Daily Life at Hogwarts Chapter 965: Just in case

"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, but 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.

Anyone downstairs?

"Who would it be?"

The red-haired girl raised her 12-point vigilance. Since Isabel didn't know where to go with Albert, she was left alone in the huge family most of the time.

It was impossible for Katrina not to panic when a stranger came to her door, because Isobel had told her that it was very difficult for Albert to clean up a Death Eater in the labyrinth of the third project. It may provoke revenge from the minions of "Mysterious Man".

It stands to reason that even if You-Know-Who wants to take revenge on Albert Anderson, what does it have to do with his family?

Who made the Anderson family emigrate overseas, even Voldemort would have a hard time finding Albert's family across continents, and only Isobel McDougall had a relationship with Albert.

Although the two parties are currently just boyfriend and girlfriend, 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 is currently occupying favorable terrain (stairs) and can use Apparition to retreat at any time.

While Katrina was hesitating, there was a sudden noise in the hall, which aroused Katrina's vigilance.

What puzzled her, however, was that the intruder did not go upstairs, but went to the lobby.

"Not the enemy?"

If not the minions of the mysterious man, who is it?

Katrina couldn't have imagined that anyone would come to their house at this time, and 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 much hesitation, Katrina finally quietly cast the Disillusionment Charm on herself, planning to sneak downstairs to see what was going on.

As she clenched her wand, she crept downstairs and quietly touched the hall.

Then, Katrina froze.

A strangely dressed house-elf is standing at the entrance of the hall, holding a piece of parchment in its left hand, a wand in the other, and a leather case that looks familiar, but don't know why , always giving the illusion that the house-elf in front of him is always ready to run away with a suitcase.

The house-elf in front of her seemed to confirm something, staring at the parchment in her hand, stuffing it back into the pocket of what looked like a cloak, and saying to the corridor outside the hall, "Please don't be nervous, Miss Katrina."

Yes, the house-elves seem pretty sure they're around.

After speaking, the house-elf raised his wand and waved it gently towards the window, which closed abruptly.

“Who are you?”

As soon as Katrina opened her mouth, 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 turn on again, but there were two more familiar figures in the field of vision.

"What the **** are you guys doing?" Katrina breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the two of them. She lowered her wand and stared angrily at the two in front of her.

"Be careful, it's never a bad thing."

Albert quickly glanced at his wrist, as if confirming something.

"Carla, I'm sorry to bother you with dinner," Isobel said to the house-elves.

"Okay, Mistress, I'll leave dinner to Carla." The house-elf opened the suitcase and happily went to work on what she liked.

"Hostess?"

Katrina noticed the house elf's name just now, her face became odd, and her eyes moved back and forth between the two.

The 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 hide in the box?"

Looking around at Katrina's door, I was surprised to see how much has changed here, almost 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.

"It is for safety reasons, of course." Albert reminded solemnly, "Last night, a famous Death Eater appeared near my house, you should be able to guess the reason without me telling you!"

"How did you know?" Katrina was stunned. "Didn't you hide?"

"They set off the alarm, those guys don't know yet, I already know about it." Albert's tone was flat, as if being taken care of by a dark wizard was a trivial matter.

Perhaps, he expected this to happen from the start!

"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 me? Mom won't agree."

"It's no longer safe here."

"You should know Mom's character better than I do."

Katrina looked at Isobel, wanting her to come out and stop Albert's mischief.

"You have to try everything, and what you did just now is wrong. In this case, you should not come down to check, but should hide. Even if you want to find out who is below, the method is wrong." Albert Watch Tom doze off after dinner and correct a few mistakes Katrina made.

"What method?" Katrina raised her eyebrows.

"The Mantra."

"What is that?" Katrina asked in confusion, she didn't know what the spell was.

"A spell that can be marked on a map," Isobel explained gently. "Look at the map to see who's around."

"That's why the house-elves look at the parchment?" Katrina found the parchment and saw the ink dots on the map marked the names of house-elf Kara and the three of them.

"Yes," Albert reminded, "Even through spells or potions disguised, you can't get past the Humanity Charm, unless you use a very strong shielding spell on yourself, but only a highly skilled wizard can do it, trust me. , the unknown mysterious man and his minions will certainly not be on guard."

"Well, it's really useful this way."

GuKatrina feels that the fake Moody's loss is not wrong at all, and it is no wonder that Albert can defeat the fake Moody and his helpers. It turns out that the other party has been planning an ambush under Albert's eyes. he.

Despite advance notice, Mrs. McDougall is still working late at St Mungo's Hospital for Magical Injuries and Wounds, looking tired.

However, I wasn't too surprised to see Albert and his daughters emerge from the suitcase, 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.

"Yes."

Albert admits it, although he knows it's rude.

"You predicted that the mysterious man 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 trust the integrity of the mysterious people. No matter what those people do, I won't find it strange." Although Albert knew that the chances of success were small, he still had to try.

"I have my job and I won't hide it," said Mrs. McGonagall, shaking her head.

"Perhaps, you can change jobs temporarily, such as writing a book to teach people to treat magical injuries." Albert suggested sincerely: "I know it is rude to say this, but I think you have experienced the first The Wizarding War, it's clear what it was like, and this time it's going to be worse."

"Worse?"

"The Ministry of Magic will collapse and be controlled by You-Know-Who. I'm afraid they will implicate you because of my relationship." Albert did not hide it. "The Death Eaters were empty at my home yesterday."

"Death Eater, are you sure?"

"I'm sure that even if I can strengthen the defenses around the house, it's not safe. A powerful wizard can easily break them." Albert paused for a moment and continued: "Even if you live in another place, it's actually not safe. If the Death Eaters want to get you, they'll rush into St Mungo's Hospital for Magical Injuries and Injuries to get 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 McDougall 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, "Looks like you're 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 had no plans to give up her current job.

"I'm not going to hide," she said, looking at her daughter. "But you can put Katrina in a safe place. The ones I'm most worried about are their sisters."

"Mom!" Katrina frowned disapprovingly, she wouldn't leave her mother behind.

"Albert is right, if You-Know-Who makes a comeback, you'd better find a place to hide." Mrs. McDougall looked at Katrina and said, "You're boring at home anyway. , and it's not safe. Don't blame Albert, I've been through the first wizarding war and I know what it was, and a lot of your loved ones died because of it, and hiding away from right and wrong is probably the best option. "

"What about you?"

"Death Eaters seldom kill neutral pure-blooded wizards." Mrs. McDougall was very precise. Albert seemed to reveal everything, but he didn't reveal anything. Even if he was caught, he would be squeezed. No useful information. "

Mrs. McDougall can favor pure blood when necessary, as for her daughter's impending marriage to a Muggle wizard?

Mrs. McDougall will tell everyone that Albert is actually the heir of a famous surname, but the two sides have had a bad time and changed their surname.

Is this wrong?

That's right.

"What about three meals?" Katrina was still struggling.

"I can handle it myself," Mrs. McDougall said. "Don't forget, I brought you up."

"I can ask the house-elves to help out," Albert took out 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 Make a plan, and as for the house, I'm ready."

Katrina gave Albert a stern look, knowing that the man in front of her had thought about all the problems.

"Katrina, go pack and leave with Isobel tonight!" Mrs. McDougall said to Isobel, "Take care of your sister."

"I will," Isobel said earnestly.

It didn't take long for the house-elf to Apparate away with his suitcase in hand.

Looking at the empty hall, Mrs. McDougall sighed softly, her eyes fell on the picture in the frame, listening to the music on the radio, closing the Wizarding Weekly in her hand, and slowly closing her eyes.

"Are we here?"

Coming out of the box, Katrina finds herself in a dilapidated house ~IndoMTL.com~ Apparition is prohibited and only house-elves can go directly here, so don't worry about being tracked. "

Albert asked a few people to follow after checking that no one else was around.

"Be careful."

Katrina knew that Apparitions could be tracked.

But... Apparating directly into an area where Apparition is prohibited would be very tricky.

God knows what's going to happen.

When Katrina followed, she found herself in some remote place, no wonder Albert would say 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: "No secret, no place to live."

Speaking, he raised his glowing wand and leaned over to let Katrina see the words on the silver card: "Remember what's on it, don't read it out, and think about what you saw in your heart."

"The Rose Manor is located in the small town of Quimper."

Just as Katrina was thinking about the contents of the silver card, a not-so-small house 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.

"Go in and talk about anything else." 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, and she was dragged into the house by Isobel. The house elf finally closed the door, and the room disappeared again. , as if it had never happened.
