Chapter 854: Superfluous

"What are you doing?"

The door was suddenly opened, and a cold air poured into the warm yellow room, and Isobel, who was holding a book, walked in, closed the door with his backhand, looked up at the two people whispering at the table, walked towards the small round table by the fireplace, poked his head over Albert's shoulder, and looked at the photo album on the table.

"Tom's picture. ”

Albert glanced sideways at Isobel, who rested his chin on his shoulder, and pointed to a few photographs that had just been treated with a manifestation potion, showing a fat cat being rubbed back and forth on the carpet.

"Tom is getting fatter!"

Isobel smiled and pressed his face to it, so cold that Albert couldn't help but shiver.

"Tom is actually very thin when he was young, and since I came to Hogwarts, no one has taken care of him, and his diet has become unhealthy, so he will become a little fat cat. Albert stretched out his left hand to keep Isobel warm, and with his right hand turned the photo album to the front, it was Albert's picture of Tom having just adopted him, a little British shorthair, it was hard to imagine that it would change greatly when it grew up.

"It's a big change. Isobel said softly, "It's hard to see that those pictures are the same cat." ”

As she spoke, she let go of Albert's left hand, pulled her wand out of her pocket and waved it to refill the copper kettle by the fireplace and hang it on the fireplace to boil.

Hogwarts is particularly cold in winter, and the two are used to drinking a cup of hot tea to warm up their bodies.

"Are you going back this Christmas break?" Albert pushed the album to Katrina, reaching for the letter in his pocket.

"That's what happened this year, and probably not a few students want to stay in school for the Christmas break. Isobel waved his wand again to conjure up a tea set, ready to make a cup of instant milk tea for all three of them.

"Thank you. ”

Katrina closed the photo album, reached out and took the teacup handed by Isobel, took a sip of hot milk tea and said, "Uncle Mogg sent us a letter a while ago, inviting us to his manor for the Christmas holidays. Are you going to that estate for Christmas vacation this year?"

"I haven't decided whether to go or not, but Mr. Mogg's invitation has been received beforehand. ”

"Actually, I don't understand why Uncle Mogg invites you to the manor every year, is this really trying to match you with your sister?" Katrina muttered in confusion as she looked Albert up and down.

She couldn't figure out why her uncle was so keen on doing such a thing.

When she first met Albert at the manor, Katrina was really surprised.

Unbeknownst to Katrina, however, the manor was almost Anderson, and even the house-elves had officially pledged allegiance to Albert. Isobel is also in the know, and only Katrina is still in the dark.

It's just that Albert and Isobel didn't say anything, so as not to embarrass Katrina when she found out.

No way, who made her just an incidental.

Albert didn't actually plan to go to the estate for the Christmas holidays, and the family wrote to him to tell him that the family would go abroad for the winter during the Christmas holidays.

Uncle Charlie's bubble tea was a big sell, making a lot of money, and he generously gave Albert a large share, and Daisy, after consulting Albert's advice, decided to spend some pounds to make up for the travel expenses.

So, the whole family went to Italy for the Christmas holiday, and by the way, they went to taste authentic Italian food.

A lot of Brits love to travel around.

Albert also wanted to invite Isobel to come along, but considering that Katrina was still here, he planned to bring it up another day.

However, it is still unknown whether Isobel will agree to participate.

Isobel saw that Albert had something to say to her, but it seemed that Katrina was nearby, so he didn't say it directly.

However, even if Albert doesn't plan to say it now, she has a way of knowing what the other party is thinking in the first place.

As a masterful master of regents, Isobel could read Albert's thoughts at a glance when his mind was unguarded.

She was pleased that Albert had invited her on a trip to the Muggle world and that she had intended to introduce her to his family, but the maiden did not immediately agree.

She hesitated!

It's not that she's worried about not getting along with Albert's family, as a master of regency, she can easily read other people's thoughts, and she can easily find ways to get along with other people just by using her brain.

It's just that she still doesn't worry about her family.

Mrs. McDoug has been very busy, and since the death of her husband, Mr. Blair, she has devoted almost half of her energy to treating patients, especially since both sisters went to Hogwarts.

Christmas is a rare reunion, and Isobel doesn't want to miss it.

Albert was a little disappointed by Isobel's refusal, and originally wanted to take Isobel to the Muggle world, but now he could only temporarily dismiss this idea.

Looking at the two people who looked at each other affectionately, Katrina felt the atmosphere around her inexplicably awkward, quietly packed up the books and parchment on the table, and quickly left the room of requirement, leaving this place for the two of them.

Unexpected things happen all the time.

That evening Albert received a weary grey owl, and Miss Louise from France sent him an invitation, or rather an invitation from Mr. Delacour, whose son Hebrew was to be married, to the wedding.

To be honest, Albert was a little confused when he found out that it was a wedding invitation, he had only met Mr. Delacour of France a few times, and although the two sides had corresponded a few times, it was nothing more than an acquaintance, not even a friend.

The relationship with Louise is only maintained in the pen pal, and lately they have been busy with the basilisk, and Albert's contact with other wizards has decreased.

Moreover, it is not easy for an underage wizard to attend the wizard's wedding across the country alone, and it is difficult to say whether he will be able to find a specific location at that time.

Of course, Mr. Delacour was clearly aware of this, and of all the people invited, Albert was the most special one, he was too young to use magic at will, and he was invited as a guest to invite other colleagues with whom he had a good relationship.

So, he had already helped Albert arrange things.

It's actually quite simple, because many of Albert's "old friends" have been invited to go with them when the time comes.

Albert didn't plan to attend the wedding, after all, the two parties didn't know each other, not to mention that he had already decided to go on vacation to Italy with his family during the Christmas holidays.

However, the Moggs seemed to anticipate his idea and hoped that Albert would be able to attend the wedding, and that Mr. Delacour was also a well-known potions master and was very influential in the French wizarding community, and that there would definitely be a lot of people who would return to the wedding, and Albert could take the opportunity to expand his network, and they also planned to find an opportunity to gradually push Albert to the forefront.
