Study Days at Hogwarts

  Chapter 587 Excuses

   Sure enough, it was quite the right decision not to agree with Kenneth to use his name. God knows what that guy was thinking.

  Maybe, being a human being is too greedy.

   "That guy has always been like this," Percy said as he walked towards him, apparently hearing a few people gather to discuss something interesting about Kenneth.

   "What are you posting." Albert changed the subject.

"The latest announcement on going to Hogsmeade village, you can go again before the Christmas holiday." Percy turned his head and looked at the bulletin board surrounded by students, and said in a low voice, "Kenneth's family is doing black market. Business, you should also know that it is definitely not easy to get along with you if you can do business in the black market."

  Albert didn't pay much attention to Percy's reminder. He turned his head and looked out the window at the storm, with a faint smile on his lips.

   In the final analysis, it is only a matter of interests. As long as there are Galleons to earn, the two parties can still become partners.

  The wind is getting stronger and stronger, the wind and snow obscured the vision, and the winter at Hogwarts is getting colder and colder.

   This is hard for the Gryffindor Quidditch players who are still training hard. Because of their victory over the Slytherin team last time, Wood believes that this year's Quidditch champion is expected.

   After all, the biggest obstacle preventing them from winning the Quidditch championship has been overcome by them, and there is no reason for them to be robbed of the Quidditch championship trophy by other academies.

  Every time Fred and George finished training, they complained that Wood was the devil, which convinced Albert that he had made the right choice.

   Today, the Gryffindor team is completely different from the Quidditch team led by Charlie.

  The players in Wood's team are too young and basically do not need other candidates. This also caused several hopeless substitutes to leave the team, and Albert also successfully retired.

  Before the end of the Transfiguration class, Professor McGonagall was hurrying up to give everyone homework for the Christmas holidays, which is a common practice for Hogwarts professors when the holidays are approaching.

  After class, Professor McGonagall left everyone for a few minutes to collect the list of students who stayed in school for Christmas.

  Most of the students will go home for the Christmas holidays. This year, there was an attack, and very few students are willing to stay.

   However, there are always exceptions to everything.

  Because the Weasleys were planning to visit Bill in Egypt, the Weasley children planned to stay at school for the holidays.

   To be honest, this surprised Albert a little. Mr. Weasley, who was suspended for investigation and fined, actually had the money to visit their eldest son in Egypt, and...

  He remembered that this time it seemed that he didn’t make it. Later, the Weasley family won a big prize, and the whole family went to Egypt together during the summer vacation, which also triggered the follow-up incident of Black’s escape from prison.

  Of course, Albert didn't care whether Fred and George stayed at school for the holidays, he was waiting for Isobel's reply.

   Albert invited Isobel to attend Mr. Delacour's wedding together.

All right!

  Actually, Albert also wanted to kidnap Isobel and go to Italy for vacation together.

  As long as Isobel agrees, Albert will immediately write to Mrs. McDougal to finalize the matter.

   As for money?

   Money is no longer an issue.

   After receiving Albert's suggestion, Uncle Charlie recruited gourmet snack chefs from various countries and opened a chain store.

   There may not be many skilled chefs in the UK, but in places like London, there is definitely no shortage of foreign chefs, and milk tea shops are becoming more and more popular.

  Charlie's shops are opening more and more, and he is gradually becoming the richest person in the family, and Albert's money bag is gradually filling up.

  Even if he didn't inherit part of Garen from Wild Smith, Albert is already considered a rich man now.

   Next, it will only get richer and richer.

   He even considered the possibility of exchanging some of the pounds for Galleons.

  Actually, it's not that the wizarding world doesn't use the British pound, it's just that most wizards don't have access to it.

  Albert once asked Bud to know these things.

After all, it is impossible for wizards to grow wheat by themselves, and even most of the daily necessities. The entire wizarding world is too small to produce enough supplies to meet their own consumption. Some wizards still need to disguise themselves as Muggle merchants and other Dealing with Muggles naturally requires the use of Muggle coins, which is why Gringotts will allow Muggle students to exchange pounds for Galleons.

   Otherwise, how could the goblins do business at a loss?

   It's just that the amount of pounds used in the entire wizarding world is not much, and many wizards don't even know about it, let alone the fact that the wheat used to make bread comes from the Muggle world.

   Otherwise, pure-blood wizards who look down on Muggles may start a campaign to ban the use of wheat from the Muggle world.

  The magical world has never been independent from the ordinary world. For example, after the Minister of Magic takes office, it is customary to greet the Muggle Prime Minister.

  The Muggle Prime Minister is surrounded by Aurors sent by the Ministry of Magic to protect, or monitor.

  Isobel replied only the next day, and she agreed to go to Mr. Delacour's wedding together as Albert's female companion.

   I don't know if it was because Albert accidentally mentioned that this time it was the wedding that the pen pal from France invited him to, and everything went well.

  As for Mrs. McDougal, the reply arrived the next day.

  After Albert proposed to take Isobel to France to attend the wedding, and take her to Italy for the Christmas holiday, Mrs. McDougal agreed very simply.

  In short, everyone is very satisfied.

   However, Katrina has been a bit confused lately. She also received a letter from Mrs. McGregor asking if she planned to go home for Christmas holidays.

  This redundant lady, she hasn't realized the situation yet, and there seems to be something wrong!

   When she was looking for Isobel, she found that her sister was missing... It seemed that she went on a date again.

   Sure enough, the elder sister Mo Ruomei.

  In the brightly lit and warm room, Albert was meeting Isobel's eyes. Looking at the girl who didn't have much expression, Albert blinked and asked, "Are you angry?"

"No."

   "That's getting angry."

   "I'm in a hurry." Isobel said.

   "No way, I'm afraid you will run away." Albert said seriously.

   "You should have told me directly."

   "I'm not here to ask for your opinion."

   Totally dishonest!

  Isobel is still a little unhappy. She is not angry with Albert, but feels that she has been fooled by a group of people.

  Just as Mogg fooled her into going to the wedding together, her mother agreed to let her go on vacation with Albert in a foreign country.

  Besides, why is it that everyone looks like you will never get married?

   "Okay, don't be angry." Albert comforted, "You will graduate from Hogwarts soon, and there will be very few chances to leave good memories in the future."

  Albert's words are true, two years is not a long time, but it is not very friendly to them.

   "If it's not inappropriate, I actually want to marry you in advance when I become an adult at the age of 17." Albert said seriously.

   "What are you thinking about in your head?" Isobel's cheeks became flushed, and he raised his hand to knock Albert's brain.

   "I just don't want to keep you waiting too long."

   "Hmph, an excuse." The girl mumbled and asked in a low voice, "Did you predict something again?"
