Chapter 690

Hufflepuff's herbal professor loved the story of Noah's Ark, where all the animals lived in peace when the great flood came.

The Slytherin potions master beat her to the punch with one question: What do lions eat on board?

It is impossible to change a carnivore to eat grass, just like letting a cat stop chasing mice, which is against its nature, but some natures cannot make it so "natural" all the time.

Now Bavaria has not yet reached the best time of the year, but the forests of fir, oak and birch have begun to put on new clothes, and listening to the melodious music of the violin along the way is still very refreshing.

However, the children of that family were running up and down the aisles of the first-class car and playing with toy wands in the observation car, making people disturbed.

"How did we survive?" Pomona asked Severus who was reading the newspaper, listening to the noise outside.

"I don't know how you survived." He looked at the newspaper and said in a dark tone, "I always wanted to get out of that hell."

That's right, Harry loves it so much that he can't wait for the magic school to start early. For the teachers, the magic school is hell. Who said that every child is an angel? Obviously there are little devils!

"I thought nobles had flying carriages," said Pomona. "Just like Beauxbatons."

"Is that what you wanted to talk to me about? Complaining about how noisy the kids are?" He put down the newspaper and stared at her.

"What?" she asked puzzled.

"I always thought you were cool, but now we're talking like old couples."

"Is the old couple okay?"

He said ferociously, "I didn't pay for such an expensive ticket to endure the noise and listen to complaints."

The "angry" old bat is obviously in a worse mood than her. If the two children are sorted into Slytherin House, the terrible headmaster doesn't need to do anything, and the sycophant prefect can clean up the two of them. .

But now they are helpless, first, they have no identity to discipline them, and second, they are a "blind spot" on international trains.

According to Muggle law, the deck is a floating country, and which country the ship belongs to, then the laws of that country will be implemented on the ship, and the same principle is also applicable on the train.

This is the theory, but the difficulty of law enforcement is very high. When dealing with Grindelwald, the International Federation of Wizards came forward. When he committed a crime in the United States, it was the American Auror who arrested him. In the end, he still had to be handed over. In the process, Grindelwald escaped from prison.

After the handover procedures are completed, the escape of the prisoners has nothing to do with the Americans, although the prison escape happened on American soil.

Although international law prohibits the consumption of Lamora fish, laws vary from country to country, and no one would go to war over a single fish.

There is no security check on international trains, and some illegal contraband can be traded on the train. After the transaction is completed, the guests get off the train, so where can you find someone in Europe?

"Okay then, let's talk about the law."

He smiled.

"Let's talk about marriage without husband's right and dowry!" Pomona showed a grieving smile. "Oh, honey, did you buy the bus ticket with my money or yours?"

He immediately stopped smiling.

"Hahaha!" Pomona laughed arrogantly.

Marriage without husband's rights appeared when the "Twelve Tables Law" was promulgated, and it developed widely after the middle period of the Republic. After the abolition of marriage with husband's rights in the empire, it became the only popular form of marriage among the people.

Compared with a marriage with a husband's right, a marriage without a husband's right has many characteristics:

(1) The purpose of marriage is no longer based on family interests such as childbirth and succession, but the interests of the husband and wife themselves;

(2) Applicable objects include outsiders in addition to Roman citizens;

(3) The condition of marriage is the full consent of both parties;

(4) Husband and wife are formally equal, and the wife's property is also owned by the wife herself;

(5) Adult children begin to have rights and capacity, and the parental authority of the father is restricted.

Husband's power is not the power of the husband, but refers to a special privilege enjoyed by the husband that restricts the wife's personal freedom. There are provisions on husband's power in early Germanic law and Roman law.

In the common marriage without husband's rights, the children and their parents also set dowry as usual in order to subsidize the newlyweds' living and child-rearing expenses. At the same time, the parents can also use this method to pass on their property to the newborn descendants , to correct the unreasonableness of the ancient inheritance law based purely on males. Since the dowry is a gift due to marriage, the dowry is conditioned on the fulfillment of the marriage by the fiancé. If they do not marry or cannot marry, the setting of the dowry is invalid.

In the later period of the empire, the dowry had become the property that the wife brought to her husband’s family to subsidize the family. It was no longer a gift to her husband as in the past. Therefore, the husband gradually formed the obligation to return the dowry to his wife after the marriage relationship was dissolved.

Husband and wife in a marriage with husband's rights cannot have an inheritance relationship with each other, but if the wife dies before the husband or the marriage is dissolved due to the wife's fault, the husband can obtain the wife's dowry. Conversely, if the husband dies first or the marriage is dissolved due to the fault of the husband, the wife has no equal rights.

That is to say, if the husband cheats, he is not responsible for the divorce because of his negligence, and if the wife cheats, she will leave the house when she divorces. What a "fair" law.

What's more, if the wife died, the husband could still get all her property.

Rome is a martial country, and they also have the habit of killing infants, which leads to more strong men than women. Coupled with husband-right marriage, the population of men and women in ancient Rome was out of balance.

This balance was not gradually restored until the Roman Republic, when marriages without husband's rights replaced marriages with husband's rights, and wives had a certain personal status and property in the family.

Monogamy does not protect the rights of women, but the rights of men. A rich man can marry many wives. Anyway, there are many women who want to cling to men, so when there are few women, men with no money and no status will not be able to get married.

According to the inheritance rights regulations in the Middle Ages in Europe, other children born to non-wives are collectively referred to as "illegitimate children" and do not enjoy the right of inheritance. A situation where sons fight over inheritance rights.

This is because the feudal nobles frequently married and hoped that the next generation of the two families would become blood relatives, so as to establish a reliable alliance.

The prince on the top floor got married, and if the noble lady who belonged to the top floor didn't plan to spend her whole life alone with cats, then she would have to feel a little bit wronged and exchanged for an ugly "prince" like Severus.

He wasn't too bad either, although the greasy hair was off-putting.

Marriage without husband's rights gives women the right to inherit, and the queen and the king also enjoy the same political rights. The noble lady has hereditary titles and has become a countess and viscount.

"I want to talk about equal rights with me?" He bared his yellow teeth and smiled evilly.

"No, I'm just talking to you about whether our marriage has husband's rights, no, wait, if we are newly married, then we were actually concubines in the previous few years, and you are my concubine." She was very surprised, She never thought that she would do such a terrible thing.

Severus Vampire Snape laughed.

"I like another address." He stood up, crossed his hands and slowly approached her, "I am your lover, and you are my mistress."

"Am I talking stupid again?" she said feebly.

"What do you think?" he asked rhetorically, when they were only a step away.

The slopes of the snow-capped mountains outside the window had begun to turn green, and Pomona thought of the movie The Sound of Music. The Von Trapp family also had seven mischievous children, and they were also quite mischievous before they accepted her.

But after Maria played with them, she discovered that the group of little devils had a talent for singing. They sang and played games in the Alps, and the children's laughter sounded like the sounds of nature.

"I think Joseph is really saving up for the honeymoon?" Pomona asked.

"Maybe." He reached out and touched her waist "May not."

"I'm really curious what kind of woman would marry him." Pomona began to imagine that they lived comfortably in the cabin in the Alps, even though the house did not have a toilet.

He brushed her hair to her ears, and said in a deep British voice, "The pair of earrings we bought last time are still on me, do you want to wear them?"

"I remember you used black magic on it."

"When I get close, your ears get red and hot." He moved closer, almost pressing her against the mahogany carriage. "It's like being shy."

"Are you using magic on me?" she said drowsily, and she could feel his lips brushing against her ear, brushing each word like a feather.

"What do you think?" He continued to ask, but his hands were unbuttoning her clothes.

"What are you doing?"

"Exercising the authority of a husband," he said, slipping his hand under her dress.

She regained consciousness and pointed her wand at him.

He was forced to take a step back with his hands up.

"Answer me a question," she said. "Does your loyalty belong to your wife or your mistress?"

He tilted his head to look at her.

"You don't ask Lily anymore?"

The joke suddenly became serious.

"I have a question too, who are you loyal to? Albus Dumbledore or me?"

"he died."

"So does Lily." He put his hand down. "I'm a dark wizard. She can't accept me. Do you accept me?"

"certainly."

"Then why don't you wear the earrings I gave you?"

Because that earring had dark magic on it, like a Horcrux, but that's what he was, and maybe she could use it as a bell around a dog's neck, reminding her that the listening thief was nearby.

"I want to see the earrings." She held out her hand to him. "I don't trust your taste."

Just then the girl with the harp began to sing again, this time in English:

I once loved a girl, I loved her deeply, with all my heart, with all my jealousy.

But now she is thankful for my love because she is going to marry another man.

I gazed at my love as she walked through the church, radiant in her gown, surrounded by bridesmaids.

And my heart is full of sorrow, watching my lover become someone else's bride.

I stare at my love as I sit and eat while I pour myself beside her.

I thought I would be drunk to the point of unconsciousness, but I was still able to dance on the tip of the knife, and in order to protect her, I gave my life to restlessness.

But I came too late, and I lost her at last, lost her forever.

Parting, can no longer share joys and sorrows, parting, can no longer share joys and sorrows.

An old man in a castle asked me if you would protect her child because he has the same eyes as hers.

Like the lake in summer, like the green leaves of strawberries.

And I can only answer with tears: don't tell anyone.

I watched countless boats pass by on the black lake, looked into his eyes and thought about the girl I once loved.

I only want a spacious tomb site, with wild flowers swaying sweetly, and I will be buried in the mountains to sleep forever. There is no other way to forget these two.

Life and death are the same parting, raise this cup of soil.

We buried him softly and let him rest forever.

Maybe by now he's forgotten.

And maybe by now he's forgotten.

"They wrote you a song." Pomona looked at Snape, the "Love Saint", and smiled extremely sinisterly. His white teeth shone like knives, and they were rubbing against each other terribly at this moment.

"That's not me." Severus denied with a straight face. "I'm not a good person."

Pomona leaned against the wall to keep herself from falling.

This is what it's like to live in another person's shadow, why choose the difficult one when she could have chosen the easy one.

Severus took a step forward and took her into his arms.

"He forgot." He choked up and said, "It was you who helped him forget, you are the best amnestic."

She really wanted to leave this man, she wanted to work for the International Confederation of Wizards, or go to any wilderness, open up a field, and be a happy Hufflepuff who worked hard every day, worked from sunrise to sunset.

"If you betray me, I'll forget about you." She said grimly. "You take all the rest! I wish you luck, you have money, and the whole world opens its arms to you, but I want to stay, I Appreciate the old saying that the purple robe is the most beautiful shroud."

"If you betray me, we'll go to hell together." He retorted unwillingly. "I won't be the fool who watched my lover marry someone else."

"No wonder you say that we are not good people." Pomona shook her head helplessly, "We are indeed not good people."

That couple or husband and wife will think of such an extreme solution, and they will divorce if they can't make it through.

She embraced the man who had risen from the dead.

Maybe it would be nice to be buried together in the mountains with wild flowers, and it would be even better if those wild flowers were daisies.

I found that such a place is suitable for teaching. The cemetery where Newton was buried is too luxurious. Undisturbed long sleep, the restless life has obtained the final peace, but the ending is really sad.
