Study Days at Hogwarts

  Chapter 512 Wand License

Excellent girls can always attract the attention of men. At school, Catherine never lacked suitors and was the envy of countless girls, but she knew that most boys pursued themselves more for showing off and vanity The heart is at work.

Finally getting rid of the fly-like suitors, Catherine and Nicholas came to the waiting room of the International Floo Network, because someone always greeted her on the way, so they were a few minutes late, but the other party seemed to have not passed the International Floo Network Arrived in the United States.

  Nicholas is inquiring about news with his old acquaintance, Mr. Nathan.

"It's normal to be delayed for a few minutes. I've never seen anyone be on time." Employee Nathan was not surprised by the delay in France. He has been working here for several years, and this kind of thing is common. "You can't expect staff from other countries to observe the time, and there is a small error in the timetables of both parties."

  Small error?

   After waiting for half an hour, Catherine felt that her patience was being consumed quickly, especially when there was an annoying guy named Carter next to her, who always found topics to strike up a conversation with her.

  I clearly rejected the other party when I was in school.

   At this time, there was movement in the fireplace leading to Europe. A young boy who looked very young almost fell into the fireplace. He seemed very unaccustomed to using the International Floo Network.

   "Mr. Anderson?" Nicholas reached out to help the boy out of the fireplace, and asked tentatively, "You are younger than I thought."

   "Sorry, there was an accident on the French side, and the time was delayed by half an hour."

Albert heard someone calling himself, looked sideways at the old man in front of him, compared it with the person in the photo in his memory, then reached out to shake hands with Nicholas and said, "Hello, Mr. Nicholas. This must be Miss Catherine It's even prettier than it looks in the photos."

   "You know me?" Catherine frowned slightly.

   To be honest, she was very surprised. The young man in front of him, who was called Mr. Anderson, was at most fourteen or five years old. Is he really the heir of the legendary Wild Smith?

   Didn't it mean that the heirs are all adults?

   "Mr. Serra showed me your photo, and he said you are a genius. Of course, I think your beauty is not inferior to your talent."

  Albert was indeed a little surprised. This Miss Catherine is very beautiful, not inferior to the girls of the Delacour family who have Veela blood.

  Catherine noticed that Albert quickly looked away, and realized that this young man was different from other men who complimented him. It was just a sincere compliment just now.

  This kind of unsparing praise made Catherine feel better when she was waiting.

   "Welcome to America, Mr. Anderson."

  Catherine glanced at Carter who had just harassed her, stepped forward to give Albert a polite meeting kiss, and introduced herself with a smile, "I am Catherine, the granddaughter of Nicholas."

   "Are all American girls so enthusiastic?" Albert was a little stunned, and muttered softly.

  He never thought of himself as Garen, everyone loves him. He quickly found the reason from an unfriendly gaze, and couldn't help frowning.

  Probably because his attire was out of place in the waiting room of the International Floo Network, several nearby wizards all cast curious eyes.

  However, Selah soon appeared in the fireplace, and after a brief hug with Nicholas, he said with a smile: "This journey is really exhausting. The French side played a little trick to stay us for half an hour."

   Right at this moment, an untimely voice sounded from the side.

   "Two gentlemen, please register here."

The staff member of the Ministry of Magic who cast a bad look at himself just now said to Albert and Serra: "According to the regulations of the Magical Congress of America, it is stipulated that all members of the American magical society (including citizens and tourists) need to carry a wand permit. Please apply for a temporary certificate here."

   As he spoke, he took the two of them to the counter next to him to apply for a temporary wand permit.

   Albert looked at the other person, frowning slightly, because he felt that this person didn't seem very friendly. He couldn't help but glance at the Miss Catherine next to him, and he could probably guess what was going on.

   "This man is sick!" he muttered.

  After seeing Serra get the wand license, Albert heard a voice in his ear, "I'm sorry sir, you are underage!"

   Albert saw the corners of the other party's mouth slightly raised, and couldn't help frowning, looking at the other party expressionlessly, waiting for him to finish speaking.

   “Underage wizards are not allowed to own wands in the United States.”

   "I know, but that's America." Albert reminded.

   "Yes." The man didn't deny this, and said softly, "According to the rules, I'm afraid I can't issue you a wand license. Your wand has to be kept in the Ministry of Magic for the time being."

   "Oh." Albert suddenly asked: "If the United States Department of Magic loses the wand, will it compensate you?"

"What?"

   "I mean, if the wand placed in the US Ministry of Magic is lost or damaged, will the Ministry of Magic compensate it?" Albert repeated.

   "We won't...lost." The man's expression was a little stiff.

   "So, you won't compensate, right!" Albert said suddenly.

   "If you don't want to hand over the wand to the Ministry of Magic for safekeeping, we probably don't welcome you." Carter's expression was a little weird.

   "Oh, can you represent the entire United States Ministry of Magic?"

   "Sorry, this is a rule, please don't embarrass me." The smile on Carter's face became more hypocritical.

"You are making things difficult for me on purpose." Albert handed the wand directly to Carter, and said calmly, "Because I didn't bring a wand with me at all. It was just a commemorative gift from a friend when I was in France. It's just a wand-like piece of wood with a signature on the end."

  Carter finally looked at A.A coming out of the handle of the wand, and his expression became more and more ugly. He didn't seem to believe in evil, and he swung it a few more times, but it had no effect.

  Albert's wand was sent back to the UK along with the Wizard Chess Championship trophy not long ago, because he predicted something from the crystal ball last night, so he sent all the magic items on him back to the UK.

   "From the beginning, you misunderstood." Albert said calmly, "If you don't believe me, you can check it yourself. Of course, you have to apologize afterwards."

   Seeing the other party's expression that he could check at will, Carter felt worse than eating a fly. The other party obviously insisted that he couldn't find the wand.

  Catherine looked at Carter, whose cheeks were getting more and more distorted, with an increasingly weird expression.

  Finally, the Ministry of Magic checked.

   Albert ordered a cup of Assam black tea.

  At that time, the U.S. Ministry of Magic did not intend to invite him to drink tea, and was going to send him away directly.

   Albert slightly revealed that he had just won the International Wizards Chess Championship, and reporters returning to China would definitely be interested in his trip to the United States.

   In this regard, the US Ministry of Magic had to pinch its nose and apologize for their faux pas.

  The four drank black tea for half an hour in the drawing room of the United States Ministry of Magic before leaving.

   "Why did you do that." Catherine asked with a frown.

"I don't think you know how to Legilimency!" Albert said suddenly, "So, you didn't see the malice in that guy's eyes just now, I dare say that as long as I leave the wand there, maybe it won't Be careful it's broken, or lost."

   "As for why, of course it was because of the kiss you gave me back then. That idiot is now dazzled by jealousy, but it's normal. Ninety percent of the people who work in the Ministry of Magic are like that."

   "I haven't had time to teach Catherine Occlumency and Legilimency." Nicholas explained. He could see that Mr. Anderson had a high level of attainment in Legilimency.

   "I finally know why everyone is unwilling to come to the United States." Albert turned to Serra and said, "I'm afraid I won't come to the United States again.
