Study Days at Hogwarts

Chapter 1618 A war without a winner (sixty-eight)

Next came the girls' vows, which were not as solemn as Albert expected, and the content had been discussed from the beginning. The only thing that made Albert feel weird was that Isobel became a witness to the unbreakable vows made by the four of them.

To be honest, this matter is full of weirdness. The wife actually serves as a witness to her husband and his lover.

This is probably the first time in history!

But looking at Isobel's face, there was no dissatisfaction at all, and she even... smiled happily.

Yes, she didn't seem to mind that her husband had a few more beautiful lovers, and she was also happy that the three beautiful girls in front of her were tightly tied to Albert.

Such a harmonious family scene is really incredible.

In fact, even Catherine, Valeria and Louise were shocked by Isobel's big belly, and they didn't expect that things would go so smoothly.

Although there is a widespread love culture in Europe, it is actually more common in the Muggle world and is still relatively rare in the wizarding world.

However, if they think about it carefully, they have no intention of competing with Isobel for a man. Becoming Albert's lover is more of a further bundle of interests in terms of win-win cooperation.

This can be regarded as a compromise for Isobel. With Albert's strong attraction to other girls, it is only a matter of time before other lovers emerge.

Instead of letting Albert find some inexplicable women outside, it would be more reliable to find a beautiful girl he is familiar with and has interests in.

They have already reached a consensus in this regard.

After finishing the oath early, Albert was rushed to take a bath by Isobel to prepare for the following welcome dinner. And the three Catherines also got what they wanted from Isobel after Albert left. The magic potion formula of "Youth and Vitality", as well as detailed relevant records.

"There are three improved versions in total. The 'Youth and Vitality' we are currently using belongs to the third version. The taste has not changed much, and the effect... doesn't seem to have any special feeling." Isobel handed over the folder full of information. After giving them to Kathleen and the three of them, she briefly introduced the general situation of mandrake wine to the three of them, "Anyway, we haven't felt the effect of 'Youth and Vitality' on extending life span and preventing aging. It shouldn't be able to rejuvenate the youth." , so you must be mentally prepared.”

"It does sound like a lie," Valeria muttered.

"Even if you regret it, it's already too late." Kathleen rolled her eyes at her best friend.

"We're not here for this." Louise looked at Isobel, "Is there anything else we need to pay attention to?"

"Prolonging the storage time is likely to help enhance the efficacy of 'Youth and Vitality'. According to Albert's inference, it will take about three years for the effect to become stronger."

Isobel took a deep look at Louise and added, "You can each copy a copy of the information, but the original version needs to be kept, and it may be improved in the future. Also, the recipe cannot be passed on to others. Brewing The 'Youth and Vitality' can only be used by yourself."

With that said, Isobel greeted the three of them and then went to take a shower.

"Do you think this thing is really effective?" The person who spoke this time was Kathleen.

"Probably... it works." Valeria said uncertainly, "She doesn't have to play tricks on us. Lying won't do Isobel any good."

"I think Isobel herself doesn't know whether this wine brewed from mandrake roots is effective or not." Louise said calmly, "She wants to believe that it is probably because Albert said it is effective, so she has always been Are taking it.”

In fact, whether "Youth and Vitality" has any effect is the same to Louise. She doesn't value it very much, and since Albert says it is effective, she will drink it too. At least she doesn't think that Albert He will cheat his wife, and there will be no benefit in doing so.

"Actually, I believe it, but it feels a little unreal." Kathleen slowly flipped through the folder. The information inside was very detailed. There were photos and notes on the selection and processing of raw materials, and the brewing process was also recorded in detail. It simply teaches you how to brew "youth and vitality" step by step.

However, what concerned the three of them the most was the test of mandrake wine, which had only two cases.

Albert's old cat Tom, this old cat, after taking mandrake wine, does have the effect of prolonging life and preventing aging.

Probably because cats live too long to see the effects of mandrake wine.

Therefore, Albert later raised a fat hamster named Jerry, which lived for more than three years. The cause of his death was that the house elf ran out of the cage while feeding and was killed by Tom.

"How long can an average mouse live?" Louise suddenly asked.

"One or two years, that thing should be very short-lived." Valeria's eyes almost lit up. She felt that the credibility of this information was quite high.

"Three years is too long." Kathleen closed the folder and muttered, "Maybe we should ask him to get some first, and then go back and brew it ourselves. It would be best if he took the time to teach us how to make it himself, so as not to There were mistakes.”

Mandrake wine cannot rejuvenate people, which means the sooner you take it, the better, no one will refuse to stay young forever.

The most important thing is that although the three of them are still young and beautiful, Kathleen, the oldest of the three, is already on the verge of aging.

"I think you guys care too much about this."

Looking at Katharine and Valeria who were discussing 'Youth and Vitality' in a low voice, Louise had to raise her voice to remind, "Have you noticed that Albert doesn't look at us with much emotion in his eyes? Not even much desire.”

Yes, even if the three beautiful girls in front of him did not arouse much desire in Albert, it was more like just a process for them to become his lovers.

"It's normal. There is no shortage of beautiful girls around Albert, and they are also a pair of beautiful sisters. It would be the same for you." Kathleen was very calm.

"Then what's the point of us becoming Albert's lovers?" Louise suddenly felt a little confused.

"After a long time, even the most beautiful woman will feel bored. It is necessary to change her taste. This is the role of a lover. Otherwise, when would you have seen the absurdity of a wife finding a lover for her husband." Valery Ya saw it clearly and looked at Louise with a strange expression, "Do you really think Isobel is a fool? That is the smartest woman I have ever seen."

"We don't have much affection for each other to begin with, and we are far apart. Naturally, Isobel doesn't mind that Albert has a few more lovers. As for that contract, it can be regarded as a guarantee to stabilize the mutual interest relationship." Kai Saleen also sees things very clearly. Everyone can get the relationship they want and everyone is happy.

"If you want to get Albert's love, you can try to come here a few times. France is only one strait away from England anyway, but I think Isobel will definitely be unhappy."

"That is a smart woman, smarter than anyone else, so she became the winner in life that countless people envied, and she also got what countless people dream of,

Valeria warned meaningfully: "So don't try to be clever."
