Chapter 12: Before School Starts

Summer holidays always pass very quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it is the end of August, and it is not far from the start of Hogwarts.

It would be false to say that he was not looking forward to going to Hogwarts to attend school, although Albert preferred to stay at home and continue to fish for a while.

Time waits for no one, though.

When it comes to magic, it's never a good idea to fumble one-sidedly, like a blind man with a cane to find his way, and no one knows what's ahead?

Albert still knew nothing about magic, even though he had read all the books.

He and Truman still maintained a pen pal relationship of one letter in three days.

The Hufflepuff student's grades could only be regarded as average, and the little knowledge in his head was hollowed out by Albert in a few days.

Truman thought that Albert might be sorted into Ravenclaw because of his great interest in magical knowledge, which he regretted.

It would be assigned to that house, Albert didn't care. As long as you don't go into Slytherin, Muggle wizards are not welcome there. However, as Albert Muggle wizard, it is estimated that he will not be able to enter Slytherin.

"It's been a hard day, have a good rest. Albert touched the owl's head and put some food in the birdcage.

Albert was quite satisfied with the owl, at least after he asked for it again and again, and Shira never returned with her prey.

He believed that Daisy wouldn't like to find a dead mouse while cleaning her room.

Sheila squealed tiredly, went into the cage to eat, and got ready to rest, completely indifferent to Tom's bared teeth next to her.

"Don't mess with Tom. Albert picked up the shorthair and went downstairs for breakfast.

Today, Herb is free at home, and he has recently taken a liking to the Daily Prophet and has shown great interest in the moving newspaper.

Daisy would also get together to read the Daily Prophet, hoping to learn more about the wizarding world.

"In the morning, I made corn bisque. Daisy smiled and filled her son a large bowl of soup, which she knew Albert loved.

"Then I don't have to drink milk. "Nia looked happy, she hated having to drink milk every day.

"Of course, you still have to drink. Daisy placed a glass of milk in front of her daughter.

"Albert has learned new magic again. Nia glanced at the milk and quietly changed the subject.

She had learned this trick from Albert, and the girl planned to pour the glass of milk into Tom's cat's bowl while her mother was not looking.

"Nia. Daisy appeared behind her daughter at some point, her hands on her hips, and she watched it all.

"Mom, I make breakfast for Tom, he loves milk. Nia hurriedly quibbled.

"It's okay Nia, I still have it 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 but grumble.

"Doesn't Albert drink every day?" Daisy reminded, "and he's never complained." ”

"It's different, I haven't seen what Albert hates to eat since I was a kid. Nia was a little depressed, her family always liked to use Albert to block her, "You can't always compare him to me, that's a special case." ”

"Yes, your brother didn't like cheese before. Daisy raised an eyebrow and said, "Still, he 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 repulses, especially those that have a particularly strong taste, and he doesn't eat them. Herb also found it very interesting, and now thought that his son was really not a picky eater, even if it was a food that children hated.

"Children who are not picky eaters grow taller. Albert said without thinking.

"What am I going to do when I'm that tall?" retorted.

"If you grow taller, you will be more beautiful. Albert reminded, "Mom is an example. ”

Daisy apparently liked the phrase and smiled even more.

"Sycophants. Nia muttered, reluctantly finishing the milk under Daisy's "loving" gaze.

However, she gave Albert half a glass on the grounds that she would drink more milk so that Albert would grow taller and as handsome as his father.

Daisy and Herb are both tall types, and because of their professions, they usually pay more attention to dressing up, and their figures are well maintained, and more importantly, they are still very young.

Originally, Herb planned to take his family to the zoo while he was free today, and school was about to start, and Albert was going to Hogwarts again, so it was estimated that there would be no chance to go out together this year.

However, after Albert said that he didn't want to go, Nia also said that the zoo was boring, so the family changed their original plan and nested in the living room to chat and watch TV.

Nia wanted to ride a toy broom, but was sternly rejected by Herb because the last time she rode the broomstick she almost crashed into the TV.

The living room is not large enough, and it is not appropriate to ride a broom outside, so it is difficult to explain it when it is seen.

So, the toy broom that Luke had just bought for Nia was locked in a cupboard by Herb.

In fact, Albert also rode a toy broom once, which gave him the illusion that he was not suffering from the second disease, and the toy broom did not fly high, so he felt bored and never tried it again.

However, for Nia, who doesn't know what the second disease is, flying freely on a broom is obviously very tempting.

After watching TV for a while, Daisy went to the kitchen to prepare black tea and cakes, and the family of four plus a cat read "The Tales of the Poet Bean" in the living room.

This storybook is a fairy tale from the wizarding world.

The fairy tales in it are still 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 daughter of the local king, smeared a living potion of hell on a spindle. She seduces the young princess to touch the spindle and keeps her awake.

Later, a wizard smeared an invigorating potion on his lips and kissed the princess to wake her up.

Well, the magical version of Sleeping Beauty does have a little less romantic feeling. However, the family listened to it with great relish, and they didn't know what the Living Hell Potion and the Boosting Elixir were.

At the moment, the Anderson family is reading the story of the three brothers, and each person takes turns reading the previous paragraph, which is very interesting.

"Is there really a stone that can resurrect people?" asked Nia, curious.

The wizarding world is full of possibilities, and since the alchemist Nicol Lemay may have lived for hundreds of years using the legendary Philosopher's Stone, it seems not impossible to have a stone that can bring people back to life.

"Nia, there's no such thing in the world. "And, as you should have heard, the lover of the second of the three brothers is not really resurrected. ”

"It's a fairy tale, and there's a saying that fairy tales are all lies. Albert said with a smile.

"Albert is so annoying, can't you give me something to look forward to?" Nya couldn't help but grumble, of course she knew that fairy tales were fictional.
