"You just went out?"
As soon as he got home, Albert was caught by Isobel.
"I just went out to buy some things. Don't worry, I used a compound potion."
"Why don't you let Kara buy it for you?"
Isobel felt that Albert was not telling the truth, or only half the truth.
"I stopped by Hogsmeade and got some things from an old friend." Albert walked forward to give Isobel a hug, but she dodged him.
"Don't worry, I can always protect myself well."
"You're becoming more and more fond of lying." Isobel said expressionlessly.
"I'm telling the truth."
Albert was telling the truth, but he just didn't finish his words.
He took the bag from the house-elf, took out the gift he had bought for Isobel, and handed it to his girlfriend with a smile.
"You're sure to like what I buy you."
"What?"
Isobel took the paper bag handed over by Albert, opened it and looked at the things inside. She hesitated for a moment but finally did not take it out.
"Don't like it?" Albert asked back.
"No." Isobel said with a straight face. She suspected that Albert wanted to make her fat.
"I'll feed you."
Albert took out the ice cream from the paper bag with a smile, then turned to the house elf behind him and said, "Kara, go find Katrina and tell her that I brought dessert for everyone."
"Yes, Master."
The house-elf put the bag down and turned to leave the hall.
"Come on, ah!" Albert opened his mouth and said.
"Stop changing the subject." Isobel turned her head away from the spoon handed to her by Albert.
However, after Albert tried several times and promised to exercise with her over the next few days, the girl hesitantly opened her mouth and took the spoon.
"How does it taste?" Albert asked with a smile.
"Try it yourself."
Isobel took the spoon and scooped some for Albert and put it in his mouth.
"It's quite sweet. It's very comfortable to eat ice cream in summer."
The two sat on the sofa and played an intimate game of feeding each other. Albert suddenly asked: "How is your research going?"
"The progress is stuck. I'm considering whether I should communicate with the Americans. They must have their own results. Perhaps exchanging results with each other can advance the research progress of the youth potion." Isobel originally wanted to keep Albert's research results for herself.
Unfortunately, she found that she could not advance the research progress by herself.
As for Katrina, unfortunately, although her potion skills were good, she was of little help.
Perhaps, if Albert studied the youth potion seriously, he might make faster progress than all of them combined. However, Albert has been studying the notes left to him by Dumbledore and Nicolas Flamel, or making some magic items. It is obvious that he has been preparing for the upcoming turmoil in the wizarding world. He does not seem to be very interested in the youth potion that the girls care about.
If it were normal, Isobel would definitely drag Albert to study together, and would ask him to help no matter what method was used. But now the turbulent period of the magic world is about to come, and Albert is working hard to get through this period safely. She also knows that she should not disturb Albert now, and sometimes she even takes the initiative to help.
Albert's energy is limited after all, even with a time turner.
"By the way, next, I plan to brew the Felicis and compound potion. Can you spare some time to help me?" Albert suddenly said.
"I haven't tried the Felicis Flourish. It's more troublesome than I expected." Isobel frowned and reminded, "If possible, I suggest you ask your old friend to do it. After all, Felicis Flourish can't be overdosed."
"It's okay. I made a note that can reduce a lot of mistakes." Albert said to Isobel, "I have also asked someone to help gather the materials."
"Is that why you went out?" Isobel guessed the reason.
"Yes, it's not very reliable to ask others to help. I think we should still stock up on some lucky spirits." Albert said without hesitation, "Sometimes, I'm not the only one who needs luck."
"Okay, but I can't guarantee that it will be successful. In fact, if you make it yourself, the chances of success may be greater." Isobel was very clear about Albert's level of potion making. If he brewed it throughout the whole process, it should be successful.
After all, even the Bafe brain stimulant is perfectly configured.
"It's okay. We always need trial and error. We can make two batches of those ingredients." Albert comforted her. "This is for our wedding. I think we both need some luck on that day."
Isobel thought about it and nodded in agreement with Albert.
In the current situation, having a blessed elixir can really ensure that the day will be more perfect.
At least, don't cause any problems.
"By the way, what's the situation outside? The Daily Prophet is full of reports attacking Professor Dumbledore." Isobel scooped a spoonful and put it into Albert's mouth.
"As expected, try this." Albert took out a small piece of bread from the paper bag and handed it to Isobel's mouth.
"What is this?" Isobel asked curiously, her eyes lighting up.
"Cream puffs." Albert said proudly, "Aren't they delicious?"
This is the dessert Albert recommended to his cheap uncle.
There is no doubt that it is very popular among girls.
"It's delicious, you should try it too." Isobel took one from the paper bag and put it into Albert's mouth.
The latter bit it and pointed at Isobel.
"Really." Isobel muttered and moved closer. She actually didn't hate these overly intimate actions, she even liked them because they felt like she was just in love.
"What did you buy?"
Katrina walked into the hall and happened to see this scene. The smile on her face quickly turned into an expressionless face.
"I bought a lot of sweets that you like, come and try them!" Albert was not embarrassed at all, he could only say that he was getting more and more shameless.
“This pastry is very good.”
Isobel recommended cream puffs to her sister, and seemed to want to use the food to divert the slightly awkward atmosphere around them.
"Is this a Muggle dessert? I've never eaten this before." Katrina sighed in her heart, picked up a cream puff, and tried to change the subject.
This is also the reason why she doesn't want to live with them. It's really awkward sometimes.
Fortunately, the cream puffs made Katrina feel a little better.
"Yes, there are indeed more delicious foods in the Muggle world than in the wizarding world." Albert took out a box of ice cream from a paper bag and handed it to the other party. "This is ice cream, strawberry flavor. I remember you like this."
"Muggles really know how to enjoy life better." Katrina has experienced this deeply during her time here.
“I just bought a bunch of ingredients. If you want, you can ask Kara to prepare them for you.” Albert thought for a moment and then reminded, “However, it doesn’t matter if you eat a little of this stuff on a regular basis. Eating too much will easily make you fat.”
"I run and do yoga with my sister every day, but you don't do much exercise." Katrina glanced at Albert, stuffed another cream puff into her mouth, and said indifferently.
"I exercise every day." Albert shrugged and said, "I dare say my body is better than 99% of wizards."
This is not an exaggeration, because many wizards don't actually exercise much.
Just then, the house-elf walked into the hall.
"Master, there is news for you."
