Chapter 3359 Peter and Lombard (1)
When Professor Binns was still alive, the content of his lectures was actually not that "hypnotic". Pomona had read the notes of former Hogwarts students about the Giant War, which were quite detailed and exciting.
Professor Binns was already dead when the first Goblin Rebellion occurred. What if the Battle of Hogwarts turned out to be as long and bloody as the Goblin Rebellion?
The fertility rate of magical creatures has always been very low, even for goblins. The long-term war has caused heavy losses to both wizards and goblins, forcing them to sit down and negotiate.
For the final battle, both Voldemort and Dumbledore fought for the "future".
Pomona did not support Voldemort in addition to his ruthlessness, but also because she did not believe that the dwindling bloodline of pure-blood wizards could make the wizarding world prosperous again. She preferred to believe in the "potential" mentioned by Godric Gryffindor.
Even if Muggles accepted the "gift", the probability of becoming wizards was very low, but the population base was there, and Dumbledore sent all the students to the battlefield.
She said Severus hadn't changed, but how much had she changed herself?
When she came to the front hall, Caroline was letting the artist paint her portrait. Although her pregnancy had made her figure out of shape, what the artist was painting at the moment was not her body. At this time, Caroline was lying in a reclining position, looking at the painter at the same angle as the Mona Lisa, wearing a ruby necklace around her neck.
People during the Renaissance believed that rubies could protect mothers and help them give birth smoothly, and this custom seems to have been passed down.
There is a portrait painting of a woman's side face. It is a work by Leonardo da Vinci. The ruby necklace around her neck has been taken off. The person in the painting does not smile like the Mona Lisa. Her eyes are empty and her face is expressionless. .
Georgiana suddenly wanted to look in the mirror. Did she look like that?
She never liked to eulogize girls' love and war together as poetry. It was considered a bad thing for women to study in the Middle Ages, and they could easily be regarded as witches. They should be pious and have children.
There is a version of the legend about the Mona Lisa. Lisa, who married a wealthy businessman at the age of 15, hoped that Leonardo da Vinci would paint a portrait of her at the age of 20. She was already the mother of five children. She was worried that she would age prematurely due to childbirth. Da Vinci agreed to her, but there were two conditions. She had to dress herself according to her own will, and the second was to face Da Vinci.
Lisa did not feel that Leonardo was deviant. On the contrary, she happily "dressed herself up" as Leonardo said, rather than being a wife and mother.
She took off her gorgeous jewelry, took off her bright Italian-style coat, and put on a long black dress popular in the Spanish court. She not only faced Leonardo da Vinci, but even smiled at him.
"Are you bored?" Georgiana asked Caroline. "Would you like a comedian?"
"No, I just feel tired." Caroline touched her belly and said tiredly, "This little thing is full of energy and kicked me awake."
Georgiana looked at Caroline's belly. She couldn't feel it, or she could say that the child was no longer in her belly before she felt her daughter kick her.
"Can I touch it?" Georgiana asked.
Caroline hesitated for a moment, then put her hand aside, as if tacitly agreeing that Georgiana could touch it.
Georgiana raised her hand and touched Caroline's belly. The little guy inside immediately sensed it and kicked that spot.
"Ouch." Caroline screamed in pain, and then cursed fiercely, "You'd better get out as soon as possible, and then I'll let you experience the feeling of being kicked."
Georgiana smiled.
"Pre-production period is when?"
"May, can you help me?" said Caroline.
Georgiana took the hand that Caroline extended and helped her to sit up halfway.
Caroline sat on the edge of the lounge chair in a somewhat indecent but comfortable position.
"It's nice that men don't have to go through this," Georgiana said. "Are you right, General?"
Dopul said nothing and kept his straight posture.
"What's he doing here?" Caroline asked.
Georgiana did not answer for Doppe. She did not think that Italy could still provide 20 million francs as military expenditure. The country needed to recuperate, not another war, even if she used the reason of "long-term pain is worse than short-term pain".
"Finished the job," Dople said dully. "Just like my father, my grandfather, and the rest of my ancestors."
"Has your family been in the military for generations?" Georgiana asked.
"Yes, madam." Dople said without hesitation, "My noble status even aroused the suspicion of the National Council. They planned to investigate me, but my soldiers protected me, so now, I want to Work for their benefit.”
"Didn't you say the mission was completed? Why did you mention your soldiers again?" Georgiana said.
"Both," Dople said. "The general orders me, and others count on me."
"Someone is counting on me too." Georgiana smiled at Caroline and said, "Do you have any good wine here?"
"If you want a drink, just get it yourself. Don't be so polite." Caroline said with a smile.
Yes, it's like you and Murat encouraged Louis and Hortense to have a religious wedding.
Georgiana also smiled at Caroline, but she still remembered the "past" when Caroline tried to bribe her maid.
"Shall I walk with you in the garden for a while, or do you want to lie still?" said Georgiana.
"Let's go." Caroline stood up awkwardly with Georgiana's support. "It's not a good thing to sleep for too long."
It should have rained for a while last night. Although there was no sound of rain or thunder, the ground was already soaked by the rain.
Georgiana was worried that Caroline would slip and fall, and she couldn't afford to pay for it.
"How are you doing with your business?" Caroline asked casually.
"I have nothing serious to do," said Georgiana gloomily.
"If you miss him, write him a letter." Caroline encouraged, "You don't think he will always take the initiative to write you a letter, do you?"
"I don't feel it." She said after a long silence.
"You don't love him anymore?" Caroline asked in surprise.
"It's not... it's inspiration." She corrected, "Only when you have inspiration can you write wonderful things."
"I didn't know you were an artist." Caroline said with a smile, looking very relaxed.
Georgiana also felt relaxed, as a woman should be.
No wonder everyone was so serious just now.
"Do you want to help Mullah and your brother?" Georgiana asked softly.
Caroline looked at Georgiana.
Her eyes look a lot like Napoleon's.
"What did you notice?" Caroline asked.
Georgiana stared at Caroline's belly. The birth of a new baby would be a good bond. For example, Harry arranged for his unborn son to be named Albus Severus Potter. This is really extraordinary. creativity.
But more fundamental issues still need to be addressed.
"Strengthen your brothers, for I have made you the head of the apostles, according to the Gospel of Luke." Georgiana said, "Even if Paulina remarries, Murat will still be the best of the 'brothers-in-law'."
Caroline chuckled.
"That's not necessarily true. Maybe Paulette will find a prince as her husband." Caroline said happily.
"He didn't make any contribution to Leon." Georgiana said softly, "Mula not only followed him in the north and south, but also helped him so much."
"There is something I told you. You may be unhappy, but don't take it to heart." Caroline said, "There is a play playing at the opera house recently."
"What show?" Georgiana asked with a sneer.
"Queen of Lombardy," Caroline said meaningfully.
Georgiana was still smiling.
"If there's anything to be upset about, they can just act if they like," Georgiana said nonchalantly.
"Did that British man disappoint you that much? You don't miss him at all?" Caroline asked with a smile.
"What was in that play?" Georgiana asked with a smile.
Caroline stopped probing and chatted with her about the plot of the new show.
