Study Days at Hogwarts

  Chapter 993 Wizard Lookout Station

  Tomorrow I can finally go to Hogwarts.

  Just after packing her luggage, Katrina, who closed the suitcase, couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief.

Although the life here is good, being caught between Isobel and Albert makes her feel uncomfortable. She hates the feeling that she is completely superfluous, and even more hates seeing the two in front of her Showing affection always makes her feel embarrassed.

   Fortunately, I can finally go to Hogwarts tomorrow, and I can finally get rid of all this.

   At this time, there was a knock on the door of the room, and the voice of the house elf Kara came from outside the door.

   "Miss Katrina, dinner is ready."

  She remembered that the house elf was always called Mistress Isobel, and neither of them was married yet.

   You don't need to think about it, it must be Albert who asked you to do this.

   Coming out of the room, Katrina came to the restaurant along the long corridor, looked at the sumptuous meal on the table, and looked up at Isobel: "Today's dinner is really sumptuous."

   "You guys are going to school tomorrow, so naturally you have to eat a lot tonight." Isobel helped put the dinner on the table.

   "Can I send some food to Mom?"

   "Mom is also taken care of by house elves." Isobel said happily, "You don't have to worry about her daily life."

   "We are going to Hogwarts tomorrow, will you still live here?" Katrina sat down at the dining table, picked up a knife and fork and asked, "By the way, where is that guy?"

   "It seems that something has gone out, and it should be back soon."

  Isobel looked at his sister and said gently: "I will move to Hogsmeade Village, there is a similar safe house over there, where I used to live."

   "Hogsmeade?" Katrina was surprised, "He often visits you?"

   "Yes." Isobel responded.

   "No wonder you don't feel bored, and you still have time to publish a book with him."

  Katrina was amazed at Albert's wrists. She felt that it would take a lot of thought and money to arrange such a place.

   "However, he is always busy." Isobel looked at his sister and said, "Actually, you can also help him."

   "Busy, busy saving the world?" Katrina laughed at herself.

   "Not really, Albert had anticipated the coming turmoil very early." Isobel glanced at his communication watch, and continued: "He's just been preparing to tide over the current difficulties."

   "I thought he would take you directly out of England and go abroad to hide from the disaster." Katrina put down her fork, followed Isobel and waited for Albert to come back.

   "Actually, I hope he does that." Isobel said suddenly.

   There was an eerie silence in the hall.

  Katrina looked at Isobel and asked with a strange expression, "You didn't convince him?"

   "If the situation gets out of control, Albert will take us out of the UK." Isobel shook his head and said, "He has already arranged the way out."

   "You have changed a lot in the past few years." Katrina sighed.

   At this time, there was a noise outside, it should be Albert who came back.

   "What did you do?" Katrina turned her head and asked. "Everyone is waiting for you!"

   "Sorry, I asked you to wait for me." Albert kissed Isobel's cheek and said.

   "Then sit down and eat. The food is almost cold. I remember you don't like cold food." Katrina said angrily.

   "You don't need to get up too early tomorrow. We will apparate directly to the train station before the train leaves." Albert put a large piece of breaded crab on the plate, explaining tomorrow's itinerary while eating.

   "You are really cautious." Katrina asked suspiciously, "Do you think someone will launch an attack at the station?"

   "You still have to be careful on the way, God knows if the Death Eaters will stop the train halfway?"

   Albert actually wanted to go straight to Hogwarts if he could, but as the head of the student union, he needed to show his face in the prefect's carriage.

  Albert really doesn't care about this position, but he needs to consider Professor McGonagall who gave him this position.

   "The Death Eaters would do that?" Katrina was reluctant to believe that the Death Eaters would do such a stupid thing.

"Although the possibility is very small, I still have to be prepared. God knows if the Death Eaters will do some crazy things." Albert said to himself, "If I am a Death Eater and want to assassinate A certain student on the train will pretend to be a salesperson of the cart, and when the cart is close to the target, when the other party is unsuspecting to buy something, he will draw out his wand and cast the Avada Kedavra curse on that person, and then Apparated away while everyone panicked."

   "You are really insidious." Katrina pouted, but she also had to admit that Albert's insidious plan had a very high probability of success.

   Yes, hard to guard against.

   "It's always right to be cautious, there is no shortage of smart people in this world."

   After finishing speaking, Albert looked at Isobel, who immediately understood and began to tell the two about the work of the student union chairman.

  Compared to Katrina, who is serious about performing her duties as a prefect, Albert, who is mostly fishing in troubled waters, obviously needs to hear these things.

   "By the way, who is in charge of this year's Defense Against the Dark Arts class?" Katrina asked after Isobel finished speaking.

   "Unfortunately, this year's Defense Against the Dark Arts is probably over."

Albert put down the knife and fork, took out a handkerchief to wipe the corners of his mouth, and said, "This year's Defense Against the Dark Arts professor is Umbridge. He is the Senior Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Magic. The textbook is "Defense Against Magic Theory". Dobby bought it back."

   ""Defense Against Magic Theory"?" Katrina repeated suspiciously. From the title of the book, she knew why Albert said that this year's Defense Against the Dark Arts was probably finished.

"You guessed it right, it is said that the "Magic Defense Theory" does not encourage the use of any offensive defensive magic." Albert's flat tone showed contempt and disdain, "Umbridge is not a qualified professor, so Don't have any expectations, I think Deputy Minister Umbridge will probably take that book and read the contents like Lockhart did."

   "It's terrible." Katrina muttered, "I'm a little worried about N.E.w.Ts' Defense Against the Dark Arts grades."

  She also wants to get good grades like Isobel.

"Your defense against the black arts is not bad, just ask Albert to make up for you." Isobel comforted, "Of course, you can also come to me. Although I am not as good as Albert, let It’s okay if you do well in the exam.”

  Isobel had special training for revenge before, and Albert taught her a lot of things later, so that even if she encounters Death Eaters, she can easily escape unscathed.

"This matter needs to be kept secret. I don't want a bunch of people coming to me to make up lessons." Albert agreed, and he thought for a while and said, "I need you to help me study "Magic Defense Theory". Everyone take turns asking Umbridge questions."

   "You...are really bad."

   "I have to have some fun for her, and test the teaching standards of the Ministry of Magic by the way." Albert said with a smile, "Actually, Dumbledore and I couldn't apply for this class, but it was a pity that we were declined."

   "You seem to hate Umbridge?" Isobel was surprised that Albert would show obvious dislike for someone.

"He is indeed a very annoying guy." Albert waved his wand, and conjured a piece of parchment out of thin air. When he reached out to catch the parchment, the parchment became two, and he handed it to Iraq respectively. Zebel and Katrina.

   Umbridge's deeds were read in detail on the parchment.

   "I see, no wonder you hate him."

  Isobel did know some things, such as the warning letter that violated the "Secrecy Act", such as the loss of the title of Wizengamot youth representative.

   I just didn't expect Albert to get such detailed information.

  Katrina was taken aback after reading it. She didn't expect such a shameless guy to exist. What surprised her the most was that this person actually sent dementors to attack Harry Potter.

   "Although there is no evidence, she should have done it." Albert nodded. "The purpose should be to please Fudge. In fact, she became the deputy minister because of this."

   "It's disgusting." Katrina hated Umbridge too.

"Some of her actions are actually right. Otherwise, why do you think she climbed to a high position? Political struggles are so cruel." Albert took out his pocket watch to check the time, turned on the radio, and tuned to the wizard lookout station. Sirius' voice came out:

  Welcome to Wizard's Watch.

  The topic of this issue is the new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor at Hogwarts that everyone is very concerned about.

Anyone who has studied at Hogwarts knows that Hogwarts needs to change the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor every year...Let us welcome today's guest, Professor Lupine, who was a professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts at Hogwarts, and Mu Professor Di...

  The comments of Sirius, Lupine and Mad-Eye Moody on "Defense Against Magic Theory" came out on the radio...

   "I dare say that when Umbridge is in class, he will only read that book to everyone. This book can't teach you much useful knowledge. It is only suitable as an extracurricular reading to supplement your knowledge reserve..."

   "I completely agree, I just spent some time looking through this thing, and what I saw is that everyone is discouraged from using any offensive defensive magic."

  “…As an Auror, I can clearly tell everyone that this is as if you are telling a black wizard that you don’t do that. It is illegal to use black magic…”

  “…In that case, it’s better to teach everyone how to use it. If you have any doubts about this, just read the book yourself!”

  …

  Lupine also predicted that many students might not learn useful knowledge about Defense Against the Dark Arts if it was taught as Umbridge did.

  …

  “…I completely agree with Professor Lupin’s judgment. I think time will tell, but the only ones who are really unlucky are the fifth and seventh graders, and their admission to higher education will be seriously affected.”

  …

   "As far as I know, although Professor Lupine is a werewolf, he is indeed the most popular Defense Against the Dark Arts professor in recent years. I'm right!"

   "Yes, although everyone was shocked when they finally learned the truth, Professor Lupine is still very popular at Hogwarts."

  Fred and George also became guests and participated in this broadcast. Even though their voices changed and they used aliases, Albert still recognized their voices.

  The two are telling everyone about the tragic experience of the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor from the first grade to the sixth grade.

  …

   "Finally, I wish everyone to send silent blessings to Professor Dolores Umbridge, and hope that she can successfully finish teaching the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor for this year, and will not be persecuted by the curse again."

  The atmosphere in the hall became weird, and the McDougal sisters all turned their heads to look at Albert. They suspected that Albert deliberately made today's broadcast.

   At least part of the introduction to Dolores Umbridge can be seen on the parchment just now.

   "Don't you think these broadcasts are useful?" Albert's mouth slightly raised, "At least everyone understands the current situation."

   "If Umbridge hears, I think she will go crazy!" Katrina suspected that Albert was planning to make trouble.

   "I don't think she will know, even if she does, it doesn't matter." Albert didn't care much about Umbridge, anyway, after arriving at school, there would be a bunch of people playing with Umbridge.

  After turning off the radio, several people went back to pack their luggage. Although the house elf was willing to do it for him, Albert still didn't have that habit. There were many important things in the suitcase.

As for Isobel's moving to Hogsmeade, there wasn't much trouble. The only thing that made Albert a little helpless is that Isobel now devotes most of his energy to researching beauty potions, and obviously cares about himself. young face.

   It can only be said that women are paranoid about their appearance, and the more beautiful the woman, the more this is the case, even the two Americans are like this.

  Especially after it was suspected that there was a potion to delay aging, they put a lot of energy into it.

  However, genius is no match for cheating.

  After Albert repeatedly promised to help with research afterwards, Isobel picked up the half-written Defense Against the Dark Arts manuscript again.

   "How long do you think this chaos will last?"

   Isobel, who was soaking in the hot spring pool, turned to ask Albert behind him.

  In the end, Katrina was too embarrassed to take a bath with them, and when Albert came to take a bath, she got up and left in a hurry.

   "Up to three or four years." Albert speculated, "If it's not over by then, I'll take you out of the UK."

   "Do you think people can really look forever?" Isobel asked.

   "It's possible, after all, immortality exists." It was not the first time Albert answered this question, "I don't care."

"Lie, men always like young and beautiful women." Isobel snorted dissatisfiedly, raised his hand and poked Albert's chest and said, "Besides, I believe this research will be welcomed by girls, I have already Agreed to the plan to open a beauty shop in the UK."

   "Are you opening a shop with Katrina?" Albert was a little surprised.

   "Of course not, I can also find help." Isobel pouted, "We plan to gather everyone's strength to advance this big project."

   "At that time, I can be your potion consultant." Albert said with a smile, "However, before that, we have to solve the big trouble at the moment."
