Chapter 297 Millennium Wheel
The Titanic was a ship of the White Star Line, headquartered in Liverpool, which collapsed in 1935. At that time, the company's main trade was shipping between Britain and Australia. During this period, gold mines were discovered in Australia, so the trade between Australia and Britain grew rapidly.
However, due to excessive reliance on loans for expansion and poor management, the company had to declare bankruptcy in the 1860s. At the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century, the new White Star Company positioned the market on Atlantic Ocean cruise ships and became a luxury cruise shipping company with a considerable scale and fleet.
Even Newt Scamander had a favorite woman before Tina. Her name was Lita Lestrange. In 1901, she and her half-brother sailed from France to England on a White Star Company ship, intending to Going to the United States, a shipwreck occurred on the way. Rita escaped by chance, but her younger brother was buried in the sea. The death of her younger brother was what she feared most. Her Boggart was a piece of white gauze, which was originally wrapped around Cous. use.
The Lestrange family values sons over daughters, and Couss is the last male heir of the Lestrange family in Corves, France. Rita lost her younger brother, but she survived, which was considered a great shame by the family. She was not allowed to study in Braston, and she was not allowed to go home on vacation, as if she was exiled.
Rita was sorted into Slytherin House, and Newt was Hufflepuff, but the two of them did not end up together. Rita chose Newt's brother Theseus, who was an Auror in the Ministry of Magic. They have a good relationship, and they didn't get along because of Rita, but because of their different ideas, they are their own masters.
Newt works for Dumbledore, and at the same time, he doesn't pay much attention to the International Statute of Secrecy, while Theseus strictly abides by the law and dare not make the slightest difference. Muggles' ability to accept magic is different. Cobb and the Evans couple are as open-minded as they are, and some people are as closed and conservative as Second Salem. Rushing to expose the magical world before reaching a consensus may lead to catastrophe. Although Grindelwald’s move is popular, it is a violation. Big mistake, especially with such a large Muggle population.
Wizards are more eager for children than Muggles, but even so wizards still restrain themselves and do not try test-tube babies. This is due to the fear of nature, fate, and the judgment of the white wizard Dumbledore.
Muggles have no fear and dare to violate any taboos, just like Dumbledore who couldn't resist the temptation to wear a cursed ring.
In 1944, Winston Churchill and President Roosevelt signed the Hyde Park Agreement on the cooperation agreement on the development of nuclear weapons. The power of nuclear weapons is huge, and it is by no means comparable to the power of wizards. It can be done. The arms race during the Cold War created a huge nuclear arsenal. These things, like the dementors, have not yet found a way to destroy them.
As long as people are not calm, they can do anything. Times are changing, and the world today is no longer the world of the Industrial Revolution.
After the two walked around Hyde Park, they came to the vicinity of Buckingham Palace. From the Thames River, they could see an additional building on the opposite bank. It didn't exist before they lived in seclusion, and it was obviously newly built by Muggles.
London is a tourist city. They quickly knew what it was from the tourist brochures on the street. It was called the London Eye. It opened at the end of 1999. It has 32 cabins, each of which can carry about 16 passengers.
Pomona is not interested in the large Ferris wheel, and she is not a tourist. If it is the kind of cabin where two people can be alone, she is still in the mood to sit on it. It just so happened that she heard the sound of horseshoes. It turned out that someone was driving a carriage through the street.
The horse-drawn carriage was London's main form of transport before the invention of the automobile, and is now a nostalgic item, as much a symbol of British culture as the red telephone box.
"You want to sit?" Severus asked as if he could read his mind.
Pomona shook her head.
If she told her true thoughts, she would be laughed to death.
"Tell me what's on your mind right now?"
She hesitated and said.
"Jack and Rose, they're in the carriage..."
"No, it was in the car." He corrected softly against her forehead, "That Christmas, I caught two students, a Hufflepuff and a Ravenclaw, and they were in the carriage .”
This is the case of the so-called shocking world. It is acceptable for Hufflepuff to form a couple with Slytherin and Gryffindor, but it is as difficult to be accepted by the world as a couple of Slytherin and Gryffindor with Ravenclaw.
Ravenclaw's Qiu Zhang liked Cedric, but she didn't dare to say it, and Cedric, who went to ask Qiu Zhang, was completely following the orders of Head Hufflepuff. That's how the old bat ruined Harry's first love.
James ruined his first love, and the old bat ruined his son's first love. If there is no reputation as a savior, Harry Potter is just an ordinary boy, and he is no match for Cedric the Unicorn. With the two of them taking the lead , the young couple didn't hide their secrets, and kissed in the carriage like dry wood and fire, but they were caught by the angry old bat, and each of them deducted 10 points.
"How did you blow up the rosebushes?" she asked dazedly.
"That stuff bugs me," he said, also in a daze. "Karkaroff keeps talking after me like it's not pathetic enough that I can't get a date and being pestered by a guy."
In the words of today's children, Severus is the kind of straight guy who can't be more straight. When Neville used Boggarts to conjure up his image in women's clothing in the third grade, he used a stronger male image to show people, In slang, it means to look like a man.
"Hey, lovebirds, do you want to take you for a while?" said the coachman in the car. "We can take you on the route of the royal wedding."
Severus smiled and said, "They really know how to do business."
"What?" she asked dazedly.
Severus directly pulled her into the carriage without even asking the price, and started kissing after closing the carriage door.
The coachman flicked the reins, and the two black horses walked forward slowly. Of course, this tourist carriage was not as luxurious as the royal carriage, but it had glass and carriages, which could block the cold outside, and she felt very warm.
Occasionally when she opened her eyes, she found that although there were pedestrians on the side of the road, she did not pay too much attention to them. It was not as empty as the royal wedding, and there was a TV broadcast.
The half-blood prince is surnamed prince, but he is not a real prince. The real crown prince’s wedding is very luxurious, but the princess’s life is not happy. She and her boyfriend died in a car accident in Paris, France. There are many conspiracy theories and magazines in Paris every year. Discuss around her.
The ultimate dream of every girl is to wear the most beautiful wedding dress and become the most beautiful bride in the eyes of everyone.
But Tonks chose to marry Lupine in a tavern, perhaps in her odd sister's shirt and jeans.
She was really a silly girl, as silly as Rose, and Severus said she jumped off the lifeboat she was already on to survive.
Jack asked her, why are you so stupid? Ross, why are you so stupid?
Ross replied, you dance and I dance too.
Women are so stupid sometimes.
Some people can be very strong and marry another person with love for one person, but some people can't do it. Pomona thinks that Severus sees women too realistically, because he is a realistic person and is no longer A silly kid twenty-four years ago.
"Why are you crying?" Pomona asked Severus.
"I don't want to be like him." He choked up and said, "He is the one who is immersed in the vain dream. What did he get in exchange for his sacrifice?"
Pomona knew that Severus said he was Dumbledore, a good man, but unfortunately he was gay, so someone directly classified him as a pest.
"Grindelwald protected him." Pomona held Severus in her arms. "He can declare war on the world without hurting him."
What a silly dark wizard, Pomona also cried.
Dumbledore can't accept living in the eyes of others. He wants to be a great man, and Grindelwald has fulfilled him, allowing Dumbledore to defeat himself and achieve the glory of the White Wizard.
"I'm sorry, I signed an unbreakable vow with someone without thinking twice." He cried and said, "I should have signed it with you."
"Arthur knows that Fred spanked Fred when he tricked Ron into signing the Unbreakable Vow, at least we now know that Fred didn't get it for nothing." Pomona said coldly, Arthur was so angry that he punched someone, and Fred deserved it."
"what should we do?"
"Remember Malfoy's family motto, regret is a draining emotion, a loss greater than a loss, a mistake greater than a mistake, cherish every day, we don't have forever, only now." She whispered, "I know Lucius can't believe it, but I don't want to have no guests at my wedding, can you invite him?"
"Who do you want to invite?" He regained his composure and asked soothingly.
"Minerva McGonagall," she said with a smile, "one is the trustee and the other is the principal. How about we invite someone from outside the school?"
"Who else?"
She fell into the memory, who else has nothing to do with Hogwarts, almost everyone in the wizarding world has attended Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
"You must think I'm crazy, Severus," Pomona whispered. "I'd like to invite Fleur and Bill Weasley."
A mixed-race Veela who shares the same fate as her, but may have a different ending, is the one who opened the door to a new world for her.
"Severus, have you ever wondered why France is so open and can accept a half-blood giant as dean, and the half-blood Veela is not discriminated against?"
"Don't tell me that Grindelwald did it," he said viciously.
"I don't know," Pomona said with a laugh, "but it sounds like he did, and the old fool brought so many half-bloods into the school, even werewolves."
Severus looked at her with your crazy eyes.
"I wish I could be a human being." She wiped away his tears and murmured, "Why is such a simple wish so difficult to realize?"
It's really strange, why can't humans see the sorrow of mixed blood?
Fleur is a favored girl, Pomona also wants to be like Madame Maxime, just be her.
"If you really want to be human so much, then find a way, don't make impossible wishes like birthdays." He looked at her ruthlessly. "Will you make the Philosopher's Stone with me?"
"No!" She refused with a smile without hesitation, "Nickelome's bones can be easily broken, you can't stand those days."
"How did you know?"
"If you want to be the Philosopher's Stone, I will be hostile to you, there is no room for negotiation." She replied calmly, "We finally got out of the darkness, don't let us go back, my dear."
