Chapter 357: Dead Cat
Albert didn't predict the winning lottery numbers, but he predicted what he would write in his notes in two days, so ...... He won the lottery.
Although only a few hundred pounds were planted, the experiment was undoubtedly a success.
The money was used for the Andersons' dinner to celebrate Nia's attendance at Casterton Middle School.
Since this time, Daisy has looked at her son's expression very strangely.
Herb was disappointed to learn that he had worked for several years, but the result might not be worth one of Albert's lottery tickets. It's also because they all like the profession of lawyers, otherwise they probably won't do it, and let Albert directly predict a big prize.
For the rest of the summer vacation, Albert stayed at home and did his holiday homework, because he was doing repetitive things every day, and he always felt that time passed very quickly.
On the last night of August, Albert was packing his belongings in his room when there was a knock on the door, and when it was opened, Tom was trying to get through the crack.
"Mom asked me to give this to you. ”
With that, Nia put a bag of candy next to the suitcase, then sat on the bed, looking at Albert, who was busy packing things, as if she was about to say something, but she didn't say it.
"When you go to Castellton Middle School, remember to find a few good friends and don't let people bully. Albert admonished without looking up.
"I've also learned karate. Nia reminded.
"It's not for you to fight with others. Albert pushed Tom aside, turned to look at Nia and said, "Don't be so violent, or you'll be disliked." ”
"And what are you doing with karate?" Nia pouted in dissatisfaction, she hadn't forgotten that someone had put down a few unlucky people at school.
"I'll learn karate!" Albert said without thinking, "so that people can talk to me calmly, of course!"
"Sophistry!"
"When the other party can't beat me, you say that he is willing to be beaten, or is he willing to reason with me. Albert opened a candy and threw it in his mouth, smiled and said to Nia, "By the way, there is one thing you have to remember. ”
"What's the matter?"
"What I gave you, don't show it off, ordinary people are very afraid of magic, and they may even do something irrational. Albert earnestly reminded, "You should learn to protect yourself. ”
"You're more verbose than your mother. ”
"That's right, here's for you. Albert didn't pay attention to the other party's complaints, and took out a pendant made of garnet and handed it to Nia.
This is the amulet he tried to make with Nicol when he went to visit Nicol, and by the way, the garnet was kindly provided by Nicol.
He was pleased with the finished product he had made in collaboration with Albert, and both of them had cast a powerful protective spell on the amulet.
"Amulet again?"
Nia took the amulet and looked it up and down, she thought it was more like a work of art.
"The amulet I gave you before is no longer valid, and this one in your hand should last longer, and this one I made for you after consulting with Mr. Nicol Lemay. ”
"You carved it?" asked Nia, incredulous.
The pendant is a phoenix reborn from the ashes, a very fine kind, and it is really beautiful with red garnets.
"Otherwise, your brother and I are so versatile, I don't know why my mother is always worried that I can't find a job. Albert nagged, "Remember, don't talk about magic, I'll have my family forward future letters." ”
"Got it. Nia took the necklace and ran downstairs to share the gift with Daisy.
Albert couldn't help but shake his head.
The next day, Albert woke up early.
It took him a long time to convince Tom to stay in the cage.
Despite the experience of his last trip, Tom still didn't want to be locked up.
After Herb loaded the suitcase onto the car, the family set off for King's Cross Station. They arrived at the station by 10 o'clock.
Herb helped unload the suitcase onto the trolley, while Albert said his final goodbyes to his family.
"Remember to write to me. Nia stepped forward and gave Albert a hug.
"When you find good friends at school, you'll leave me behind. ”
"No, it won't. "The girl was a little unhappy.
"Okay, take care of yourself when you go to school. ”
"I'm not a kid anymore, don't talk about these things all the time. ”
Herb and Daisy couldn't help but laugh, and both stepped forward to give Albert a hug, and Daisy kissed Albert on the forehead.
"Then I'm leaving. ”
Albert pushed the cart through the wall while no one was paying attention.
At this point in time, not many students had arrived, and the platform was deserted, except for the white smoke from the Hogwarts locomotive.
After finding an empty car in the middle compartment, Albert went in and closed the door of the carriage before releasing Tom from the cage.
The fat cat found himself in a strange place, seemed very insecure, sniffed left and right, and crouched on the table in front of Albert, staring at him with his eyes, as if asking Albert where he was going to take him?
Sheila in the cage next to her was shaking her head and looking at the back of Tom's head, if she hadn't been locked in the cage, she would have given the fat cat's head a blow.
Probably sensing that the back of his head was being remembered, Tom turned his head to stare at the owl in the cage shaking its head, licked his paws, jumped into Albert's arms, and meowed at the cage owl in a demonstrative manner.
The owl in the cage began to grasp the cage with its talons, as if preparing to come out and peck at the fat cat's head.
"Alright, stop making a fuss. ”
Albert hurriedly reassured the two pets so that they would not make a fuss in the carriage.
After a while, the platform began to be lively, and more and more wizards appeared here, sending their children on the train or saying their final goodbyes to their own children.
Albert looked through the window to look for the boy with the lightning scar on his forehead.
Although he knew that it was unlikely that he would find Harry Potter by doing so, he didn't mind thinking of it as an activity to pass the time.
Just then, a voice caught Albert's attention, and when he turned around, he saw Tom crouching in front of Sheila's cage, slapping the birdcage with his paws, provoking the owl in the cage.
What a death!
Tom didn't dare to do this before, did he know that Sheila was in a cage and couldn't get out?
Albert reached out to hold his forehead, ready to separate the two guys before they had a ruckus.
However, it was too late.
I don't know if Sheila suddenly got her senses, but she actually knew how to pick open the deadbolt on the birdcage with her claws, kicked the door of the cage open, and got out of it.
Before Tom could react, Sheila stretched out her head and pecked at it, causing a round of chickens and eggs to beat her in the carriage.
