Study Days at Hogwarts

  Chapter 1188 Life Guidance

  This year, the winter in the UK seems to have come very early, with strong winds and heavy rain outside, with snowflakes in the rain, making people shiver with cold.

  Even the thick curtains could not completely block the cold outside, and a raging flame was burning in the fireplace. Isobel was sitting on the sofa, covered with a thin woolen blanket. Next to them was a radio, which was broadcasting exclusive news from the Ministry of Magic. In front of them was a half-played wizard chess game. The chess players didn't seem to care about winning or losing the game, and they were casually chatting about trivial matters in life to pass the boring time.

   "I really don't understand, that group of guys are still going out to cause trouble for the Ministry of Magic in this weather."

  Listening to the news on the radio, Isobel couldn't help yawning. From the news, it's not hard to hear the difficulties of the British magic world. The reinforcements from the International Federation of Wizards have been delayed, and the current situation in the magic world is getting worse.

   "It's hard for you to understand what's going on in the minds of those black wizards." Albert stopped his hands, looked up at Isobel who was covering his yawn, and asked, "Are you sleepy again?"

   "Yeah, a little sleepy."

   "Then take a nap first, and I'll wake you up later."

  Albert took the wand from the table next to him and waved it towards the chessboard. The wizard chess on the table was immediately put away automatically and flew back to the drawer where the materials were originally stored.

  Albert sat next to Isobel and pulled the thin blanket on her body for her.

   "Recently, did something happen?" Isobel listened to the sound of the rain outside, and leaned his head lightly on Albert's shoulder.

   "Why do you ask?"

   "You haven't gone out for several days recently."

  Isobel drank some hot milk just warmed by the house elf, and was going to lie down for a while. Recently, she was always sleepy, especially when it was raining, and she always liked to take a short nap with her lover.

   "Are you so sure?"

  Albert took the half-drinked milk from Isobel, "Do you want to add some honey?"

   "I don't drink anymore."

  Isobel shook his head, "Well, based on what I know about you, something must have happened, otherwise you wouldn't have stayed at home so peacefully in the past few days."

   "The mysterious person probably wants to lock my location, and it's not safe to be outside at the moment."

  Looking at Isobel's expression, Albert reluctantly admitted that he didn't intend to hide Isobel, at least not when the other party asked about it.

"So, I should thank the mysterious man for keeping you by my side." Isobel yawned again, and slowly closed his eyes: "Do you think I will get fat in the future? I heard that many people lose weight after giving birth. Weight gain."

   "Mrs. McDougal is not fat. As long as there is no problem with diet and regular exercise, the problems you are worried about will not appear under normal circumstances." Albert comforted softly.

  As long as she is a girl, she seems to care about this kind of thing.

   "I really hope that this kind of life will end soon. Although the life in the castle is very comfortable, it is actually very boring." Isobel murmured softly: "I really don't understand why the princess in the fairy tale world likes such a life."

   "Probably because of their era, life was already very difficult. It's not surprising that they would like such a life." Albert said without thinking.

   "Is that so?" Isobel felt that in the current magic world, there are probably many people who are envious of their current life!

   "Have you thought about what to do?"

   "I haven't figured it out yet." Isobel asked softly, "What do you want me to do?"

"Do what you like."

   "I feel like I'm almost spoiled by you, like your sister."

   "She has gotten better recently, and people will grow up after all." Albert reached out to turn off the radio, listened to the sound of rain outside, and slowly flipped through the note in his hand.

   "Are you actually asleep? My sister seems to be getting more and more lethargic recently."

   After Katrina walked into the hall, she looked at Albert who was reading a book, and then at Isobel who was already asleep on the sofa.

   "Today's weather is suitable for sleeping."

  Albert closed his notes, walked to the window, opened the curtains and watched the pouring rain outside, "If you want to sleep, you can take a nap."

"I talked to them about the current situation in Britain. In the eyes of other countries, the current situation in Britain is not very bad. They even think that our so-called war is a bit exaggerated." Katrina hesitated for a moment, and said her purpose, " I want to go to America."

   "They invited you to America?" Albert lowered the curtains and asked back.

   "Yes, after all, if you want to open a beauty shop, you need to accumulate some experience." Katrina said seriously: "It just happens to go to learn some experience, and didn't you say that the current chaos will end soon?"

   "You really believe my words."

   Albert motioned for Katrina to sit down and talk about it.

   "After all, you are the most powerful prophecy master ever."

   "I won't admit such a thing." Albert smiled and shook his head and said, "Actually, you are free to go wherever you want. As long as Mrs. McDougal agrees, I have no reason to object."

   "Mom didn't agree!" Katrina said suddenly.

   "So, you want to convince me to help you convince Mrs. McDougal?" Albert had a weird expression.

  Katrina didn't say anything, but that's clearly what she thought.

"I'm afraid I have to say sorry about this, haven't you noticed that I haven't dared to run around recently?" Albert reminded kindly: "The mysterious man let the Death Eaters capture Cassandra Watts. Braski, you want to find out my specific location through divination, if I were you, I wouldn't run around."

  He raised his hand, motioning for Katrina to listen to him.

   "The situation in the United States is actually not much better than that in the United Kingdom. It is more depressing than you think."

   “Honestly, I hate that country.”

"The situation of Catherine and Valeria is also different from what you think. The reason why they can live so chicly and freely is because they are rich. At least Catherine must be richer than me. of."

  Ebert pointed this out unceremoniously: "And if you have no money, even after the publication of the "Family Therapy Manual", it will be difficult for you to obtain an objective amount of galleons in a short period of time."

"So, I suggest that you can discuss with Isobel and publish a book like "Beauty Guide". At that time, if you want to open a beauty shop, you can save the trouble of advertising, and the business will be much better." Ai Burt didn't mind giving Katrina some advice: "Besides, you can also accumulate some wealth by the way. I think the girls will definitely like your book. Well, you can consider putting your photo on the cover and let them see it." Only when you see your pretty face will you believe in the content of your book."

   "It seems that I have to continue to stay in this cage." Katrina sighed, got up and prepared to leave.

   "This is not necessarily a prison, many people outside are envious of such a comfortable life!" Albert added some firewood to the fireplace, "Think carefully about my suggestion!"

"I will."

   Not long after Katrina left, Mrs. McDougall appeared in the hall.

   "Thank you for helping me convince her."

  Mrs. McDougall knows how dangerous it is outside. She will never allow Katrina to run around outside at this time. Even if she goes to the United States, she may not be safe.

"It's because of me that I caused trouble for Katrina. I will take care of her personal safety." Albert waved his wand, conjured two cups of black tea out of thin air, and made a please gesture to Mrs. McDougal .

"Of course, it may not be pleasant, but life is short now, and the war will end sooner or later, at the latest within the last three years." Albert took a sip of black tea and said, "In this kind of war Surviving is more important than anything else, and only surviving will have a future."

   "I have been very worried." Mrs. McDougall looked at her sleeping daughter and said softly, "It seems that my worries have always been unnecessary."

"I suggest you find something for her to do. Isn't Katrina interested in opening a beauty shop? Maybe you can start from this aspect and help her lay a good foundation for treatment." Albert suggested, "Wait for the war After the end, after another two months of training, I can almost open my own store."

"If you want to do things well, you have to be prepared in advance. Opportunities are always reserved for those who are prepared." Albert gave an example casually, "Fred and George's shop is actually the same, their shop It’s more about them getting ready during school, so they take their chances, and not about my limited help to them.”

   "Are you saying I'm right? Katrina." After speaking, Albert looked towards the hall door.

   "Come in and sit down, and listen to Albert's advice." Isobel slowly sat up from the sofa, and patted the seat next to him.

   "Sorry for waking you up." Katrina walked in from the outside.

   "It's okay." Isobel said.

"I know that life arranged by others is not a comfortable thing." Albert said to Katrina, "but your life belongs to you after all. If you want to succeed, you have to give. You also need There are a lot of things to learn, and now is the best time for you, if you really want to open a store, you have just graduated and still have a strong learning ability."

   "Well, I can't say no to the three of you anyway." Katrina reluctantly compromised, knowing that Albert's words might be right.

"You can analyze it for Katrina. I remember you analyzed it with me before." Isobel also had a similar idea, and Albert must understand and be optimistic about the prospects of the beauty shop, otherwise he would not support it She opened a beauty shop.

   "Listen carefully, I also made the store plan for Fred and George for them." Albert did not refuse, anyway, he would definitely make money, it was nothing more than spending a little more time talking.
