Daily Life at Hogwarts Chapter 1143: Colluding

Dusk.

Just after jogging, Katrina, breathing well, was sitting on the swing in the corner of the courtyard to rest. She looked up at the sunset in the sky, then looked back at the flowerbed in the courtyard, and let her body sway slightly with the swing , I don't know what I'm thinking.

Ever since Isobel and Albert started their post-wedding trips, the home has been empty, except for her and her mother.

Although she has a house-elves to help with everything, her life is very good, she can do what she likes every day, and she doesn't need to be afraid like the wizards outside, but Katrina is still a little tired of this kind of boring. Life.

Actually, she also knew that it was very stupid, even a bit slutty, to have such an idea.

It's very unsafe outside. Even if the Ministry of Magic is forcefully suppressing the Death Eaters, those vicious guys still come out to make troubles from time to time, not to mention that she is easily targeted by the Death Eaters because of Albert's relationship. superior.

Actually, it is undoubtedly a very lucky thing to be able to stay here and be a rice bug, and survive the current turbulent period, but...

"It seems that you are still too busy."

Mrs. McDougall's voice interrupts Katrina's thoughts.

"Didn't I help you compile that book every day?" Katrina raised her head and protested to her mother in dissatisfaction.

"Tell me something."

Mrs. McDougall ignored Katrina's complaint and said suddenly.

"What's the matter?"

Katrina is impatient, she always thinks it's not going to be a good thing.

"I'm going to give you all the Galleons I earned after that book was published," Mrs. McDougall said flatly.

"Here, why?" Katrina was skeptical. "And, are you sure that book will sell?"

"Give you start-up capital." Mrs. McDougall is confident that her book will sell well, "Isobel has Albert to take care of them, and they don't need this money at all, and you just graduated and need I have some money on hand."

"Oh well, you're right, I do need a little Galleon."

Katrina didn't have much of a mental burden to get the money, she'd been helping with that book all the time and never expected to make that many Galleons, it was Albert from the start Worry about what they are too busy to find.

"So, the rest of the editing is up to you." Mrs. McDougall nodded with satisfaction, "Don't worry, I'll be in charge of watching."

"Are you sure you're not joking?"

Katrina's eyes widened. She suspected that her mother just thought she was too idle and deliberately found something to do for her.

"You don't want to open a beauty shop, you must have some start-up capital." Mrs. McDougall stared at her worried daughter, "That's it, or do you want to rely on Albert? Although I think Albert probably won't care about helping you, but is this really good?"

Katrina fell silent.

Although she did think about opening a beauty shop, she really hadn't considered the issue of Kanon. According to the original plan, she should open a beauty shop with everyone.

"Even if you don't want to open a store, you still need some savings of your own, and it's not a good idea to always rely on others!" Mrs. McDougall reminded, "Don't forget, we don't know how long we'll be here, don't I wasted my precious life in vain."

"You still think I'm too busy." Katrina was extremely depressed. "There is also a meaning in life, not just making money."

"We didn't publish this book just to make money," Mrs. McDougall corrected. "There will be times in the near future when people will need it."

"You just believe him."

Katrina actually wanted to say something more, but in the end it turned into a helpless sigh.

"With a job, it's not easy to think about it." Mrs. McDougall sat on the swing next to her.

"I'm not cranky."

Katrina didn't bother to argue with Mrs. McDougall, she reached out and touched the fat cat, which was lying firmly on the swing, and asked, "Are they back?"

"Not yet..." Mrs. McDougall sighed softly and asked, "Have you read the book I gave you?"

"It's not me who is pregnant." Katrina was even more depressed.

"Isobel needs your attention," reminded Mrs. McDougall.

"I don't think Isobel needs my care. She doesn't need others to take care of her since she was a child." Katrina curled her lips, feeling some indescribable feeling in her heart.

"She's your sister," reminded Mrs. McDougall.

"I know what you mean."

"You've grown up, and I don't want to nag you all the time." Mrs. McDougall glanced at her daughter and continued, "Think about it, and talk to Isobel when you have time, they I should be back tonight."

Katrina didn't say anything, she got up from the swing, picked up the fat cat that was still lying and yawning, put it on the ground, and walked to the bathroom alone.

"Alas, worry-free fellow." Mrs. McDougall shook her head.

Because I said hello in advance, today's dinner is extraordinarily rich.

While the house-elves brought the sumptuous food to the table, the door of the dining room was pushed open, and Albert and Isobel in slouchy home clothes walked in.

"Welcome home."

Katrina stepped forward to give Isobel a warm hug, and after kissing the other person's cheek, she pulled her to the seat next to her.

"Not so exaggerated."

Isobel felt a little amused, watching Tom excitedly rubbing his head against Albert's ankle.

"Long time no see Tom." Albert squatted down and touched the excited fat cat's head, picked it up again and shook the weight, and said with a smile, "I'm fat again."

"Okay, let's eat first." Mrs. McDougall greeted with a smile.

Dinner is very strange, fried dumplings, mixed fish soup, Italian fried noodles, beef stew with potatoes... There is a feeling of bringing together the delicacies of various countries.

During dinner, several people chatted about travel after marriage.

Mrs. McDougall was a little surprised that they had gone on a post-wedding trip by sea.

"So you're actually hiding under the sea for your honeymoon?" Katrina couldn't understand what they were thinking.

"It's supposed to be on the boat," Albert corrected.

Katrina didn't pay attention to Albert's words. She ate the food on the plate and secretly looked at her sister, always feeling that Isobel was more beautiful than before.

"Are you sure?" Mrs. McDougall asked. "I'll check it out for you later."

"Well, I actually checked."

Isobel was a little embarrassed when she remembered the scene where she and Albert went to the Muggle pharmacy to buy something.

"It still has to be checked again, and there are some things that should be paid special attention to after pregnancy." After dinner, Mrs. McDougall took Isobel to the specially vacated medical room.

"Is there any problem here at home?" Albert asked as he picked up Tom.

"No, it's just boring to stay at home all the time." Katrina glanced at Albert, who was playing with the cat, and said calmly, "The cat is lazy, I can't make it move."

"It doesn't matter, Tom is like this, there is no need to force it." Albert didn't care about this, and continued to ask, "What about the British wizarding world?"

"I've kept all the more important news papers for you. They're all here." Katrina walked to the cabinet, took out a stack of newspapers and placed it in front of Albert, recalling: "Skelin Jay has been sentenced to death by dark wizards recently, and the fact that he fined Death Eaters has been exposed, and his reputation in the wizarding world is polarized."

"The effect is not bad." Albert was not too surprised by this, and Scrimgeour's actions undoubtedly offended some purebloods.

If Scrimgeour hadn't known in advance that he was likely to die in office, Scrimgeour probably wouldn't have been so extreme.

Unfortunately, someone stepped in.

"Most of the dark wizards are in hiding and don't dare to come out to make trouble, for fear of being caught and sent to trial." Katrina suspects that Scrimgeour's aggressive practices are related to Albert, "However, food The Dead Apostles are still active, and they have burned Scrimgeour's home in retaliation."

"Also, your Self-Defense Guide is a big seller and is expected to be the best-selling book of the year." Katrina pointed to the new Self-Defense Guide on the table and said, "The Ministry of Magic is looking for someone to Part of your original copy has been deleted, and the sold Galleons are still yours, um, the main reason is that the Ministry of Magic gives everyone a discount coupon, which can get half of the subsidy, and almost all families are willing to spend 1 Galleon to buy a copy."

"Very clever, isn't it?" Albert said softly, "No matter how much the Ministry of Magic subsidizes, it's only a thousand Galleons, and Scrimgeour can get a lot of supporters because of it If you can have a good relationship with me, why not do it?"

"Isn't this your idea?" Katrina looked at Albert suspiciously. No wonder she thought that, because Scrimgeour did enact a lot of policies in Albert's favor.

"Why do you say that?" Albert asked rhetorically.

"The Ministry of Magic has also set up a Defence Against the Dark Arts item store, which is said to allow everyone to buy qualified Defence Against the Dark Arts items." Katrina pointed to a newspaper on the table and said, "Of course, there are people Think it's a Weasley family plot to try to monopolize Defence Against the Dark Arts items."

"It seems that there are a lot of jealous people!" Albert was not too surprised, because it was too profitable.

"I think it's normal for someone to think like that. Who made the store right next door and sells all your store's products?" Katrina dared to pat her chest and assured that this matter was definitely related to Albert , no matter how you look at it, it looks like Albert found a bodyguard for his shop.

"That's actually pretty clever."

Albert begins to read the newspaper about the Defence Against the Dark Arts item store.

"It's really smart." Katrina nodded and analyzed, "Scrimgeour does that really attract a lot of people."

"To win over Arthur Weasley and his Order of the Phoenix, to win over Harry Potter, and to win over a genius like you, and to solve the problem of the inferior Defense Against the Dark Arts items flooding the market, let Everyone can buy safe and reliable Defence Against the Dark Arts items, and they can also be brought under the supervision of the Ministry of Magic, which can save a lot of money for the Ministry of Magic...and solve the security problem of Diagon Alley by the way."

"And the Ministry of Magic needs to do just a few employees, so that everyone can see Scrimgeour's determination to fight dark wizards and protect everyone's lives."

"By the way, not long ago, Harry Potter also publicly supported Scrimgeour's fight against the dark wizards." Katrina sighed softly, "It seems that our new minister is very powerful and full of vigor. , a while ago every day I could see which dark wizard was sentenced to death again."

"Well, it's really powerful." Albert also sighed with emotion, "If it were someone else, I would still have a headache and how should I wipe Fudge's ass!"

"Next, are you going to...hide here all the time?" Katrina never thought Albert was a quiet guy.

"Is there a problem?" Albert asked rhetorically.

"I thought you were going to fight You-Know-Who through the Ministry of Magic."

"It's not my job to fight You-Know-Who." Albert put down the newspaper and said calmly, "Scrimgeour won't tolerate an outsider pointing fingers, so why make himself uncomfortable?"

This is a disguised admission of Scrimgeour's relationship.

The two put it bluntly, they just use each other to get what they need.

While Scrimgeour has changed a lot under Albert's influence, he has little time.

After Dumbledore's death, Scrimgeour will not be far away.

This is undoubtedly a very cruel reality~IndoMTL.com~ Of course, Albert has a way to save Scrimgeour, but he doesn't think the other party will want to do that.

"If you want to say something, just say it!" Albert said, looking at Katrina who was hesitant to speak.

"Nothing." Katrina shook her head.

"By the way, I'm going to go out. You can tell Isobel later." Before leaving the living room, Albert suddenly turned to Katrina and instructed.

"You really can't be idle?" Katrina frowned and said, "You just got back and are going out?"

"Well, I have something to deal with and will be back soon." Albert began to prepare for his trip.

When Albert came to the entrance under Katrina's gaze, a familiar voice suddenly sounded in his ears.

"Honey, where are you going?" Isobel looked at Albert, who was about to leave, dissatisfied.

"I have to look at the shop over Diagon Alley. Fred, George and Lee Jordan have probably scolded me countless times in their hearts." Albert turned and walked to Isobel next to her, he kissed her cheek.

Looking at the reopened wooden door, Katrina looked sideways at her sister, "If you don't want him to run around, you should tell him directly."

"How does it feel to be at home?" Isobel looked back at his sister and asked back.

"It's not good, it's boring, and..." Katrina was interrupted by Isobel before she could finish her words.

"We haven't chatted together for a long time, go to your room!" Isobel suddenly suggested.

"Chat? Oh, okay!" Katrina looked a little complicated, and finally walked helplessly to her room.
