Study Days at Hogwarts

  Chapter 809 Finally become brother and sister

  Peter Pettigrew is dead?

  To be honest, when Albert saw this report, his first reaction was not that Pettigrew Peter died, but that he escaped from Azkaban.

  Although he had long believed that Peter Pettigrew would escape from prison, he was still a little surprised when he heard the news from the newspaper.

  The story of the novel has changed a little due to his interference, but Peter Pettigrew is still a relatively important character, and he is the key to Voldemort's resurrection. It is absolutely impossible to die directly because he was sent to Azkaban Prison.

   Without him, Voldemort may have to continue to linger in the Albanian forest for the next few years, or even decades, with his smuggler friends.

  Because among Tom's old buddies, no one really wanted him back, otherwise, how could no one go looking for Voldemort in the forests of Albania after more than ten years?

   This matter is actually not a secret anymore, as long as the well-informed wizards know that Voldemort may be hiding in the Albanian forest.

"Speaking of which, Tom is actually quite pitiful. All the faithful and reliable are squatting in the Azkaban Prison, leaving only a group of unreliable youngsters." Albert murmured, "I I remember that he seemed to be able to see through other people's lies, so I wonder how he felt when facing the group of Death Eaters below!"

  Of course, even if Tom really crawled out of the cauldron, he probably wouldn't tell Albert.

The question now is how Pettigrew Peter escaped from Azkaban prison. His Animagus is a mouse. I believe the Ministry of Magic should have known it from Black. Pettigrew Peter had a chance to escape, otherwise the Ministry of Magic would have to squat on the toilet and eat shit.

   "Albert?"

  The familiar and gentle voice sounded again, interrupting Albert's thinking. Isobel's fair and rosy cheeks appeared in the double-sided mirror, and he looked at Albert who was slightly distracted.

   "What's wrong?" She asked softly.

   "I found something." Albert said, "Wait a while, I have to record this and study it another day."

   After finishing speaking, Albert picked up the notebook on the table, quickly recorded the matter of Pettigrew Peter, cut out the report and pasted it on it, and included some of his own follow-up thoughts. Then, he started chatting with Isobel and made an appointment to meet at Hogsmeade's house by the way.

   "See you later, honey."

  Albert put down the double-sided mirror, walked to the corner of the room, reached out and grabbed it, and tore off the invisible cloth covering the disappearing cabinet.

  The craftsmanship of the disappearing cabinet is not low, and it was sought after by everyone during the first wizarding war. Once the Death Eaters come to the door, the wizard can hide in the disappearing cabinet and be immediately transported to another place to escape.

But there are some problems with the disappearing cabinet. Its selling price is very expensive, and it is very expensive, so those who can afford it are rich wizards. For rich wizards, it is actually a good deal to spend money to escape .

  Of course, after the Ministry of Magic restored peace, the disappearing cabinet was eliminated by the times, but in Albert's view, this technology is still very valuable.

  He stepped into the disappearing cabinet, and as the cabinet door reopened, he arrived at the room in Hogsmeade village in the blink of an eye.

   Walking out of the hidden secret room, Isobel in a nightgown was looking at him with a smile on his face.

   "I miss you." Albert spread his hands towards the girl.

   "We seem to be chatting every day." Isobel stepped forward to hug Albert, kissed his upper lip lightly, and smiled, "Your kissing skills are much better than before."

   "It's really thanks to you as a teacher." Albert let go of his hand and pulled him to sit down. "Is it okay to spend the night here?"

   "I told mom that you have a house in Hogsmeade." Isobel asked Albert to hold her in his arms.

   "What did your mother say." Albert asked curiously.

   "He said you are more interesting than my dad." Isobel smiled happily, "She never objected to our affairs, probably to save some time, so as not to worry about my future."

   "Your mother's greatest wish is probably to see your sisters get married and have a happy family of their own." Albert could understand Mrs. McDougal's thoughts.

"By the way, mom doesn't plan to go to the World Cup with us, saying that the hospital can't leave." Isobel got down from Albert, and it was a little hot to hold each other in Xia Tian, ​​"Do you have a suitable candidate on your side? "

  Honestly speaking, Isobel is a little tangled, she doesn't like people disturbing them, but the tickets can't just be wasted like this.

   "Is that so." Albert pondered for a moment, "Then I will take Nia to watch the Quidditch World Cup. She has always longed for the wizarding world."

   "Nia?"

  Isobel frowned, thinking about the risk of this matter.

  Albert's younger sister is a Muggle, and it will be troublesome if it is exposed, but Albert said that there must be some way to bring his younger sister without causing trouble.

   After all, with the help of a wizard, it is not too difficult for a Muggle to bypass the arrangements of the Ministry of Magic and mix in the wizarding world.

   "You have to keep an eye on her when the time comes." Isobel actually understands Albert's feelings, and she also loves her sister very much.

   "Thank you." Albert sighed softly, "Not being a wizard is a very cruel thing for Nia."

   "Then thank me very much." Isobel stared at Albert with fiery eyes.

   "I suddenly found that you are more beautiful than before." Albert was a little surprised by Isobel's changes. She seemed to quickly adapt to the role she played, giving him the feeling of a newlywed wife in love.

   The quiet night is very long, but the night life belonging to the two has just begun.

  …

  Albert left before dawn. Before that, he went back to a few hours ago through the time converter, and then used the disappearing cabinet to return to his bedroom, then threw himself on the bed and continued to sleep.

  When he woke up, the sky was completely bright, and there was a knock on the door outside. Nia pushed the door into the room, looked at Albert suspiciously, "You look tired?"

   "The beauty potion is on the table." Albert reminded.

   "I think you need to be restrained." Nia said without hesitation, "Or is that kind of thing really fascinating?"

  Albert felt inexplicably awkward, especially when it was his sister who was talking about it with him.

   Noticing the embarrassment on Albert's face, Nia curled her lips and said, "Girls nowadays are actually more open than you think. A certain friend of mine is just with his boyfriend... Anyway, you understand."

"Your friend?"

   Albert looked at Nia suspiciously, the corners of his mouth twitching slightly.

   "My age. In fact, most girls my age have found boyfriends." Nia pulled up a chair and sat down to chat with Albert.

"You should protect yourself and stay away from those scumbags, lest you get hurt." Albert educated earnestly, "To find a boyfriend, you have to choose someone you like and reliable in doing things. The most important thing is to have three views." suitable."

   "Don't bring yourself in, there are not many guys like you in the whole of the UK." Nia couldn't help complaining, "You probably don't know how popular you are!"

  Actually, Nia is not interested in most boys now, the main reason is that she was raised by Alberto. When meeting male friends, I always like to compare him with Albert, and then...it's not good to have a brother who is too good.

  The breakfast was very rich, and the meat on the table was basically replaced by fish and chicken. Everyone chatted about going shopping later while eating.

   "By the way, there is the Quidditch World Cup in the wizarding world this year. Someone gave me a few tickets. Would Nia go to the game with me?" Albert asked suddenly.

   The hall suddenly fell into a dead silence.

   "Watching a football game?" Nia looked up at Albert and asked in a trembling voice, "Can I really go?"

   "Of course, as long as you pretend to be a wizard and sneak in." Albert said with a smile, "However, you must not run around, let alone leave my side. This is my condition and requirement."

"No problem at all."

  Nia had a very bright smile on her face, and she felt that today was her lucky day.

   "Quidditch?" Luke had a little nostalgia on his face, "The Daily Prophet said that it seems that Britain hasn't won a championship in thirty years."

   "Is it really all right?" Sansa asked worriedly. She felt that it was unreliable to let Nia mix with wizards. If her identity was exposed, it might cause a lot of trouble.

   "Don't worry, as long as she doesn't run around, there will be no problem." Albert almost patted his chest to assure, "It's like traveling abroad."

   "Who else but you?"

   "Isobel and her sister Katrina will also go with us to watch the Quidditch World Cup." Albert said, "We will live in a tent then."

   "A tent?" Every time Sansa talked about the wizarding world, she felt that she couldn't keep up with the topic.

   "The wizard's tent is very spacious, like a small house." Luke explained.

   "Magic is amazing." Sansa changed her words, "Dumplings for lunch, what fillings do you want?"

   "Shrimp dumplings." Albert said, "I can help out then."

   After breakfast, the family took Luke's car to London for shopping.

   After the two parties agreed on the time and place to meet, they separated on the side of the street. Albert's first stop was to buy a dress for Nia.

  It was a brand store, and the clothes in it were very expensive, which was why Nia came to him.

  Nia naturally couldn't throw all the pounds into stocks, but she planned to save some money for herself to meet unexpected needs.

   Moreover, in her words: Albert doesn't need pounds anyway, so it's better to spend the money on his lovely sister.

   "How is it?" Nia turned around in front of Albert in an off-white dress, "I think this dress matches the hat you gave me last time."

   "Not bad." Albert felt that Nia had matured a lot, and her temperament was different from the lively and lovely sister he remembered.

  I can only say that pretty girls look good in anything.

   "This is the most popular style at present, very suitable for your girlfriend." The young waitress touted.

   "That's my sister." Albert corrected.

  The waitress was a little embarrassed. She felt that the two were more like a couple. After all, girls usually buy clothes with their girlfriends or boyfriends.

   "Yes, this is my brother." Nia winked at the young waitress and said, "However, he already has a girlfriend."

  The waitress looked at the brother and sister who went to the front desk to check out with a face full of astonishment.

   "Okay, next, let's go buy your clothes!" Nia turned to Albert and said.

   With adequate nutrition, Albert was nearly six feet tall, and many clothes were shortened.

  The girls' enthusiasm for shopping is terrible, and Albert really can't understand why Nia is so keen on buying clothes for herself. He felt like a puppet trying on clothes, changing several clothing stores before he was satisfied.

  Of course, Nia's vision is very good. After Albert changed into a whole new set of clothes, he looked even more sunny and handsome.

   However, the troublesome problem is that the two will always be mistaken by the shop assistants as boyfriend and girlfriend.

   "I think we are still somewhat similar."

   Albert looked at himself in the glass window of the milk tea shop and said that he didn't understand why some people always thought they were lovers, not brother and sister.

"That's their trick. Most boys are always more generous in front of their girlfriends, so when they see men and women shopping together, they will always assume that they are a couple by default." Nia took a sip of milk tea and easily exposed it with a smile. The little thought of the shop assistants.

   "Okay, almost all bought, we should go back." Luke and Sansa were going much faster than they were, and there was a lot of stuff in the back seat of the car, including a big fan.

  With the arrival of summer, the fan in the living room is no longer sufficient for four people. As for air conditioning, the cost of installing air conditioning in Europe is actually quite expensive, and summer usually doesn't last long.

  Back home, Albert sat in the living room and watched TV for a while. After feeling the wind from the big fan, he went to the kitchen to help with cooking. At noon, he had seafood fried noodles and a large portion of seafood dumpling soup.

   While everyone was enjoying the food, an owl flew in through the window, threw a letter in front of Albert, and almost knocked over his bowl of dumplings.

   Albert picked up the letter and glanced at the sender. It was a personal letter from the Minister of Magic. Albert opened the letter and read the contents of the letter: Fudge told Albert in the letter that he had been awarded the third class of the Order of Merlin.

   Then, another owl flew in and threw a package on the table. Inside the package was an exquisite box with a gold medal and a white ribbon symbolizing the third class of the Order of Merlin.

   Albert picked up the medal, weighed it in his hand, threw it back into the box, and said, "Gold-plated."

  The three people who were originally attracted by the medal all looked stunned.

   "The current medals and trophies are all gold-plated." Albert picked up another official-looking official letter from the Ministry of Magic, and when he opened it, he found that it actually commended him for his outstanding contribution to restoring the human form spell.

  Albert originally thought that he needed to provide more relevant information about the Humanoid Restoration Curse, and it could only be passed after strict approval. He didn't expect to win the award so easily, and it was too hasty to prevent mistakes.

  What he didn't know was that last month, Fudge had people try to restore the human form spell during the full moon, and then restored the werewolf to human form in full view.

   So Albert won the award.

Compared with Albert's hasty award, Fudge's award ceremony was much more formal. Almost the entire front page of the "Daily Prophet" was reporting that he received the Order of Merlin First Class, and directly referred to Albert's award. The news squeezed into the corner.

   However, Cornelius Fudge's award was not satisfactory, and many wizards believed that Fudge was not eligible to win the award.

  In contrast, the news of Albert's award also spread quietly. After the three owls from the Ministry of Magic, more owls swarmed here, bringing congratulations from old friends.

   "Oh my God, how come there are so many owls."

  Sansa is a little bewildered as she watches the owls flying about in the kitchen, messing up their lunch.

   "Congratulations from a friend." Albert looked at the messy restaurant and said helplessly, "I will help clean it up later."
