Study Days at Hogwarts

  Chapter 807 A few things before the holiday

  The warm summer breeze blows across the sparkling lake, bringing the pleasant laughter of the girls on the shore of the lake.

  Since the end of the final exam, everyone has become lazy, leaving the stuffy castle and going outside to pass the last leisure time before the summer vacation.

  In the shadow of the beech trees by the lake, Albert and Isobel were sitting there talking in a whisper.

   "How does it feel to graduate?" Albert smiled and asked the girl who was slightly distracted.

   "A little lost and confused." Isobel tilted his head and looked at the big boy beside him and said, "I still have a little bit of reluctance."

   "Because of me?" Albert asked knowingly.

"Uh, I regret not being able to graduate with you." Isobel looked at the group of girls not far away who had taken off their shoes and socks and soaked their feet in the lake to cool off, and said softly, "Before leaving school , When faced with real life, many people will change, become unfamiliar, realistic, and drift away from the past.”

"I should be the one who needs to worry. Maybe after you went out, you saw the colorful world outside, and you dumped me." Albert lifted up Isobel's hair, and put his head to the girl's ear He said softly, "Maybe, I should..."

  Isobel's cheeks were flushed, and he couldn't help but give Albert a white look, "Why are you so full of these things now?"

   "I'm almost an adult." Albert blinked and said, "As long as you have money and live a carefree life, you don't need to care about many things at all, and you don't need to be restrained."

   "No." Isobel shook his head, "This is really ridiculous, can't you be serious?"

   "I'm not joking. As far as I know, Potter's parents got married after graduation and had children soon." Albert gave an example: "They are not as mature as us in terms of mentality."

   Of course, this is just saying, they are too young, they are not ready, and the timing is not right.

An owl flapped its wings across the blue sky and flew towards the school with a letter in its mouth. As it flew across the lake, it landed in the shade of a beech tree and handed the envelope to Amy. Burt.

   "Thank you." Albert took out the owl nuts and fed them to it.

   "You are really a busy person." Isobel teased, "It is said that the famous Mr. Anderson receives a letter every two days on average."

   "It's not just to make money to support you." Albert asked with a smile, "How should I repay me?"

   "Don't you see who sent it?"

   "Old boy Tiberus Ogden."

   Albert glanced at the sender and probably guessed what was inside the envelope. He opened the envelope and took out a small stack of tickets for the Quidditch World Cup from the letter. Albert was a little speechless, and they were all the top tickets.

   “I dare say the tickets are free.”

   "Is there an internal ticket?" Isobel guessed the reason.

   "Well, by the way, is Mrs. McDougal really not going to the game?" Albert asked, "There are tickets for four people here."

   "I don't know, my mother has been very busy, I'll write to you later," Isobel said.

   "Don't worry, there is still more than a month before the Quidditch World Cup anyway."

  The few days before the holiday are the most comfortable days for everyone. They don't have to go to class, let alone worry about the final exam.

Albert and Isobel are tired of chatting about the summer vacation together. He has already arranged to meet at Hogsmeade's house during the summer vacation. The house is basically completed. If Isobel is willing, he can meet at Working there, the two can also meet there through the disappearing cabinet.

  Yes, using the Vanishing Cabinet is not considered using magic, just like riding a broomstick, you will not be warned by the Ministry of Magic.

  Albert has decided to pack the disappearing cabinet in the Room of Requirement into a suitcase and take it away.

   Sending letters with an owl with your girlfriend is not as fun as using a double-sided mirror to chat, and using a double-sided mirror to chat is not as real as dating.

  You must know that men and women in love can't wait to be together all day long.

  On the last night of the semester, everyone went to the auditorium in twos and threes to attend the year-end banquet. Looking at the scarlet and gold decorations in the Great Hall, it is not difficult to guess that Gryffindor House has won the House Cup this year.

  At the teacher's seat, Professor McGonagall was shaking hands with Professor Snape, who was smiling awkwardly. The reason was that Hogwarts had won the Potions Championship, which was undoubtedly something worth celebrating.

  Gryffindor College tonight seemed to be the protagonist of the banquet. The long table was extremely lively, and every Gryffindor student was celebrating their victory in the House Cup.

  The next day, when he was dragging his suitcase and boarding the Thestral carriage, Albert looked in the direction of the Black Lake. Seventh grade graduates had a ceremony to cross the lake by boat.

  Students will again take the magic boat they arrived at the castle in first grade and leave the castle in a poetic and symbolic way.

   “With luck, we got a few orders before the summer break.”

On the Thestral carriage, Fred and George talked to Albert about the gains of the past few days. Although they were unable to post an advertisement on the bulletin board due to Percy's relationship, the results of the few days before leaving school were displayed. It still aroused the curiosity of many students, and the price of selling it is not expensive, there are actually quite a few students who are willing to spend money to buy it.

  Fred and George were full of smiles. Although they only had a few orders, they were still very happy. This is undoubtedly the first step to success.

"By the way, are you all planning to go to the Quidditch World Cup this summer?" Lee Jordan asked Albert suddenly, "If you can't get the tickets, you can ask my dad to find a way, he will definitely You are very welcome."

"Don't be silly, Albert will definitely get the tickets. I remember that Black seems to be planning to invite him to watch the game." Fred wasn't worried at all that Albert wouldn't be able to get the tickets. There is no need to worry about not being able to buy tickets.

   "I got the ticket, it was given by someone else."

   "Blake?"

   "No, some old friend."

"what about you?"

   "My dad can always get tickets from the work unit." George couldn't help asking, "What have you been watching since just now?"

   "The lake crossing ceremony for the seventh grade graduates." Albert said with his gaze back.

   "Since when did you become interested in graduation ceremonies?" Fred asked puzzled. There is a sea crossing ceremony every year at Hogwarts, but I have never seen Albert pay such attention to it.

   "Stupid, Isobel graduated this year." George reminded.

"Speaking of which, Percy's idiot actually intends to apply for a job at the Ministry of Magic." Fred said suddenly, "Mom always wants us to work at the Ministry of Magic, but she doesn't know my dad's reputation at all, which makes many innocent people in the Ministry of Magic high-level. Blood doesn’t like it, they even call us pure-blood traitors.”

"Bill worked as a curse-breaker in Egypt, not only because he liked excitement, but because he saw it better than anyone else. It is too difficult to get promoted within the Ministry of Magic." George was not optimistic about Percy's choice. , "Bill told us secretly before that it is very difficult for Muggle wizards to be promoted in the Ministry of Magic. They have to look at people's faces every day. It is simply not a human life."

   After boarding the train, it was rare for Albert to be separated from the three of them. After crossing the lake, Isobel left directly, and her luggage was packed and sent away by the house elf.

  The four of them played a few games, and when the witch pushing the cart came, they bought a lunch and chatted about some trivial things about the summer vacation while eating.

  Fred and George also got a simple magic item manufacturing list from Albert, which contained many very interesting gadgets.

   "I think we can sell invisibility cloaks in the future," Fred muttered under his breath. "Headless caps are only good for scaring people."

"At most, you can make some third-rate invisibility cloaks. Well, it's something made by applying disillusionment spells or blindfolds to ordinary traveling cloaks. However, with your abilities, it usually doesn't take long for it to appear solid. If you only sell it to students I think it is enough. However, I suggest you start with the simplest ones, everything needs to accumulate experience."

   In a few years, defensive magic items will become very popular, and Albert plans to take them to make a fortune.

   For this reason, Albert has already gathered their own gift bags for wizards and ordinary wizard families of the Ministry of Magic, which can effectively help them resist the intrusion from black magic.

  In that chaotic era, I believe that many wizards are willing to spend money to buy peace.

   The manufacture of the product needs to be commissioned by Fred and George, and Albert plans to recruit Lupine to help produce magic items.

   After all, Lupine also needs a job, and this is a very meaningful job. Albert believes that the other party will not refuse.

  The Hogwarts Express gradually slowed down, and Albert followed the crowd to get off the train, and saw a familiar figure on the platform.

   "You quickly adapted to your identity." Albert found out that Isobel had actually come to pick Katrina home.

   "Since I graduated, I will naturally pick you up." Isobel waved towards a certain place, "Katrina, this way..."

   "Where's Mom?" Katrina asked suspiciously.

   "I will pick you up in the future." Isobel said.

  Katrina was a little stunned, and it was difficult to accept such a change.

   "Okay, it's time for us to go home, see you another day."

   Isobel smiled and kissed Albert's cheek, took Katrina's hand while taking the suitcase, Apparated and left.

   "Sister-in-law can't be bothered."

   Albert dragged his luggage through the entrance alone, returning to the Muggle world.

  After walking out of King's Cross Station, Albert couldn't find Herb's car, so he couldn't help raising his eyebrows slightly, thinking they were late, but he heard a car horn in the distance.

   "This way." Nia was standing outside a car waving at him.

   "What's going on?" Albert pulled his luggage and walked over, only to find that it was Grandpa Luke who came to pick him up.

   "Heb and Daisy went to the East not long ago, and you will live with us during the summer vacation." Luke explained with a smile.

  Nia carried Tom's cage to the back seat.

   Albert stuffed the remaining luggage into the back of the car, sat in the passenger seat and asked, "Why didn't they write to me about this?"

   "I didn't let it go, I'm going to surprise you." Luke blinked and said, "Sansa should have prepared something you like."

   "It's a bit surprising." Albert said.

   "He seems to have seen your so-called money-making opportunity over there." Nia, who has been playing with Tom the fat cat's ears, said, "They have been investigating the market over there to prepare for your prediction."

   "Very good, opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared."

  Albert agrees with Herb's approach very much. As long as he seizes the opportunity, he can make a lot of money by taking the opportunity.

   "I don't like it very much." Nia scratched Tom's chin and said, "I don't understand the language, and I always feel that it's messy over there."

   "Didn't you learn the language over there?" Albert asked.

   "I learned it, but I can't speak it well, and I don't understand it well. It is said that the language spoken in the colony is different." Nia complained, "Not everyone is like you."

   "If you don't want to stay there, you can come back after this end." Albert comforted, "During this time, you will be on vacation abroad."
