Study Days at Hogwarts

  Chapter 663 Marriage urging

The TV in the hall is playing the Anderson family's favorite funny show. Herb and Daisy are sitting on the sofa looking through the photo album. In the photo is a family of five cats, and the cat in the photo is lying on Nia Let the hair be combed on his knees, and he has no sense of being a father at all.

  Footsteps were heard on the stairs. Albert came down from the stairs, walked behind Daisy, and stretched his head to look at the litter of kittens in the photo album. There were three cats, who looked like Tom in his childhood.

   "Your grandpa Luke just went back to raise you." Herb took the note handed over by his son, glanced at the number on it, stuffed it into his wallet and continued, "Aren't you really going to go to the South with us for vacation?"

   "I have to go to France. My teacher, uh, Mr. Nicole Flamel wants me to go to France." Albert explained casually.

   "Nicole Flamel?" Daisy turned off her voice, thinking she heard it wrong.

"It's the one you're thinking of. He gave up the Sorcerer's Stone last year. There may not be much time left. I have to hurry up and learn something from him." Albert sat down beside Herb and scanned the The TV program with no sound said.

   "Why did he give up the Philosopher's Stone." Nia couldn't understand Nicole Flamel's thoughts.

  Is it not good to live?

   "Maybe, I just lived too long and want to rest." Albert didn't quite understand, after all, he didn't live for hundreds of years like Nicole.

   "Then will he leave you the Philosopher's Stone?" Daisy hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help asking.

  If Albert becomes Nicole Flamel's disciple, he has a good chance of inheriting his legacy.

   "No, the Philosopher's Stone has been destroyed!" Albert shook his head.

The expressions on the faces of the three froze, and it was not difficult for Albert to see what they were thinking, so he explained: "There was a very evil wizard who was eyeing the Sorcerer's Stone, so Mr. Flamel destroyed the Sorcerer's Stone." .”

   "Evil wizard." Daisy frowned and asked, "Is the wizarding world dangerous?"

"If someone has great power, they will be unable to bear the loneliness and do things that are not what humans should do, just like the country next door to the ocean. Wizards with extraordinary abilities are no exception. Those guys are even more arrogant than you think .”

   "But... isn't there a Ministry of Magic?" Herb asked suspiciously.

"You should know better than me that most of them are bullying and fearing the hard. Although the Ministry of Magic is also cracking down on some evil wizards, once you encounter a particularly powerful one. Well, how should I put it, they are just like my mother this morning." The two eggs that were accidentally broken."

   "Ahem!"

   Herb couldn't help coughing slightly, he was not satisfied with Albert's description, but he understood what it meant.

  "There is no doubt, the facts have proved that this is the case, especially in the last Wizarding War, the Ministry of Magic performed very poorly, and it can even be said that it did nothing."

   "War of wizards?" Nia was very interested in this topic, "Isn't there only so few people in the wizarding world, how can there be wars?"

"The war of wizards is different from what you think." Albert organized his speech a little bit, "It is a lunatic who marries close relatives. You also know that some wizards like to marry close relatives for the so-called pure blood issue. For nearly a thousand years, A lunatic like the German head of state appeared, with a frighteningly bad temper, an arrogant, conceited, and unreasonable genius. Then, he led a group of crazy dog ​​legs who were also married by close relatives to kill people everywhere, so that everyone dared not speak His name, and the Ministry of Magic gave him a ridiculous name: You-Know-Who.”

   "Oh, my God!" Daisy couldn't help muttering, "I just said wizards are a bunch of abnormal guys."

   "And then?" Herb asked.

   "Later, a prophecy came out in the magic world, saying that there would be a savior who would defeat the Dark Lord, and then the mysterious man started looking for the prophesied baby everywhere to kill him."

   "It really is a lunatic."

   "It turns out that the lunatic did die at the hands of the newborn baby."

   "You're sure you're not telling a joke." Nia moved Tom away from her numb knee.

"I'm not joking at all. There are various signs that we are only passing through a short period of peace between the two wars. The prophecy hints that war will definitely break out again in the near future." After Albert finished speaking, he paused: " So, in a few years we'll have to leave the UK and hide from the limelight elsewhere."

   The hall suddenly fell into a strange dead silence. Everyone stared at Albert, as if they wanted to hear from his mouth: I was just joking.

   "Leaving the UK, where are we going when we leave the UK?" Herb frowned, not interested in immigration.

   "East, I remember that Britain has a colony, although that colony will be returned soon." Albert said without thinking.

   "Although our family has a little money, leaving..."

   "That number should allow us to win the jackpot." Albert said without thinking.

   "Big prize?"

   "It's the grand prize of the lottery."

   "You're not kidding."

   "I believe in prophecy, and this is the result I got with a few old friends who are good at prophecy. Probably after I graduate from Hogwarts, Britain will no longer be safe."

   "Will you leave with us?" Nia asked suddenly.

   "I need to stay in the UK temporarily." Albert didn't lie.

   The hall fell into an eerie silence again.

   "What are you staying for?" Daisy was the first to break the silence, her tone full of dissatisfaction.

   It's like saying, knowing that there is danger, but still dare to stay.

   "It's a rare opportunity for me to take advantage of it." Albert said, picking up Tom at his feet.

   "If you really win the lottery, I will believe you." Herb interrupted Daisy who was still about to say something, gave him a reassuring look, and continued, "When do you plan to get married?"

   "Married?" Nia widened her eyes and looked at Albert in disbelief.

   "Not yet sure." Albert said.

   "If it's really not safe here, then take Isobel to the east, and take his family there by the way, and you can get married there,"

  In Herb's view, when married and have a family, a man will become mature and stable, and he will put the safety of his family first.

   Albert will not take risks.

   As for whether the lottery numbers can win the jackpot, Herb actually never doubted it.

  He never intended to persuade a young man. He was so stubborn at this age that even ten bulls would not be able to pull him back, not to mention that Albert was still a man of his own mind.

   "I think Albert is getting married too early now." Nia disagrees with Albert getting married too early.

"If you don't have money, it is indeed a heavy burden. However, Albert is not short of money." Daisy agreed with Herb's plan, let her son get married as soon as possible, and then go to the east with them to seek refuge, away from the dangers of England .

  Actually, Daisy doesn't like the wizarding world very much, but she also knows that there are many benefits to letting her son master this extraordinary power.

  Some things don't exist if you don't deny them.

  That mysterious person, if he likes to kill people like Albert said, then ordinary people like them who don't know are likely to be killed innocently.

  Daisy has already decided that when she wins the grand prize, she will write a letter to Mrs. McGregor to confirm this matter first.
