Chapter 813 Arrangement
“Going to Egypt to attend this year’s International Alchemy Congress?”
After hearing Albert’s proposal, Isobel asked in confusion, “Aren’t you planning to go to the Quidditch World Cup?”
"There is no conflict in time. After we finish attending the International Alchemy Conference, we still have time to rest for a while and then watch the Quidditch World Cup." Albert said with a smile.
"But…"
Isobel hesitated. After all, he had graduated from school and could no longer do as he pleased before.
"Anyway, you still have a lot of time to complete the "Guide to Ancient Magic Texts", and I hope you can live happily and not be upset by certain things." Albert looked at Isobel and said gently Said: "This opportunity is rare. Kathleen will also go. She wrote to me a while ago and mentioned this matter in her letter. Have they contacted you?"
"We talked about it in the double-sided mirror. They said that they opened a potion shop to do beautification for witches in the United States." Isobel nodded, indicating that she knew about it: "Valeria also asked me Can you arrange accommodation for them? It seems they plan to come to the UK in early August.”
“They can be placed in the hotel at the Leaky Cauldron then.” Albert said without thinking.
"Isn't this... not good? When you went to Catherine's house, it seemed..." Isobel hesitated a little. After all, the relationship between the two parties was not bad, and it didn't feel right to throw her friend into the Leaky Cauldron.
“That’s the nun’s house.” Albert corrected. "How about staying at your house for a few days. They probably won't be able to stay for a few days anyway. Then you can study the beauty potions."
Albert naturally does not allow people to be brought here.
"Let's talk about it then. If not, take them to the Leaky Cauldron." Isobel agreed. As for bringing Catherine and Valeria here, Isobel had never considered it, not even Katrina. Know exactly where the house is, let alone anyone else.
"That's it." Albert wrote this down in his notes, flipped through what he had recorded last night, and said to Isobel, "By the way, I need you to help me test something."
“What?” Isobel asked curiously.
Albert walked to the shelf and took down the suitcase on top.
Isobel knew that the suitcase was very vast, and it was like a small world inside. Not only did he build an exquisite wooden house, but he also opened up a large flower garden and planted a large number of roses and flowers. The house elf Pit took time to take care of the flower garden every day.
"I'm going to let Bit enter the suitcase, and then you will take the suitcase and apparate elsewhere to see if the apparation will have an impact on the people inside the suitcase." Albert left the study with the suitcase. Explain to Isobel what she will do later.
“Are you going to use this method to secretly take Nia to the Quidditch World Cup?” Isobel had already thought of the reason why Albert asked her to help with this test.
"Yes, you have to use some special method." Albert nodded and admitted, "I think this is more reliable than using a portkey or apparation."
Ordinary wizards without training would find it difficult to bear the use of Apparition to travel, not to mention that Nia is just an ordinary girl, and Albert will never let his sister take risks.
“Bit.”
“Master, what are your orders?”
The house elf appeared in the hall without warning.
"I need you to help me do an experiment." Albert raised his hand to signal Bit to listen to what he said: "I need you to get into this suitcase. Isobel will apparate with the suitcase later. You need to tell Me, what it’s like to be in a box and apparate.”
“Okay master, do you want to start now?” Bit asked sharply.
Albert looked at Isobel, who nodded to indicate that it was time to start.
He opened the suitcase, motioned for Bit to go in, then closed the suitcase again and handed it to Isobel.
However, Albert did not wait long, and Isobel came back.
The two opened the suitcase on the table in the hall and said to the house elf inside: "You can come out now."
“Master, is it over?” the house elf asked doubtfully.
“Yes, it’s over. Do you feel anything strange when you stay in there?” Albert asked directly.
“I don’t feel it.” Bit said truthfully.
"real?"
"real."
"Very good." Albert smiled and said to Isobel: "It seems that there should be no problem with my idea."
“A mobile house?” Isobel guessed what Albert meant by doing this.
"In fact, you can also invite Kathleen and Valeria to your home, and then let them live here. Later, I will ask Bit to set up a laboratory for brewing potions, so you don't have to worry about having no place to discuss. , studying beauty potions.”
“Wouldn’t it be rude to do this?” Isobel frowned.
"When the time comes, I will turn the entrance into a door." Albert is very experienced in this kind of thing. "Associate it with the entrance of your room. Then you will live in it and tell them that this is the door between you and me." My secret base."
"You are the only one who can do this kind of thing." Isobel agreed. She felt that it was not good to arrange Catherine and Valeria in the Leaky Cauldron.
Well, although it seems not good to arrange to live in a suitcase, Isobel will also live in it together. The two parties can do experiments and discuss issues in the field of potions at any time.
"By the way, Master." The house elf Bit suddenly said: "Yesterday, there was news from Gringotts. It seems that Mr. Lupin transferred a sum of Galleons to your vault in Gringotts. I have put the letter. It’s in the study.”
“I already know about this,” said Albert.
Since the Order of Merlin medal has been obtained in advance, the matter of hiring Lupin to test the spell has naturally come to nothing. Lupine wrote a letter the day after Albert received the Order of Merlin, stating that he had returned the large employment fee.
Albert didn't pay much attention to this matter. He didn't think Lupine would withhold the galleons. If he did, Remus Lupine would no longer be Remus Lupin.
After completing the experiment, the two returned to the study to discuss how to write the "Guide to Ancient Runes". The knowledge given to Albert by the level 3 runes skill was not comparable to that of "A Simple Introduction to Ancient Runes". With this part of In terms of knowledge, "A Simple Introduction to Ancient Runes" is not very qualified in Albert's opinion.
"We can sort out the information and then discuss this matter with Professor Bathsheda Bablin. She teaches ancient magic texts and her ideas in this regard are definitely clearer than ours." Albert wanted to give Yi Zabel turned to writing school curriculum, not wanting Isobel to follow her father's old path.
The knowledge and connections in his head can help Isobel succeed and be safe.
Isobel naturally understood what Albert meant, which was to write a new textbook for Hogwarts students.
"Actually, this kind of thing should be compiled by the Ministry of Magic by convening experts in related fields in the magic world. Most textbooks have a lot of problems. Textbooks in the field of ancient magic texts are not actually standardized. You should be able to feel it yourself. ." Albert encouraged, "Believe me, it won't be long before your name will definitely appear on the chocolate frog picture."
“You have great confidence in me.” Isobel’s expression was a little strange.
"Of course, if you are willing, you can definitely succeed." Albert said confidently, "We actually don't need to worry about our livelihood, let alone our work. We can do something more meaningful."
"In my opinion, Miranda Gorshak is more admirable than most wizards. The school textbooks she wrote have benefited countless people. A wizard who is good at ancient magic texts does not mean that he must be good at teaching. Books with prefaces are more conducive for students to grasp the knowledge in the book more easily.”
From Albert's point of view, the "Comprehensive Solution to Basic Magic Texts" written by McDoug and him is simply a big brick, but any wizard who has read that book will think that the foundation can be removed.
“This does make more sense.” Isobel looked at Albert and said softly.
