Chapter 356： Saw it

Chapter 356 Saw it

 “Here, your bubble milk tea.”

Albert handed a glass of bubble milk tea with ice cubes in front of Nia, and sat on the sofa next to him, taking a long sip from the cup and squinting his eyes comfortably.

Last time I learned how to make tea from Mrs. Perenal. Not only did I learn the skills of making tea, but I also learned a very non-magical tea art skill. The black tea I brewed was indeed better than before.

 Daisy flipped through the tea-making secrets and her tea-making skills have also improved significantly.

 It’s just that there is still a big gap compared with Mrs. Perenal. There is no way, the price of the top French black tea is right there.

In order to eliminate Nia’s complaints these days, Albert bought a bag of glutinous rice flour in the supermarket and made bubble milk tea at home.

Glutinous rice flour is not common in the UK and it took him a long time to find it.

Pearl milk tea has quickly become a favorite among the whole family. It’s really comfortable to have a cup of it on a hot summer day.

Feeling a furry touch suddenly come from his leg, Albert put down the cup, looked down at Tom who was rubbing against his leg, leaned down and picked it up.

“It’s useless to act coquettishly, you’re already 20 pounds.” Albert scratched Tom’s chin and put it on the sofa next to him.

After Albert came back, he found that his cat had become fat again, so he reluctantly carried out the weight loss plan to prevent it from being unable to run when he brought it to Hogwarts.

If possible, Albert actually doesn’t want to take Tom to school because he is worried that he will be bullied by naughty children.

 There is no other way, it’s not easy to get along with little kids.

 In the past, Tom was left at home and Nia helped take care of him. Now that Nia has gone to middle school, Daisy and Herb will not be able to take care of him if they get busy.

This stupid cat is not like Sheila who can go out to find food by itself. If you don't take it to school, God knows what will happen.

 You can’t leave the cat to Grandpa Luke’s care. Although the two old men also like Tom very much, this is no excuse to abandon the cat or give it to others to raise.

“I can hardly hold Tom anymore!” Nia said while smoothing Tom’s hair with a comb: “Grandpa Luke always said that Tom should be fatter to look better.”

 Albert suddenly didn’t know what to say.

“Will Tom get lost if he goes to school with you?” Nia was still a little worried. After all, they had known each other for several years and Tom was considered a member of the family.

"Don't worry, I asked an old friend to customize a cat tag for Tom." Albert took out the cat tag that he asked Nico to help make from his leather bag, and casually explained, "This thing has a positioning function. "

As he spoke, Albert took out another compass. The north needle of this thing pointed to the location of the cat card.

 “With this thing, Tom will not get lost.”

“Magic is really convenient!” Nia took the pointer enviously and tried it, and couldn’t help but sigh.

"No, magic is not as convenient as you think. We actually have something similar here." Albert shook his head and said, "It's a pity that electrical appliances cannot be used if they are brought to Hogwarts."

“Oh!” Nia responded casually, looking at the books spread out on the table and asked, “What book are you reading again?”

 “Divination book, I am learning crystal ball divination by myself.”

Albert was flipping through the part about crystal ball divination in "Parting Through the Fog to See the Future". He had been flipping through the book for a few days. There was no skill related to crystal ball divination on the skill panel, which made Albert feel a little bit. I wonder if I have no talent in this area.

Now he was regretting why he had not asked Nico Flamel for knowledge on divination.

“If you can really see the future, you can’t be the only one who can see it, right?”

Nia put her head in front of the crystal ball and looked carefully. There was nothing inside except a mist.

Tom next to him saw that no one was paying attention to him, and he wanted to pick the crystal ball, but Albert stopped him.

 “Isn’t this just self-study?”

Albert reluctantly picked up Tom, put it on the ground, and explained to Nia, "One day I can really see the future, and I can make a lot of money with this."

"According to what you said, most wizards should be very rich. They only need to know the lottery numbers to win the jackpot." Daisy put a plate of biscuits on the table and couldn't help but muttered.

"There are always a few wizards who can predict the future." Albert shook his head, "Moreover, most wizards have no concept of pounds."

“Didn’t you give Tom breakfast?” Daisy saw Tom put his head in front of the biscuits and quickly picked him up. The fat cat didn’t give up and started acting coquettishly to beg for food.

 “A little less than before, it’s losing weight now.”

“Tom seems to be hungry!” Daisy touched the cat’s head, looked at her son and asked, “By the way, didn’t you want to study finance before?”

“I don’t want to think about it now, I have found a better way to make money anyway!” Albert has completely abandoned his original financial dream.

 “Predict lottery winning?”

 Daisy felt that her son had become very unreliable after two years at Hogwarts School, and his mind was full of strange things.

 “Ahem, I was just talking casually!” Albert interrupted Daisy helplessly.

 Prophecy can really make money, and you can completely predict the outcome of a game. Betting on football and horse racing is not uncommon in Europe.

 However, he knew it would be difficult for others to understand until there were actual examples.

 At this point, Albert was also helpless.

●Especially for people on the technology side, their receptive ability is generally poor.

 Daisy was surprised when Albert visited the legendary Nicolas Flamel. He was actually still alive and had lived for hundreds of years without Alzheimer's disease.

  Shaking away the weird thoughts in his mind, Albert focused his gaze on the crystal ball again.

The wizard's crystal ball is different from the deceptive crystal ball used by Muggle diviners. The ones used for divination are usually more expensive. The one in front of him cost 20 Galleons.

Looking at the crystal ball filled with pearl-colored mist, Albert frowned slightly. If he could truly predict something, the fog on the crystal ball would be cleared away, showing what he wanted to see. picture.

 Obviously, Albert failed.

 The crystal ball in front of you is still a fog, not the winning numbers of this lottery.

Maybe the so-called "clearing the fog to see the future" refers to this. The wizard who wrote this book must not have the gift of prophecy!

 Albert began to flip through the books while making malicious speculations.

 Suddenly, the white mist in the crystal ball started to spin. Albert immediately dropped the book and began to stare at the changes in the crystal ball.

 Nothing has changed in the fog.

However, after he opened the panel and searched carefully, he found that a crystal ball divination skill appeared on the panel.

Albert immediately upgraded his skill to two levels, and then turned his attention back to the crystal ball.

At this moment, the fog of the crystal ball seemed to fade a little, and Albert vaguely felt that he saw a hand writing a series of numbers on the parchment.
