The Alchemist of Harry Potter

"How are you over there?"

"It's still the same, how about you?"

"It's been very busy lately. The Death Eaters and their group of villains are making troubles around the UK. The Muggle Mediation Council needs to run around to help clean up these messes. Everyone is going crazy with them. I heard that the Minister I'm thinking about catching those guys who are messing around in the future and treating them to a whip first."

Truman raised his glass and touched Cedric lightly. After drinking the butterbeer in his glass, he looked up at Old Tom across the counter. "It seems that business in the bar has been bad lately."

"There used to be some people, but recently thanks to Minister Scrimgeour, there are fewer and fewer customers in the store." Tom wiped the glass in his hand glumly, and Scrimgeour arrested most of the wizards who dared to drink in the bar. Azkaban prison.

"I'm now considering whether to close the pub or find someone to take over."

"It is estimated that no one is willing to take over at this time." Truman shook his head and said, "If you don't have the ability, you will have to close the door in a few days."

"This is also something that can't be helped. Who makes the entire magic world unsafe, and no one dares to run around now." Cedric put down his glass, smiled and said to Truman: "Okay, let's go back, and try our best at night. Don't linger outside to avoid getting into trouble."

"You're right, safety is the most important thing."

Truman took two silver civets from his pocket and put them on the table, and left with Cedric.

As soon as they walked out of the bar, they both used Apparition to leave.

Looking at the backs of the two leaving, Old Tom was mumbling something.ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ novelenglish.net . ꜰirᴇ

Instead of going straight home, Cedric and Truman appeared together in a remote, desolate, semi-abandoned residential area outside London.

"No one is following!"

Truman took out his wand, cast the Disillusionment Charm on himself, and touched his friend next to him with his wand.

"No."

Cedric shivered and took out his pocket watch from his pocket. After confirming that there was no red dot on it, he shook his head and said, "However, we may be running late."

They walked quickly into an abandoned house.

"Honestly, coming to a place like this in the middle of the night feels pretty creepy." Truman raised his wand to guard his surroundings to prevent a sneak attack.

"There's nothing we can do about it. They need to be careful and covert. I heard that the Death Eaters are chasing them now." Cedric could understand Fred and George's caution.

If you don't pay attention to safety, there is no doubt that the Death Eaters will come to your door one day, and they will also cause trouble for them.

"Should those two guys be hiding here?" Truman asked, looking at the desolate ruins around him, raising his eyebrows slightly.

"I'm sure not."

After Diggory lifted the illusion spell on his body, he lit his wand, looked around, and pointed at the abandoned wooden door in front of him with his wand, "It's here, let's go in!"

"Push the door in?"

Truman asked, frowning slightly, looking at the door full of dust and cobwebs in front of him.

"No, just go through it directly. The entrance is actually here."

After Cedric looked down at the contents of the communication pen, he passed through the wall next to the door and appeared directly in a hidden room.

"Is this the so-called safe house? It's really safe." Truman looked around and couldn't help complaining.

To be honest, he didn't think anyone could find such a ghost place.

"Well, the entrance is very similar to platform nine and three-quarters, and most wizards can't find it at all." Cedric said what he knew, "I will put some water and food in the future, so that the Others can temporarily rest and avoid danger."

"They are very cautious."

"It's Albert after all, that guy has always been cautious."

This is also the main reason why Cedric is willing to join the Defense Association.

Although he supports Harry and opposes the mysterious man and the Death Eaters, it does not mean that he is willing to risk his life to join those unreliable resistance organizations, and then lose his life for no reason.

"That guy is really reliable, what are we doing now?" Truman looked up and down the safe house in front of him with the help of the light on the tip of his wand, and asked Cedric sideways.

Cedric looked at the contents of the communication pen and said to Truman next to him: "Someone will come and pick us up later."

"Why do that? If you tell us the exact location," Truman grumbled. "Are they afraid we'll reveal his location?"

Although he said this, Truman didn't think there was anything wrong with being cautious. After all, what they had to face next was the group of vicious dark wizards.

"I think it should be like this." Cedric put away the communication pen and said suddenly, "It should be coming."

At this time, there was a crackling sound in the room, and a small shadow appeared out of thin air in the safe room.

"It's actually a house-elf." Truman was a little surprised. House-elves are rare in the wizarding world.

"Gentlemen, please come with me."

Dobby bowed slightly behind the two and stretched out his arm.

The two looked at each other, reached out to grab the house-elf's arm, and were Apparated away, and the dark safe room fell into dead silence again.

"here is?"

Cedric looked around, but he was not surprised by the remoteness around him. It was very similar to Albert's style.

"plz follow me!"

The house-elf took a blue lantern out of nowhere and walked at the front of the line to lead the way.

They were surprised to find a thick fog ahead.

"This is a defensive measure, don't rush in without the guidance of a lantern."

The two family elves didn't go long before they came to an abandoned Muggle village.

"plz follow me!"

Dobby walked towards the edge of the village with the two of them, and saw Lee Jordan suddenly emerge from the void to greet them.

"Welcome to the Defense Association headquarters."

"The defensive measures here are really tight." Cedric sighed softly.

"Ever since the base of the Defense Association was completed, Albert has further improved the defenses here." Lee Jordan said with a smile, "After all, you also know that both the mysterious man and the Death Eaters are looking for us now."

"Only you?"

"They're inside, come with me. Let's go wash your faces first. Although I've already confirmed that you are me, I still need to determine whether you are under the Imperius Curse."

"It's really safe." Truman took out a handkerchief to wipe the water on his face, and asked casually, "Is Albert here too?"

"That guy is the secrecy here. Usually, if it's not necessary, he won't appear here easily." Fred and George appeared out of thin air and shook hands with Cedric.

"Secretary? Sounds like a great protection magic?"

"Yes, the Crimson Loyalty Charm is the most powerful protection magic known so far." Fred introduced, "No one can find the hidden place unless the secrecy person allows it."

"When Albert got married, he used the Brave Loyalty Charm to cover the entire manor," Lee Jordan reminded.

"As expected of Albert." Truman sighed softly, "If it can be further promoted, it is estimated that everyone will not have to worry about the threat of the mysterious man."

"It's very difficult. After all, it's a very advanced magic, much more difficult than the Patronus Charm." George shook his head and said, "We also learned it, but we haven't learned it for the time being."

"You must have come into contact with a lot of advanced magic with Albert, right?"

"Will Albert teach us himself?"

"I don't know, but I think it should be like this. Many advanced things can only be taught by him. It depends on when the guy returns from his post-wedding trip."

"That guy is still traveling?"

"After all, he was targeted by the Death Eaters, and it is estimated that he will not return to the UK for the time being." George would not blink his eyes when he lied, and it would not do them any good to let others know about Albert's whereabouts.

"Right, this thing..."

"This is…"

After noticing that George handed over a silver metal card, Cedric froze for a moment and guessed what it was.

"After reading the content on the card, just keep it in your heart, and you can see the entrance later."

"If you don't get the permission of the secret person, even if the mysterious person comes, you will not be able to find it." George seemed to think of something and reminded, "You should know that the mysterious person's name can't be said nonsense."

"What is the specific reason?"

Truman, who was born into a family of Muggle wizards, still does not understand some of the secrets of the wizarding world.

"Once the name is spoken, the mysterious person will lock the specific location of the person who speaks through the magic spell at the first time, and can immediately Apparition to find the nearby." George explained, "Although the Faithful Loyalty Curse can block them, But other protective magics around here may fail completely, so we only use the mysterious man to call him."

"I don't think many people dare to call the mysterious person by name." Cedric handed the silver card to Truman.

"We all know that, but we have to prevent any possible accident," George explained. "No one wants to put us in danger because of someone's stupidity."

"Is this the headquarters?"

Cedric and Truman stopped and looked at the newly renovated house in front of them. They were a little surprised. What should I say?

Not quite what they imagined.

Truman asked suspiciously, "Do you live here?"

"Of course not, we live in other places, come with me, this is just the entrance to the hidden stronghold." George explained to the two, "In order to prevent someone from invading here, Albert has prepared several lines of defense, even if it is really caught by mysterious people. To keep an eye on it can also buy us enough time."

"Of course, I don't think that kind of situation should happen. After all, this place is protected by the Brave Loyalty Charm, but everything may be unexpected."

After speaking, George brought the two to the hall and entered the real headquarters of the Defense Association through the secret passage under the carpet.

"What about you... it's just..."

Truman stared at the concrete underground base, his mouth wide open in surprise and speechless.

"This door is so narrow!"

Looking at the entrance that can only accommodate one person, Cedric asked curiously, "Is this to prevent intrusion?"

"Yes, if someone tries to invade our headquarters, they will be attacked immediately." Fred nodded, "Actually, I don't think these things can come in handy, but it is undeniable that seeing these things will It makes you feel safe.”

"You're right." Cedric agreed with Fred.

"The next room is the guard room. There are many black magic detectors in it. There is a similar room in the headquarters, which is responsible for monitoring all the safe houses." George paused and continued, "Of course, that room is not open to the public. ."

After passing through the front hall, they came to a wide and narrow corridor with various wooden doors on both sides of the corridor, and at the end was a spacious hall.

"It looks a bit like the Great Hall of Hogwarts."

"Yes, it is an imitation of the hall of Hogwarts." Fred nodded. "However, it was a bit rushed when it was built, but I think it should be enough to accommodate nearly a hundred people to train defense against the dark arts."

"How on earth did you build this place?"

Truman asked his doubts again. He had already noticed that the cement was used here, and it was obviously built recently.

"This place is actually much smaller than you expected. It is purely an extension of Albert's use of the Traceless Stretching Spell. As you can see, there are many things here that are not perfect, and we can only rely on other members to slowly make up for it."

"I feel like I've joined an amazing organization." Truman sighed softly: "When will the assembly start? And we all have our own jobs. Is like the Ministry of Magic's black magic training? ?"

"Albert is still compiling our special books, and will teach you more fighting skills. After all, we will have to face those evil dark wizards in the future, and it is impossible to have no self-defense skills." Lee Jordan Signaling them to be quiet,

"I thought you all joined the Order of the Phoenix." Cedric said suddenly

"Yeah, we all joined the Order of the Phoenix, but it doesn't prevent us from joining another organization." Fred shrugged. "After all, it's all to resist the mysterious man."

"Albert believes that Harry and You-Know will eventually have a battle. He believes that Harry and the members of the Order of the Phoenix are not enough. More supporters are needed to win the final victory of this war." George explained to the two road.

"Looks like Harry won in the end!" Cedric was satisfied, no one wanted to face a losing end, and this news could increase everyone's confidence.

"Of course." Lee Jordan said rightfully. "The day is not far away. Until then, what we need now is to gather more like-minded partners."

"Are we going to fight, fight against the dark wizard?"

"Maybe in the future, but it's definitely not now. After all, everyone is a group of rookies. Even if they really want to go to the battlefield, they need to undergo rigorous training, not to die in vain. That kind of sacrifice is meaningless."
