Daily Life at Hogwarts Chapter 699: Secret base

  Chapter 700 Secret Base

   This year's Halloween is a rare occasion for most Hogwarts students. You can go to Hogsmeade Village for a day of fun, and then go to the Halloween feast in the evening, which is simply double the fun.

   For Albert, it is no exception.

   This is the last time to relax before heading to the Magic School Potions Tournament.

   After having breakfast and meeting Isobel in the hall, the two left the castle together and walked towards the school gate.

   Dementors with cloaks on both ends guarded the school gate, making passing students feel fearful and uneasy.

   As soon as he approached the gate, Albert could feel an inexplicable chill coming towards him.

   "Don't worry, I'm here." Albert reached out to hold Isobel's hand, took out his wand from his pocket and summoned the Patronus, turning it into a ball of light, surrounding the two of them, avoiding Dementors affect Isobel.

   His approach attracted many students to look at him curiously. Everyone was very curious about what the ball of light was around Albert and Isobel, but no one came to say hello.

   When passing through the gate, Albert could clearly feel that the two dementors were consciously or unintentionally sucking the happy emotions of the passing students, and they could undoubtedly have a full meal.

   The cold wind was blowing outside, which is the effect of the large number of Dementors on the surroundings of Hogwarts, otherwise the weather would not have become so bad.

   Trekking to Hogsmeade Village was not a pleasant experience, and many students had to wrap their faces in scarves to avoid the cold wind blowing their exposed skin.

  "Appear."

   After a distance from the school, Albert dragged Isobel to a place where no one was around, and put a layer of Disillusionment Charm on his body. Then, use Apparition to get around the village of Hogsmeade.

   "Tracewire is such a big trouble." Albert muttered softly. "However, after having a house here in the future, the use of magic will not be restricted."

  Before the age of seventeen, the only way to get rid of the straitjacket and use magic without being troubled by the magic world was to use magic in the magic world.

  Although the Ministry of Magic will detect when magic is used, they cannot tell who is using magic.

   After all, in the magic world, anyone can use magic around him, and the Ministry of Magic will naturally not trouble Albert.

  "I thought you did research?"

   "Although the power of the contract can be obfuscated and blocked, it's too late. If you had used a powerful Confusion Charm on the piece of paper when you signed it, you should be able to deal with it, but now... it's too late. "Albert stretched out his hand to hold Isobel's little hand and walked towards Hogsmeade village together.

  "Isn't the phantasm spell lifted?"

  "Not for now, let's go and see our house first, Bit should have already helped us take care of it."

  There are no dementors around Hogsmeade Village. Maybe knowing that some students will come to Hogsmeade to play, the Ministry of Magic has removed the dementors from here to prevent something bad from happening.

   After the two entered Hogsmeade Village, they walked to a remote corner in the east of the village.

   That's one of the reasons that house is so cheap.

   There is a small yard outside the house. The plants in the yard are all withered, and the window is lit with warm yellow light. When the two walked in, Albert raised his hand and knocked on the door five times.

   This is the secret code.

  "Master, are you invisible?"

   The house-elf opened the door, staring confusedly at the air ahead.

  "I don't really want people to know this is my house."

   After the door was closed again, Albert released the illusion spell on the two of them.

   The house-elf immediately brought them milk tea and dessert.

   "This place looks good, although it's a bit old, but after a little renovation, it's still a good place." Albert looked at the empty hall and was satisfied, the money was finally not in vain.

   "What are you going to do with this place?" Isobel was more curious about this question, she never thought that Albert would spend money to buy such a place for no reason.

  "Lab." Albert didn't intend to hide it.

  "What are you going to make here?"

   "In the future, even if it's summer vacation, I can come here at any time through the vanishing cabinet." Albert pointed to the suitcase on the table.

  "Disappearing Cabinet?"

   "Yes, the Vanishing Cabinet. That thing was popular during the First Wizarding War."

  Albert opens the suitcase to reveal the descending stairs.

The inside of the    suitcase was expanded by the Traceless Stretching Charm, and inside were two vanishing cabinets.

  "You're well prepared." Isobel said with a weird expression: "If the Ministry of Magic finds out, they'll have to throw you in Azkaban prison."

   "They don't know and won't know." Albert said disapprovingly.

   went back to the hall, and the two of them visited the house together.

   kitchen, study, bedroom, and utility room...

  The house is empty, with only some old furniture left.

  Albert intends to get some new ones from the Muggle side.

   "I still prefer a spacious place." Isobel stood by the bedroom window, looking at the yard below, turning his head to Albert and said, "It's not safe here, once there is chaos in the magic world, you can always May be targeted."

  "They won't find it here, I'll cast the Faithful Charm on this house, and no one will suspect us."

   At the time, it was a house-elf who came forward to buy the house.

   And who would associate a house elf with a Muggle wizard?

   "We always need a place to practice," Albert said mysteriously: "You can also use this as our secret base, and we can meet here at any time in the future and do something we like. "

   "You always like to make things mysterious, maybe this is the common problem of fortune-tellers." Isabel looked at the unconcealed fiery in Albert's eyes, and moved his face up.

   "If the situation is really bad ~IndoMTL.com~ just leave the UK!" she whispered.

  Isobel is not a fool. It is natural to see that Albert is not optimistic about the future prospects. At least there will be a "chaotic period" in the future, and he is actively sitting and preparing for this in order to cope with the possible future. Danger.

   "Don't worry, the situation is not as bad as you imagined." Albert put his face to the girl's ear and comforted softly, "Otherwise, I would have taken you away."

   In the next time, Albert and Isobel discussed the renovation of this moving house in the hall.

   He intends to turn this place into an inner and outer storey. Like Nico's house, he needs the permission of the owner to enter this house.

   And then, he also plans to use the Traceless Stretching Charm to expand the rooms in this house.

   Ordinary wizard families naturally dare not do this, but Albert originally did not intend to let other people enter this house, so he was naturally not worried about illegal issues.

   Once Albert casts the Faithful Charm on the house, no one will find it.

   Even the Ministry of Magic can only stand on the street and stare.
