This was definitely the most depressing Christmas vacation Katrina had ever had.
After Isobel and Albert went abroad for vacation, although her mother tried her best to spend time with her, she was still very busy and could not be seen all day long. Most of the time, she looked after the house alone and silently prepared food. It was just her
My cooking skills are mediocre, so I didn’t have a good time during the entire Christmas holiday.
Perhaps, I shouldn’t go home during the Christmas holidays.
She originally thought that even if Isobel went on vacation with Albert, she would be able to spend the Christmas vacation at Uncle Mog's manor, but it turned out that Uncle Mog seemed to have...forgot?
Katrina sat at the desk, looking away from the parchment, raising her head and looking at the falling snow outside the window. For some reason, she felt inexplicably lonely and sad.
Considering the relationship between Isobel and Albert, they will probably get together in the end!
Mom has basically agreed, and she has a very good sense of Albert. Moreover, she will chat with her whenever she has free time during this period, and she also knows what her mother means: He is your brother-in-law.
As for Albert, since they have invited Isobel to go on vacation, it means they have agreed.
Katrina looked at the photo with Isobel on the desk and sighed softly, "You really have taken advantage of all the good things."
Time passed day by day, and Isobel still didn't come back.
It took Katrina a few days to finish all her holiday homework.
In order to prevent myself from thinking about strange things all day long, I spent most of my time reading by the fireplace, trying to surpass Isobel in next year's ordinary wizard level exam and prove that I was no worse than Isobel.
Why not Albert?
Katrina has completely given up on the idea of surpassing Albert. That is a further goal than surpassing Isobel.
Doing similar things over and over again every day, time always flies by very quickly. In the blink of an eye, the Christmas vacation is over, and Isobel still hasn't come back.
Just a few days before the end of the vacation, footsteps were finally heard outside the door. In the light snowing weather, Isobel came back. She did not feel tired after the trip, but she looked very energetic, even...
Katrina was stunned. Isobel seemed to be more beautiful than before.
Even if the other person is her sister, Katrina can't help but feel a little envious.
There is no woman who does not love beauty.
"What's wrong?" Isobel put down her suitcase, closed the door and looked at Katrina, who was stunned, and asked in confusion.
"I always feel that you have become more beautiful." Katrina looked at Isobel up and down and asked curiously, "How did you do that."
"Has she become more beautiful?" Isobel was stunned for a moment, then replied with a smile, "I probably know the reason."
"what reason?"
At this moment, Katrina noticed that Isobel's cheeks were a little red, and she didn't know whether it was from the cold or the reflection of the firelight in the fireplace.
"Albert said that happy women are the most beautiful." Isobel hung the cloak on the hanger by the fireplace, turned to her sister and said, "I thought he was bluffing at first, but I didn't expect it to be true.
.”
Katrina was speechless for a moment, feeling that she had really asked a stupid question.
"How is it going abroad?" She found a new topic.
"The Muggle world is very interesting. Although they cannot use magic, they have created countless magical appliances." Isobel turned her head and looked at her sister and asked, "How was your vacation?"
"It's not good, mom still doesn't come back very often." Katrina muttered in a low voice, "You know my cooking skills are very average, and the food I cook is barely edible."
"It's okay, I brought a cooking book." When Isobel took out the cooking book from her suitcase and stuffed it into Katrina's arms, the expression on the latter's face froze.
"Don't look down on these cooking books. Although I can't teach you how to use magic to cook food, you can still make delicious food if you cook by yourself." Isobel pulled her suitcase upstairs.
However, this is not the worst thing for Katrina. The worst thing is that the entire book is written in words that she cannot understand.
"What text is this?" Katrina asked stiffly.
"Italian, this book was actually bought by Albert, he can understand Italian." Isobel explained casually.
"Do you understand?" Katrina asked in disbelief. She couldn't believe that her sister had mastered another writing in less than a month.
"I can understand it better. Albert translated it for me last time." Naturally, Isobel didn't understand Italian, but as a genius, her memory was very good. When Albert translated it sentence by sentence for her, she
I just wrote down the general content.
This book was not something she planned to use for cooking, but for reading Italian and deepening her impression. The girl did not want to be left too far behind by Albert.
"You are so powerful." Katrina said discouragedly. She originally thought that the gap between herself and Isobel was not such that she could not see each other's back, but now it seems that she overestimated herself.
Those two guys are complete monsters!
"What's wrong?" Isobel noticed that her sister looked a little depressed, so she gave her the gift she bought on Sicily.
A bottle of perfume.
The price can't be compared with Daisy's bottle.
"Aren't you going to the Muggle world for vacation?" Katrina liked the smell of this bottle of eau de toilette, but she was still a little confused. Isobel definitely didn't have any Muggle coins.
"Albert bought it," Isobel said.
"He also gave you perfume?" Katrina raised her eyebrows.
"No, his family gave me a bottle." Isobel would never mention the price of the perfume, because they didn't know it anyway.
In the evening, Mrs. McDougal rarely came back early.
Listening to her daughter talk about some of her experiences in the Muggle world, and admiring the photos she took, we talked like this very late. I heard that Isobel planned to write a book about her experiences, and Mrs. MacDoug was also very supportive of her daughter.
practice.
"It's very warm in Sicily, there's no snow, it's not like winter at all." Isobel didn't notice the complicated look in her sister's eyes, and said to herself: "By the way, I brought you a gift."
It's also a bottle of perfume.
Mrs. MacDougal paid no attention to the perfume, but pretended to ask Albert's age unintentionally.
The conversation between the two sounded extremely strange to Katrina. She kept reminding Isobel of her age, Albert's adulthood and graduation time.
Katrina always felt that there was something in the conversation between the two of them, but she really didn't understand what it meant.
However, Isobel understood it, her cheeks could not help but blush slightly, and she felt a little embarrassed. She did not expect that her mother could see through the little secret in her heart at a glance, and reminded her that she should pay attention to the time issue.
Sure enough, there is something weird!
Katrina looked at Isobel's reaction and knew that what they just talked about was very problematic.
What kind of riddle are you trying to figure out?
She asked Isobel, but Isobel used the idea of marriage to perfunctory her. This probably meant: Mrs. MacDoug reminded her that she needed to wait until Albert graduated from school before they could get married.
Katrina didn't think that was what she meant. Before she could figure out the reason, two days had passed. Mrs. MacDougal took half a day off and sent the two of them to King's Cross station to take the train back to school.
