Chapter 1151 Horror
"Honey…"
Isobel looked up at her husband who was flipping through the manuscript, closed the newspaper in his hand and sighed softly.
Last night, Albert went out for a walk, and as a result, today's "Daily Prophet" published so many heavy news in one go.
Although Albert came back early last night, Isobel knew that Albert had a time converter in his hand.
"What's wrong?" Albert asked sideways.
"Britain is not safe now, so don't go out at night." Isobel leaned over and kissed Albert's forehead and said, "Otherwise, I will be worried."
"Sorry, I made you worry." Albert was quite helpless, and it was not surprising that Isobel saw the problem from the newspaper.
"Okay, I forgive you." Isobel took out two books and shook them in front of Albert, "However, you have to read this with me later."
"Baby Parenting Guide?"
"Yes, everyone at home is watching this now, so of course you have to watch it with us."
"Of course it's no problem. We'll read it together after I've finished reading this manuscript." Albert felt a little guilty about his dereliction of duty. He knew that he had to take on the responsibility of a father, lest Isobel should bear it pressure.
Moreover, what Isobel said is correct, Albert does not have any experience. Although his irresponsible father has already planned to hand over the responsibility of taking care of the baby to others, he still needs to understand and do his best. Father's duty.
This is actually a very pleasant thing.
Katrina joins in occasionally, and with Mrs. McDougal's help, they create a list of items that will come in handy as the family prepares for the newborn.
They even thought of the child's name. If it was a boy, it would be called Blair, in memory of Isobel's father, Blair. If it's a girl, it's called Alice. This name comes from Muggle fairy tales. Isobel hopes that her daughter can live happily and not have a bad childhood like her.
"Do you like boys or girls?" Isobel looked away from the book, and looked sideways at Albert who was asking Mrs. McDougal for advice.
"Boys are too noisy," Albert said with a smile, "Daughters are dad's little padded jackets."
"Daughter?" Isobel caressed his stomach and murmured.
"What daughter?" Katrina asked suspiciously.
"If you like boys, just ask for another one." Albert softly comforted Isobel, who actually didn't care about the gender of the child.
"Cheating," Katrina muttered.
She was even more curious about how Isobel guessed it.
Through Legilimency?
still…"
"Generally, Albert will divination in advance for more important things." Isobel met his sister's eyes and explained: "With Albert's personality, the child's gender will probably be the reason he likes it."
Katrina opened her mouth slightly, and she suddenly discovered a magical tacit understanding between Albert and Isobel.
"Then will this book be a big seller?" Katrina changed the subject.
"I don't know." Albert shook his head, "But I don't think the sales volume will be too bad. After all, as long as it is practical, most families are willing to keep a copy."
"Okay honey, don't worry about the children."
Albert kissed Isobel's frustrated cheek and said, "We are still young, and we can take care of them even if we have a few more. And, I predicted, there must be more than one child."
"I'm not a pig."
Isobel was a little depressed, Albert really needed an heir.
"There are many children in the Weasley family."
"where did you go?"
"It seems that there is news about me."
Albert took the double-sided mirror handed by the house elf, and in the mirror was Percy Weasley's slightly tired face.
"You look like you need a break."
"I've been working overtime for the past few days." Percy smiled wryly, "Congratulations on your marriage."
"Thank you, I think you contacted me, definitely not to talk about this matter." Albert went straight to the point.
"The appeal of the owner of the Duke of Bee and Zuko's joke shop has been rejected by the Ministry of Magic on the grounds of insufficient evidence." Percy thought for a while and said, "As for the culprit who attacked the shop has been arrested, remember Kenneth Toller?"
"That guy's father?"
"Yes, Mr. Toller tried to get a share of the Defense Against the Dark Arts field through inferior products, but he almost lost his underwear because of the Ministry of Magic's monopoly." Percy smiled helplessly, "He recruited a group of unlucky people who also lost money. To bring down your shops and regain the market, there are Death Eaters in this riot, and several shops that compete with you have provided some financial assistance in some way."
"Duke Bee and Joko are joking about the store owner?"
"It's a bit difficult to trouble them with only a confession." Percy reminded.
"I see, thank Minister Scrimgeour for me." Albert didn't give Percy a chance, and directly closed the double-sided mirror.
"In just a few months, that guy is becoming more and more like a politician." Albert muttered.
As he spoke, he went to the study where the double-sided mirror was placed, and contacted Fred and George through the mirror.
"Has the matter over there been resolved?" Albert asked.
"solved."
"You'd better move out as soon as possible." Albert reminded, "This matter has the shadow of Death Eaters, and it is no longer safe for you to stay there."
"That...Sirius invited us to the headquarters of the Order of the Phoenix, and the family also hoped that we would move there to live there."
"You decide for yourself." Albert interrupted, "However, the headquarters of the Order of the Phoenix is protected by the Fidelity Curse, and none of us can enter."
Fred and George were stunned for a moment, and understood what Albert meant.
"Well, you're right. We still need to continue to provide goods as a specialty store. It's really inconvenient to stay at the headquarters of the Order of the Phoenix, and it's easy to disturb others." George nodded and said, "It's better to go to the safe house you prepared, it should be much more convenient there. .”
"If you have time, take some time to contact Zuko and see if he is willing to join us." Albert urged.
"I don't think the possibility is high." Fred shook his head and said, "That guy probably hates us now."
"Their monopoly appeal has been dismissed." Albert reminded.
"When did this happen?"
"I just received the news." Albert continued, "You tell Joko directly that if he doesn't want to close down the store and give up this business, joining us is his best choice at present. As for the use of distribution, if he wants to If so, we’ll talk about it later.”
"If he doesn't want to?"
"Then we will buy his store after his store closes down, and reopen a branch in Hogsmeade." Albert said calmly, "If Zuko is sensible enough, he will definitely agree to our win-win proposal. "
"By the way, have you read the latest newspaper?" Speaking of this, Fred became extremely excited, "It seems that Malfoy Manor was burned to ashes, and I don't know that little Malfoy Have the **** been burned together?"
"It should be revenge." Albert began to open his eyes and tell the truth, "After all, Lucius Malfoy was once the second in command of the mysterious man. He has done a lot of bad things, so he must have many enemies. Those who have vendettas It’s not surprising that you’re making trouble now, and you want me to do the same.”
