Chapter 1593 A War Without Winners (Forty-three)

"What happened to them?"

After seeing Harry and Ron being helped out of the suitcase by Albert and Hermione, Mrs. Weasley quickly put down her work and came over to help support Harry's arm.

"Symptoms of Apparition."

Albert explained to Mrs. Weasley, who was worried, "We Apparated directly to Australia. Harry and Ron wanted to experience the feeling of Apparition over a long distance, but they couldn't adapt to it and developed symptoms similar to Portkey sickness. They will be fine after a good rest."

Mrs. Weasley had never heard of Apparition sickness, but she knew about Portkey sickness, so she probably understood what Albert meant.

"Don't worry, I encountered a similar situation last time. Just have a good sleep."

Hermione handed the potion in her hand to Mrs. Weasley: "This is a potion to relieve the symptoms of dizziness and Apparition. If they still feel uncomfortable, let them drink more."

Mrs. Weasley was stunned for a moment, took the potion and put it in her apron pocket, and asked the two to help Harry and Ron back to their respective rooms to rest, and arranged Hermione in Percy's original room.

After learning that Hermione's family stayed in Australia, Mrs. Weasley still welcomed Hermione to live in her house temporarily.

After all, before the wizard village was built, Ginny could have a companion, and there were friends who could help take care of her.

"Let's go, I'll take you to recognize the location of the wizard village first, and arrange your next work by the way."

After saying goodbye to Mrs. Weasley at the door, Albert and Hermione Apparated and left together.

"I miss you!"

As soon as she finished Apparition, Hermione reached out to hug Albert's neck and gave him a kiss, seemingly not worried about being discovered by others.

Albert seemed to have expected this and did not Apparate directly to the wizard village, but took Hermione to a strange and deserted cliff by the sea.

After the two separated, Albert reluctantly reminded, "You should pay attention to the surrounding environment. If you are seen by other acquaintances, you may have to experience the power of rumors again."

"I believe you miss me too." Hermione winked at Albert and said, "I also believe you will find a place where no one is."

"I hope you should be more cautious." Albert still felt that Hermione should not take risks with her future.

"Are you afraid that Isobel will know about our relationship?" Hermione pouted, seeming a little jealous.

"She already knows." Albert looked at Hermione's stunned expression and confessed directly, "I told her. Even if I didn't tell her, this matter couldn't be concealed for long. Isobel is very smart and perceptive."

Hermione opened her mouth and looked at Albert in disbelief. She didn't expect to get such an answer from him.

"Is she angry?" Hermione couldn't help asking.

"She's not angry. She just asked me to take you home for dinner when I'm free." Albert told the truth. He doubted that Isobel was going to teach Hermione a lesson.

"Her generosity makes me look like a clown."

Hermione, who had recovered from the shock, had a sour tone. She didn't expect this result at all.

Once upon a time, Hermione had thought about how angry Isobel would be after knowing this, but from now on, Albert's wife calmly accepted that her husband had a lover.

This matter is weird everywhere!

But where is weird, Hermione couldn't tell for a while.

"Isobel doesn't seem to worry that I'll take you away, unless..." Hermione seemed to think of something and looked at Albert in shock.

"You actually have more than one lover?"

Apart from this reason, she really couldn't think of why Isobel was so calm. If Albert had other lovers before her, her reaction would not be surprising.

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

"Women's intuition!"

Hermione's expression was particularly complicated, but she didn't say anything else. She just hugged Albert tighter, fearing that the other party would slip away from her hands when she wasn't paying attention.

"You are my first lover." Albert reached out and patted Hermione's back, and whispered to comfort her.

In his opinion, Catherine was at most a partner who had a one-night stand.

"First lover?"

Hermione thought to herself that as expected, Albert had other lovers.

"But who could it be?"

In her limited memory, Albert has always been a devoted person. Ever since he announced his relationship with Isobel, he has kept his distance from girls and seems to have no close female friends.

That Sana?

Or wait, Hermione suddenly thought of someone, the only one who could make Isobel give in, that is her sister: Katrina McDougal.

Katrina and Albert were in the same class, so it didn't seem strange that she liked Albert.

In fact, many girls in the school liked Albert, but only Katrina could make Albert's wife give in.

After all, she was her sister. It was just too crazy.

"Katrina?" Hermione asked tentatively.

Albert acquiesced.

"You have the most beautiful sisters in Ravenclaw." Hermione's expression became more complicated.

"You forgot about Qiu Zhang." Albert reminded.

"You won't abandon me!" Hermione's tone was a bit sad. She found that Isobel was not generous, but did not take her seriously at all, so she allowed her humble love.

After all, a woman's appearance cannot be maintained for too long, and as long as a lover gets old, it is easy to be ruthlessly abandoned.

"Don't think too much, you should know my character very well." Albert took the initiative to kiss Hermione's lips and pulled her into the suitcase.

After venting the passion of reunion after a long absence and calming her emotions, Albert asked about the girl who was tired and lying in his arms during the tenderness.

"Do you have any plans for me?"

Hermione drew circles on Albert's firm chest with her index finger.

"It depends on what you want." Albert stroked Hermione's smooth back and whispered, "First of all, you have to have a place to live. Your previous home should still be there!"

"It should still be there, but no one has lived there for a long time. It will take some time to clean it up again. What do you think?"

Hermione wanted to live in her own home, so that she would have a private space to be intimate with Albert, but she still wanted to listen to Albert's advice.

"I think you should live in the Weasley family for the time being."

Albert obviously had his own plans and explained to the reluctant Hermione, "Our affairs cannot be exposed, otherwise your future will be ruined. Do you want to leave here and live alone in a place where no one knows you, and completely become a lover who depends on me?"

Hermione shook her head. Although she liked Albert very much, she did not intend to let herself fall completely.

"So, you must know how to disguise yourself, at least on the surface, you must keep a certain distance from me. This is to protect you, you should pay attention to this." Albert reminded again.

"I will pay attention, I just want to get more love from you!" Hermione was a little self-pitying, there was nothing she could do about it, who made her feel a lot of pressure, after all, she was just a lover, just wanted to get a little more love from Albert.

Of course, she was very smart and knew what she should pay attention to.

"Next, I will arrange for you to work in the village and get a house of your own. Don't miss such benefits."

"What is my next job?"

"It's related to the Muggle world. I'll tell you when I go there." Albert planned to connect electricity to the village, and needed someone who knew the Muggle world well to help complete this task.

"And your relationship with Ron." Albert paused, and suddenly said, "He seems to like you."

"Are you jealous?" Hermione asked with a blink of an eye.

"No, I just think you should handle your relationship well." Albert reminded: "It's best not to give Ron hope, otherwise once he gets entangled with you, you will probably have a lot of trouble in the future."

"I will pay attention to this." Hermione also realized this, with a very complicated expression. She certainly knew Ron's feelings for her, but she already had someone she liked, so they probably wouldn't have a result.

But how to reject Ron?

She needed to think of a good reason to reject him, and not let him find any flaws.

Sometimes men are as sharp as women in some aspects.

And her underground love affair with Albert obviously couldn't be exposed, unless Hermione planned to leave her current social circle and find a place where no one knew her to start over.
