Daily Life at Hogwarts Chapter 1044: Ice Christmas

"Goodbye!"

"Aren't you going to take the train with us?"

"I have a more convenient way."

"Okay, it's like what you would do, keep in touch at all times." Lee Jordan dragged his suitcase toward the carriage, preparing to take the Thestral carriage to the train station with a few acquaintances.

"Aren't we leaving school by train?"

Katrina followed Albert into the castle after seeing off some of her friends.

Nowadays, most of the students have taken horse-drawn carriages to the train station, and the once lively castle has become dead silent.

"No, Dobby will send us away."

Albert takes Katrina to the promised empty classroom, where the house-elf Dobby is already waiting for their arrival.

Katrina saw the familiar suitcase and guessed what was going on. She looked sideways at Albert and asked in confusion, "You seem to like having house-elves Apparate. ?"

"Because it's safer, house-elves can Apparate to areas that wizards can't Apparate, such as an area that's been banned from Apparition, which means other wizards can't follow them." Albert Stepping into the suitcase, he explained to Katrina, "Also, even the Ministry of Magic doesn't pay attention to a house-elf. They, not wizards, always despise these hard-working little ones."

"You just say you're afraid of death!" Katrina could understand, she just wasn't used to Albert's excessive vigilance.

"Yes, I really don't want to die." Albert said solemnly, leaving Katrina next to him speechless.

The two waited at the entrance, as the trip was shorter than expected, and the house-elves were in several places where Apparition was prohibited.

Then, arrive at their new temporary home: Nicole Lemay's Safe House in Devon.

The two old men were nearing the end of their lives, so they gave Albert the safe house they had left in the UK.

"This..."

Katrina looked at the open space in front of her, and there was nothing there, she guessed what was going on, turned her head to look at Albert, and asked tentatively, "The Curse of Faithful Loyalty?"

"Yes. This is somewhere in Devon, where the Nicole Lemays used to live." Albert took out a slip of paper and handed it to Katrina.

The latter took the piece of paper and glanced at the content on the piece of paper. After meditating in his heart, he found that an old house with a strong French style suddenly appeared in front of him.

"Don't be stunned, go in!"

After Albert burned the piece of paper, he took the suitcase from Katrina and walked towards the entrance of the house.

Here has been cast with the Faithful Charm, and the keeper is naturally Dumbledore.

Actually, Dumbledore was the keeper of the safe house for the Nicole LeMays, which is one of the reasons why he gave the safe house to Albert.

Even if you don't give it away, in the end, only a few acquaintances can get in. This is the worst part of being protected by the Brave Loyalty Charm. This spell can't be lifted, it can only be inherited, or completely forgotten by people.

"I heard you don't want to come here for Christmas?"

Isobel came out of the hall when she heard the door open, staring at Katrina with hands on hips, I'm not happy written all over her face.

"You know, if you want to get good grades in the final exam, you'd better stay in school to prepare for the exam." Katrina stubbornly argued.

"You can review while you're here, and someone can teach you, and don't you want to spend Christmas with mom?" Isobel stared at Katrina: "Or, you don't want to spend the holidays with us? "

"No, no, I..."

"That's good, come and help decorate the hall!" Isobel dragged Katrina to the hall, and didn't forget to turn around and say to Albert, "Come here too, I can't do it alone."

"Here it is."

"Dobby, help put the suitcase back in the room."

"Ok sir."

Wizards and Muggles like to use a lot of holly, mistletoe and gold and silver ribbons as Christmas decorations, there is a Christmas tree by the fireplace, Isobel is decorating it with ribbons and ornaments , to make it more Christmas atmosphere.

"Are these packages real?"

Katrina is placing Christmas gifts on the table under the tree.

"It's true, Albert receives a bunch of Christmas gifts every year, which are actually relatively few." Isobel used his wand to conjure many sparkling snowflakes and hung them on the tree.

"That's an exaggeration."

"If you give out an exaggerated share of gifts every year, you will naturally receive a lot of gifts in return." Isobel helps prepare the Christmas gifts that Albert sends every year.

"Are we going to spend the Christmas holidays here this year?"

Katrina looked into the fireplace and asked suspiciously, "I've been wondering what the smell is about since just now?"

"It should have something to do with the wood that was burned. The wood here is all left by Mr. Nico, and some of them will have a special smell when burned." Albert turned on the record player, played a brisk tune, and began to help. Decorate the hall.

"That's about it."

The three sat in the hall to rest, enjoying French desserts and black tea served by house-elves, and Muggle Merry Christmas was playing in the hall.

"Why not let the house-elves help decorate?" Katrina has been wanting to ask this since just now.

"I'll find you something to do, so that you won't be too busy, and decorating yourself will make you feel more festive." Isobel said with a smile and swallowed his words.

"I already helped decorate the castle when I was at school." Katrina didn't want to speak, and silently tasted the food. Compared with the food at Hogwarts, Albert was always very particular about food.

She secretly looked at Isobel's figure, and she didn't see any signs of gaining weight, but she was more attractive than before, which was incredible.

"What's wrong?" Isobel asked, looking up.

"You eat so well at home?"

Katrina ate another freshly baked muffin, drank lipstick tea, and lounging on the leather sofa.

"Because I keep exercising every day," Isobel said proudly.

"It's enviable, how's the research on beauty potions?" Katrina asked.

"Have you thought about opening a beauty shop?" Albert asked with a smile.

"No, just ask."

Katrina is indeed a little confused. After graduation, she probably won't be able to go to work, because according to Albert, the first two years after graduation coincided with the most dangerous time in the wizarding world.

"By the way, I recently learned their healing magic from Firenze, maybe you can use it." Albert took a notebook from the deformed lizard skin bag and handed it to Isobel.

"Is this a Christmas present?" Isobel took the notebook and asked Albert's cheek with a smile.

"Yes."

"What's wrong?" Isobel asked in confusion, noticing Katrina's expression.

"Firenze is a centaur from the Forbidden Forest who is now serving as the new divination professor at Hogwarts." Katrina looked away from Albert and reminded, "The centaurs' magic is for sure. Not like us."

"Their healing magic is more of a combination of herbs and magic," said Albert.

"Wizards can use it too."

"I tried and it worked."

"It's incredible."

It turns out that wizards cannot successfully use healing magic like centaurs using only white branches, and the success rate of using wands is also extremely low, requiring the use of extreme healing wands specially made by Albert. It was successful, and all three took turns trying, and in the end only Mrs. McDougall succeeded.

So, under Isobel's resentful gaze, Mrs. McDougall took the notebook.

It took Albert a long time to reassure his girlfriend that night.

Christmas is here in the blink of an eye.

Albert and Isobel woke up very late, and after a sumptuous Christmas lunch, sisters McDougall, at Albert's invitation, built a snowman in the yard and built a room that could accommodate three In the snow house of people, I felt what it was like to drink tea in the snow.

Anyway, they don't have to worry about Christmas dinner, the house-elves will prepare everything.

In the afternoon, Albert took out The Tales of Bedouin the Poet sent by Dumbledore and read it with Isobel, talking about Dumbledore's comments on it, and Katrina went back to his room , presumably not wanting to stay for dog food.

Mrs. McDougall was busy with her work and had to work overtime at Christmas, and didn't rush back until 8pm.

Luckily, they didn't bother with roasting the turkey, otherwise it would have been harder than a rock when it cooled.

After enjoying the freshly baked international cuisine and drinking a glass of eggnog with a Christmas atmosphere, everyone sat on the sofa in the lobby and chatted. Initially, talking about the wedding of Albert and Isobel. After all, Albert's family is not in the UK, but after confirming that the wedding of the two has been helped to prepare, Mrs. McDoug looks a little regretful, but also seems to be She breathed a sigh of relief, because with the list of guests Albert needs to invite, she alone doesn't know what to do.

Later, the topic was led to the healing magic of centaurs. The effect of treating trauma is really good, but wizards don't really need it, because most wizards can't use it at all, and white fresh essence can actually achieve similar effect.

Of course, if you can study it in depth, you may be able to find new discoveries, but its difficulty in using it also limits its upper limit, so Isobel managed to get the notebook back.

"Oh yes, your Defence Against the Dark Arts professor seems to be in some trouble." Mrs McGonagall changed the subject, talking about what happened to Hogwarts today: "She seems to have drunk Toad's compound potion."

"Compound potion?" Katrina blinked curiously. Of course, she had seen the appearance of a toad. She thought it was some kind of transformation curse, but she didn't expect it to be caused by a composite potion.

"Did you tell her about it?" Albert was not surprised that Mrs. McDougall saw the toad's condition.

"No, Madam Pomfrey said it was a skin disease. I think there might be a reason." Madam McGonagall shook her head, "Also, Umbridge is unwilling to go to St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Injuries and Injuries. receiving more formal treatment here is inherently weird.”

"Well, because Umbridge went too far in the school, the teachers and students in the school hated her, and she was retaliated against." Albert explained with a smile.

"You did it?" Katrina asked suspiciously.

"Harry Potter did."

Albert took the blame decisively, and this was indeed done by Harry Potter and his friends.

"It seems that Umbridge has done a lot of bad things." Isobel raised an eyebrow.

"Yeah, the school's education orders are almost over 100." Katrina complained, briefly recounting the terrible things Umbridge had done recently.

"She actually used Veritaserum on the students?" Mrs. McDougall was very surprised by Umbridge's audacity. Once overdose of Veritaserum, it may cause irreversible damage to the user. She suddenly understood why Umbridge had become like that. No wonder Madam Pomfrey hated her so much. The **** she did at school was really hated.

"It's not that bad, actually." Albert smiled, passing a plate of shrimp dumplings through the crowd, "While Umbridge did make Hogwarts a little bit bad, she also It brought a lot of joy and laughter to everyone.”

"She's being turned into a laughing stock by you now~IndoMTL.com~ Katrina dares to say those things are definitely about Albert, "When are you going to kick her out? "

"I've never done anything to her, other people are taking revenge on her." Albert shrugged and changed the subject: "I heard that Arthur Weasley was injured and hospitalized a while ago. ."

"Oh, you said Arthur Weasley, he was bitten by a venomous snake. He is not life-threatening, but we haven't found an antidote to heal the wound completely," recalls Mrs. McDougall. : "Why are you asking this? Is he your friend too?"

"A few days ago, two of my friends were called away in the middle of the night. I think it was because of this." Albert suddenly added, "Phoenix's tears are actually the best antidote."

"That thing is too precious, and there are no phoenixes in St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Injuries and Injuries to offer tears."

Albert took a small vial from the deformed lizard skin bag and placed it in front of Mrs. McDougall, "If you can't find an antidote, give him this."

"This is?"

Mrs. McDougall took the medicine bottle and looked up and down at the pitifully little clear liquid inside, and seemed to have guessed what it was.

"Phoenix Tears."

"Where did you get it." Mrs. McDougall was surprised.

"Professor Dumbledore asked me to turn it over to you," Albert explained. "He's in a bad situation right now, and if he comes forward, it could lead to Arthur Weasley's dismissal from Fudge. Time, you can't find an antidote yet, so use this thing. Well, this thing is actually an antidote."

"It seems that this matter is more complicated than I expected." Mrs. McDougall put away the crystal bottle, and did not intend to delve into the matter.
