"This song sounds really good, just this sound... I seem to have heard it somewhere before."
Albert, who had just finished taking a shower and changed into thermal underwear and came to the courtyard to eat, listened to the light singing playing around him, pulled out a chair and sat across from the table, enjoying the hearty breakfast that the house-elf had just delivered.
"You really can't hear it?"
Katrina stopped doing yoga and looked at her brother-in-law with a strange look.
"I do feel like I've heard it somewhere before. Any questions?" Albert took a sip of milk and picked up the newspaper on the table, ready to see if there was anything worthy of attention recently.
"Keep pretending. Your lover is singing, can't you hear it?" Katrina looked at Albert who was pretending, curled her lips and said something shocking.
puff!
Albert sprayed the milk he had just drunk all over the newspaper.
Cough cough cough.
lover
This word really surprised him.
"It's the beautiful vampire lady from Spain." Katrina reminded with a smile, "This is the new record she released after graduating from school."
"Spain, vampire? You mean Yanila? I haven't seen her for a long time. And she's not a vampire, she just has some vampire blood, but she doesn't suck blood."
Albert's fingers slid lightly, as if he had pulled out a handkerchief from thin air to wipe the corners of his mouth, and he asked curiously, "By the way, where did you get this record?"
"From your Christmas present. You asked me to help you open it last time. There was a Christmas package she sent you, and a letter. It should be in your study with other letters."
Katrina didn't open the letter, but she could guess what it said. She looked Albert up and down and suddenly said, "I think you should get up and exercise with us every day. Otherwise, with your current physical condition, it will be difficult to satisfy your lovers."
"Thank you for your concern." Albert said unhappily.
"You're welcome."
Katrina walked to the opposite side of Albert with a smile, pulled a chair and sat opposite him, put her beautiful face close to Albert's face and asked, "What do you think of me now? Have I changed from before?"
"How about it?"
Albert glanced at the piece of black bread in his hand, looked at the woman who leaned forward with confusion, and sighed softly, "Nothing has changed. Even if there has been a change, we have lived together for a long time, and it is difficult for me to see the changes in you."
Katrina raised her eyebrows and reminded, "They all said my skin has improved. I don't use any makeup now."
"It has indeed become more beautiful than before."
Albert looked up at Katrina's rosy cheeks and tried to make his tone sound less perfunctory.
"I'm currently writing my new book, recording it in the form of a diary..." Katrina paused, very dissatisfied with Albert's perfunctory attitude, but continued to share her latest research results with him.
"A healthy diet, with almost no sweets and no sugary drinks except for a moderate amount of fruit..."
"So, it's all black bread these days?" Albert glanced at the remaining black bread crumbs.
“How does it taste?”
"It's edible." Albert said without hesitation.
"It seems you don't like it." Katrina was a little surprised.
"That stuff doesn't taste good, and bread is a staple food. You don't need to be so harsh on yourself. You can give up desserts, sugary drinks, and overly sweet fruits, but you can't count on eating staple foods. That's really too stupid. Anyone who tells you that eating dark bread can help you lose weight is treating you like a fool. They probably want to make money from you."
"You mean to say I'm stupid."
Katrina stared at Albert with her eyes fixed, and her voice sounded a little gnashing her teeth.
"No, you just don't have the knowledge in this area and are easily fooled. Many people in Europe are used to consuming a lot of sugar. You haven't been to the United States. The Muggles there are more or less obese. This is related to their unhealthy diet. It's the same in Europe, so you should thank me. It's me who brought you out of the sea of obesity." Albert corrected with a smile, "If you think that kind of life is not healthy enough, I suggest you give up desserts completely, and it's best to give up milk tea and only drink tea without sugar."
"I've done that," Katrina puffed out her chest with pride. "In the last few months, I've surpassed myself."
"A healthy diet and a healthy schedule can make you healthier than most people, and a healthy body can make you look more beautiful than most people," Albert said calmly.
"Oh, dear, it seems that you seem to have a different opinion about staying up late?" A gentle voice sounded in my ear.
"No, it's normal for couples to have some night life." Albert let Yin Zebel help him tidy up his clothes.
"No, I think what you said is actually quite right. We'd better rest earlier in the future." Yin Zebel kissed Albert's cheek and said, "Alice will be much better in a while anyway."
“Ahem.”
Katrina coughed lightly, indicating to the two that there was someone else here.
"Your skin has indeed become better and smoother than before." Yin Zebel held Katrina's cheek and stroked it gently, then said, "It seems that your theory is still useful. I think someone will be very happy to know it."
Albert pretended not to hear. He was indeed a little surprised by Yin Zebel's "hostility", but in order not to get into trouble, he focused most of his attention on the newspaper.
The news of Voldemort's "rampant chaos" in Europe has gradually spread, and those arrogant audiences at the time can finally experience the pain of being harmed by the Dark Lord.
"Did anything interesting happen, dear?"
While talking to Katrina, he accidentally noticed Albert's slightly raised mouth corner, so he turned his head and asked curiously.
Albert then told them about Voldemort's scourge in Europe.
"It seems that you don't want him to return to England so soon." Yin Zebel guessed at a glance that it was probably Albert who was behind this, but he still reminded, "But the mysterious man is not a fool, it shouldn't be difficult for him to guess this."
"Yes, he guessed it, but he probably wanted to get the wand and use it against me." Albert calmly stated the fact that Voldemort intended to deal with him.
"Then why are you still..."
"This is one of Dumbledore's conspiracies."
"Dumbledore's plot?"
The McDougal sisters were quite surprised by this; it was the first time they had heard of such a secret.
"Yes, the Elder Wand itself is a plot that Dumbledore prepared for You-Know-Who before he died. It can effectively distract him." Albert explained softly, "Even if You-Know-Who finally finds the legendary wand, he is just stepping from one pit into another pit dug by Dumbledore. What's more, he can't find Gregorovitch at all."
"So, the Gregorovich in the newspaper is fake?" Katrina suddenly felt that Yin Zebel's worries were a bit unnecessary.
The once feared Dark Lord was being played around like a fool, and it seemed that he was not far from death.
"Compound potion?"
"So, those were all you?"
"Of course not. I don't have that much time to play hide-and-seek with You-Know-Who." Albert said meaningfully, "But there are always people willing to do it, and many dark wizards in Europe actually want You-Know-Who to continue wandering around Europe. He has done too many bad things recently."
"I don't think this will force them to muster the courage to fight the mysterious man." Yin Zebel shook his head.
"I never count on wizards from various countries, but at least I can remind everyone and let them understand the harm and horror of the mysterious man, so that they can face up to the legendary Dark Lord, and by the way, buy some time for the country." Albert saw it more clearly than anyone else, and he understood better the problems that might be caused by Voldemort's return to Britain.
"It seems that the team that is resisting the mysterious man has developed very successfully, but do those people really have the courage to do so?" It's not that Yin Zebel looks down on them, but how many wizards have the courage to face the mysterious man.
"Yes, they will. They are growing very fast and gradually becoming more confident. After a few more training sessions, they will soon become qualified fighters."
This is actually the main reason why Albert kept Voldemort abroad. If Voldemort returned to Britain, he would not dare to let the members of the Defense Society use the elimination of the Inferi as training.
