Isobel looked up at her husband who was reading the manuscript, closed the newspaper in his hand and sighed softly.
Last night, Albert went out for a spin, and as a result, today's "Daily Prophet" had so many big news in one breath.
Although Albert came back very early last night, Isobel knew that Albert had a time changer in his hand.
"What's wrong?" Albert asked sideways.
"The UK is not safe now, so don't go out at night in the future." Isobel leaned over and kissed Albert's forehead and said, "Otherwise, I would be worried."
"Sorry for worrying you." Albert was rather helpless, and it was not surprising that Isobel saw the problem from the newspaper.
"Okay, forgive you." Isobel took out two books and shook it in front of Albert, "However, you have to read this with me later."
"Baby Parenting Guide?"
"Yes, everyone is watching this at home now, of course you have to watch it with us too."
"Of course, no problem. After I finish reading this manuscript, let's look at it together." Albert felt a little guilty for his dereliction of duty. He knew that he had to take on the responsibility of a father, lest Isobel would take it. pressure.
Moreover, Isobel is right, Albert does not have any experience. Although he is an irresponsible father, he has already planned to hand over the responsibility of taking care of the baby to others, but he needs to know about it after all. father's responsibility.
This is actually quite a pleasant thing.
Katrina occasionally joins the discussion, and with the help of Mrs. McDoug, they draw up a list of items that will come in handy as the whole family prepares for the new baby.
They even thought of the child's name, and if it was a boy, it would be called Blair, in honor of Isobel's father, Blair. If it's a girl, it's called Alice, the name comes from Muggle fairy tales, and Isobel wants her daughter to live happily and not have a bad childhood like her.
"Do you like boys or girls?" Isobel looked away from the book and turned to look at Albert, who was asking Mrs. McDougall for advice.
"The boy is too noisy," Albert said with a smile, "the daughter is the father's little padded jacket."
"Daughter?" Isobel patted her stomach and murmured.
"What daughter?" Katrina asked suspiciously.
"If you like boys, then it's better to ask for another one." Albert softly comforted Isobel, he really didn't care about the gender of the child.
"Simply cheating," Katrina grumbled.
She was more curious about how Isobel had guessed.
Via Legilimency?
still…"
"Generally, for more important things, Albert will divination in advance." Isobel met his sister's gaze and explained: "With Albert's character, the gender of the child will probably be the reason he likes it."
Katrina opened her mouth slightly, and she suddenly found a magical understanding between Albert and Isobel.
"Will this book be a big seller?" Katrina changed the subject.
"I don't know." Albert shook his head, "but I don't think the sales will be too bad. After all, as long as it is practical, most families are willing to keep a copy."
"Okay dear, don't worry about the child."
Albert kissed Isobel's frustrated cheek and said, "We are still young, and we can take care of them even if we need a few more. And, as I predicted, there must be more than one child."
"I'm not a pig."
Isobel was a little depressed, Albert really needed an heir.
Albert took the double-sided mirror handed over by the house elf, and in the mirror was the slightly tired face of Percy Weasley.
"You look like you need a break."
"I've been working overtime the last few days." Percy smiled wryly, "Congratulations on the marriage."
"Thank you, I think you contacted me, definitely not to talk about this." Albert went straight to the point.
"The appeal of Duke Bee and the owner of the joke shop has been dismissed by the Ministry of Magic on the grounds of insufficient evidence." Percy thought for a while and said, "As for the culprit who attacked the shop, I still remember Kenneth. Toler?"
"That guy's father?"
"Yes, Mr. Toller tried to get a share of the defense against the dark arts through inferior products, and he almost lost his underwear because of the monopoly of the Ministry of Magic." Percy smiled helplessly, "He attracted a group of unfortunate people who were also losing money. To bring down your store and regain the market, there are Death Eaters in this riot, and several stores that compete with you have provided partial financial assistance in some way."
"Duke Bee and the owner of the Joko joke shop?"
"It's a bit difficult to trouble them with just a confession," Percy reminded.
"I see, thank Minister Scrimgeour for me." Albert closed the double-sided mirror without giving Percy a chance.
"It's only been a few months, and the guy is starting to look more and more like a politician," Albert muttered.
With that said, he went to the study where the double-sided mirror was placed, and contacted Fred and George through the mirror.
"Is the matter over there resolved?" Albert asked.
"solved."
"You'd better move out as soon as possible." Albert reminded, "This matter has the shadow of the Death Eaters, and it is no longer safe for you to stay there."
"That... Sirius invited us to the headquarters of the Order of the Phoenix, and the family also wanted us to move there."
"You decide for yourself," Albert interrupted. "However, the headquarters of the Order of the Phoenix is protected by the Brave Loyalty Charm, and we can't even enter."
Fred and George were both stunned and understood what Albert meant.
"Well, you're right, we will continue to be a specialty store to provide goods. It's really inconvenient to stay at the headquarters of the Order of the Phoenix, and it's easy to disturb others." George nodded and said, "It's better to go to the safe house you prepared, where it should be much more convenient. ."
"If you are free, take some time to contact Joko, and see if he is willing to join us." Albert urged.
"I don't think it's very likely." Fred shook his head. "That guy probably hates us now."
"Their monopoly appeal has been dismissed," Albert reminded.
"When did this happen?"
"I just received the news." Albert continued, "You tell Joko directly, if he doesn't want the store to close down and give up this business, joining us is his best choice at the moment. As for the issue of utilization and distribution, if he wants to If so, we'll talk about it later."
"If he doesn't want to?"
"Then we will wait for his shop to close down, then buy his shop and reopen the branch in Hogsmeade." Albert said calmly, "If Joko is rational enough, he will definitely agree to our win-win proposal. "
"By the way, have you read the latest newspaper?" Speaking of this, Fred was extremely excited, "Malfoy Manor seems to have been burned to ashes by someone, and I don't know that little Malfoy Did the brat get burned together?"
"It should be revenge." Albert began to open his eyes to tell the truth, "After all, Lucius Malfoy used to be the second-in-command of the mysterious man. He has done a lot of bad things, and there must be many enemies. It's not surprising that I'm in trouble now, and I want to do the same."
