Chapter 679： black dog and ominous

Chapter 679 Black Dog and Ominous

"You speak first."

"You first."

"Well, I think it's kind of silly for us to follow Katrina like this."

The two followed Katrina for a while in Diagon Alley. Albert looked at the girl standing in front of the window of Lihen Bookstore not far away, and turned to Isobel who was beside him.

"I think so too." Isobel was also relieved to see that his sister was fine.

"Then... let's go there."

As he spoke, Albert walked towards Lihen Bookstore.

"Why are you here?"

Hearing the voice, Katrina turned her head to look at a man and a woman approaching, and the expression on her face suddenly became a little unnatural.

"Um, I just forgot to tell you that I already have a copy of "The Monster Book of Monsters." Albert raised his finger and pointed to the big iron cage in front of the window of the bookstore, which contained about a hundred copies of "The Monster Book of Monsters." Monster Book," said to Katrina, "Hagrid gave me a copy last term."

The expression on the face of the bookstore manager who was wearing thick gloves and holding two "Monster Books of Monsters" suddenly changed. He was trying to get a book from the iron cage just now, but he was caught by those "Monster Books of Monsters" Book" bites enough.

"Give me the book."

Albert took the still-struggling "Monster Book of Monsters" from the bookstore manager, and with a flick of his finger on the spine of the book, the "Book of Monsters of Monsters" instantly quieted down.

When the manager saw this scene, his whole body became Spartan in an instant, and he stood there stupidly, watching Albert hand over the uniformed "Monsters' Book of Monsters" to Katrina, and then sent it to the school. handed him the list of books.

"Two of the others." Albert's voice sounded in the ear of the bookstore manager.

"How did you... do it? These "Monster Books of Monsters" have been making a lot of noise. I have been bitten nine times this morning." The bookstore manager said with a sad face.

"You should write to ask the professor of protection of magical creatures who asked students to order this book." Albert looked at the bookstore manager who was crying, and reminded: "The other party must have a way to subdue these meetings." The monster book that bites people will definitely be willing to tell you what to do."

"Oh, it seems...that's right." The bookstore manager was stunned for a moment, with an embarrassed expression on his face, because Albert made so much sense.

"You can easily subdue these books by stroking the spine of "The Monster Book of Monsters" with your fingers." Albert reminded kindly: "Remember to get a rope and tie the book up first, and it will come back after a while." Restore."

Not long after, the three walked out of Lihen Bookstore under the grateful eyes of the bookstore manager.

"I dare say, trying to subdue all the "Monster Book of Monsters" in his way is probably too much."

Before Albert left Lihen Bookstore, he glanced at the iron cage. There were still a lot of "Monster Books of Monsters" in it, thinking how easy it would be to subdue them all.

"Mrs. Malkin's robe shop seems to be on sale. Does any of you need to buy a new robe?" Isobel said and looked at Katrina.

"No, I will go to the pharmacy to replenish the medicinal materials later, and then I will buy some quills, ink and parchment. I am almost done here." Katrina really didn't want to go with the two, feeling like she was redundant of.

"I need to buy some nuts for my owl at the Yila Owl Store." Albert thought for a while, and then continued: "However, we can drop by Florin's Cold Drink Shop to buy ice cream, my treat."

When the three of them passed by, they saw Harry Potter talking to the store manager Florin. The savior seemed to often do homework here.

"What flavor do you want?" Florin asked gently.

"chocolate."

Katrina went to the freezer and picked out what she liked.

"Me too."

"Then three servings of chocolate-flavored ice cream." Albert had just reached out his hand to take money out of his pocket and was about to pay when he heard Harry Potter's voice next to his ear.

"Albert."

Actually, after seeing the three of them coming, Harry hesitated for a long time before speaking.

"Is there anything, Potter?" Albert asked sideways.

"That...you know it's ominous?" Harry asked hesitantly.

"Ominous?" Albert raised his eyebrows slightly, and asked back, "Do you mean to predict your own death from the crystal ball?"

"No, I met a black dog."

"Oh, a black dog? That's definitely not ominous, it's because you're thinking too much."

It was not difficult for Albert to guess who the black dog was. Black probably didn't expect that he would scare Harry.

"Of course, if you think it's death and worry about it all day long, maybe one day you will really scare yourself to death." Looking at Harry's mouth that gradually opened, Albert reminded kindly, "Scare yourself That's the scariest thing, because you think that's what it is, not what it is."

"I think Mr. Anderson makes a lot of sense."

The store manager Florin handed the ice cream to the three of them respectively, and said to Harry: "Most so-called fortune-tellers and seers are actually liars, because there are very few wizards who have the ability to predict the future."

Katrina seemed to be very happy eating ice cream, looking at Albert as if saying: This is a liar.

Albert wasn't embarrassed at all, he wasn't a liar, and he was thick-skinned enough to ignore Katrina's gaze.

He shrugged his shoulders, bid farewell to Harry, and walked towards the Yila Owl Store, which was a store selling owls, and Albert bought all the owl nuts for Shera here.

Half an hour later, the three of them quickly bought all the things they needed to buy. Albert asked the two girls beside him: "Do you still want to go shopping in Diagon Alley?"

"And you?"

Isobel looked at his younger sister, if Katrina wanted to stay, she would stay with her and go home together.

"Forget it, let's go back!"

Katrina obviously didn't want to stay here any longer. She knew that if she said she wanted to stay and visit Diagon Alley, the other two would definitely stay with her. She had already had enough of being caught between them. feeling.

After sending the McDougal sisters home, Albert left the wizarding world through the Leaky Cauldron.

Standing alone on a busy street, there is always an inexplicable sense of unreality.

Albert found a coffee shop nearby, ordered a cappuccino, and waited here for Herb to pick him up.

Herb didn't make him wait too long, and appeared at the coffee shop door.

"How about France?"

"Learned a lot of useful things, and..." Albert motioned Herb to look at the ring on his left finger.

"The style is a bit ordinary." Herb wanted to complain about his son's eyes.

"Mr. Flamel gave us the wedding ring. It is a magic ring made by goblins. It will never get dirty or rust." Albert explained casually.

"No more?" Herb asked, tilting his head.

"It's gone." Albert looked at Herb rather speechlessly.

"I thought I could use some powerful magic through each ring." Herb looked a little disappointed, but he also knew the meaning of the ring.

"By the way, this is for you." He threw a package to Albert, which contained a mobile phone.

"I can't use this thing!" Albert looked at the old mobile phone and couldn't help asking, "How much is this thing?"

"It's not expensive!" Herb asked suspiciously: "Can't you play this thing over there?"

"It can't be used, the electronic items can't be used, anyway, they will interfere with each other, I think I said it before." Albert handed the phone to Herb and said, "Give it to Nia!"

"Oh fine!"

Herb put away his phone, started the engine, and chatted with Albert while driving.

"I have investigated the matter you mentioned, and the situation in the colonies is not bad. As for that country, it is considered to be 'poor' now, but as you said, there are indeed many people in that country."

"This is a fast lane. If you want it, join it. At least we won't have to worry about money in the future." Albert reminded: "Money will only become less and less valuable , it is not a precious metal like the wizard's Gallon, which is not easy to depreciate."

"Are you really planning to stay in the wizarding world?" Herb frowned deeply, "Then what do you plan to do with these industries in the future? I believe you might be able to fulfill your original wish and build a business empire."

"Isn't there still Nia?" Albert said without thinking, "Besides, you can have another son. You are all young anyway."

"No, we are not young anymore, Nia is not as capable as you." Herb shook his head and said, not talking about this matter, he thought Albert would probably have a way to solve these problems.

Money, no one would ever think too much of this thing.
