Daily Life at Hogwarts Chapter 677: I want money
On their last night in France, the Lemays asked the house-elves to prepare a sumptuous dinner full of their favorites.
During the meal, Mrs. Perenal talked about her school days. It is said that Mr. Lemay was a shy boy who liked books at that time...
Isobel also talked about the story of the relationship between the two. Compared with Mr. Nico, who was shy when he was young, Albert was just... Anyway, the dinner ended with a burst of laughter.
The next morning, after saying goodbye to the Lemays, Albert and Isobel passed the fireplace in the village of Nicolas and headed to the Rue des Wizards in Paris, France.
They had already greeted Mr. Kenner in advance, and the two soon made their way back to their old London apartment quietly through a hidden international Floo network.
"Fortunately I didn't eat anything in the morning."
As he came out of the fireplace, Albert reached out to help Isobel, who also fell to the ground.
"I hate this feeling!"
The two stayed in the dusty room for a while, and after they had calmed down, Albert took out the invisibility cloak prepared in advance from the non-marking stretch bag, put it on his body and quietly left the old apartment.
The point of underage wizards casting spells outside of schools without being detected by the Ministry of Magic is: not to use magic outside the wizarding world.
Because in the wizarding world, the Ministry of Magic has no way of knowing if you are actually using magic.
In addition, it is forbidden for underage wizards to cast spells outside the school. The main reason is that underage wizards are not expected to use magic indiscriminately, which will lead to the exposure of the magical world.
Albert doesn't want to be troubled by the Ministry of Magic, so he's been very mindful of this.
They found a remote and uninhabited place, took off the invisibility cloak covering them, stopped a taxi halfway, and went to the Leaky Cauldron with Isobel.
"How do you feel?"
Get off the car next to the bookstore. After Albert paid, he asked the girl beside him with a smile.
"How does it feel?"
"Using Muggle transportation."
"Muggles can do well without using magic."
After entering the Leaky Cauldron, Isobel asked Albert, who took out his pocket watch: "What time is it?"
"Half an hour from the appointed time!" Albert tucked the pocket watch back into his pocket and looked around for Katrina, who had come to join them.
"She hasn't come yet, what do you want for breakfast?"
Albert pointed to the empty seat next to him, ready to eat while waiting. Because of the use of the transnational Floo network, the two did not eat anything in the morning.
"Same as you." Isobel looked at the wanted list on the wall, recalling Albert's prophecy, and couldn't help frowning.
Blake's wanted list worth ten thousand is posted all over the Leaky Cauldron. Any wizard who can provide information to the Ministry of Magic will also receive a bonus.
It was the Ministry of Magic who caught Black earlier.
As we all know, it is better to count on the Ministry of Magic to catch Black than to count on Black to go to prison on his own.
"It's about Potter"
"Probably... about."
Albert went to the counter and asked Tom to make two breakfasts for the two of them. While inquiring about Black with Tom, Albert saw Harry Potter coming downstairs.
The savior had a look of surprise on his face when he saw him.
"Harry Potter, why are you here?" Albert asked knowingly.
"Mr. Potter lives here temporarily," Tom said with a smile.
"Oh, live here?" repeated Albert, "break up with relatives?"
Harry nodded in embarrassment, seeming puzzled, as if to say you didn't know.
"I just came back from France. It seems that a lot of things have happened during this time." Albert pointed to the wanted list on the wall, "Is there any news about Blake now?"
"No." Tom shook his head. "The Ministry of Magic has been unreliable in this regard. They didn't even find Black when they released the Dementors."
"Tom, do you think I can get money for my clues?"
"Do you know where Blake is?"
"I don't know."
"He's divination," Harry explained, noticing Tom's stunned expression.
"If the Ministry of Magic is willing to pay," said Albert, smiling.
"You want money," Harry muttered. "It'd be nice if you could make a fortune though. With what you can..."
"I don't do thankless things, and it's hard to say whether the Ministry of Magic will pay the money." Albert shrugged. "Oh, my breakfast is here, see you at school."
He goes back to Isobel's side and starts to eat breakfast, passing on what he has heard from Tom.
"Divination, that thing is not reliable." Tom muttered.
"He's great and never makes a mistake."
Harry knows Albert's greatness, and thinks that Fudge should spend a little bit of Galleon to find him for divination, the connection fee can be saved, and there is no need to waste human resources looking for Black,
Harry looked suspiciously at the seats of Albert and Isobel, as if hesitating if he wanted to go over and join them, rarely met an acquaintance, and the black dog and the omen of death, He wanted to hear what the other side had to say.
Just as Harry was about to lift his foot, he stopped again and dismissed the thought.
There was a beautiful red-haired girl standing by the seat, staring at the two people who were eating at the table with a strange look. I don't know what was going on, but I always felt that the atmosphere there was a bit weird.
"To you."
Katrina gives Albert the school list.
"Here, we bought you a present." Albert took the book list, took the gift box from the seamless stretch bag and handed it to Katrina.
"This is our gift for you."
Actually, when the two decided to go shopping in Diagon Alley when they got back, Albert asked the house-elves to buy them at the Taifan clothing store.
Since you are going to go shopping together, it is still necessary to bring a gift for your aunt.
Katrina froze for a moment, stared at the package for a long time~IndoMTL.com~ and then looked at Albert with a look that seemed to say, "Are you going to use this to bribe me?"
"Are you alone?" Isobel asked.
"Mom just left, she already gave the money... What's the matter with that ring?" Katrina didn't look at the package, just accidentally caught a glimpse of the silver ring on Albert's left ring finger, Isobel There is a similar ring on the hand.
"The teacher gave it." Albert said calmly.
"This is a welcome gift from Mr. Lemay." Isobel regretted not putting the ring away.
These two guys must be hiding something from themselves!
"Shouldn't you..."
Katrina obviously didn't believe it, she didn't think Isobel would put the ring on the wrong finger, and they both wore the ring in exactly the same position.
"Ahem, won't you open the package and take a look?" Isobel interrupted aloud, "We all think that hat is a good fit for you."
"Have you eaten breakfast? Would you like to have one too?" Albert also changed the subject.
"No, I'm not hungry!" Katrina looked dazed, wondering what she was thinking.
"Let's buy them separately, and I'll buy the books for you." As soon as she sat down, she stood up again, as if she didn't want to stay here any longer.
Albert and Isobel looked at each other, watching Katrina leave.
"Mom probably didn't tell her about us." Isobel sighed.
"If you're worried, do you want to follow along?"
So, the two threw away their half-eaten breakfast and secretly followed Katrina to Diagon Alley.
