Hogwarts Reading Days

At this moment, Valeria was sitting on a window seat in a shop on French Wizard Street, enjoying the strawberry ice cream in her hand, while looking at the passers-by outside the street, and suddenly said: "I thought you It will be very frustrating."

"Why do I have to be depressed?" Catherine turned her head and asked.

"You like him, don't you?" Valeria put a big mouthful of ice cream into her mouth, narrowing her eyes comfortably, "And he's getting married today, but you're not the bride."

"You are definitely not talking about yourself." Catherine looked at her friend and shook her head, "I knew from the beginning that there was no possibility between us, so I never counted on this matter, and the two sides have no feelings .”

"Why?" Valeria asked puzzled.

"He hates America, and I won't leave America." Catherine shrugged, "So, recognize the reality early!"

"You see it very openly." Valeria complained.

"Otherwise, what else can you do? Can you snatch Isobel?" Catherine mocked, "Or are you going to be his lover? That guy is not French."

"No, just very depressed."

Valeria has met a lot of men over the years, and there are also many men who chase her, but she has never met one who is better and can make her fall in love.

"You shouldn't compare them with Albert." Catherine shook her head.

"Where's Louise?" Valeria looked up at the pretty girl who had just sat down across from them.

"I gave up a long time ago." Louise shrugged.

"Have you found a boyfriend you like?" Valeria asked curiously.

"That's not true." Louise shook her head.

"Then why did you compromise?"

"Otherwise, what else can I do?" Louise glanced at the clock on the wall, planning to close the store and prepare to close early.

"What gift are you preparing, it won't be a beauty potion!"

"Yes, we have updated the latest beauty potion for several generations." Valeria blinked and said, "What have you prepared?"

"The latest silk robes from Fengya Wizard Clothing Store." Louise said without thinking, "I said it was a wedding gift for Anderson, and they even specially helped design a new style."

"Aren't you worried at all?" Valeria muttered, "Catherine originally prepared a big gift."

"Big gift?" Louise asked puzzled.

"It's nothing." Catherine shrugged, "Valeria is crazy about men."

"Quality men are hard to find."

"She is too picky, so she has never been able to find it." Catherine pointed out this unceremoniously. "In recent years, there have been quite a few boys chasing her."

"What about you?" Louise asked.

"She doesn't care, and she doesn't plan to look for it anymore." Valeria shrugged, "I plan to live like that for the rest of my life."

"When are you going to close this shop and open a beauty shop with us?" Catherine asked suddenly.

"Well, I don't know." Louise quite liked this job.

"We plan to make it an internationally renowned beauty brand." Catherine said suddenly, "Sister McDougal is also researching beauty medicine."

Louise reminded, "It's almost time."

Valeria ate up the ice cream, threw the box into the bucket next to her, stood up, and walked out of the shop together

The three walked down the street and eventually stopped in front of a dilapidated shop with the number 117 on it.

"Are you sure you're here?"

"It should be right." Louise took out a silver card with an arrow on it and marked it with number 117.

The three exchanged glances with each other, opened the door and walked into the shop, only to find that there was no one inside.

"Three, please come with me."

A house elf appeared out of nowhere, bowed slightly to the three of them, led them into the room, pointed to the basin on the table and said, "Please wash your faces here."

"Wash your face?" Valeria frowned slightly.

"Yes, wash your face." The house-elf said respectfully, "If any of the invited guests is under the Imperius Curse, you can tell after washing your face."

"How can you be sure we are real people?" Catherine raised her eyebrows and asked.

"The map in my hand can show the names of the guests who come here." The house elf politely explained to the three of them.In order to ensure that Dobby can handle his tasks flexibly, Albert has given him Felicity Potion in advance.

"That guy is really careful." Catherine was a little surprised.

"Mr. Anderson is being targeted by a monster who can't even mention his name." Dobby the house elf explained, "In order to ensure the safety of the guests who come to participate, we have to take multiple layers of protective measures."

"Can this basin of water make people get rid of the Imperius Curse?" Catherine became even more curious.

"I don't know. Mr. Anderson said that this basin of water can clearly tell whether any of the guests has been under the Imperius Curse." The house elf simply repeated.

After speaking, he pointed to a black magic detector next to the water basin. There was also a mirror on the edge of the wall, which was obviously also a black magic detector.

"It seems that Albert is really well prepared." Catherine took the tissue to wipe the water on her face.

"It's a pity, my makeup!" Valeria was very depressed.

"It's okay, you're still pretty without makeup." Louise teased with a smile, "And if you dress up more beautifully than the bride, it won't be a disappointment."

At this moment, sirens suddenly sounded around.

"what happened?"

"Someone is coming again." Dobby glanced at the siren, then his eyes landed on the map, and he explained to the three girls, "They should also be guests from the wedding. It will take some time for them to arrive. I will see you off first." past."

The three were Apparated by Dobby.

They soon found themselves in what appeared to be a bush, surrounded by large rocks, and the house-elf led them on, but there was nothing ahead.

"No problem, Mr. Weasley," said the house-elf.

A red-haired man appeared out of nowhere, nodded slightly towards the three of them, and after recovering the silver cards in their hands, handed them a piece of parchment, reminding them: "Please read what you see in your heart."

"The Loyalty Curse?"

The well-informed Catherine guessed the reason, and sure enough, after Mo Nian read the content on the paper, an old manor entrance appeared in front of them, and there were various items suspected of black magic defense props at the entrance. There is also a thing like a map, also marked with their names.

Next to the map is the place where guests' gifts are piled up, and another red-haired man is helping to record the guests' gifts.

"plz follow me."

Fred in a suit greeted warmly.

Everyone likes beautiful women. When they went to the tent, they found that many people had already come, and the seats of these people were separated. Louise also saw her cousin Fu Rong, who was with a handsome boy Speak intimately.

"It's here." Fred pointed to Fleur's table and said, "Albert's young foreign friends are all here, maybe you can find a common topic."

Louise greeted her cousin a little unexpectedly, "Furong, is this your boyfriend?"

"This is my fiancé Bill. We just got engaged a while ago." Fu Rong introduced with a smile, "I think it should be related to the Triwizard Tournament. This is my cousin Louise."

"Victor Krum, I also met in the Triwizard Tournament, I think you should know, this is..."

"Hermione, Albert's friend at Hogwarts." Hermione looked a little embarrassed. She found that there were too many beautiful girls at this table, which put her under a lot of pressure.

Viktor Krum obviously also felt surprised, but he quickly found a topic so as not to let Hermione beside him notice his abnormality.

"Harry Potter didn't come?"

"Albert did not invite Harry to the wedding in consideration of his safety." Hermione explained, while secretly shifting her attention to Valeria and Catherine, who obviously had no Veela blood. But the beauty is still not inferior to Louise and Fleur.

"This is Valeria and Catherine." Louise introduced.

"I'm Isobel's pen pal, and we met at the Potions Tournament." Valeria said with a smile, "We are currently working together to develop beauty potions."

"I am Albert's potion partner in North America, and I am also their friend." Catherine said casually, "I am also cooperating to develop beauty potions."

"Beauty potion?" Hermione raised her eyebrows slightly.

"Maybe it's different from what you think." Valeria smiled and took out two delicate boxes from her bag and handed them to Hermione and Fleur respectively, and introduced them, "It can make your face look more beautiful." Clean, fair and lustrous skin, one bottle is used for washing face, one bottle is used for maintenance, if you feel good, you can..."

"Cough cough."

Catherine coughed and interrupted Valeria's sales pitch.

Hermione stared at Valeria dumbfounded, and looked suspiciously at the beauty potion in front of her.

"I'm using it too, and it works really well." Louise asked suspiciously, "Catherine, where are you going?"

"Saw a few friends."

Catherine walked towards several old people, greeted them briefly, and chatted casually before returning.

"friend?"

Krum looked at those old people, apparently unable to understand.

"Should be academic friends." Hermione explained.

"Long time no see, Fleur, I heard they say you are engaged and plan to stay in England."

A voice attracted everyone's attention, and everyone looked up and found that the person who came was a very beautiful girl.

"Yes, this is Bill, my fiancé." Fu Rong introduced, "Yanila, the most famous contemporary singer."

"Hello."

After greeting everyone with a smile, Yanila sat next to Hermione and asked, "What were you talking about just now?"

"cosmetic……"

"A lot of celebrities are here today." Catherine said suddenly.

"Yeah, those who didn't know it thought it was an international party." Yanila said softly, "By the way, have you heard? The witness is Mr. Nicole Flamel."

"Sorry, what did you say?" Hermione suspected that she had misheard.

"The witness is Monsieur Nicole Flamel," repeated Yanila.

"Isn't Mr. Flamel already dead?" Hermione asked puzzled, she always thought that the witness was Dumbledore.

"Who said that?" Yanila asked back.

"The Philosopher's Stone was destroyed years ago," said Hermione.

"Does the Philosopher's Stone really exist?"

"Yes, I heard it was destroyed."

"A lot of people are very interested in being the witness. Later, when they heard that the witness was Mr. LeMay, no one would argue anymore." Yanila said what she had heard, "It is said that Albert is actually LeMay. Mr. Mei's favorite student."

"Is that the legendary Nicole Flamel?" Valeria looked at Catherine, she felt that the other party must know something.

"I don't know." Catherine shook her head and said, "Actually, there is no need to make a fuss. If you pay attention, you will find that many guests here are famous."

"The wedding seems to be about to start. Should we go and sit there?" Hermione noticed that many people stood up and walked into the tent. There were many rows of chairs there, which felt like a church arrangement. In the big tent There was a lot of jittery anticipation all around.
