Chapter 349: How did you end up here
Mrs. Weasley was slightly surprised and regretful to hear that Albert was going back in the evening, and then enthusiastically added five more dishes to Albert.
"Mr. Broad?" said Mr. Weasley, raising an eyebrow slightly.
"Yes, Mr. Budd Blod. Albert didn't hide it, and added, "He used to be the Defence Against the Dark Arts professor at Hogwarts, and I have been in correspondence with him since he resigned. ”
"That's the one!"
Mr. Weasley looked at Albert in surprise, he also knew Mr. Broad, who was a peaceful and well-liked man, and was also a member of the Wizengamot.
"Then it can't be helped. Mr. Weasley said with some regret that he enjoyed talking to Albert about Muggles.
At about half past seven in the evening, the house-elf Knorr knocked on the door of the Weasley house and took Albert to Broad, the familiar manor.
Upon entering the manor, Albert met an acquaintance.
"Long time no see. Albert looked at the red-haired girl sitting on the sofa, raised his eyebrows and said, "Then again, you're still here!"
"I've been living here for more than half a month. Isobel looked up at the boy in front of him and said with a smile, "How's the summer vacation going?"
"It's ok. Albert was about to sit down next to Isobel when he heard a shrill exclamation from the entrance.
"Why are you here?"
Albert's body froze in place, looking back in the direction from which the voice came, and Katrina, with two drinks in her hand, stood in the doorway.
"Oh, it's you, long time no see, Katrina. Albert greeted another red-haired girl.
"Strange, you were also invited by Uncle Mogg?"
Katrina asked as she placed a cup of iced black tea on the table in front of Isobel, looked Albert up and down, and asked, puzzled.
The atmosphere in the room suddenly became strange, and in the end, it was Isobel who spoke first to break the silence.
St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Injuries and Illnesses seemed to be very busy, and the two sisters' mothers couldn't get out of the house for a while, so Mog McDoug invited the McGonagall sisters to the manor for a vacation.
In fact, this manor belongs to the wealth of the members of the Wildsmith family, and Mog McDoug can also use it, and the person who invited it is actually Isobel, and the one next to him is only in passing.
Of course, Isobel must have known about this, and Katrina was the only one who remained in the dark.
"Well, I was invited too. Albert smiled and said casually, "I won't stay here for long, and I will probably go back in two days." ”
"Uncle Mogg is looking for you because of the Ancient Scriptures?" Katrina looked at Albert suspiciously, thinking she had guessed the answer.
Albert was not ready to answer, so he picked up the book pushed by Isobel and began to flip through it, the more he looked at it, the more he felt that this book was a little strange, and he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and quickly read the whole book.
"How's it going?" asked Isobel with a smile.
"The last time I came, I didn't notice the book. Albert recalled the contents of the book, and it felt a little familiar, and he didn't know that he had seen them there.
"This is what Uncle Mogg brought to me. ”
"What the hell are you talking about?" Katrina's gaze wandered between the two, sensing that something must have happened between Albert and Isobel.
However, this set of theories is a bit outdated by now. Albert flipped through the book again and muttered, "It feels familiar." Well, by the way, "Chadwick's Magic" seems to use this theory. ”
Of course, Chadwick's magic refers to the charm with which he uses spells.
"What are you talking about, and what's Chadwick's magic, don't leave me out of the equation?" said Katrina, a little frantically.
She could understand every word of the two people, but she couldn't understand what they were saying.
"Chadwick's Magic is the Defence Against the Dark Arts textbook at Ilvermorny College in the United States, and it is a little different from us in terms of spell theory...... Anyway, if you haven't read this part, you won't understand it. ”
Albert said and spoke, and he didn't bother to explain, and even if he explained, the other party might not be able to understand it.
The book "The Magic of Chadwick" is indeed a little different from the British textbooks, and it teaches students some spell-casting techniques, although this part has been eliminated, but it is still very useful for most students.
Katrina was a little angry, but Albert was right, she really didn't understand, which made her even more depressed.
After that, the two had a tacit conversation about some study issues and how to arrange the time of this semester reasonably.
After all, I'm going to take twelve classes this semester, so I have to learn some experience from Izebel so as not to break down.
A large part of Isobel's words were addressed to Katrina.
Isobel is a genius in his own right, and there is not much pressure to study, and Albert, who is open, is also considered a genius, and there is no pressure to study, and the only person who may really be stressed is Katrina, who can barely be regarded as a genius.
After nightfall, Albert separated from the two men, and on the way back to his room, he met the house-elf.
Soon after, he saw Mr. Broad in his study, where the old man was smiling and waiting for his arrival.
"I thought this manor was a very important place for you. Albert looked at the old man in front of him who was not going to invite him to supper, and couldn't help but complain.
"You mean Katrina?" the old man motioned for Albert to sit across from him.
Albert did not deny it either, and sat down and waited for the old man's explanation.
"You must know something about the Wildsmith family. Actually, these things shouldn't have been told to you so early. Mr. Broad seemed to be careful with his words, speaking very slowly.
"Because we're not heirs yet?"
"Well, it does have something to do with it. "Mr. Broad doesn't deny it either.
There is nothing wrong with the heir. However, it may not be the same as you might think, we don't inherit an inheritance, we inherit a surname. He laughs.
"Of course, in a way, this is also a kind of heritage. ”
"Inherit a surname?" Albert asked curiously, remembering Isobel's letter, "So, I'm qualified?"
"Well, how do you say that?" said Mr. Broad, after a moment's thought, "it seems to us that you and Isobel are suitable, at least for now. ”
"Is this the case now?" Albert repeated, "hasn't the inspection period passed?"
"Normally, we don't tell you about these things until you graduate. Mr. Broder smiled and said, "Well, this is a special case. ”
"You know, Isobel and I don't really care much about these things. ”
"The pride of genius!" said Mr. Broad with a smile, "even if you don't inherit it, you can get what you want, I know that, and I used to do so." ”
"Of course, if you don't want this surname, you can only inherit it in the end, although she doesn't really need it, but someone needs to inherit it. ”
"Our task is to pick the right person and convince him to inherit the surname. "If you agree, I'll tell you about the antecedents and some of the things that are very private." ”
"Aren't you afraid I'll pretend to agree?"
"Don't be afraid, since you are considered suitable, naturally you will not do this kind of thing, otherwise you will not be considered suitable. ”
"I think you mean a lot of what you mean by suitability?" Albert raised an eyebrow.
"That's natural, everyone who is qualified to inherit this surname is chosen by thousands of people. ”
"Do you have so many candidates, don't think I don't know how many wizards there are in England. Albert pursed his lips and couldn't help but complain.
