Study Days at Hogwarts

  Chapter 1115 The real me

   After eating iced watermelon to cool off the heat, and after everyone sat down to chat for a while, Katrina and Mrs. McDougall got up to do their own things.

Recently, at the suggestion of Albert and Isobel, Mrs. McDougall began to compile her "Family Therapy Handbook" to pass the time in the safe house. Katrina was called to help organize the materials, by the way Learn something to prepare for opening a beauty shop in the future.

   It's always right to find something to do for yourself.

   "Is this...really good?"

   After the two left, Isobel turned to look at Albert.

   "What?" Albert asked puzzled, obviously not responding.

   "Is it really okay for you to tell all those things?" Isobel knew that Albert had hidden a lot of secrets in his heart, and it was rare for him to tell others. Even she only knew a small part.

"Didn't you say that too, just let them feel at ease, let them stay in the safe house and don't run around." Albert's Legilimency level is not low, and he can probably guess Katrina and Mrs. McDougal's heart Thinking about it, he couldn't help but sighed lightly, feeling that things had become a little complicated.

   "It's not like what you would do, and it will easily affect your image in their hearts." Isobel looked up and down Albert's face, and said softly, "Maybe, they thought you had finally revealed your true colors."

   "It's revealed?" Albert looked stunned.

   "Yes, the truth is revealed." Isobel nodded and said.

   "But... haven't I always been like this?" Albert muttered, "I never deliberately pretend to be myself."

   "I actually feel that you are not lying."

  Isobel was a little surprised. She is a natural mind-setter. Even if someone closes her brain, she can still intuitively judge whether the other party is lying.

   "Because I didn't lie at all, people are complex creatures." Albert patted his thigh and motioned for Isobel to sit over. He liked the feeling of holding Isobel very much.

   "Aren't you hot? And don't you want to go out later?"

  Isobel grabbed Albert's outstretched hand and adjusted his sitting posture slightly to make himself more comfortable.

   "No rush, it's not important anyway."

   Albert put his arms around Isobel and asked curiously, "What image do I have in your hearts?"

   "You don't know?" Isobel raised his eyebrows slightly.

"What image? Are you a nice man?" Albert asked with a smile. He actually didn't care much about his image in other people's hearts, but when Isobel mentioned this matter, he was inevitably a little curious in his heart. After all, he liked it. It is impossible for a girl to say that she is not curious.

   "Mindful, gentle and considerate, understanding, will love women, gentle personality..."

   "I'm almost blushing from what you said." Albert interrupted Isobel, reached out and touched his cheek, "I didn't even know I had so many advantages?"

   "You're not very happy yourself."

  Isobel could see through Albert's hypocritical face at a glance, even though he said that, he was actually very happy in his heart.

   "Yeah, I'm glad someone praised me like that, especially if that person is you." Albert didn't deny this, "Why don't you continue talking, I think I can still bear it."

   "Then what kind of person do you think you are?" Isobel asked with a smile.

   "Selfish, lazy, greedy, lustful, and afraid of death. Well, there are also insidious." Albert simply coefficiented his own personality traits.

  Isobel turned his head in surprise, and looked Albert up and down. He probably didn't expect Albert to use a bunch of negative words to evaluate himself.

   "I think your biggest shortcoming is hypocrisy."

  Isobel seemed to reaffirm his words, and nodded again.

"No, no, I'm not hypocritical at all, I just seldom exaggerate myself." Albert shook his head and said, "Europeans are somewhat overconfident or arrogant, so they think I'm hypocritical, I just recognize who I am and live my life more authentically than most people, that's all."

   "So, you think you are selfish, lazy, greedy, lustful, afraid of death, and sinister?" Isobel actually didn't feel too many shortcomings from Albert.

  “Everyone has a different view on people and things.”

"Let's take myself for example." Albert said with a smile, "If I'm not greedy, where do you think my large sum of Galleons came from? The 10,000 Galleons that Bard and the others gave me alone? "

   "You probably don't know how many Galleons we have, do you? It's much more than you expected. Even if we don't work all our lives, we probably won't be able to spend it all."

  Isobel knows that Albert is very rich. As for how much money he has, she really has no idea, anyway, just don't worry about spending.

   "You think I helped the Weasley brothers open the store because I helped them fulfill their wishes?"

  Isobel just listened quietly to Albert.

   "That's because I saw the prospect of earning a lot of Galleons lying down. Any capitalist is greedy." Albert laughed at himself, "Although I think I may not be worthy of the word capitalist."

   "So, you are willing to help pay for the opening of a beauty shop because you are optimistic about its prospects." Isobel has already guessed this point.

   "Well, I can make money, and you are also happy. Why not do a win-win business?"

   "Tell me how lecherous you are, I'm actually more interested in this." Isobel said softly, "Actually, I don't think you are lecherous."

   "That's because you are a great beauty yourself, the prettiest girl in the school." Albert put his head on Isobel and inhaled the fragrance of the girl.

   "Even if you praise me like this..." Isobel seemed in a good mood.

   "So, after you are in my hands, other girls naturally don't need to think about it. After all, a wife can only marry one, so naturally choose the best and most suitable one."

   "You want to marry more wives."

   "Every man wants to, as long as there are conditions, few people can refuse."

   "Unfortunately, I can only marry one." Isobel said softly.

"yes!"

   "Where are the other girls?" Isobel asked back, "I mean what about Catherine and Valeria?"

   "They are all beautiful, and they seem to be interesting." Albert said softly, "Katherine is a bit like you. She is also a genius, very beautiful, and a very attractive girl. Unfortunately..."

   "Catherine really likes you very much. If you settle in the United States, she might consider going after you." Isobel reminded.

"Unfortunately, she lives in the United States, and she is unlikely to leave the United States, and I hate the magical environment in the United States, so the two sides are destined not to have much intersection. At most, they will become lovers, not even lovers." .”

   "Where's Valeria?"

   "As for Valeria, that girl has a lot of thoughts. Of course, I'm not saying that's bad, but I think she is very suitable to be a lover."

   "Do you want to find a lover?" Isobel asked suddenly.

   "Many men's dream, jealous?"

   "That little girl with vampire blood is very suitable?" Isobel said again.

"You said Yanila, that girl is different. From the very beginning, she aimed to be someone else's lover." Albert secretly observed Isobel's face, and continued, "It's quite exciting. , but in fact, it’s just like that, I don’t think we can see it a few times a year.”

   "You are honest." Isobel was not angry, but sighed: "If they hear it, they will probably be very sad."

   "They all know it's impossible, but princesses always fantasize about having a Prince Charming to marry them." Albert asked curiously, "Haven't you ever fantasized about your own Prince Charming?"

   "No, I can read most people's minds." Isobel was silent for a moment, then continued to ask, "Where's Katrina?"

"She." Albert glanced at Isobel, sighed in his heart and said, "It's a bit like my sister, but I already have a sister, and Nia is also very beautiful, so I'm not interested in looking for it for now. sister."

   "Originally, I planned to spend two years slowly looking for it." Albert recalled, "When I first entered school, I needed to get familiar with the magic world as soon as possible, so naturally I had to postpone finding a girlfriend."

   "Twelve years old?" Isobel muttered.

   "Yeah, so I never deny that I am lustful." Albert said with a smile, "I met you later."

   "What is your first image of me?" Isobel asked.

   "A pretty girl, I always feel a little impressed."

   "Katrina?"

   "Yes, Katrina was in my consideration."

   "Consider the scope." Isobel said softly.

"In the same class, at the right age, in Ravenclaw, and very beautiful." Albert said generously, "As long as I am not in Slytherin, I will consider it, first establish a good relationship, and become a person who can talk My friend, I'm on good terms with most of the girls."

  Isobel thought about the initial relationship between the two, and it seemed to be the same, but because of her initiative, the temperature between the two parties was a little faster.

   "Who else? Autumn, or that Granger."

"You are more suitable for the wife in my heart, and you are also a smart and beautiful woman. I didn't bother to find a beautiful girl." Albert slightly raised the corners of his mouth and said, "Besides, you were also very beautiful at that time." If you take the initiative, you will also use Legilimency, if you lose it, it will be a loss, not to mention that you can only have one wife, how can you still expect to get someone else to be your lover?"

   "Can't you fall in love normally?" Isobel was a little speechless, and suddenly understood why Albert said he was lustful.

   "That's what I thought at first," Albert recalls.

   "Katrina's personality is much better." Isobel said suddenly.

"After all, I have graduated as an adult, and I have grown up, and I have become a beautiful girl like Nia." Albert said softly, "Don't look at me like that, I'm not an idiot, I know exactly what I want. "

"It seems that I should be proud of my charm." Isobel blocked Albert's mouth, still a little proud in her heart, they will get married soon, and she can feel that most of Albert's thoughts are on on her.

  Actually, the conversation just now was all nonsense.

  Isobel was never worried about other girls, she was just a little worried about her younger sister, and Albert obviously realized that it was inappropriate for Katrina to live with them, even Katrina herself realized it.

  They all know the reason, but there is actually no good choice at the moment.

   Let Katrina and Mrs. McDougal go to other safe houses, Isobel is obviously worried, this is undoubtedly the safest place, and there are family members.

  Isobel was very worried about their accident, just like they were afraid of Albert's accident.

The two finally ended the topic that was not conducive to family harmony, and the problem was temporarily resolved. As long as Albert didn't change his mind, there would naturally be no problem, but Isobel knew very well in his heart that after a long time, the complicated relationship It's still easy to go wrong, and even Mrs. McDougall realizes that it's not suitable for the four of them to live here, so she chooses to write books, and Katrina is included by the way.

   "I think Mrs. McDougal is very afraid that I will have an accident." Albert diverted that somewhat embarrassing topic.

"It's good that you know." Isobel looked at Albert bitterly, "After all, the enemy is the notorious Death Eater and the mysterious man, it's normal for my mother to be worried, she is very worried that I will become like her son."

   "So, she asked us to have a baby earlier?" It was not difficult for Albert to understand Mrs. McDougal's thoughts. Isobel and Katrina had always been the motivation for her to continue living.

   "What about you?" Albert asked, "What are your plans?"

"What?"

   "Do you want a child?" Albert asked directly, "You are still very young, if you want a child now..."

"I don't know." Isobel shook her head, just like what Albert said, she was too young, if not for the mature mentality of both of them, they would still be considered children, and Albert would even be a child. Nineteen years old, and Isobel just turned twenty.

   To make matters worse, wartime followed.

  Perhaps, Albert also considered this and brought her mother, not only to protect her, but also to prevent that if she really accidentally became pregnant, someone could accompany and take care of her.

   "Don't feel pressured, I support your choice." Albert kissed Isobel's cheek and said.

   "So, you told them that?" Isobel looked at Albert with a strange expression.

   "A sinister, cunning and smart person can always protect himself well." Albert said softly, "It can also make them feel at ease."

"Perhaps, it's time for us to have a baby." Isobel hesitated for a moment, and she actually felt that this decision was a bit absurd. According to Albert's prediction, this war would not last long, and she could definitely get pregnant again by then. Children, but people are not absolutely rational creatures after all.

"Why?"

  Albert put his head on Isobel's stomach, as if he wanted to hear if there was any movement in his stomach.

   "I thought you could guess."

   "Actually, you don't have to pay attention to what they say, according to your meaning." Albert said softly. They are very cautious in that regard, although Isobel probably wouldn't care too much about getting pregnant by accident, but it may not be a good thing for them to have a child too early.

   "I think they are right." Isobel was actually hesitating, but Mrs. McDougal's words made her make up her mind.

  In fact, not only her mother, but even Albert's parents think so. They feel that the child and wife should be the shackles of Albert, and let him think more about the consequences when he takes risks.

   There is no doubt that Albert has more family responsibilities than most people, and they can all feel this.

   "Then I'm afraid I need to work harder."

Albert was a little surprised by Isobel's decision, but he didn't object too much. Hiding in this safe house protected by the Fidelity Curse does not have to worry about safety issues at all. House elves are more reliable than wizards to a certain extent , and with a child, things might improve.

  Isobel looked down at the yawning cat, reached out and stroked its fur, pretending not to hear what Albert said just now.

   "When is the specific time?"

"The 13th of next month." Albert patted Isobel and signaled him to get up from his body. "It may be delayed for a day or two, and we will see the specific time. In short, before the 12th of next month, We will leave the UK first."

   "Going out?" Isobel helped Albert organize some messy clothes.

   "Well, I have to go and see how that store is doing." Albert said with a smile, "Besides, I got them a lot of business a while ago."

Today is the last day of the month. If the Ministry of Magic really intends to take action against the Death Eaters, it will definitely not give up ordering the Defense Against the Dark Arts items from Fred and George. Although it is not very effective, not all Death Eaters will take it with them. Flick black magic.

   "Be careful." Isobel said.

   "I will, I won't be back at noon, and I will have dinner at home."

  Albert put the wand back into the glove, and then began to wear the black magic defense props on himself, before disappearing at the door under Isobel's gaze.
