The Alchemist of Harry Potter

Most people who travel to France will go to the Arc de Triomphe and the Seine River; if they have the opportunity, they will definitely want to taste the famous French food: foie gras and French onion soup...

so?

Will Herb take his family to see a French opera?

Albert couldn't understand Herb's thoughts, maybe the budget was sufficient, maybe the opportunity was rare, and it wasn't anything important anyway.

Before returning to the UK, the Andersons hitch a ride to the Opéra Bastille, ready to cap their trip to France by watching an opera scheduled not long ago.

In other words, this opera is actually still known as "Romeo and Juliet" by Albert.

Albert had seen the movie "Romeo and Juliet" in his last life.

As for opera?

Anyway, I have never seen an opera in my last life.

With Albert's "help", Herb successfully got the previously reserved tickets.

After passing the ticket gate at the Opera Bastille, several people entered the auditorium along the aisle.

The opera house usually closes in advance, and the Andersons belong to the last group of audiences, most of whom are already seated.

The four walked along the corridor in the middle of the seats and quickly found their seats through the number on the ticket.

In that row, there were still five empty seats. Except for the Anderson family, there seemed to be one other person who did not arrive in time.

Albert's right side is an elderly couple with white hair. Probably aware of Albert's sight, the old man turned his head and smiled at him. Albert also smiled politely and returned his attention. Put it on the performance brochure issued by the opera house.

However, the performance brochures were all in French, and only Albert could understand them. He whispered the contents and shared them with his family, discussing the opera by the way.

Herb and Daisy once watched "Romeo and Juliet" together, but only in an English opera house, and this time in France, the opera's adaptation and style may be slightly different.

The opera Romeo and Juliet is divided into five acts and six scenes. Albert didn't tell the content, it's a very unfriendly thing for Nia who hasn't watched the drama,

It's better to keep expectations.

While the Andersons were whispering about the opera,

The spectator in the vacant seat next to him also rushed over. It was a middle-aged man in his fifties. The suit gave Albert an inexplicable sense of disobedience.

The middle-aged man seemed to know the old couple, and as soon as he whispered a few words, the theater bell rang, which heralded the beginning of the opera.

The entire theater fell silent in an instant, the dimly lit lights were extinguished, and the surroundings were completely plunged into darkness, only there was light on the stage.

"It's very atmospheric."

Albert didn't speak either, focusing all his attention on the stage.

To be honest, Albert, who didn't know anything about opera, after watching the first act "Capulet's House", his understanding of the opera changed to singing and music to explain and express the plot, but he had to It is said that this opera is still somewhat charming, and I can understand what is being expressed on the stage, which is much better than the concert of the famous Sedina Warbeck in the magic world.

The first act of "Romeo and Juliet" is about Romeo and Juliet meeting and falling in love, but they find out that they are enemies. The period is full of the light, elegant and romantic style unique to France.

Albert glanced at his family in his spare time. Daisy and Herb had entered a state of appreciation, while Nia couldn't understand the opera very well, and was reaching out to cover a yawn.

Maybe it's boring!

This is actually not surprising, if he was just a child, this would certainly be the case.

In other words, the middle-aged uncle next to Nia actually entered a state of trance. Obviously, he was not interested in operas, but he had to watch operas with his family.

"Their voices are really good!"

This was Nia's sigh after the curtain fell, which made Albert beside him laugh a little, but he still managed to hold back his laughter, and just replied softly: "Yes!"

Both Romeo and Juliet belong to the high-pitched type. As Nia said, their voices are really powerful, and they can actually produce such high-pitched voices.

The second act didn't make the audience wait too long, and it was staged very quickly. It was located in the garden outside Juliet's bedroom. Romeo and Juliet actually secretly agreed for life.

Looking at the French on the performance brochure, Albert explained the general story of the previous scene to Nia in the spare time after the performance and the curtain was lowered.

"I dare say, the two of them must not be together in the end." Nia said after listening.

"It must be a tragedy for enemies and the like, how could they be together in the end."

The third act begins with Nia's muttering...

As for the result of "Romeo and Juliet", naturally, as Nia said, it ended in tragedy.

Romeo was sentenced to be deported for killing Juliet's cousin. The two sides were going to pretend to be dead for life, but the priest's messenger was delayed in the middle, which led to the failure to deliver the message to Romeo in time, which directly led to Romeo in the fifth act. Under the tone of lyrical sadness, she committed suicide by taking poison. When Juliet woke up and found that her lover was dead, she drew her sword and committed suicide.

The curtain was slowly lowered, and enthusiastic applause broke out in the opera house.

"How is it, the opera is not bad?" Herb asked with a smile.

"Not bad." Albert thought for a while and then said, "But I still think the movie suits me better."

"Where's Nia?" Daisy asked.

"Here, I've been holding her hand." Albert's eyes fell on the empty seat in front of him. The middle-aged man actually left halfway?

When did you not notice it?

"Nia, what are you doing?" Daisy frowned and reminded, "you're leaving, grab Albert's hand and don't go away."

"Keep up." Herb said again, "Don't push, don't be in a hurry, follow the crowd slowly."

"I know this, go Nia." Albert replied.

After leaving the Bastille Opera House, Nia suddenly asked, "Albert, if the messenger could feel it in time, would Romeo and Juliet be together?"

"No!" Albert said calmly.

"Why?" Nia tilted her head and asked.

"Because the messenger will always be late, even if not late, Shakespeare will make the messenger late." Albert said lightly.

"Ahem! Albert is saying that Romeo and Juliet are just characters in a play, so their fate has long been doomed." Herb was choked by Albert's words and quickly explained.

"What if it's in reality?" Nia asked again.

"They will definitely be together." Daisy preemptively comforted her. She glared at her son and her husband in dissatisfaction, telling them to shut up and not spoil the romantic atmosphere here. The girls naturally hope that Romeo and Juliet can together, not buried together after death.

"Nia, what were you picking up just now?" Albert changed the subject.

"Oh, by the way, I was just picking up this thing." Nia handed a golden card in her hand to Herb, "It should be lost by some audience member."

"What is this?" Herb was stunned after reading it. Because this is not a gold card in name, but a real gold card, a gold card made of gold.

"Gold?" Albert frowned slightly as he stared at the gold card.

In fact, they all felt quite speechless. The gold card meant that they didn't expect that someone would actually use gold to make a gold card. It would be a pain in the ass.

The world of local tyrants is really incomprehensible?

"You wait here for a while, I'll go and hand it over to the staff of the Bastille Opera." After Herb finished speaking, he was going to return to the Bastille Opera with the gold card and hand it over to the staff there.

"Let me read it, I always feel that the text above is a little familiar."

Herb found that he could not read the words on the gold card. However, I can understand the image, it seems to be a pot and a stick.

When Albert just took over the golden card, he was unexpectedly abrupt, and the hand holding the golden card suddenly deflected in a certain direction, as if there was a powerful force ready to take the golden card away.

"How is this going?"

Albert reacted immediately, grabbed the golden card almost instinctively when it was about to slip out of his fingertips, and focused his attention on the golden card. The protective bracelet on his wrist counteracted the effect of the Flying Spell.

"What happened just now?" Herb was shocked, and he also saw the picture of the golden card almost flying away by himself.

"A wizard is using a spell to summon it." Albert explained casually, "However, that bastard will really cause trouble for me."

"What's wrong?" Daisy asked.

"I don't know if the other party will be detained on my head for using the Flying Spell." Albert muttered, he hated that he would somehow become a scapegoat one day.

That's why I decided to deduct this gold card. As for the iron armor spell on the protective bracelet?

The magic on the magic item will not be monitored by the Ministry of Magic, just like using a broom, so Albert is not worried at all in this regard.

"You mean..." Nia whispered, "The person who was next to us was a wizard?"

"Stop discussing these things here." Albert warned in a low voice.

"Return this gold card, or hand it over to the people at the Bastille Opera?" Daisy suggested, she didn't want an unknown wizard to suddenly come to ask for the gold card.

"Don't worry, nothing will happen." Albert glanced at the rune words on it: Extraordinary Apothecary Association.

If not harassed by owls from the Ministry of Magic, Albert will return the Gold Membership Card to its original owner by other means.

If it is really inexplicable to take the blame, wait for the other party to help resolve the misunderstanding before returning it to the other party.

Then again, are these pharmacists all rich? It is so extravagant to use gold as a membership card.

Moreover, this membership gold card is still a magic item?
