Study Days at Hogwarts

  Chapter 528 Perception

  In the end, Albert failed to stay overnight at Isobel's house as he wished. From the beginning, he didn't expect himself to stay overnight.

   Now, not yet.

  Isobel's mother, Mrs. McDougal, is very similar to Albert's mother Daisy, both of whom are working women.

  If you want to say the only difference, I am afraid that Mrs. McDougal is not good at housework. The seafood dinner that day was completed by the McDougal sisters.

  They sat at the dining table chatting, talking about some trivial things in life.

   It was a very normal meal. It could be seen that Mrs. McDougal was very satisfied with Albert, especially when Albert said that his parents were also very satisfied with Isobel.

  As for Albert's status as a Muggle wizard, Mrs. McDougal didn't particularly care. The dinner was spent in such calm and chatting, and both parties left a good impression on each other.

  Finally, Mrs. McDougal connected the fireplaces on both sides through her contacts, allowing Albert to use the Floo network to return home before ten o'clock.

   This dinner was not what Albert expected, but everything went well.

   "The wizard's magic is incredible."

  Looking at the figure coming out of the fireplace, Herb reached out to support Albert who almost fell.

   "How is it over there?" Daisy asked.

   "Everything is going well." Albert patted the dust on his body, reached out and picked up Tom who came over curiously, and came to the sofa to sit down.

   "Why are you all saying some inexplicable things?" Nia looked back and forth at the three people in front of her, and she felt that they had something to hide from her.

   "She is willing to help research beauty potions." Albert changed the topic: "Maybe, there will be a day of success."

   "Didn't it mean that wizard's beauty potions can change people's appearance?" Daisy quickly picked up the topic. She didn't forget the French wizard she met when she went to the snow mountain for vacation last time.

   "Potion is a kind of magical thing. Since it can make people live forever, it may also make people look immortal." Albert explained casually: "The success rate should be quite high, and it is very profitable."

  Nia was not interested in the so-called beauty potions, and stared straight at Albert, as if she wanted to see something else from him.

   Next, they talked about similar things most of the time, especially when they learned that the Philosopher's Stone was about to be destroyed. Neither Daisy nor Herb could understand, but they could only express their regrets.

   While Albert was chatting, the three McDougal mother and daughter also sat at the dining table to chat about today's affairs after finishing the tableware.

   "Your boyfriend looks very unusual." Mrs. McDougal said, "He doesn't look like a Muggle wizard."

After noticing her daughter's gaze, Mrs. McDougall quickly added, "I'm not saying he's bad, I just think it's very unusual. No Muggle wizard can do it to his level, especially...no Deny, Albert is indeed talented, but it is not easy to establish friendly correspondence with other famous wizards."

   "Does mom care about this?" Isobel asked softly, looking at his reflection in the teacup.

   "No, just a little curious."

  Mrs. McDougall shook her head and said, "Even if it is a talented wizard, it is not easy to be popular among a bunch of famous wizards."

  The circle of wizards is actually very narrow, and some of them are even full of talent, so you may not be able to get in without being introduced.

   However, her daughter's boyfriend is obviously very famous in many circles.

   Potions, spells, transfiguration, runes, alchemy... Even becoming the youngest international wizard chess champion not long ago, even Dumbledore probably couldn't do it when he was young.

  Mrs. McDougal felt a little strange, but she didn't mean to delve into it. Everyone has their own secrets, and for Isobel, this is actually a good thing.

  The three chatted very late, and the topics all revolved around Albert. Isobel also talked about the matter with Albert. Katrina had an extremely complicated expression after listening.

   Sure enough, they are all liars.

   It’s a lie to start dating only last semester.

   Even Mrs. McDougal was surprised that her daughter had started dating so early.

   "Does Katrina like Albert too?" Mrs. McDougall asked after Katrina returned to the room.

   "It seems a little bit." Isobel thought for a while and said, "After all, Albert has always been very popular, the best boyfriend of the girls in school."

"I know you are very assertive, but I don't want you two to have a bad relationship because of this matter." Mrs. McDoug frowned slightly, although she felt that the possibility of such a thing should not be high, but It should be mentioned just in case.

  After all, Isobel will graduate early, and Albert and Katrina will graduate together two years later. God knows what will happen in two years.

   After all, Katrina is also a pretty girl.

   "She has no chance." Isobel shook his head and said, "There was no chance from the beginning."

   "Albert hopes to get engaged to me when he becomes an adult." Speaking of this, the girl's cheeks turned slightly red, "Uncle Mogg will be our witness."

   "He is more proactive than your father." Mrs. McDougall recalled with her chin in her hands, "Your father only got up the courage to propose to me when he was in the seventh grade."

Mrs. McDougal did not object either. She felt that it would be useless to object. Her eldest daughter is a genius, far better than his father, and because of the family relationship, she is very precocious and has devoted a lot to the family. Mrs. McDougal wants her daughter to be happy.

  That Albert is obviously more talented, and he is also very precocious. It is said that the situation of the two is very similar, so they came together and had their own topics of communication.

   "Actually, you have something to worry about me, right!" Mrs. McDougall said suddenly, "Your father was also under the care of Mogg at that time, and he had a good relationship with many famous wizards."

"When I was chatting with Albert, I even saw the shadow of your father in him, but Albert is more talented." Mrs. McDoug said angrily, "I'm not stupid, your father Back then, he didn’t inherit much property from his family, but he was able to own a beautiful manor here, and he could even stay at home and do magic research.”

  Isobel's mouth swelled, but he didn't speak.

   "And your Uncle Mogg."

Mrs. McDougall snorted softly, "He basically didn't inherit any property from the McGonagall family, but he became a rich and famous wizard in a short period of time, and there are house elves to help take care of it." manor."

  When Mrs. McDougal married Isobel's father, the McDougal family had long since declined, but there was not much property left.

  After her husband died, the family has been taken care of by her husband's friends. Isobel is even very fond of Mogg, and the other party is going to be the witness of their marriage, which is indescribably weird.

  As long as you sort out the social circle of a few people, it is not difficult to find the problem. Maybe, it is a circle that only genius wizards are eligible to join!
