Study Days at Hogwarts

  Chapter 986 Cream Puff

   "Did you go out just now?"

  As soon as he got home, Albert was caught by Isobel.

   "Just went out to buy something, don't worry, I used a polypharmacy."

   "Why don't you ask Kara to help you buy it?"

  Isobel felt that Albert was not telling the truth, or only half the truth.

   "Stopped to Hogsmeade Village, and went to get some things from an old friend." Albert stepped forward to give Isobel a hug, but was avoided by the other party.

   "Don't worry, I've always been able to protect myself well."

   "You are becoming more and more fond of lying." Isobel said expressionlessly.

"I am telling the truth."

   Albert was indeed telling the truth, but he didn't finish his sentence.

  He took the bag from the house elf, took out the gift he bought for Isobel, and handed it to his girlfriend with a smile.

   "You're sure to like what I bought you."

"what?"

   After taking the paper bag that Albert handed over, Isobel hesitated for a moment and finally didn't take it out after opening it to look at the contents.

   "Don't like it?" Albert asked back.

   "Don't eat." Isobel said with a straight face, she suspected that Albert wanted to make herself fat.

   "I'll feed you."

   Albert smiled and took out the ice cream from the paper bag, then turned to the house elf behind him and said, "Kara, go find Katrina and tell her that I brought dessert for everyone."

   "Good master."

  After the house-elf put down the bag, he turned and left the hall.

   "Come on, ah!" Albert opened his mouth and said.

   "Don't change the subject." Isobel turned his head to avoid the spoon that Albert handed over.

  However, after Albert tried a few times and promised to exercise with her in the next few days, the girl hesitantly opened her mouth to hold the spoon.

   "How does it taste?" Albert asked with a smile.

   "Try it yourself."

  Isobel took the spoon and gave Albert a spoonful and stuffed it into his mouth.

   "It's quite sweet, and it's very comfortable to eat ice cream in summer."

  The two sat on the sofa, and after playing an intimate game of feeding each other, Albert suddenly asked, "How is your research going?"

"The progress is stuck. I am considering whether to communicate with the United States. They must have their own results. Maybe exchanging results with each other can promote the research progress of youth medicine." Isobel originally wanted to monopolize Albert research results.

  Unfortunately, she found that she couldn't advance the research progress by herself.

   As for Katrina, unfortunately, her potions skills, although good, are not of much help.

Perhaps, if Albert seriously studied the potion of youth, he might be able to progress faster than all of them combined, but Albert is either studying the notes left by Dumbledore and Nicole Flamel recently, or He was making some magic items, obviously he had been preparing for the upcoming turmoil in the magic world, and he didn't seem very interested in the potion of youth that the girls cared about.

   In normal times, Isobel would definitely pull Albert to study together, and ask him to help no matter what method is used. But the turbulent period in the magic world is coming, and Albert is working hard to get through this period safely. She also knows that Albert should not be disturbed now, and sometimes she will even offer to help.

  Albert's energy is limited after all, even with a Time Converter.

   "By the way, next, I plan to make Felicia Potion and Compound Potion, can you find time to help me?" Albert said suddenly.

"I haven't tried Felicia, this thing is more troublesome than expected." Isobel frowned and reminded, "If possible, I suggest you get it from your old friend, anyway, Felicia can't be used too much .”

   "It doesn't matter, I got a note, which can reduce a lot of mistakes." Albert said to Isobel, "I have already got the materials together."

   "That's why you went out?" Isobel guessed the reason.

   "Yes, it is not reliable to ask others to help provide it. I think we should stock up on some Felicity Elixirs." Albert said without thinking, "Sometimes, not only I need luck."

"Okay, but I can't guarantee that it will be successful. In fact, if you cook it yourself, the probability of success may be higher." Isobel is very clear about Albert's level of potion. If he cooks the whole process, he should be able to succeed .

   After all, even Buffy's Brain Refreshing Potion was perfectly prepared.

   "It's okay, it always takes trial and error, and those ingredients can be made into two servings." Albert comforted, "This is for our wedding, I think we all need to be lucky that day."

  Isobel thought for a while, and nodded in agreement with Albert's words.

  In the current situation, having Felicia could indeed ensure a more perfect day.

   At least, don't go wrong.

   "By the way, how is the situation outside? The Daily Prophet is full of reports attacking Professor Dumbledore." Isobel scooped up a spoon and stuffed it into Albert's mouth.

   "As expected, try this." Albert took out a small bread from the paper bag and handed it to Isobel's mouth.

   "What is this?" Isobel's eyes lit up and he asked curiously.

   "Cream puffs." Albert said proudly, "Isn't it delicious?"

   This is the dessert Albert recommended to his cheap uncle.

   No doubt, very popular with girls.

   "It's delicious, you should try it too." Isobel took one from the paper bag and handed it to Albert's mouth.

  After the latter bit it, he pointed at Isobel.

   "Really." Isobel muttered and leaned over. In fact, she doesn't hate these overly intimate actions, and even likes them very much, because it feels like she has just fallen in love.

   "What did you buy?"

  Katrina walked into the hall, just in time to see this scene, the smile on her face quickly turned into a deadpan expression.

   "I bought a lot of sweets that you like, come and taste them too!" Albert was not embarrassed at all, he could only say that his skin was getting thicker.

   "This pastry is very good."

  Isobel recommended cream puffs to his sister, and seemed to intend to use the delicious food to divert the slightly awkward atmosphere around him.

   "Is this a Muggle dessert? I haven't eaten this before." Katrina sighed inwardly, picked up a cream puff, and changed the subject accordingly.

  This is also the reason why she doesn't want to live with them, sometimes it's really embarrassing.

   Fortunately, the cream puff made Katrina feel a little better.

   "Yes, there are indeed more delicacies in the Muggle world than in the wizarding world." Albert took out a box of ice cream from the paper bag and handed it to the other party. "This is ice cream, strawberry flavored. I remember you like this."

   "Muggles really know how to enjoy life better." Katrina has a deep understanding of this during her stay here.

   "I just bought a bunch of ingredients. If you want, you can ask Kara to prepare them for you." Albert thought for a while and then urged, "However, it doesn't matter if you usually eat a little of this thing. If you eat too much, you will easily get fat."

   "I run and do yoga with my sister every day, but you don't do much exercise yourself." Katrina glanced at Albert, stuffed another cream puff into her mouth, and said neither salty nor light.

   "I also exercise every day." Albert shrugged, "I dare say that my body is better than ninety-nine percent of wizards."

   This is actually not a hush, because many wizards actually don't exercise much.

   Just then the house-elf entered the hall.

   "Master, I have news about you."
