My Heart Is So Tired

"I'm finally back!"

On a sweltering summer day, Albert dragged his suitcase onto Tiber Avenue, looked up at No. 19 Resident, and suddenly felt a surge of joy at being home.

After returning to Britain using the Portkey, he retrieved his wand and other magical items from Mr. Brood. Bard Broad, declined his invitation to dinner, and hurriedly took a ride home.

However, Albert never expected that he would be turned away when he returned home.

With no one else in the house in sight, Albert, who had no keys, stared blankly at the iron gate blocking his way for a while.

Then, he took out lock picking tools from the Transfiguration Lizard Skin Bag and pried open his own door lock.

Breaking into your own home is definitely a very novel experience.

Albert tossed his suitcase into the hallway, went straight into the kitchen, grabbed a bottle of soda from the refrigerator, and took a big gulp.

Back in the living room, turning on the air conditioning, I found a note hidden under the remote. "Albert, we're going to visit your Grandpa Luke for a few days. Tom and Shera are with us too. If you come back from abroad before we get home, remember to eat on time, and call us if you need anything. —Daisy"

"Seriously!"

Albert turned on the air conditioner, lay down on the sofa to enjoy the breeze, and prepared to take a nap, but then he felt like something was wrong.

What's the point of leaving a note if the door is locked?

so...

Albert went into the yard, turned over a stone, and took out a key from the bottom of the processed stone.

"Never mind, the weather must have made me dizzy from the heat." Albert patted his head, feeling that he needed to lie down and rest for a while.

Using Portkey is hardly a comfortable experience.

When Albert woke up on the sofa, it was already dark. He rummaged through the refrigerator and finally had to ride his bicycle to the nearby supermarket to buy Italy.

Yes, it's actually what's called a square face.

This thing isn't popular in the Britain; it just sits gathering dust in the corner of supermarkets.

As for why I don't eat instant noodles, I can only say that Britain instant noodles are simply unbearable to look at.

Albert made himself an egg and Italy pasta dish and baked some bread crisps as a snack after the meal.

After dinner, I called Herb directly; they wouldn't be back until tomorrow.

Nia asked Albert on the phone if he had brought her any local specialties.

United States wizarding snacks, well, they're actually not much different from Muggle snacks.

Although it may be hard to admit, the lives of United States wizards are closer to those of Muggle.

United States wizards do sell some specialties, but the American Magical Congress strictly controls this, so their Wizard Street are not as bustling as Diagon Alley Britain.

To bring gifts for his family and girlfriend, he even asked Catherine to take him to Wizard Street in United States, also known as the American Wizard Secret Exchange.

The American Wizard Secret Exchange is located deep underground in a narrow alley in New York. The entrance there has been magically widened, and it is said to have several hidden entrances, all of which have been enchanted with spells to drive away Muggle.

Before entering, you need to get confirmation from the graffiti image at the entrance before you are allowed to enter Wizard Street.

It must be said that United States wizards are more wary of Muggle than prisons are of prisoners trying to escape.

After quickly tidying up the dishes, Albert sat on the sofa and tried to contact Isobel, whom he hadn't spoken to for several days.

Unfortunately, Isobel did not respond to him immediately.

After waiting for a long time, Albert could only put away the Two-Way Mirror and take out Catherine's mirror to try to contact her.

Okay, he was just bored and wanted to find someone to chat with.

Before long, Catherine's beautiful face appeared in the mirror.

"Good evening!"

Albert was a little surprised. He had just tried it out, but he didn't expect to actually make contact.

"Night?"

On the other side of the mirror, Catherine looked out the window, her voice filled with doubt.

"Oh, I almost forgot, Britain is five hours ahead of United States!" Albert casually started a conversation, such as the possibility of turning American Mint into a remedy for skin rashes.

Catherine, on the other side of the Two-Way Mirror, was stunned, probably never expecting Albert to talk to her about such a topic.

She was actually quite skilled at Potions, and soon, with Albert's guidance, she began to concoct Potions, obtaining a cream for treating skin rashes.

"That's it?"

Catherine looked at the finished product in front of her, still somewhat dazed.

Although she didn't know how effective it would be, the faint fragrance made her think that the ointment should be effective.

Suddenly, Catherine had a strong urge to team up with Albert and get him to help her research Beauty Potion that could preserve her youthful appearance.

Catherine was also a girl who loved beauty. She knew very well that she was at the peak of her youth and beauty, but beauty was destined to be fleeting. Perhaps, with Albert's talent, she might be able to make it last.

If it succeeds, I believe many girls will go crazy because of it.

Of course, Albert was unaware of the United States girl's thoughts. After quickly ending the conversation, he took out Isobel's Two-Way Mirror.

"You're back from United States. How was it there?"

The girl, who had just come out of the bathroom and was drying her hair with a towel, sat down at her desk and smiled as she looked at her boyfriend.

"Not good. The magical society in United States is different from that in other Europe countries." Albert gave Isobel a brief introduction to the American magical world.

"And what about Miss Catherine?"

"Miss Catherine?" Albert was taken aback. He didn't understand why Isobel knew about Catherine.

"You mean Nicholas's granddaughter?" Albert's mind raced as he asked, puzzled, "What's wrong?"

"You don't know?" Isobel's expression grew increasingly strange.

"Know what?"

"Your gossip and scandals!"

As he spoke, Isobel held up a newspaper with a black and white photo on it. It was a photo of him and Catherine taken by someone when they went shopping in Wizard Street. The angle wasn't great, but you could still clearly see the two people in the photo.

"This photo! It must have been taken when I asked Catherine to take me to Wizard Street in United States to buy souvenirs for my family, and someone secretly took it." Albert looked enlightened, then shook his head and smiled wryly. "Speaking of which, United States reporters are really disgusting. All I did was refuse their interview, and they'll do anything to create a story!"

"I think you'd better deal with the Daily Prophet interview," Isobel suddenly reminded him. "There are rumors about you in France too."

As she spoke, she took out another newspaper and found that the person on the other side of the Two-Way Mirror was stunned.

The photo of Louise kissing him upon their first meeting inexplicably became part of his scandal.

"Not only that."

Isobel took out the Daily Prophet from not long ago, which was full of random talk about his liking for beautiful girls older than him.

"You know, this is just a way for them to attract public attention." Albert suddenly felt very tired.

"I know, I just wanted to remind you that the newspapers are almost portraying you as a womanizer who likes to have multiple relationships at the same time." Isobel couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle.

"Stop laughing, help me think of something." Albert slumped onto the sofa and complained to his girlfriend on the other side of the mirror, "You certainly don't want people to say your boyfriend is a womanizer, do you?"

"Who made you famous?" Isobel shrugged helplessly, indicating that he couldn't help her.

It seems that "Harry Potter" can no longer be used as a book title, and they say they need to change the name. Although Lazy Cat has already thought of one, just in case (it's already taken), I'm asking for a few more suggestions here.

If you have any good book titles to suggest, please leave a comment.

It is said that when the book title is changed, it may be suddenly taken down.
