could feel at ease.

"Maybe, we all hope that Harry can defeat the mysterious man, and I believe he can do it, but we'd better not place all our hopes on him." Albert raised his hand to signal everyone to keep quiet, "My suggestion is that you continue to practice and enhance your defense against the black arts so that you can contribute to the fight against the mysterious man in the near future."

"To be honest, I don't really want to tell you these things, because most people will not change their minds because of my three or two words, but someone has to tell you the current situation and tell you what to do next. I don't think I'm necessarily right, but there has to be someone."

   "As for what things need special attention, you will know when you read the parchment later."

  Albert waved his wand and created a stack of papers out of thin air. He raised his wand and tapped on the stack of papers, so that the papers were automatically distributed in front of all the members.

   "Finally, I must remind you of one thing, everyone needs to be responsible for what they do."

   "The other thing is that I may be away from the UK for a while."

   "Has the situation really gotten so bad?" Cedric raised his hand and asked, "I think with your strength, you shouldn't be much inferior to the mysterious man, if..."

"I tried it, but Dumbledore's death ruined my original plan. As for the mysterious man, I'm not afraid of him, but it's not the time yet. We need to wait patiently and come out to surprise him when the time comes. , Exposing it now will only make them vigilant, only extremely stupid people can't wait to reveal their secret cards to the enemy."

   "Is it time?"

  Although everyone didn't know what Albert was waiting for, as a master of divination, he obviously saw an opportunity to defeat the mysterious man. They only needed to trust Albert.

  After the meeting, everyone was carefully reading the paper that Albert had just handed out, discussing the contents in a low voice.

   Noticing the eyes of the Weasley brothers, Albert followed the two out of the conference room.

   "Lupine is getting married." George said suddenly, "Marrying Tonks, they want to invite you to the wedding."

   "Forget it, I'm leaving England tomorrow." Albert shook his head and refused. He knew that Lupine's invitation to himself was not just to attend the wedding.

  Albert never thought he could solve some problems, so he didn't plan to go there from the beginning, let alone accept other people's questions.

  He believes that the Order of the Phoenix can solve Harry Potter's problem. If he can't even do such trivial things well, what else will the Order of the Phoenix do?

"If the headquarters of the Order of the Phoenix is ​​completed, I suggest that they move to the headquarters of the Order of the Phoenix. At least it will be safer to hold a small wedding there. I don't think Lupine has thought about making the wedding too grand!" Albert said. Te finally gave his own little suggestion.

  He has always felt that wizards in the magic world like to die. The two sides clearly have a deep hatred, but they still like to run out and jump around.

   If it was him, they would have been sent to see Merlin earlier.

  In fact, Albert did that, which is the main reason why he had been happy working with the Ministry of Magic before.

"Well, you don't mind if I become the child's godfather, I'm definitely more suitable than Fred." George actually knew the reason why Albert left the UK. His child was about to be born, and staying in the UK would only bring the child Uncertain dangers.

  Get out of the UK, it's safer to get away from it all.

   "You bastard..."

   "Big deal, after my child is born, I will ask you to be his godfather."

   "You don't even have a girlfriend yet." Fred couldn't help but rolled his eyes.

   "That's really congratulations."

  Cedric reached out and patted Albert on the shoulder, "However, I still hope that you can come back as soon as possible. I feel that the situation in the British magic world will get worse and worse. God knows how things will turn out."

   "You all have to grow up, and you can't expect to rely on me for everything, so I won't be exhausted." Albert said with a smile.

   "He just wants to be lazy." Fred poked at him unceremoniously.

   "Okay, I have to go, I'll leave later." Albert smiled and waved his hand, "As long as you don't mess around, there won't be any big trouble."

   "I really envy him for being so calm."

  Looking at the back of Albert leaving, Cedric sighed softly, "What should we do next, continue training?"

"Well, of course it is more important to continue training and improve your own level. At least you can ensure your own safety in case of danger." George retracted his gaze and said calmly, "Actually, you must be too worried, we are still Going according to Albert's arrangement, there will definitely not be any major problems."

   "No, I feel that what Albert said may not be far away." Cedric was more worried about the series of changes after the collapse of the Ministry of Magic. He knew too well how bad it would be if that happened.
