"This weather...what the hell!"

Albert came out from the corner of the street, looked up at the gray sky above his head, and suddenly turned his head to look in a certain direction. His gaze penetrated the thick fog and landed on the roof not far from the street. Employees of the Ministry of Magic are holding up their wands, rolling up wind and snow to obscure the sight of passers-by.

In the sky above the city of London, Aurors on brooms are using the cover of the wind and snow to summon their patron saints to expel the dementors entrenched in the sky above London.

Albert took a breath of hot air into his palm, rubbed it vigorously, then tightened his windbreaker, walked along the dark street, and finally turned into a steaming coffee shop.

As soon as the glass door was opened, a gust of hot air filled with a strong aroma of coffee came oncoming. Probably because of the bad weather, there were no customers in the store.

His eyes swept across the store and fell on a certain customer in the corner. It was a red-haired middle-aged man who was drinking coffee and flipping through the newspaper.

"I hope I didn't keep you waiting too long!" Albert walked over to greet the other party.

"No, just arrived!"

Scrimgeour put down the newspaper, smiled and beckoned Albert to sit down, "What do you want to drink, I'm treating you today."

"A cappuccino," Albert said to the waitress.

After the waitress left, Scrimgeour lowered his voice and said, "I heard what Kingsley said about Snape."

They didn't use magic to muffle their voices, because that would have been more suspicious.

"Oh, it seems that Kingsley is very concerned about this!"

Albert understood the meaning of the other party, and this man was obviously very concerned about whether Snape would backstab Dumbledore.

Although Scrimgeour looked more and more like a politician now, he never forgot Albert's death warning. In fact, as long as you have a normal mind, you will realize the importance of Dumbledore. Although it is not enough to prevent the mysterious man and the Death Eaters from acting rashly, the deterrent power lies there.

"Is this true?"

Scrimgeour risked his life to meet with Albert. He needed an answer so that he could judge the future situation.

"That's true, but it can change."

Albert nodded slightly to the waitress, and took a sip from his coffee cup, "You know, it's hard to say anything about the future."

"Can you save me?" Scrimgeour asked directly.

"You mean Snape?"

Albert was very surprised by Scrimgeour's decision, this was the rhythm of preparing to kill Snape!

However, this is not surprising, who made Snape a Death Eater, and Albert predicted that he might be bad for Dumbledore.

The combination of the two does not mean that he is still a Death Eater, and the Ministry of Magic's policy on Death Eaters is generally to kill them directly.

If killing Snape would keep Dumbledore, Scrimgeour wouldn't mind doing that.

Just a Death Eater, and when he dies he dies, which is good for everyone.

"I don't know, it's hard to say about this kind of thing. I think the future will depend on Dumbledore. You know, the older you get, the more stubborn you become. It's hard for others to convince him." Albert shook his head slightly, expressing Not optimistic about Scrimgeour's plan, "Maybe, you can go to his place sometime, and then you can talk slowly."

"Having talked, he doesn't think it's Snape's problem."

Scrimgeour actually didn't understand why Dumbledore wanted to protect Snape, especially when Albert predicted that Snape would kill him, it was obviously suspicious to do so.

As for the reason, Scrimgeour didn't think about it for the time being, but he always felt that Albert should know something, the guy in front of him knew a lot of secrets.

"You have to ask him yourself."

Albert put down the coffee cup with a smile, shrugged and said, "I don't like Snape anyway, and I support you in wanting to kill him. As for Dumbledore, there must be some reason for doing that."

"Kingsley thinks so too."

Scrimgeour still felt that Albert must know something and just didn't want to talk to him.

Said, and Dumbledore never intended to tell him these secrets in the first place.

In fact, as long as you are not blind, you can see that Dumbledore was running around during this time, and he must be targeting the mysterious man, but he never planned to tell anyone that he was exactly the same as the guy in front of him, which annoyed Scrimgeour. And helpless, is he so untrustworthy as a dignified Minister of Magic?

"Mr. Principal is probably preparing some secret weapon." Albert seemed to see through Scrimgeour's mind, and suggested with a smile, "The less people know about some things, the higher the probability of success, and I don't think he Let you know it's right."

Not paying attention to Scrimgeour's gloomy expression, Albert continued, "Don't blame me for speaking harshly, you yourself are his target, and you don't plan to hide it. Sooner or later, problems will arise. How dare you let him tell you , isn't this a leak?

Scrimgeour's face became more gloomy, but what Albert said was true.

Moreover, what happened to the Minister of Magic, it was the same in the eyes of those extraordinary wizards.

Especially in someone's eyes, he could die in the line of duty at any moment.

Dumbledore also never took the Minister for Magic seriously, not even the position. Voldemort also didn't take the Minister of Magic seriously. If necessary, he would just kill him and replace him with another one. But what about Albert Anderson?

Seems like another Dumbledore.

It's just that the old man has a gentle personality, but he is even more terrifying.

He knew better than anyone how those dark wizards and Death Eaters died.

"Secret weapon? How sure is he, you know..."

"That nearly noseless guy," Albert added.

"Well, almost noseless guy." Scrimgeour continued, ignoring Albert's nickname for Voldemort, "I mean... wait, and should he... I still don't think it's a risk, We are getting older, and it is more important to be steady.

"You have to talk to him about this yourself, but I think your chances of success are not high." Albert actually sympathized with Scrimgeour, at least a little bit with this one in front of him. To a certain extent, Scrimgeour also sympathized. Being implicated, if Dumbledore died suddenly, he would be a target of Voldemort very quickly.

It's a pity that there are no ifs in this world. When he chose to become the Minister of Magic and planned to confront Voldemort head-on, many things were already doomed.

"Actually, you already knew that, right!" Scrimgeour exhaled, and suddenly asked, "You never thought of changing from the beginning, what you are thinking is really confusing."

"For the final victory."

"Can you really win?"

"You have to ask him." Albert shrugged, and when he picked up the coffee cup, he found that it was empty.

"I hate the Riddler!" Scrimgeour sighed.

"You still have a chance." Albert said, "It depends on how you choose."

"Forget it, anyway, I already knew my end!" Scrimgeour became more and more convinced that these two guys were planning something secretly, and how it was worth Dumbledore's own life, which made the magic Ministers are a little skeptical about life.

However, the answer is actually not hard to guess. It was definitely aimed at Voldemort. It is estimated that only the famous Dark Lord is eligible to enjoy such treatment, and the person in front of him may be an insider or...executor.

"There is still time, you can think slowly, don't rush to make a decision." Albert put down the empty coffee cup and asked, "Is there anything else?"

"The hotel has been completed, and I would like to invite you to take a look and help me a little." Scrimgeour sent an invitation to Albert, which was what they had discussed before, and Albert kept the shelter a secret people.

Looking for other people can't make people feel at ease.

Albert was a little surprised. He thought it would take longer to complete, but he didn't expect the Ministry of Magic to be so efficient.

"Well, everyone is working overtime during this time."

Scrimgeour folded the newspaper and put it in the briefcase, went to

Pay at the counter.

As soon as the two of them walked out of the coffee shop, there was a gust of cold air blowing in front of them. Albert stretched out his hand to tighten the windbreaker, and followed Scrimgeour to a nearby public toilet.

"Let's go."

He pointed to the briefcase in his hand.

Albert recognized it as a portkey at a glance, put his hand on it, and was pulled away by a force.

When he regained his footing, he found himself in an abandoned place with a tall dilapidated hotel in front of him.

That's right, it's a hotel.

Scrimgeour converted an abandoned hotel into a shelter for the families of Ministry employees.

"Shelter No. 1." Scrimgeour introduced, he led Albert through the outer defensive magic.

"Hmm." Albert was stunned when he heard the name, and asked, "Are you still building other shelters?"

"According to the original plan, there are shelters 2 and 3, but I'm not sure if there's enough time." Scrimgeour stopped and said to Albert, "Okay, I've given everyone Transfer away, and I will trouble you next.

"It seems that you invited Dumbledore."

Albert understood the meaning of Scrimgeour's words, obviously intending to let Dumbledore use the Fidelity Charm, and let him act as a secret keeper.

"Yes, he should be here soon." Scrimgeour took out his pocket watch and checked the time.

After a while, Dumbledore appeared out of thin air, nodded slightly towards the two people here, greeted and smiled, "It seems that I came at a very good time!"

"I hope we can talk later," Scrimgeour said suddenly.

"Of course there is no problem, but I still stick to my opinion." Dumbledore had already guessed what Scrimgeour wanted to talk to himself, and changed the subject, "Let's start now."

He didn't find it strange, Albert was enough to cast the Loyalty Curse, and he obviously wanted to talk to him at this time, but there were some things he couldn't tell Scrimgeour.

"here we go!"

Dumbledore raised his wand and pointed at the hotel in front of him, chanted a spell softly, and then waved his wand. The hotel in front of him began to become blurred, as if a layer of mist was wrapped in his eyes, and then the hotel disappeared out of thin air. It should be said that he was hidden.

Dumbledore pointed his wand at Albert. The latter seemed to feel something, and his body trembled slightly. Some memories about Shelter No. 1 became clear again, and Shelter No. 1 ahead appeared together.

"Okay, it's done!"

Dumbledore looked at the hotel that had completely disappeared in front of him, nodded in satisfaction and looked at Albert.

"No problem." Albert said softly, "Welcome to Shelter 1, which is located on the outskirts of Bidford in Devonshire!"

When Albert told Dumbledore and Scrimgeour about the specific location of Shelter No. 1, Shelter No. 1 reappeared in front of Dumbledore and Scrimgeour.

"Oh yes, this thing is for you."

Albert seemed to have thought of something, lightly waved his wand, conjured parchment and a quill out of thin air, wrote something on it and handed it to Scrimgeour.

"What are you giving me this for?"

Scrimgeour glanced at the content on the parchment, which was what Albert said just now.

"With this thing, you can use it to transfer residents here without my presence," Albert explained.

"Don't you need to come here yourself?"

Scrimgeour was a little taken aback, of course he knew the Loyalty Curse, but what was going on with the parchment.

"No need, just get my permission, that is, the parchment must be kept well. This thing is equivalent to telling them the location of No. 1 Shelter in person. It is recommended to destroy it with fire after use." Ai Bert reminded kindly.

"Indeed, this is a more clever usage." Dumbledore explained to Scrimgeour, he is actually familiar with this usage, and it is not surprising that Albert would use it.

"now that

Now that the matter has been completed, then I will go first. See you two, another day. Albert nodded slightly towards the two of them, and immediately Apparated and left.

"Wait..." Scrimgeour originally wanted to drag Albert to chat with Dumbledore, but Albert slipped away first.

There was a brief silence around.

"Have you talked?" Dumbledore asked suddenly.

"Well, we've talked, I suspect you are brewing some kind of plan." Scrimgeour and Dumbledore walked into Shelter 1 and chatted about some very sensitive issues.

He didn't actually expect to get some useful information from Dumbledore, but he was still a little unwilling, so he asked directly. As for Dumbledore's answer, that was his business.

"Some things are not suitable for too many people to know," Dumbledore said after a moment.

"Where's Anderson?" Scrimgeour asked rhetorically.

"Mr. Anderson guessed it himself~www.mtlnovel.com~ Dumbledore shook his head and said, "Besides, it's okay for him to know, because he was also involved, and he can keep it completely secret, so I'm not worried."

"What about Snape, do you just trust him that much, or do you think getting Snape to kill you is an essential part of the whole plan?" Scrimgeour couldn't help but sneered, he still couldn't help Angry because his own life was at stake.

"You can think of it as part of the plan, Severus has always been my man."

"He's a Death Eater and a double agent. Don't you think it's absurd that you trust him and put your life in his hands?"

"No, I believe he has reformed himself."

"It's incomprehensible!" muttered Scrimgeour. "You look like you're mad."

"There's always a price to pay."

"Enough, I've had enough, you're like that Anderson, you always like to be mysterious." Scrimgeour left angrily, he knew very well that the other party would not tell him anything, he hated this group of riddlers .
