Chapter 12: before school starts
Chapter 12 Before school starts
Summer vacation always flies by very quickly, and it’s the end of August in the blink of an eye, and it’s not far from the start of Hogwarts.
It is a lie to say that he does not look forward to going to Hogwarts to study, although Albert prefers to stay at home and continue fishing for a while.
However, time waits for no one.
In terms of magic, it’s never a good idea to **** unilaterally. It’s like a blind man exploring the way with a stick. No one knows what lies ahead?
Albert still knows little about magic, even though he has read all the books.
and Truman still maintain a three-day pen pal relationship.
This Hufflepuff student's grades can only be regarded as mediocre, and the little knowledge in his head was emptied by Albert within a few days.
Truman thought Albert might be sorted into Ravenclaw, because he showed great interest in magical knowledge, and he regretted it.
Will be assigned to that academy, Albert doesn't care. As long as you don't go into Slytherin, Muggle wizards are not welcome there after all. However, as Albert's Muggle wizard, he might not be able to enter Slytherin.
"It's been hard work, take a good rest." Albert touched the owl's head and put some food in the cage.
Albert was quite satisfied with this owl. At least after he asked repeatedly, Sheila never brought back any prey.
He believed that Daisy would not like to find dead mice when cleaning the room.
Sheila let out a weary cry, went into the birdcage to eat, and was about to take a good rest, completely indifferent to Tom's bared teeth beside her.
"Don't mess with Tom." Albert picked up the short-haired cat and went downstairs to have breakfast.
Today, Herb is free at home. He recently liked the Daily Prophet and showed great interest in this moving newspaper.
Daisy will also get together to watch the Daily Prophet, hoping to learn more about the magic world.
"In the morning, I specially made corn soup." Daisy smiled and served her son a large bowl of thick soup. She knew that Albert liked this soup.
"Then I don't need to drink milk." Nia looked happy, she hated having to drink milk every day.
"Of course, I still want to drink it." Daisy put a glass of milk in front of her daughter.
"Did Albert learn new magic again?" Nia glanced at Milk and quietly changed the subject.
She learned this trick from Albert. The girl planned to pour the glass of milk into Tom's cat bowl while her mother was not paying attention.
"Nia." Daisy appeared behind her daughter at some point, with her hands on her hips, staring straight at all this.
"Mom, I'm going to prepare breakfast for Tom, he likes milk." Nia quickly quibbled.
"It's okay, Nia, I have some more here." Daisy poured another glass of milk and put it in front of her daughter, not forgetting to ask, "Remember to drink it all."
"I hate drinking milk every day." Nia couldn't help complaining.
"Don't Albert also drink every day?" Daisy reminded, "He never complained."
"It's different. I haven't seen Albert hate eating anything since I was a child." Nia was a little depressed, and her family always liked to use Albert to block her words, "You can't always compare him with me, then It's a special case."
"Yes, your brother didn't like cheese very much before." Daisy raised her eyebrows and said, "However, he also eats cheese now."
"Liar." Nia didn't believe it at all, because Albert's potato pancakes had plenty of cheese and ham on them.
"It's true, there are some cheeses that Albert rejects, especially those with a strong taste, so he won't eat them." Heb also found it very interesting. Now thinking about his son, he is really not a picky eater, even if he is a child Very nasty food, also eat it.
"Children who are not picky eaters grow taller." Albert said without thinking.
"What do I want to be so tall for?" Nia retorted.
"The taller you are, the more beautiful you will be." Albert reminded, "Mom is an example."
Daisy obviously liked this sentence, and smiled even more happily.
"Sycophant." Nia muttered, and under Daisy's "loving" gaze, she finished the milk reluctantly.
However, she shared half a glass with Albert on the grounds that she drank more milk so that Albert could grow taller and be as handsome as her father.
Both Daisy and Herb are tall and slender, and because of their occupations, they usually pay more attention to dressing up and maintain a good figure. More importantly, they are still young.
Originally, Herb planned to take his family to the zoo when he was free today. School was about to start, and Albert was going to Hogwarts again. This year, he probably wouldn't have the chance to go out together.
However, after Albert expressed that he did not want to go, Nia also expressed that the zoo was boring, so the family changed their original plan and chatted and watched TV in the living room.
Nia wants to ride a toy broomstick, but Herb sternly rejects it, because the last time she almost hit the TV with a broomstick.
The space in the living room is not big enough, and it is not suitable to ride a broom outside. It is difficult to explain when people see it.
So, Herb locked the toy broom that Luke just bought for Nia into the cabinet.
Actually, Albert also rode a toy broom once, which made him have the illusion that he was suffering from a second-school illness.
However, for Nia, who doesn't know what the second illness is, it is obviously very tempting to fly freely on a broom.
After watching TV for a while, Daisy went to the kitchen to prepare black tea and cakes. The family of four plus a cat read "The Tales of Beedle the Poet" in the living room.
This storybook is a fairy tale from the wizarding world.
The fairy tales in it are a little different from the stories they have heard before, such as Sleeping Beauty.
The story is about a medieval banshee who, jealous of the beauty of the local king's daughter, smears a living **** potion on a spindle. She lures the young princess to touch the spindle and puts her in a long sleep.
Later, a wizard puts a stimulant on his lips, and kisses the princess to wake her up.
Well, the magical version of Sleeping Beauty is indeed a little less romantic. However, the family listened with gusto, even though they didn't know what Potion of Living Hell and Invigorating Potion were.
At the moment, the Andersons are reading the story of the three brothers, and it's interesting that each person takes turns reading a paragraph.
"Is there really a stone that can resurrect people?" Nia asked curiously.
The magical world is full of infinite possibilities. Since the alchemist Nicolas May may have used the legendary Philosopher's Stone to live for hundreds of years, it does not seem impossible to have a stone that can resurrect people.
"Nia, there is no such thing in the world." Herb reminded, "Also, you should have heard that the lover of the second child of the three brothers has not really been resurrected."
"This is a fairy tale. There is a saying that fairy tales are deceiving." Albert said with a smile.
"Albert is really annoying, can't you give me some expectations?" Nia couldn't help complaining, of course she knew that the things in the fairy tales were all fictitious.
