Chapter 1057 Valentine's Day
"The body is very stiff."
Isobel gently pressed Albert's body with his white and slender fingers, with a bit of schadenfreude on his face, obviously recalling the painful time when he first practiced yoga.
"I don't practice yoga every day like you."
Albert was very helpless, letting Isobel fiddle with his arms, his body was indeed not as flexible as before. This is also impossible. Even if Albert's yoga skills are at the second level, he still cannot reverse his body's condition.
"That's because you've been lazy recently."
"No, it's because no one has practiced with me recently." After Albert went to Hogwarts, he temporarily gave up many of the habits he had developed before, such as jogging and practicing martial arts. Except for milk, basically nothing was preserved.
Breakfast at Hogwarts does not include eggs and milk every day.
Of course, another reason is that it’s really boring to practice by yourself, and it’s not suitable to be too independent at Hogwarts.
Wizards and Muggles have different habits after all. Apart from playing Quidditch, many wizards basically don't have other too formal sports. Fat and thin depends entirely on personal physique and work content.
"Then... if I ask you to do morning exercises in the future, you can't be lazy, so it's settled." Isobel is obviously waiting here for Albert's words!
"Are you worried that I will grow old in the future, not as handsome as I am now, and become a bald and fat man with a beer belly." Albert joked with a smile, "However, there is one thing I almost forgot. The water quality in the UK is indeed very good. Poor, it is easy to lose hair if you drink it for a long time.”
"Really." Isobel asked suspiciously.
"In the words of Muggles, there are too many minerals in the water, and you generally need to boil it before drinking it. However, this matter should only be regarded as... a small problem for wizards." Albert seemed to think What, suddenly said: "This thing reminded me, I can make a simplified version of the hair growth potion and sell it to Muggles in the future, it will definitely sell well."
"You are clever, but since the introduction of the "Secrecy Act", wizards and Muggles are not allowed to be too close." Isobel reminded, although she felt that Albert must have a way to avoid this problem, if he really wanted to Do that.
"It's good to hide behind the scenes." Albert said without hesitation: "In the Muggle world, money is still very useful. For example, you can buy the land of a certain village. Many remote villages have been abandoned, and the price is very high." It's cheap, and we can even build our own village."
"You are very ambitious."
Isobel is dubious, she doesn't doubt that Albert will do that, but this kind of thing probably has nothing to do with ambition.
"This is called planning for a rainy day. Maybe by then, we will have a lot of children. Look at the Weasleys...cough cough, I was just joking, just kidding." Albert felt his waist twisted severely. , said hastily.
"By the way, Felicia is almost ready..." Isobel blushed slightly, she didn't plan to have too many children.
"As expected of you, you succeeded in one attempt. I dare say that many brilliant pharmacy masters can't do it." Albert was not stingy with his praise.
"It went even better than I expected."
Speaking of the Felicia Potion that had been boiled for six months, Isobel had a little emotion on his face. He originally thought that the Lucky Potion was difficult to brew, but he didn't expect it to be smoother than expected.
Of course, whether the Felicia elixir can be successfully brewed depends on the final product.
Isobel didn't know that she felt very comfortable brewing Felicia, which actually came from the recipe of Felicity, which was copied by Albert from the skill panel of Felicity. The thing itself It is more complete and standardized than the existing formula of Felicia in the magic world. In addition, Isobel's own potion level is very high, and it will feel smooth to follow the formula step by step to cook the potion.
"Then please." After Albert kissed Isobel's cheek, he stood up and moved his limbs. The yoga just hurt him.
"You just want to send me away?" Isobel raised his eyebrows slightly, as if he was a little dissatisfied with Albert's perfunctory attitude.
"Tell me what you want, and I will try my best to satisfy you." Albert also saw that Isobel was pretending, so he joked with a smile, "A grand wedding?"
"It's about the same. However, I haven't figured it out yet," Isobel picked up the wand on the table, tapped the cushion on the ground, let it jump into the cabinet, and turned to look at Albert who was still moving. , suddenly said, "Tell me, can we keep our wedding simple?"
"What's the matter?" Albert put his arms around him, and he caught a glimpse of the uneasiness and anxiety in Isobel's eyes.
"The prophecy, and the current timing is not good, and you are being targeted by mysterious people again." Isobel doesn't value the wedding of the two very much, nor does he care about other people's blessings, anyway, there are already Lemay and his wife They have become witnesses, and there are not many family members and relatives.
Even if there is no wedding, it doesn't matter. In Isobel's opinion, it is just a formality. She also knows that Albert held this wedding largely because he wanted to give her a good memory.
If Isobel is willing, he can even directly claim that they are married after Albert graduates.
"We can make more preparations, and we can choose flexibly depending on the situation." Albert knew what Isobel was worried about, so he comforted him, "Make more preparations, and even if something happens, you can deal with it calmly."
Isobel is not worried about Albert's calmness and ability to plan for a rainy day.
"Would you like me to rub it for you? I recently learned some massage." Isobel watched Albert rubbing his waist and arms, and changed the subject.
"Of course. But, you actually know this?" Albert was surprised by Isobel's versatility.
"I don't understand. However, I've been studying this recently, and I heard that stimulating the body's acupuncture points properly can help maintain the body's vitality." Isobel is very interested in all things that can keep him young.
"Forget it." Albert shook his head hastily. He didn't want to be a guinea pig: "When the holiday is over, you can try it with Katrina. She has been under a lot of stress recently and needs to relax."
Before Isobel could speak, Albert continued, "However, I remember that Europe doesn't have these things, let alone British wizards."
"From the books in your bookcase, I also learned some Far Eastern languages by myself." Isobel said proudly: "Although it is difficult to understand, I can still barely read some of the articles. "
"You are amazing." Albert did not hesitate to praise himself.
"The really powerful person is you. I really don't know how you master so many languages."
"Maybe I have some talent in language." Albert said tactfully, of course he would not say that he cheated.
However, he found that Isobel is really an out-and-out genius. It is not easy for other people to learn the Far Eastern language. You must know that it is recognized as the most difficult language in the world.
"You're always so humble." Isobel sat down next to Albert, took a sip of the roselle tea sent by the house elf, but his tone sounded a bit resentful: "If you have some talent, Others are going to be stupid, how are they going to live?"
"The light on me is too dazzling." Albert put his arms around Isobel's shoulders, and said gently: "If you don't restrain yourself, it will hurt others deeply. Moreover, I feel that becoming a professor like Professor Dumbledore There's nothing wrong with being humble."
"Dumbledore is indeed an admirable wizard, but I think you are different from him." Isobel looked sideways at the bouquet of roses on the table, as if thinking about something.
"Maybe it's because I'm not a good person!" Albert said seriously. "It can't be as great as Dumbledore."
"This is the first time I've heard someone say that I'm not a good person." Isobel asked with a smile, "Mr. Anderson, can you tell me why you don't want to be a good person?"
"There is a saying in the religions of the Far East that a bad person can become a Buddha immediately by putting down the butcher's knife." Albert paused, and continued, "But a good person has to go through ninety-nine or eighty-one difficulties to become a Buddha."
"What do you mean?" Isobel asked.
"It's easy to be forgiven when a bad guy stops being a bad guy. Umbridge is a ready-made case. After that guy did a bunch of shit, he was actually forgiven by everyone." Albert glanced at his mouth in disdain. "But good people are easily demanded by others. Just because Dumbledore told the truth, look at his reputation, his career, and everything about him was almost destroyed."
"So, I don't need to be a bad guy, but I definitely don't want to be a **** good guy." Albert said seriously.
"Are you sure it's religion?" Isobel felt that what Albert was talking about was not religion, but philosophy.
"Okay, let's not talk about that, do you like me who is humble, or me who is more ostentatious?" Albert changed the subject with a smile.
What he said just now was purely a rant, the things in the school were indeed a bit sad and disgusting to him.
"I like you better now." Isobel kissed Albert's cheek.
"It feels a bit perfunctory."
"By the way, I remember you are very familiar with Percy." Isobel asked.
"Yes, what's the matter." Albert kissed back.
"Penello said that Percy basically forgot about her during this time." Isobel smiled and pushed Albert's face away, talking about the letter she received recently.
"Well, know some."
"Tell me."
"For Percy, it is very important now, so important that he temporarily put down a lot of things." Albert picked up a piece of rose pastry and handed it to Isobel's mouth: "Percy is now the assistant to the Minister of Magic, um, It is Fudge's assistant, this is definitely a very rare opportunity for him."
"Percy is indeed that kind of person. You don't know what will happen to love until the end, but your career is your own. It's really difficult to take care of both." Isobel took a bite of the pastry with rose filling, feeling the sweetness in his mouth. Has a faint rose scent.
"It seems that my luck is so enviable!"
"Don't blame Percy, most people can actually become a person like Percy." Albert thought it was normal, people are profit-seeking, and Percy is just one of them. If he wants to go further, he can only seize the few opportunities he has. While the method might not be glorious, it was what it was sometimes, the Weasleys weren't rich, and Percy had to climb up the ladder on his own if he wanted to succeed.
If Fred and George hadn't had help from Harry or themselves, their joke shop dreams might never have come true.
In a long earning career, all passions will be exhausted by complicated work and difficult life.
I once wanted to form my own circus, and the trio who traveled around the world to perform is the best case.
If they had also been funded by Albert, it might have been another ending.
"That's why I said good luck." Isobel also picked up a piece of pastry and handed it to Albert, saying, "This thing tastes really good, and it's very beautiful!"
"I'm actually similar to Percy." Albert suddenly felt, "If I hadn't become a wizard, I might have left for the Far East by now."
"Far East?" Isobel remembered that Albert's family had all gone to the Far East.
"Yes, there is an opportunity to make a lot of money over there, if you can grasp it."
"Make money?" Isobel's expression was subtle.
"Since I was a child, I have always wanted to make a lot of money and realize the freedom of wealth, so that I no longer need to worry about money." Albert took a big sip of roselle tea and fell into a short memory: "In Ma In the world of melons, although money is not everything, but without money it is absolutely impossible, and it is even more difficult to get money than in the magic world."
"So, I read a lot of books. Well, every year, birthday presents and Christmas presents are all books..."
"You are the same now." Isobel reminded in a low voice.
"To be honest, I haven't read all those books, but I did learn a lot of useful things from them, and I plan to use them as a step for me to rise up in the future and even become rich. Later..."
"You received a letter from Hogwarts?" Isobel could easily guess what happened afterwards.
"Yes, I received the admission letter from Hogwarts. It was like a joke made by God, although I don't believe in God." Albert said with emotion softly, "Of course, sometimes I will also come from a certain place. Pick it up in a corner and believe it again, it is said that many people in the Far East are pragmatists in their beliefs, and I especially agree with this.”
"A Pragmatist?"
Isobel thinks that this term is actually quite appropriate for Albert, just like Albert helped other people open a store, in fact, part of the reason is that he values future benefits, a fairly objective profit, and he does not need to deliberately bother to manage.
"Later, my world has undergone tremendous changes. In just a few years, I no longer worry about the problem of wealth that I was worried about." Albert said softly, life would be more perfect if there was no trouble from Voldemort.
"I dare say, except for a small number of ancient wizards, no one else is necessarily richer than you." In Isobel's eyes, Albert's fortune history is even more fantastic than a dream, "I remember when you first entered school. Richer than most students."
"At that time, I bet on Fudge to become a minister and earned a lot of Galleons." Albert recalled, "Speaking of which, I have to thank Fudge for helping me earn my first Galleons." Long."
"At that time, you looked very different." Isobel reached out to pick Tom up from the carpet and put it beside the sofa, and reached out to touch its head, "If I hadn't met you, I would probably follow the The original plan was to graduate from Hogwarts with honors and enter the Ministry of Magic as an honorable employee of the Ministry of Magic."
"It seems that I hinder you from becoming the Minister of Magic?" Albert joked with a smile.
"No, I never thought of becoming the Minister of Magic." Isobel shook his head and said.
"That's right. If I didn't get in your way, you could probably get 10,000 Galleons and become a big boss. With your talents and abilities, it's not difficult to earn Galleons at all."
"I have always been curious, why do you always like to say that I am a genius?"
In the eyes of Isobel, Albert is the real genius, and he is also unreasonable, so every time he is called a genius by Albert, he always feels inexplicably awkward.
"Those are not important, meeting you is the most important thing, and also my greatest luck." Isobel said softly: "There are always many people who are jealous of me, but they are not as lucky or happy as me. "
