Chapter 356: Seen
"Here, your bubble tea. ”
Albert handed a cup of bubble tea with ice cubes in front of Nia, and he sat down on the couch next to him, took a large sip, and narrowed his eyes comfortably.
Last time, I learned to make tea with Mrs. Perenal, not only learned the skills of making tea, but also ordered a very unmagical tea art skill, and the black tea I brewed was indeed better than before.
Daisy, who easily flipped through the tea making cheats, has also significantly improved her tea-making skills.
It's just that there is still a big gap compared to Madame Perenal, and there is no way, the price of top-of-the-line French black tea is there.
In order to eliminate Nia's complaints in the past few days, Albert bought a bag of glutinous rice noodles in the supermarket and made bubble tea at home.
Glutinous rice flour is not common in England, and it took him a long time to find it.
Bubble tea quickly became a favorite of the whole family, and it was really comfortable to have a cup on a hot summer day.
Feeling a sudden fluffy touch on his legs, Albert put down the cup, looked down at Tom rubbing his legs, leaned down and picked it up.
"It's useless to be coquettish, you're already 20 pounds. Albert scratched Tom's chin and placed it on the couch next to him.
When Albert returned, he found that his cat had gained weight again, and in desperation, he reluctantly carried out a weight loss plan so that he would not be able to run when he brought it to Hogwarts.
Albert doesn't really want to take Tom to school if he could, fearing that he would be bullied by those mischievous kids.
No way, there's no one to get along with.
In the past, Tom was left at home and Nia helped take care of her, but now that Nia is in middle school, Daisy and Herb can't take care of them if they are busy.
This stupid cat doesn't go out to forage for food on its own like Sheila, and if you don't take it to school, God knows what will happen.
You can't leave it in the care of Grandpa Luke, and although the two old men like Tom too, it's no excuse to leave the cat behind or give it to someone else to keep.
"I can't even hold Tom!" said Nia as she smoothed Tom's hair with a comb, "Grandpa Luke always said that Tom should be fatter and better-looking." ”
Albert suddenly didn't know what to say.
"Tom will get lost when he goes to school with you!" Nia was still a little worried, after all, they had been together for many years, and Tom was a member of the family.
"Don't worry, I asked an old friend to order a cat tag for Tom. Albert took out the cat tag he had asked Nicol to help with from his leather pouch and casually explained, "This thing has a positioning function. ”
As he spoke, Albert pulled out another compass, and the direction of the compass pointed to the cat's position.
"With this thing, Tom won't get lost. ”
"Magic is really convenient!" Nia enviously took the pointer and tried it, and couldn't help but sigh.
"No, magic isn't as convenient as you think, and we already have something like that on our side. Albert shook his head, "Unfortunately, the electrical appliances are not usable when they are brought to Hogwarts. ”
"Oh!" Nia replied casually, looking at the books spread out on the table, "what are you reading again?"
"Divination book, I'm teaching myself crystal ball divination. ”
Albert is flipping through the part about crystal ball divination in "Clearing the Fog and Looking into the Future", he has been flipping through the book for a few days, and there are no skills related to crystal ball divination on the skill panel, which makes Albert wonder if he has no talent in this area.
Now he regrets a little that he didn't ask Nicol Lemay for divination in the first place.
"If you can really see the future, you can't be the only one who can see it, right?"
Nia leaned her head in front of the crystal ball and looked closely, but there was nothing but a cloud of fog inside.
Tom next to him saw that no one was paying attention to him, and his paw wanted to dial the crystal ball, but Albert stopped him.
"Isn't that just self-taught? ”
Rather frustrated, Albert scooped up Tom, placed it on the ground, and explained to Nia, "One day I can really see the future, and I can make a lot of money with this." ”
"According to you, most wizards should be very rich, they just need to know the lottery numbers to win the jackpot. Daisy grunted as she placed a plate of cookies on the table.
"Wizards who can predict the future are always in the minority. Albert shook his head, "Also, most wizards don't have the concept of a pound sterling. ”
"Didn't you give Tom breakfast?" Daisy saw Tom put his head in front of the cookie and hurriedly took it away, and the fat cat didn't give up, and began to sell cute and cute things to beg for food.
"A little less than before, it's losing weight now. ”
"Tom seems to be hungry!" Daisy touched the cat's head, looked at her son and asked, "Anyway, didn't you want to study finance before?"
"I don't want to think about it now, I've found a better way to make money anyway!" Albert has completely abandoned his original financial dream.
"Prophecy lottery win?"
Daisy felt that her son, after two years at Hogwarts School, had become unreliable, and his mind was full of strange things.
"Ahem, I'm just talking about it casually!" Albert interrupted Daisy helplessly.
Prediction can really make money, it is completely possible to predict the outcome of a game, and betting on football and horses is not uncommon in Europe.
However, until there were actual cases, he knew that it would be difficult for others to understand.
At this point, Albert is also helpless.
Especially on the technology side, the ability to accept is generally poor.
Daisy was surprised that Albert went to visit the legendary Nicol Lemay, who was really alive, and had lived for hundreds of years, and did not suffer from Alzheimer's disease.
Shaking off the strange thoughts in his head, Albert returned his gaze to the crystal ball.
The wizard's crystal ball was not the same as the Muggle soothsayer's deceptive crystal ball, which was usually more expensive, and the one in front of him cost 20 Galleons.
Albert frowned slightly as he looked at the mist filled with pearls in the crystal ball, if he could really predict something, the fog on the crystal ball would be removed, revealing the picture he wanted to see.
Obviously, Albert failed.
The crystal ball in front of you is still a fog, not the winning numbers of this draw.
The so-called "clearing the fog and looking at the future" may refer to this, and the wizard who wrote this book must not have a talent for prophecy!
Albert began to flip through the books while speculating maliciously.
Suddenly, the white mist in the crystal ball swirled, and Albert immediately threw down the book and began to stare at the changes in the crystal ball.
Nothing has changed in the fog.
However, after he opened the panel and searched carefully, he found that a crystal ball divination skill appeared on the panel.
Albert immediately upgraded his skill to two levels, and then refocused his attention on the crystal ball.
At this moment, the fog of the crystal ball seemed to fade a little, and vaguely, Albert felt himself see a hand writing a string of numbers on the parchment.
