dusk.

Just after jogging, Katrina, who was breathing well, was sitting on the swing in the corner of the courtyard to rest. She looked up at the sunset in the sky, and then looked back at the flowerbed in the courtyard, letting her body sway slightly with the swing. Know what's on your mind.

Since Isobel and Albert started their post-wedding trips, the home has been empty, with only her and her mother left.

Although there are house-elves to help take care of everything, and life is very good, she can do what she likes every day, and she doesn't need to be afraid like the wizards in the outside world, but Katrina is still a little tired of this boring life.

In fact, she also knew that she had such an idea that it was very stupid, and even a bit mean.

It's very unsafe outside, even if the Ministry of Magic is forcefully suppressing the Death Eaters, but those vicious guys still come out to make troubles from time to time, not to mention that she is easily targeted by the Death Eaters because of Albert's relationship.

In fact, it is undoubtedly a very lucky thing to be able to stay here and be a rice bug, and survive the current turbulent period, but...

"Looks like you're still too busy."

Mrs. McDougall's voice interrupted Katrina's thoughts.

"Didn't I help you compile that book every day?" Katrina raised her head and protested to her mother dissatisfied.

"Tell you something."

Mrs. McDougall ignored Katrina's complaint and said suddenly.

"What's up?"

Katrina was a little impatient, she always felt that it would not be a good thing.

"I'm going to give you all the Galleons I've earned since the book was published," said Mrs. McDougall flatly.

"For me, why?" Katrina doubted. "And, are you sure that book will sell?"

"Give you start-up capital." Mrs. McDougall is confident that her book will sell well. "Isobel has Albert to take care of them, and they don't need this money at all, and you just graduated, you need to have one on hand. money."

"Oh well, you're right, I do need a little Galleon."

Katrina didn't have much of a mental burden to get the money, she'd been helping to compile the book and never expected it to make as many Galleons as Albert was worried about them from the beginning. Something to look for.

"So, the rest of the editing work is left to you." Mrs. McDougall nodded with satisfaction, "Don't worry, I will be responsible for helping to keep an eye on it."

"Are you sure you're not joking?"

Katrina couldn't help but widen her eyes. She suspected that her mother just disliked her being too idle and deliberately found something to do for her.

"You don't want to open a beauty shop, you must have some start-up capital." Mrs. McDougall stared at her worried daughter, "That's it, or do you want to rely on Albert? Although I think Albert I probably won't care about helping you, but is this really good?"

Katrina was silent.

Although she did think about opening a beauty shop, she really hadn't thought about Kanon's issues. According to the original plan, she should open a beauty shop with everyone.

"Even if you don't want to open a store, you still need some of your own savings. It's not a good idea to always rely on others!" Mrs. McDougall reminded, "Don't forget, we don't know how long we're going to be here, don't waste yourself in vain precious life."

"You still think I'm too busy." Katrina was extremely depressed. "And the meaning of life is not just making money."

"We didn't publish this book just to make money," Mrs. McDougall corrected. "There will be times in the near future when people will need it."

"You just believe what he says."

Katrina actually wanted to say something more, but in the end it turned into a helpless sigh.

"With a job, it's not easy to be cranky." Mrs. McDougall sat on the swing next to her.

"I'm not thinking about it."

Katrina didn't bother to argue with Mrs. McDougall. She reached out and touched the fat cat lying firmly on the swing, and asked, "Are they back?"

"Not yet..." Mrs. McDougall asked with a light sigh, "Have you read the book I gave you?"

"It's not me who is pregnant." Katrina was even more depressed.

"Isobel needs your care," reminded Mrs. McDougall.

"I don't think Isobel needs my care. She didn't need anyone else to take care of her since she was a child." Katrina curled her lips, feeling some indescribable feeling in her heart.

"She's your sister," reminded Mrs. McDougall.

"I know what you mean."

"You've grown up, and I don't want to nag you all the time." Mrs. McDougall glanced at her daughter and continued: "Think about it, and talk to Isobel when you have time, they should will be back."

Katrina didn't say anything, she got up from the swing, picked up the fat cat that was still lying and yawning, put it on the ground, and walked to the bathroom alone.

"Alas, uneasy guy." Mrs. McDougall shook her head.

Because I said hello in advance, today's dinner is extraordinarily rich.

When the house-elves brought the sumptuous food to the table, the door of the restaurant was pushed open, and Albert and Isobel in lazy home clothes walked in.

"Welcome home."

Katrina stepped forward to give Isobel a warm hug, and after kissing the other's cheek, she pulled her to the seat next to her.

"It's not that exaggerated."

Isobel felt a little amused, looking at Tom who was excitedly rubbing his head against Albert's ankle.

"Long time no see Tom." Albert squatted down and touched the excited fat cat's head, picked it up again and shook the weight, and said with a smile, "I'm fat again."

"Okay, let's eat first." Mrs. McDougall greeted with a smile.

Dinner is very strange, fried dumplings, miscellaneous fish soup, Italian fried noodles, beef stew with potatoes... There is a feeling of bringing together the delicacies of various countries.

During the meal, several people chatted about travel after marriage.

Mrs. McDougall was a little surprised that they had gone on a post-wedding trip by sea.

"So, you are actually hiding under the sea for your honeymoon?" Katrina couldn't understand what they were thinking.

"It should be said on the boat." Albert corrected.

Katrina didn't care about Albert's words. She ate the food on the plate and looked at her sister secretly, always feeling that Isobel was more beautiful than before.

"Are you sure?" asked Mrs. McDougall. "I'll check it out for you later."

"Well, I've actually checked."

Isobel remembered the scene where he and Albert went to the Muggle pharmacy to buy something, and it was a little embarrassing to sleep.

"It still has to be checked again, and there are some things that should be paid special attention to after pregnancy." After dinner, Mrs. McDougall took Isobel to the specially vacated medical room.

"Is there any problem here at home?" Albert asked as he hugged Tom.

"No, it's just boring to stay at home all the time." Katrina glanced at Albert who was playing with the cat, and said calmly, "The cat is lazy, I can't make it move."

"It doesn't matter, Tom is like this, there is no need to force it." Albert didn't care about this, and continued to ask, "What about the British magic world?"

"I've kept all the more important news papers for you, they're all here." Katrina walked to the cabinet, took out a stack of newspapers and placed it in front of Albert, recalling: "Scrimgeour has been The death penalty for the dark wizard and the fact that he fined the Death Eaters were exposed, and the word of mouth in the magical world is polarized."

"The effect is not bad." Albert was not too surprised by this, and Scrimgeour's actions undoubtedly offended some purebloods.

Scrimgeour probably wouldn't have been so extreme if he hadn't known in advance that he was likely to die in office.

It's a pity that someone stepped in.

"Most of the dark wizards are hiding and don't dare to come out to make trouble, for fear of being caught and sent to trial." Katrina suspects that Scrimgeour's radical approach is related to Albert, "However, the Death Eaters are still Still on the move, they burned Scrimgeour's home in retaliation."

"Also, your "Guide to Self-Defense" has sold so well that it is expected to be the best-selling book of the year." Katrina pointed to the new "Guide to Self-Defense" on the table and said, "The Ministry of Magic is looking for someone to take your original copy. Cut off a part, and the Galleons sold are still yours, well, the main reason is that the Ministry of Magic gives everyone a discount coupon, and you can get half of the subsidy, and almost all families are willing to spend 1 Galleon to buy a copy."

"Very clever approach, isn't it?" Albert said softly: "Even if the Ministry of Magic subsidizes it, it's only a thousand Galleons, and Scrimgeour can get a large number of supporters because of this, and he can follow me. If you have a good relationship, why not do it?"

"Shouldn't this be your idea?" Katrina looked at Albert suspiciously. No wonder she thought that, because Scrimgeour did enact a lot of policies in Albert's favor.

"Why do you say that?" Albert asked rhetorically.

"The Ministry of Magic has also built a Defence Against the Dark Arts item store, which is said to be so that everyone can buy qualified Defence Against the Dark Arts items." Katrina pointed to a newspaper on the table and said, "Of course, some people think that this is a The Weasleys' plot to monopolize Defence Against the Dark Arts items."

"It seems that there are a lot of jealous people!" Albert was not too surprised, because it was too profitable.

"I think it's normal for some people to think that way. Who made the store right next door and sells all the products of your store?" Katrina dared to pat her chest and assured that this matter was definitely related to Albert. What do you think? It's like Albert finding a bodyguard for his shop.

"It's actually very clever."

Albert started to read the newspaper about the Defence Against the Dark Arts item store.

"It's really smart." Katrina nodded and analyzed, "Scrimgeour does get a lot of people in that way."

"To win over Arthur Weasley and his Order of the Phoenix, to win over Harry Potter, and to win over a genius like you, and to solve the problem of inferior defense against the dark arts items flooding the market, so that everyone can buy To a safe and reliable Defense Against the Dark Arts item, which can also be brought under the supervision of the Ministry of Magic, it can save a lot of money for the Ministry of Magic...and solve the security problem of Diagon Alley by the way."

"And the Ministry of Magic needs to do just a few employees, so that everyone can see Scrimgeour's determination to fight dark wizards and protect everyone's lives."

"By the way, not long ago, Harry Potter also publicly supported Scrimgeour's fight against dark wizards." Katrina sighed softly, "It seems that our new minister is very powerful and full of vigor. Not long ago Every day you see a dark wizard sentenced to death again."

"Well, it's really amazing." Albert also sighed with emotion. "If it were someone else, I would still have a headache. How should I wipe Fudge's butt!"

"Next, are you going to... Hide here all the time?" Katrina never thought that Albert was a quiet guy.

"Is there a problem?" Albert asked rhetorically.

"I thought you were going to fight You-Know-Who through the Ministry of Magic."

"It's not my job to fight the You-Know-Who." Albert put down the newspaper and said calmly, "Scrimgeour won't tolerate an outsider pointing fingers, so why make himself uncomfortable?"

This was a disguised admission of his relationship with Scrimgeour.

To put it bluntly, the two just use each other to get what they need.

Although Scrimgeour had changed a lot under Albert's influence, he didn't have much time left.

After Dumbledore died, UU reading www.uukanshu. com Scrimgeour is not far from his death.

This is undoubtedly a very cruel reality.

Of course, Albert had a way to save Scrimgeour, but he didn't think the other party would be willing to do that.

"If you want to say something, just say it directly!" Albert said, looking at Katrina who was hesitant to speak.

"Nothing." Katrina shook her head.

"By the way, I'm going to go out, you can tell Isobel later." Before leaving the living room, Albert suddenly turned to Katrina and instructed.

"You really can't be idle?" Katrina frowned and said, "You just got back and are going out?"

"Well, there is something to deal with, and I will be back soon." Albert began to prepare for his trip.

When Albert came to the entrance under Katrina's gaze, a familiar voice suddenly sounded in his ears.

"Honey, where are you going?" Isobel looked at Albert, who was about to leave, dissatisfied.

"I have to pay attention to the shop over Diagon Alley. Fred, George and Lee Jordan have probably scolded me countless times in their hearts." Albert turned and walked to Isobel's side, Kissed her cheek.

Looking at the reopened wooden door, Katrina looked sideways at her sister, "If you don't want him to run around, you should tell him directly."

"How does it feel to be at home?" Isobel looked back at his sister and asked back.

"It's not good, it's boring, and..." Katrina was interrupted by Isobel before she could finish her words.

"We haven't chatted together for a long time, go to your room!" Isobel suddenly suggested.

"Chat? Oh, okay!" Katrina looked a little complicated, and finally walked helplessly to her room.
