Chapter 349： How will you be here

Chapter 349 Why are you here

Hearing that Albert was going back at night, Mrs. Weasley was a little surprised and regretful, and then enthusiastically refilled Albert's dishes five times.

"Mr. Broad?" Mr. Weasley raised his eyebrows slightly.

"Yes, Mr. Bud Broad." Albert did not hide this matter, and said again: "He used to be the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor at Hogwarts. After he resigned, I have been in correspondence with him."

"That one!"

Mr. Weasley looked at Albert in surprise. He also knew Mr. Broad. He was peaceful and popular, and he was also a member of the Wizengamot.

"Then there is no way." Mr. Weasley said with some regret, he quite liked talking about Muggles with Albert.

At around 7:30 in the evening, the house elf Noel knocked on the door of the Weasleys' house on time, and took Albert to Brod's, which was still the familiar manor.

After entering the manor, Albert met an acquaintance.

"Long time no see." Albert looked at the red-haired girl sitting on the sofa, raised his eyebrows and said, "Speaking of which, you're still here!"

"I've been living here for more than half a month." Isobel looked up at the boy in front of him and said with a smile, "How was your summer vacation?"

"It's okay." Albert was about to sit down next to Isobel when he heard a sharp exclamation from the entrance.

"How will you be here?"

Albert's body froze in place, and he turned his head to look in the direction of the sound. Katrina was standing at the door with two drinks in her hand.

"Oh, it's you, long time no see, Katrina." Albert greeted another red-haired girl.

"Strange, you were also invited by Uncle Mogg?"

Katrina put a cup of iced black tea on the table in front of Isobel, looked Albert up and down, and asked puzzledly.

The atmosphere in the room suddenly became very strange, and in the end it was Isobel who spoke first to break the silence.

St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Injuries and Injuries seemed very busy, and the mothers of the two sisters couldn't get away for a while, so Mog McDougall invited the McGonagall sisters to the manor for vacation.

In fact, this manor belongs to the wealth of members of the Wild Smith family, and Mog McDougal can also use it. The person who invited him was actually Isobel, and the person next to him was just incidental.

Of course, Isobel must know about this, and the only one who is still kept in the dark is Katrina.

"Well, I was also invited." Albert smiled casually and said perfunctorily, "I won't stay here for too long, and I will probably go back in two days."

"Uncle Mogg is looking for you because of the ancient rune?" Katrina looked at Albert suspiciously, feeling that she had guessed the answer.

Albert was not ready to answer either. He casually picked up the book that Isobel pushed over and began to flip through it. The more he read it, the more he felt that the book was a bit weird, so he couldn't help raising his eyebrows, and quickly read the whole book.

"How is it?" Isobel asked with a smile.

"When I came last time, I didn't notice this book." Albert recalled the things in the book, feeling a little familiar, and didn't know where he had read these things.

"Uncle Mogg gave it to me."

"What are you talking about?" Katrina's eyes drifted between the two, feeling that something must have happened between Albert and Isobel.

"However, this theory is a bit outdated now." Albert flipped through the book again and murmured, "I feel a little familiar. Well, by the way, "The Magic of Chadwick" seems to be Just use this theory."

Of course, Chadwick's magic refers to his ability to use spells.

"What are you talking about, what is Chadwick's magic power, please don't exclude me?" Katrina said a little frantically.

She could understand every word of the two people, but she couldn't understand what they were talking about.

""The Magic of Chadwick" is the Defense Against the Dark Arts textbook of Ilvermorny College in the United States. It is a little different from ours in terms of spell theory... Forget it, anyway, if you haven’t read this part, you must have listened to it. don't know."

Albert was talking, so he didn't bother to explain. Even if some things were explained, the other party might not be able to understand them.

Compared with the British textbooks, the book "The Magic of Chadwick" is indeed slightly different. It teaches students some spellcasting skills. Although this part has been eliminated, it is still suitable for most students. Still useful.

Katrina was a little angry, but Albert was right, she really didn't understand, which made her even more depressed.

After that, the two chatted tacitly about some study problems and how to arrange the time of this semester reasonably.

After all, this semester is full of people who have to take twelve courses, and they must learn some experience from Isobel so as not to crash themselves.

A large part of Isobel's words were addressed to Katrina.

Isobel himself is a genius, and there is not much pressure to study. Albert, who is cheating, is also considered a genius, so there is no pressure to study. The only person who can really be stressed is Katrina, who is barely a genius.

After nightfall, Albert separated from the two, and on the way back to his room, he saw the house elf.

Soon after, he saw Mr. Brod in the study. The old man smiled and waited for his arrival.

"I thought this manor was a very important place for you." Albert looked at the old man in front of him who didn't plan to treat him to supper, and couldn't help but complain.

"You mean about Katrina?" The old man motioned Albert to sit across from him.

Albert didn't deny it either, and sat down and waited for the old man's explanation.

"You must know something about the Wild Smith family. Actually, you shouldn't have told you these things so early." Mr. Brod seemed to be choosing his words carefully, speaking very slowly.

"Because we're not heirs yet?"

"Well, it does have something to do with this matter." Mr. Broad didn't deny it either.

"There is nothing wrong with saying heirs. However, it may not be the same as you imagined. What we inherit is not an inheritance, but a surname." He said with a smile.

"Of course, to some extent, this is also a kind of inheritance."

"Inherit a surname?" Albert recalled Isobel's letter and asked curiously: "So, I am qualified?"

"Well, how should I put it?" Mr. Broad thought for a while and said, "In our opinion, both you and Isobel are suitable, at least for now."

"Is this the case now?" Albert repeated, "Has the inspection period not passed yet?"

"Usually, we won't tell you about these things until after you graduate." Mr. Broad said with a smile, "Well, this time is a special case."

"You know, Isobel and I don't really care much about these things."

"The pride of a genius!" Mr. Brod said with a smile, "Even if you don't inherit that thing, you just have to get what you want. I understand this, and I used to be like this."

"Of course, if you don't want this surname, Isobel can only inherit it in the end. Although she doesn't really need it, someone needs to inherit it."

"Our task is actually to select the right person and persuade him to inherit the surname." Professor Broad said, "If you agree, I will tell you about the ins and outs of this matter and some very private things."

"Aren't you afraid of me pretending to agree?"

"Don't be afraid, since you are considered suitable by us, you will naturally not do this kind of thing, otherwise you will not be considered suitable."

"It seems that what you call suitable refers to many aspects?" Albert raised his eyebrows.

"That's natural. Everyone who is eligible to inherit this surname is selected from thousands of people."

"Thousands of choices? Do you have so many candidates? Don't think I don't know how many wizards there are in Britain." Albert curled his lips and couldn't help complaining.
