Chapter 772: Lies
After breakfast, the two of them left the hall together.
On the way to the Room of Requirement, Isobel suddenly asked: "Have you ever had a peek into Miss Granger's future?"
“Do I look like that?”
Facing his girlfriend’s almost accusatory question, Albert shrugged helplessly: I don’t have it, don’t slander me.
“That sounds like something you would do to me.”
The two stopped in front of the tapestry on the eighth floor where the troll beat the stupid Barnabas. Isobel turned her head and stared into Albert's eyes, raised her hand and poked his chest, and said seriously: "Although you are right Most of your friends are very nice, but I feel that you are a little too fond of Granger. You probably don’t know that many girls have noticed this. People who don’t know about it think you are planning to date Granger. Miss."
"How did they know that I wanted to pick up Miss Granger?" Albert deliberately showed a very exaggerated expression.
After being stared at by Isobel for a while, Albert had no choice but to put away the expression on his face and asked helplessly, "Okay, I was just joking, why would they think that?"
“Jealous, probably.”
“I think so.” Albert looked at Isobel with interest, waiting for her to continue.
"You know a lot of beautiful girls. Louise, Kathleen or Valeria, who you met a while ago, are all very beautiful girls. I don't think you will be interested in a little girl who has barely grown up. "Isobel took stock.
“You forgot to include yourself,” Albert added.
She didn't care and continued: "So, the only explanation is that you are very optimistic about Miss Granger's future. Making a friend since childhood is two different things from waiting for her to grow up, become an adult, and become friends with that person after she achieves something. concept, this is your area of expertise.”
"It seems that I am a very scheming person in your eyes." Albert couldn't help but teased, "Then what purpose do you think I have in approaching you?"
“Who knows?”
Isobel looked at Albert who had passed through the corridor three times and successfully opened the Room of Requirement and said: "Someone always has a strong purpose in doing things."
"My purpose?" Albert stretched out his hand to Isobel and said with a smile: "I just want to find myself a beautiful girlfriend who is pleasing to my eyes. After all, beautiful girls are a rare resource in school, so of course I have to start first. To be strong, lest someone **** you away."
“You have said this before.” Isobel reminded. She put her hand on Albert's palm and walked into the Room of Requirement together.
"Yes, that is my purpose. In fact, men are all visual creatures. If they see a girl who is particularly beautiful and has a compatible personality, they will not miss it easily." Albert gently hugged the girl's waist and placed a kiss on her cheek. After a kiss, he said lustfully, "So, when I saw you for the first time, I had already set my sights on you. It took me a lot of effort to finally give the most beautiful girl in the school to you. Get it."
Of course, Isobel would not take this seriously. She still knew very well what Albert was like back then, otherwise the two would not have gotten together.
“You really dare to say that.” Isobel was speechless, although she knew that some of it was indeed true.
"Isn't it the same for girls?" Albert said disapprovingly, "I dare say that most girls like handsome boys. As far as I know, Diggory is very popular among girls."
“Why don’t you talk about yourself?” Isobel asked in a funny tone.
"Handsome, rich and famous men will naturally be sought after by countless girls." Albert said matter-of-factly, "This is normal. After all, girls want a romantic prince charming to marry them, otherwise They don't gather in groups under the mistletoe at Christmas."
Isobel looked at Albert up and down and asked with a smile: "Prince Charming, do you mean yourself?"
“No, I actually can’t ride a horse.”
"According to what you said, Miss Louise, who has Veela blood, is more beautiful and open-minded than me, and she seems to want to pursue you. Don't you like her?" Isobel asked curiously.
"I like it. After all, she looks quite eye-catching. As long as her personality is not too bad, men usually won't refuse her." As soon as Albert finished speaking, he felt his waist being twisted hard, and he couldn't help but feel pain in his lower teeth. .
“Then why don’t you ask her to be your girlfriend?” Isobel asked pretentiously, “She must be very willing to be your girlfriend.”
"Because you definitely don't like a man who rides two boats." Albert sighed, "And I don't want to lose you."
“What if I agree?” Isobel said suddenly.
"I never thought I was that charming." Albert shook his head, "Besides, this is not France in the seventeenth century, but no one would be willing to accept the lover's tricks."
"You know very well." Isobel's expression became more and more strange, "You shouldn't have peeked into my future, right?"
"No, I promise. In fact, I basically won't peek into other people's futures." Albert reached out and groped in the corner on the right side of the room, seeming to grab something out of thin air. With a hard pull, a disappearing cabinet appeared out of thin air. in front of the two of them.
Isobel's face showed a little surprise, but soon showed an expression of surprise.
"Young Potter finally defeated the mysterious man in Hogwarts school." Albert said calmly: "Later, Potter also became the director of the Auror Office. In a certain Quidditch World Cup interview, I Potter saw Hermione next to him, and she seemed to have become...the Minister of Magic."
“Minister of Magic?”
Isobel was very surprised. She knew very well the situation of Muggle wizards in the Ministry of Magic, let alone climbing to the position of Minister of Magic.
"Maybe, who knows what will happen in the future?" Albert said meaningfully, "Prophecies are just prophecies after all."
“Sure enough, it’s just like your behavior.”
Isobel showed an expression that was indeed true. If according to Albert's thinking, Hermione really becomes the Minister of Magic in the future, there are obviously many benefits to becoming good friends with the other party. Even if Hermione fails to become the Minister of Magic, making a friend It doesn't hurt to be a good witch, not to mention that this person is also a good friend of the savior Potter, and Potter finally defeats the mysterious man. "
"Don't say that." Albert shrugged, "At least, I really want to be a good friend with her, and even if Hermione does become the Minister of Magic, it will be after who knows how many years."
“You call this: investing upfront!” Isobel said. “I know you’re good at it.”
“If you think so.”
“By the way, have you really never seen your future?” Isobel suddenly asked.
"No, it's been too long since I dared to look, and I didn't want to do that." Albert shook his head.
“Why?” Isobel was surprised.
“The unknown future is the future,” Albert said, opening the door of the disappearing cabinet: “And, I’m afraid of seeing something bad, so I won’t peek into my future unless I have to.”
"Is it the prophet's weird remarks again?" Isobel didn't ask, and walked into the disappearing cabinet, "See you later."
"see you later."
Albert looked at the closed disappearing cabinet and murmured, "Invest in advance? That's true."
Hermione is indeed a potential stock in Albert's eyes.
Perhaps the future Minister for Magic, after all.
Taking care of a good relationship is undoubtedly a very cost-effective thing. In the words of a businessman: this is a business that is sure to make a profit without losing any money.
What's more, Hermione might be able to influence some of the next things, or even trigger more panel tasks, so as to gain more experience.
Alas, Isobel saw so clearly that even Albert had to admit that he was indeed a very purposeful guy.
Of course, there are other reasons.
In his last life, Albert still liked Hermione, a smart character. Naturally, he was willing to become friends with people he once liked, and occasionally give him some help. It would be better if he could make the other person like him or admire him.
A little bit of male vanity, nothing more.
Whether it is interests, feelings, or inner feelings, Albert really can't find any reason not to improve Hermione's favorability and enhance the friendship between the two parties.
Facts have proved that Albert’s efforts paid off. He and Hermione had become very good friends.
After the Vanishing Cabinet was reopened, Albert walked in and appeared in a remote house on the edge of Hogsmeade Village.
Sunlight streamed into the hall through the window. Isobel was sitting on the sofa waiting for her. The house elf had already brought two cups of black tea.
Albert reached out and took down a note from the bookshelf next to him, and sat down next to Isobel. He threw the note aside, took a sip of the black tea, and asked, "By the way, we want to read it together during the summer vacation." Quidditch World Cup?”
“The two of us?”
“I can shamelessly go with your family.” Albert said with a smile, “There is an Easter party there tomorrow. Then I will ask if I can help get tickets for the finals.”
“Mom may not be free.”
“It doesn’t matter, we can go together then.”
After ending the topic of going to the Quidditch match, the two began to talk about what was in the notes and gradually perfected their transformation plan.
