Chapter 905
After successfully sending Yanila away, Albert was ready to get out of the way while other girls came over. However, many things sometimes do not go as planned. Albert was blocked by several acquaintances at the door of the auditorium.
“Would you mind dancing with us?” Angelina said with a smile.
“One for each person,” Alia added.
“You’re waiting for me here specifically?” Albert looked at the three people in front of him in surprise.
“Fred and George said you would definitely leave early.” Shanna blinked and looked at Albert expectantly.
“Those two **** really like to cause trouble for me.” Albert gritted his teeth and made a mental note for the two of them.
“Okay, one for each person, remember to help me later, I have been dancing all day.” Albert finally did not refuse, and stretched out his hand towards Shanna, making an invitation gesture.
Shanna put her hand on her. She actually knew that Albert didn’t want to dance anymore, but if such an opportunity was missed, he might not get it again in the future.
“You didn’t find a dance partner?” Albert led Shanna to the dance floor.
"I haven't found a suitable dance partner." Shanna said with a smile, "Besides, I'm not used to participating in such a dance."
Albert didn’t ask any more questions and expertly led Shanna around the dance floor. After the song ended, Shanna just said a gentle thank you and gave up her position as a dance partner.
Angelina stepped forward to take Shanna's place. Her dance became even more wild and unrestrained, forcing Albert to adjust his rhythm.
"You dance so well." Angelina didn't mind being taken away by Albert. She was in a good mood and just wanted to enjoy this short time. There must be countless girls looking at her with envy now. .
Angelina's replacement is Aaliyah. This person's dancing can only be considered quite satisfactory, but it is not difficult to see that she is very happy now.
When Albert finished three dances and was about to get out of the way, he found someone else standing in front of him.
“You won’t refuse, right?” Fleur took the lead in extending her hand to Albert.
Albert: “…of course.”
How could he refuse?
Fleur was very beautiful, and her dancing skills were not inferior to those of Yanila. But this guy was a swindler. After the dance, he didn’t help Albert get out, but just threw him to the group of girls.
Albert was helpless when he was surrounded by girls. The girls around him obviously did not intend to let him go easily.
He suddenly remembered that he seemed to have seen Hermione just now, so he used the excuse that he had already invited other girls to push aside the crowd and ran to invite Hermione to dance.
Krum saw someone running over to invite his dance partner, and the expression on his face was quite wonderful.
Hermione did not refuse, she obviously also discovered Albert's situation.
Under the resentful gazes of the surrounding girls, Hermione was led to the dance floor by Albert.
“It seems that you are in trouble.”
"Yeah, I'm in some trouble. Remember to help me after the dance." Albert said helplessly.
"Sometimes it's not good to be too popular." Hermione couldn't help laughing, "I think Harry and you must have something in common."
"Yeah, it's very troublesome." Albert said a little irritably, "Sometimes they are very irrational, forget it, I will ask Klum to help me get out later."
Albert ultimately did not ask Hermione to help draw firepower, and Krum was obviously a more suitable candidate.
“Looking for Krum?”
"The secret of the golden egg, I think he doesn't know the secret of the golden egg yet." Albert said calmly.
“Are you going to tell Krum the secret of the golden egg?” Hermione was very surprised.
"Karkaroff ran away. It is estimated that no one told Krum the secret of the golden egg." Albert saw Hermione's surprised expression and said calmly, "You don't need to be surprised. The Triwizard Tournament has happened throughout the ages. Sooner or later, other warriors will know about cheating cases. Don’t think too noble of others. Cheating is normal in school competitions. Even in international competitions, this kind of thing happens often. As long as it is not discovered, there is no problem. , that’s the underlying rule.”
“But you didn’t solve the secret of the golden egg yourself.” Hermione raised an eyebrow and said, “You didn’t cheat, did you?”
"It seems that you have overlooked one thing." Albert did not continue the topic, but asked, "Have you told Potter about the golden egg?"
Hermione hesitated for a moment and said, "Not yet..."
"Tell Potter, I don't care." Albert said confidently, "Honestly, it's not difficult for me to win the Triwizard Tournament."
"I will." Hermione breathed a sigh of relief. She had been hesitating to tell Harry the secret of the golden egg.
“By the way, thank you for the Christmas gift, the scarf you knitted yourself?”
“Well, I just learned it recently.” Hermione said with a slight blush on her cheeks.
“For a novice, you are already knitting very well.” Albert comforted softly.
The song came to the end, and Albert completed the last move and left the stage with Hermione.
As soon as they left, other girls who were eager to try came over and wanted to invite Albert to dance.
"Sorry." Albert declined politely and led Hermione towards Krum's position.
The Durmstrang warrior's face was a little gloomy, as if he was unhappy about having his dance partner taken away.
Of course, it’s possible that Krum has always been like this.
"You don't mind going for a walk with me, I have something to tell you." Albert said calmly.
“What’s the matter?” Krum asked gloomily.
“It’s something you will definitely care about.” Albert smiled and motioned for Krum to follow.
“Go ahead,” Hermione urged.
Krum hesitated for a moment, and finally, at Hermione's urging, followed Albert out of the auditorium.
"Sorry, I have to talk to Mr. Krum about some personal matters, please don't disturb us." Albert said to the girls.
“What’s the matter?” a girl asked.
"You are very rude." Albert said calmly, "I don't like rude girls very much."
While the girls were stunned, Albert took Klum away, and they finally turned into an empty classroom.
Krum looked at Albert who took out the parchment in confusion, not understanding what the other person was doing.
"Put the golden egg into the water and you will find its secret." Albert said to Klum after making sure no one was eavesdropping.
"Why are you telling me?" Krum looked at Albert in confusion. He really didn't expect that the other party would tell him the secret of the golden egg.
"Karkaroff escaped. I guess no one can tell you this secret. Other warriors will have a way to know the secret of the golden egg." Albert reached out and patted Krum on the shoulder and said, "If you want to thank me , help me deal with those girls later."
"What?"
"Merry Christmas."
With that said, Albert took out his wand and cast a disillusionment spell on himself, and disappeared directly in front of Krum.
The door to the classroom was suddenly opened, and Albert left directly, leaving Krum standing there blankly, looking confused. He was still recalling the meaning of Albert's words just now.
Perhaps, Albert never regarded other warriors as opponents from the beginning.
Because he is too strong.
So strong that no one else is qualified to be his opponent.
However, Krum soon stopped thinking about this, because as soon as he appeared in the auditorium, a group of girls surrounded him.
Klum was in a daze surrounded by a large group of girls. He actually had the illusion that Albert did not want to tell him the secret of the golden egg, but wanted to use him to get rid of these girls.
After using Krum to get rid of the girls behind him, Albert appeared in the secret room of Hogsmeade through the vanishing cabinet, and then used the time turner to go back to a few hours ago.
When he stuffed the time turner into the deformed lizard skin bag and came out of the secret room, Isobel was sitting on the lazy sofa by the fireplace in the hall reading a book.
“The dance is over?”
Isobel heard the familiar footsteps coming from behind and asked without raising her head.
“Not yet, I missed you, so I ran away midway.”
Albert reached out and picked up the book Isobel was reading, leaned down and kissed her on the forehead, and asked gently: "I didn't keep you waiting long, did I."
“Glib tongue, are you afraid that the girls will make you run away early?” Isobel said this just as a joke. She knew that Albert was very popular with the girls, but it was obviously impossible to run away in fear. Albert would definitely be able to find a way to get rid of the girls who came to him.
"Yes, they are indeed quite enthusiastic." Albert's face looked like it was yours.
“Where’s Katrina?” Isobel was more concerned about her sister’s affairs.
“I danced with Katrina for a long time until she lost her energy. I think she should be satisfied.”
Albert sat down on the beanbag opposite and stretched out his hands to rub his legs. He felt that he might have backache and leg cramps tomorrow.
The sequelae of sudden intense exercise without regular exercise, even a wizard cannot avoid this situation.
“Katrina should have a great time tonight.” Isobel looked at Albert and asked, “What about you?”
"Me? It's okay. You know, I don't really like the lively atmosphere, especially if there are no acquaintances around to chat, it will be even more boring. Moreover, I prefer that my dance partner is you. By the way, do you want to dance for a while? "
"I thought you had danced enough." Isobel was a little surprised. She knew that Albert didn't really like dancing, but she was quickly relieved because he didn't want to regret that he couldn't attend the dance.
"For you, I don't mind dancing a little longer." Albert said softly, "Come on."
“I’m going to change my clothes.”
"No, it's up to me." Albert took out his wand and waved it lightly, directly conjuring a new dress for Isobel. With the wave of his wand, the tables and chairs in the hall moved to the side, and the one by the fireplace The gramophone began to spin, and beautiful music sounded all around.
“This tune is great.” Isobel hummed the tune and said.
Albert made an inviting gesture toward Isobel, and the girl smiled and put her hand up.
The two danced to the music, spinning happily in circles, their figures moving gracefully through the hall. They danced together for a long time, and they did not stop until their faces were red from dancing and their hearts beat faster.
“It feels great.” Isobel stood up on tiptoes and kissed Albert on the lips.
Albert reached out and hugged the girl's waist, lowered his head and kissed her lips back, and it took a long, long time before they separated again.
“It feels great,” Albert repeated.
Both of them laughed.
After the furniture was returned to its original position, they sat on the sofa to rest.
Albert drank the mulled wine prepared by the house elf for himself. After resting for a while, he planned to go to the hot springs to relax for a while.
Isobel didn’t refuse. In fact, she was a little confused at first, but she got used to it later.
“There is an island country in the Far East where cherry blossoms bloom. Hot spring bathing is very popular there. The famous magic place is in that country. When we are free some other time, we can quietly travel to that country as Muggles.”
Albert looked at Isobel who entered the hot spring wrapped in a bath towel and said, "They also boil eggs in the hot spring to make half-boiled hot spring eggs. It is said to taste very good."
Isobel pulled over the wooden barrel floating on the hot spring, took a sip of mulled wine, and asked, "You seem to be very familiar with the Far East."
"Before becoming a wizard, I have been studying how to make money. In the Muggle world, money is very important. With money, you basically own most of the things. The Far East is a good place to make a fortune, so I spend I spent a lot of time researching it.”
"No wonder you care so much about money." Isobel leaned her head on Albert's shoulder and murmured, "But you are right. With money, it is indeed much easier. Before Katrina A while ago, he told me about opening a beauty shop in the future, saying it would be very profitable."
"What do you think?"
"If she is willing, I will support her. Then she can be sent to the United States to learn how to open a beauty shop with Kathleen and Valeria, and she can also stay away from this place of right and wrong." Isobel hesitated for a moment and said, "As for mom, I can't convince her."
“You didn’t explain it clearly to her?” Albert asked.
"She said it, but she didn't want to do that." Isobel sighed softly. Since her father's death, her work at St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Injuries and Injuries has been almost everything to her, even more important than taking care of her two daughters. Heart.
"Use the Forgetting Charm." Albert frowned and made his own suggestion, "I will send my family away next summer. You can go with my family, and they will take good care of her."
Isobel shook her head, not thinking this was a good idea.
“So, let’s use my last suggestion. After we get married, get pregnant as soon as possible and let her put down her work to take care of you.” Albert whispered.
Isobel’s cheeks turned red, but she soon realized that Albert was teasing her.
“It is necessary to take precautions against certain things before they happen.”
"If you don't get involved with the mysterious people, maybe they will..." Isobel hesitated for a moment and said.
"If I were not so dazzling, of course you are right. They would blackmail, win over, and even use the Imperius Curse to control them, but they would not kill pure-blood wizards at will. But... it is too late. Being too dazzling is destined to become a thorn in the side. , especially after we get married. If we are lucky, they will probably use the Cruciatus Curse to interrogate our whereabouts. If we are not lucky...so don't hold on to luck." Albert hugged Isobel and rested his chin on her shoulder. on, "Do you have any regrets, or want to delay your marriage?"
“Let’s use other methods then.” Isobel leaned her head on Albert’s chest and made a decision.
Albert heard the firmness in Isobel's tone and was very happy that the other party had made a decision.
After the two of them took a bath, they sat down and ate some late-night snacks specially prepared by the house elves. Albert didn’t eat much. He spent a lot of time watching Isobel eat and chatting about some messy things at the ball.
However, Albert soon became sleepy and fell asleep deeply on the sofa.
"Really." Isobel looked at the sleeping Albert's cheek and complained softly, but she also knew that Albert used a time turner, and it was probably very late when he came here, so the other party could run over to accompany him. She spent Christmas, and Isobel was very happy. If Albert didn't come, she might have to spend the holiday alone this year.
“Good night.” She kissed Albert’s forehead and said softly.
When Albert opened his eyes again, he found that he was already lying on the bed, and Isobel was lying next to him looking at him.
“Sorry.” Albert stretched out his hand to cover his yawn.
“Sometimes I think you are only suitable for your current age when you are asleep.” Isobel whispered softly. Albert was indeed much more mature than his actual age.
“Go to sleep, we’ll talk about something tomorrow.” Albert hugged his sweet-smelling girlfriend and fell asleep again.
