Study Days at Hogwarts

  Chapter 391 Are you dating?

  The rain gradually became heavier, and the scene in front of me became blurred in the rain.

   Albert pulled out his wand to create an umbrella, and silently raised it above Isobel's head. The red-haired girl turned her head sideways, and the two of them met each other's eyes and smiled.

   Albert secretly reached out to grab those warm and tender hands. At that moment, he could vaguely feel the owner of those hands trembling slightly, and slowly spread his hands to interlock his fingers.

   The two walked into the rain curtain hand in hand.

  Albert felt that he should say something. There was still a long journey from Hogwarts to Hogsmeade Village. It was not a good idea to keep silent along the way.

"Did you know? I just started learning summoning, in fact, in order to conjure an umbrella when it rains one day." Albert talked about his original purpose of learning summoning, and now I think about it carefully. It's funny, but it is undeniable that after learning it, it does save you the trouble of carrying an umbrella with you.

   "To save trouble?"

  Isobel covered her mouth and chuckled, but felt that what Albert said made sense. In fact, a large part of her own learning of spells was for this reason.

   At this time, some whispers overwhelmed the sound of the rain, distracting the two of them.

  Some students walked by the two of them, probably after noticing Albert and Isobel, they slowed down and whispered beside them.

   After all, two Hogwarts geniuses get together on a date, no matter what, it will be something that everyone can discuss for a long time.

More and more students passing by slowed down, trying to eavesdrop on what Albert and Isobel were talking about, but these people were destined to be depressed. The conversation between Albert and Isobel did not hide them at all, but also There's no need, because other people simply don't understand.

  Yes, the two were talking in ancient rune, listening to other people's ears, it's just... hell!

   "I like the astonished expressions on their faces." Isobel said with a smile, "Many people want to hear our gossip news. You know, most girls are long-tongued."

   "I think they'll know we're dating soon." Albert doesn't care much about this kind of thing. Of course, he also doesn't like to be the topic of everyone's small talk.

   "I will tell them that I am just looking for someone to practice ancient runes." Isobel did not lie in what he said, they were indeed using ancient runes to communicate.

   "I don't think everyone will believe such a lame excuse." Albert raised the hand holding Isobel, and said gently: "We are just unlucky, so we are not assigned to a grade."

  Honestly speaking, when a girl in the fifth grade finds a boy who is two years younger than herself as her boyfriend, sometimes it is easy to attract criticism from caring people.

   There are actually quite a few girls who are jealous of Isobel's talent, and Albert's own halo is too strong, so strong that a lot of girls are attracted to him.

  Excellent, rich, handsome and famous, and with a peaceful personality, no matter how you look at it, he is the best boyfriend choice.

   "Many girls are actually driven by vanity and curiosity." Albert said calmly. He didn't think he was a heartthrob.

   "If they knew about it, you would probably be very sad if you commented on them like this!" Isobel laughed, but he didn't deny this, because he was a born minder and understood these things better than Albert.

   This topic accompanied them all the way out of the school gate.

  Then, the topic of the two chatting turned to when they first met.

   "At that time, I was really surprised." Isobel said.

   "Did you mean age?"

  Isobel shook his head.

   "Because I found the location of the classroom?"

   It is said that students who are participating in the Transformation Club for the first time need someone to guide them to find the location of the classroom.

  Isobel shook his head.

   "I dare say you must have used Legilimency on me at that time?" Albert raised his eyebrows.

"It's just a little curiosity." Isobel didn't deny this, "Sometimes I can't help but do that, but reading other people's thoughts is not pleasant, most people are not what they appear on the surface, you will find the people around you People are lying. But I was having fun at the time."

   "What are you happy about?" Albert asked with a smile.

   "This is my personal little secret." Isobel stopped, turned around and put his index finger on his lips.

   "Little secret, well, everyone will have their own little secret." Albert handed the umbrella to Isobel, and took out the broomstick from the deformed lizard's leather bag.

   "Let's go around on a broom!" Albert suggested. Due to frequent rains in October, the road to Hogsmeade was muddy and difficult.

   "The Untraceable Stretching Curse?"

   "Well, before that, we need some camouflage." When Albert took the wand and put away the umbrella, Isobel had already used his wand to conjure another umbrella.

  Albert used the illusion spell on the two of them, and he didn't want to be surrounded by others.

   "This is the first time I've shared a broom with someone else!" Isobel smiled and sat on the broom, stretched out his arms to wrap around Albert's waist, and raised the umbrella over the heads of the two with the other hand.

"let's go."

   Sweeping Six Stars leisurely flew towards Hogsmeade.

   "Actually, I fly pretty well."

"Then you will drive me next time." Albert didn't ask why you didn't join the Quidditch team. Isobel's situation is probably similar to his. He likes to fly, but he doesn't want to train in Quidditch wasting time.

   "By the way, there is something..." Isobel leaned his head lightly on Albert's back, and said softly, "Katrina seems to like you a little bit?"

   "Why do you think so?" Albert asked calmly after a moment of silence.

   "Probably... intuition, she probably didn't realize it herself, just like most girls like to worship you." Isobel's tone was very light, and there was a trace of helplessness.

"It seems that we are really similar!" Albert said with a smile, "I also have a younger sister, and I love her very much, but she has also lived in my shadow from the beginning. Fortunately, she is a numb melon."

   "You don't want your sister to come to the wizarding world?"

   "I don't want her to be involved in wizard disputes. I just hope that she can marry someone she likes and live a happy life." Albert said gently. He felt that Isobel's thinking was probably similar to his own, and he hoped that his sister could find someone she liked and spend her life happily.

   "I heard that you want to have two or three girlfriends?" Isobel said suddenly.

   "That's a harsh reality."

"brutal reality?"

  “Many girls date boys just for the sake of novelty, and they will break up after a while.”

  Isobel did not refute, this phenomenon does exist, and it is also very common.

   "I'm rather greedy. I hope to find a girlfriend with a compatible personality and spend the rest of my life together." Albert said gently.

   "For the rest of your life, how dare you say that?" Isobel actually didn't dislike Albert's words. She closed her eyes and murmured, "It's just, who would know about this kind of thing?"

  Riding a broomstick is far more comfortable and convenient than walking to Hogsmeade village.

  Before reaching Hogsmeade, Albert stopped the broom.

  Isobel gracefully got off the broomstick, looked at Albert who had put away the sweeping six stars again, and asked, "Where do you want to go?"

  After lifting the illusion spell on the two of them, he smiled and said, "Madame Puddife's teahouse?"

   "You must have been to Hogsmeade."

"why would you say so?"

   "Most boys don't pay much attention to the teahouse on the side road, only couples who are looking for someone to date will consider it."

   "Why can't it be someone to inquire about the news?" Albert asked with interest.

   "You are very familiar with Hogsmeade, and you can't do this level just by dictation." Isobel put away his wand, and gave Albert the right to hold the umbrella for the lady again.

   "Indeed, I've been here a few times, with my friends. There are several secret passages from the school that can lead to the outside." Albert took Isobel back to the road, and they arrived at the entrance of the village in a short while.

  The streets of Hogsmeade were relatively deserted, no pedestrians stopped to chat, and everyone was hurrying, going straight to where they were going.

  The two walked along the street, and finally turned into the side road opposite the Pig's Head Bar, where there was a small pink teahouse.

   "Madame Puddiffe's Tea House." Albert softly read the name on the signboard.

  The owner here has undoubtedly passed the romantic period, even Albert, who thinks he is not very romantic, feels this way.

  However, Mrs. Puddiffe Teahouse is still one of the dating places for Hogwarts couples.

"Penello suggested that I bring you here." Isobel said softly, and Albert followed her gaze and saw the red-haired Percy Weasley, the Gryffindor The prefect was chatting with a girl with long curly hair.

   That girl is probably the Penello that Isobel said!

  However, the two people over there were very engaged in chatting, but they didn't notice their side.

   There were only a few customers in the room, and there were plenty of seats to choose from. The two sat next to the foggy window, keeping a distance from Percy's table.

   "What do you two want?" The obese Mrs. Puddiffe came over.

   "Two cups of milk tea, please." Isobel said.

   "If this place is redecorated, I think many couples will be willing to visit." Albert looked around and muttered softly. The shop was really small and not very well decorated, which made him wonder if that was the way most wizards tasted.

  He couldn't help suspecting that if there were no Hogwarts lovers to visit, the store would have closed down.

  Isobel didn't care about Albert's complaints, propped his chin with one hand, tilted his head and asked in ancient runes, "I'm curious, why did you refuse last time?"

  Albert sat next to Isobel, kissed her, thought for a while and said, "Last time, I thought it was a little too early."

  Although asking about Isobel's birthday at that time did have a different meaning, Albert felt it was too early at that time, but he didn't expect Isobel to guess it right away.

   "A lot of people are planning to match us up." He said helplessly: "At the beginning, I vaguely felt this way. In fact, I still hate others to arrange my life."

   "Well, you really found out too!" Isobel didn't care about Mrs. Puddiffe's astonished gaze, and continued, "Actually, I'm pretty annoying, too."

  “Genius always has his own pride.”

  The two looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.

   Yes, geniuses have their own pride. They will only accept what they think and choose, and what others impose will make them disgusted.

"After all, they are also smart people, and their experience is far richer and more sophisticated than ours. I admit that they may really follow their wishes, but it doesn't matter." Albert looked into Isobel's eyes and asked with a smile: "What about you? To be honest, last year, it was really strange that you would have thought like that."

   "Why do you think that?"

  "In my impression, most girls are more reserved, and some even like to test others with a bunch of shit."

"Reserved?" Isobel gently stirred the milk tea with a spoon, and said with a smile, "Reserved will only let the love that may be obtained slip away, and the human heart cannot stand the test, and those who think like that are self-righteous fools, What you want should be in your hands quickly, so as not to be snatched away or slip away by yourself."

   "It makes sense." Albert nodded and said with a smile, "It seems that I am also a hot commodity."

"Of course, you probably don't know that you are already the dream lover of most of the girls in Hogwarts." Isobel squinted his eyes and chuckled, "There is a good example in front of you. "

   "Dumbledore?" Albert felt he had guessed right.

   "So I made the first move." Isobel deliberately expressed complacency.

  Isobel has a maturity far beyond his age, and getting along with her makes Albert very comfortable. After all, he has indeed been looking for a girlfriend all his life.

   "I don't think you're telling the truth." Albert said, this intuition comes from Legilimency, and since he has this ability, he can faintly feel whether the other party is lying.

   "Your Legilimency is stronger than I imagined." Isobel raised a finger and whispered, "This is my secret!"

   "Okay! Women are beautiful because of mystery, and secrets make women more feminine." Albert reached out and grabbed Isobel's hand, switched back to English and said it again, because Isobel didn't seem to understand.

   "Women are beautiful because of mystery, and secrets make women more feminine." Isobel repeated this sentence softly, seeming to like it.

   "You don't mind letting me taste the secret!" Albert moved his face closer.

  …

Fred, George and Lee Jordan arrived late. When they searched all over Hogsmeade and finally found Albert, they found that he was having a weird **** with a girl who looked like Katrina. Chatting in the language, looking very happy.

   As for the picture of the two kissing, they didn't see it.

  How should I say it?

  After the two chatted for a long time, the topic gradually turned to the exchange of ancient runes.

  Percy left with his girlfriend after the rain gradually subsided, otherwise he would have been the target of teasing after the twins appeared.

   There are still a few couples in the teahouse, but the two of them are talking in a babbling language, which looks weird no matter how you look at it.

   "Aren't they dating?"

   "How would I know."

   "Wait for me outside."

   After paying, Albert looked at the three people who were pretending to be drinking tea, and asked with a smile, "You don't want to disturb us, do you?"

  The three of them shook their heads in unison, expressing that they would not do that.

   After warning his roommates, Albert took Isobel and left together.

  They went to the Wenrenju quill shop together to buy quills and parchment. Albert bought two thick notebooks. He kept writing and there were never enough notes.

   Before leaving, Albert also bought a shorthand quill.

   "This thing is not as useful as you think." When leaving Wenrenju quill shop, Isobel did not forget to remind. "It will always use unrealistic sentences to automatically record your words."

   "I know, I hope to decipher its principle and recreate a shorthand quill." Albert made no secret of his purpose.

  One day I cracked the shorthand quill pen, and then upgraded and improved it, it would become my own thing.

   "If you get it out, remember to give me one." Isobel said casually.

  Next, they went to the Fengya wizard clothing store together, and picked out a fine bronze check scarf together. The feeling of gradually fading from bronze looks really good.

  When they walked out of the Fengya wizard clothing store with the wrapped scarves, they happened to meet Katrina and her female companion who were walking this way.

   "You..." Katrina looked at the two in front of her in surprise, and asked stupidly, "Are you dating?"
