Since the last letter from Hogwarts, Nia had been depressed, and the inability to go to Hogwarts to learn magic was a big blow to her.

After discussing it privately with Herb, Albert called Grandpa Luke on Charles Street and invited them to his home.

This tactic worked quite well. Grandpa Luke's arrival improved Nia's mood considerably; he undoubtedly knew better than anyone else in the family how to comfort Nia.

Of course, Fat Cat Tom also deserves much credit.

Pets can be really comforting sometimes.

In early August, Nia was preparing to design the School Uniform for Casterton Middle School. Albert didn't go with her; he needed to stay home and finish the rest of his holiday homework.

Outside the door, the sound of Tom scratching at the wooden door could be heard.

"Stop fooling around, Tom."

Albert got up, opened the door, and put the cat into the room.

As soon as Tom entered the room, he jumped onto the desk and lay down on the books in front of Albert, his fluffy tail wagging from side to side, seemingly in a very good mood.

Albert looked at the old cat in front of him, shook his head helplessly, and gave up on doing his holiday homework. He picked up the newspaper next to him and started reading the headline from a few days ago: the Gringotts trespassing incident.

The Goblin of Gringotts claimed that the intruders failed to steal anything because the contents of the vault had already been taken.

Quirrell failed to steal the Philosopher's Stone!

Albert took out a notebook from the drawer, which was filled with Chinese characters characters. He wrote down the plot of the Harry Potter novels that he could still remember.

One of them has already proven true.

"It seems that even with me, this little butterfly, some of the inertia of history will still continue," he murmured to himself, gazing at his notes.

Philosopher's Stone!

It's a pretty good thing.

After all, the Philosopher's Stone can be used to concoct Elixir of Life.

Nicolas Flamel and his wife drank that stuff and lived for hundreds of years.

Albert, however, did not particularly desire immortality.

After all, Mandrakes roots can be transformed into anti-aging potions through complex Potions- making processes, and he has the recipe for such Potions.

Although it's just a recipe, Albert believes he can successfully concoct this Potions if he's willing to spend some time.

After all, he's a man with a cheat code.

Albert fiddled with Tom's tail, flipping through the densely packed notes, and couldn't help but sigh. Ever since that savior started attending Hogwarts, it had become less safe.

Although you can get a lot of quest and experience rewards from Voldemort, Albert has no desire to confront Voldemort head-on.

After all, his own life was more important. Moreover, Albert preferred to make his fortune quietly, ideally by plotting against his opponents in secret, leaving Voldemort confused about who was targeting him.

Harry Potter, my savior, I hope you can be more reliable!

Albert looked at Tom, who was gently biting his fingers, and hesitated for a moment. "Hogwarts is so dangerous. Do you think I should take you to the school?"

Albert was really not comfortable with his cat.

There's no way around it, Tom is just too fat, this is definitely a big problem.

That said, there was a task on the Task Panel last time to help Tom lose weight, but he has been leaving it unfinished.

Albert rubbed Tom's fat belly, sighed softly, and figured he had no chance of completing the task.

Just as Albert was fretting about his cat's obesity, Shera flew in through the window and threw a letter onto the desk in front of Albert.

"You've worked hard! Go and rest!" Just as Albert was about to feed it nuts, Tom suddenly pounced on him, grabbing his hand with all four paws and taking the owl nuts. And so, the cat and the owl began their daily standoff once again.

It took Albert quite a while to calm the angry Shera and get her back to her cage to rest.

I tidied up the messy table and picked up the letter I had just received from the floor.

It was written by Fred and George, inviting Albert to their house. In the letter, the Twins complained about Percy becoming Prefect and that Percy was always nagging about it.

Albert pushed Tom's head away, saying irritably, "You still can't understand it, or have you become a genius?"

Just then, another owl flew in through the window, dropped the letter on the table, and flew away.

Albert opened the letter and found it was an invitation from Professor Broad. Professor Broad had said he would give them an explanation last time, and it seemed this was probably the time.

Albert flipped through the calendar next to him, preparing to find a suitable time to get these two things done at once. Well, three things in total. He also needed to go to Diagon Alley to buy all the necessary items.

Just as Albert was pondering this, a third owl flew in through his window. Tom was furious. He hated owls, and these guys kept flying into his territory. They were practically asking for trouble!

Fortunately, Albert reacted quickly and grabbed Tom before he pounced on him; otherwise, it would have been another chaotic brawl.

The owl wasn't afraid of Tom at all. It stared at the fat cat in front of it, letting out a threatening hoot, ready to fight Tom.

"Alright, don't get excited, it'll be gone soon." Albert looked helpless. He hadn't expected so many letters to arrive all at once today. What was going on? Just then, Tom suddenly broke free from Albert's arm and used his size advantage to pounce on the owl, successfully scaring it away.

"Alright, alright, I know you're better." Albert looked at Tom helplessly, opened the letter and began reading the letter that Sera Harishis had given him.

What was initially thought to be a routine academic exchange turned into a surprise when Sera Harishis wrote to Albert, offering to introduce him to several Alchemy Masters and asking if Albert was available recently.

The last academic exchange? To be honest, Albert has always felt that this Sera Harishis might have some connection with Brood and his group.

In the afternoon, Nia finally returned from shopping.

Urged on by Daisy, she changed into her newly made School Uniform.

"How was it?" Nia asked shyly.

"It suits you very well," Albert said. The school School Uniform looked a bit like a nun's habit and it looked quite nice.

He took several photos of Nia from various angles as souvenirs. He has taken a lot of photos in the past two years, and his photography skills have improved.

Just as Albert was about to take a group photo of the three of them, Nia suddenly disappeared from the camera.

"Nia, where are you going?" Albert looked up and asked in confusion.

"There's an owl." The girl picked up the letter the owl had dropped, looked at the sender's name, and her smile vanished instantly.

"Your letter."

"Thank you." Albert glanced at the letter; it was from Isobel. As he put the letter back in his pocket, Nia couldn't help but ask, "Who is Isobel McDougal?"

"A pen pal I met Runic Script." Albert opened the letter, glanced at its contents, and then handed the letter to Nia.

"Is it really okay?" Nia said, but she still reached out and took the letter. Looking at the dense, strange characters on it, she felt a little dizzy.

"She asked me if I had bought the latest Complete Ancient Runes Guide," Albert said with a smile as he put away the letter.

"I don't understand it, so how am I supposed to know if you're lying?" Nia grumbled in dissatisfaction.

Albert was also quite helpless about his sister.

However, he did lie.
