Chapter 1303 Pay and return
Looking at Albert who was overwhelmed by the crowd in the blink of an eye, Fred and his group listened to the complaints coming from the room not far away, and their faces were filled with unconcealable schadenfreude. It should have been time for Albert to personally Experience it.
"Do you think Albert can settle them?"
Cedric looked at the crowd in the room and asked his companions in a low voice. To be honest, he hopes that Albert can actually solve the problem and make everyone's life less difficult.
"It's hard. It's a matter of money, but the problem is that we don't have money." Shanna is very pessimistic, and she doesn't like the group of guys in the room who don't have the slightest self-knowledge. If she wants to tell them, they should live on their own. Self-destruction, why do such a thankless thing?
"Anyway, don't expect us to donate Galleons." George directly blocked the donation: "Our Galleons didn't come out of thin air."
“Those guys are like three-year-olds, they only know how to complain all day long, and they don’t know how to be grateful.” Fred has never felt that anyone is so disgusting.
It is already very troublesome for them to maintain the normal operation of the Defense Association. After all, the supplies in the Defense Association also need someone to pay for them.
"Maybe, they have lived on dogs for more than ten years." Lee Jordan sarcastically sarcastically. He also didn't understand what Albert was doing with this place. They couldn't possibly help everyone. He believed Albert knew this and expected it to turn out like this.
So, he didn't want to come here.
"At least, Albert saved them."
Cedric admired Albert very much, he saved these people, otherwise many Muggle-born students would have to be arrested and sent to Azkaban. No one dared to bet that they could come out of Azkaban alive.
Cedric knew exactly how much pressure Albert was under for this.
Most members of the Defense Association feel that Albert's doing that is completely thankless, and think that he should manage the Defense Association well, and then slowly expand the number of members of the association. Don't waste your limited energy on them.
Yes, everyone is upset about it.
They even told Albert about this through Shanna, and I believe Albert himself is well aware of this:
They can only provide limited help to everyone, and they are not really satisfactory. Even if it did save a lot of lives, they would have very little real gratitude because they would just remember that someone made them live a hard life.
"At least they are still alive, that's enough. I think this is probably Albert's greatest kindness!" Shanna looked at the figure who was listening carefully and trying to help everyone solve the problem.
“After all, as long as people are alive, there is still hope.”
"I never thought they'd be able to get away with hunting parties, especially if they couldn't use magic."
"If they are really thrown into Azkaban, how many people will survive?"
If they could really mix among Muggles, there wouldn't be so many people here.
In the end, it was because there was no better choice that they came here with Kingsley for refuge. I told them about the situation here from the very beginning, but that group of people never wanted to work hard to change. They complained all day and hoped that Someone can help them improve their difficult environment, just like a crying baby, which is why everyone hates them so much because they are not children anymore, they also have a wand in their hands, and they can use magic to do something.
"Anderson is a really great guy."
Ted Tonks has to admit this. Maybe it is not appropriate to say that he saved the people here, but most people should thank him.
However, Albert didn't care about those children's obvious lack of gratitude. This was one of the reasons why Ted admired him. He only saw this kind of character in Dumbledore.
"I believe Anderson will become a great person like Dumbledore in the future." Ted said firmly.
"He already is!" Shanna corrected.
Ted looked at the noisy room, nodded and said, "You're right, he already is."
The crowd didn't stay to watch the play, but went directly to Ted's room, lest someone could not control the disgust and throw a curse in the room.
Ted was different from other refugees. He was entrusted by the Order of the Phoenix to take care of those students, not to suffer with them. Naturally, he was prepared. He himself lived in a magic tent.
Although it is strange to pitch a tent in a room, living in a tent is undoubtedly much more comfortable than other people.
However, Ted didn't let the other students know about it, otherwise those children with unbalanced mentality would explode on the spot, and God knows what extraordinary things they would do.
"Do you think Albert will succeed?"
"I'm afraid it will be difficult."
"He will, that guy never does anything he's not sure about."
About half an hour later, there was a knock on the door, and Albert came over and asked them to go to the party.
"Can it solve the problem?" Cedric couldn't help asking.
"I'm doing it." Albert said calmly.
"What are you going to do, and give them another Galleon?" Shanna adjusted her eyebrows slightly, she was curious about what solution Albert found.
"I heard from Hannah that they plan to reorganize Dumbledore's Army (DA), and I think this is very good." Albert led everyone into an empty room, and Hannah was waiting for them here.
"Find a place to sit."
Just when everyone was wondering, Albert waved his wand, conjured up several cardboard boxes out of thin air, and turned the cardboard boxes into benches before signaling them to sit down and talk.
After Shanna closed the door and the Weasley twins lit the magic candlesticks, the DA party officially started.
Albert waved his wand again, conjuring a few drinks out of thin air on the table. After he took a sip of the butter beer, he said calmly, "It's hard to change everyone's minds in one go, and Doing that will only make them feel bad, and even make them have rebellious thoughts about who you think you are and why should I listen to you."
"People are cheap, let them suffer, and they will naturally understand Albert's good intentions." Lee Jordan noticed that everyone was looking at him, shrugged, "Don't look at me like that, this is Kenny The original words of thinking."
"We didn't say no." The Weasley brothers looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.
Only Hannah was present with an unnatural expression.
"We need an example." Albert cleared his throat and said, "An example for everyone to follow."
"You mean to recruit members of the Defense Association (DA)." Cedric raised his eyebrows
"Dumbledore's Army." Hannah corrected.
"There's no need to care about the name, it's just a symbol." Albert interrupted the few people who hesitated to speak, and continued: "Hannah, how many people are clearly willing to join DA now?
"Probably seven including me." Hannah was a little curious about what Albert was going to do.
"First of all, you need to clean up three rooms. One is where you gather, which is here. The other two are rooms where you rest." Albert explained, "A comfortable environment and delicious food are conducive to Your solidarity."
"There are only flour and potatoes here." Hannah said helplessly.
"As for the food, I will let Dobby the house elf teach you how to cook all kinds of food. Meat and eggs will also be provided in small quantities, but don't expect too much."
"no problem."
Seeing that Albert is really solving the problem, Hannah is also relieved.
"So, are you planning to use the benefits of the Defense Association to attract everyone to join?" George also realized what Albert was planning to do.
"Can this really work?"
"I just hope to use this to reverse their incorrect thinking. It's too difficult to convince them directly. Some things must be understood by themselves." Albert looked at Hannah and said, "When they find that following us will be more difficult, it will be easier for them to understand." Better off, they will definitely be willing to follow in our footsteps."
"Are you sure they won't treat it as an explosion?" Fred reminded with a frown, "Won't there be a huge conflict because of your different treatment?"
"They spent the Galleons in their own pockets, and asked Mr. Tonks to help them buy them." Albert said without thinking, "It's obviously fine for me to spend money to make myself better."
"There's no shortage of big mouths anywhere," George reminded.
"Yes, so DA members need a token amount of money, and we will take care of the rest. Of course, and it won't cost many Galleons." Albert said calmly.
"Does that make sense?" Hannah asked confused.
"Of course there is. Only things that cost money will be cherished, not wasted at will." Albert looked at Hannah, who was a little stunned, and said, "If you can do this job well, I believe you will definitely be able to manage in the future." It is a rare opportunity to be able to beat others because they have no experience, and I hope you will cherish it.”
After finishing speaking, Albert glanced at Shanna, who looked away in embarrassment.
"I will."
Hannah froze for a moment, and knew that this was more difficult than becoming a prefect, but it was also a very rare opportunity for her to exercise.
"The next thing is the DA party." Albert said to Hannah: "Go and find those few members who are willing to join the DA!"
Although Hannah didn't know what Albert was going to do, she went out and summoned the other DA members.
Everyone was curious about what Albert was going to say alone, but they all felt that this was definitely not a bad thing.
After all, they all support Harry Potter and are willing to join the DA.
As for DA, it doesn't seem to make a difference whether it is the Defense Association or Dumbledore's Army. Anyway, the purpose is to support Harry and resist the mysterious man.
They are also willing to believe that Albert will provide some extra help to their loyal supporters.
Life is kind of rough here.
