Daily Life at Hogwarts Chapter 349: Why are you here
Mrs. Weasley was a little surprised and regretful when she heard that Albert was going back in the evening, and then she enthusiastically added food to Albert five times.
"Mr. Broad?" Mr. Weasley raised his eyebrows slightly.
"Yes, Mr. Bud Broad." Albert didn't hide it, and added: "He used to be a professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts at Hogwarts, and after his resignation, he and I have been writing letters. contact.”
"That one!"
Mr. Weasley looked at Albert in surprise. He also knew Mr. Broad, who was peaceful and well-liked, and was a member of the Wizengamot.
"Then there's no way," said Mr. Weasley regretfully, who liked talking to Albert about Muggle subjects.
Around 7:30 in the evening, Noel, the house elf, knocked on the door of Weasley's house on time, and took Albert to Broad's, the familiar manor.
After entering the manor, Albert met an acquaintance.
"Long time no see." Albert looked at the red-haired girl sitting on the sofa, raised his eyebrows and said, "By the way, you are still here!"
"I've been living here for more than half a month." Isobel looked up at the boy in front of him and said with a smile, "How was your summer vacation?"
"It's okay." Albert was about to sit down beside Isobel when he heard a sharp exclamation from the entrance.
"Why are you here?"
Albert's body froze in place, looking back in the direction of the voice, Katrina was standing at the door with two drinks in her hand.
"Oh, it's you, long time no see, Katrina." Albert greeted another red-haired girl.
"Strange, you were also invited by Uncle Mog?"
Katrina put a cup of iced black tea on the table in front of Isobel, looked up and down Albert, and asked inexplicably.
The atmosphere in the room suddenly became weird, and finally Isobel spoke first to break the silence.
St Mungo's Hospital for Magical Injuries and Injuries seemed to be very busy, and the mother of the two sisters couldn't get away for a while, so Mog McDoug invited the McDoug sisters to the manor for a vacation.
In fact, this manor belongs to the wealth of members of the Wildsmith family, and Mog McDoug can also use it here. The person who invited was actually Isobel, and the one next to him was just incidental.
Of course, Isobel must have known about this, and Katrina was the only one still kept in the dark.
"Well, I was also invited." Albert said casually with a smile, "I won't stay here for too long, I'll probably go back in two days."
"Uncle Mog is looking for you because of the ancient Rune?" Katrina looked at Albert suspiciously, feeling that she had guessed the answer.
Albert wasn't ready to answer, so he picked up the book Isobel pushed over and started to read it. The more he read, the more he felt that the book was a little weird. He couldn't help but raised his eyebrows and quickly read the whole book.
"How is it?" Isobel asked with a smile.
"The last time I came, I didn't notice this book." Albert recalled the things in the book, feeling a little familiar, and didn't know he had seen them there.
"This was given to me by Uncle Mog."
"What are you talking about?" Katrina's eyes wandered between the two, feeling that something must have happened between Albert and Isobel.
"However, this theory is a little out of date now." Albert flipped the book again and murmured, "I feel a little familiar. Well, yes, Chawick's "Magic" seems to be using this theory."
Charwick's magic, of course, refers to the charisma with which he uses his spells.
"What are you talking about, what is Chawick's magic, don't exclude me, okay?" Katrina said a little frantically.
She can understand every word they say, but she can't understand what they're talking about.
""The Magic of Charwick" is a Defense Against the Dark Arts textbook of Ilvermorny College in the United States. It is a bit different from what we are now in terms of magic spells... Forget it, anyway, if you haven't read this part , I certainly don't understand."
Albert was too lazy to explain as he spoke. Even if some things were explained, the other party might not be able to understand.
Compared with the British textbook, the book "The Magic of Charwick" is indeed slightly different. The book teaches students some spellcasting skills. Although this part has been eliminated, it is not suitable for most students. Still very useful.
Katrina was a little pissed, but Albert was right, she really didn't understand, which made her even more depressed.
After that, the two had a tacit chat about some study issues and how to reasonably arrange the time for this semester.
After all, this semester is full of people who will take twelve courses, so I always have to learn something from Isobel to avoid breaking myself down.
A large part of Isobel's words were addressed to Katrina.
Isobel is a genius in her own right, so she doesn't have much pressure to study. Albert, who is open, is also considered to be a genius, and even less stressful to study. The only person who may be stressed is Katrina, who is barely considered a genius. .
After nightfall, Albert separated from the two and saw the house-elf on the way back to his room.
Not long after, he saw Mr. Broad in the study, the old man smiling and waiting for him.
"I thought this manor was a very important place for you." Albert looked at the old man in front of him who was not going to invite him for supper and couldn't help but complain.
"You mean Katrina?" The old man motioned for Albert to sit across from him.
Albert didn't deny it either, sitting down and waiting for the old man's explanation.
"You must know something about the Wild Smith family. Actually, these things shouldn't have been told to you so early." Mr. Broad seemed to be considering his words, speaking very slowly.
"Because we're not heirs yet?"
"Well, it does have something to do with this." Mr. Broad did not deny it.
"There's nothing wrong with saying heirs. However, as you might imagine, we're not inheriting an estate, but a surname," he said with a smile.
"Of course, in a way, it's also a kind of legacy."
"Inheriting a surname?" Albert asked curiously, recalling Isobel's letter ~IndoMTL.com~, "So, I'm qualified?"
"Well, how do you say it?" Mr. Broad thought for a while and said, "In our opinion, you and Isobel are both suitable, at least for now."
"Is this the way it is now?" Albert repeated, "Isn't the inspection period over yet?"
"Usually, we don't tell these things until after you graduate." Mr. Broad said with a smile: "Well, this is an exception."
"You know, Isobel and I don't really care about these things."
"The pride of a genius!" Mr. Broad said with a smile, "Even if you don't inherit that stuff, just get what you want, I understand that, and I used to be like that."
"Of course, if you don't want the surname, Isobel will have to inherit it in the end, and although she doesn't need it, someone needs to inherit it."
"Our job is actually to pick the right person and convince him to take the surname," Professor Broad said. "If you agree, I'll tell you about the ins and outs of this very privately. things."
"Aren't you afraid of me pretending to agree?"
"Don't be afraid, since you are considered suitable by us, naturally you will not do this kind of thing, otherwise you will not be considered suitable."
"It seems that what you call fit refers to many aspects?" Albert raised his eyebrows.
"That's natural. Everyone who is eligible to inherit this surname is chosen by thousands of people."
"Choose from a thousand choices? Do you have so many candidates? Don't think I don't know how many wizards there are in the UK." Albert curled his lips and couldn't help but complain.
