Study Days at Hogwarts

In the early morning, the sky was just getting bright, and the breeze was blowing, bringing the coolness of the summer night.

The two people on the bed are still asleep, but they will wake up soon. They have recently developed the habit of morning exercise.

Isobel opened her eyes suddenly and sat up from the bed. The thin blanket slipped from her white and smooth skin. She didn't care about it. She just stretched out her hand to hold her forehead and gasped for air, as if she had just had a nightmare. .

"What's wrong?"

Albert was awakened by the movement around him. He opened his eyes drowsily and looked at Isobel, who seemed to be having a nightmare. He put his arms around her shoulders and let her lean on his shoulders.

"I just had a nightmare."

Isobel opened her eyes again, breathed calmly and said, "I dreamed that something happened to my mother and those Death Eaters couldn't find us, so..."

Albert stretched out his hand, and the metal book flew from the bedside table and fell into his palm. He spread it out in front of Isobel, pointed to Mrs. McDougal's ink dots and said, "Don't worry, dear, Mrs. McDougal is safe now."

"I know it's just a nightmare, but wizards' dreams are sometimes warnings." Isobel had learned divination, and even though she couldn't predict the future like Albert, she knew very well what it meant.

"We have a time turner, so don't worry." Albert comforted softly, "If you are still worried, invite her to live here temporarily?"

"I'm afraid Mom won't give up her work." Isobel leaned her head on Albert's shoulder and sighed softly. She actually agreed with Albert's proposal to let Mrs. MacDoug stay outside alone. Not safe.

Especially as their wedding is approaching and Albert is on the blacklist of the mysterious man, Mrs. McDougal's situation becomes quite delicate. Never try to bet on the integrity of dark wizards, they can do anything. Gotta come out.

"I think she will agree. If not, I have a way to convince her." Albert kissed Isobel's cheek and said confidently, "So, don't worry."

"Will she really agree?"

Isobel had just had a nightmare and felt that most of her body's strength had been drained away. She was very tired and collapsed in Albert's arms.

"Will do."

"What are you going to do?"

She wanted to stay in bed and get back to sleep, but she knew she had to brace herself now.

"The worst-case scenario is to temporarily modify part of her memory." Albert said without hesitation: "This will happen sooner or later. When the Death Eaters suffer heavy losses in the Aurors, they will definitely lose their minds and think crazy. To take revenge on us, as you might expect, the Death Eaters will find Mrs. McDougal after they can't find us."

"We are going to convince her this morning and call Katrina, preferably before she goes to work." Isobel looked sideways at the mechanical clock on the wall, struggled to get up from Albert, and began to prepare to change clothes. It was better not to wait, especially after having the nightmare, Isobel realized that she should have followed Albert's advice and persuaded Mrs. McDougal to hide.

Although Albert had been prepared for it early on, the time turner was not a panacea for regrets, and she did not want to risk her family's lives.

"Calm down, honey, I'm in a panic!"

Albert hugged Isobel's waist from behind and reminded softly, "Calm down, you just had a nightmare, and we will go there later to convince Mrs. McDougal, but before that you need to calm down. "

"you're right."

Isobel took a deep breath to gradually calm down, and the deep fatigue came to her heart again.

Nothing happened, it was just a nightmare. They just needed to take precautions in advance so that they would not encounter such trouble.

After a while, the sleeping Katrina was also awakened. She was surprised that Albert and Isobel actually planned to persuade Mrs. McDougal to give up her work temporarily.

However, she actually agreed with the proposal, because it was really dangerous outside, and Albert also had a lot of hatred against the Death Eaters and the mysterious man, and Mrs. Mac was left alone outside, and she was likely to be watched by the Death Eaters. superior.

No, it's not very likely, but he will definitely be targeted.

That's never a good thing.

The three of them hurried to the safe house where Mrs. Mac lived, intending to intercept the other person before they went to work.

"Why are you here?"

Mrs. McGonagall looked at the three people who appeared in the hall, and looked very surprised at her eldest daughter who came forward to give her a hug.

"Isobel had a nightmare that something happened to you, so we hurried over." Albert glanced at the breakfast on the table. He was a little hungry.

"Nightmare?"

Mrs. MacDougal looked at Isobel in confusion, obviously not understanding why she was so nervous.

"Recently, the entire magical world is unsafe, and we think it's best to hide it first." Albert explained.

"We think you should give up your job temporarily and move in with us." Katrina explained, "Besides, Isobel is getting married. You can't ignore your daughter's wedding just because of work!"

Mrs. McGonagall opened her mouth, turned her gaze to her future son-in-law, and asked, "Did you predict it?"

She didn't believe that just because Isobel had a nightmare, the three of them would rush to find her.

"I'm sorry about this, it was me who caused you trouble." Albert said apologetically, "I have offended the Death Eaters and You-Know-Who a little bit recently, and everyone is worried that they will offend you."

"When the Death Eaters can't find your home, they'll just break into St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Maladies and arrest you."

"What would you do if I didn't agree?"

"Knock you out and take you away." Albert said softly.

"Has the situation really become that bad?" Mrs. McDougal sighed softly, knowing that she had no choice.

"It's terrible," Isobel said. "I don't think the risk should be taken."

"Isobel may also need your care after a while."

Mrs. McGonagall suddenly moved her eyes towards her daughter, looking up and down, not knowing what she was looking at.

"What's wrong, Mom?" Isobel asked doubtfully.

"Are you pregnant?"

Katrina also suddenly turned her head to look at Isobel, her movements were so fast that she almost broke her neck.

"Not yet." Isobel glared at Albert.

"If you want to have children, you must be prepared and aware to welcome new life." Mrs. MacDoug gently reminded.

"we know."

"I'm going to pack my things and send a letter to the director of St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Maladies by the way?"

Mrs. McDougal looked at her two daughters, then at her son-in-law, and sighed softly. She could see that no matter what she said, the three of them planned to take her away for protection.

"No, leave first. The house elf will come and pack your things." Albert had no intention of staying here, especially since Isobel and the others were still around. He went directly into the suitcase and asked the house elf to take the suitcase with him. box home.

"You really don't want to consider settling abroad?" Mrs. McDougal suddenly asked

"We have no plans to do so for the time being." Albert shook his head and said, "Besides, it may not be safe abroad."

"Did you join Dumbledore's Order of the Phoenix?"

"No, his Order of the Phoenix is ​​unreliable."

Mrs. McDougal was silent for a long time, and suddenly said to Isobel, "After you get married, have a child first, and I can help you take care of it."

After saying that, she looked at Albert again and reminded, "Don't always do those dangerous things. Your life has just begun. Don't risk your own life."
