Study Days at Hogwarts

  Chapter 518 The Wizard Forced to Hold a Grudge

Carter works for the Magical Congress of America. Although he is not very satisfied with his job and thinks that applying for temporary wand licenses for others will not be able to show his talents, he is still proud of being able to have a stable job in the Magical Congress. Many students who graduated from the same school failed to serve in the Magic Congress.

  Like most wizards in the United States, Carter would read the New York Ghost newspaper for a while before breakfast every day.

   On the TV in front of the dining table, the No-Maj morning news was playing, although he had no idea what the No-Maj was talking about on TV.

   When turning to the third page, the expression on Carter's face suddenly froze.

  Who is Albert Anderson?

  Carter has almost forgotten about it. If the New York Ghost News no longer mentions this person, he has even completely forgotten about him.

   These days, the reporters of the New York Ghost newspaper have never been able to interview Albert Anderson as they wished, so they changed their thinking. Since they couldn't interview the other party, they interviewed the wizards who had contact with him.

  Thus, there were interviews with the third edition of the New York Ghost newspaper today, and they were all well-known wizards in certain fields.

"…Yes Yes.

  We met not long ago. It is completely different from the report in the last New York Ghost newspaper. Mr. Anderson is a very polite boy.

  Um, what to do?

  We are discussing the improvement of a potion. It is hard to imagine that Mr. Anderson has a high attainment in potion. He even gave me a lot of advice.

  Honestly, really awesome, I'm honored to have had the opportunity to know him.

   There is no doubt that he will be a great wizard in the future..."

  The famous potion expert Pigot Moglira said so in an interview.

  “…the young champion did come to visit me, with my old friend Nicholas, who had come to America to exchange alchemy.

  However, he doesn't seem to be used to the American magical society, is it normal?

  Many foreign wizards are not used to the magical society in America.

   Rude?

   Oh, no, I think Mr. Carter was totally talking nonsense in the New York Ghost last time. Of course, I can also understand that the envy of the genius made him do something irrational..."

  The famous alchemist Tiger Jones thinks that the American New York Ghost newspaper is a bit small-minded, and it cannot just smear the other party just because Albert defeated the American player in the competition, so as to mislead other American wizards.

  Of course, the New York Ghost newspaper deleted the second half of the interview.

  "...Although I think Mr. Anderson's theory is much higher than practice, but at Mr. Anderson's age, there is no way.

  Um, what to do?

   Of course, it is to exchange herbal medicine cultivation and medicinal value, very powerful child, I think he will definitely be a powerful herbal medicine expert in the future.

   Before leaving, Mr. Anderson hoped to find me to buy some American peppermint seeds and my homemade peppermint tea. I sent him a large box.

   I have to say that he is a very tasteful and moral person.

  Why do you think he wants American Mint?

  Mr. Anderson believes that American mint is a valuable magic plant. He likes it very much, and even plans to cultivate it himself, and dig out other medicinal values ​​of this plant.

  Well, you said that report in the New York Ghost newspaper, that guy named Carter is just talking nonsense..."

  Herb expert Charles Cokra unceremoniously criticized the New York Ghost in an interview.

  Of course, the latter part of the interview was also deleted.

  The expression on Carter's face froze completely, he threw the newspaper on the table viciously, closed his eyes and took a deep breath, he didn't watch the last interview with Nicholas.

  For some reason, the voice of the No-Maj TV news became extremely irritated, as if everyone was laughing at him.

  Carter couldn't understand why so many famous wizards would speak for that annoying guy.

   On the contrary, he has become a mediocre person who likes to be jealous. It is impossible to imagine what other wizards who have read this newspaper will think of him.

   Carter had never hated someone so much, never.

  …

   "Mr. Anderson, it seems that those few people have very good evaluations of you."

   These days, in addition to refining the Buffy brain-boosting potion, Nicholas also took Albert to visit three of his close friends, and took a look at the phantom smelling herb planted by an American herbal medicine expert.

  However, Albert was not interested in that thing at all, and instead asked for some American mint seeds.

  Looking at the New York Ghost, Nicholas vaguely understood the other party's intentions. It seemed that Carter's interview disgusted him, and this young wizard still held a grudge.

  So, Albert met with those experts in various fields, and through the evaluation of others, he easily reversed his reputation.

   After all, they are all experts who do practical things, and their influence in the United States is still very good. Their evaluation completely characterizes Carter, who spoke ill of Albert back then, as a mediocre wizard who likes to be jealous of geniuses.

  Nicholas suddenly felt a little sympathetic to that Mr. Carter. His future life will definitely not be easy!

   Well, the actual situation is a little bit different from Nicholas' self-imagining. Unfortunately, Mr. Carter is just an abandoned child thrown out by the New York Ghost Newspaper to attract firepower.

  After all, they did not underestimate Albert at the beginning, and used him to attract the attention of the audience. Now it is only Mr. Carter's turn.

  Actually, Albert didn't have the heart to plot against Mr. Carter. He doesn't even remember who Carter is anymore, what's more, the two sides will never meet again, and there is no need to waste a little thought on each other.

  He just took advantage of the opportunity of coming to the American magic world to open up some contacts for himself, maybe it will be useful one day in the future.

   Members of the Wild Smith family know how to make friends, and Albert felt that it wouldn't hurt him to learn a little bit.

   "Then, let's go back!" Sera took off his hat and bid farewell to the two,

   "Thank you for your hospitality, Mr. Nicholas, Miss Catherine."

   Albert smiled and waved goodbye to the two, "If you are free, welcome to England for a visit. I guarantee that the air there is freer than in the United States."

  The two left the villa and came to the open space outside.

  Selah pulls out an old wizard hat.

   They naturally didn't plan to go back through the normal way, and they didn't come to the United States anyway. Even if they used the Portkey, the Magic Congress of America couldn't control them, let alone, they didn't know it at all.

  The two reached out and grabbed the corner of the wizard's hat, and the hat began to shake. The next moment, Albert felt as if there was a force pulling himself, and his feet flew off the ground.

   "They left!"

   Nicholas looked at the empty space and said to Catherine.

"Um."

  Catherine looked at the Buffy brain refresher on the table and asked, "All failed?"

"It's not a failure. It's just that if you want to perfect something like potion, you need to spend a lot of time and energy to practice, and Buffy's Brain Refreshing Potion is the same as Felix Elixir, and you can't make mistakes." Nicholas admired Abel very much. He had a special talent, but he didn't expect that the other party was even proficient in potions. The improved version of Buffy's Brain Refreshing Potion did have fewer side effects than the original one.

   "It seems that there is a big gap between me and him!" Catherine is actually very good at potions, but she can't do anything about some difficult potions.

   "To be able to be called the most talented wizard in the magic world for hundreds of years by Serra, the talent is naturally outstanding."

   Nicholas could see that Catherine was interested in Albert.

   After all, it is normal for geniuses to attract each other.

  However, there are some things that cannot be forced. Catherine obviously doesn't like it. It's more curious and stubborn that she doesn't want to admit defeat.

   "From today, I will start teaching you Occlumency and Legilimency!" Nicholas looked at the place where the two disappeared, and said to his granddaughter: "You still have a lot to learn."

   "Well, I see." Catherine nodded, she was already ready.
