Study Days at Hogwarts

If we didn't talk about some embarrassing topics, this dinner would actually be quite enjoyable. As long as Albert is not married, or if he is a bit thick-skinned, he should be able to enjoy the spring breeze of hospitality from the Grangers.

However, Albert was not that kind of person. He never wanted to deceive the Grangers from beginning to end. But he couldn't imagine what would happen if he suddenly mentioned that he was married. Not only would it ruin the warm atmosphere of the Granger family's reunion after a long separation, but it would also embarrass everyone present.

Fortunately, as long as he could handle it tonight, there would be no chance for the two parties to meet again, so Albert decided to leave a good impression on the Grangers.

In order to avoid mentioning some disappointing things and ruining the warm atmosphere of the scene, Albert kept chatting with the Grangers about various trivial matters in life, preparing to take a moment to say goodbye and leave later.

As for the fate of the Granger family, it has nothing to do with him as an outsider.

However, some people don't think so.

When Mrs. Granger brought the after-dinner fruit, Hermione still took the initiative to bring up this sharp topic.

"We plan to settle in Australia. After all, it's hard to take root here. If we go back, we will have to fiddle around for a long time."

The Grangers looked at each other and announced their final decision: to stay in Australia and not return to England.

In fact, they had already considered this issue after they regained their memories and saw their daughter suddenly appear.

Even though the Grangers hoped that their daughter could stay in Australia with them, they knew very well that Hermione, who had become a wizard, was no longer in the same world as them, and the possibility of her being willing to stay in Australia with them was very low.

Because that means Hermione needs to abandon everything in the past and start over. This kind of thing is too cruel for the young couple in front of her. Therefore, the Grangers never said anything to try to keep Hermione, they just looked at their daughter calmly, waiting for her to make her own choice.

"I want to go back to Hogwarts for my last semester."

When Hermione said these words, the Grangers already knew their daughter's decision. They were not surprised by this result. Anyone who was not a fool could see that their daughter liked this young man named Albert very much.

It was normal for Hermione to want to stay in the UK, and they had been mentally prepared for it.

"Albert, Hermione is begging you!" Mrs. Granger took Albert's hand and begged her seriously.

"I'll take good care of her."

Albert sighed silently in his heart, but finally did not withdraw his hand. Of course he could hear what the Grangers meant, but...well, he could indeed save Hermione a lot of trouble, let her graduate from school smoothly, arrange a house for her, and successfully enter the Ministry of Magic to work, and have A life of your own.

"I just received an invitation to temporarily stay at Hogwarts as the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor." Albert gave a reassuring smile to the Grangers.

Both the Grangers were curious about how Albert could serve as a professor in the school at such a young age, especially after hearing from Hermione about Albert's role during the Wizarding War. They were almost shocked from ear to ear. .

For this reason, Mr. Granger believed that Albert had a rare trip to Australia and should take this opportunity to travel around and see the country, and offered to help him book a room in the hotel later.

To be honest, this made Albert feel troubled, and the smile on his face became a little stiff.

This is trying to push my daughter into the fire pit!

In the end, Albert declined the Grangers' kindness and said that he had a mobile house in his suitcase and there was no need to worry about accommodation.

What's more, Albert never thought of staying in Australia overnight. If he didn't go home tonight, God knows if there would be a explosion at home. Although he mentioned that something unexpected might happen before coming to Australia, Albert still didn't want to go home without any reason, so as not to bring any bad ideas to Isobel.

Mr. Granger was very curious about Albert's "mobile house", and Hermione almost never showed too much about the magic of magic in front of them.

Naturally, Albert would not refuse to satisfy the Grangers' curiosity, so he opened the suitcase at his feet and invited them in with a smile.

Fortunately, since this was used as a tool for moving people, there are not many traces of Isobel in it.

“It’s incredible, it’s like a mobile manor here!”

Especially when he saw the vast courtyard outside through the window, Mr. Granger couldn't help but marvel at the magic of it.

Who could have imagined that there is such a small world inside the box?

Albert invited them to sit down for a cup of tea and made them a cup of the specialty rose lemon tea here.

"This place completely overturned my impression of wizards. I thought wizards all lived in a place similar to Diagon Alley."

The Grangers, who are dentists, are sensitive to sweets and only add a very small amount of honey to their tea.

"It is indeed easy for wizards to give people the illusion of living centuries ago." Albert understood it very well and explained with a smile, "Magic and technology conflict to some extent, which is also what I am studying. One of the topics. But..."

Albert mentioned that he was currently building a wizarding village in the UK, and tactfully told the two of them that it was not that he did not want to stay in Australia for a while, but that there were indeed things in the UK that needed his attention, and he could not leave for too long. .

Of course, this is not actually an excuse. It is indeed not suitable for him to leave the UK for too long. In order to convince them of his words, Albert also showed them the architectural model of the village.

After all, he needed to paint a picture for everyone and give them something to look forward to, so Albert took some time to come up with it in order to mobilize their energy and enthusiasm to invest in building their homes.

"This doesn't look like a wizarding village. It's more advanced than most communities." Mrs. Granger became more and more satisfied, even a little uneasy, because Albert was too good, and good men never There will be a shortage of girls.

Why is my daughter like a piece of wood?

That won't work!

"You finally reunited with your family. You must have a lot to say, so I won't bother you any more."

When everyone left the suitcase, Albert smiled and handed Hermione a two-way mirror for communication, and explained: "Whenever you want to return to England, just tell me through the double mirror, and I will come back then." Pick you up."

"Oh, are you going back?" Hermione looked disappointed.

"I can't leave for too long, otherwise they might mess things up." He thought for a while and added, "If the double-sided mirror fails due to the distance, I will come back in ten days."

The Grangers didn't try to keep Albert any longer, and they sent Albert to the door together.

"Go ahead, be bold my daughter!"

Looking at Albert waving goodbye to them, Mrs. Granger gently pushed Hermione behind her and reminded her in a low voice: "We can't do anything to help you in the future. You should hold on to what belongs to you." of love and happiness.”

"Wait a minute Albert!"

After Hermione handed the two-way mirror to her mother, she ran after Albert and hugged him from behind, causing Albert to freeze as he was about to apparate away.
