Chapter 528 Perception
In the end, Albert was not able to stay at Isobel's house for the night as he wished. From the beginning, he did not expect that he would be able to stay for the night.
Now, it’s not the time yet.
Isobel’s mother, Mrs. McDougal, is very similar to Albert’s mother, Daisy, in that they are both working women.
The only difference is that Mrs. McDougal is not good at housework. The seafood dinner that day was cooked by the McDougal sisters together.
They sat at the dinner table and chatted about some trivial matters in life.
It was a very normal meal, and it was obvious that Mrs. McDougal was very satisfied with Albert, especially when Albert said that his parents were also very satisfied with Isobel.
As for Albert's identity as a Muggle wizard, Mrs. McDougal didn't particularly care. The dinner was spent peacefully and chatting, and both parties left a good impression on the other party.
Finally, Mrs. McDougal connected the fireplaces on both sides through connections, allowing Albert to use the Floo network to return home before ten o'clock.
The dinner was not quite what Albert had expected, but everything went well.
“The wizard’s magic is incredible.”
Looking at the figure coming out of the fireplace, Herb stretched out his hand to support Albert who almost fell.
“How is it over there?” Daisy asked.
"Everything goes well." Albert patted the dust on his body, reached out and picked up Tom who came over curiously, and sat down next to the sofa.
“Why are you all saying some incomprehensible things?” Nia looked back and forth at the three people in front of her. She felt that they had something to hide from her.
"She is willing to help research beauty potions." Albert changed the topic: "Maybe, one day it will be successful."
"Didn't you say that the wizard's beauty potion can change a person's appearance?" Daisy quickly picked up the topic. She had not forgotten the French wizard she met during her last vacation in the snowy mountains.
“Magic potion is a magical thing. Since it can make people live forever, it may also make people look immortal.” Albert explained casually: “The success rate should be quite high, and it is very profitable.”
Nia was not interested in so-called beauty potions. She stared directly at Albert, as if she wanted to see something else from him.
Next, they spent most of the time talking about similar things, especially when they learned that the Philosopher's Stone was about to be destroyed. Neither Daisy nor Herb could understand it, but they could only express their regrets.
While Albert was chatting, McDougal, mother and daughter also finished clearing the dishes and sat down at the dining table to chat about today's events.
"Your boyfriend looks very unusual," said Mrs. MacDougal. "He doesn't look much like a Muggle wizard."
After noticing her daughter's gaze, Mrs. McDougal quickly added, "I'm not saying he's not good, I just think it's very unusual. No Muggle wizard can do what he does, especially... Deny it, Albert is indeed talented, but it is not easy to establish friendly correspondence with other famous wizards."
“Does mom care about this?” Isobel asked softly, looking at the reflection in her tea cup.
“No, just a little curious.”
Mrs. McDougal shook her head and said, "It is not easy for even a genius wizard to be welcomed among a group of famous wizards."
However, her daughter’s boyfriend is obviously very famous in many circles.
Potions, spells, transformations, magic texts, alchemy... He even became the youngest international wizard chess champion not long ago. Even Dumbledore probably couldn't achieve this level when he was young.
Mrs. McDougal felt a little strange, but she didn't mean to go into details. Everyone has their own secrets, and for Isobel, this is actually a good thing.
The three of them chatted until very late, and the topic all revolved around Albert. Isobel also talked about what happened with Albert. After listening to this, Katrina had a particularly complicated expression.
As expected, they are all liars.
The fact that we only started dating in the last semester is a lie.
Even Mrs. McDougal was surprised that her daughter started falling in love so early.
“Does Katrina like Albert too?” Mrs. McDougal asked after Katrina returned to the room.
“It seems a little bit.” Isobel thought for a while and said, “After all, Albert has always been very popular and the best boyfriend of the girls in school.”
"I know you are very opinionated, but I don't want you two to have a bad relationship because of this matter." Mrs. McDougal frowned slightly. Although she felt that the possibility of that kind of thing was not high, she I should still say it just in case.
After all, Isobel will graduate early, and Albert and Katrina will graduate together in two years. God knows what will happen in two years.
After all, Katrina is also a beautiful girl.
"She has no chance." Isobel shook her head, "There was no chance from the beginning."
"Albert hopes to get engaged to me when he reaches adulthood." Speaking of this, the girl's cheeks couldn't help but blush slightly, "Uncle Mog will be our witness."
“He was more proactive than your father.” Mrs. McDougal recalled, holding her chin in her hands. “Your father only got up the courage to propose to me when he was in the seventh grade.”
Mrs. McDougal did not object. She felt that her objection would be useless. Her eldest daughter was a genius, far more outstanding than her father. Moreover, because of her family relationship, she was very precocious and had devoted a lot to the family. Mrs. McDougal wants her daughter to be happy.
That Albert is obviously more talented, and also very precocious. It is said that the two people's situations are very similar, so they come together and have their own topics of communication.
"Actually, you have something to worry about, right?" Mrs. McDougal suddenly said, "Your father was also taken care of by Mog at that time, and he also had a good relationship with many famous wizards."
"While chatting with Albert, I even saw the shadow of your father in him, but Albert is more talented." Mrs. McDougal said angrily, "I am not an idiot, your father He didn't inherit much property from his family, but he was able to own a beautiful manor here, and he could even stay at home to do magic research."
Isobel’s mouth opened up but she didn’t speak.
“And your Uncle Mog.”
Mrs. MacDougal snorted, "He basically didn't inherit any property from the MacDougal family, but he became a rich and famous wizard in a short period of time, and he even had house elves to help him take care of it. manor."
When Mrs. McDougal married Isobel's father, the McDougal family had long since declined, but not much property was left behind.
After her husband's death, her family has been taken care of by her husband's friends. Isobel is even very fond of Mog, and Mog is actually prepared to be the witness of their marriage, which is indescribably weird.
As long as you sort out the social circles of a few people, it is not difficult to find the problem. Perhaps, it is a circle that only genius wizards are qualified to join!
