Chapter 1609: A War Without a Winner (Sixty-One)

Chapter 1611: A War Without Winners (Sixty-one)

That day, after a shy and in-depth exchange, the door to a new world quietly opened in front of Hermione.

She stayed in the manor until nightfall, not only enjoying an extremely sumptuous dinner with everyone, but also sitting down to chat about many topics that made people blush, and then returned to the Burrow with a few books prepared by Albert.

Hermione wanted more and more happiness!

But reason told her that it was impossible for her to take Albert for herself.

She must be content with what she has.

She has been accepted by the Anderson family, so she doesn't need to hide anymore and should know how to be content.

What's more, Albert will belong to her during his tenure at Hogwarts, and there is no need to share him with others.

As for the issue of children, Hermione has never considered it, and it is not appropriate.

"Are you okay?"

Ginny turned her head to look at her friend who was distracted again, and asked worriedly: "Are you worried? You have been absent-minded these days."

"Oh, it's nothing. I have been suffering from insomnia these days." Hermione quickly concealed the abnormality on her face, and immediately found an excuse to avoid Ginny from noticing anything.

"Mix some dreamless sleeping potion." Ginny suggested.

"I have already prepared it. Just have a good sleep tonight."

"By the way, have you read the book I gave you last time? Have you thought about how to decorate your house next?"

Hermione found a new topic again, interrupting Ginny's train of thought to avoid the other party focusing on herself.

"I saw it, the decorations are very beautiful, but..." Ginny hesitated for a moment, and then said, "I discussed this with Harry last night, but I'm afraid we can't afford to renovate the house, and it's too late, so we plan to..."

"Plan to move in after a hasty renovation?"

Hermione widened her eyes and looked at Ginny with disbelief, as if to say to her, that's your home, how can you be so careless?

The new home that Albert prepared for everyone is not comparable to the versions of wizards' homes that are several generations behind, and it is even more beautiful than most Muggle villas. If Harry and Ginny turn it back to a medieval house, Albert will probably be so angry that he will vomit blood after seeing it.

"Your wedding house will definitely be completed earlier than expected, and you will definitely have enough time to decorate your new home." Hermione advised kindly, "That is the home you will live in for the rest of your life. Unless you plan to move, it is best to spend more time on it."

Ginny opened her mouth. She did not deny that Hermione said this for her own good, but they really couldn't prepare everything before getting married, and if they really wanted to make the house like a castle in a fairy tale, how much money would it cost!

Although Auror is a high-paying profession and Harry did inherit a large inheritance, he could not afford such a disaster.

"But... I feel that there is far from enough time. Harry works overtime every day, and most things fall on me." Ginny really didn't have a good solution. If it were usual, she wouldn't have to worry about this matter at all.

There are not many people who can help her now, and it's good enough to barely get the house done.

"Don't worry, since Albert plans to use your house as a template, he will definitely help you." Hermione comforted softly, "Mr. Croix will be responsible for the decoration, and all you have to do is communicate with him. As for the furniture, you can consider making it together, since they will need to make it themselves in the future anyway."

"Make it yourself?" Ginny was stunned.

"After all, not everyone is as rich as Albert, and if you make your own things, don't you think it will feel more like home?" Hermione winked at Ginny and said, "So, you didn't read the books I gave you carefully at all."

"There is a book about furniture in it. Albert has actually considered the solution for everyone a long time ago. It doesn't cost much to buy materials."

"Mr. Anderson always thinks of a solution in advance."

Ginny moved her eyes away from the villa that had already taken shape, and turned her head to Hermione and said, "In fact, as long as you don't force those things, getting married won't be that difficult, and there won't be these troubles now."

"You just have too little time, and many things are squeezed together to have such an idea." Hermione comforted, "If you feel too busy, you can spend some money. I remember that there are people in Diagon Alley who help to customize furniture."

The only problem is that customized furniture is really hard to describe, so it's better to spend some time making it yourself.

At least, Hermione saw a lot of beautiful styles in the book given by Albert.

In terms of taste, Albert is indeed much better than everyone else, no matter in which aspect.

The clothes that Isobel gave her to change a few days ago were also very beautiful, tasteful, and suitable for men, although they were a bit weird.

When the two returned to the rest tent, they saw Cedric and Qiu Zhang staring at the photo album together and whispering.

"You are finally back."

After hearing the footsteps entering the tent, Qiu Zhang looked up and said to Ginny, "Cedric brought back a lot of wood boards, which seem to be used for furniture. Please help him register them in the warehouse first."

Ginny and Hermione looked at each other.

"Are all Muggle homes like this?" Qiu Zhang flipped through the photo album in his hand and asked Hermione: "I think this one is very beautiful."

"The templates that Albert chose for us are all pretty." Hermione stretched her head to look at the photo that Qiu Zhang pointed to, which looked like the interior decoration of the castle. "He has a high aesthetic taste. The only problem is that it is not easy to make it like that."

"You can take your time. By the way, Ginny, which one do you like?"

"Ah, this one... It's better to be ordinary. We are a little rushed." Ginny looked at the photos in the album a little confused and picked a minimalist style from it.

"Qiu, I have something to do over there, so I'll leave first."

Cedric kissed Qiu's cheek before leaving, and then Apparated not far away from the tent.

"When do you and Cedric plan to get married?" Ginny suddenly asked.

"We are not in a hurry." Qiu Zhang subconsciously stroked the ring on his hand, "No matter what, we have to wait until Avalon is completely completed before making a decision."

"Then you'd better pay attention." Ginny said very tactfully.

"I was always very careful when I did it with Cedric." Qiu Zhang obviously understood, and in order to ease Hermione's embarrassment, he changed the subject and asked, "What about you, do you have someone you like?"

"I plan to go back to school to repeat a year and make up for the missing seventh grade. After getting the certificate, I will try to apply for a job in the Ministry of Magic." Hermione did not answer Qiu's question, but talked about her next plan.

"Aren't you going to stay and help? To be honest, the Ministry of Magic is not friendly to wizards from Muggle families." Qiu Zhang was a little surprised by Hermione's choice. Albert left a lot of good jobs for the residents of Avalon. Although there is no shadow yet, everyone knows that Albert will never do anything without a purpose.

"I still want to try."
