This year, winter seems to have come very early in the UK. There is a strong wind blowing outside, and it is raining heavily. There are also snowflakes in the rain, making people shiver with the cold.
Even the thick curtains couldn't completely block the cold air outside, and a blazing flame was burning in the fireplace. Yin Zebel was sitting on the sofa, covered with a thin woolen blanket, and there was a radio next to them.
The exclusive news from the Ministry of Magic was being played, and in front of them was a half-played wizard chess game. The players didn't seem to care about winning or losing the game, and were casually chatting about trivial matters in life to pass the boring time.
"I really can't understand how those guys would go out and cause trouble for the Ministry of Magic in this kind of weather."
Listening to the news on the radio, Yin Zebel couldn't help but yawn. From the news, it was easy to hear that the British wizarding world was in difficulty. Reinforcements from the International Federation of Wizards were delayed, and the situation in the wizarding world was becoming increasingly corrupt.
"It's hard for you to understand what those dark wizards are thinking in their minds." Albert stopped what he was doing, looked up at Yin Zebel, who was covering his yawn, and asked, "Are you sleepy again?"
"Yeah, I kinda want to sleep."
"Then take a nap first and I'll wake you up later."
Albert took the wand from the table next to him and waved it towards the chessboard. The wizard chess pieces on the table immediately put away automatically and flew back to the drawer where the supplies were originally stored.
Albert sat next to Yin Zebel and pulled the thin blanket on her body for her.
"Did something happen recently?" Yin Zebel listened to the sound of rain outside and gently leaned his head on Albert's shoulder.
"Why do you ask?"
"You haven't been out for several days recently."
Yin Zebel drank some hot milk that had just been warmed by the house elf and prepared to lie down for a while. Recently, she always felt sleepy, especially when it rained, and she always liked to take a nap in the company of her lover.
"Are you so sure?"
Albert took the half-drunk milk from Yin Zebel and asked, "Would you like to add some honey?"
"No more drinking."
Yin Zebel shook his head, "Well, based on what I know about you, something must have happened, otherwise you wouldn't have stayed at home so peacefully in the past few days."
"The mysterious person probably wants to locate my location. It's not safe outside right now."
Looking at Yin Zebel's expression, Albert reluctantly admitted that he had no intention of hiding it from Yin Zebel, at least not when the other party asked about it.
"So, I should thank the mysterious man for keeping you by my side." Yin Zebel yawned again and slowly closed his eyes: "You asked me whether I will become fat in the future. I heard that many people will lose weight after giving birth to children.
Weight gain."
"Mrs. McDougal is not fat. As long as there are no problems with her diet and she exercises regularly, there will generally be no problems that you are worried about." Albert comforted her softly.
As long as you are a girl, you seem to care about this kind of thing.
"I really hope this life ends soon. Although the life in the castle is very comfortable, it is actually very boring." Yin Zebel murmured softly: "I really don't understand why the princess in the fairy tale world would like such a life."
"Probably because in their era, life was already very difficult, so it's not surprising that they would like such a life." Albert said without thinking...
"Is that so?" Yin Zebel thinks that there are probably many people in the magic world who envy his current life!
"Have you decided what to do?"
"I haven't thought about it yet." Yin Zebel asked softly: "What do you want me to do?"
"Do what you like."
"I feel like I'm almost spoiled by you, like your sister."
"She has gotten much better recently. People will grow up after all." Albert reached out and turned off the radio, listened to the sound of rain outside, and slowly flipped through the notebook in his hand.
"You actually fell asleep? My sister seems to be getting more and more sleepy recently."
After Katrina walked into the hall, she looked at Albert, who was reading a book, and then at Yin Zebel, who was lying on the sofa and already asleep.
"The weather is suitable for sleeping today."
Albert closed the note, walked to the window, opened the curtains and looked at the pouring rain outside, "If you want to sleep, you can also take a nap."
"I have talked with them about the current situation in the UK. In the eyes of other countries, the current situation in the UK is not very bad. They even think that our so-called war is a bit exaggerated." Katrina hesitated for a moment and said her purpose, "
I want to go to the United States."
"They invited you to the United States?" Albert lowered the curtains and turned around to ask.
"Yes, after all, if you want to open a beauty shop, you always need to accumulate some experience." Katrina said seriously: "You can just go over and learn some experience, and didn't you say that the current chaos will be over soon?"
"You do believe what I say."
Albert motioned to Katrina to sit down and talk about it.
"After all, you are the most powerful prophecy master in history."
"I will not admit this." Albert smiled and shook his head: "Actually, you are free to go wherever you want. As long as Mrs. McDoug agrees, I have no reason to object."
"Mom didn't agree!" Katrina said suddenly.
"So, you want to convince me to help you convince Mrs. McDougal?" Albert looked a little weird.
Katrina didn't say anything, but she obviously thought so.
"I'm afraid I have to apologize for this. Haven't you noticed that I haven't dared to run around recently?" Albert reminded kindly: "The mysterious man asked the Death Eaters to capture Cassandra Val.
Brasky, you want to find my specific location through divination. If I were you, I wouldn’t be running around."
He raised his hand to signal Katrina to listen to him.
"The situation in the United States is actually not much better than that in the United Kingdom. It's more repressive than you think."
"Honestly, I hate that country."
"The situation of Kathleen and Valeria is different from what you think. The reason why they can live so freely and freely is because they are rich. At least Kathleen is definitely richer than me.
of."
Albert pointed out this point bluntly: "And if you have no money, even after the "Family Therapy Manual" is published, it will be difficult for you to obtain an objective galleons in a short period of time."
"So, I suggest you discuss with Yin Zebel and publish a book like "Beauty Guide". When the time comes, if you want to open a beauty shop, you can save yourself the trouble of advertising and your business will be much better." Ai
Bert didn't mind giving Katrina some advice: "Besides, you can also accumulate some wealth by the way. I think the girls will definitely like your book. Well, then I can consider putting your photo on the cover for them to see.
Only when I see your beautiful face will I believe the content in your book more.”…
"It seems that I have to continue to stay in this cage." Katrina sighed, stood up and prepared to leave.
"This may not be a prison. There are many people outside who can't envy such a comfortable life!" Albert added some more firewood to the fireplace, "Think about my suggestion!"
"I will."
Not long after Katrina left, Mrs. McDougal appeared in the hall.
"Thank you for helping me convince her."
Mrs. McDougal knew very well how dangerous it was outside. She would never allow Katrina to run around outside at this time. Even if she went to the United States, it might not be safe.
"It's my fault that caused Katrina trouble. I will be responsible for taking care of her personal safety." Albert waved his wand, conjured two cups of black tea out of thin air, and made an inviting gesture towards Mrs. McDougal.
.
"Of course, maybe this is not pleasant, but life now is only short-lived. The war will end sooner or later, within the next three years at the latest." Albert took a sip of the black tea and said, "In this kind of war,
Survival is more important than anything else. Only by surviving can you have a future."
"I have always been worried." Mrs. McDougal looked at her sleeping daughter and said softly, "It seems that my worries have always been unnecessary."
"I suggest you find something for her to do. Isn't Katrina interested in opening a beauty shop? Maybe you can start from this aspect and help her lay a solid foundation in treatment." Albert suggested, "Wait for the war.
After completing the training, after two more months of training, you will almost be able to open your own store."
"If you want to do things well, you must prepare in advance. Opportunities always leave to those who are prepared." Albert casually gave an example, "Fred and George's store is actually the same. Their store
The success is related to the fact that they were prepared during school, so they seized the opportunity, rather than my limited help to them."
"Do you think I'm right? Katrina." After speaking, Albert looked towards the door of the hall.
"Come in and sit down, and listen carefully to the advice Albert gave you." Yin Zebel slowly sat up from the sofa and patted the seat next to him gently.
"Sorry for waking you up." Katrina walked in from outside.
"It doesn't matter." Yin Zebel said.
"I know that it is not comfortable to have a life arranged by others." Albert said to Katrina, "But your life ultimately belongs to you. If you want to succeed, you must pay. You also need to
Learn a lot of things, and now is the best time for you, while you have just graduated and still have strong learning ability, if you really want to open a store."
"Okay, I can't speak to you three anyway." Katrina reluctantly compromised, knowing that Albert's words might be right.
"Please help Katrina analyze it. I remember you analyzed it with me before." Yin Zebel had a similar idea, and Albert must have understood it and was optimistic about the prospects of the beauty shop, otherwise he would not support it.
She opened a beauty shop.
"Listen carefully, I also did Fred and George's store planning for them." Albert did not refuse. He would definitely make money anyway, it was just a matter of spending more money.
