woke up?"

"It feels like a nightmare."

Cedric opened his eyes and looked at Fred beside him, who was peeling an apple to eat himself. Suddenly he didn't know what to say.

"do you want to eat?"

"Where is this place? You saved me?"

"Hogwarts."

George took the knife from Fred and started peeling the apple for himself.

"After we got the news, we contacted Albert and fished you out in time."

"Tell me what's going on?" Albert asked, putting down the latest issue of the newspaper.

"It was Varad. He betrayed me and informed the Death Eaters." Cedric closed his eyes and said with a complicated expression.

"Vallard is probably under the Imperius Curse. You are really unlucky." Fred gloated a little: "Such a bad thing has happened to you. I really don't know what to say about you."

"This is for you...it can reduce the impact of the Cruciatus Curse." Albert placed a bottle of potion in front of Cedric and asked, "Do you need us to help you?"

"Still, let's find Qiu to feed you."

"Those guys are so disgusting. I've obviously been very cooperative, but they actually used the Cruciatus Curse on me." Cedric cursed in a low voice. It was an uncomfortable feeling. "If I catch you, they have to let them try it too."

Taste the Cruciatus Curse."

"It is illegal to use the Cruciatus Curse," Lee Jordan reminded kindly.

"Also, we helped you get revenge." Fred continued.

"The guys who captured you will probably all be dead in a few days." George comforted him with a smile, "Anyway, you don't need to think about revenge."

"How many secrets did you reveal?" Albert asked directly.

"I told you the location of the stronghold, the news that you had returned to England, and... about joining the Defense Association." Cedric looked at Albert and continued, "The main reason why they kept me is,

Want my help to find the headquarters of the Defense Association.

"By the way, I have to tell you something. Bellatrix was not killed by the Ministry of Magic, so you may not be able to return to work at the Ministry of Magic." Albert said suddenly.

"Does this have anything to do with Bellatrix?"

Cedric really couldn't understand what Bellatrix had to do with his inability to return to work at the Ministry of Magic.

"That crazy woman wants to kill me and she's going crazy. Maybe other Death Eaters will worry that it's a trap and won't dare to trouble you, but that crazy woman will definitely trouble you and try to force me out of you.

whereabouts."

"If you don't want to cause trouble for your family, the best way is to hide and disappear, just like Fred and George, leaving no loopholes for the Death Eaters." Albert said softly, "Of course, if

If you regret joining us, I can arrange for you to hide abroad for a while until the war is over and then return to the UK."

"Do you know anyone abroad?"

"You should say that it's not safe even if you hide abroad." Fred waved his wand, making the apple core disappear.

"English is spoken everywhere in the United States. Of course, you may not like that country. In fact, I don't like it either." Albert shrugged: "Actually, I don't think they have gone too far, but

They are minions of the Death Eaters, and there is no telling what those evil thugs will do."

"If you choose to return to work at the Ministry of Magic and are caught again, don't expect me to rescue you."

"Are you giving me a vaccination?" Cedric looked strange.

"The mysterious man seems to want to kill me, so he may weave a new trap and use my friends, lovers and relatives to find me and kill me." Albert said softly, "Of course, I have never

Give them this opportunity."

Cedric opened his mouth, and he understood what Albert meant.

"The mysterious man seemed to have appeared tonight, but we evacuated very quickly, so we didn't encounter him. Bellatrix was also rescued and was not killed by the Auror team of the Ministry of Magic." Lee Jordan reminded softly.

road.

"It seems that a lot of things happened during this period." Cedric sighed softly. Although the nerve pain was relieved after drinking the potion, he still felt very uncomfortable.

"Okay, maybe we should discuss Cedric's problem first." Albert asked seriously: "Are you going to the United States?"

"I'm not going to hide." Cedric shook his head.

"Don't take any chances." Fred frowned, "Then no one will save you next time."

"Don't seek death," Lee Jordan agreed.

"If you are caught again next time, it will definitely be a trap." George explained seriously, "No one would know that it is a trap and step into it stupidly."

"We will not interfere with your choice. At most, we will give you some suggestions." Albert raised his hand to signal the three of them to be quiet, and said to Cedric calmly, "You have been recuperating in Hogwarts recently. Saint Mang

Go Magic Injury and Injury Hospital is unsafe."

"Do you think the mysterious man will use me against you?" Cedric suddenly asked.

"Because you were rescued very quickly. As long as the mysterious man is not a fool, you can guess that I saved you, so your current situation is actually similar to the three of them." Albert explained.

"I'd like to hear your advice," Cedric said.

"Hide with them and work hard to defeat the mysterious man." Albert comforted, "If you want to return to work at the Ministry of Magic in the future, you can wait until the mysterious man is defeated. The British Ministry of Magic will definitely welcome you, and

Your promotion will also go smoothly."

"Sounds like a good idea."

"You can also take advantage of this time to get in touch with Qiu Zhang." Albert reminded kindly, "Remember to dictate a letter to your family, don't make them anxious."

"Can I ask a question?"

"Just ask."

"Why does the mysterious man hate you so much?" Cedric asked the doubt in his heart.

"Actually, we want to know too."

Fred, George and Lee Jordan all looked at Albert with smiles.

"Because I can predict the future and because I am strong, the mysterious man is afraid of me, afraid that I will discover his weaknesses, and afraid that I will kill him." Albert curled his lips and said, "Although I think his worries are a bit unnecessary.

, after all, Harry Potter is the savior, he should be afraid of Harry, not me."

"Weakness?" Cedric asked with a raised eyebrow, "You know the weakness of the mysterious man."

"The so-called weakness actually refers to the secret of the mysterious man's immortality." Albert explained, "Only by turning the mysterious man into a mortal again can we have a chance to kill him. Before that, any attempt to kill him will be avoided.

It's all stupid."

"You know?" Cedric asked with wide eyes, "You know the secret of You-Know-Who's immortality?"

"You have to ask Dumbledore about this. I think he is the only one who knows best." Albert did not answer the question directly: "We just need to wait patiently for the results, and..."

Albert took out a large bottle of potion from somewhere and poured it directly on Cedric's face.

Fred, George and Li Jordan were all stunned, obviously not understanding what Albert was doing, but they quickly pulled out their wands and reached out to help Albert hold down the struggling Cedric.

There must be a reason why Albert did what he did.

"What's going on?" Fred asked confused.

"It should be the Imperius Curse." Albert said, looking at Cedric.

"you sure?"

The three of them were all surprised, and George even took Cedric's wand directly from the table.

"Even if you make a mistake in judgment, you will only waste a bottle of potion." Looking at Cedric's reaction, Albert became more and more sure that this guy was under the Imperius Curse.

"It's so cunning, I almost got deceived."

"Who do you think cast the Imperius Curse on him?"

"I don't know, but we must have encountered a cunning guy."

"Is your potion reliable? Do you want another bottle, in case he fails to break free from the control of the Imperius Curse?" George looked at Cedric's embarrassed appearance and turned to ask Albert, a spy controlled by the Imperius Curse.

It's really scary to be among them.

"Wait a little longer, I believe that Cedric will definitely be able to break free from the Imperius Curse." Albert glanced at Cedric, seemed to have remembered something, and suddenly said, "It seems that I will have to find time to train in the future to enhance my ability to resist."

Resistance to the Imperius Curse."

"Does it work?"

"It will definitely work. At least it can easily resist the lame Imperius Curse."

"Damn it, what's going on, and can you let me go?"

"It seems you have woken up." The four of them looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.

"But maybe, we'd better test it again."

"No, I'm awake. Thank you. And what's on my face?" Cedric wiped his cheek with a handkerchief and asked angrily.

"It seems to be a potion that can wash away the curse." George explained, "Albert used it to wash away the Imperius Curse from you."
