The Alchemist of Harry Potter

Chapter 678 Death asks for money

On their last night in France, the LeMays had the house-elves prepare a sumptuous dinner filled with their favorite foods.

During the meal, Madame Perenal talked about her school days.It is said that Mr. Flamel was a shy boy who liked books at that time...

Isobel also talked about the story of their relationship. Compared with Mr. Nico who was shy when he was young, Albert was... Anyway, the dinner ended with a burst of laughter.

The next morning, after saying goodbye to the LeMays, Albert and Isobel passed the fireplace in Nicolas Village and headed to the Rue des Wizardes in Paris, France.

They had already greeted Mr. Kenner in advance, and the two quickly returned to the old apartment in London quietly through the hidden international Floo network.

"Fortunately, I didn't eat anything in the morning."

When he came out of the fireplace, Albert reached out to help Isobel who also fell to the ground.

"I hate this feeling!"

The two stayed in the dusty room for a while, and after they had recovered, Albert took out the invisibility cloak prepared in advance from the non-marking stretch bag, put it on and left the old apartment quietly.

The point for underage wizards to cast spells outside of school without the Ministry of Magic noticing is: don't use magic outside of the wizarding world.

Because in the wizarding world, the Ministry of Magic has no way of knowing whether you're using magic or not.

Moreover, the prohibition of underage wizards from casting spells outside the school is mainly because they do not want underage wizards to use magic indiscriminately and expose the magic world.

Albert didn't want to be troubled by the Ministry of Magic, so he always paid attention to this.

They found a remote and uninhabited place, took off the invisibility cloak covering their bodies, stopped a taxi halfway, and went to the Leaky Cauldron with Isobel.

"how do you feel?"

After getting off the car next to the bookstore, Albert paid and asked the girl beside him with a smile.

"How does it feel?"

"Use Muggle transport."

"Muggles can get along just fine without using magic."

After Isobel entered the Leaky Cauldron Bar, he asked Albert who took out his pocket watch: "What time is it now?"

"It's still half an hour before the appointed time!" Albert stuffed his pocket watch back into his pocket, and looked around for Katrina who came to join them.

"She hasn't come yet, what do you want for breakfast?"

Albert pointed to the empty seat next to him, ready to eat and wait.Because of the cross-border Floo network, neither of them had eaten in the morning.

"Same as you." Isobel looked at the wanted list on the wall, recalling Albert's previous prophecy, and couldn't help frowning.

In the Leaky Cauldron there are Blake's most wanted lists, worth ten thousand.Any wizard who can provide information to the Ministry of Magic will also receive a bonus.

The premise is that the Ministry of Magic catches Black.

As we all know, it is better to expect Black to go to prison by himself than to expect the Ministry of Magic to catch Black.

"About Potter?"

"Probably...related."

Albert went to the counter and asked Tom to get two breakfasts for the two of them. When he was inquiring about Black with Tom, Albert saw Harry Potter coming down the stairs.

When the savior saw him, there was a little surprise on his face.

"Harry Potter, why are you here?" Albert asked knowingly.

"Mr. Potter lives here temporarily." Tom said with a smile.

"Oh, live here?" Albert repeated, "Break up with relatives?"

Harry nodded awkwardly, seemingly puzzled, as if to say you didn't know.

"I just came back from France, and it seems that a lot of things have happened during this time." Albert pointed to the wanted list on the wall, "Is there any news about Black now?"

"No." Tom shook his head. "The Ministry of Magic has always been unreliable in this regard. They even released dementors and couldn't find Black."

"Tom, do you think I can get paid for providing clues?"

"Do you know where Blake is?"

"do not know."

"He can do divination." Harry noticed Tom's astonished expression and explained.

"If the Ministry of Magic is willing to pay." Albert said with a smile.

"You want money," Harry grumbled. "It would be nice to make some money, though. With your abilities..."

"I don't do thankless things. It's hard to say whether the Ministry of Magic is willing to pay the money." Albert shrugged, "Oh, my breakfast is here, see you at school."

He returned to Isobel's side and began to enjoy breakfast, and by the way, he told about the news he had inquired from Tom.

"Divination, that thing is unreliable." Tom muttered.

"He's great, never made a mistake."

Harry knew how powerful Albert was, and he also thought that Fudge should spend some Gallon to find him for divination, which would save even the arrest fee, let alone waste manpower resources looking for Blake.
Harry looked suspiciously towards the seats of Albert and Isobel, as if hesitating whether to go to work with them, it is rare to meet an acquaintance, and there is the black dog and the omen of death, he wants to hear Listen to what the other person has to say.

Just as Harry was about to lift his foot over, he stopped again, dismissing the idea.

There was a beautiful red-haired girl standing by the seat, staring at the two people who were eating at the table with strange eyes. For some reason, she always felt that the atmosphere over there was a bit weird.

"Give you."

Katrina gave Albert the list of books sent by the school.

"Here, we bought you a gift." Albert took the book list, took out the gift box from the non-traceable stretch bag and handed it to Katrina.

"This is our gift for you."

In fact, when the two of them decided to go shopping in Diagon Alley after they came back, Albert asked the house elf to buy it at a clothing store.

Since we want to go shopping together, it is necessary to bring a gift for my sister-in-law.

Katrina froze for a moment, stared at the package for a long time, and then looked at Albert again, as if saying, "Are you going to use this to bribe me?"

"Are you alone?" Isobel asked.

"Mom just left, and she already gave the money... What's with that ring?" Katrina didn't look at the package, and just accidentally caught a glimpse of the silver ring on Albert's left ring finger, and Isobel also had it on her hand. An identical ring.

"It was given by the teacher." Albert said calmly.

"This is a gift from Mr. Flamel." Isobel regretted not putting away the ring.

These two guys must have something to hide from themselves!

"Shouldn't you..."

Katrina obviously didn't believe it, she didn't think that Isobel would wear the ring on the wrong finger, and the position of the two rings was exactly the same.

"Ahem, why don't you open the package and have a look?" Isobel interrupted loudly, "We all think that hat suits you very well."

"Have you had breakfast? Do you want some too?" Albert also changed the subject.

"No, I'm not hungry!" Katrina looked a little dazed, not knowing what she was thinking.

"Let's buy them separately. I'll help you buy books." She just sat down, then stood up again, as if she didn't want to stay here any longer.

Albert and Isobel looked at each other, watching the back of Katrina's departure.

"Mom probably didn't tell her about us." Isobel sighed.

"If you are worried, do you want to follow up and have a look?"

So, the two dropped their half-eaten breakfast and secretly followed Katrina to Diagon Alley.
