Study Days at Hogwarts

Although he received the mission reward and upgraded his wizard dueling and Flitwick dueling skills to level three, Albert still felt unreliable. At least, he never thought that he could definitely defeat Professor Flitwick when he had the advantage. Even if he had two more dueling-related skills, which greatly improved his strength, Albert still felt that his actual combat ability Lack of experience.

As for the win last time, it was all about bringing down Professor Flitwick. If the opponent was a dark wizard, the winner would definitely have to be decided in a short time. Unless one was chasing and the other was escaping, a battle would probably be difficult. For more than five minutes, the strength gap between the two sides was too large, and they even lost immediately after the encounter.

Professor Dumbledore can always defeat his enemies easily. Almost all Death Eaters are like defenseless babies in front of the principal.

Albert was actually very curious about the actual level between himself and the principal.

Well, he admitted that he was swollen and wanted to fight Dumbledore to see how Dumbledore fought with others.

After all, this is the ceiling of combat power in this world. It would be better if he could acquire Dumbledore's dueling skills.

People!

Sure enough, they are all greedy. They have obviously got a lot of things, but they still want more.

There's nothing we can do about it. Who makes Voldemort hiccup?

Albert made an excuse for himself.

The threat is still there, and Albert still feels that he needs to strengthen his strength to ensure his own safety. It is better to rely on others than to rely on yourself.

In his impression, Voldemort's strength was almost the same as that of Dumbledore. As for why that guy always lost to Dumbledore, in fact, it was more because he lost to the Elder Wand.

In terms of magical power, Albert should be stronger than Voldemort, but he probably has no advantage or even a disadvantage against the Elder Wand.

Without Dumbledore's strength, he must not face Voldemort. His plan was to use Voldemort's minions to gain some combat experience and make some contribution to society.

Anyway, in the later period, there were a lot of teams searching for Muggle wizards, and even more radically, there was the "Voldemort" method of seeking death.

As long as you don't say it yourself, the threat level can be greatly reduced.

When the time comes, we can always find the right person to take on this important task.

In fact, Albert didn't want to take risks, but he really lacked combat experience and could easily become a weakness. Fighting Professor Flitwick seemed dangerous, but in fact Albert knew that he was not in danger at all, let alone the sudden Avatar Kedavra.

Moody is a very good candidate, but it's a pity that he is now a fake.

When the time comes, after I expose the fake Moody, I wonder if I can use some sympathy to talk to the other party and see if the other party can take some time to teach me.

Albert discovered that he really likes to absorb experience from everywhere. It is right to think about it. Now is the golden period for him to accumulate experience and grow rapidly, and there is also pressure to urge him to move forward desperately.

This is undoubtedly the fastest and easiest way to become stronger.

Otherwise, when the magic world stabilizes, people will become lazy and won't think about learning these things.

"What are you thinking about?"

A familiar fragrance blew from behind. Isobel, who was wearing a nightgown, put her arms around Albert's neck from behind and rested her chin on his shoulder with a happy smile on her face.

"You like that house?"

Albert tilted his head and looked at his girlfriend's side face, pointing at the photos spread out on the table and asked.

The photos above are all photos of rural houses of some age. They are houses in very remote places, but overall they look pretty good.

“Are you going to just buy a house?”

Isobel let go of her hand, walked around the sofa and sat next to Albert, and picked up the photos on the table, which were obviously all Muggle houses.

"Will it be expensive?"

"No, I have people specifically screened the houses. The owners are interested in selling them. Most of them are in remote locations with inconvenient transportation. Some of them don't even have water and electricity, or are simply abandoned, so the price is quite cheap." Albert explained.

"What about you, do you think that's appropriate?"

Isobel believed that Albert must have something in his heart. She turned over the photo and saw the address, contact number and approximate cost posted behind the photo.

Luke had people help him get these photos.

The cheapest houses cost just tens of thousands of pounds.

That's right, 50,000, the kind where the entire village is empty, has no water or electricity, and has been uninhabited for a long time.

The more expensive ones cost two to three hundred thousand pounds.

Of course, such low prices may also be related to the economic downturn this year.

Isobel didn't know that Albert had already planned to take away most of the houses in the photo.

As for the pound issue, just win again when the time comes.

Anyway, no one can care about the chaos.

As for who wins the lottery, it actually doesn't matter, as long as he can win the lottery, these houses will definitely use spells to hide them in the end.

"You pick a few houses first, and then we will go over and look at the houses together. After all, you have to live comfortably." Albert put his arms around Isobel, let her sit on his knees, sucked in the fragrance of her body, and enjoyed the beauty. In my arms, I feel warm and fragrant, and my life is so colorful.

"Just these three." Isobel picked three photos that looked good.

"Then let's make time to go there tomorrow." Albert waved lightly, and the remaining photos automatically flew back into the envelope. The three photos selected by Isobel were taken away by the house elf later.

"So urgent?" Isobel raised her eyebrows slightly, a little surprised at the speed of doing things.

"We are just going to see the specific situation. When the time comes, I will ask Bit to explore the way for us first." Albert began to become more honest while holding Isobel's hand.

"You always like to be lazy." Isobel's cheeks were slightly red and she snuggled into Albert's arms. Both of them could feel each other's heartbeat.

There's nothing you can do about it. If you don't know the specific location, you can't apparate.

It is the best choice to let the house elf explore the path first. When the time comes, let the house elf directly take the Apparition there, which can save a lot of time and energy.

"Actually, I would rather build a house on the beach we visited before." Isobel whispered.

"It seems that you really like that place." Albert actually liked it there too.

“It was a beach full of memories,” Isobel recalled.

"It's really nice there, but it's a bit troublesome. I'm not good at building houses. It would definitely be uncomfortable to live in just a house. We will have to live there for two or three years." Albert also thought about building a house there. He finally gave up on the house because he didn’t have the technology and going there now would only destroy the environment there.

"Yes, live there for two or three years." Isobel murmured.

"When we settle down later, we will occupy that place and build a beautiful mobile villa there. By then, as long as we use the Red Heart Loyalty Charm, not even the Ministry of Magic can do anything about it." Albert kissed the girl's cheek, as if coaxing her. Said like a child.

"Sounds like a bandit," Isobel said with a smile.

"It's not a robber, it's a pirate." Albert corrected.

"pirate?"

"Yes, this country used to be rich in pirates." Albert said seriously.

Staying in the area of ​​​​the Red Dan Loyalty Curse is also a helpless move. There is no reason for anyone to live a life similar to being in jail. It will definitely be uncomfortable, but for the sake of safety, you must not leave easily, or even reveal the specific location.

Albert would like to find someone for Isobel who can chat with her often. Her family is actually a good choice, but some things are not that simple.

Not to mention whether her family is willing or not, even if they are willing, it is actually not convenient to live with them.

"Don't worry, we who are prepared are at least lucky and don't need to worry like others." Isobel reached out and gently touched Albert's cheek. She actually knew that Albert was thinking about her own problems, and she was very relieved and helpless.

Do you really need others to worry about you?

Isobel is also a very independent person.

"It's late at night, let's go rest."

"Late at night? Do your admirers know that you are lustful?" Isobel turned her head and looked out the window. The sky outside had not yet completely darkened.

"I definitely don't know." Albert said proudly, "My image outside has always been very good."

"Big liar." Isobel said with a smile.

"Besides, I rarely lie to people." Albert said seriously.

"You like to mislead people through gaps in truthful information."

"Actually, I think the girls probably don't care. You know, most girls are more open-minded than me." Albert didn't think there was anything wrong with him.

After all, food and sex are also important!

"Moreover, we are purely communicating feelings, and love also requires careful care." Albert continued, "I suspect that most girls prefer bad men, because honest people actually have no sentiment, and they are easily fooled if they don't have sentiment. Some girls hate it.”

Albert was an honest man without emotion in his previous life. He doesn't know why he is like this, maybe it's because the environment can easily change a person!

"You can always make a bunch of excuses for yourself." Isobel didn't hate it. If she really had no feelings, how could she let people she didn't like hug her and make fun of her.

Do you really think British gentlemen are gentlemen?

Just like the civilized stick is not civilized at all, are there still few cases of using it to smash other people's heads?

Only uncivilized people need this thing to let people know that they are civilized.

"Would you like me to carry you back to your room?" Albert asked with a smile.

"Um."

Isobel smiled and stretched out her arms to hug Albert's neck, and was picked up like a princess.

"Getting heavier."

"Maybe I haven't exercised much recently while staying here."

"This is not a good habit." Albert felt that he was not qualified to say that, "After the summer vacation, I will play sports with you."

"As expected, men always like beautiful women." Isobel glanced at her lips, "When I get old, will you dislike me?"

"Haven't you been studying how to make yourself younger, and you have already achieved initial results!" Albert kissed Isobel's cheek and said, "There is always a way, not to mention you are still very young now, no need to Worry about this."

The two tossed around all night. When Albert got up, the house elf Bit had returned, humming an unknown tune softly and preparing a rich and nutritious breakfast for them.

"Go and rest first. It's not too late to go after you wake up." Albert was not in a hurry and asked the house elves who had been busy all night to rest first. It wouldn't take much time to look at the house anyway, not to mention that they only planned to go there quietly. Take a look at the specifics.

After quickly eating a healthy breakfast, Albert flipped through the Daily Prophet. Except for a few idle articles, there wasn't much of value.

"What are you going to do later?" Isobel lazily ate the tender egg custard. Since she lived here, she has tasted many delicacies from various countries.

"Take care of that sailboat." Albert said without hesitation, "I plan to take time to go out for a trial voyage another day to see if there is any problem with the ship, so as not to capsize in time."

The originally small space inside the sailboat has been greatly expanded, and it can even accommodate the village of Hogsmeade. This is really thanks to the fifth-level traceless expansion spell, which completely stabilizes the space and prevents it from being expanded due to the large expansion. question.

There is a large farmland with a large number of vegetables and fruits grown on it, and the tomatoes for breakfast were picked there. In addition, there are plenty of hens, which is how the fried eggs on the dinner plate come about.

As long as it is completely completed and a large amount of food is stored, it will be a mobile but secret mobile fortress where you can stay for a long, long time.

It was Albert's fallback route.

Although I feel it is not needed, I must leave a way out.

In the afternoon, the two went to see the house together.

The village was already empty, so the two quietly went to browse all the houses, and finally selected a villa with a sunroom.

The house is large, the location is remote, and there are no residents around. It can save a lot of cleaning work. Otherwise, if a house suddenly disappears, the memory of the entire village will need to be tampered with. Then just give the guy the pound. , and then use a spell to tamper with the other party's memory. Anyway, after the Loyalty Curse, no one can see that house anymore, even the Ministry of Magic can only stare.

That night, Albert wrote to Grandpa Luke and asked him to help him solve the problem of the house.

On the morning of the third day, Albert received a letter stating that the transaction had been completed and the other party was happy to sell the house that no one wanted.

On the same day, Isobel came to visit, blurring the memory in the other person's head so that he only remembered that he had sold a house.

"Things are simpler than I expected." Isobel murmured as he looked at the old villa in front of him.

"It's normal."

Albert re-examined the surrounding environment. It is a good place with beautiful environment. There is a lake nearby, but the location is a bit remote. He plans to let the house elf Bit slowly deal with the problems here. Anyway, it will definitely need to be renovated before people can live in it, but Albert has experience in this area.

"I just kind of don't understand why they would abandon this place."

"This place is too remote, and there is no running water or electricity. It is not comfortable for ordinary people. They are not like wizards. Life without water and electricity is not easy." Albert can understand why the other party wants to sell. This villa.

In fact, water and electricity were once provided here, but something happened later, which caused the population of the entire village to drop sharply. The cost of maintaining electricity and running water was too high, so it was abandoned, which directly caused the remaining villagers to move away. , the whole village became like this.

However, this environment is very suitable for them to settle down.

If possible, Albert would like to buy the entire village.
