Excellent girls can always attract the attention of men. During her school days, Kathleen never lacked suitors and was the envy of countless girls. However, she knew that most boys pursued her more for showing off and vanity.
The heart is at work.
Finally getting rid of the group of fly-like suitors, Kathleen and Nicholas came to the International Floo Network waiting room. Because there were always people greeting her on the road, they were a few minutes late, but the other party seemed to have not yet passed the International Floo Network.
Arrive in the United States.
Nicholas is asking for information from his old acquaintance Mr. Nathan.
"It's normal to be delayed for a few minutes. I've never seen anyone on time." Employee Nathan was not surprised at all by the delay in France. He has been working here for several years and has seen this kind of thing a lot.
"You can't expect staff from other countries to stick to the time, and there is always a slight discrepancy between the schedules of both parties."
small error
After waiting for half an hour, Kathleen felt that her patience was being quickly exhausted, especially when there was an annoying guy named Carter next to her, who always came up with topics to strike up a conversation with.
I clearly rejected the other party when I was in school.
At this time, there was movement in the fireplace leading to Europe. A young boy who looked very young almost fell into the fireplace. He seemed to be very uncomfortable using the international floo network.
"Mr. Anderson?" Nicholas stretched out his hand to help the boy out of the fireplace and asked tentatively, "You are younger than I thought."
"Sorry, there was an accident over in France and the time was delayed by half an hour."
Albert heard someone calling him, looked sideways at the old man in front of him, compared it with the person in the photo in his memory, then stretched out his hand to shake hands with Nicholas and said: "Hello, Mr. Nicholas. This must be Miss Kathleen
It’s even more beautiful than it looks in the photo.”
"You know me?" Kathleen raised her eyebrows slightly.
To be honest, she was surprised. The young man in front of her, known as Mr. Anderson, was at most fourteen or five years old. Was he really the heir to the legendary Wild Smith?
Didn't it mean that all the heirs have reached adulthood?
"Mr. Serra showed me your photo, and he said you are a genius. Of course, I think your beauty is no less than your talent."
Albert was indeed a little surprised. This Miss Catherine was very beautiful, no less beautiful than the girls from the Delacour family who had Veela blood.
Katherine noticed that Albert quickly looked away, and realized that this boy was different from other men who complimented her. He had just given a heartfelt compliment.
This kind of unstinting praise made Kathleen feel a lot better from the depression she felt while waiting.
"Welcome to America, Mr. Anderson."
Katherine glanced at Carter, who had just harassed her, stepped forward and gave Albert a polite kiss, introduced herself with a smile, "I am Katherine, the granddaughter of Nicholas."
"Are all American girls so enthusiastic?" Albert was a little stunned and muttered in a low voice.
He never thought that he was a Galen and was loved by everyone. He soon found out the reason from an unkind look and couldn't help but frown.
Probably because his attire was out of place in the waiting room of the International Floo Network, several wizards nearby cast curious glances.
However, Serra soon appeared in the fireplace, and after a brief hug with Nicholas, she said with a smile: "This journey is really boring. The French side played some little tricks in order to keep us for half an hour longer."
At this moment, an inappropriate voice sounded next to him.
"Gentlemen, please come here and register."
The Ministry of Magic staff member who just cast an unkind look at him said to Albert and Sera: "According to the regulations of the Magical Congress of the United States of America, all members of the American magical society need to carry a wand license. Please come here."
Apply for temporary documents.”
With that said, he took the two of them to the counter next to him to apply for a temporary wand license.
Albert looked at the other person and frowned slightly, because he felt that this person didn't seem very friendly. He couldn't help but glance at Miss Katharine next to him, and he could probably guess what was going on.
"This man is really sick!" he muttered.
After seeing Sierra getting the wand license, Albert heard a voice in his ear, "I'm sorry, sir, you're still underage!"
Albert saw the corners of the other person's mouth raised slightly, and couldn't help but frown, looking at the other person expressionlessly, waiting for him to continue to finish his words.
"In the United States, underage wizards are not allowed to possess wands."
"I know, but that's America." Albert reminded.
"Yes." The man did not deny this and said softly, "According to the rules, I'm afraid I can't issue you a wand license. Your wand will have to be kept in the custody of the Ministry of Magic for the time being."
"Oh." Albert suddenly asked: "If the United States Ministry of Magic loses its wand, will it compensate it?"
"What?"
"I mean, if the wand kept at the Ministry of Magic in the United States is lost or damaged, will the Ministry of Magic compensate?" Albert repeated.
"We won't... be lost." The man's expression was a little stiff.
"So, you won't compensate, right?" Albert suddenly said.
"If you are unwilling to hand over your wand to the Ministry of Magic for safekeeping, I'm afraid we won't welcome you." Carter's expression was a little strange.
"Oh, can you represent the entire United States Ministry of Magic?"
"Sorry, this is a rule, please don't embarrass me." The smile on Carter's face became more and more hypocritical.
"You are deliberately making things difficult for me." Albert handed the wand directly to Carter and said calmly, "Because I didn't bring a wand at all. It was just a commemorative gift given to me by a friend when I was in France.
It's just a piece of wood that looks like a wand with a signature on the end."
Carter finally looked at the A.A that came out of the handle of the wand, his expression getting more and more ugly. He seemed not to believe in evil, and he waved it a few more times, but it had no effect.
Albert's wand was sent back to the UK together with the wizard chess championship trophy not long ago. Because he predicted something from the crystal ball last night, he sent all the magic items on his body back to the UK.
"You have misunderstood from the beginning." Albert said calmly, "If you don't believe it, you can check it yourself. Of course, you must apologize properly afterwards."
Seeing the other party's expression that he could check at will, Carter felt more uncomfortable than eating a fly. The other party was obviously determined that he could not find the wand.
Katherine looked at Carter, whose face became more and more distorted, and her expression became more and more weird.
Finally, the Ministry of Magic inspected it.
Albert ordered a cup of Assam black tea.
At that time, the United States Ministry of Magic did not intend to invite him to tea, and was ready to send him away directly.
Albert revealed a little bit that he had just won the international wizard chess competition, and reporters returning home would definitely be interested in his trip to the United States.
In response, the United States Ministry of Magic had to hold its nose and apologize for their rudeness.
The four of them drank black tea for half an hour in the reception room of the United States Ministry of Magic before leaving.
"Why do you do that?" Kathleen asked with a frown.
"I don't think you know Legilimency!" Albert suddenly said, "So, you didn't see the malice in that guy's eyes just now. I dare say that as long as I leave the wand there, I can't point it.
Be careful, it's broken or lost."
"As for why, of course it's because you kissed me back then, and that idiot is now overwhelmed by jealousy. But it's normal. Ninety percent of those who work in the Ministry of Magic are like that."
"I haven't had time to teach Katherine Occlumency and Legilimency." Nicholas explained, he could see that Mr. Anderson had high attainments in Legilimency.
"I finally understand why everyone is reluctant to come to the United States." Albert turned to Serra and said: "I'm afraid I won't come to the United States again.
