Chapter 666 The Troubles of Happiness
The two old men had already asked the house elves to prepare guest rooms for them. Albert slept with Isobel, and he secretly mentioned this to the Flamel couple before coming to France. After taking out their luggage from the seamlessly stretched leather bag and putting it away, they returned to the living room to drink tea and chat with Mr. and Mrs. Nico.
At first, Isobel was still a little restrained and didn't speak much. She sat quietly next to Albert and listened to him casually chatting with the Flamel couple about the recent events in Hogwarts School. The topic was gradually led to the Dark Lord, so that Leading to the prophecy mentioned by Nico Flamel last time.
Having lived for such a long time, Nico immediately guessed what Albert was thinking, and didn't care. He followed the topic and soon started talking about the Second Wizarding War a few years later.
Nico actually didn't predict this, but after listening to Albert's prophecy and the centaur's prophecy, he agreed with Albert's view: the second wizarding war may not be far away.
"The centaurs' astrology is very accurate." Nico recalled: "I have dealt with them, but..."
"Centaurs have very bad tempers." Albert interjected, "I have also dealt with centaurs, and they are not very friendly to wizards. Professor Dumbledore is probably a special case."
"Yes, Dumbledore can always become friends with many people." Nico smiled, "However, I think the topics they can talk about definitely do not include astrology. Dumbledore actually doesn't like divination very much, even though he I have actually done in-depth research on divination.”
“He has no gift for divination?” asked Isobel.
Her situation is probably the same!
In O． W． Ls got excellent results in the divination exam, but he also had no talent for divination and could not predict the future.
“Yeah, even though I got an excellent score in the exam, I still haven’t been able to predict the future through the crystal ball.” Nico smiled and said to Isobel, “Divination requires talent, and not everyone can be a prophet.”
"It seems that I am lucky." Albert knew that his divination ability came from the panel.
"I can probably understand Principal Dumbledore's thoughts." Isobel put down the tea cup and said helplessly: "There are too few wizards who can really peek into the future. If someone suddenly tells me that he can predict the future , my first reaction was that this guy is a liar.”
“Perenal also doubted whether I was a liar.” Nico recalled: “Fortunately, I used facts to prove that I am not a liar.”
“Nothing can convince others more than the truth.” Perenal poured another cup of black tea for Aitete.
“Karl, go to the study and get the crystal ball.”
After a while, the house elf carefully placed the crystal ball on the table.
Nico made a gesture of invitation to Albert.
Albert focused his gaze on the crystal ball. After staying there for a few seconds, the fog inside the crystal ball began to change.
He saw a box with two rings…
Isobel stared at the changes on the crystal ball carefully, her cheeks couldn't help but blush slightly, and she saw the scene of the two hugging and kissing.
"You shouldn't have let Albert predict it, otherwise there would be no novelty." Perenal put the wooden box on the table and opened it to find the two silver rings predicted.
"The ring made by goblins, it was once the wedding ring of Nico and me." Perenal pushed the box in front of Albert, winked at the young wizard and wizard and said, "Now, they belong to you. .”
Isobel and Albert looked at each other and pushed the box back to Mrs. Perenal.
“This pair of rings should be of more commemorative value to you!”
"We think it is more meaningful to give the ring to you." Nico said with a smile, "For us, it is more meaningful to watch you get married. Also, we are a little worried that the reserve of elixir will not last until then. .”
“What did you see in the crystal ball?” Albert asked.
“I saw that when you got married, we couldn’t attend.” Nico frowned and said, “The wedding didn’t go well, and some... very bad things happened in the end.”
"If I get married, I will definitely invite Professor Dumbledore to avoid those annoying guys coming to make trouble." Albert said calmly.
"Nico and I have discussed it, and the best way is to help you hold the wedding in advance. In our era, getting married at your age was actually very common." Perenaar asked the family to raise the child again. The elf took out two boxes, inside which was a delicate sapphire necklace, and on the other side was a tiara set with a large number of diamonds.
“A simple and private wedding can solve the problem once and for all.”
Actually, Albert also guessed that such a possibility was possible, but it still sounds incredible.
“Don’t we have to tell our families?”
Isobel was startled by the strange thinking of the two old people.
“Sounds a bit like an elopement.” Albert joked with a smile.
Although it sounds a bit ridiculous, Albert knows that the Flamel couple should do this purely out of good intentions. Sometimes it is not easy to change something.
At this point, Albert frowned again, because he found that if this happened, God knew what would happen in the future, and the best way would be to get married immediately.
"Let's discuss it for a few days first." Albert said to the two old men apologetically, "You also know that marriage is a lifelong event after all, and we cannot decide this matter hastily."
He knew that the other party had good intentions, but there was no better way.
"Don't worry." Nico comforted, "You have enough time to think about this matter."
“Mom won’t agree.”
At night, when the two of them were resting, Isobel said to Albert, “She always didn’t want us to get married too early.”
"She just doesn't want you to have a child too early." Albert said, putting his arm around the girl's shoulders. "I can understand that she is just worried that we can't shoulder the responsibilities of being parents. She thinks we are too young."
“It’s true, we’re even just kids.”
Albert did not answer the topic, frowned and said, "We have to find a suitable reason to reject their kindness."
“Are you worried about the prophecy?” Isobel guessed the reason.
“If the prophecy is true, this might be the best approach. But…”
“But what?”
"You should understand my character. I can't put us in danger when I know there is danger. Maybe, this is a conspiracy."
yes!
If you do that even though you know there are risks, isn’t that not seeking death?
Albert would certainly not do this.
“Conspiracy?” Isobel didn’t understand.
Actually, she was also very troubled. The Flamel couple must have done this out of good intentions, but getting married now was really...unacceptable.
They are all still in school. If others find out, God knows what will happen, and Isobel is not prepared.
"Don't worry, I have already thought of a way to convince them." Albert comforted.
“What are you going to do?” Isobel asked.
"Do you know my first thought after seeing the prophecy? If someone is going to cause trouble at their wedding, I will definitely set a trap and get them into trouble. For example, I will cooperate with the Ministry of Magic and let them arrange a fake wedding. , giving the Aurors a chance to ambush the Death Eaters."
It’s no wonder he thinks this way, Albert’s brain circuit is different from others.
"You mean..." Isobel frowned, "But I don't think this reason can convince them."
"Just in case, I decided to conduct divination on our wedding." Albert said his method, "Only with the results of divination can we persuade them to give up that idea. If the predicted result is like that, we will Let’s get married secretly.”
“You’re betting.”
“No, I just don’t want to make fun of our future.” Albert said seriously, “I won’t allow that to happen, do you understand?”
“Okay, in the worst case, we’ll elope.” Isobel agreed after hesitating for a long time. She actually also wants to have a grand wedding. Most girls have similar ideas.
That night, Albert upgraded his divination to level five, turning himself into a veritable master of prophecy.
In the end, his proposal was approved by the Flamel couple.
The white mist in the crystal ball was constantly billowing. In front of everyone's view, a wedding was being held. He saw Isobel in a formal dress, several acquaintances, his family, and Mr. and Mrs. Flamel. Seeing Dumbledore, there was no fighting, no death, a very ordinary wedding.
Finally, they saw a silver plate with a string of Arabic numerals engraved on it: 96715
“What was that at the end?” Isobel couldn’t help but breathed a sigh of relief and asked.
"This is the date of the wedding." Albert explained, this is the way I usually use, to let the future leave a message to the past. Although it sounds a bit incredible, it can be done. "
"The future has actually changed." Nico was very surprised. This kind of thing is rare.
"No, I think your prediction may be..." Albert hesitated for a moment, but still told the Flamel couple his speculation.
