Chapter 836 My sister’s friends
The youngest winner in history of the "Cairo International Alchemy Congress Pioneering Contribution Gold Award" was born!
Katrina was sitting in the restaurant, flipping through the headlines of today's "Daily Prophet", and found that she seemed to have seen a similar scene in the newspaper again.
Not long ago, the headline of the Daily Prophet reported the good news that Albert Anderson won the "Barnabus Finkley Award for Excellence in Spellcasting".
“That guy is really awesome.”
The girl read the newspaper article carefully and compared the report with what she heard from other people. She couldn't help but lose interest in the report. At least 70% of the content was made up.
She still remembered that Isobel said that Albert's self-introduction after winning the award was particularly handsome, which directly shocked the wizards who questioned his winning because of his age.
“Should I give up the Christmas ball?” Katrina guessed what Albert meant by inviting her to this year’s Christmas ball. She was actually very confused and even a little angry. However, Isobel had made it clear that she did not intend to go to the Yule Ball, and was willing to lend her her dress.
Katrina actually really liked Isobel’s dress, and it happened to match Albert’s dress.
Perhaps, she should give the opportunity to Isobel.
Putting down the Daily Prophet, Katrina raised her head and looked in the direction of the kitchen, and a busy figure came into view. Ever since Isobel invited her two girlfriends to her home, Katrina suddenly discovered that there was an extra house elf in her home without any warning. She was not only responsible for helping prepare three meals a day, but also helping with housework.
She once asked Isobel, what happened to the house elf?
“I borrowed it from someone, and I will go back after a while.”
This is the answer Isobel gave back then.
Find someone else to borrow a house elf?
Who would lend his house elf to others for a few days? Who are they trying to deceive?
Do you really look like a fool?
Of course, Katrina had no doubts that the house elf that appeared now was a servant brought by Isobel's two female friends. After all, they didn't seem to be able to take care of their own daily life.
But this possibility was later ruled out by Katrina, because when the beautiful girl named Valeria saw the house elf, she seemed surprised that there was a house elf in their home.
Moreover, Katrina always felt that the house elf looked familiar, as if she had seen it somewhere before. However, the number of house elves she had seen personally was really very limited, and she could count them with one finger.
Isobel actually borrowed the house elf from Uncle Mog's manor to help, and Uncle Mog actually agreed?
"Miss Katrina, breakfast is ready." The house elf Bit bowed slightly towards Katrina, waking the girl up from her meditation.
“Wait a minute, I’ll call them.”
Katrina got up and walked towards the second floor. She raised her hand and knocked on Isobel's door. When there was no response, she opened the door and went in.
There was no one in Isobel's room, but there was a wooden door on the ground in front of the bed. Katrina stretched out her hand to push open the wooden door in front of her and murmured: "Sister, how many things are you hiding from me?"
Behind the door was a staircase going down. Going down, she came to a corridor. Katrina walked to a door, raised her hand and knocked on the door gently, and said to the person inside: "Isobel, get up and have breakfast." .”
The door did not open, but the door next door opened first. Valeria, wearing a thin suspender nightgown, yawned and walked out of the room. She smiled and raised her hand to say hello to Katrina: " Good morning, Katrina.”
"Good morning, Valeria, breakfast is ready." Katrina's eyes couldn't help but turn to the bottom of Valeria's beautiful collarbone. She was a little envious of the other person's plump curvature. It is undeniable that Valeria is definitely The type that many boys like. In the past few days, Katrina was under great pressure from spending time with three beautiful women, and she almost had doubts about her own charm.
"Good morning."
The door next to her was also opened, and Isobel walked out with a slightly sleepy face.
At this moment, she has put on the beige dress she usually wears, looking pure and intellectual.
"Did you stay up late last night?" Katrina noticed that Isobel's face was still a little sleepy and couldn't help but ask.
“We did some research on roselle last night and tried to make it into a beauty potion.” Isobel covered a yawn. In fact, she didn't want to stay up late yesterday, but Valeria and Katherine, who were overly excited, pulled her to stay up late, resulting in her not getting enough sleep today.
“How did it turn out?” Katrina asked curiously. She has actually been paying attention to this matter, and she herself is also a beneficiary of those beauty potions.
“Not ideal.” Isobel shook his head.
"Don't listen to your sister's nonsense. The effect of Beauty Potion No. 17 is actually pretty good." Kathleen walked out of the room. She had already put on her usual cool summer clothes. "It just didn't achieve what Isobel wanted." It’s just the effect.”
“Adding lemon slices, rose petals and honey to roselle tea can also have a beauty effect.” Valeria said with a smile, “And it tastes very good and will give you a taste of love.”
“Stop it, you haven’t been in love yourself, do you know what it feels like to be in love?” Kathleen reached out and patted Valeria on the shoulder, asking her to go back to the room to change clothes.
“Secret love is also love.” Valeria curled her lips and turned around and entered the room.
"What kind of beauty effect do you want?" Katrina was even more curious. She actually knew that Isobel had been researching beauty potions, and had also collected a large number of beauty potion formulas for reference, improvement, and research, and had achieved considerable results. Remarkable results.
It is said that Kathleen and Valeria opened a beauty shop, and their business was quite prosperous.
However, none of those results seemed to satisfy the beauties in front of them.
“Delay aging.” Kathleen said without thinking, “Keeping your appearance ageless and youthful forever.”
“Is this really possible?” Katrina felt that they were all a little crazy trying to make themselves beautiful.
“Elixirs of immortality exist, why can’t there be elixirs of beauty?” Valeria’s faint voice came from the room.
"Maybe you should ask Albert for help. He should be considered an expert in this field. Moreover, I remember that his teacher is Mr. Nico Flamel. He may be able to provide you with some useful help." Katrina suggested. Although she didn't know the reason, she always felt that if anyone could invent that magical potion, it would probably be Albert.
“Nicola Flamel, is this Nico Flamel?” Valeria opened the door and came out, staring at Isobel with bright eyes.
"Yes. However, the Flamel couple have no research on beauty potions." Isobel glanced at her sister and changed the subject: "Okay, don't stand here talking, let's go have breakfast!"
Isobel did not dare to let Valeria and Katherine know that Albert had developed a prototype of a potion formula that could delay aging, especially when the output of that potion could not be determined. They knew it was undoubtedly a disaster, and in order to keep themselves young, the two in front of them might even do anything for it.
At least, Isobel never overestimated Valeria's integrity.
"The witness you are talking about must be Mr. Nico Flamel, right? However, I have heard that the Sorcerer's Stone seems to have been destroyed." Catherine suddenly understood the other reasons Isobel said. .
After losing the Philosopher's Stone, Nico Flamel may not have much time left. If they want the old man to be their witness, they naturally can't delay it for too long.
"Well, the Philosopher's Stone has been destroyed." Isobel did not deny the matter, but she didn't want to talk about it either, so she changed the subject and asked: "When are you planning to go to the World Cup?"
"The U.S. team has been quite competitive in recent years, and this time it finally made it to the top 16. I plan to go over and cheer them on. I happen to have friends I know on that team." Kathleen said: "We plan to Make a reservation for the campsite for tomorrow, and by the way, when will you go to the football game?"
"We'll probably go watch the last few games. Albert doesn't support any team in particular." Isobel actually doesn't support any team in particular.
"When the time comes, you can live in a tent with us, so you don't have to look for another campsite. This will also make it easier to discuss beauty potions together." Valeria said with a smile, "Do you think it's Kathleen? There will also be house elves helping us prepare three meals at that time.”
"Let's talk about it then. I don't know what Albert has planned. He seems to be planning to take his sister to watch the ball game." Isobel has no intention of living with them. There will be four of them here by then, and they will definitely not be able to squeeze in. of.
Katrina, who had been eating silently, suddenly felt like she heard something incredible.
The so-called house elf was borrowed from someone. From what Valeria said, it was obvious that the house elf would be with them at the Quidditch World Cup. Why did it sound like it belonged to Albert?
But isn’t Albert a Muggle wizard?
Sure enough, there is some secret that I don’t know about.
The woman’s intuition told Katrina that both Valeria and Catherine seemed to have other ideas about Albert.
Is this considered inviting a wolf into the house, or do the two of them have an unclear relationship?
She secretly looked at the three people who were talking, and was wondering if she should find an opportunity to chat with Isobel. She felt that her sister was so shrewd that it was impossible not to notice this.
