BXBX NOVEL Chapter 1044: snow christmas
"I have a more convenient way."
"Well, it\'s really like what you would do, keep in touch at any time." Lee Jordan dragged his suitcase towards the carriage, preparing to take the Thestral carriage to the train station with a few acquaintances.
"Aren\'t we leaving school by train?"
After saying goodbye to several of her friends, Katrina followed Albert and walked into the castle.
Today, most of the students have taken horse-drawn carriages to the train station, and the once lively castle has become dead silent.
"No, Dobby will send us away."
Albert took Katrina to the agreed empty classroom, where the house-elf Dobby was already waiting for their arrival.
Katrina saw the familiar suitcase and guessed what was going on. She turned her head to Albert and asked inexplicably, "You seem to like having house-elves appear with apparitions?"
"Because it\'s safer, house-elves can Apparate to areas that wizards can\'t Apparate, such as an area that\'s banned from Apparition, which means other wizards can\'t follow them." Albert walked into the hide Box, explained to Katrina, "Also, even the Ministry of Magic doesn\'t pay attention to the trail of a house-elf. They, not wizards, always despise these hard-working little ones."
"Just say you\'re afraid of death!" Katrina could understand, but she was just not used to Albert\'s excessive vigilance.
"Yes, I really don\'t want to die." Albert said solemnly, leaving Katrina next to him speechless.
The two waited at the entrance, as the trip was shorter than expected, and the house-elves were in several places where Apparitions were prohibited from moving.
Then, to their new temporary home: Nicole Lemay\'s Safe House in Devon.
The two old men\'s lives were about to come to an end, so they gave Albert the safe house in England.
"this…"
Katrina looked at the open space in front of her. There was nothing there. She guessed what was going on, turned her head to look at Albert, and asked tentatively, "The Curse of Faithful Loyalty?"
"Yes. It\'s somewhere in Devon, where the Nicole Lemays used to live." Albert took out a slip of paper and handed it to Katrina.
The latter took the piece of paper, glanced at the content on the piece of paper, and after meditating in his heart, he found that an old French-style house suddenly appeared in front of him.
"Don\'t be stunned, come in!"
After Albert burned the piece of paper, he took the suitcase from Katrina and walked towards the entrance of the house.
The Brave Loyalty Charm has been cast here, and the secrecy is naturally Dumbledore.
In fact, both Nicole LeMay and his wife\'s safe house keep Dumbledore, which is one of the reasons why he gave the safe house to Albert.
Even if you don\'t give it away, in the end, only very few acquaintances can get in. This is the bad thing about being protected by the Brave Loyalty Charm. This spell can\'t be lifted, it can only be inherited, or completely forgotten by people.
"I heard you don\'t want to come here for Christmas?"
Isobel came out of the hall when he heard the door open and stared at Katrina with his hands on his hips, I was unhappy written all over his face.
"You know, if you want to get good grades in the final exam, you\'d better stay in school to prepare for the exam." Katrina stubbornly argued.
"You can review while you are here, and someone can teach you, and don\'t you want to spend the Christmas vacation with your mother?" Isobel stared at Katrina: "Or, you don\'t want to spend the holidays with us?"
"No, no, I..."
"That\'s good, come and help decorate the hall!" Isobel dragged Katrina to the hall, and didn\'t forget to turn around and say to Albert, "You come too, I can\'t do it alone."
"coming."
"Dobby, help put the suitcase back in the room."
"Ok sir."
Both wizards and Muggles like to use a lot of holly, mistletoe and gold and silver ribbons as Christmas decorations, there is a Christmas tree by the fireplace, Isobel is decorating it with ribbons and ornaments, let here More Christmas atmosphere.
"Are these packages real?"
Katrina is placing the Christmas presents on the table under the tree.
"It\'s true, Albert receives a bunch of Christmas gifts every year. These are actually relatively few." Isobel used his wand to conjure many sparkling snowflakes and hung them on the tree.
"That\'s an exaggeration."
"If you give out an exaggerated share of gifts every year, you will naturally receive a lot of gifts in return." Isobel helps prepare the Christmas gifts that Albert sends out every year.
"Are we going to spend the Christmas holidays here this year?"
Katrina looked into the fireplace and asked suspiciously, "I\'ve been wondering what this smell is about since just now?"
"It should have something to do with the wood that was burned. The wood here is all left by Mr. Nico, and some of them will have a special smell when burned." Albert turned on the record player, played a brisk tune, and began to help decorate the hall.
"That\'s almost it."
The three sat and rested in the hall, enjoying French desserts and black tea brought by the house-elf, and Muggle Merry Christmas was playing in the hall.
"Why not let the house-elves help decorate?" Katrina had been wanting to ask this since just now.
"I\'ll find something for you to do, so that you won\'t be too busy, and decorating yourself will make you feel more festive." Isobel said with a smile and swallowed his words.
"I already helped decorate the castle when I was at school." Katrina didn\'t want to speak, and tasted the food silently. Compared with the food at Hogwarts, Albert was always very particular about food.
She secretly looked at Isobel\'s figure, and didn\'t find any sign that he was getting fat. Instead, she was more attractive than before, which was incredible.
"What\'s wrong?" Isobel looked up and asked.
"You eat so well at home?"
Katrina ate another freshly baked muffin, drank lipstick tea, and lounging on the leather sofa.
"Because I keep exercising every day." Isobel said proudly.
"It\'s really enviable, how is the research on beauty potions?" Katrina asked.
"Have you thought about opening a beauty shop?" Albert asked with a smile.
"No, just ask."
Katrina is indeed a little confused. She probably won\'t be able to go to work after graduation, because according to Albert, the first two years after graduation coincided with the most dangerous time in the magic world.
"By the way, I recently learned their healing magic from Firenze, maybe you can use it." Albert took out a notebook from the deformed lizard skin bag and handed it to Isobel.
"This is a Christmas present?" Isobel took the notebook and asked Albert\'s cheek with a smile.
"right."
"What\'s wrong?" Isobel asked in confusion, noticing Katrina\'s expression.
"Firenze is a centaur from the Forbidden Forest and is now serving as the new divination professor at Hogwarts." Katrina looked away from Albert and reminded, "The centaurs\' magic is definitely different from ours. Same."
"Their healing magic is more a combination of herbs and magic," Albert said.
"Wizards can use it too."
"I tried and it worked."
"It\'s incredible."
It turns out that wizards can\'t successfully use healing magic like centaurs using only white branches, and the success rate of using wands is also extremely low, requiring the use of extreme healing wands specially made by Albert to be successful, and All three took turns trying, and in the end only Mrs. McDougall succeeded.
So, under Isobel\'s resentful gaze, Mrs. McDougall took the notebook.
That night, Albert spent a lot of time comforting his girlfriend.
Christmas is here in the blink of an eye.
Albert and Isobel got up very late. After a sumptuous Christmas lunch, sisters McDougall built a snowman in the yard at the invitation of Albert, and also made a snow room that can accommodate three people. Inside the house, I felt what it was like to drink tea in the snow.
They don\'t have to worry about Christmas dinner anyway, the house elves will prepare everything.
In the afternoon, Albert took out The Tales of Bedouin the Poet sent by Dumbledore and read it together with Isobel, talking about Dumbledore\'s comments on it, and Katrina went back to his room, probably Don\'t want to stay for dog food.
Mrs. McDougall\'s work was very busy, and she had to work overtime at Christmas, and she didn\'t come back in a hurry until eight o\'clock in the evening.
Luckily, they didn\'t bother with roasting the turkey, which would have been harder than a rock when it cooled.
After enjoying freshly baked international cuisine and drinking a glass of eggnog with a Christmas atmosphere, everyone sat on the sofa in the lobby and chatted. Initially, talking about the wedding of Albert and Isobel. After all, Albert\'s family is not in the UK, but after confirming that the wedding of the two has been helped to prepare, Mrs. McDoug looks a little regretful, but also seems to be She breathed a sigh of relief, because with the list of guests Albert needs to invite, she alone doesn\'t know what to do.
Later, the topic was brought to the healing magic of centaurs. The effect of treating trauma is really good, but wizards don\'t really need it, because most wizards can\'t use it at all, and white fresh essence can actually achieve a similar effect. .
Of course, if you can study in depth, you may be able to find new discoveries, but its difficulty of use also limits its upper limit, so Isobel successfully got the notebook back.
"Oh, by the way, your Defense Against the Dark Arts professor seems to be in some trouble." Mrs. McGonagall changed the subject, talking about what happened to Hogwarts today: "She seems to have drank the compound with toads. medicine."
"Compound potion?" Katrina blinked curiously. Of course, she had also seen the appearance of a toad. She thought it was some kind of transformation curse, but she didn\'t expect it to be caused by the compound potion.
"Did you tell her about it?" Albert was not surprised that Mrs. McDougall saw the toad\'s condition.
"No, Mrs. Pomfrey said it was a skin disease. I think there might be some reason." Mrs. McGonagall shook her head. Formal treatment is inherently weird."
"Well, because Umbridge has done too much in the school, all the teachers and students in the school hated her, and she was retaliated against." Albert explained with a smile.
"You did it?" Katrina asked suspiciously.
"Harry Potter did it."
Albert decisively dumped the blame, this is indeed what Harry Potter and his friends did.
"It seems that Umbridge has indeed done a lot of bad things." Isobel raised his eyebrows.
"Yeah, the school\'s education orders are almost over 100." Katrina complained, and she briefly recounted the bad things Umbridge had done recently.
"She actually used Veritaserum on the students?" Mrs. McDougall was very surprised by Umbridge\'s audacity. Once overdose of Veritaserum, it may cause irreversible damage to the user. She suddenly understood why Umbridge had become like that. No wonder Madam Pomfrey hated her so much. The **** she did at school was really hated.
"It\'s not that bad actually." Albert smiled, passing a plate of shrimp dumplings through the crowd, "Although Umbridge did make Hogwarts a bit bad, she also brought everyone There was a lot of joy and laughter."
"She\'s about to be turned into a laughing stock at the school by you now." Katrina dared to say that those things were definitely related to Albert, "When are you going to kick her out?"
"I\'ve never done anything to her, other people are taking revenge on her." Albert shrugged and changed the subject: "I heard that Arthur Weasley was injured and hospitalized a while ago."
"Oh, you said Arthur Weasley, he was bitten by a poisonous snake. He is not life-threatening, but we have not found an antidote to heal the wound completely." Mrs. McDougall recalled: "You What do you ask this for? Is he your friend too?"
"A few days ago, two of my friends were called away in the middle of the night. I think it was because of this." Albert suddenly said again: "Phoenix\'s tears are actually the best antidote."
"That thing is too precious, and there are no phoenixes in St. Mungo\'s Hospital for Magical Injuries to provide tears."
Albert took out a small medicine bottle from the deformed lizard skin bag and put it in front of Mrs. McDougall, "If you can\'t find an antidote, give him this thing."
"This is?"
Mrs. McDougall took the medicine bottle and looked up and down at the pitifully little clear liquid inside, and seemed to have guessed what it was.
"Tears of the Phoenix. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com"
"Where did you get it." Mrs. McDougall was surprised.
"Professor Dumbledore asked me to pass it on to you." Albert explained, "He is in a bad situation now, and if he comes forward, it may cause Arthur Weasley to be expelled from Fudge. If it takes a while, you guys If you can\'t find an antidote, use this thing. Well, this thing is actually an antidote."
"It seems that this matter is more complicated than I expected." Mrs. McDougall put away the crystal bottle and did not intend to delve into the matter.
