Study Days at Hogwarts

Chapter 1711 A war without a winner (one hundred and sixty-one)

When Albert apparated back to the door of his house, the sky outside had completely darkened. Snowflakes as big as goose feathers were floating in the sky, and a row of clear footprints were trampled on the thick snow.

After passing through layers of protective magic, Albert finally pushed open his door and blocked the wind and snow from the house with his backhand. He took off his cloak and hung it on the clothes rack nearby, then walked through the corridor towards the living room.

The door on the left side of the corridor suddenly opened from the inside. Isobel, wearing a single ponytail and a slender white yoga suit, walked out of the exercise room and looked at Albert in surprise.

"I thought you were going to spend the night at Granger's tonight."

"You gave Hermione a hard time."

While Albert was talking, he had already opened the door to the living room and walked in. Old Tom was curled up in a ball comfortably, warming himself in the cat's nest by the fireplace.

"I didn't bother her. Granger also wanted to give you a big surprise, but we were too pressed for time." Isobel returned to the exercise room and took a coat to put on herself, and then followed Albert. Go into the living room at the back.

“How boring this world would be if everyone was cut out of the same mold!”

Albert didn’t know whether he was talking to Isobel or mumbling to himself.

"Granger loves you very much, but he is not mature enough yet. His way of thinking is still in the student days and he doesn't know how to love someone." Isobel stepped forward and kissed Albert's cheek and said, "You should Take the time to guide her and get Granger into the shape you like, or whether you prefer her wilder look."

Albert was speechless and didn't want to talk to Isobel about this matter, so he changed the subject and asked, "Where's Katrina?"

"It's in the pharmacy."

Isobel sat down on the right side of Albert, reached out and grabbed his slightly cold palm, and talked about what happened at noon.

"Catherine and Valeria sent Katrina a large number of samples of potion ingredients." Isobel raised her wand and waved lightly, and a note appeared out of thin air and was placed in Albert's hand.

"Oh, what did you mention to them?" Albert flipped through his notebook and asked with a slightly raised eyebrow.

"Yes, instead of letting you travel around the world and searching for potion ingredients inefficiently, it would be faster if you let a group of local snakes like Kathleen help collect them. At least when you travel around the world, you don't have to be distracted by other things. "Things." Isobel said about his views on this matter.

"I guess you must be back."

At this moment, the door to the living room was pushed open, and Katrina walked in from the outside. She glanced at the two people who were sitting on the sofa again, picked up the notebook that was thrown on the table next to her, and said, "I was just saying I was going to use it, but it suddenly disappeared.”

"Have you sorted it out?" Albert raised his head and asked.

"How is that possible?" Katrina couldn't help complaining, "If your wife hadn't been lazy, the arrangement would have been completed long ago."

"A lot?" Albert was surprised.

"There are many, and some of them are more enthusiastic than you." Katrina curled her lips and said, "There is no woman who is not interested in maintaining youth, let alone helping to collect some materials."

"Oh, did they say when they would come over?" Albert took out his notes from his pocket and looked through his recent arrangements.

"Tomorrow, they seem to have gone to Spain to find Yanila today."

When Isobel mentioned Yaniya's name, she deliberately raised her tone and winked at Albert mischievously.

"That's a little beauty too."

"There is no shortage of beauties in this world, and I am not a lion. I don't have such a broad love, nor do I have that kind of interest."

Albert is also very self-aware of himself.

Once the number of women around you reaches a certain level, it will become very troublesome, unless you turn into a scumbag and throw them aside. It is very difficult to take away your heart and kidneys.

"You are from Gryffindor House, and you are also a lion to a certain extent." Katrina reminded with a smile.

She actually didn't like those women disturbing their three-person world, but there were always many helpless things in this world.

"Well, I'm the Gryffindor Lion."

Albert didn't bother to deny this, and said to the sisters in front of him, "I plan to take a bath, do you two beauties want to come together?"

"You'd better save some energy to deal with your little lovers, otherwise they will complain that we have eaten you dry."

Although they said so, neither Isobel nor Katrina refused the invitation. Taking a bath together and rubbing their backs can also improve the relationship between the two parties, which is something that Albert's other lovers cannot enjoy. treatment.

…

It wasn't until the afternoon of the next day that Albert received the news of Kathleen's arrival in England from his communication bookmark.

When Albert, Isobel and Katrina went out to greet Kathleen and the others, they unexpectedly found that only two people came.

"Where are Louise and your little gift?" Katrina asked directly.

"Beautiful girls are too conspicuous together, and it is easy to attract everyone's attention, so after discussion, we decided to come to the UK in batches." Katherine looked at Albert, whose expression did not change much. He said disappointedly, "I always feel that you are about to lose your expression, or maybe you are not interested in our singer lady."

"It's not the first day you've met Albert. He probably isn't even interested in us."

Valeria said something to try to make Albert feel guilty, and took the initiative to present her gift.

"Yania and Louise should be here tonight."

Catherine also leaned her head to Albert's ear and whispered, "We have to prepare a small welcome ceremony for Yania."

"I have asked the house elves to start preparing for the banquet."

Albert pretended that he didn't understand.

Catherine glanced at Albert, then looked at the sisters on both sides of Albert who were smiling at her, and couldn't help muttering, "I hope Isobel and Katrina didn't eat you up and leave some leftovers for us."

"Of course not, we left some for your little gift." Katrina puffed up her chest and gave Kathryn a hug, "We have received the ingredients you sent."

"How is it, is there anything suitable?" Kathryn's eyes lit up and couldn't help asking.

"How should I know? This kind of thing can't be rushed."

"By the way, didn't Miss Granger come? Or will she not attend our Christmas party this time?" Valeria looked around and asked with a slightly raised eyebrow.

"Miss Granger has agreed to attend this party." Isobel said with a smile, "But she has something to do recently."

Catherine seemed to think of something and suddenly asked, "She doesn't live here?"

"Yes, Hermione prefers to live in her own home." Albert said gently.
