Study Days at Hogwarts

Chapter 1699 A war without a winner (one hundred and forty-nine)

"How's the training going over there?"

Seeing Angelina walking into the rest tent in a dusty state, Ginny, who was still pregnant, smiled and greeted her. She is actually quite envious of Angelina for being able to pursue her dreams and even join her favorite Holyhead Harpies team.

"It's okay, but a lot of things have happened recently."

Angelina sat down at the small round table where she was resting, picked up the teapot on the table and poured herself a cup of still warm milk tea.

"What's up?"

Ginny was a little curious.

To be honest, it's quite boring to sit here and read parenting books all the time. It's also good to listen to gossip news occasionally. She likes Albert's gossip news very much.

"Remember Wilda Grith?"

Angelina picked up a meat bun from the steaming steamer, took a big bite, and said inarticulately

"That Chaser from Holyhead Harpies who plans to retire and get married?"

Ginny had always been a loyal supporter of the Holyhead Harpies and knew all the Quidditch players.

"Yes, her story was completely exposed."

After Angelina swallowed the food in her mouth, she talked about the most exciting news in the Quidditch circle recently.

"The guy wasn't planning on getting married at all. He was planning on going to Puddlemere United."

Speaking of this matter, Angelina looked particularly complicated because she was the direct beneficiary of this matter.

"How could it be...they are not..."

Ginny was equally shocked when she learned the news.

"I'm not sure. Anyway, after learning the news, Gwenog Jones almost went crazy and ran to find Wilda Grith, but the two parties obviously had a very unpleasant conversation." Angelina said with a bitter smile, "In the end, Gwenog Jones even vowed to make Wilda Grith pay for this."

"What are you talking about?"

The curtain door of the tent was opened, and Fred walked in quickly from the outside, still wearing casual work clothes.

Since Angelina officially joined the Holyhead Harpies, Fred has spent more time every day building the village of Avalon, at least in his own villa and can only serve snacks by himself.

"Wilda Grith of Holyhead Harpies seems to be planning to transfer to Puddlemere United." Angelina told Fred about the big event that happened during today's training.

"Is he the one who retired and is getting married?"

Fred was a little surprised, but he quickly remembered the reason why he came to Angelina. After greeting Ginny, he invited Angelina to go to Cedric's new home with him, intending to take this opportunity to convince Angelina. Move in with yourself.

The warm and comfortable living room and the rough and crude room outside the door formed a strong visual impact. Even Angelina said sincerely: "It always feels like there are two different worlds on both sides of the door!"

"This is actually Albert's idea for everyone."

Qiu Zhang's face was filled with a smile called happiness, and he introduced the situation of settling here to the two of them.

Both Fred and Angelina listened carefully. No girl would not desire to have her own happiness.

Of course, Angelina was no exception. She pulled Qiu Zhang and asked a lot of questions.

Even though Avalon Village is still under construction, many villagers are still moving here to settle.

Many of them are in this situation. This is Albert's idea for people who plan to come to Avalon to settle in advance. I have to admit that this method is indeed much more comfortable than living in a tent.

Moreover, during the rainy season, you have to find something to do for yourself to avoid getting moldy too.

In fact, in the eyes of some wizards, today's rough villas can be officially lived in as long as the doors and windows are installed.

If the living facilities here hadn't been fully built yet, most of the residents would have already moved here, but that doesn't matter, they can slowly add more by themselves, just like now.

"I'll definitely be able to move here before Christmas." Fred almost assured him by patting his chest.

Angelina neither agreed nor refused, but turned her head and asked Qiu Zhang, "I heard from Ginny that everyone is planning to spend Christmas here this year."

"Yes, since Albert said last time that he would start traveling around the world next summer, everyone has decided to spend the Christmas party in Avalon this year." Qiu Zhang suddenly said, "I remember that Albert came today too Bar!"

"Well, he seems to be checking the insulation effect of the villa's insulation wall. Although the winter here is not as cold as Hogwarts, it still snows and requires good insulation work." Fred seemed to think of something and added, "I heard that he seems to be planning to invent something called a magic heater. He seems to say that it will be a hot seller in the future."

"Are you taking the time to...invent it?" Angelina sighed softly and quite speechlessly, "I can only say that he is truly worthy of being Albert!"

It's not too cold even if it snows here in winter, and with insulation walls and fireplaces as protection, you can live comfortably even in winter.

But Albert is still trying to create... no, it should be said that improved magic heating is more appropriate.

As long as the cost can be reduced and mass-produced, this will be a very hot-selling product.

To be honest, Albert has never quite understood that there are actually many advanced things in the British wizarding world, such as vacuum cleaners.

That's right, vacuum cleaners, although they won't be popular, they already exist.

But there are many things that are backward. He still doesn't understand why wizards still use kerosene lamps.

Many things are not lost just because no one studies them. There are big problems in knowledge inheritance.

After confirming that the villa's insulation wall is indeed effective, Albert and Sana strolled around Avalon and took a look at the latest changes in the village.

"When did you dig the well?"

Albert looked at the well in front of him, which was as wide as a person. What surprised him most was that a huge cement ring had been stacked on the edge of the well, which meant that the basic requirements of a well were complete. Now all that needs to be done is to drain the turbid well water inside and let it overflow with clear well water again, and then use reinforced concrete to make a big cover to seal the well mouth, leaving only one water intake.

When it rained a while ago, they had nothing to do, so they used canvas to set up a shed and dug a well underneath, saying that they would solve this problem first to avoid always having no water.

"Some things can't be rushed, just take your time!"

"Who do you think is responsible?" Sana looked at Albert with resentment on her face.

"I never rushed them."

"They knew you were going to travel around the world next summer, and they wanted to finish Avalon before then."

"Well, it's my fault."

Albert didn't expect this, but he really wanted to say that according to the current construction progress, Avalon must have been built long before he left England to travel around the world.
