Chapter 2577 Cheese Trap (13)
"Ah~~~~~~~~~"
After a scream, Neville fell to the soft grass.
Pomona, seeing his horrific landing, thought that she would fear for his life even if she had the Portkey, but she soon found that her worries were useless.
Neville stood up staggeringly, then fell to the ground in a daze.
She couldn't help shaking her head, and helped Neville, who was dizzy with the key, to his feet, and walked towards Scamander's house.
At this time, the house was no longer visible, but it was not the Fidelity Curse that guarded the house. When it is clear that there is a house in this place, stride forward, and you can see a different view through the protective magic. Everything in Scamander's house is as usual.
She went to the door and knocked, and the door was opened not long after, but it was not Tina who opened the door.
"What's wrong with him?" Newt asked, staring at Neville.
"Falled out, can we come in?" Pomona asked.
Newt let the two of them inside, and Pomona settled Neville on a chair in the living room.
"What's wrong with him?" asked Tina, who was making breakfast, holding a teapot.
"Falled out." Newt said, "What are you doing here today?"
"I'll tell you when he's sober," Pomona said to Newt. "It's his summer homework."
Newt shrugged and looked at Tina. "I'm going downstairs."
"Oh, by the way, one more thing," said Pomona. "Albus told me your brother has a nice tie. Do you know what that means?"
Newt, who was about to go downstairs, stopped.
"I've made tea, would you like some?" Tina said.
"No, I..."
But before Pomona could finish speaking, Tina dragged her out of the living room.
"Forget about his brother," Tina said to Pomona, out of Newt's sight.
"They have a bad relationship?" Pomona asked.
"No." Tina flatly denied.
"Then why not mention him?" Pomona asked.
"What are you asking about that tie for?" Tina asked.
"I don't even know what that tie is," Pomona said excitedly.
Tina looked at Pomona for a while, and then said, "That's a portkey, you can go back to Hogwarts with it."
Pomona was about to say that it was a good thing, that Neville could take it back to Hogwarts, but he was dizzy with the door key...
"This is a gift from Dumbledore to Theseus, before they take the Great Magic Express to Berlin." Tina said again.
Pomona remembered that in addition to the Hogwarts Express, King's Cross Station also had such an international train, which was said to be very luxurious.
Gifts given to others are of course not taken back and passed on to others, so what is Albus Tis doing with that tie?
"When they were in Berlin, Theseus was the head of the Auror office. He was imprisoned in Erborg, and there was a manticore inside. Anyway, the two of them were able to come back alive because of that tie." Tina explained.
"Scamander's brother is an Auror?" Pomona marveled. "And he's the director of the Auror office?"
"You don't know?" Tina asked.
"No!" Pomona shook his head. "I only know that Scamander is Hufflepuff's celebrity because he wrote Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them."
Tina sighed and softened her voice, "What are you doing here today?"
Pomona wanted to say come get the jays and turtles, but that was Neville's "homework" and she was just coming to make sure he was safe.
"I think .
"Come here," Tina said. "I've made some tea. I'll have a cup before I go."
So Pomona followed Tina into the kitchen.
==================================================== =======
"Sit down, please." Art von Lesterwitz pulled out a chair for Georgiana.
But she wasn't about to sit down.
"I don't like being threatened." She said indifferently, "Do you think I will help you if you do this?"
"If your stuff is not that important, there is no need to come here." Art said, "Please."
Georgiana touched the fire opal ring with her thumb and sat down on the chair Altra had opened.
The cushion of the armchair is stuffed with so much softness that it feels real no matter what.
Art sat down on her right.
"Please tell me what to do." Alter begged earnestly, "We will agree to whatever conditions you ask."
"Ceded Silesia, are you willing?" Georgiana sneered.
But just before Alter believed it, she said, "We all know that the real problem is not Hamburg. Now that the world is at peace, the reason for the establishment of the Armed Neutrality League is gone. Why are you still recruiting new members?"
"I can't answer your question, my task is to convey your words to important people." Alter said.
"Who? The Foreign Minister of Prussia?"
"I still have no comment," Art said.
"You can't answer my question, but you ask me for an answer. You can agree to any conditions?"
"Any conditions, as long as you don't continue to ask questions." Alter said patiently.
Georgiana didn't want to talk to him anymore, looking out of the window, the snowflakes were still dancing.
In fact, snow is frozen water, and glass is also a reflective surface no matter how transparent it is. The problem is how to penetrate into the "mirror world".
At first they both thought that Phoebe was trapped behind a see-through wall, the Muggle museum paintings had glass to protect them.
Through the glass, no matter how close the visitor is to the oil painting, they cannot touch it.
Credence and Albus met in the Muggle community after leaving the German Ministry of Magic, where there was no magic mirror.
At that time, Berlin had become the capital of Germany, and now Berlin still belongs to Prussia...
"The reason why we established the Armed Neutral League is also related to England." Alter said, "If England's navy hadn't often boarded and searched the ship, even if it is peaceful now, they would have found new reasons, such as searching merchant ships to see if they were engaged in the slave trade. .”
"You are really not a good negotiator." Georgiana said, "What do you think of this? Suspend the bankers in your country from continuing to engage in business related to the slave trade, and let Hamburg take part in paying the anti-French alliance military expenses Bankers expelled."
Art stared at her face, as if trying to see through the non-existent mask on her face.
"Hamburg can continue to finance business and international settlements, just like it is just a commercial city now, so it can only do business-related things." Georgiana said.
"Anything else?" Art asked.
"Let the exiles in your country return home as soon as possible, or stop providing them with protection."
"Is it okay to collect money like in the UK?" Alter asked.
"No." Georgiana shook her head.
"Why can the UK and we can't?" Alter asked.
"Because we have the English Channel and you don't..."
When she said this, she suddenly froze.
The British-French undersea tunnel was completed in 1994. Although the tunnel was only built for 10 years, it took 200 years to finally decide to build it. The British military hopes to use the strait as a natural barrier against the European continent.
But with the rapid development of missiles, whether there is a strait is not so important, not to mention that with the changes in the international situation, these concerns have been cancelled.
However, in Newt's era, the undersea tunnel had not yet been built, so how did the Great Magic Express cross the strait to reach the European continent?
She laughed when she thought of this "interesting" question, but from Art's expression, he obviously misunderstood it.
But she didn't bother to explain. When she was "chatting" in the magic world, she heard that the earliest idea of building an undersea tunnel originated from Napoleon I. At that time, her impression of this historical figure was still the one who was riding a tall horse and wearing court clothes over the Alps. image.
Is he really short? It wouldn't be noticeable on a horse anyway, unless he got off his horse like a moving figure in a wizard's portrait.
