Daily Life at Hogwarts Chapter 723: A strong desire to survive

  Chapter 724 Strong desire to survive

   "Look, Dumbledore, what we got you!"

  Professor Slughorn pushed the door into the principal's office and spoke directly to Dumbledore who was sitting at the desk.

  Albert and Isobel also followed into the principal's office.

   "I got the news yesterday, Slughorn." Dumbledore looked at Albert, who put the golden cauldron symbolizing the champion on the desk, and said gently, "Good job. , Mr. Anderson. The school hasn't won a Potions Championship since I started as headmaster of Hogwarts."

   "This is really thanks to Mr. Anderson, you don't even know that shameless old guy Bernard..." Professor Slughorn seemed to realize that his words were out of place, coughed lightly, and changed his words: " That guy actually changed the rules of this Potions Championship, intending to directly let his grandson win the championship."

   "He must be **** off," Dumbledore said softly. "By the way, Mr. Anderson, a reporter from the Daily Prophet wants to give you an exclusive interview."

   "Shouldn't it be Rita Kist who was in charge of the interview?" Albert raised his eyebrows slightly.

  "Yes, if you don't want to be interviewed, I can understand that too."

  “I don’t like Rita Skeeter too much either.” Professor Slughorn explained with a shrug when he saw everyone was looking at him: “Although sometimes her reports are interesting, more Sometimes you don't know what's real and what's fake."

  "Okay, I'll be interviewed."

  Albert nodded in agreement, believing that the woman who was afraid that the world would not be chaotic would give Bernard an unexpected surprise.

   The other three people in the principal's office were a little surprised. They probably didn't expect Albert to agree to the interview, thinking he would reject it outright.

  Albert noticed the flickering surprise on Isobel's face, and explained with a smile: "If she didn't do the interview, Rita Kist would have made another mess of reports."

   "I think the Daily Prophet will be very happy, and I will let you know the specific time." After Dumbledore finished speaking, he let the two go back to rest.

  "You don't seem very happy?"

   After leaving the principal's office and walking forward for a while, Isobel finally spoke.

   "It's nothing, I thought the principal would give some rewards after taking away the golden cauldron." Albert said half-jokingly: "After all, we won a championship for the school, at least give points, or give We prepared a great celebration feast, but it turned out to be nothing."

   "Didn't you already get a huge bonus?" Isobel stared at Albert for a long time.

   "What's wrong?" Albert asked.

  "I see that you are getting more and more profitable."

   "Oh, it's always easy to live as someone you hate." Albert sighed softly.

   "You always have a few wise words popping out of your mouth." Isobel looked at Albert with a scrutiny: "They're right, you're more and more like Dumbledore. You can definitely Graduated from school with countless dazzling halos."

   "I'm not Dumbledore, and I don't want to be a great person like him, and I'm not going to be like the headmaster without marrying a wife." Albert remembered a joke in his previous life: Dumbledore only loved Greenwald.

   "My goal in life is to be rich, marry a beautiful wife, have two children, and then spend the rest of my life freely." Albert recalled his life goal and nodded with satisfaction, "I think All can be achieved before the age of thirty.”

  "You're not looking for two or three girlfriends now."

   "This is a long time ago, don't keep making fun of me about it." Albert changed the subject, "By the way, your previous boldness really surprised me."

   "It's not to satisfy your vanity." Isobel was obviously not very happy that Albert mentioned this.

   "You're so kind, that kiss does satisfy me more than that gilded cauldron." Albert said earnestly.

  Isobel asked with a smile, "What about your bag of Galleons?"

  "Of course it's suitable, gold always makes people feel good."

  "I found out that you are actually quite greedy and lustful."

   "Yes, men are like this." Albert did not deny it, "This time, I made a lot of money, that is, I robbed you of the championship. If I didn't participate, this potion tournament would be the winner. 80% of the champion will be yours.”

   "You look at me too highly." Isobel shook his head and said, "I'm not afraid of normal competition, but in this situation, it's hard to win the final championship with strength, I'm not like you. Bad water, and it's so hard to make the perfect Buffalo, it's hard to imagine you'd be willing to take the risk."

  "Adventures? No, I didn't take any risks because I was sure I would make it."

  "You cheated?"

  Isobel seemed to realize something, and shook his head again, "However, how do you make sure that you can make the perfect Buffy Brain Refresher?"

  "It's a phlegm."

  Albert put his head close to Isobel's ear and said softly, "Having it help me unleash all my talents, it can naturally minimize the probability of failure, so I dare to gamble."

   "Everyone cheats anyway?" Isobel looked odd.

  "Yes, I didn't intend to use it originally, but they went too far, aren't you curious about what I'm working with Kathleen about?"

   "Buffy Brain Refresher, she provides you with raw materials for practice, isn't that guy afraid of losing money?"

  "It turns out she didn't lose money, she's a shrewd woman."

  "What's the point of this kind of competition?"

   "Let yourself have a good reputation, and give yourself the title of a genius pharmacist by the way. Do you think I will endorse the Bafe Brain Refresher in the future, and it will cost you a thousand Galleons to sell it, not blood?"

  "You see it better than anyone else."

   "Okay, don't think about that." Albert stretched out his hand to hold Isobel's hand and suggested with a smile, "Let's go, let's celebrate, let Bit prepare us a celebratory dinner, and then See how the money will be spent."

  Since the Hogwarts celebration banquet cannot be counted on, it would be better to hold one yourself. Anyway, there are house-elves, and it is more romantic for the two to eat and date together.

   As soon as he entered the Room of Requirement, Albert saw a dark figure running towards the two of them. Upon closer inspection, he found that the fat cat Tom was lining his ankle with his body excitedly.

   "Master, Bit has been following your instructions to lose weight for Tom." The house-elf bowed slightly to the two of them when they saw Albert returning.

  "Thank you, Bit."

   "This is what Bit should do, and this is Bit's honor." Bit said excitedly.

   "Help us prepare a candlelight dinner. I plan to celebrate with Isobel here this year's Potions Championship." Albert thought for a while and added: "If you can't help, you can Get the other house-elves at school to help."

   "It's my pleasure." The house-elf bowed slightly, then left quickly, apparently intending to share the good news with other friends.

   As soon as he sat down on the sofa, Tom arched Albert with his head and stuck his tongue out to lick his face.

  "It seems to stick to you."

  Isobel sat beside Albert and scratched Tom's chin.

  "It should be Bit tossing it hard enough." Albert flipped Tom's weight, "Too fat is not a good thing after all, it will easily affect your health."

   "Valeria is also afraid of getting fat. She always said that after a woman crosses her thirties, she will quickly age into an old woman." Isobel looked at Albert's profile, "You are not curious about the three of us. What are people talking about?"

   "Even if you're curious, you probably won't tell me." Albert stopped his hand to Tom, looked sideways at the girl beside him, and said, "After all, it's your girls' secret."

  "It's not a secret either. We were talking about things after graduation, and Kathleen gave us some advice. She thought she should find something meaningful for herself, so as not to become an old and worried housewife." Isobel said with emotion: "I think her words have some truth. Mom looks very young, and so does your mother. They are not housewives."

   "That's because their actual age is still very young." Albert said the truth, "Most people are running for life after graduation, only a few people with decent jobs can live like Kai As Sarin said, you can't help yourself, that's the normal state of life."

   "Moreover, I think that people become old and ugly at the age of 30 because they don't know how to take care of their bodies." Albert reminded solemnly: "Like Tom, who often overeats, can It will become this little piggy cat. As long as you have a young mentality, self-discipline, regular exercise, good diet, and skin care with magic medicine, you will definitely be able to live younger than everyone else."

  "Your comforting way is still so lame."

   "I'm just telling the truth." Albert shook his head and said, "If it was someone else, I would probably say that I would help her invent the potion that can keep her young forever, but to say that to you is to treat you like a fool."

  "Maybe, we should start to control our diet from now on." Isobel would prefer to hear the first sentence, although she also knew that it was to coax girls

  "I think we still need to celebrate this hard-won victory."

   "You know? Both Catherine and Valeria want to keep their faces." Isobel put her head on Albert's shoulder, "Valeria always says ten From six to twenty-three years old is the most beautiful age for girls. It is said that I am very envious of me, and I can find someone I like to marry me when I am most beautiful."

  "It seems that their family is not rich."

  Isobel tilted her head and asked, "Why do you think so?"

  "Youth is a girl's greatest asset."

  "What about you?"

  "I, I have money." Albert said without hesitation, "If I didn't have money, I probably wouldn't get married so early."

  "If you don't have money, you won't marry me?"

   "So, I've been trying my best to make money." Albert said earnestly ~IndoMTL.com~ Fortunately, I have this ability too, most Muggle wizards do not do well in the wizarding world. "

   "You know what? I told Valeria that she could support herself with her talent for potions, and she said 'young is my greatest asset.'"

   "Very realistic girl, she must not be doing well." Albert commented.

   "Actually, I can tell that both Catherine and Valeria are interested in you." Isobel said suddenly.

   "But I can count the time I've known them with my fingers." Albert didn't dare to let the pot fall on his head, and quickly expressed that he had no other thoughts.

   "I know, but you are too easy to provoke those girls." Isobel couldn't help sighing, "Valeria even mentioned the matter of coming to the UK to develop. If I am a man, it is in line with Valerie. Ya, she will probably entangle me directly!"

   "You're probably going to marry her too, after all, it's easier to chase after a pretty girl," said Albert jokingly.

  "Unfortunately, I'm not a boy. If you're single, Valeria would definitely love to have a vigorous love affair with you."

  "I already have a girlfriend."
