Daily Life at Hogwarts Chapter 814: Agreement
"Actually, I've always wondered why you can speak foreign languages so well."
Since the start of the holidays, Nia has spent almost the rest of her time practicing foreign languages with Albert, aside from doing her summer homework. Luke and Sansa also joined this family-style chat for the upcoming East Prepare for the trip.
"Maybe it's because of my talent in this area." Albert said without blushing and heartbeat.
Nia obviously doesn't believe it, because Albert speaks a lot of foreign languages.
Even if the talent is different, there is no one as gifted as he is.
A language needs to be used frequently in order to be proficient, and this period of practice has made Nia deeply understand this, and Albert obviously has no such opportunity.
"Why not look at the subcontinent?"
Reading the books that Herb brought back from the Far East colony, Nia rediscovered the topic, "There are also a lot of people in the subcontinent, and there are still many British people still living in the subcontinent." /
"There are actually very few real people in the subcontinent." Albert briefly commented, "It's dirty, messy, unfriendly to girls, and people who are not used to it are prone to get sick in the past."
"You seem to know." Luke asked with a smile, "Any information from the book?"
"I've looked into it," Albert whispered. "If I hadn't become a wizard, I'd probably have considered making some money at home, and then using the money to go to America or the Far East. You know, The outbreak of economic crises is regular, it is a disaster, and it is also an opportunity.”
"Well, I'm not an idiot, I know what you mean." Nia knew that Albert's sending their parents to the Far East Colony was clearly related to this.
This is an opportunity, no one will dislike their lack of money.
"By the way, I'm going to a long trip in two days. A friend invited me to participate in a game. Maybe I can bring a trophy back." Albert said to everyone with a smile.
Mr. Budd wrote to him yesterday, in which he mentioned the Barnabus Finkley Award for Excellence in Spellcasting, which took place in Spain.
"How long are you going to be out?"
Nia's voice was a little higher, obviously not very happy. Albert only stayed at home for a few days during the holiday, and was ready to go out again, and he didn't bring himself.
"It won't be long, at most two or three days." Albert softly reassured "I'll remember to bring you a souvenir."
"I'm not a child, what souvenir do I want." Nia said unhappily, "We will be leaving Europe next year, and we may be separated for several years. You should spend more time on your family." /
"Sorry, this is indeed my negligence." Albert has been busy with his own business, and has indeed neglected the relatives around him.
"To be successful, you have to give something." Luke didn't blame Albert, but said to Sansa, "The pineapple in the kitchen should be soaked."
Sansa got up and went into the kitchen, pulled the pineapple out of the brine and placed it on a plate, when she inadvertently caught a glimpse of an owl flying toward her.
"A letter from your owl," Sansa said to Albert in the living room, opening the kitchen window.
An owl flew in from the window, flew past the open door into the living room, landed on the table in front of Albert, raised his right leg, and an envelope tied to the owl's leg.
Albert pushed aside Tom who had come up to him, reached out and took off the envelope, glanced at the wax seal on the letter, and said with a smile, "It's from the school."
"When will you go shopping at Magic Street?" Nia asked expectantly, "Can we go with you then?"
"Of course, we can go together then."
Albert went to the kitchen to prepare water and food for the owl. Then I tore open the envelope, pulled out a small stack of parchment paper, unfolded it, and found my transcript

After reading the report card of the Ordinary Wizarding Rank Examination, Albert found that his heart did not fluctuate, but the "Simple Ordinary Wizarding Ranking Test" in the panel task became available for collection.
"What are you looking at?" Nia brought her head closer.
"Transcript of exams from last semester."
Albert handed the parchment to Nia, opened the other letters in the envelope, and there was indeed a dress option on the list.
"You're taking Muggle Studies as an elective?"
Nia has read the book "The Family Life and Social Habits of British Muggles". It's hard to imagine that wizards know so little about ordinary people, and they can learn it with Albert's character and patience. class.
"All good looks better," Albert nodded. "But, you're right, wizards don't understand Muggles at all, and Muggle research is really stupid, and sometimes even embarrassing."
"I feel that wizards are a bit arrogant, and although magic is easy to use, the magic world is really backward." Nia was very impressed by the backwardness of the magic world, "On the contrary, the development of the ordinary world is faster than the magic world. Much faster."
"It's normal, because the number of wizards is small, which is doomed to slow the development of the magic world." Albert put the letter back into the envelope, reached out and touched Tom's head, ready to go back to the room to give Bud wrote a letter to set a time for the two sides to meet.
"There seems to be another owl." Albert picked up a piece of pineapple and was about to leave the living room when he heard Nia's voice coming from behind.
When Albert turned his head, he saw a gray owl hovering above everyone's heads, throwing a letter in front of Albert, and it seemed that he had no plans to fly away immediately.
Albert bent over to pick up the letter, only to find that the sender was Angelina.
He opened the envelope, took out the letter and began to read
Dear Albert
I received a letter from my school's owl yesterday, my owls grades were not very good, I only passed seven subjects, I think you must get "o" in all your owls.
One thing has always been on my mind, I didn't find the Quidditch team captain badge in the envelope, I hope you don't laugh at me for that. I have secretly asked Fred, George and Arya, but none of them received the badge, so I suspect that Professor McGonagall forgot to square the badge in the envelope and was hesitating to write to Professor McGonagall asking this matter.
If you know anything, please write back and let me know, and congratulations on being awarded the Order of Merlin 3rd Class.
I'm going to the Quidditch World Cup this year and Fred said you'll be there too, see you later.
Have a great summer!
Angelina Johnson
Albert certainly knew why Angelina didn't receive the Quidditch team's captain badge, because there won't be any Quidditch matches next term.
"Follow me."
Albert told Gray Owl that he couldn't let this guy bother everyone.
After a while, Angelina's gray owl flew away with a note.
Shera is still standing on the table, looking at the owl flying away from the window, blinking as if to say "The nasty guy is finally gone."
Albert continued to write to Bud, telling him that he was going shopping at Diagon Alley tomorrow and that he would meet him there. It would be better if all the problems could be solved incidentally, since it would be a hassle to not be able to use magic.
After writing to Bud, Albert told everyone about going shopping in Diagon Alley, but to his surprise, Grandpa Luke was not enthusiastic about going to Diagon Alley, nor did he plan to go to Diagon Alley. Go with Albert only to say that they will wait outside for their shopping before driving them back.
"Grandpa, why don't you go together?" Nia asked in confusion.
"I think it's fine now, we can't become wizards after all, and we're not in the same world as wizards." Luke stroked Nia's head gently and said, "In this case, don't have too many intersections, lest I can't give up in the future."
"Honey, let's go to the movies then. We haven't seen a movie together for a long time." Sansa suggested with a smile. Although she was also curious about what the magic world looked like, she obviously didn't intend to lose it. Under Luke, watching a movie is undoubtedly the best choice to pass the time.
The next day, Luke drops Albert and Nia near the Leaky Cauldron.
"There doesn't seem to be anything over there." Through the car window, Sansa looked suspiciously at the place where Albert and Nia were going.
"The Leaky Cauldron is over there, but ordinary people can't see it because it's enchanted," Luke explained calmly. "Okay, let's go to the movies!"
Albert took Nia's hand into the Leaky Cauldron, and found that the bar was more lively than before. Most of the people were talking about this year's Quidditch World Cup. Tom in the bar was a little surprised when he saw Albert .
Albert ignored Tom's scrutiny, looked around and couldn't find Isobel, reached out and took out a pocket watch from his pocket, glanced at the time, and muttered, "Maybe, they're waiting for us at the ice cream shop."
"You dated Isobel?" Nia asked.
"She's going shopping with her sister," Albert explained. "Just so you can meet Katrina first."
Nia pouted in dissatisfaction, clearly preferring to shop with Albert, who would have turned into an extra light bulb if Isobel was around.
Albert did not notice the change in Nia's mood and took her to the backyard of the bar, where he used his wand to open the entrance to Diagon Alley.
"No matter how many times I look at it, it feels incredible." Nia said, looking at the rearranged brick wall.
"Yeah, it was incredible the first time I saw it." Albert took Nia's hand into the brick arcade and said with a smile, "Welcome to Diagon Alley ."
"If I could, I would really like to wander around." Nia said, looking at the lively Diagon Alley.
"Unfortunately, we only have two hours for shopping." Albert took Nia's hand to the Florin's cold drink shop.
Isobel and Katrina apparently haven't arrived yet.
"Oh, look who I saw, what a rare visitor." Florin greeted Albert with a smile.
"Two chocolate nut sundaes." Albert pulled a Galleon from his pocket.
"No, I'll invite you all for free. I heard that you received the Merlin Order of Merlin 3rd class." Florin smiled and handed the two ice creams he had just made to Albert, and asked in a low voice, "This Is the pretty girl your girlfriend?"
"She's my sister," Abbott corrected, "but thanks for the ice cream, I'll make a prediction for you some other day."
"Oh, it seems they say you will prophesy is true?" Florin looked at Albert curiously. "True prophets are not common."
"Yes...he can predict, and it's very accurate." Albert was about to say something when he heard a familiar voice next to him.
"I thought we had to wait a while." Albert smiled and said to the two sisters, "What do you want to eat, I'll treat you."
"Then I'm welcome, Katrina, what do you want to eat?" Isobel asked his sister with a smile.
"Just like you."
Katrina is secretly looking at Nia, who is holding Albert's hand, a beautiful girl who is equally as good as her sister, who is said to be Albert's sister, a Muggle who can't use magic.
Nia took a bite of the ice cream and scrutinized Katrina.
"Let's go to Mrs. Malkin's robe first," Albert suggested. "We have two hours of shopping."
"Why all of a sudden a custom dress?" Katrina asked.
"This year the school will have a Christmas dance," explained Albert, who will have to prepare their gowns for those who plan to attend.
"Aren't you going to go home this Christmas?" Nia was even more upset.
"Don't worry, I have other ways to go back to spend Christmas with you." Albert smiled and patted Nia's head.
Katrina pouted as she looked at Albert, who was doting on her sister.
"What's the reason?"
"The Ministry of Magic is trying to revive the Triwizard Tournament, and the other two schools will come to Hogwarts to compete, so Hogwarts will have a Christmas ball." Albert told what he knew. Everyone, "It is said that the champion who wins the championship will receive a reward of 1000 Galleons."
"Congratulations, another trophy." Katrina congratulated in advance. She didn't think anyone would be a match for Albert, this guy was a ruthless trophy-harvesting machine.
"At that time, there is something I want to discuss with you."
"What's the matter?" Katrina asked.
"Wait until I've chosen a Hogwarts warrior. If I'm not chosen, I'll just pretend I didn't say anything." While they were talking, they had arrived outside Madam Malkin's robe shop.
Isobel frowned and looked at her sister, who probably guessed what Albert wanted to say to Katrina.
They entered the store and there were already people inside. After the four of them entered, the shop became even more crowded.
A young man with pale yellow hair was trying on a dark green dress, looked sideways in the direction of the footsteps, and said in a yin and yang tone, "Mom, I smell a strange smell, maybe we It's time to switch stores."
Albert frowned and stared at Malfoy, squinting his eyes to examine the mother and son in front of him, with a deep malice on the corner of his mouth.
Even Nia couldn't help but look at her brother, she suddenly felt a little strange, she looked at the blond boy in front of her again, obviously because of what she said just now.
Narcissa Malfoy looked at the four who entered the robe store and said, "Okay, let's go to the Fabulous Clothing Store, where we can buy better dresses."
"Cause and effect, is a very magical thing."
Albert's voice was soft, but it happened to be heard by Malfoy who was about to leave.
"I thought you were going to be angry," Katrina said, glancing at Albert.
"That will only make you look uneducated," Albert said calmly to Mrs. Malkin. "I need to redo two school uniforms."
"Don't you want a dress?"
"No, I have a dress." Albert said, "It's a good one."
"The last one, wouldn't it be too small?" Isobel knew which dress Albert was talking about.
"No, it's enchanted to automatically fit the user's height and size." Albert explained softly, which was actually what Bud told him in the letter, "Your dress is actually the same."
"Oh."
Isobel was a little surprised. When Albert was measuring his body, he quietly pulled Katrina aside and talked about the dress.
However, Katrina ended up getting a custom gown.
After measuring the clothes, a group of people plan to continue shopping.
Nia drags Aette around for a walk, while Katrina wants to go to the bookstore to buy books.
"I'll go with you and meet at the robe store." Isobel worried that her sister was shopping alone, "What class are you going to study next semester?"
"Arithmetic divination and ancient rune, as well as five basic courses." Albert handed a small bag of gold coins to Isobel, "Then please."
"You won't be angry?" Katrina asked in a low voice, watching Albert leave.
"No." Isobel shook her head.
Katrina whispered, "You don't think he spoiled his sister too much."
"His family will be leaving the UK soon, and it's normal for Albert to spend some time with his family," Isobel said calmly.
Katrina opened her mouth, not knowing what to say.
After separating from Sister McDougall, Nia's mood suddenly improved a lot. She grabbed Albert's hand and dragged him to go shopping. Her big eyes were full of curiosity and excitement. All the scenery is in the eyes of income.
Albert buys Nia some fancy little things.
As they came out of the pharmacy, Nia's expression looked abnormal, and she asked in a low voice, "Isn't the wizard's beauty potion also made from those things?"
"Not necessarily. Usually, the potion is just like that. Don't think about it too much." Albert comforted softly.
"Did you feel nauseous the first time you drank the potion," Nia asked again.
"It's a little bit, but it's good to get used to it." Albert thought for a while and said, "However, ordinary wizards won't explore the specific formula of potions, and they don't care, as long as they can cure themselves, it's enough. ."
"It's hard to understand and it's hard to accept."
Albert took out his pocket watch from his pocket, looked at the time and asked, "If there were potions that could make you smarter or pretty, those potions that looked disgusting, would you drink it?"
"Probably."
"That's right, you just need to pay attention to its effect, and don't care about other things too much." Albert said to Nia, "Come on, let's go get the robe, I think Katri Na should have finished shopping too."
"Are you going back?" Nia was a little reluctant, she still had a lot of places she wanted to go.
As the two passed an owl store, she whispered, "Can I buy an owl so I can contact you later."
"No, at least not now." Albert directly refused, "And, isn't there a double-sided mirror?"
"The mirror is with my mother. If you can find another mirror for me, we won't have to worry about communication in the future." Nia pouted and complained.
"I'll take a look later."
"Don't forget."
Isobel and Katrina had finished shopping by the time the two returned to the robe store.
After shopping, Albert proposed to go out to eat something while waiting for Grandpa Luke to pick him up after watching the movie.
"Going to eat at the Muggle?" Katrina hesitated.
"If you only study Muggle studies, you will never know how Muggles live." Albert said with a smile, "I think it is a good choice to start learning about Muggles from food."
A few people went to the nearest Charlie's milk tea branch and ordered some delicious desserts, such as heat-exploding pies and grilled cheese bars, fried chicken thighs of various flavors, fried chicken nuggets, grilled sausages, hand Grab the pie.
Today's milk tea shops are not just milk tea shops, but are beginning to transform into gourmet shops.
Of course, Albert also gets a share of the money Charlie's shop makes, but only nominally under Daisy's name.
Katrina took a bite of a delicious grilled cheese stick, narrowed her eyes happily and said, "This stuff is delicious."
"This is for you."
Nia hands Katrina her share of grilled cheese sticks.
"Aren't you going to eat?" Katrina asked in confusion.
“If you don’t eat it, it’s easy to get fat if you eat too much. These things are high in calories.” Nia explained in a low voice.
Katrina looked at the cheese stick in her hand and suddenly felt that it was not tasty.
"Don't worry, it's okay to eat occasionally." Albert smiled and comforted.
Not long after the four paid and left the store, Luke drove to pick up Nia and Albert's purchases.
"Why didn't you leave together?"
Katrina asked Albert, who was still standing beside them, puzzled.
"I have an appointment with someone else." Albert walked in the direction of the Leaky Cauldron, "How are you going to get back."
"I'll use Apparition to take Katrina back later." Isobel asked casually, "Who are you waiting for."
"Mr. Budd, he said he was going to take me to the Barnabus Finkley Excellent Spellcasting Contest~IndoMTL.com~ Albert took Isobel's hand and asked, "Would you like to join me too? Go on vacation. "
"Forget it." Isobel shook his head and said, "Next time I go to Egypt to attend the International Alchemy Conference, I'll go together."
Katrina doesn't know why she suddenly feels sad for Albert's opponent.
The three entered the Leaky Cauldron one after the other, Isobel and Katrina returned to Diagon Alley, and Albert soon found Mr. Bud at the counter.
"I hope I didn't make you wait too long." Albert said apologetically.
"You're done over there?" Bud didn't care about that.
"It's all set," said Albert.
"Then let's go." Mr. Bud greeted Tom and left with Albert, who had just returned to the Leaky Cauldron.
