Katrina was not interested in the topic her sister and mother were talking about, and was about to get up and go upstairs to rest. She actually didn't want to continue to see Isobel showing off her boyfriend in front of her.
Mrs. McDougal looked at Katrina's back walking upstairs, frowned slightly, and then looked at Isobel.
"Maybe we shouldn't talk about this topic." Isobel picked up the hot cocoa and took a sip, "She probably... likes Albert a little bit."
Mrs. McDougal suddenly raised her head and looked at Isobel, suddenly not knowing what to say.
"I think Katrina has a crush." Isobel put down the cup and slowly stirred it with a silver spoon. "She entered school in the same class as Albert, so she probably thought that I... Anyway, don't count on me.
Will let go."
"Who is he and your sister?" Mrs. McDougal asked in a low voice.
"Probably we are friends." Isobel shook her head and said, "Since Albert invited me to go on vacation together, you shouldn't be able to guess our relationship."
"Oh, what are they all about!" Mrs. McDougal sighed softly. Ever since she discovered that Isobel made her worry-free, she had been a little neglectful of her daughter's education.
"Have you talked to Katrina?" she asked.
"It's useless. The more you persuade her about some things, the more she will resist. You can only wait until she grows up and figures it out on her own, and the problem will be solved." Isobel looked up at her mother and said softly: "Probably.
I put too much pressure on Katrina, causing her to try to compete with me in everything she did."
"It seems that I, as a mother, have failed too much." Mrs. McDougal murmured, "You have worked hard these years. Christmas holidays are fun. If the opportunity is right, you must seize the opportunity. As for Katrina
Over there, I will spend more time talking to her recently."
Katrina had no idea about this. She was burying her face in the pillow and letting her head completely empty. What Isobel said just now could not help but echo in her mind: I think Cedric Diggory is good.
Katrina naturally knew something about Cedric Diggory. The boy her female companions talked about the most recently was Cedric. They could always talk about his academics, Quidditch and handsome appearance. Everyone liked it.
Knowing that he will be Hufflepuff's prefect candidate next term.
Katrina knew very well why they stopped talking about Albert. What scared them was never that Albert had a girlfriend. It was because Isobel put too much pressure on everyone. Her sister would always
She was so impeccable that few girls dared to secretly slander her behind her back.
If it were any other girl, I'm afraid she would have to endure terrible pressure.
Perhaps, she should be proud of this, but if she treats such a person as an opponent, no matter who she is, she will quickly realize that she has made a stupid decision.
yes!
Quite stupid.
How could Katrina not realize that Albert meant to invite Isobel to go on vacation together.
From the beginning, the other poor girls had no chance.
She really deserves to be her sister!
"Let nature take its course!" Katrina said to herself.
…
Albert, who was far away on Tibey Avenue, faced a similar problem. Naturally, he could see that Nia still had "hostility" towards Isobel.
I need to have a good talk with Nia, otherwise it will be more troublesome if it breaks out while on vacation.
A few minutes later, Albert knocked gently on Nia's door.
"Sleep!"
Nia turned her back to the door and said.
"Mom made some eggnog. I thought you would like it, so I brought some for you." The voice came in as the door opened.
"What on earth do you want to do, you guy!"
Nia sat up from the bed and glared at the guy who broke into her room.
"Are you still angry with me because of Isobel?"
Albert put the eggnog on the bedside table, then pulled up a chair for himself and sat at the head of the bed.
"No!" Nia said angrily.
"I didn't want to bribe you with eggnog." Albert suddenly grinned, "Actually, I can read minds!"
"Liar, that's just a trick." Nia picked up the glass of eggnog and took a big sip. It was very sweet and had almost no alcohol smell. After drinking it, her body became warmer.
"You are thinking now that I brought you a glass of wine tonight, am I doing it with bad intentions, right?" Albert put his hand on Nia's head and ruffled her hair, "Okay, don't always
I’m thinking about some random things.”
"Damn it, can you really read minds?" Nia stretched out her hand to open Albert's hand and muttered, "And I'm not thinking about any random things."
"Drink, I'll ask you something."
"What's up?"
"Do you really hope that your brother and I will be alone in the future?" Albert's words made Nia freeze in place, and even secretly moved her head away from meeting his eyes.
"Although it is true that many wizards in the magic world never got married." Albert sighed softly.
"real?"
Albert stretched out his hand to fish Tom over, rubbed his fat belly and complained, "You really think so, it's really sad."
"Actually, there are only a few wizards in the British wizarding world. There are only about thirty or forty students in a class of Hogwarts. There is no doubt that many wizards can't even find a suitable partner in the end. They look for ordinary people.
Or it's not uncommon to end up alone."
"I'm just worried that you will be deceived by them." Nia held the wine glass in both hands, lowered her head and whispered.
"I can easily see through whether others are lying to me. As long as I am willing, it is actually very difficult for me to be deceived by others." Albert explained softly.
"Anyway, you are right about everything. Ever since I was a child, I have never defeated you in this aspect."
"Actually, wizards are not allowed to have too much contact with ordinary people." Albert ignored Nia's words and said to himself, "The magic world in the entire world implements the "International Statute of Secrecy." Wizards need to cut off contact with
Most of the connections between ordinary people, and relatives are no exception."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "After graduation, will you leave us completely?" Nia suddenly raised her head and stared into Albert's eyes.
"The situation is not easy to say."
Albert looked at his sister and explained calmly: "Of course, there are actually many ways to circumvent the law. The laws in the magical world are actually very loose. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are full of holes. In most cases, as long as they are not
If someone else discovers it, it's not illegal."
Nia opened her mouth, not knowing what to say.
"I can easily win the jackpot through divination." Albert gave an example. "This practice is actually illegal in the magical world."
"Of course, if I pass you, it won't be illegal." Albert continued: "After all, you won the lottery, not me. I have said before that I need your help, are you willing?
"
"what do you want to do?"
"Be my vest." Albert said mysteriously, "Help me manage the wealth of the ordinary world?"
"I thought you weren't greedy for money." Nia had not forgotten Uncle Charlie, who had already made a fortune.
"I'm not greedy, but people can't live without money." Albert said calmly, "With money, you can have more choices, live a more comfortable life, and do a lot of things you want to do."
"How do you plan to make money and buy lottery tickets?" Nia asked curiously. Although she was not greedy for money, as Albert said, people can't live without money.
"It's finance." Albert said softly, "I plan to speculate and make a fortune during the economic crisis. The time has not come yet, and I will tell you what to do when the time comes."
"Is this why you wanted to study finance before?" Nia didn't understand those things at all.
"Yes." Albert seemed to have seen through his sister's thoughts and comforted, "It doesn't matter if you don't understand. When the lottery wins, you can spend money to find a professional team to help with these things."
"Okay, happy working together." Nia shook hands with Albert.
Huh, you can never leave us, unless you don't even want the money.
