Daily Life at Hogwarts Chapter 828: Youth and Love
Chapter 829 Youth and Love
Egypt, Cairo, Ouroboros Bar.
In just one day, Valeria’s good mood for vacationing in Egypt was completely evaporated by the hot sun outside.
Okay.
In fact, Valeria was accompanying her friend Catherine to attend the International Alchemy Congress and came to Egypt for a holiday.
They arrived in Egypt three days ago.
When they first arrived in Cairo, they also went to visit the tourist attractions here, and then the two never left the Ouroboros bar.
”I hate Egypt, I hate this horrible weather.”
Valeria drank the red drink in the glass, looked sideways at the scorching sun outside the window, and complained to the female companion beside her, “Staying in such a ghost place for a long time is not good for the skin.”
“Then why are you still insisting on following, isn’t it better to stay and watch the store?” Kathleen slowly flipped through the “Funks Daily” that the bar provided for free, and said without looking up.
“The United States is even more uncomfortable. There are so many rules and regulations that I can hardly breathe.” Valeria is not very interested in the atmosphere of the American magic world. She patted her chest lightly with her hand, as if to allow herself to catch her breath, and then complained at her friend, “Besides, you ran out to play, so you have the nerve to leave me in the shop to work?”
”Isn’t all the profit earned during this period yours?”
Valeria poked at the ice cubes in the glass with a straw, and said confidently: “What am I going to do with the money? Wouldn’t it be more comfortable to find a rich man to support me?”
“Then you refused to do what Cameron did last time, isn’t that guy rich?” Kathleen asked rhetorically.
“I’m not a fool, that guy named Cameron knows it’s not a good thing at first glance. Also, he didn’t just chase you at first, but he got a smack on your side, and then he chased back. Mine.” Valeria got angry when she heard Catherine talk about Cameron, the wizard who pursued her a while ago.
Cameron is indeed quite handsome. He is in the same class as Kathleen, and his family is also very rich, but what makes Valeria very unhappy is that the guy always looks at them with sullen eyes, And ran after Kathleen after failing to pursue her.
What do you think of her, the spare tire of the car?
What annoys Valeria the most is that Cameron is completely insincere and just wants to find a beautiful woman to play with.
Doesn’t he know that youth is a woman’s most precious wealth?
”Actually, it’s good to be single.”
Catherine knew that Valeria still wanted to find a home for herself before she turned twenty-five.
The beauty shop of the two is now very famous in the United States. After all, there are two beautiful women in the shop, and the effect of the beauty potion is also very good, which is widely favored by witches.
After getting money, Valeria became more selective about her boyfriend, and so far all the men who have come to talk to her have made her reject it.
This is actually half of Albert’s fault. He raised their eyes and made a lot of money because of beauty treatments. Both of them are now very comfortable, and they will no longer be looking for boyfriends. So anxious.
”You really don’t find one?” Valeria couldn’t understand Kathleen’s thoughts.
”It’s hard to find a suitable one. It’s hard to make do with it. It’s not as comfortable as coming alone.”
“Isn’t there another good candidate?” Valeria stared at Kathleen, she felt that her friend had a good impression of Albert.
From a friend to a lover, it doesn’t seem to be a strange thing.
Sometimes good friends can go to bed to chat and get together later.
”So, that’s why you got Anderson’s idea?” Kathleen knew why Valeria came to Egypt with her, “Be careful Isobel breaks ties with you.”
”I didn’t say rob her boyfriend again.” Valeria curled her lips and said, “Besides, aren’t they married yet?”
“They’re engaged,” Kathleen reminded.
“There is a chance if you don’t get married. Besides, didn’t you say that, Albert might be able to brew a real beauty potion,” Valeria took half of the drink that Catherine drank and continued to drink, “The two of us must have someone to sacrifice, otherwise, one day Albert really succeeds, he will secretly hide it from us.”
“Don’t think about it, Isobel will come to Egypt too, you have no chance.” Catherine also had to admit that what Valeria said was very reasonable.
Who would share valuable research results with strangers who have nothing to do with it?
“Isn’t Isobel writing a book?” Valeria asked in confusion: “By the way, I remember she said before that she wanted to inherit her father’s dream and continue to study magic after graduation?”
“People always change, and why do you think she and Albert came to Egypt?” Kathleen put down the newspaper and looked at her friend, and said angrily, “Just to prevent you from taking advantage of her Not taking advantage of the situation and sleeping with her man. I’m sure those photos you sent last time must have caught Isobel’s attention.”
“Shouldn’t it be the reports in Spain that caused Isobel’s vigilance?” Valeria felt that it should be the fault of the Spanish female singer.
”No woman is big enough to let her boyfriend hang out with other beautiful women.”
“Why don’t I go and tell her straight, Isobel must know that little bit of my mind, she’s very good at dementor.” Valeria thinks she can talk to Isobel, as long as she If you don’t rob each other’s boyfriend, the contradiction between the two sides is not irreconcilable. After all, men are all lechers, especially good men are not short of women. If a lover suddenly appears outside one day, it is better to keep it under the nose, and then they can open a beauty shop together.
“If you dare to tell Isobel, you probably don’t even have to be friends.” Catherine snorted, she thought Valeria was whimsical, this guy wanted to go to England to partner with Isobel . She actually knew that life in America made Valeria feel very unfree.
In fact, most foreign wizards hate the atmosphere of the American wizarding world.
”They’re coming.”
Valeria waved towards the door, and saw the young men and women who had just entered the bar approaching.
”Why are you here now?”
“When I exchanged gold coins at the fairy’s side, I encountered a little trouble.” Isobel pulled out the chair and sat down opposite Catherine.
Albert put the suitcase at Isobel’s feet, then went to the bar to check in with the bartender, and ordered a few ice drinks with the gold coins he just exchanged.
The waiter quickly brought the drink over with a plate, and Albert got the key to his room. Nicholas, who came in advance, helped to book their room.
“It’s too hot here. If you want to go out for a walk, just wait for the evening.” Albert sat down beside Isobel, took a big sip of the iced drink, and it felt a bit like the sour plum soup in a previous life, cool and refreshing tasty.
“Let’s go together tonight.” Valeria nodded in agreement, she took a sip of ice cream, and asked Albert with a smile, “This time you came to the International Alchemy Congress, do you still want to get one? Pioneering Contribution Gold Award?”
Although Valeria was joking.
Still, it’s not impossible, Kathleen says Albert is good at alchemy.
“Where’s Catherine?” Albert didn’t answer, but instead asked, “Are you here to compete, or…”
“I just came here with Grandpa Nicholas to gain some insight. Maybe I can find some inspiration here.” Catherine secretly looked at the rosy-cheeked Isobel, but was surprised to find that Isobel did not wear makeup, but was more The last time we met was even prettier. Originally, many people in the bar were secretly looking at them, but a small part moved to Isobel. “
She was suddenly a little jealous, Albert must have really developed a more effective beauty potion for Isobel.
“What about you, are you really going to win another gold medal?” Kathleen asked rhetorically.
“Of course you have to work hard, it doesn’t matter if you win or not.” Although Albert said this, those who know him know that this is a polite sentence: it means participation.
However, every time Albert finished saying this, he would take the champion away with him before leaving, making those who competed with him grit their teeth.
“This is the result of my research.” Kathleen said, and took out a box. After opening it, there was a medicine bottle, which contained a light gray liquid.
“Plant extract?” Albert guessed what was in the medicine.
”Yes.” Kathleen nodded and asked, “What are your results?”
“I’ve achieved some results with my research on mandrakes.” Albert took out a box the size of a palm, opened it and pulled out a bottle of… wine?
The glass bottle does look like a wine bottle.
”Is this potion?” Both of them were a little unsure, as they had never seen potions in wine bottles. “
“This is mandrake.” Albert smiled and introduced to the two, “I call it youth and love.”
”Can mandrakes also be brewed?”
Catherine and Valeria looked at each other, and felt that they had really learned a lot. I never thought that mandrakes could actually make wine. Moreover, they all guessed that this thing in front of them must have some special effect, otherwise, taking a bottle of strange wine to participate in the competition will definitely become a laughing stock, and Albert obviously will not joke about his own reputation.
“Yes, but it’s more troublesome. It’s a magic wine with some special effects, and the taste is also very good.” Albert said meaningfully, “After drinking it, you will feel the vitality and love of youth. It’s beautiful, so I call it youth and love.”
“Can I have a bite?” Valeria asked.
“Let’s talk when you find someone you like!” Isobel helped Aite to refuse. She had drunk this stuff, and naturally knew its effect.
“Youth and Love” is the strange name of the wine that the two of them gave together.
“Any other results?” Kathleen asked. To be honest, using so-called “magic wine” to attend the International Alchemy Congress is a bit unreliable.
“This is also my research result.” Albert took out another flat container, which contained the improved flying ointment after upgrading to level 3.
Without waiting for the others to speak, he dipped a little flying ointment on the glass cup after drinking, and the cup actually floated swayingly, as if someone secretly cast a floating spell on it.
Kathleen also dipped some on the newspaper and found that the newspaper actually floated.
“It’s incredible,” Valeria murmured.
“This thing is also made of mandrake?” Although Kathleen couldn’t think of any use for this thing for the time being, she couldn’t help but sympathize with Albert’s opponent.
“Is this ointment a product of alchemy?” A handsome young wizard walked towards them, looking curiously at the cups and newspapers that were floating in the air, and then his eyes fell on Albert’s painting on the cup. On the ointment, he smiled and said to Albert, “I think you should also come to participate in the International Alchemy Congress! My name is Aria, nice to meet you.”
”Albert.”
Albert reached out and shook hands.
“Are you exchanging your alchemy results? Can I join you?” Aria stared at the several alchemy works on the table and introduced herself politely, “I also have good experience in alchemy. .To be honest, I haven’t met my younger counterparts in a long time.”
”Sorry, our table is full.” Kathleen said calmly, “There are already reservations for the two places next to it.”
After finished speaking, she ignored the handsome young man, looked directly at Albert and asked, “Where is my grandfather?”
“They met acquaintances on the road, and they are probably still chatting. They should be here in a while.” Albert gave Aria, whose cheeks were slightly stiff, with an apologetic smile.
“Sorry, I’m the one to interrupt, let’s talk at the exchange meeting tomorrow!” Aria politely smiled back at Albert, turned and walked away.
“That guy’s intentions are really obvious.” Kathleen curled her lips in disdain.
The other party seemed to come over to exchange alchemy with Albert, but Kathleen knew very well that the guy had been watching them secretly a few days ago. Do you really think she doesn’t know?
“After all, there are three big beauties here, and Mr. Aria is still so handsome, and he will definitely want to pursue you.” It was not difficult for Albert to guess the purpose of the uninvited young man.
The pursuit of beautiful women is a normal thing to meet in bars.
“What if he asked out your Isobel?” Kathleen asked.
“I will reject him outright.” Isobel said calmly.
“What if he’s in hot pursuit?” Valeria demanded.
”I’ll take him to the hospital.” Albert said with a smile and narrowed his eyes, “I don’t think I’ll have a chance though, Aria is obviously a smart guy.”
“Are you smart?” Valeria didn’t think that Aria was smart. That little intention was seen through by others at a glance. How could it be called smart?
“Of course ~IndoMTL.com~ he is looking for me to chat, not you, because strange girls are especially wary of strangers abroad.” Albert said calmly, “Even if he is handsome, but he is uninvited You will still be vigilant, thinking that his movement is unpredictable, and if you become friends first, you can lower your vigilance.”
“Well, that guy actually made a bet with someone to get one of you.” Isobel said suddenly.
The atmosphere around became a little weird, and Kathleen squinted her eyes and asked, “Are you sure.”
“I’m a telegrapher, Mr. Aria just now doesn’t know Occlumency.” Isobel sipped his drink and said lightly, “It’s not difficult to know what he thinks.”
“Albert must be having a hard time,” Valeria teased.
“Albert is very good at Occlumency, I can’t see through his thoughts, and I won’t casually spy on other people’s thoughts.” Isobel said calmly, “Of course, I didn’t share my boyfriend with others either. habit.”
“Don’t say that, I won’t rob you, and I can help you keep watch over him.” Valeria was very euphemistic, but Albert understood.
What’s going on with this guy, are all Ukrainian girls so open?
