Study Days at Hogwarts

  Chapter 836 My sister's friends

  The youngest winner of the "Cairo International Alchemy Conference Pioneering Contribution Gold Award" was born!

  Katrina was sitting in the dining room, flipping through the headlines of today's "Daily Prophet", and found that she seemed to see a similar scene in the newspaper again.

  Not long ago, the headlines of the Daily Prophet similarly raved about the good news that Albert Anderson won the "Barnabus Finkley Award for Excellence in Spellcasting."

   "That guy is really good."

  The girl carefully read the article in the newspaper and compared this report with what she heard from other people. She couldn't help but lose interest in this report. At least 70% of the content was fabricated indiscriminately.

  She still remembered that Isobel said that Albert's self-introduction after winning the award was very handsome, and directly shocked those wizards who questioned his award because of his age.

   "Should I give up the Christmas ball?" Katrina guessed what Albert meant by inviting herself to this year's Christmas ball. She was actually very conflicted and even a little angry. However, Isobel has made it very clear that he does not intend to go to the Yule Ball and is willing to lend her the dress.

  Katrina actually really likes Isobel's dress, and it just happened to match Albert's dress.

  Perhaps, she should give up the opportunity to Isobel.

  Put down the "Daily Prophet", Katrina raised her head and looked in the direction of the kitchen, and a busy figure came into view. Ever since Isobel invited two girlfriends to visit her home, Katrina suddenly discovered that there was an extra house elf in her home without warning. She was not only responsible for helping to prepare three meals a day, but also helping with housework.

  She once asked Isobel, what happened to that house elf?

   "I borrowed it from someone, and I will go back after a while."

   This is the answer Isobel gave back then.

   Looking for someone to borrow a house-elf?

   Who would lend their house-elf to others for a few days, and who is it trying to trick?

  Do you really look like a fool?

  Of course, Katrina did not suspect that the house elf that appeared now was a servant brought by two female friends of Isobel.

   But this possibility was later ruled out by Katrina, because the beautiful girl named Valeria seemed surprised that there were house-elves in their house when she saw the house-elves.

   Moreover, Katrina always felt that the house elf looked familiar, as if she had seen it somewhere before, and the number of house elves she had seen with her own eyes was really very limited, and she could count them with one finger.

  Isobel actually borrowed the house elf from Uncle Mogg's manor to help, and Uncle Mogg actually agreed?

   "Miss Katrina, breakfast is ready." Pete the house elf bowed slightly to Katrina, waking the girl from her contemplation.

   "Wait a minute, I'll call them."

  Katrina got up and walked towards the second floor, raised her hand and knocked on the door of Isobel's room. When she heard no response, she pushed the door open and went in.

   There was no one in Isobel's room, but there was a wooden door on the ground in front of the bed. Katrina reached out and pushed open the wooden door in front of her, and murmured, "Sister, how many things are you hiding from me?"

Behind the door is a downward staircase, and when you go down, you will come to a corridor. Katrina walked to a door, raised her hand and gently knocked on the door, and said to the people inside: "Isobel, get up for breakfast .”

The door of the room did not open, but the door next door opened first. Valeria, who was wearing a thin suspender nightgown, came out of the room yawning, and raised her hand to greet Katrina with a smile: " Good morning, Katrina."

"Good morning, Valeria, breakfast is ready." Katrina couldn't help but look at Valeria's beautiful collarbone. She was a little envious of her plump curves. The type that many boys like. Being with three beautiful women in recent days, Katrina has been under a lot of pressure, and she is almost doubting her own charm.

"Good morning."

  The door beside him was also opened, and Isobel, who was still a little sleepy, came out from inside.

  At this moment, she has put on the beige dress she usually wears, looking pure and intellectual.

   "Did you stay up late last night?" Katrina couldn't help asking when she noticed that Isobel's face was still a little sleepy.

   Lack of sleep is the natural enemy of women, and Isobel has always paid attention to maintaining her beauty, so she would take the risk of staying up late?

   "We did some research with roselle last night, trying to make it into a beauty potion." Isobel covered a yawn. In fact, she didn't want to stay up late yesterday, but Valeria and Catherine, who were overly excited, pulled her to stay up late together, which caused her lack of sleep today.

   "How did it turn out?" Katrina asked curiously. In fact, she has been paying attention to this matter all the time, and she herself is also a beneficiary of those beauty potions.

   "Not ideal." Isobel shook his head and said.

"Don't listen to your sister's nonsense, the effect of beauty potion No. 17 is actually not bad." Catherine came out of the room, and she had already put on her usual cool summer dress, "It just didn't meet Isobel's expectations. effect."

   "Adding lemon slices, rose petals and honey to roselle tea can also have a beauty effect." Valeria said with a smile, "and the taste is very good, it will give you a taste of love."

   "Stop messing around, you haven't even been in love yourself, do you know what it's like to be in love?" Catherine reached out and patted Valeria's shoulder, telling her to go back to her room and change her clothes.

   "Secret love is also love." Valeria pouted and turned into the room.

"What cosmetic effects do you want?" Katrina became even more curious. She actually knew that Isobel had been researching cosmetic potions, and had collected a large number of cosmetic potion formulas for reference, improvement, and research, and had achieved considerable results. Fantastic results.

   It is said that Catherine and Valeria opened a beauty shop, and the business is quite booming.

   It's just that none of those results seemed to satisfy the beauties in front of me.

   "Delay aging." Catherine said without thinking, "Let my face not get old and stay young forever."

   "Is this kind of thing really possible?" Katrina felt that they were a little crazy in order to make themselves beautiful.

   "There are elixirs of life, why can't there be elixirs of beauty?" Valeria's faint voice came from the room.

"Maybe, you should go to Albert for help. He should be considered an expert in this field. Moreover, I remember that his teacher is Mr. Nicole Flamel, and he may be able to provide you with some useful help." Katrina suggested. Although she didn't know the reason, she always felt that if anyone could invent that magical potion, it could only be Albert.

   "Nicole Flamel, is that Nicole Flamel?" Valeria pushed the door out, staring at Isobel with bright eyes.

   "Yes. However, the LeMays don't have much research on beauty potions." Isobel glanced at his sister, and changed the subject, "Okay, don't stand here talking, let's all go to breakfast!"

Isobel didn't dare to let Valeria and Catherine know that Albert had already researched the prototype of a potion formula that could delay aging, especially when the production of that potion could not be determined. They knew that it was undoubtedly a disaster. In order to keep themselves young, the two in front of them might even do anything for it.

  At least, Isobel will never overestimate Valeria's integrity.

"The witness you are talking about is Mr. Nicole Flamel, right? However, I heard that the Philosopher's Stone seems to have been destroyed." Catherine suddenly understood what other reasons Isobel said .

  After losing the Philosopher's Stone, Nicole Flamel may not have much time left. If they want the old man to be their witness, they can't delay for too long.

   "Well, the Philosopher's Stone has been destroyed." Isobel didn't deny it, but he didn't really want to talk about it, so he changed the subject and asked, "When do you plan to go to the World Cup?"

"The U.S. team has struggled in recent years, and this time it was hard to squeeze into the top 16. I plan to go there to cheer for them. I happen to have a friend I know in that team." Catherine said: "We plan to Make a reservation for tomorrow's campsite, by the way, when will you go to the football game."

   "We will probably watch the last few games. Albert didn't particularly support any team." In fact, Isobel didn't particularly support any team.

"At that time, you can live in a tent with us, so you don't have to look for another camp, and it will be more convenient to discuss the beauty potion together." Valeria said with a smile, "You mean Catherine, At that time, there will be house elves helping us prepare three meals."

"We'll talk about it later. I don't know what Albert has planned. He seems to be planning to take his younger sister to the football game." Isobel didn't plan to live with them, and there would be four of them at that time, so they definitely wouldn't be able to squeeze in of.

   Katrina, who had been eating in silence, suddenly felt as if she heard something incredible.

  The so-called borrowed house elves, from Valeria's tone, the house elves will obviously join them in the Quidditch World Cup, why does it sound like Albert's?

   But isn’t Albert a Muggle wizard?

   Sure enough, there is some secret that I don't know.

  The woman's intuition told Katrina that both Valeria and Catherine seemed to have other ideas about Albert.

   Is this considered to have led wolves into the house, or did the few of them directly have an unclear relationship?

  She secretly looked at the three people who were talking, wondering if she should find an opportunity to chat with Isobel, she felt that her sister was so shrewd, it was impossible not to notice this.
