Chapter 342: Young ...... person
"I feel the same way. Mr. Delacour said something that puzzled Albert, and then reached into his pocket and took a piece of parchment from his pocket and handed it to him.
"Hertok asked me to give it to you. He said.
Albert took the parchment suspiciously, the handwriting on it was indeed somewhat like that of Mr. Dagworth, and asked himself if he had come over to help him.
As for what to help, the letter didn't say anything, because there was only such a sentence written in it.
Albert glanced at Mr. Delacour, waiting for an explanation.
"Hertok will contact you personally shortly. "He knows you don't trust a stranger casually. By the way, my name is Adrien Delacour, the younger brother of the helpful Mr. Delacour you spoke about last time, and by the way, I am also a pharmacist. ”
Albert was stunned when he heard this, and looked up and down at the man in front of him, who called himself Adrian Delacour, and remembered that the girl should be about the same age as himself, and that the daughter of Mr. Adrien Delacour, Louise, was at least four or five years older than him.
Are you sure it's the older brother, not the younger brother?
"Is there any problem?" asked Adrien Delacour, noticing the surprise on Albert's face, curiously.
"I don't see the pharmacist's rigidity in you. Albert said with a strange expression, no way, this guy in front of him is too jumpy, more like to make trouble than the Weasley twins.
In Albert's mind, most pharmacists were a bit old-fashioned, Snape was the best example, and Mr. Dagworth had that little tendency. ”
"Aren't you old-fashioned at all?" said Mr. Delacour, blinking, "and he'll be in touch with you soon, and if you're interested, you can come over and help, it's a good experience." ”
"I can't leave my family here, they don't speak French. Albert shook his head and refused.
"No, no, I don't mean now. "We'll meet again," explains Mr. Delacour, "and the cured meat here is very good, so you have to try it." ”
Mr. Delacour left with his daughter, leaving behind the inexplicable Andersons. Albert briefly chatted with his family about what they were curious about.
"Are there really werewolves in this world?" asked Nia with a wink. Although she had read some of the wizarding books Albert had bought, she was still interested in the legendary creatures.
"Well, there are ......"
Albert casually said something about the werewolf, and simply bluffed it.
Daisy is more curious about the magical world that drinks potions that make people prettier, and women are always interested in how to make themselves pretty.
"Beauty potion, a potion that makes people more beautiful and attractive when drunk. Of course, this is like wearing makeup, you need to drink it often, and I don't know if there are any side effects from drinking too much. Albert thinks that potions should not be drunk too much, and that medicine is poisonous.
Daisy fell silent, considering whether to ask Albert to buy her a bottle and try it out.
There is no woman who doesn't want to be beautiful.
"Ahem!" Herb interrupted with a dry cough, as if guessing his wife's thoughts, "If you add up all those strange things, will you really be fine if you drink them?"
Herb had been to the pharmacy and was really insensitive to the ingredients.
"If you want to be pretty, you should exercise more, eat healthily, be in a good mood and use less weird things. Albert said to Nia seriously.
"If it had worked according to your words, many people would have done that a long time ago. Nia pouted, apparently not believing Albert's fool.
"That's because most people can't do it. ”
"You still tell us if you can't do it. Daisy said angrily.
She faltered.
In the evening, Albert received a letter from Mr. Dagworth, who sent him a mirror.
"A two-way mirror?" Albert looked at the two-way mirror in front of him with interest.
"What's that?" asked Nia.
"A two-way mirror, something like a telephone, can communicate face-to-face through two magic mirrors. Tom, don't miss your ass, be careful of crushing the mirror. Albert reluctantly picked up Tom, just like a cat likes to dominate the keyboard while others are playing on the computer, and likes to squat on the book when others are reading, Tom sometimes uses this way to attract the attention of the master when others ignore it.
"That's great, if we have this, we can see each other more often in the future and don't have to write letters anymore. Nia's eyes lit up and she said excitedly.
"The manufacture of this magic mirror has been lost, and the number of double-sided mirrors on the market is scarce, and I also considered buying a pair before, but unfortunately I couldn't find it. Albert explained as he moved Tom away, he didn't want the fat cat to crush the mirror.
The next moment, a voice calling for Albert came from the mirror, and then, Mr. Dagworth's face appeared in the mirror, it was a slightly tired face.
Tom was startled, jumped to the side, and soon cautiously leaned over again, clawing at the man in the mirror.
"Long time no see, Mr. Dagworth. Albert pulled Tom's paw away lest he scratch the mirror.
"It's been a long time since I've seen Albert, and I've heard Adrian say you're going to France. ”
"Well, I'm on vacation in France with my family. ”
"I'm also in France, studying his potion with Damocles, are you interested in coming, I remember you were very talented in improving potions. When Mr. Dagworth said this, Nia immediately glared at the person in the mirror.
"I'm sorry, I can't take a break for the time being, and besides, I heard from Mr. Delacour that you're gambling. ”
"It's just a gimmick. Mr. Dagworth reluctantly explained, "Damocles has been studying the wolf poison potion for several years, but the results are different from his assumptions, this potion does not restore the werewolves, but only keeps them sane during the full moon and reduces the pain caused by the transformation of the werewolves." ”
"You want to make Mr. Damocles famous?" Albert asked tentatively.
"That's what he deserves. Mr. Dagworth said softly, "Damocles has put a lot of effort into inventing the wolf poison potion. ”
"Why didn't Mr. Damocles receive the Merlin badge and the fame he deserved?" asked Albert.
"Damocles didn't have a good reputation, and a few years ago, he tried to popularize the potion, but failed, because the ingredients for the wolf poison potion were too expensive, and the formula was not very friendly to most pharmacists. Mr. Dagworth sighed softly. "Also, the Ministry of Magic doesn't pay much attention to werewolves, that's why it's like this. ”
"I kind of get it!"
"If you're interested, you can come and participate in the improvement of the potion, and if you can't come, we'll contact you through the two-way mirror, and I'm sure you'll be interested in it. After Mr. Dagworth finished speaking, he added: "I hope Adrian doesn't cause you trouble, he likes to play tricks on people, and he has no malicious intentions, and that guy's popularity is actually very good." ”
"That Mr. Delacour is also a pharmacist?"
"He's a pharmacist, I know, you want to say he doesn't look like it, in fact, when I first met him, I didn't think he was like it, and most people who knew him thought that way. Mr. Dagworth looked helpless, but it was undeniable that Adrian's level was not bad.
The face in the mirror is completely gone.
"That's Mr. Anderson, whom you think very well. Damocles had a correspondence with Albert, and although he thought Albert was gifted, he didn't trust him much because of his terrible age.
"Don't look at our little friend Albert, he is really talented in improving. Perhaps, one of his whimsical ideas will help you solve a problem that has been bothering you for years. Mr. Dagworth knew that his friend did not trust Albert very much.
No way, Albert is too young.
