Early in the morning, the snow outside the house stopped. As soon as Isobel woke up, he felt a little cold in the room, so he shrank his head into the covers. In the kitchen downstairs, there was a faint noise of chaos. The girl sighed lightly, quickly got up and dressed, and went downstairs to help make breakfast.

"Mom, don't you have to go to work at St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Injuries and Injuries today?" asked the red-haired girl in her lounge clothes as she walked into the kitchen and looked at Mrs. McDoug as she scrambled to prepare breakfast.

"Honey, today is your birthday. Mrs. McDoug motioned for her daughter to wait a moment, "So, I've taken a half-day off to make you a good breakfast." ”

"The beef is going to be burned!" Katrina quickly reminded as she smelled a faint smell of burnt fire as she went downstairs.

"I'd better do it!" Isobel sighed, drew his wand, and took over Mrs. McDoug's cooking.

Perhaps, there is a saying that is true, everyone has their own strengths. Their mothers, in addition to being highly gifted in healing, will always make a mess of other things, and even if it takes a long time to practice cooking magic, they still can't cook delicious food skillfully.

Who would have thought that the director of the famous Charms Injury Department at St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Injuries and Injuries would be in a mess except for treatment!

"Oh, well!" Mrs. McDoug was a little disappointed, but quickly picked herself up again, "By the way, I just counted the number of gifts, and you received fifteen birthday presents this year." ”

"Okay Mom, I think we can wait until we're done with breakfast before we open those birthday presents. Isobel directs the beef in the pan with her wand and prepares them skillfully, while Katrina uses cooking magic to omelette and sausages, and makes a vegetable salad with tomatoes and other vegetables.

"Good morning, Dad. Isobel looked at the picture of the young man placed next to him and greeted softly. The man in the photo is smiling at them.

"Katrina's family magic has grown greatly!" said Mrs. MacDoug, who had little flairing in her culinary flair.

"I've been practicing. Katrina said. In fact, she was helping with household chores at home, and their mother had been busy at St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Injuries and Injuries for a long time.

Over breakfast, the McDoughs chatted about some of the interesting things that happened at school. In fact, the two sisters have always reassured Mrs. McDoug.

After breakfast together, it was time to unpack Isobel's birthday gifts, most of which were ordinary small gifts from the Ravenclaw students, and if there was anyone who had the most special gift, it was the latest edition of the magic book given by Uncle Mogg.

"I don't think many people at Hogwarts can read this book!" Katrina complained as she took the book and flipped through a few pages.

Although she has learned a little, ancient magic is not Katrina's strong point.

"There's always someone who can understand. Isobel calmly put the magic book away.

"Robert Hilliard, is not pursuing you. Katrina asked, glancing at the sender of the package, tilting her head to Isobel.

"Why do you say that? Isobel asked rhetorically.

"Instinct it. Katrina looked at the beautiful pair of white gloves and raised an eyebrow, "His eyes are not bad." ”

"What kind of child is that?" asked Mrs. McDoug, curiously.

"Didn't pay attention, what's wrong?" Isobel handed the unwrapped package to Katrina, "If you like it, I'll give it to you." ”

"Forget it. "Katrina wasn't going to ask for it. After all, that was Robert's intention, and if he had used it himself, the poor guy would probably have fainted in the toilet crying.

"Thanks, the hat looks good!" Isobel put a black wizard's hat on his head, and a gorgeous evil woman's tail feather on the hat, which looked elegant and perfect for a banquet.

"You're welcome. Katrina laughed, "Anyway, I didn't pay for it." ”

Mrs. McDoug looked at her two daughters and felt that they were hiding something from her.

"Hey, Albert actually gave you a birthday present. Katrina was surprised to see the signature on the package.

"Last time, I exchanged something with him with a spell. When Isobel opened the package and saw the contents, he was stunned.

"What is this, a wood carving?" asked Katrina, puzzled, "but it looks very small. ”

"Amulet?" said Mrs. McDoug, looking at the unicorn wood carving, a little surprised to see such a finely crafted amulet.

"Amulet? By the way, there's a card in there. Katrina reached for the card and handed it to Isobel.

Isobel glanced at the card and handed it back to Katrina.

"Can I read it?"

"Well, read it!"

"Hopefully it will help you get through the impending doom – Albert Anderson. ”

"Doom, what doom?" Katrina wondered even more, what had happened between them?

Isobel briefly talked about the last time the unistone divination happened.

"I don't want to speak ill of Professor Trelawney in private, but a lot of people say she's a liar, you know, divination requires talent, and Professor Trelawney obviously doesn't have much talent. Katrina apparently did not believe Professor Trelawney's divination.

"It looks like there's something carved on it. Mrs. McDoug took the amulet, looked at it carefully, and commented, "I dare say that this amulet must be very expensive, and as you know, the things sold on the market are deceptive." ”

"Does this work?" said Katrina, half-convinced.

"It should work. Anyway, this is actually carved out of mandrake. ”

As a healer, Lady McDoug was also very adept at concocting potions, and quickly recognized what the wood used to carve the amulet was.

"Is that the mandrake?" Katrina suddenly remembered something, it seemed that someone had stolen a mandrake from the Hogwarts greenhouse, could it be ......

"This thing needs to be carved with mature mandrake, and the mandrake at the school is still not mature. Isobel seemed to see through his sister's thoughts and reminded him loudly.

"Also, this amulet is probably made by Anderson himself, and he is very good at magic and alchemy. Isobel pointed to the ancient inscription carved on it and explained, "As for the price, it's certainly not as expensive as your hat. ”

"Albert Anderson? I think I saw this guy's name in Practical Potions Master a while ago. Mrs. McDoug suddenly remembered where she had heard the name, "Anderson is said to be a potions genius, and improved potions are admired by Mr. Dagworth. ”

"That guy is a genius indeed. Isobel admits very dryly, "However, for the specific situation, you may have to ask Katrina to find it clear, they are the same students." ”

"That Mr. Anderson is in the same class as Katrina?" said Mrs. McDoug's eyes widened in disbelief.

"Well, he's in my class, and he's a recognized genius wizard in the school, and a lot of people think he'll be the next Headmaster Dumbledore. Katrina hesitated for a moment, but then said, "In fact, he has already published papers in quite a few academic journals. ”
