Study Days at Hogwarts

After eating iced watermelon to relieve the heat, and everyone sat down to chat for a while, Katrina and Mrs. McDougal both got up to do their own things.

Recently, Mrs. McDougal, at the suggestion of Albert and Isobel, began to compile her "Family Therapy Manual" to pass the time in the safe house. Katrina was called to help organize the information. Learn something to prepare for opening a beauty shop in the future.

There's nothing wrong with finding something to do for yourself.

"Is this... really good?"

After the two left, Isobel turned to look at Albert.

"What?" Albert asked in confusion, obviously not responding.

"Is it really okay for you to tell all those things?" Isobel knew that Albert had many secrets hidden in his heart, and it was rare for him to tell others. Even she only knew a small part of them.

"Either you said that, or you just want to reassure them and let them stay in the safe house and stop running around." Albert's Legilimency level is not low, and he can probably guess what Katrina and Mrs. McDougal are thinking. As I thought, I couldn't help but sigh slightly, feeling that things were getting a little complicated.

"It's not like what you would do. It could easily affect your image in their minds." Isobel looked up and down Albert's face and said softly, "Maybe they thought you had finally revealed your true colors."

"Revealed?" Albert looked stunned.

"Yes, the true colors are revealed." Isobel nodded and said.

"But...haven't I always been like this?" Albert muttered, "I never go out of my way to disguise myself."

"I actually feel like you're not lying."

Isobel was a little surprised. She was a natural telepathizer. Even if someone closed their brain, they could still intuitively judge whether the other person was lying.

"Because I didn't lie at all. People are complicated creatures." Albert patted his thigh and motioned for Isobel to sit over. He liked the feeling of holding Isobel.

"Aren't you hot? And aren't you going out later?"

Isobel grabbed Albert's extended hand and slightly adjusted her sitting posture to make herself more comfortable.

"No rush, it's not an important matter anyway."

Albert hugged Isobel and asked curiously, "What image do I have in your minds?"

"You don't know?" Isobel raised her eyebrows slightly.

"What image? Are you a good gentleman?" Albert asked with a smile. He actually didn't care much about his image in other people's minds, but when Isobel mentioned this matter, he couldn't help but feel a little curious. After all, he likes As a girl, it is impossible to say that you are not curious.

"Thoughtful, gentle and considerate, considerate, able to care for women, gentle personality..."

"I'm almost blushing from what you said." Albert interrupted Isobel and reached out to touch his cheek, "I didn't know I had so many advantages?"

"You're not very happy yourself."

Isobel could see through Albert's hypocritical face at a glance. Although she said that, she was actually very happy in her heart.

"Yeah, I'm glad someone praised me like that, especially when it's you." Albert didn't deny this either. "How about if you keep talking more, I think I can still stand it."

"Then what kind of person do you think you are?" Isobel asked with a smile.

"Selfish, lazy, greedy, lustful, afraid of death. Well, and insidious." Albert briefly summarized his character traits.

Isobel turned her head in surprise and looked at Albert up and down, probably not expecting that Albert would use a bunch of negative words to evaluate herself.

"I think your biggest flaw is hypocrisy."

Isobel nodded again as if to reaffirm her words.

"No, no, I'm not hypocritical at all, I just rarely exaggerate myself." Albert shook his head and said, "Europeans are somewhat overconfident or arrogant, so they think I'm hypocritical. I just know who I am and live more authentically than most people, that’s all.”

"So, you think you are selfish, lazy, greedy, lustful, afraid of death, and insidious?" Isobel actually didn't feel many shortcomings from Albert.

"Everyone has a different view of people and things."

"Take myself as an example." Albert said with a smile, "If I were not greedy, where do you think my large sum of galleons came from? Just based on the ten thousand galleons that Bard and the others gave me? "

"You probably don't know how many galleons we have, right? It's much more than you expected. Even if we don't work in our lives, we probably won't be able to spend it all."

Isobel knew that Albert was very rich. As for how much money he had, she really had no idea. Anyway, she just didn't have to worry about spending it.

"Do you think I helped the Weasley brothers open their shop just to help them fulfill their wishes?"

Isobel just listened quietly to Albert.

"That's because I see the prospect of earning a lot of galleons while lying down. Any capitalist is greedy." Albert laughed at himself, "Although I think I may not be worthy of the word capitalist."

"So, you are willing to help open a beauty shop because you are optimistic about its prospects." Isobel had already guessed this.

"Well, I can make money, and you will be happy too. Why not do a win-win deal?"

"Tell me what makes you horny. I'm actually more interested in this." Isobel said softly, "Actually, I don't feel how horny you are."

"That's because you are a beauty yourself, the most beautiful girl in the school." Albert put his head next to Isobel and took a big breath of the girl's fragrance.

"Even if you praise me like this..." Isobel seemed to be in a good mood.

"So, after you are picked up by me, other girls naturally don't need to consider it. After all, you can only marry one wife, so naturally choose the best and most suitable one."

"How many wives do you want to have?"

"Every man wants it. As long as there are conditions, few can refuse it."

"It's a pity that I can only marry one." Isobel said softly.

"yes!"

"Where are the other girls?" Isobel asked, "I mean where are Catherine and Valeria?"

"They are all beautiful, and they seem to be a bit interesting." Albert said softly, "Catherine is a bit like you. She is also a genius, very beautiful, and a very charming girl. It's a pity..."

"Kathleen does have a crush on you. If you settle in the United States, she might consider pursuing you." Isobel reminded.

"Unfortunately, she lives in the United States and is unlikely to leave the United States, and I hate the magical environment in the United States, so the two parties are destined not to have much intersection. At most, they can become lovers, and if not, they are not even lovers. .”

"Where's Valeria?"

"As for Valeria, that girl is very thoughtful. Of course, I'm not saying that's bad, but I think she's very suitable to be a lover."

"Do you want to find a lover?" Isobel suddenly asked.

"A lot of men's dreams, are you jealous?"

"That little girl with vampire blood is suitable, right?" Isobel asked again.

"You said Yanila, that girl is different. She has been aiming to be someone else's lover from the beginning." Albert secretly observed Isobel's face and continued, "It's quite exciting. , but in fact it’s just like that, the kind that I don’t see a few times a year.”

"You are honest." Isobel was not angry, but sighed: "If they hear it, they will probably be very sad."

"They all know it's impossible, but princesses always fantasize about having a Prince Charming to marry them." Albert asked curiously, "Have you never fantasized about your own Prince Charming?"

"No, I can see through most people's thoughts." Isobel was silent for a moment, then continued to ask, "Where is Katrina?"

"She." Albert glanced at Isobel and sighed inwardly and said, "She is a bit like my sister, but I already have a sister, and Nia is also very beautiful, so I am not interested in looking for another one for the time being. A sister."

"Originally, I planned to spend two years looking for her slowly." Albert recalled. "During the first year of school, I needed to get familiar with the magical world as soon as possible, so naturally I had to postpone finding a girlfriend."

"Twelve years old?" Isobel muttered.

"Yeah, so I never deny that I'm horny." Albert said with a smile, "Then I met you."

"What was your first impression of me?" Isobel asked.

"A very pretty girl, I always feel a little impressed."

"Katrina?"

"Yes, Katrina was on my mind."

"Consider the scope." Isobel said softly.

"In the same class, the right age, in Ravenclaw, and very beautiful." Albert said generously, "As long as I am not in Slytherin, I will consider building a good relationship first and becoming someone who can speak with me. My friends, I have a pretty good relationship with most of the girls.”

Isobel thought about the initial relationship between the two, and it seemed to be the same, but because of her initiative, the two parties heated up a bit quickly.

"Who else? Cho, or that Granger."

"You are more in line with my ideal wife, and you are also a smart beauty. I don't bother to look for beautiful girls anymore." Albert raised the corner of his mouth slightly and said, "Besides, you were also very beautiful at that time. He is proactive and can also use Legilimency. Wouldn't it be a big loss if he loses it? Besides, he can only have one wife. How can he expect to win over someone else and make him his lover? "

"Can't you fall in love normally?" Isobel was a little speechless, and suddenly understood why Albert said she was lustful.

"That's what I thought at first," Albert recalled.

"Katrina's character is much better." Isobel said suddenly.

"After all, I have graduated and grown up. Like Nia, I have become a beautiful girl." Albert said softly, "Don't look at me like that, I'm not an idiot, I know what I want. "

"It seems that I should be proud of my charm." Isobel blocked Albert's mouth, still a little proud in her heart. They were going to get married soon, and she could feel that most of Albert's thoughts were on On her.

In fact, the conversation just now was all nonsense.

Isobel never worried about other girls, she was just a little worried about her sister. Albert obviously realized that it was inappropriate for Katrina to live with them. Even Katrina herself realized it.

They all know the reason, but they don't really have a good choice at the moment.

Isobel was obviously not at ease about letting Katrina and Mrs. McDoug go to other safe houses. This was undoubtedly the safest place, and she would be accompanied by her family.

Isobel was worried about something happening to them, just like they were worried about something happening to Albert.

The two finally ended the topic that was not conducive to family harmony, and the problem was temporarily solved. As long as Albert didn't move his mind, there would be no problem, but Isobel actually knew very well that over time, the complicated relationship It was still easy to go wrong, and even Mrs. McDougal realized that it was not suitable for the four of them to live here, so she chose to write a book and hooked up with Katrina.

"I think Mrs. McDougal is afraid that something will happen to me." Albert changed the somewhat embarrassing topic.

"It's good that you know." Isobel looked at Albert with resentment, "After all, the enemy is the notorious Death Eater and the mysterious man. It is normal for my mother to be worried. She is very worried that I will become like her. son."

"So, she asked us to have a baby early?" It was actually not difficult for Albert to understand Mrs. McDougal's thoughts. Isobel and Katrina had always been her motivation to continue living.

"What about you?" Albert asked, "What are your plans?"

"What?"

"Do you want a child?" Albert asked directly, "You are still very young. If you want a child now..."

"I don't know." Isobel shook her head. Just like Albert said, she was too young. If the mentality of both of them were not relatively mature, they would still be considered children, and Albert would even be a child. Nineteen years old, Isobel has just turned twenty.

To make matters worse, what followed was war time.

Perhaps Albert also took this into consideration when he brought her mother, not only to protect her, but also to prevent someone who could accompany and take care of her if she really got pregnant accidentally.

"Don't feel pressure, I support your choice." Albert kissed Isobel's cheek and said.

"That's why you said that to them?" Isobel looked at Albert with a strange expression.

"An insidious, cunning and smart person can always protect himself well." Albert said softly, "It can also make them feel at ease."

"Maybe, we should have a child." Isobel hesitated for a moment. She actually felt that this decision was a bit ridiculous. According to Albert's prediction, this war would not last long, and she could get pregnant by then. Children, but humans are not absolutely rational creatures after all.

"Why?"

Albert put his head on Isobel's belly, as if he wanted to hear if there was any movement in the belly.

"I thought you could guess it."

"Actually, you don't need to care about what they say at all. It depends on what you mean." Albert said softly. They are very cautious in that regard. Although Isobel probably won't care too much if she gets pregnant unexpectedly, having a child too early may not be a good thing for them.

"I think they are right." Isobel had been hesitating, but Mrs. McDougal's words still made her determined.

In fact, not only her mother, but also Albert's parents thought so. They felt that their children and wife should be Albert's shackles, so that he should consider the consequences when taking risks.

There was no doubt that Albert had a greater sense of family responsibility than most, and they all felt that.

"Then I'm afraid I need to work harder."

Albert was a little surprised by Isobel's decision, but he didn't object too much. Hiding in this safe house protected by the Loyalty Curse, he didn't have to worry about safety issues. House elves were to some extent more reliable than wizards. , and with a child, the situation may improve.

Isobel lowered her head and looked at the yawning cat, reached out and touched its fur, pretending not to hear what Albert just said.

"When is the specific time set?"

"The 13th of next month." Albert patted Isobel and motioned for the other person to get up from him, "It may be postponed for a day or two. We will see the specific time then. In short, before the 12th of next month, We will leave the UK first."

"Are you going out?" Isobel helped Albert sort out his somewhat messy clothes.

"Well, I have to go and see how that store is doing." Albert said with a smile, "Besides, I got a lot of business for them a while ago."

Today is the last day of the month. If the Ministry of Magic really plans to take action against the Death Eaters, it will definitely not give up ordering dark magic defense items from Fred and George. Although it is not very effective, not all Death Eaters will just take it. Throwing black magic around.

"Be safe," Isobel said.

"I will. I won't be back at noon. I'll have dinner at home."

Albert put the wand back into his gloves, then began to put on the dark magic defense items for himself, before disappearing from the doorway under Isobel's gaze.
