Chapter 986 Cream Puff

 “Did you go out just now?”

As soon as he got home, Albert was caught by Isobel.

 “I just went out to buy something, don’t worry, I used a compound potion.”

 “Why don’t you ask Kara to buy it for you?”

 Isobel felt that Albert was not telling the truth, or only telling half the truth.

“I dropped by Hogsmeade Village and picked up some things from an old friend.” Albert stepped forward to give Isobel a hug, but was dodged by the other party.

 “Don’t worry, I’ve always been able to protect myself very well.”

 “You are becoming more and more fond of lying.” Isobel said expressionlessly.

"I am telling the truth."

Albert was indeed telling the truth, he just didn't finish the sentence.

 He took the bag from the house elf, took out the gift he bought for Isobel, and handed it to his girlfriend with a smile.

 “You will definitely like what I bought you.”

"what?"

 Taking the paper bag handed over by Albert, Isobel opened it and took a look at the contents. Isobel hesitated for a moment but ultimately did not take it out.

 “Don’t like it?” Albert asked.

 “Don’t eat.” Isobel said with a straight face. She suspected that Albert wanted to make herself 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 desserts for everyone."

 “Good master.”

 The house elf put down the bag and turned to leave the hall.

 “Come on, ah!” Albert opened his mouth and said.

 “Don’t change the subject.” Isobel turned her head to avoid the spoon handed by Albert.

However, after Albert tried several times and promised to exercise with her in the next few days, the girl hesitantly opened her mouth and held the spoon.

 “How does it taste?” Albert asked with a smile.

 “Try it yourself.”

Isobel took the spoon and gave Albert a spoonful to put in his mouth.

“It’s quite sweet. It’s very comfortable to eat ice cream in summer.”

 The two were sitting on the sofa and after playing an intimate game of feeding each other, Albert suddenly asked: "How is your research over there?"

"The progress is stuck. I am considering whether to communicate with the American side. They must have their own results. Maybe exchanging results with each other can promote the progress of youth potion research." Isobel originally wanted to monopolize Albert. research results.

  Unfortunately, she found that she could not advance the research progress alone.

As for Katrina, unfortunately, although her potion skills are good, they can't help much.

Perhaps, if Albert seriously studies the potion of youth, he might make faster progress than the rest of them combined, but recently Albert is either studying the notes left for him by Dumbledore and Nico Flamel, or He was making some magic items and was obviously preparing for the upcoming turmoil in the magic world. He didn't seem very interested in the youth potion that the girls cared about.

 In normal times, Isobel would definitely take Albert to study together and let him help no matter what method was used. But now a turbulent period in the magical world is coming, and Albert is working hard to get through this period stably. She also knows very well that she should not disturb Albert now, and sometimes she will even take the initiative to help.

 Albert's energy is limited after all, even if he has a time turner.

"By the way, next, I plan to brew the Felixir and the compound potion. Can you take the time to help me make them?" Albert said suddenly.

"I haven't tried Fuling Elixir. This thing is more troublesome than expected." Isobel frowned and reminded, "If possible, I suggest you ask your old friend to get it. Anyway, Fuling Elixir cannot be overdosed. .”

"It doesn't matter. I made a note, which can reduce a lot of mistakes." Albert said to Isobel, "I have also asked someone to help me gather the materials."

“Is this why you went out?” Isobel guessed the reason.

"Yes, it's not reliable to ask others to help. I think I should stock up on some elixirs." Albert said without thinking, "Sometimes, it's not just me who needs luck."

"Okay, but I can't guarantee that it will be successful. In fact, if you brew it yourself, the probability of success may be greater." Isobel is very aware of Albert's potion level. If you brew it all the way, it should be successful. .

 After all, even Bafei’s brain-reviving potion was perfectly prepared.

"It doesn't matter, there is always a need for trial and error. Those ingredients can make two servings." Albert comforted, "This is for our wedding. I think we all need to be lucky that day."

Isobel thought for a moment and nodded in agreement with Albert's words.

 In this case, the Blessing Elixir will indeed ensure that the day will be more perfect.

 At least, don’t cause problems.

"By the way, what's the situation outside? The Daily Prophet is full of reports attacking Professor Dumbledore." Isobel scooped up a spoonful and stuffed it into Albert's mouth.

 “As expected, try this thing.” Albert took out a small bun from the paper bag and handed it to Isobel’s mouth.

 “What is this?” Isobel’s eyes lit up and she asked curiously.

 “Cream puff.” Albert said proudly: “Isn’t it 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 handed it to Albert’s mouth.

 After the latter bit it, he pointed towards Isobel.

 “It’s true.” Isobel muttered and leaned forward. She actually doesn't hate these overly intimate actions, she even likes them because they feel like she's just falling 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 a blank expression.

“I bought a lot of sweets that you like, come and try them too!” Albert was not embarrassed at all, he could only say that he was getting thicker and thicker.

 “This pastry is very good.”

Isobel recommended cream puffs to her sister, and seemed to intend to use the food to divert the slightly awkward atmosphere around her.

“Is this a Muggleland dessert? I’ve never had anything like this before.” Katrina sighed inwardly, picked up a cream puff, and changed the subject.

This is also the reason why she doesn’t really want to live with them. Sometimes it’s really embarrassing.

 Fortunately, the cream puffs made Katrina feel a little better.

"Yes, there are indeed more delicacies in the Muggle world than in the wizarding world." Albert took out a box of ice cream from the paper bag and handed it to the other party, "This is ice cream, strawberry flavor. I remember you like this."

 “Muggles do know how to enjoy life better.” Katrina had a deep understanding of this during her stay here.

"I just bought a bunch of ingredients. If you want, you can ask Kara to prepare it for you." Albert thought for a while and warned, "However, it doesn't matter if you eat a little of this stuff. If you eat too much, you will easily get fat."

“I run and do yoga with my sister every day, but you don’t do much exercise yourself.” Katrina glanced at Albert, stuffed another cream puff into her mouth, and said without saltiness.

“I also exercise every day.” Albert shrugged, “I dare say my body is in better shape than ninety-nine percent of wizards.”

This is actually not a boo, because many wizards don't actually exercise much.

 At this moment, the house elf walked into the hall.

 “Master, I have news about you.”
