Chapter 609 Code Word
This is definitely the most depressing Christmas vacation Katrina has ever had.
After Isobel and Albert went abroad for vacation, although her mother tried her best to spend time with her, she was still very busy and could not be seen all day long. Most of the time, she looked after the house alone and silently prepared food. It was just her My cooking skills are mediocre, so I didn’t have a good time during the entire Christmas holiday.
Perhaps you shouldn’t go home during the Christmas holidays.
I thought that even if Isobel went on vacation with Albert, she could spend the Christmas vacation at Uncle Mog's manor, but it turned out that Uncle Mog seemed to have...forgot?
Katrina sat at the desk, looking away from the parchment. She raised her head and looked at the falling snow outside the window. For some reason, she felt inexplicably lonely and sad.
Judging from the relationship between Isobel and Albert, they will probably get together in the end!
Mother has basically agreed, and her senses about Albert are also very good. Moreover, he would chat with her whenever he had free time during this period, and she also knew what her mother meant: He is your brother-in-law.
As for Albert, since they have invited Isobel to go on vacation, it means they have agreed.
Katrina looked at the photo with Isobel on the desk and sighed softly, "You really have taken advantage of all the good things."
Time passed day by day, and Isobel still didn’t come back.
Katrina finished all her holiday homework in a few days.
In order to prevent myself from thinking about strange things all day long, I spent most of my time reading by the fireplace, trying to surpass Isobel in next year's ordinary wizard level exam and prove that I was no worse than Isobel.
Why not Albert?
Katrina has completely given up on the idea of surpassing Albert. That is a further goal than surpassing Isobel.
Repeating similar things every day, time always flies by very fast. In the blink of an eye, the Christmas vacation will be over, and Isobel still hasn’t come back.
Just a few days before the end of the holiday, there were finally footsteps outside the door. In the light snowing weather, Isobel came back. She didn't feel tired after the trip. Instead, she looked very energetic. Even Katrina was stunned. Isobel seemed to be more beautiful than before.
Even if the other person is her sister, Katrina can't help but feel a little envious.
There is no woman who does not love beauty.
"What's wrong?" Isobel put down her suitcase, closed the door and looked at Katrina, who was stunned, and asked in confusion.
“I always feel that you have become more beautiful.” Katrina looked at Isobel up and down and asked curiously, “How did you do that.”
“She’s become more beautiful?” Isobel was stunned for a moment, then replied with a smile, “I probably know the reason.”
"what reason?"
At this moment, Katrina noticed that Isobel’s cheeks were a little red, and she didn’t know whether it was from the cold or the reflection of the firelight in the fireplace.
"Albert said that happy women are the most beautiful." Isobel hung the cloak on the hanger by the fireplace, turned to her sister and said, "I thought he was bluffing at first, but I didn't expect it to be true. .”
Katrina was speechless for a moment, feeling that she had really asked a stupid question.
“How is it abroad?” She found a new topic.
"The Muggle world is very interesting. Although they cannot use magic, they have created countless magical appliances." Isobel turned her head and looked at her sister and asked, "How was your vacation?"
"It's not good, mom still doesn't come back very often." Katrina muttered in a low voice, "You know my cooking skills are very average, and the food I cook is barely edible."
“Don’t look down on these cooking books. Although I can’t teach you how to use magic to cook food, you can still make delicious food if you cook by yourself.” Isobel pulled her suitcase upstairs.
However, this is not the worst thing for Katrina. The worst thing is that the entire book is recorded in words that she cannot understand.
“What text is this?” Katrina asked stiffly.
“Italian, this book was actually bought by Albert, he can understand Italian.” Isobel explained casually.
“Do you understand?” Katrina asked in disbelief. She couldn't believe that her sister had mastered another language in less than a month.
"I can understand a little bit. Albert translated for me last time." Isobel naturally didn't understand Italian, but as a genius, she had a very good memory. When Albert translated for her sentence by sentence, she I just wrote down the general content.
This book is not something she intends to use for cooking, but for reading Italian to deepen her impression. The girl does not want to be left too far behind by Albert.
“You are so powerful.” Katrina said discouragedly. She originally thought that the gap between herself and Isobel was not such that she could not see each other’s back, but now it seems that she overestimated herself.
Those two guys are complete monsters!
"What's wrong?" Isobel noticed that her sister looked a little depressed, so she gave her the gift she bought on Sicily.
A bottle of perfume.
The price can't be compared with Daisy's bottle.
“Aren’t you going to the Muggle world for vacation?” Katrina liked the smell of this bottle of eau de toilette, but she was still a little confused. Isobel definitely didn’t have any Muggle coins.
“Albert bought it,” Isobel said.
“He also gave you perfume?” Katrina raised her eyebrows.
“No, his family gave me a bottle.” Isobel would never mention the price of the perfume, because they didn’t know it anyway.
In the evening, Mrs. McDougal rarely came back early.
Listening to her daughter talk about some of her experiences in the Muggle world, and admiring the photos she took, we talked like this very late. I heard that Isobel planned to write a book about her experiences, and Mrs. MacDoug was also very supportive of her daughter. practice.
“It’s very warm in Sicily, there’s no snow, it’s not like winter at all.” Isobel didn’t notice the complicated look in her sister’s eyes, and said to herself: “By the way, I brought you a gift.”
It’s also a bottle of perfume.
Mrs. MacDougal did not pay attention to the perfume, but pretended to ask Albert's age inadvertently.
The conversation between the two sounded extremely strange to Katrina. She kept reminding Isobel about her age, Albert's adulthood and graduation time.
Katrina always felt that there was something in the conversation between the two of them, but she really didn’t understand what it meant.
However, Isobel understood it, her cheeks couldn't help but blush slightly, and she felt a little embarrassed. She didn't expect that her mother could see through the little secret in her heart at a glance, and reminded her that she should pay attention to the time issue.
It’s really weird!
Katrina looked at Isobel's reaction and knew that what they just talked about was very problematic.
What kind of riddle are you trying to solve?
She asked Isobel, but Isobel talked about getting married to get rid of her. The general meaning is: Mrs. McDougal reminds her that she needs to wait until Albert graduates from school before the two can get married.
Katrina didn't think that was what she meant. Before she could figure out the reason, two days had passed. Mrs. MacDougal took half a day off and sent the two of them to King's Cross Station to take the train back to school.
