Chapter 1616: A War Without a Winner (Sixty-six)

"A-choo!"

Albert turned his head to cover a sneeze, reached out from his pocket to take out a handkerchief, and rubbed his nose vigorously.

"Are you okay?"

Hermione looked away from the parchment in front of her and looked at Albert, who sneezed several times, in surprise.

"Maybe someone is saying bad things about me behind my back!"

Albert casually revealed this matter and planned to continue talking to Hermione about the latest plan to supply power to Avalon.

However, Hermione had lost interest in the parchment in her hand. After raising her head and looking around carefully to confirm that there was no one around, she deliberately lowered her voice and teased Albert: "I'm sure your lovers are talking about you."

Although there is a risk of exposure due to excessive intimacy, Hermione likes this feeling very much.

"Do you also want to attend the welcome party tonight?"

Albert directly pointed out Hermione's thoughts and was puzzled as to why the other party was interested in such a thing.

"I think so! After all, everyone is going, and it doesn't seem good for me not to go, and it's too crowded!"

Hermione looked at Albert expectantly, hoping that he could come up with a good idea so that she could also take time to attend the welcome banquet tonight.

"The time converter can only go back five hours, which is a bit short." Albert thought for a moment, and shook his head, "I may not have the extra energy to help you cover up by then."

Hermione knew her situation very well, but she was still a little disappointed when she heard Albert say that, "It seems that I can only give up. It is really irrational to take risks for such things."

After all, this road was chosen by Hermione herself. No matter what the result is, she can't blame others. She can only grit her teeth and continue to walk with tears.

This is undoubtedly not a pleasant topic, so Albert took the initiative to change the subject and talk about another thing.

"The house has been chosen. It is in a newly built Muggle apartment in the suburbs of London."

"The house is not... Oh, you mean our love nest!"

Hermione was stunned for a moment, and soon came back to her senses, realizing that the house Albert was talking about was their real home.

"I have already cast the Fidelius Charm on that place. I will take you there in a while." Albert took the plan from Hermione, put the third plan into the folder, and then led Hermione to the hillside.

"However, there is no furniture in the apartment. I will accompany you to buy it when the time comes. I am afraid you will have to clean the house by yourself."

Albert told Hermione about this when there was no one around, hoping to make her feel better.

"I feel that the apartment you prepared will not be used many times." Hermione looked at Albert's back and said resentfully.

"After a while, I will see if I can get a disappearing cabinet or a single-line Floo network, so that it will be more convenient to go to the apartment."

Albert did not think that the apartment was useless. For them, a place where no one disturbed them was very important.

"I thought you would prepare a suitcase for me." Hermione actually liked Albert's suitcase. The space of that thing was large enough, convenient and secretive enough, and it was not picky about the place. It was a good place for two people who needed to race against time for a date.

"So you've set your sights on my box, but it's a pity that it takes a lot of effort to make that thing." Albert was stunned for a moment, shook his head and refused, "Besides, you have to spend a lot of time maintaining it. Without the help of the house elves, it would be a disaster. The most important thing is that you don't feel like home when you stay in the box."

Hermione didn't like staying in the box, but she had a special liking for the place where they first made love.

"I remember that apartments in London should be very expensive, you wouldn't..." Hermione changed the subject abruptly.

"If there is no added value, a house is not worth anything at all. Just look at the cost of building our villa."

Albert stopped and put the folder in his hand in Hermione's hand, smiling and said, "I never deny that I used some tricks to get the house at cost price."

"You should consider this as robbery."

Hermione could of course hear Albert's quibbling, but she had to admit that Albert's words made sense.

Because the pounds they spent on building this Avalon were much less than expected.

After approaching the house being built on the hillside, Albert and Hermione tacitly ended their previous ambiguous topic and brought the topic back to the arrangement of the power project.

The original fantastic idea was eventually used as a backup solution for nighttime and cloudy days.

The only problem was the battery.

This problem had not been well solved in his time. They mostly used water storage and electricity storage to solve the problem of nighttime electricity.

"The Muggle world has lost a great scientist." Hermione sighed softly.

In order to introduce electricity to Avalon, Hermione had investigated the power generation model in the UK and knew that Albert's water storage and electricity storage was a new idea. You must know that Albert spent most of his time in the magic world that was incompatible with the Muggle world, but he was still able to think of so many solutions in a short time!

"Scientists are indeed great, but they don't live as comfortably as capitalists." Albert prefers to enjoy a wonderful life.

"Why?"

"Because the social ideology of the Muggle world today is dominated by capitalism, so it is natural to be a capitalist and live comfortably." Albert said in a self-deprecating tone, "Of course, you can have it all. Great scientists can also be capitalists, just like Edison in the United States."

Hermione was stunned for a moment, obviously not understanding what Albert said, so she changed the subject and asked, "So, are you going to adopt plan three?"

"If plan one can solve Avalon's power supply problem, then use plan one. After all, we are still not sure whether it is reliable to use electricity in the wizarding world." Albert knew what he was doing.

"As for the problem of insufficient power supply when the village expands in the future, let the residents here decide whether to adopt Plan No. 3!"

"The main reason is that the project of Plan No. 3 is huge. Before that time, you can't expect others to understand you. Moreover, maybe by then, the Muggles will have more convenient power generation equipment!"

"I always feel that you are more radical than others." Hermione frowned slightly, as if she thought of something, and reminded, "You should be very clear about the attitude of the magic world towards Muggles."

"In the last few days of Grindelwald's life, I went to Nurmengard to see him off for the last time, and I also talked with Grindelwald for a while." Albert sighed softly, "He believes that many laws drafted by the Ministry of Magic never protect Muggles, but wizards themselves."

"You probably don't feel anything about this matter, but I have been to North America, and the attitude of wizards there towards Muggles is the most true portrayal of the protection law."
