Chapter 603 Reconciliation
“I’m going back to sleep.”
Katrina was not interested in the topic her sister and mother were talking about, and was about to get up and go upstairs to rest. In fact, she didn't want to continue to see Isobel showing off her boyfriend in front of her.
Mrs. McDougal looked at Katrina's back walking upstairs, frowned slightly, and then looked at Isobel.
"Maybe, we shouldn't talk about this topic." Isobel took a sip of the hot cocoa, "She probably... likes Albert a little bit."
Mrs. McDougal suddenly looked up at Isobel, suddenly not knowing what to say.
"I think Katrina has a crush." Isobel put down the cup and slowly stirred it with a silver spoon. "She entered school in the same class as Albert, so she probably thought that I... Anyway, don't expect me to let go."
“Who is he and your sister?” Mrs. MacDougal asked in a low voice.
“Probably we are friends.” Isobel shook her head and said, “Since Albert invited me to go on vacation together, you shouldn’t be able to guess our relationship.”
“Oh, what are these things!” Mrs. McDougal sighed softly. Ever since she found that Isobel made her worry less, she had neglected her daughter’s education a little.
“Have you talked to Katrina?” she asked.
"It's useless. The more you persuade her about some things, the more she will resist. We can only wait until she grows up and figures it out on her own, and the problem will be solved." Isobel looked up at her mother and said softly: "Probably. I put too much pressure on Katrina, causing her to try to compete with me in everything she did.”
"It seems that I, as a mother, have failed too much." Mrs. McDougal murmured, "You have worked hard these years. Christmas holidays are fun. If the opportunity is right, you must seize the opportunity. As for Katrina Over there, I will take more time to talk to her recently."
Katrina had no idea about this. She was burying her face in the pillow and letting her head completely empty. What Isobel said just now sounded in her mind: I think Cedric Diggory is good.
Katrina naturally knows something about Cedric Diggory. The boy her female companions have been talking about the most recently is Cedric. They could always talk about his academics, Quidditch and good looks, and everyone knew he would be Hufflepuff's prefect next term.
Katrina knew exactly why they stopped talking about Albert. It was never the fact that Albert had a girlfriend that scared them. It's because Isobel puts too much pressure on everyone. Her sister is always so flawless that few girls dare to secretly slander her behind her back.
If it were any other girl, I'm afraid she would have to endure terrible pressure.
Perhaps, she should be proud of this, but if she treats such a person as an opponent, no matter who she is, she will quickly realize that she has made a stupid decision.
yes!
Pretty stupid.
How could Katrina not realize that Albert meant to invite Isobel to go on vacation together.
From the beginning, the other poor girls had no chance.
She truly deserves to be her sister!
“Let nature take its course!” Katrina said to herself.
…
Albert, who was far away on Tibey Avenue, faced a similar problem. Naturally, he could see that Nia still had "hostility" towards Isobel.
I need to have a good talk with Nia, otherwise it will be more troublesome if it breaks out while on vacation.
A few minutes later, Albert knocked gently on Nia's door.
“Sleep!”
Nia said with her back to the door.
"Mom made some eggnog. I thought you would like it, so I brought some for you." The voice came in as the door opened.
“What on earth do you want to do, you guy!”
Nia sat up from the bed and glared at the guy who broke into her room.
Albert put the eggnog on the bedside table, pulled up a chair for himself and sat next to the bedside.
“No!” Nia said angrily.
“I didn’t want to bribe you with eggnog.” Albert suddenly grinned, “Actually, I can read minds!”
“Liar, that’s just a trick.” Nia picked up the glass of eggnog and took a big sip. It was very sweet and had almost no alcoholic taste. After drinking it, her body became warmer.
"You are thinking now that I brought you a glass of wine tonight, am I doing it with bad intentions, right?" Albert put his hand on Nia's head and ruffled her hair, "Okay, don't always I’m thinking about some random things.”
"Damn it, can you really read minds?" Nia reached out and opened Albert's hand and muttered, "And I'm not thinking about any random things."
“Drink, I’ll ask you something.”
"What's up?"
"Do you really hope that your brother and I will be alone in the future?" Albert's words made Nia freeze in place, and even secretly moved her head away from meeting his eyes.
“Although there are indeed many wizards in the magic world who never got married.” Albert sighed softly.
"real?"
Albert stretched out his hand to fish Tom over, rubbed his fat belly and complained, "You really think so, it's really sad."
"Actually, there are only a few wizards in the British wizarding world. There are only about thirty or forty students in a class of Hogwarts. There is no doubt that many wizards can't even find a suitable partner in the end. They look for ordinary people, Or it’s not uncommon to end up alone.”
"I'm just worried that you will be deceived by them." Nia held the wine glass in both hands and whispered with her head lowered.
"I can easily see through whether others are lying to me. As long as I am willing, it is actually very difficult for me to be deceived by others." Albert explained softly.
"Anyway, you are right about everything. I have never beaten you in this aspect since I was a child."
"Actually, wizards are not allowed to have too much contact with ordinary people." Albert didn't care about Nia's words and said to himself, "The magic world in the entire world implements the "International Statute of Secrecy." Wizards need to cut off contact with Most of the connections between ordinary people, and family members are no exception.”
"After graduation, you will leave us completely?" Nia suddenly raised her head and stared into Albert's eyes.
“The situation is not easy to say.”
Albert looked at his sister and explained calmly: "Of course, there are actually many ways to get around the law. The laws in the magical world are actually very loose. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are full of holes. In most cases, as long as they are not If someone else finds out, it’s not illegal.”
Nia opened her mouth, not knowing what to say.
“I can easily win the jackpot through divination.” Albert gave an example. “This practice is actually illegal in the magical world.”
"Of course, if I pass you, it won't be illegal." Albert continued: "After all, you won the lottery, not me. I have said before that I need your help, are you willing? "
"what do you want to do?"
"Be my vest." Albert said mysteriously, "Help me manage the wealth of the ordinary world?"
“I thought you weren’t greedy for money.” Nia had not forgotten Uncle Charlie, who had already made a fortune.
"I'm not greedy, but people can't live without money." Albert said calmly, "With money, you can have more choices, live a more comfortable life, and do a lot of things you want to do."
“How do you plan to make money, buy lottery tickets.” Nia asked curiously. Although she was not greedy for money, but as Albert said, people cannot live without money.
"It's finance." Albert said softly, "I plan to speculate and make a fortune in the economic crisis. The time has not come yet, and I will tell you what to do when the time comes."
“Is this why you wanted to study finance before?” Nia didn’t understand those things at all.
"Yes." Albert seemed to have seen through his sister's thoughts and comforted, "It doesn't matter if you don't understand. When the lottery wins, you can spend money to find a professional team to help with these things."
“Okay, nice to work with you.” Nia shook hands with Albert.
Hmph, you will never leave us unless you don’t even want the money.
