Daily Life at Hogwarts Chapter 664: France trip
Chapter 665 French trip
A few days later, Albert visited McDoug's house and picked up Isobel.
"Next, where are we going?" Isobel asked after watching Albert put the suitcase into the bag.
"Diagonal Alley." Albert said without hesitation: "We have to meet Mr. Budd first, who has a private international Floo network that can sneak into France."
"Transnational Floo Network?" Isobel stepped forward and took Albert's arm.
"It's almost ten o'clock, we should go." Albert stuffed the pocket watch into his pocket and used Apparition to leave Isobel's door.
The two appeared in Diagon Alley, and soon found Professor Bud who was chatting with Tom at the bar of the Leaky Cauldron.
"I hope we didn't keep you waiting too long."
Albert stepped forward to greet Professor Bard.
"No, I just arrived."
Bud finished drinking the glass of wine and paid for it, and left the Leaky Cauldron with Albert and Isobel. They walked down the street and came to an old apartment.
"Wizards don't usually focus on the Muggle world, and as long as they don't cause trouble, they don't even notice these problems." Professor Bud led the two into the room and hit an elderly caretaker Saying hello, he led them into a room. The room is already full of dust, as if no one has cleaned it for a long time, but there are a lot of bookshelves.
"What if the apartment is demolished?" Albert asked with a smile.
"No, this apartment is currently hanging under my door, and no one will dismantle it without my consent." Professor Bud opened the bookshelf with pulleys, and said with a smile, "Can you see Have you come out of the hidden room?"
"Well, see, those bookshelves are used to hide traces of magic?" Albert immediately guessed the reason.
"Where's Isobel?"
The girl stared at the wall carefully and touched it with her hands, but she didn't find anything unusual.
"You're progressing faster than I thought." Professor Bard sighed and comforted, "It's normal to not notice the traces of magic, usually only a very small number of superb wizards will notice these details. problem."
"That's not like consolation," Isobel grumbled.
I saw that, Bud raised his wand and tapped the wall three times in a rhythmic manner, whispering something in his mouth.
A door similar to Diagon Alley appeared in front of them out of thin air. When the three pushed the door and walked in, they found themselves in a room filled with blue fire. There were seven fireplaces on the walls of the room, and the countries that the fireplaces led to were marked in English.
"In the beginning, when we created the international Floo network for the Ministry of Magic, we secretly built such a place for ourselves." Professor Budd said calmly. "Some of the Wildsmiths' secrets will gradually become known to you, but these need to be kept secret from the outside world."
"I know it's okay?"
"You are the successor, you know it's fine, but others can't, and you can't say it. Of course, you need a password to open this place, I'll tell you later." With that, Bud took out one from his pocket. Muggle matchbox thrown to Albert, "You should know how to use this!"
"Oh, by the way, Albert is not yet an adult." The girl was stunned for a moment, as if thinking of something, she whispered, "It's really troublesome not to be able to use magic."
Albert took a lot of work to light the firewood in the fireplace.
"Your destination is: 93 Wizard Street." Professor Bud reminded, "Say hello to Mr. Kenner for me."
"I'll go first."
Albert grabbed a handful of Floo powder and threw it into the fireplace, then lifted his foot and stepped into the rising green flames.
After a long spin, Albert felt himself slammed into the fireplace.
"I hate this feeling!"
Spinning for a long time made him dizzy and nauseous.
After Albert got up from the ground, he quickly moved to the vacant seat next to him to make room for Isobel.
The transnational Floo network is indeed very convenient, but there are some sequelae.
Isobel soon fell into the fireplace, having passed the Apparition exam, still unable to cope with the vertigo of a long journey.
"Are you alright!" Albert stretched out his hand to help Isobel, while looking at the surrounding environment, they came to a slightly dim room, perhaps Wild Smith's stronghold in France.
At this time, the door of the room was opened, and an elderly bald wizard came in, looked at the young man and woman in front of him, and said in fluent English: "Welcome to France."
"Mr. Kenner?" Albert asked tentatively.
"Yes, I received news that someone will use the transnational floo network to come here." The elderly wizard Kenner pointed to the sofa next to him and suggested: "You can rest there for a while and use the transnational floo network. The Internet is not a pleasant thing."
"I totally agree."
"Speaking of which, it's been a long time since no one has used this place." The old bald wizard looked at Albert up and down and asked suspiciously, "Are you Bud's grandson?"
"I'm his student." Albert thought for a while and added, "He's my relative."
"Oh, I remember, you're Albert Anderson." The bald wizard muttered, "I didn't expect you to be relatives, and the papers said you were a Muggle wizard, hell, I knew the papers weren't. Reliable."
Waiting for the two of them to recover from their Floo trip, Kenner took them out of the secret room. The entrance to the secret room was a cabinet. back to the original position.
"You can use the Floo network here to travel all over France, take the liberty to ask, where are you going?" Kenner handed Albert the box of Floo powder.
"Nicholas Village!" Albert handed the box of Floo powder to Isobel, and joked with a smile, "Don't call me wrong, if you go missing, I don't know where to look for you. "
Isobel couldn't help rolling her eyes, walked to the fireplace, and threw Floo powder into the flames. After rolling up a green flame in the fireplace, he went straight into the fire, shouted "Nicolas Village" and disappeared.
"It's time for me to go, excuse me!" Albert nodded slightly towards the old man, grabbed the air powder and threw it into the fireplace, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
"What a polite little guy." Kenner put away the air powder and took out a double-sided mirror from his pocket to contact Bud.
Isobel stepped out of the fireplace and was immediately attracted to the town in front of her.
There is a square not far in front of them, with statues of the young Lemays on it.
"Welcome to Nicola Village!" Albert smiled and said to Isobel, "This is a famous wizarding town in France."
"It's pretty good here," Isobel said, looking around.
"Let's go."
Albert took out a silver card from his pocket, glanced at the address on it, and glanced at the street again, then took Isobel's hand and followed the location of Nico's house in memory. past.
When the two of them appeared on the street, no one cast a curious look, which made Albert feel incredible that there were still young men and women who ran over to shake hands with him, saying they were fans of Albert , making him a little embarrassed.
Albert looked at Isobel who was giggling beside him and said angrily: "Stop laughing, keep up!"
The two came to a house, and Albert knocked on the door. After a house elf opened the door, he handed a silver card covered with lines to the house elf.
"Two people, please come in!"
The house elf took the card and opened the hidden door for the two of them.
"No matter how many times you watch ~IndoMTL.com~ it's still amazing." Albert took Isobel's hand and walked into the door.
This hidden door is the real residence of the LeMay couple.
Albert decided to ask Mr. Nicole to learn how to set up a safe house.
"Long time no see, Albert, and this one, I think he must be the Miss Isobel you mentioned!" Nico appeared in front of Albert without warning, and smiled The two entered the entrance.
"The two pairs of glasses last time really helped me a lot!" Albert introduced to Isobel with a smile, "This is Mr. Nicole Lemay, the greatest alchemist in history."
"It's an honor to meet you." Isobel nodded slightly towards Nicole LeMay.
"Oh, don't be so rusty, Perenal is making you your favorite black tea." Nico asked again: "You should have brought your luggage?"
"Bring it," said Albert.
"That's good." Nico nodded with satisfaction, "Then stay here for a while and chat with our two old men. It's been a long time since no guests came."
