Chapter 680 flag

"Does it look good?"

Nia fiddled with the hat on her head in the mirror in the bathroom for a long time, and then came to the living room to show her new hat to her family.

"It looks good, it suits you very well."

Albert was combing Tom with a comb. Hearing the sound of footsteps, he looked up at Nia who was wearing a hat, and said gently, "If you wear it with a white dress, you will look like a little angel. By the way , would you like me to take some photos for you?"

Nia was very happy in her heart, but she still pouted and complained: "Liar, you always say that."

Albert has been coaxing himself to be happy like this since he was a child, and now he doesn't bother to put it another way.

I am obviously not a child anymore.

Seeing Nia take off her hat and put it aside, Albert changed the subject, "Would you like to come and try this thing, so you won't need to make up in the future."

"What is this?" Nia looked at the wooden box curiously and asked, "Cosmetics, or skin care products?"

"It should be considered a skin care product."

Albert pointed to the glass medicine bottle inside the wooden box.

This is Isobel concocted with the help of Mrs. Perenal... well, skin care products.

"Skincare?"

Nia looked at the bottle in Daisy's hand, picked up a bottle from the box herself, and read the instructions posted on it:

Plant extract.

Usage method: external coating.

Effect: reduce swelling, quickly eliminate acne and scars on the face.

"Is it effective?" Nia asked suspiciously.

"It will take effect in a few hours at the latest."

Nia put the medicine bottle back and picked up another bottle.

Plant extract.

Usage: Oral administration, ten drops at a time.

Effect: It can effectively prevent acne on the face.

Well, it is actually similar to the effect of taking vitamin C.

It was Isobel's bribe to Nia. Adolescent girls would always encounter similar problems. Based on his own thinking and the special effects of magic plants, Albert asked Isobel to try to make...beauty potion.

"Mom, what is the effect of that bottle of yours?" Nia put the bottle back in her hand and asked while staring at the bottle of potion in Daisy's hand.

Daisy hesitated for a moment, but still handed the medicine bottle to Nia.

is also some kind of plant extract.

Usage method: external coating.

Effect: Beauty.

The effects of magic plants in some aspects are indeed much stronger than those in the ordinary world.

"Is there still time for me to use it now?" Daisy looked at her son and couldn't help asking.

"It should be useful."

"I said son, you haven't been learning these things all summer, have you?" Herb looked at Albert with a strange look.

"This is made by Isobel. I just gave some suggestions. Girls are very concerned about their appearance. Although there are so-called beauty potions in the magic world, the effect of using them is different from what you think, so I suggest She uses plant extracts."

"Has it been tested?"

"Well, it's been tested." Albert brought back Tom who was about to run away, nodded at the two of them and said, "However, the bodies of wizards and ordinary people seem to be a little different. Less, let’s see how it works.”

During the rest of the night, Daisy and Nia discussed the skin care products Albert brought to them.

As long as you are a woman, there is no one who does not want to be beautiful.

Finally, Daisy asked for the right to use the beauty potion. If it is really effective, Albert can get another bottle for Nia.

Herb naturally also received a gift.

Albert bought him a bunch of wine in the French magic circle.

Although Herb is not a person who likes to drink, the wine in the wizarding world still aroused his interest. While tasting the wine to experience the novelty, he compared it with the various wines he had ever drunk to see which one was better. The wine is better.

Albert was sitting on the sofa, stroking the cat, watching the news on TV, and feeding Tom small dried fish from time to time.

On the TV screen, the announcer is broadcasting the news about a fugitive criminal:

...The public must be aware that Black is armed and extremely dangerous... A hotline has been specially set up. Anyone who knows Black's whereabouts must report it immediately.

"It started around the beginning of August, and similar news reappeared every night." Herb said to Albert, "Those announcers never detailed the origin of the criminal named Black. I suspect that he may be from your side. Run away. By the way, do you want some?"

"That bottle of champagne is for me and Nia." Albert glanced at the bottle of honey champagne on the table, and looked at Herb resentfully.

"Sorry sorry, I thought it was all for me, so I just took a bottle that you can drink..."

Albert put Tom aside, took the glass and asked Nia beside him, "Do you want some too?"

"Can I drink it?" Nia asked, blinking.

"As long as the right amount is fine." Albert also poured a glass for Nia and Daisy each, and explained to Herb: "That guy's name is Sirius Black, he escaped from the wizard's prison, it is said that There is currently a reward of 10,000 Galleons offered by the wizarding world for the first person to escape from a wizarding prison in England."

"Wizard Prison?"

"Well, it is said that on an isolated island overseas, no one can find a place, where death and despair are full, and no one can escape from the guards of the dementors. Black is the first prisoner to escape successfully in hundreds of years." Albert said calmly.

"Dementors?"

"A very terrifying monster that feeds on people's joy and will bring people despair." Albert explained.

"A dementor is a warden?"

"For now."

"at present?"

"Dementors themselves are evil creatures. Ordinary people can't see them, but they can sense them. Once war breaks out, those monsters will turn to the evil side and roam around the UK unscrupulously. This is one of the reasons why I asked you to leave Europe. "

"The Ministry of Magic actually tolerates the existence of such monsters."

"Wizards are arrogant, and... it is said that dementors cannot be killed, but can only be driven away with the Patronus Charm."

"Can't be killed? That's unreasonable. If dementors can't be killed, unless they can't reproduce, the whole world might be full of dementors." Daisy thinks this is unreasonable.

"I don't know." Albert didn't know anything about dementors either, he only knew that the Patronus Charm could restrain dementors.

"However, Black is not worth as much as I imagined!" Herb estimated a little, and the reward was about 49,700 pounds.

"Ten thousand Galleons is already considered a lot of money in the wizarding world." Albert felt that Herb was a little flustered after winning the lottery, and he didn't care about the money.

He also understood what Herb meant. After all, it is not surprising that the reward for being the first to escape from prison is high, and he now has a wrong understanding of the probability of money in the magic world and the ordinary world.

"That wizard prison must be scary." Nia whispered.

"Yes, it's scary."

…

While the Andersons were chatting, a similar thing was happening at the McDougals.

Mrs. McDougal was looking at the tiara, necklace and earrings in front of her, with an extremely complicated expression, and she didn't even know what to say.

"I remember that Albert seems to have a vault in Gringotts. You should let him put his things in the vault, which is safer." Mrs. McDougall seemed to think of something again, and said with a soft sigh, "Take care of people." Look, don't be like me."

After talking with the Andersons, Mrs. McDougal also knew the reason why they wanted the two to get married early. Although she still didn't want to believe it, she saw the attitude of the Andersons in this regard, and Albert was Gryffindor. Students from many colleges also know that the other party is not a law-abiding person.

"If a wizarding war really breaks out, it would be fine to leave England."

After all, Mrs. McDougall, who has experienced that period, also knows what happened at that time.

"When the time comes, remember to take Katrina away with you!"

After knowing that the two might go to the Magic School Potions Tournament, Mrs. McDougal also understood that an overly dazzling Muggle wizard is not a good thing in the chaotic period that may arise.

"Aren't you going?"

"No, this is our home, I won't leave."

"But…"

"Don't worry. I'm a pure-blood, and I spend most of my time working in St. Mungol's Hospital for Magical Injuries and Injuries." Mrs. McDougal comforted softly, "It will be fine."

"No, please don't say such things again." Isobel couldn't help frowning, "Albert thinks setting a flag for himself is an ominous omen."

Mrs. McDougall shook her head involuntarily. She obviously didn't understand what Isobel meant by the flag, and continued, "Tomorrow, I'll put the things in our vault first. It's not safe to leave them at home."
