Study Days at Hogwarts

Chapter 1656 A War Without Winners (One Hundred and Six)

It would be nice to have an office of your own. Some private matters do require a private space, especially after the Room of Requirement on the eighth floor of the castle was completely exposed, he needed such an office even more.

As for the fact that the location and layout of the office were not very good, Albert didn't care at all. After all, it was the office left over by other professors. It was normal to encounter such a situation. Moreover, he would probably not use this office too often in his future career as a professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts.

After greeting Professor McGonagall, Albert said goodbye and left Hogwarts Castle. It was not that he was slow to notice Professor McGonagall's kindness and invitation, but that he really had no interest in this. He could only say sorry in his heart.

Although Albert didn't mind teaching others knowledge, he was really not interested in becoming a professor at Hogwarts. Forget about being an educator. Albert never thought he had the patience and perseverance to do so. He knew better than anyone that he was just going through the motions at Hogwarts.

Before going home, Albert went to Avalon again to deliver the latest batch of butter beer ordered in Diagon Alley.

In such hot weather, iced cold drinks have always been an indispensable artifact to relieve the heat, and Albert never treats his own people badly. Everyone has worked hard for the construction of Avalon, so he naturally does not hesitate to spend those Galleons.

If you want to be a leader, don't be stingy.

Albert never thought that he could have the charm of Dumbledore, and things like the Order of the Phoenix are more like the product of the times, which cannot be copied and do not want to be copied.

...

"Oh, are they back?"

After returning from Avalon, Albert did not see the other three girls in the living room, so he raised his eyebrows slightly and turned his head to look at Isobel who was sitting on the sofa in the living room reading a book.

"What? I don't want to hug you." Isobel looked at Albert with a smile.

"I was just a little surprised. I thought they would tell me before leaving England." Albert didn't care about his wife's ridicule at all.

To be honest, the departure of Catherine and the other two made him feel relieved. Sometimes having too many lovers is a troublesome thing.

"They said that saying goodbye is a sad thing, so they didn't say goodbye to you."

During dinner in the evening, Katrina mentioned this casually, and Albert could see that the girl was in a good mood.

She finally didn't have to share her man with a group of women anymore.

As for her sister Isobel, Katrina didn't care at all. It shouldn't be said that it was more exciting.

"That's good, there won't be so much trouble in the future!"

Albert turned his head to look at Alice sitting in the baby chair, and then looked at the fat cat eating next to him, and murmured softly, "It's not a good idea to stay there all the time. Alice always needs someone to take care of her, and it's impossible to trouble Tom all the time."

Raising children is like raising pets, they need company.

Moreover, Catherine and the other two also have their own things to do, and it is incredible to be able to stay in the UK for such a long time.

"By the way, Louise may be pregnant!" Isobel suddenly reminded.

"Yeah." Albert seemed to have expected it.

"Your reaction is really cold. If Louise knew, she would definitely be very sad." Katrina's tone revealed a hint of envy. It was unclear whether she envied Louise for being pregnant or envied her for being so calm about it.

??????55.??????

"However, Louise didn't seem to plan to tell you about the baby from the beginning, not even the name." Isobel took out a handkerchief to wipe the corner of her mouth, looked up at Albert who was still calm, and asked, "Don't you want to do a divination?"

"Forget it!" Albert shook his head gently, looked at the McGregor sisters and said, "I respect Louise's decision, and we are still young."

"They will probably come back to see you next summer!" Isobel kissed Albert's cheek and comforted him, "You are a sweet cake for them, how can they give up easily after tasting it."

"Next year? We may travel around the world at this time next year." Albert reminded him. This was his original plan, and there will be fierce conflicts in the UK next year. Staying away from this place of right and wrong is also a good choice.

"Will the problems in the British magic world be solved next year?"

Isobel was surprised that Albert actually planned to travel around the world at that time. No matter how you look at it, it seems to be intentional.

"Who knows?"

Albert bent down and picked up his daughter, holding her high up and said, "After Voldemort's death, the British wizarding world no longer needs me. Moreover, I am not Dumbledore. Even if Dumbledore is so arrogant, he will not be so arrogant."

I don't know whether it was because he returned to his home or for other reasons, but Albert regained his spirits in just a few days.

Katrina, nourished by love, also had rosy cheeks and glowed, which made beauty potions more and more popular among the girls who came to Diagon Alley to shop.

The only weird thing was that senior students actually needed to pre-order their Defense Against the Dark Arts books at Flourish and Blotts because their textbooks were still being printed and they had to wait until they returned to school to get the books.

However, there were always a few exceptions.

"It feels quite difficult. I guess few people can successfully master all the knowledge in the book. This course will probably become the most valuable subject in Hogwarts in the future." Hermione gave such an exaggerated evaluation after reading the "Guide to Defense Against the Dark Arts" given by Albert.

"It's normal. After all, it's an advanced advanced class."

"It's not an exaggeration to say that it's an advanced advanced class." Hermione felt that Albert overestimated the level of other people's defense against the dark arts.

"Is there any problem with Kingsley?"

"No problem. This book was approved by Kingsley before it was published." Albert shrugged and said with a smile: "In fact, high standards can allow everyone to learn more useful knowledge. After raising the threshold of defense against the dark arts, the selection of Aurors will become much easier."

"As long as you are happy."

"By the way, this is for you."

Albert pushed the "Guide to Defense Against the Dark Arts" in front of Hermione again.

"Is it really okay?"

"I just came here to look at the samples today." Albert finished his ice cream, took out a handkerchief to wipe his mouth and said, "It looks good, but it looks a bit shabby, probably the sequelae of lowering the price."

"Aren't you going to keep it for collection?"

"There will be a hardcover edition in the future, and then I can get another set for collection."

After saying goodbye to Hermione, Albert bought two more ice creams from his old friend Florin, and prepared to visit Katrina who was working in the witch beauty shop.
