This year's Halloween is a rare good day for most Hogwarts students. You can go to Hogsmeade Village to have fun for a day, and then attend the Halloween feast in the evening, which is simply a double happiness.
.
For Albert, it was no exception.
This is the last time to relax before going to compete in the Magic School Potions Championship.
After having breakfast and meeting Isobel in the hall, the two left the castle together and headed towards the school gate.
Two cloaked dementors guarded both sides of the school gate, making students passing by feel fearful and uneasy.
As soon as he approached the door, Albert could feel an inexplicable chill coming towards him.
"Don't worry, I'm here." Albert reached out and held Isobel's hand, took out the wand from his pocket and summoned the patronus, turning it into a ball of light that surrounded the two of them to avoid dementors.
Impact on Isobel.
His actions attracted many students to look at them curiously. Everyone was curious about what the light balls surrounding Albert and Isobel were, but no one came to say hello.
When passing the gate, Albert could clearly feel that the two dementors were sucking the happiness of the passing students intentionally or unintentionally. There was no doubt that they could have a feast.
There was a cold wind blowing outside. This was the impact of the large number of Dementors' activities on the area around Hogwarts, otherwise the weather would not have become so bad.
The hike to Hogsmeade was not a pleasant experience, and many students had to wrap their faces with scarves to protect their exposed skin from the cold wind.
"Use Apparition."
After being some distance away from the school, Albert took Isobel to a deserted place and cast a disembodiment spell on him. Then, he used Apparition to arrive around the village of Hogsmeade.
"Zongsi is really a big trouble." Albert muttered in a low voice. "However, after we have a house here in the future, there will be no restrictions on the use of magic."
Before reaching adulthood at the age of seventeen, the only way to get rid of the constraints of traces and use magic without being troubled by the magic world is to use magic in the magic world.
Although the Ministry of Magic will also detect when using magic, they cannot tell who is using magic.
After all, in the magical world, anyone could use magic around him, so the Ministry of Magic would naturally not cause trouble for Albert.
"I thought you had researched it?"
"Although the power of the contract can be confused and blocked, it is already too late. If I had just used a powerful confusion spell on the piece of paper when I signed it, I should be able to deal with it, but now... it is a bit late." Albert
Te reached out to hold Isobel's little hand and walked towards Hogsmeade together.
"Aren't you going to lift the Illusion Curse?"
"Not yet, let's go check out our house first. Bit should have already taken care of it for us."
There are no Dementors around Hogsmeade Village. Perhaps because they knew that students would come to Hogsmeade to play, the Ministry of Magic removed the Dementors here to avoid something bad happening.
After the two entered Hogsmeade, they walked to a remote corner on the east side of the village.
This is one of the reasons why that house is so cheap.
There was a small yard outside the house. The plants in the yard were withered, and the windows shone with warm yellow light. When the two walked in, Albert raised his hand and knocked on the door five times.
This is a secret code.
"Master, are you invisible?"
The house elf opened the door and stared into the air in confusion.
"I don't really want people to know this is my house."
After the door was closed again, Albert lifted the illusion spell on the two of them.
The house elf immediately brought them milk tea and desserts.
"This place looks good. Although it is a bit old, but with a little renovation, it is still a good place." Albert looked at the empty hall and was quite satisfied. After all, the money was not wasted.
"What are you going to do with this place?" Isobel was more curious about this question. She never thought that Albert would spend money to buy such a place for no reason.
"Laboratory." Albert had no intention of hiding it.
"What are you going to make here?"
"In the future, even during the summer vacation, I can come here through the disappearing cabinet at any time." Albert pointed to the suitcase on the table.
"Vanishing cabinet?"
"Yes, the Vanishing Cabinet. That thing was very popular during the First Wizarding War."
Albert opened the suitcase to reveal the stairs going down.
The suitcase has been expanded by the Traceless Stretching Charm, and there are two disappearing cabinets inside.
"You are well prepared." Isobel said with a weird expression: "If the Ministry of Magic finds out, they will have to throw you into Azkaban Prison."
"They don't know, and they won't know." Albert said disapprovingly.
Returning to the hall, the two of them visited the house together.
Kitchen, study, bedroom, utility room...
The house is empty, with only some old furniture left.
Albert plans to get some new ones from Muggles.
"I still prefer a spacious place." Isobel stood by the bedroom window, looking at the yard below, and said to Albert, "It is not safe here. Once chaos breaks out in the magic world, you may be targeted at any time.
superior."
"They won't find this place. I will use the Loyalty Charm on this house and no one will doubt us."
At that time, the person who came forward to buy the house was a house elf.
Who else would associate a house elf with a Muggle wizard?
"We always need a place to practice," Albert said mysteriously: "You can also use this as our secret base. We can meet here at any time in the future and do something we like to do."
"You always like to be mysterious. Maybe this is a common problem among diviners." Isobel looked at the unconcealable heat in Albert's eyes and took the initiative to move her face closer.
"If things get really bad, leave the UK!" she whispered.
Isobel was not a fool, and naturally could see that Albert was not very optimistic about the future prospects. At least there would be a "chaotic period" in the future, and she was actively preparing for this in order to deal with possible dangers in the future.
"Don't worry, the situation is not as bad as imagined." Albert put his face close to the girl's ear and comforted softly, "Otherwise, I would have taken you away long ago."
In the following time, Albert and Isobel discussed the renovation of the house in the hall.
He plans to turn this place into an inner and outer storey. Like Nico's house, you need the owner's permission to enter the house.
Then, he planned to use the Traceless Expansion Spell to expand the rooms in the house.
Ordinary wizarding families would naturally not dare to do this, but Albert had no intention of letting others enter the house, so he naturally had no worries about breaking the law.
After Albert used the Loyalty Charm on the house, no one could find it.
Even if someone came from the Ministry of Magic, they could only stand on the street and stare.
