Daily Life at Hogwarts

Chapter 993

I can finally go to Hogwarts tomorrow.

Katrina, who had just packed her luggage and closed the suitcase, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Although the life here is good, being caught between Isobel and Albert makes her feel uncomfortable. She hates the feeling that she is completely superfluous, and even more hates seeing the two in front of her Showing affection always makes her feel embarrassed.

Fortunately, I can finally go to Hogwarts tomorrow, and I can finally get rid of all this.

At this time, the door of the room was knocked, and the voice of the house elf Kara came from outside the door.

"Miss Katrina, dinner is ready."

She remembered that the house elf was always called Mistress Isobel, and neither of them was married yet.

You don't need to think about it, it must be Albert who asked to do this.

After coming out of the room, Katrina came to the dining room along the long corridor, looked at the sumptuous meal on the table, and looked up at Isobel: "Today's dinner is really sumptuous."

"You guys are going to school tomorrow, so naturally you have to eat a lot tonight." Isobel helped put the dinner on the table.

"Can I bring some food to Mom?"

"Mom is also taken care of by house elves." Isobel said with relief, "You don't have to worry about her daily life."

"We are going to Hogwarts tomorrow, will you still live here?" Katrina sat down at the dining table, picked up a knife and fork and asked, "By the way, where is that guy?"

"It seems that something has gone out, and it should be back soon."

Isobel looked at his younger sister and said gently, "I will move to Hogsmeade Village. There is a similar safe house over there. I used to live there."

"Hogsmeade?" Katrina was surprised. "He often visits you?"

"En." Isobel responded.

"No wonder you don't feel bored, and you still have time to publish a book with him."

Katrina was surprised by Albert's wrist, she felt that it would take a lot of thought and money to arrange such a place.

"However, he is always busy." Isobel looked at his sister and said, "Actually, you can help him too."

"Busy, busy saving the world?" Katrina laughed at herself.

"Not really, Albert had anticipated the coming turmoil very early." Isobel glanced at his communication watch, and continued: "He's just been preparing to tide over the current difficulties."

"I thought he would take you directly out of the UK and go abroad to hide from the disaster." Katrina put down her fork and followed Isobel to wait for Albert to come back.

"Actually, I hope he does that." Isobel said suddenly.

There was an eerie silence in the hall.

Katrina looked at Isobel and asked with a strange expression, "You didn't convince him?"

"If the situation gets out of control, Albert will take us out of the UK." Isobel shook his head and said, "He has already arranged the way out."

"You've changed a lot in the past few years." Katrina sighed.

At this time, there was a noise outside, it should be that Albert came back.

"What did you do?" Katrina asked, turning her head. "Everyone is waiting for you!"

"Sorry, I made you wait for me." Albert kissed Isobel's cheek and said.

"Then sit down and eat. The food is almost cold. I remember you don't like cold food." Katrina said angrily.

"You don't need to get up too early tomorrow. We will apparate directly to the train station before the train leaves." Albert put a large piece of bread crab on the plate, explaining tomorrow's itinerary while eating.

"You are really cautious." Katrina asked suspiciously, "Do you think someone will launch an attack at the station?"

"Be careful on the way, God knows if the Death Eaters will stop the train halfway?"

Albert would actually like to go straight to Hogwarts if he could, but as the head of the Student Council, he needed to show his face in the prefect's carriage.

Albert really doesn't care about this position, but he needs to consider Professor McGonagall who gave him this position.

"Would a Death Eater do that?" Katrina was reluctant to believe that a Death Eater would do such a stupid thing.

"Although the possibility is very small, I still have to be prepared. God knows if the Death Eaters will do some crazy things." Albert said to himself, "If I am a Death Eater and want to assassinate A certain student on the train will pretend to be a salesperson of the cart, and when the cart is close to the target, when the other party is unsuspecting to buy something, he will draw out his wand and cast the Avada Kedavra curse on that person, and then Apparated away while everyone panicked."

"You are really insidious." Katrina pouted, but she also had to admit that Albert's insidious plan had a very high probability of success.

Yes, it is hard to guard against.

"It's always right to be cautious. There is no shortage of smart people in this world."

After finishing speaking, Albert looked at Isobel, who immediately understood and began to tell the two about the work of the student union chairman.

Compared to Katrina, who was serious about performing her job as a prefect, Albert, who mostly fished in troubled waters, obviously needed to hear these things.

"By the way, who will be in charge of this year's Defense Against the Dark Arts class?" Katrina asked after Isobel finished speaking.

"Unfortunately, this year's Defense Against the Dark Arts is probably over."

Albert put down the knife and fork, took out a handkerchief to wipe the corners of his mouth, and said, "This year's Defense Against the Dark Arts professor is called Umbridge. He is the Senior Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Magic. The textbook is "Defense Against Magic Theory". Dobby bought it back."

""Defense Against Magic Theory"?" Katrina repeated suspiciously. From the title of the book, she knew why Albert said that this year's Defense Against the Dark Arts was probably finished.

"You guessed it right, it is said that the "Defense of Magic Theory" does not encourage the use of any offensive defensive magic." Albert's flat tone showed contempt and disdain, "Umbridge is not a qualified professor, so Don't have any expectations, I think Deputy Minister Umbridge will probably take that book and read the contents like Lockhart did."

"It's too bad," Katrina grumbled. "I'm a little worried about the N.E.w.Ts Defense Against the Dark Arts score."

She also wants to get good grades like Isobel.

"Your defense against the black arts is not bad, just ask Albert to make up for you." Isobel comforted, "Of course, you can also come to me. Although I am not as good as Albert, let It’s okay if you do well in the exam.”

Isobel had special training for revenge before, and Albert taught her a lot of things later, so that even if she encounters Death Eaters, she can easily retreat unscathed.

"This matter needs to be kept secret. I don't want a bunch of people coming to me to make up lessons." Albert agreed, and he thought for a while and said, "I need you to help me study "Magic Defense Theory". Everyone take turns asking Umbridge questions."

"You... are really bad."

"I have to have some fun for her, and test the teaching standards of the Ministry of Magic by the way." Albert said with a smile, "Actually, Dumbledore and I couldn't apply for this course, but it was a pity that we were declined."

"You seem to hate Umbridge?" Isobel was surprised that Albert would show obvious dislike for someone.

"He is indeed a very annoying guy." Albert waved his wand, and conjured a piece of parchment out of thin air. When he reached out to catch the parchment, the parchment became two, and he handed it to Iraq respectively. Zebel and Katrina.

Umbridge's deeds were read in detail on the parchment.

"So that's why you hate him."

Isobel did know some things, such as the warning letter that violated the "Secrecy Act", such as the loss of the title of Wizengamot Youth Representative.

I just didn't expect Albert to get such detailed information.

Katrina was taken aback after reading it, she didn't expect such a shameless guy, and what surprised her the most was that this person actually let the dementors attack Harry Potter.

"Although there is no evidence, she should have done it." Albert nodded. "The purpose should be to please Fudge. In fact, she became the deputy minister because of this."

"It's disgusting." Katrina hated Umbridge too.

"Some of her actions are actually right. Otherwise, why do you think she climbed to a high position? Political struggles are so cruel." Albert took out his pocket watch to check the time, turned on the radio, and tuned to the wizard lookout station. Sirius' voice came out:
Welcome to Wizard's Watch.

The topic of this issue is the new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor at Hogwarts that everyone is very concerned about.

Anyone who has studied at Hogwarts knows that Hogwarts needs to change the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor every year... Let us welcome today's guest, Professor Lupine, who was once a Defense Against the Dark Arts professor at Hogwarts, and Professor Moody...

The comments of Sirius, Lupine and Mad-Eye Moody on "Defense Against Magic Theory" came out on the radio...

"I dare say that when Umbridge is in class, he will only hold that book and read it to everyone. This book can't teach you much useful knowledge. It is only suitable as an extracurricular reading to supplement your knowledge reserve..."

"I totally agree, I just spent some time looking through this thing, and what I saw is that everyone is discouraged from using any offensive defensive magic."

"...As an Auror, I can clearly tell everyone that this is like telling a black wizard that you don't want to do that. It is illegal to use black magic..."

"...Besides that, it's better to teach everyone something to use. If you have any doubts about this, just read that book yourself!"

……

Lupine also predicted that if taught the way Umbridge was, many students might not learn useful knowledge about Defense Against the Dark Arts.

……

"...I completely agree with Professor Lupin's judgment. I think time will tell everything, but the only ones who are really unlucky are the fifth and seventh graders, and their admission to higher education will be seriously affected."

……

"As far as I know, although Professor Lupine is a werewolf, he is indeed the most popular Defense Against the Dark Arts professor in recent years. I'm right!"

"Yes, although everyone was shocked when they finally learned the truth, Professor Lupine is still very popular at Hogwarts."

Fred and George also became guests and participated in this broadcast. Although their voices have changed and they have used aliases, Albert still recognizes their voices.

The two are telling everyone about the tragic experience of the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor from the first grade to the sixth grade.

……

"Finally, I would like everyone to send silent blessings to Professor Dolores Umbridge, and hope that she can successfully teach the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor for this year, and will not be persecuted by the curse again."

The atmosphere in the hall became weird, and the McDougal sisters turned their heads to look at Albert. They suspected that Albert deliberately made today's broadcast.

At least part of the introduction to Dolores Umbridge can be seen on the parchment just now.

"Don't you think these broadcasts are very useful?" Albert's mouth curled up slightly, "At least everyone understands the current situation."

"If Umbridge hears, I think she will go crazy!" Katrina suspected that Albert was planning to make trouble.

"I don't think she will know. Even if she knows, it doesn't matter." Albert didn't care much about Umbridge. Anyway, after arriving at school, there would be a bunch of people playing with Umbridge.

After turning off the radio, several people went back to pack their luggage. Although the house elf was willing to do it for him, Albert still didn't have that habit. There were many important things in the suitcase.

As for Isobel's move to Hogsmeade, there wasn't much trouble. The only thing that made Albert a little helpless is that Isobel now devotes most of his energy to researching beauty potions, and obviously cares about himself. young face.

It can only be said that women are paranoid about their own appearance, and the more beautiful women are, the more this is the case, even the two in the United States are like this.

Especially after it was suspected that there was a potion to delay aging, they put a lot of energy into it.

However, genius is no match for cheating.

After Albert repeatedly promised to help with research afterwards, Isobel picked up the half-written Defense Against the Dark Arts manuscript again.

"How long do you think this chaos will last?"

Isobel, who was soaking in the hot spring pool, turned to ask Albert behind him.

In the end, Katrina was too embarrassed to take a bath with them, and when Albert came to take a bath, she got up and left in a hurry.

"Up to three or four years." Albert speculated, "If it's not over by then, I'll take you out of the UK."

"Do you think people can really look young?" Isobel asked.

"It's possible, after all, immortality exists." It's not the first time Albert answered this question, "I don't care."

"Lie, men always like young and beautiful women." Isobel snorted dissatisfiedly, raised his hand and poked Albert's chest and said, "Besides, I believe this research will be welcomed by girls, I have already Agreed to the plan to open a beauty shop in the UK."

"You opened a shop with Katrina?" Albert was a little surprised.

"Of course not, I can also find help." Isobel pouted, "We plan to gather everyone's strength to advance this big project."

"At that time, I can be your potion consultant." Albert said with a smile, "However, before that, we have to solve the big trouble right now."
