Study Days at Hogwarts

"Tom, don't run around." A girl's cry came from the courtyard.

Albert blinked, reached out and pulled away the white sheets covering his body, and got up from the bed.

"Haha~"

After suppressing a yawn and stretching, Albert opened the floor-to-ceiling curtains, looked at Tom who was running around excitedly in the courtyard, and shook his head helplessly.

"woke up."

On the terrace, Isobel, who was flipping through a book, greeted him without raising her head.

The book she was reading was a gift from Miss Louise before she left France.

Of course, it is not difficult for people who read the book to see the malicious intention of the person who sent the book from the book, which is all in French.

Isobel doesn’t know French, so naturally she can’t understand French.

However, Albert is cheating.

Albert, who can read French, helped her translate a small part yesterday. The two of them didn't go out at night, so they read together.

"I find you are getting more and more beautiful, my dear."

Albert kissed the girl's forehead, looked up at Tom who was wandering around in the courtyard, and then met his sister's disgusted gaze.

"I found that you are very poor at talking about love." Nia couldn't help complaining, "The guy who tried to chase me is much better than you at this aspect."

"Your boyfriend?" Albert narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Oh, you refused!"

"You guy."

Nia's face didn't look good, and Albert actually used that weird ability to peek into her inner thoughts, which made her a little annoyed.

Albert seemed to feel the girl's anger, and he quickly said perfunctorily, "Sorry, there won't be a next time."

Isobel also showed a faint smile.

Albert glanced at the snickering Isobel with his eyes, pulled out a chair and sat next to him, and Nia came up angrily holding Tom in her arms.

"By the way, where are the others?"

"They found an international student translator and went shopping." Nia answered the question for Isobel.

In fact, Albert can also speak Italian, but it is obviously inappropriate for him to always act as a translator.

"Why didn't you come along?"

"I'll go again next time. I have to stay here for a while anyway." Nia put the restless Tom on the table and took out a comb to comb it, trying to calm it down.

Unfortunately, Tom has been sitting in the cat's nest recently. He obviously wanted to move his body and slipped away after a while.

Tom has been moving within everyone's sight and does not dare to run around at all. Because Albert said that if he gets lost abroad, he will really become a stray cat, and he will no longer be able to eat canned cats and dried fish.

"Not suitable?"

"Inappropriate," Nia suddenly sneered, "They just want to play love games, which makes people hate them."

"Well, that's good." Albert nodded, "If it's not suitable, dump him. If you want to find a boyfriend someday, I can try to help you with divination."

"Thank you for coming up with such a method." Isobel looked at Albert speechlessly.

If you can do divination, you can really do whatever you want.

"Muggles like to use divination to peek into their love fortune." Albert said disapprovingly, "Although they all know that these divination are fake, they still enjoy it."

Nia obviously didn't want the topic to always revolve around her love, so she changed the subject and asked Isobel, "How are you doing with your French studies?"

"I can barely understand some words." Isobel closed the book. She tried to learn French by herself, but the progress was very slow. "I really don't know how you learned so many languages ​​in a short period of time."

"It's nothing. It is said that Dumbledore can speak many languages." Albert took the hot drink from Nia, took a sip and said thank you.

"He lived for a century."

"Let's go here another day!" Nia suggested, flipping through a Muggle magazine that they bought when they arrived at the airport on Sicily Island. The magazine contained a vacation guide to Sicily.

"Okay, let's go together then." Albert leaned his head over, looked at the travel route above, and agreed without paying much attention.

He knew that although that tourist route would not be the best or most cost-effective, it would definitely be the most expensive. Generally speaking, the quality of expensive things should not be too bad, otherwise the reputation would be ruined.

Albert's budget was generous.

Even in winter, the temperature in Sicily is very comfortable, making it perfect for spending the winter. A few people were sitting on the terrace basking in the sun and chatting casually. All of this was quite novel to Isobel.

The girl never left the UK and lived in those places most of the time.

"I suddenly understand why many wizards like to travel around after graduation." Isobel suddenly said to Albert.

If they didn't work for the Ministry of Magic right after graduation, most wizards would travel around and gain experience.

Well, it’s worth mentioning that the travels of Albert’s two Defense Against the Dark Arts professors are somewhat special.

Quirrell ran to find Voldemort on his own and eventually killed himself.

Lockhart visited famous wizards and secretly stole their achievements while traveling.

Neither of them ended well.

"If you want to travel after graduation, I support it." Albert thought for a moment and said, "However, you can postpone it for a while, and then we can go together."

Nia couldn't help but pout, regretting why she didn't go out with her parents.

However, Nia didn't get much challenge, and Albert and Isobel actually started doing homework.

To be honest, it is undoubtedly an uncomfortable thing to go out for fun and take home homework with you.

But they can't spend all their time playing.

If the homework is squeezed together, it will only be more uncomfortable to catch up on the homework after the Christmas holiday.

Towards evening, Herb and Daisy came back from shopping, and they had a great time.

Daisy even gave Isobel an expensive bottle of Italian eau de toilette as a Christmas gift, which made Nia very depressed because she had nothing. The girl now regrets that she didn't object to having Isobel come to their vacation.

In the evening, the Andersons dined at a famous nearby Italian restaurant.

Isobel liked the Italian food here very much and ordered an Italian lobster spaghetti like Albert.

"Maybe we should buy a few cookbooks and go back." Isobel whispered, "In the future, we can let the house elves cook for us."

"This is a good idea." Albert agreed. House elves have very good learning abilities, and it would be even better if they could cook delicacies from various countries.

Well, it's definitely not because he likes food.

This helps elevate the status of house elves.

"What is a house elf?" Nia asked quietly.

"nothing."

Albert made a silent gesture and continued to eat.

Herb and Daisy looked at each other and realized that their son had hidden many things from them!

The two of them knew what a house elf was.

Because of their precious son, Albert, Herb and Daisy did a lot of research on the magical world.

Most of the books Albert bought back then were still at home, and they also subscribed to the Magical Daily Prophet.
