Chapter 592 How much to learn
Almost the entire school is discussing the duel club. Maybe some students from wizard families have heard of wizard duels, but they have definitely never seen them. There is no doubt that the emergence of the duel club has brought an unprecedented sense of novelty to everyone.
If you can attend an interesting party after staying in Hogsmeade for a day, it will undoubtedly bring more happiness to everyone.
Of course, they didn’t know in advance that this duel club was organized by Lockhart.
Isobel arrived later than expected. When the two came out of the auditorium, they saw Filch, who was wrapped up tightly, standing at the gate of the castle with a list for verification.
The administrator's temper has not changed, and he always stares unkindly at the laughing crowd.
“Let’s go, let’s go queue up too.”
Albert wrapped his cloak tightly, put on his gloves, and covered most of his face with a scarf. After signing his name, he slowly walked out of the castle next to Isobel.
There was light snow floating in the sky, and the wind was blowing in the face, and the exposed parts of the skin were so cold that it hurt. The two of them lowered their heads and trudged through the slush, heading towards Hogsmeade.
“Do you have any plans today?”
"No, just tell me if you have something over there?" Albert understood the meaning of the girl's words.
“Well, something’s wrong.” Isobel nodded and asked again, “You have mastered Apparition, right?”
"Apparition?" Albert raised his eyebrows, "You know, we can't use magic outside of school!"
“As usual, after the start of the new semester, the school will have apparition classes.”
“Oh, I almost forgot, you will be an adult next year.” Albert couldn’t help but sigh, “You can get married already.”
“If the girls hear it, they will definitely be very sad.” Isobel smiled and put her arm around Albert. “In their hearts, you are a perfect boyfriend.”
“Forget it about being a perfect boyfriend, I think that kind of persona doesn’t suit me.” It’s rare for Albert to open a cheat in this life. Of course, he has to live a comfortable life.
"This is really like what you would say." Isobel said with a smile, "I am going to take the Apparition test next year."
“Are you going to let me teach you?” Albert couldn’t help but frown when he talked about this. He himself knew how to use Apparition, but he couldn’t teach others, and he rarely used Apparition, so he was not familiar with it.
"No, of course not, Uncle Mog will teach me." Isobel shook his head and explained, "By the way, what happened to your plan to find two or three girlfriends now?"
"Come on, how long has it been? Don't tease me about this matter." Albert was a little embarrassed. This was one of his rare black histories, especially since this matter was actually reported to Isobel. Got it.
"Katrina is not bad. If it weren't for me, you might be able to do it." Isobel said to herself, "As for Miss Louise from France, it is said that she is also a beautiful beauty with a Veela. The bloodline, if it wasn’t so far away, maybe it would work.”
"How do you know Louise has Veela blood?" Albert asked in surprise. He remembered that he had never mentioned it.
“Uncle Mog said that the Delacour family has Veela blood.”
"Oh." Albert nodded, "Louise is indeed very beautiful, but unfortunately, no matter how beautiful she is, she cannot withstand the erosion of time."
“You are really annoying.” Isobel turned her head, a little unhappy.
Women hate talking about getting older.
Hertok provided them with Saclisa Tugwood's notes, but the Youth Potion still yielded no results. However, this is also a matter of course.
On the road leading to Hogsmeade Village, you can see students who have wrapped themselves up tightly. This winter is really cold. If you disperse to Hogsmeade Village, you might as well just stay in the castle and have a fire and drink tea. Come in comfort.
Albert asked curiously: "But Mr. Mogg is actually free to teach you."
"I find it incredible too." Isobel brought the topic back up: "But is it easy to learn Apparition? I'm actually very curious about how you learned to Apparate."
“Apparition is very uncomfortable at first, and you need to gradually get used to the discomfort caused by Apparition.” Albert carefully organized his words and described to the girl the process of learning Apparition.
“It’s incredible.”
When they first approached Hogsmeade, Albert noticed a huge black shadow walking towards them.
"what are you doing here."
Albert looked up at the visitor. Hagrid had snowflakes on his eyebrows and beard. He was wearing a huge, sloppy **** fur coat, and he was holding a cage covered with black cloth in his hand. I don’t know what is locked.
"Don't you want to get a dark creature?" Hagrid patted the cage on his hand and said with a smile: "I asked Aberforth to get me a Grindylow. You know, it is less dangerous. The dark creatures are actually not that rare, but they are more difficult to get in winter."
“It’s going to cost you, how much is that thing?”
"It's not worth a few galleons." Hagrid said in a low voice, "When you come here, I will tell you some interesting things. Now I have to go back and find a water tank to raise it to prevent it from freezing to death. "
After taking a few steps forward, Hagrid stopped again, turned around and said, "By the way, the thing you gave me last time was really useful, but it was a bit brittle and I accidentally crushed it. When will you come over?" When the time comes, bring me another one."
With that said, Hagrid waved his hand and walked away.
“Detection ball?”
"Yes, I just didn't expect him to spend money to buy it." When the two walked into Hogsmeade Village, Albert suddenly said, "Hagrid still cares about that matter."
“If it were me, I’d mind too.”
"Let's go to the Three Broomsticks for a drink first." Albert turned into the bar with the girl. It was too cold today. He wanted to drink some hot drinks to warm his body.
When Albert returned to the table with two cups of hot butterbeer, he saw Mr. Mogg already sitting next to Isobel.
“Are you in a hurry?”
“Today’s schedule is indeed a bit full.” Mr. Mogg nodded.
"So, it's really not about training for Apparition." Albert asked tentatively, "Do you have anything to do with me?"
“Not entirely, we’ll talk about it later.” Mr. Mogg ordered himself a glass of hot whiskey, pushed it in front of Albert, and asked with a smile: “Would you like a glass?”
“Forget it, to be honest, I don’t have much interest in drinking.”
"Not interested?" Mr. Mogg winked at Albert and said: "The sweet wine you made from Bitters is very good. Do you mind if I take some away? My wife likes it very much. She thinks that kind of wine is very good." It’s very suitable for making eggnog. I’ll treat you to a drink next time.”
Albert noticed Isobel staring at him, so he coughed slightly and corrected: "That's just a drink."
"If you are willing, that sweet wine will definitely sell for a good price." Mr. Mogg took a sip of hot whiskey and lowered his voice: "If you need helpers, we can help you. If you don't want to run the business, you can Just split the money.”
“It’s a bit surprising that you’d care about it.”
“No one would like to have too few galleons,” Mr. Mogg muttered. “Besides, it will bring us closer together.”
"That's right. Let's talk about it next time. I can't run away anyway."
“Christmas gift? You always bring me surprises.” Isobel said softly. After drinking the warm butterbeer, her body became much warmer.
"Come with me!"
Mr. Mogg smiled and greeted the two of them after they finished drinking the butterbeer.
"Today I will teach you some social etiquette. I don't know if you have learned it before, but no matter what, you have to dance well. There are some precautions." Mr. Mogg said with a smile, "Oh, don't show that You will use it more or less in terms of expressions and social interactions in the future, so there is no harm in learning more."
The two of them followed Mr. Mogg along the path to a remote house in Hogsmeade Village.
"By the way, this is for you. You may use it here in the future." Mr. Mogg handed the key to Albert casually, winked at them and said, "Of course, there is actually nothing here. But, wait... After Zebel graduates, you can secretly come here for a date, and it won’t be difficult to sneak out of Hogwarts anyway.”
Albert was immediately speechless and didn't know what to say.
However, he still quietly handed over the key and considered whether he should decorate this house. It would actually be a good idea to come here for dates in the future.
