Study Days at Hogwarts

Chapter 1466: Be a human being

 “Is this the way you said?”

After reading the newspaper from France, Katrina couldn't help but look sideways at Albert, who was lying on the beach chair leisurely sunbathing.

 “That’s right!”

Albert glanced at the pocket watch on the table and looked at the sparkling sea in front of him.

"But, I mean how on earth did you do it? Is it really just based on that article?"

Katrina was curious as to why an article like that could have such a magical effect.

“It may not work well in other countries, but in the magical land of France, all kinds of incredible things can always happen.”

Albert looked at the funny head above the water, climbed up from the lounge chair, stretched out his hand to pull Isobel up to the floating deck, and did not forget to hand over a white bath towel.

“Don’t you really want to swim in the sea for a while?” After Isobel lifted the cannon curse, he took a big breath of the slightly salty air on the sea.

 “How is it at the bottom of the sea?”

 “It’s very beautiful, very beautiful, but it’s a pity that I couldn’t take pictures.”

Isobel felt a little regretful and took the bath towel to wrap herself up. Although February in the Mediterranean has warmed up, it is easy to lose body temperature if you soak in the sea for too long. If you let the sea breeze blow again, you will easily catch a cold.

 “Forget it, I don’t really want to go into the water in this weather!”

Albert nudged her back and reminded, "Go back and change clothes first before coming back to bask in the sun. Be careful of catching a cold."

“It’s okay, I’m not as delicate as you think.”

After Isobel wiped herself dry with a bath towel, she used magic to evaporate the remaining water stains on her body. She picked up the tea on the small round table and drank half a cup. After she recovered, she said another thing: "I just went down to take a look. Take a look, there are harvests in those cages, and you should be able to harvest them in a while."

  “It seems that the fishery here is very rich.”

Albert looked around. The environment here is quite good. Unfortunately, there are many people active nearby. They cannot stay nearby for a long time.

 “What were you talking about just now?” Isobel asked.

“The Ministry of Magic of various countries jointly crusade against the Death Eaters.” Katrina asked, “By the way, are you having paella for lunch again?”

“Maybe it’s a seafood barbecue. We haven’t had a barbecue for a long time. I remember that there is still a lot of French champagne in the wine cellar that was not finished last time.” Albert left a lot of cages today and planned to change his taste.

 “Do you think they will succeed?”

Isobel carried the fat cat who was napping on her beach chair to the table, and lazily lay back on the beach chair. After half an hour of diving, she felt a little tired.

 “It’s difficult?” Albert said simply.

“I remember you seemed to be looking forward to this.”

Isobel suspected that there was Albert's interference behind this matter. The purpose was to allow the Aurors of the International Federation of Wizards to perform their duties and to allow the wizards living on the British map to breathe a sigh of relief. The recent Death Eaters It was so overwhelming that they couldn't breathe.

Of course, it may be that Albert is unhappy with the people of the International Federation of Wizards and wants to force them to fulfill their obligations.

 After all, it is really hateful for a group of guys who only want power but are unwilling to fulfill their obligations to hide and watch the fun.

"I would really like to see Aurors fight with Death Eaters. It's a pity that the mysterious man has returned to England." Albert stroked Tom's cat head and said softly, "I guess he probably noticed something."

 “Are you aware of your conspiracy?” Katrina teased, “Maybe, he will blame you for this.”

"Don't think that I'm so bad, I just made him suffer a little bit." Albert stretched out his hands and said, "The main reason is that the guy is too stingy, are you right, Tom?"

"Meow!"

Tom Cat jumped directly from the table to Albert, completely forgetting how much he weighed. Fortunately, Albert raised his hand in time to catch the fat cat with magic, otherwise he would have doubted whether he needed treatment. "I guess those Aurors will not be the opponent of the mysterious man." Katrina said suddenly.

She knew the situation in Britain. Scrimgeour had a bunch of Aurors around him. As a result, when facing the mysterious man, those Aurors were just decorations.

  “Very normal.”

 “Then you still...”

“They can hold back the mysterious man and the Death Eaters.” Isobel really knew Albert better.

"Yes, they are the International Federation of Wizards. How can they be indifferent to this kind of thing." Albert looked at Tom who narrowed his eyes comfortably and said softly, "They should work hard for the peace of the wizarding world."

 “So, you force others to do that.”

Katrina also thinks there is nothing wrong with Albert’s approach.

She knew very well that the current comfort came from Albert, otherwise they would also be involved in this terrible wizard war and fall into catastrophe.

 In the final analysis, the International Federation of Wizards has failed to fulfill its obligations. Otherwise, why would they need Albert to push them from behind?

 “Is Dumbledore like this too?” Isobel asked curiously.

"Dumbledore, probably, I don't know him very well." Albert thought about it carefully and said, "I only know that even if the guy is dead, he is still directing Snape to do things for him behind the scenes?"

"What's up?"

 “Defeating the mysterious man, of course.”

Albert also learned about the news that the mysterious man quietly returned to England not long ago.

The grumpy guy was obviously not satisfied with a group of Aurors breaking into his house, and was ready to clear them out.

 This is always interesting.

 It’s just that we don’t know how many people will die.

 Speaking of which, Albert feels that he is becoming more and more cold-hearted, and there is a tendency to become more like an old man.

He actually knew that Voldemort had no interest in provoking the Ministry of Magic of various countries, and he also knew that various countries had no interest in provoking Voldemort.

 The two sides even maintain a certain tacit understanding, which is not difficult to see from the first Wizarding War.

It is undeniable that, as one of the victims of the "International Federation of Magicians' Secrecy Law", Albert is extremely disgusted with these guys who hold power but are unwilling to fulfill their corresponding obligations.

Since they were unwilling, Albert gave them a gentle push from behind, which was considered as helping them. By then, even if they were unwilling, they would be involved in this war involuntarily.

 As for the evidence?

 There must be no trace at all.

Even if someone notices it, it will be useless, unless it is a mysterious person.

 Because he did Kingsley a small favor and provided some fairly reliable advice.

Of course, Albert didn't know that he was hated by Voldemort again, but even if he knew, he wouldn't care. Since Voldemort wanted to kill him last time, one of the two sides must fall.

 “Looks like a lot of people are going to die again.”

Isobel guessed that her husband was probably preparing to pull all European countries on board and make them the vanguard against the mysterious man.
