Chapter 2551 Smoke and Mirror (17)

Since being kicked out of the school board, Lucius Malfoy has been unwilling to be "out" like this, and it is expected that he will appear in the school again as an official of the Ministry of Magic.

Although both Pomona and Felius were ready to "fight", Albus sent them, along with Snape, to Harry Potter to release the Patronus, which not only drove away the dementors, but also protected Harry Potter. to his godfather's lake in the Forbidden Forest.

When the centaur passed by last time, they noticed the abnormality there. They are not like human beings. Because of the insulation of the clothes, they can’t feel the change of temperature sensitively. It’s obviously midsummer, and the temperature there is still very low, even if the lake is not haunted by dementors that night. Same as icing.

Anyway, the three of them had an excuse to leave the castle, leaving Albus and Minerva to "go head to head" with Lucius Malfoy.

The twisted tree roots in the forest are very unfriendly to Fei Liwei. Where they can cross with one foot, Fei Liwei has to use some "tricks". Fortunately, the lake is not far away, and they arrived there in a short walk .

It is not so much a lake, but a larger pond. It looks very peaceful during the day, the lake is shallow and clear, and you can see the stones at the bottom of the lake.

Muggle eyes cannot see dementors, but they leave very faint shadows, like transparent black, and Muggles will make a fuss when they see that shadow but not the "entity". This is how many "ghost" incidents come about, but not all "ghosts" are related to dementors. According to regulations, they cannot go to Muggle communities. On the contrary, it is difficult to restrict boggarts because they are hiding everywhere. Second to the mischievous elf's "haunting" event culprit.

Pomona's heart was pounding, partly from what she'd seen through the binoculars when hordes of dementors were attacking Harry and Sirius. Harry couldn't see it himself, but they, the onlookers, saw it. There were at least a hundred Dementors at that time, and they hovered over the two of them, almost completely covering them like a dark cloud.

Later, when Harry used the guardian spirit, the first light was not eye-catching, and the second light was too dazzling, so no one could see who released the Patronus.

"Can you feel it?" Severus asked.

She almost jumped up and hid three feet away from him.

This was the second reason why her heart beat faster. If Fei Liwei was ignored, it would be that the two of them were alone.

"Feel what?" she almost screamed.

He looked at her strangely.

"The aftertaste of magic," Severus said, "there's a 'resonance' happening here."

"For a child about to be 14 years old, Mr. Potter's Patronus is very powerful, unusually powerful." Feliway said, "almost catching up with Albus's Phoenix Patronus."

Pomona calmed down a little.

"Maybe that's why he's the 'chosen one,'" Pomona said half-jokingly.

No one laughed, Fei Liwei walked to the lake, pointed at the water surface with his magic wand, and a miraculous scene happened, he actually picked up the silver thread from the mirror-like lake surface, or put it like a memory in a Pensieve Bright silvery substance.

"Do you know what this is?" Fei Liwei said, as if asking a question in class.

"Mr. Potter's memory," Severus replied. "The happy memory used when invoking the Guardian."

"Why didn't it go away?" Pomona asked.

"This is exactly what we need to figure out." Feliwei put down his wand and looked around. "I'll go ahead and have a look."

Before Pomona had time to say wait, Fei Liwei left on his own, and quickly disappeared on the other side of the lake.

Logically, at this time, she should think about the principles of magic and analyze the cause and effect.

But her heart was beating violently, and it was completely uncontrollable, even more violent than before at the entrance to the secret room. The difference was that she didn't feel the heat here, so she didn't have to worry about the Polyjuice Potion failing.

As she thought so, she looked down at the lake, which reflected her like a mirror.

If you're after food bliss, cook like Pomona with a lot of butter, love is almost out of your reach, because most men like "average-sized" women, even if they don't look like Victoria's Secret models That way, at least well-proportioned, people as fat as Sprout or as tall as Madame Maxime are not in their consideration.

Maybe they'll buy tickets for the freak show out of surprise, but roses are out of the question.

Lily is that kind of "average body" woman, and she also has a pair of charming lake green eyes and a beautiful face, unlike the mysterious man's mother Merope, although she also has an "average body", but she has a long face With an unappetizing face, two eyes even staring in opposite directions, the Muggle father of the mysterious man could not accept their mother and son no matter what.

Rich Muggles often have one or two illegitimate children. As long as they can get rid of the humble house and poor life of the Gaunt family, not everyone has the backbone to marry. Their mother and son will do.

Simon Finnigan's mother didn't tell his Muggle father that she was a witch until after she got married, and he wasn't as unacceptable as seeing a monster, so being a witch is sometimes not the "biggest" problem.

It may be because of this that Pomona fantasizes that she is a mixed-race Veela, and she also hallucinates when she looks in the mirror, so that she cannot accept the "real" self reflected in the lake water-a short and fat Ugly woman, Rohart even used her to set off how good-looking she is and how charming her smile is.

"Pomona?" Snape called suddenly.

She almost woke up from a nightmare.

"Are you okay?" he asked concerned.

She looked at him dressed so well that he looked like a professor, and then she looked at herself in her muddy witch robe. If she was only a teenager, she might hide her face and run away crying.

Then she thought of Albus Dumbledore, and the education he had given her over the years. She let go of the emotions and thoughts that hindered rational thinking, and her brain began to function normally.

"Tell me, what's a Patronus?" Pomona asked Severus, the way a teacher would to a student. "Who else among your fellow Death Eaters calls a Patronus?"

"Many people," said Snape, "make happy memories in more than one way."

"You lied," Pomona said.

"Why should I lie?" He said arrogantly, and walked two steps along the lake. "What do you think is the difference between flying on a broom and hunting?"

"What?"

"There is no difference, they are both sports. Don't forget that before the Snitch came out, Quidditch caught the Golden Snidget." He circled her as if he was questioning her, "Guardian needs happy memories, as long as they are happy memories , why must it be what you said?"

He babbled so much that she almost believed it.

"You're not right!" she retorted.

"Don't be so childish, Pomona, grown-ups have different joys than children," he said with extreme determination. "Many people's Patronuses change when they grow up."

"Mine haven't changed!" she exclaimed, raising her wand.

"Don't do that!" snapped Snape. "You'll spoil the scene."

"And you? Your Patronus has changed?" Pomona asked, putting down her wand.

"The patron saint doesn't represent anything, it's just a form of transformable magic." He looked at the other side of the lake and said, Felix was already standing where Harry Potter stood before.

This scene had a strange magic power. If there was no light from the calling guards at that time, Harry in the past and Harry in the future would be face to face. James, who looks very similar to himself, just like Sirius would confuse Harry with James when he was studying.

The time switcher can only go back to the past, but cannot go to the "future". It is impossible for James to save his son.

"Has Mr. Potter mentioned to you what kind of patron saint he used for memory summoning?" Pomona asked the two.

"Did he not mention it to the principal?" Fei Liwei asked.

"I didn't ask," Pomona said.

"Me neither." Snape said coldly, as if angry.

Why is he angry? It's really inexplicable.

==================================================== =======

Lawyers in the UK are mainly divided into two types: barristers and solicitors. Barristers go to court and debate with opposing lawyers in court, influencing the testimony of judges and juries, and defending clients.

Solicitors are engaged in non-litigation services that do not appear in court, mainly handling civil and commercial legal documents for clients. Trevithick refused to pay the patent fee to Soho Company. Even if the "tax collector" who was dumped at the mouth of the mine at that time did not sue them, the judicial risk would not be avoided.

Small companies like theirs can't even be called companies, and they can't hire serious office-based solicitors. Or to put it this way, Mr. Jim Follett, a solicitor, was involved in a murder case in the UK. He fled to Belgium. Although it is not known whether his lawyer's license has been revoked, his skills are still there, so he was hired by Trevy Thicke hired.

What he killed was the only son of an earl. At that time, the only son of the earl brought a large group of people to the hotel where he was staying. Unfortunately, at that time, the wife of the future earl was lying beside Follett, and the young woman's father was the lawyer's wife. employer.

He and the future countess had known each other since childhood, but his employer insisted on marrying her to the count's ignorant heir. This kind of marriage is very common in this era. Nobles who have a glorious family history but do not have enough wealth to support the noble life will marry the new bourgeoisie. The parents get what they need, and no one cares about the son they treat as a trading object and what the daughter thinks.

The future countess had a very unfortunate life. Her ignorant husband played more crazy than before after he got money, and often didn't go home. And Jim, who is a solicitor, often goes to her house, so their "sincere affection" cannot be suppressed, and then...

The earl's son came to the door with a sword. Although Jim was a lawyer, he also had a sword. The enraged earl wanted to stab Jim to death. Jim drew his sword to fight back when he and his lover's lives were threatened. In the confusion, he stabbed the earl's son. , the earl's son fell to the ground, bleeding profusely.

Then Jim ran off and got into Belgium in any boat on the Thames.

He was in a hurry, he had nothing on him, and it happened that Trishwick needed a lawyer, so they got together.

Then Jim followed Trishwick to Brussels, and then he knelt on one knee in front of Georgiana and told a "touching" story in a moving tone.

Jim and the countess are sincerely in love, but because his status does not meet her father's requirements, he breaks up the couple who grew up together and forces her to marry someone she doesn't love.

If Georgiana had been twenty years younger, she would have believed him.

Even a solicitor is a lawyer, who would believe a lawyer?

Such a scandal would have been "talked about" when it came to light, but at present people are more keen to discuss Mr. William Coke's two wives and their ghosts, psychics and Methodist archbishops.

So she couldn't help worrying about Padma, can she handle this situation?
