Summary: Albus finds the perfect house.
The encounter with Tom made him rethink his strategy. He needed to go after Tom, but first he needed to find a safe place from where to conduct business. He loved Hogwart's, but it was not his anymore, and while he knew that Longbottom would do what he thought was right, it meant that Albus didn't have the control he needed. Besides, he had never liked to have the Order at Hogwart's. Secrets could never be kept there. Too many students, too many portraits, too many house elves and too many ghosts. No, he needed some place where he could have control. It was time to talk to his old friends, his real friends.
One name came to mind: Elphias. The Doge family had been one of the wizarding families that had settled at Mould-on-the-Wold. He'd become friend with Elphias when he was only a little child, had become friends in school, and then had remained friends through the years. Albus knew that he could count on the man, but he didn't like the idea of returning to his childhood home. However, the war came first.
Elphias was older now, thirty years at their age had their impact, but he was still Albus' friend and a man who would help without question. When Albus asked, the answer was immediate. The Doge home would become Albus' new home and the home of the Order. Now, it was time for Albus to put all the spells around the house so that they would be safe as they got ready for Tom and his next move.
