Chapter 2627 Wind and Flowers (6)

As a member of Goblin Finance and the Red Nose Wizard Investment Alliance, it is not surprising that goblins appear at family gatherings, although the Smith family does not seem to have heard of anyone marrying a goblin.

But Pomona met her "next family" here, and she usually sold him the magic plants she planted, but he would disguise himself when he appeared in Hogsmeade.

Now the news that there is a basilisk in Hogwarts disassembled and sold spreads like wildfire. She wanted to leave quietly before he found out, but Amos Diggory from the goblin liaison office walked straight past, so they had to part ways acted.

After passing through the crowd dancing together on the lawn, she came to a tent that was almost deserted. Although it rained a few days ago, the temperature dropped a little, but it was still a bit hot. Sweat all over.

She took a towering cocktail and drank it down in one gulp, it sang like cherries, so she couldn't resist drinking another, and she breathed a sigh of relief.

She learned it from Mr. Evans, who always did that when he came home from get off work and drank a cold beer from the fridge first thing.

She felt that this was a "custom" of Muggles.

"one person?"

Pomona looked back in that direction and realized that the speaker was a Muggle in a gray summer suit.

She didn't like the look in his eyes, like she was some kind of prey.

So she was going to leave, but she almost got caught by the hem of her robe.

Her gown lengthened, or rather, her figure shrunk, so that the clothes that used to fit became baggy.

Compared with the failure of the compound potion, what is more terrifying is that she walked in front of so many people in such disheveled clothes...

Just before she was about to scream, someone grabbed her by the hand and left the tent. He took her to a less visited corner where there were a lot of wine barrels.

Severus held his hand up so that his black cloak could hide her from it, and it made a small dark room.

Even though it was midsummer, she was shaking like winter.

In the romance novels she had read, the heroes and heroines always had a tryst in some unpopulated place, usually a garden or something.

But that's not the point, the point is that she didn't know what was in the cocktail she just drank, so she drank one after another.

Wine in the wizarding world is often added with some potion ingredients. What wizards like is not only the taste, but also the magical effect after drinking it. It is similar to Honeydukes candy. Although Muggle candy is also very interesting, but eating lemon snow Po doesn't float or breathe fire.

"I've got news," he whispered. "Would you like to hear it now or later?"

"What?" She said dazedly, feeling as if she really couldn't handle alcohol, and she was drunk after two drinks.

He might find it interesting, and asked with a smile, "What did you drink this time?"

"It's all your fault!" She thumped him hard, "The compound soup you made is getting worse and worse."

He didn't move at all, and her fists were all muscle. He was no longer the skinny boy he used to be.

There is a pure friendship between Minerva and Felicity, despite their gender differences.

But when they get along together, it's not like the two of them are now.

The biggest difference between dark wizards and ordinary wizards is that as long as they have what they want, they will take it by chance. In order to get what they want, they need power, and in order to get power, they dare to violate any taboo, even if they pay a heavy price.

After being possessed by a mysterious man, Quirrell drank the blood of unicorns in order to maintain his body that was getting closer to collapse.

And Harry touched the Philosopher's Stone with his hands. This purest substance will not only make you immortal after drinking it, but also has the effect of "refining" gold and refining the human body.

Pomona believes that Quirrell's body was "disintegrated" by the Philosopher's Stone, rather than protected by Lily's protection magic. The palms of living people sweat because of tension. When this kind of "water" touches the Philosopher's Stone, there will be some residue, but Harry didn't lick the liquid in the palm of his hand. The Philosopher's Stone decomposed Quirrell's The body does not use these "substances" to develop anything. Such a process represents destruction.

The only form of body transformation that was allowed, or less punished, was the union of man and woman, and people bound their allegiances with marriage ties and oaths.

Loyalty is a strength as well as a burden.

Without that strength, but to bear the burden, the result is overwhelming, and finally overwhelmed by responsibility. Just like Sirius asked Wormtail to be the secret keeper of the Fidelity Curse. As a result, the Potter family, which had been well hidden because of the Fidelity Curse, was betrayed by a traitor, and Sirius Black was also imprisoned in Azkaban Twelve because of Wormtail. Year.

The wine Pomona drank just now is not like Flame Whiskey, but the alcohol will evaporate quickly after being heated by body temperature. Perfume takes advantage of this feature. Many aromatic substances dissolve in alcohol, so when applying perfume, it should be sprayed on the neck and wrists These pulses or high temperature places.

None of this is something the "dead" can feel.

"After Herbaz Smith died, she didn't leave a will, and she didn't have any heirs. In order to distribute her inheritance, two brothers in the Smith family had a duel, which was presided over by Fudge." He suddenly said coldly "They both accused each other of secretly taking possession of the two most valuable relics."

Pomona was completely dizzy. At this time, he had withdrawn his arms, "dismantled" the darkroom, and stood a few steps away from her.

"What are the two?" After standing under the sun, her mind cleared up a little.

"Slytherin's locket and Hufflepuff's gold cup." He answered with certainty. "Have you looked at the portrait of Slytherin? It's on his chest."

Pomona raced through the painting in her mind, as if there was one.

A citrine-like pendant with an "s" shaped snake inside.

"A lot of people are guessing what's in the locket," Snape said. "What do you think?"

Pomona would have guessed that it contained portraits of the Slytherins, as many people did.

"Herbatz-Smith felt that her locket was real, but unlike others, she put it in a prominent place in the living room, and only a few people knew it existed."

Pomona said that she had indeed seen the elf's memory, and Herbaz Smith had put the gold cup and one other thing up for the handsome Riddle to see.

"How do you know?" Snape asked.

"Dean!" Cedric yelled.

Pomona was about to say yes.

"You want him to see you like this?" Snape said teasingly.

Pomona looked at her clothes. Leaving aside the changes in her appearance, her clothes could easily create bad associations.

"You...you brought Polyjuice Potion?" she stammered.

"No, I have a better idea," Severus said, then took her hand and Disapparated straight away.

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

Georgiana put down the pen she had just picked up.

Instead of writing a letter to persuade Bonaparte to buy diamonds, she felt that she should first investigate the ins and outs of the burning of the warehouse. After all, Marie Antoinette was involved in a scandal because of a diamond necklace.

So she sent the letter to Padma, who should be in London at the moment.

In fact, besides the Americans, there are people who may benefit from it, and that is the dark lantern festival that Georgiana heard about not long ago. They said that they will hold an "event" at Christmas, and they will become famous for it.

Mr. Martin has such an idea because he is dealing with this aspect of affairs. If you want to get cheap cotton, you must start the "Westward March". Canvas can replace cotton cloth only when there are wear-resistant fabrics to make clothes, and "white gold" is not so valuable.

A light bulb can actually be used for many years, but if the light bulb manufacturer does not care about the shoddy, when will the light bulb fail before customers need to buy a new one.

Now European countries are short of coins and gold and silver. In fact, if individuals take out the coins hidden in their own vaults or jars, they will not be short of them. However, coins are not banknotes after all, and there is no need to worry about them being damaged if they are placed underground.

During the Great Depression, Roosevelt used fireplace talk to persuade the American people to deposit their money in reputable banks. The same time was impossible to reproduce in the early 19th century, because there were no radios, let alone widespread.

According to Gamp's Law of Transfiguration, a wizard cannot conjure something that he or she does not know the internal structure of. For work, she couldn't conjure up a radio that would make its own sound.

Even magic has its limits, magic cannot bring the dead back to life, but Voldemort succeeded.

This is really a terrible thing, although it is incomparable, I hope there will be no such "person" in the future.
