Study Days at Hogwarts

  Chapter 1372 Three seconds of silence

   "Are the Wizarding Wars finally over?"

   Albert paused his mischievous and active hands on his fair skin, and asked softly, "Why do you say that?"

"If it wasn't for the end of this Wizarding War, I'm afraid you would not choose to severely injure those Death Eaters at this time." After listening to Albert casually chatting about several major events in the British magic world, Isobel thought Such a hunch.

  Isobel has always been a smart woman, and she is more sensitive than most wizards in many things. Moreover, she not only understood every inch of Albert's body, but also understood his behavior.

   "Not so fast, about a year and a half. After the Horcrux problem is resolved, the war is basically coming to an end."

   "That's too soon."

  Isobel took Albert's hand and placed it lightly on his lap.

   "Yeah, it will be soon." Albert murmured, "After the war is over, we can go back and live the life we ​​want."

"Katrina should be very happy. She has never liked staying here... To be honest, I am really surprised that you would mind." Isobel stared at Albert's handsome face and reminded with a smile, "Don't Let the things in your hands slip through the gaps in your palms."

   "I'm just... overwhelmed."

  Ebert didn't want to discuss this embarrassing issue, so he changed the topic stiffly, "Britain is probably going to be uneasy again recently, and I don't know how long they will be crazy this time."

   "Honey, you're so cute."

  Isobel held Albert's face and kissed it: "Tonight is still very long, we will sleep again later, anyway, there is nothing to do tomorrow!"

   "I really don't mind, you know it." Albert emphasized again.

   "But I don't mind. My mother is a case. She actually hopes that someone will inherit the surname McDowell. This is one of the reasons why she acquiesces." Isobel said with a smile, "She is very satisfied with you."

   "Because I'm good enough." Albert muttered.

"Of course, that's one of the reasons." Isobel turned over and rode on Albert, leaned down and put his head next to Albert's ear, and said in a warm voice, "But, man, always If you need to be satisfied, especially if you are surrounded by beautiful girls, I have to feed you first."

   "You should have confidence in me." Albert raised his eyebrows.

   "Of course I have confidence in you, but I don't have confidence in others." Isobel's eyes flashed a glimmer of haze, she recently learned a bad news.

   "I always feel that you have something to hide from me." Albert said suspiciously.

   "It's not that I'm hiding it from you."

  Isobel gagged Albert's mouth again, ready to discuss other matters with him.

  The next day, the young couple got up very early for morning exercises as usual.

   After breakfast, Albert was going to the Defense Association headquarters.

  Katrina stared at the disappearing figure, looked at the radiant Isobel again, and muttered: "The time converter is not for you to use like this."

   "This war is likely to end within the next year, and then you can do what you want." Isobel put Alice, who had just been fed, back into the stroller.

   "We've had countless conversations like this." Katrina raised her eyebrows and reminded.

   “We did talk a lot.”

  Isobel didn't care, and told his sister about the big event that Albert mentioned last night.

   "Isn't this a good thing?"

  Katrina also thought that the Death Eaters would be so miserable, and it was entirely Albert's fault.

   "For you, it may not be." Isobel reminded.

   "It really surprised me." Katrina raised her eyebrows slightly and asked back, "This is not like your style, what happened?"

   After all, no one likes to eat alone, and Isobel is no exception.

   "I recently discovered a big and unpleasant secret." The expression on Isobel's face was quite complicated.

  Albert didn't know what the big secret Isobel was talking about. As soon as he arrived at the Defense Association headquarters, Shanna came to him with trouble.

"So, those wizards who were left in another shelter were very dissatisfied with their situation?" Albert was not surprised by this. Humans are very complicated creatures, especially when they know that they have been After people are treated specially.

   "Yes, they... don't know what is good or bad." Shanna briefly considered the words.

"This shows that they no longer need to be taken care of." Albert put down the quill, looked up and said to Shanna, "Let the people who stayed in the shelter come back, I guess the British magic world will not be safe in the next period of time, There's no need to stay outside any longer."

   "Are they going to die?"

   Shanna understood what Albert meant and let them fend for themselves.

   After all, they are not nannies, and many times they need to face the cruel reality in person.

   And this will often kill a group of people, because the Death Eaters are not good, and they will not be given a chance to regret it.

   "So, we just dropped them?"

  Neville's eyes were full of confusion and incomprehension, and he watched those few people who had previously agreed to join the Defense Association leave the shelter.

   "We are not their nanny." Kenneth said coldly, "It is our greatest kindness to remind them. Don't expect yourself to convince others, especially before facing the cruel reality."

   As he spoke, he asked Hannah to call the other asylum wizards to the window to see what happened to them.

   "Why not save them."

  Looking at the few unlucky people who were brought down and dragged away by the Death Eaters who appeared out of nowhere as soon as they left the house, the stunned wizards finally couldn't help asking.

   "I've already warned them, but they are determined to die, how do you ask me to stop him?" Kenneth said something that would irritate people with a deadpan expression, causing the wizards around him to stare at him extremely annoyed.

"You shouldn't be angry with me, but with your enemies, because only cowards vent their anger on their own people." Kenneth coldly glanced at the thirty or so people present, and reminded, "You are all adults Now, you have your own judgment, we can only give you some advice, whether you listen or not is your own business, if your life is in danger because of your own choice, don't expect anyone to take the risk to save you, death is pure It deserves it, just like those few just now, don’t say we are cruel, think carefully about my warning just now, they are completely anxious to seek death, what can I do?”

   "Are they really going to die? They shouldn't be re-…"

   "The Mysterious Man and the Death Eaters have been enraged. I estimate that several of them will be tortured and tortured inhumanely before they can die."

"Can't you just say a few words?" Hannah looked at the group of pale adult wizards, and comforted like a child, "This shelter is very safe, and it has always been protected by the Fidelity Curse, Death Eaters It's impossible to get in."

"It's time for them to realize the reality. This is a war, not just playing tricks. I guess there will be more people on the other side who don't listen to persuasion, and their deaths will be even worse." Kenneth glanced at Hannah and reminded, " Also, you are the kid who hasn't graduated yet."

   After finishing speaking, he turned around and left.

  The more you talk, the less they want to listen. Only when you ignore them, they will work hard to find the answer and let themselves accept the reality.

  This is what Albert always talks about.

   Sometimes Kenneth really thinks that Albert sees people very clearly.

   "Have a good rest, let's take care of your body first." Hannah reassured casually, "At least there are no dementors here, and you won't be hungry."

   Everyone looked at each other and suddenly became very confused.

  In fact, as Kenneth expected, a brutal massacre was taking place outside another shelter.

  After the members of the Defense Association received the news from the headquarters, they gave the last reminder and advice to the wizards who were still making trouble according to the usual practice, and then evacuated directly with the help of the house elves.

  Some wizards who did not listen to persuasion were directly attacked by Death Eaters as soon as they left this terrible shelter.

  The group of Death Eaters did not capture people back to Azkaban, but used the Cruciatus Curse directly in front of the survivors of the shelter to torture them to death, trying to lure their prey into the bait with this cruel method.

   This series of tragedies finally turned into a less than five-minute broadcast in the wizard's lookout the next day. Probably only the parties involved can truly appreciate the cruelty described in Lee Jordan's short words.

  "...Unfortunately, just yesterday, 28 wizards refused to listen to the advice and insisted on leaving the shelter they were in. Unfortunately, they were ambushed by the black-eating wizards and died tragically on the spot. Let us mourn the dead for three seconds..."
