Harry Potter Morning Light

Chapter 1139 "The Honest Big Sister"

In Gone with the Wind, after the war, Scarlett's sister Sue is always complaining that doing farm work has made her hands thicker, that hands are a woman's second face and so on.

Sue was so eager to leave the life that made her miserable, in order to run to the "happiness" she longed for, to be a woman in the city, have a small but warm family, and run a small grocery store with Frank.

Maybe hire someone so her hands don't get rough.

Scarlett is trying to find a way to raise money to pay the cotton tax imposed by the new government to keep the manor.

Compared with the small apartment in Atlanta, Twelve Oaks Manor must be much more luxurious.However, it was also dilapidated after the war, and it was not easy to rebuild it.

If Scarlett hadn't found Frank, Rhett would have lent the money to Scarlett.Seeing her sister living in the rebuilt and luxurious manor, what kind of mood does Su, who lives in an Atlanta-sized apartment, feel?

"What is this?" Pomona asked Felix, holding the painting in her hand.

"Dragon!" said the young man without a doubt.

Pomona looked at the lizard-like elongated creature that seemed to have eaten something bad and was retching with its tongue sticking out. It was really difficult to associate it with a "dragon".

"I don't remember a dragon looking like this." Pomona said softly. "Have you read the book I gave you?"

"Of course," said Felix.

"Then you still draw like this?"

"I like dragons like this."

Fiona was indifferent to the interaction between the two, as if she was still thinking about Severus' proposal at lunch yesterday that Felix should not go to the magic school and train as a warlock born for war.

People who don't know about war will be like the southern manor owners in Gone with the Wind, cheering when they hear about the war.

Eastern Europe is close to Russia, and Romania does not get along well with Russians due to historical reasons.

Pomona can understand Fiona's dream of smuggling to England to seek a "peaceful and happy" life.In the past, immigrants from the New World also left Europe with the dream of pursuing freedom and getting rich.

Pomona didn't know that at the Triwizard Tournament Yule Ball, the Minister of Magic of Transylvania actually came.

In the last Wizarding War, Transylvanian mercenaries joined the Death Eaters.It's so poor over there that vampires are renting out their castles as tourist attractions.Fighting wars is a means of livelihood for Transylvanian wizards, and the prohibition of dueling laws promoted internationally by the British Ministry of Magic will definitely not work on their side.

At that time, there were many "red-haired boys" in Hogwarts. Ron was busy arguing with Hermione, and the twins were not interested in this kind of "politics". Charlie raised dragons in Romania, so he should know Condition.

I'm afraid that Percy Weasley, a "boy" who has been staying in the UK and is stupid in reading, can persuade the Minister of Magic of Transylvania to sign the consent form.

It seemed that Severus was not like Hufflepuff's children said, standing in the corner like a humanoid black hole, sucking all the light away.The habit of double agents who love to inquire about news has been ingrained in their blood. However, Hogwarts can no longer hire mercenaries like Death Eaters. Kicked out of the school board.

Although the funding problem of Hogwarts is not as tense as it was in the 70s, it cannot fill the greedy heart of the bottomless pit of mercenaries.The commercial empire Venice was exhausted by Italian mercenaries, not to mention a school with only a little side business.

What Hogwarts can offer is superb magic, and Albus sent a cluster of quaint fairy fire as a gift, and asked Hagrid to give it to the giants so that they could join the Hogwarts camp.No one among the fire eaters could do it, and it couldn't be bought with money. The giant believed in the strength of Hogwarts, so he joined this side.

Giants are not as stupid as trolls, they also evaluate bets like humans.

In order to "test" Hagrid's strength, the leader of the giant fought with the half-giant. Although Hagrid is not as high as Glop's magic resistance, it is not easy to beat him until he is covered in blood. .

To "negotiate" with the mermaid, even if Pomona thinks they have a good relationship, she can't go empty-handed.

Even if you want to give a gift, you can't give a picture as bad as Felix's "Dragon".

Mermaids are women too, but do they like what human women like?
"We're going to Burgundy later, are you going?" Pomona put down the painting and asked Fiona.

Felix looked at his mother expectantly.

"Next time, we don't know France well either." Severus straightened his cuffs and walked into the living room.

He looked Pomona up and down.

"Is this what you wear?"

"What's the problem?" Pomona looked at her pastoral floral dress.

"Every time Lucius waits for Sissy to go out, he has to wait for two hours." He gritted his teeth and tried his best to maintain a smile. "I hope I can wait for you next time instead."

"This is the first time I've ever seen a man willing to wait for a woman to get dressed." Pomona looked at him in disbelief.

The old bat stopped smirking.

"Do you think your outfit matches mine?" He said unhappily.

"Your clothes are all in one style. I can't match your black clothes with anything I wear. If you plan to change into other clothes, I'd like to match you." Pomona looked at him and shook her head, "It's so hot , don't you feel bad?"

Fiona covered her mouth and smiled.

Severus glared at her with a death stare in exasperation, and then took Pomona's arm and left the manor's living room without tenderness.

"We're all in France, how about some clothes shopping?" she suggested defiantly.

Severus opened the gate of the manor expressionlessly, and then slammed it shut.

"Ah!" Pomona screamed, clutching her slapped butt.

"You're not one of those damn students." Severus threatened grimly. "Next time you're so naughty..."

"Oh~, the professor is angry." Pomona completely ignored the threat of the snot-nosed man. "It's really scary."

That snarky old bat who can drive people out of their minds has run out of words.

Pomona laughed.

She smiled so heartily, and the "vampire" who had been sullen all the time softened the expression that was as stiff as a stone.

"We'll go to Paris sometime," Severus said. "Today we'll go to Burgundy."

"I'm going back to England on September 9th." Pomona took out the Muggle newspaper "Pride and Prejudice premieres that day!"

"I remember that book has been made into a movie." Severus squinted at the headline in the newspaper.

"It's a remake, and I think the style of the dress looks better than the one in 95." Pomona looked at the movie poster in the newspaper. "It's finally not an empire high-waisted skirt."

"You don't like the dress I gave you?"

"Sometimes you have to admit, Severus, that your taste is on par with antiques in a museum. Think of Ron Weasley's lace-covered gown."

"Oh~" He showed a pained expression.

"When I wear that dress, I look the same to other girls. I wear it because you like it." Pomona said with her waist in her waist. I got you tickets to the Quidditch World Cup, and you have to find a way to get me tickets to the premiere of Pride and Prejudice."

"How many times have you read that book?" He said impatiently.

This time it was Pomona who was angry.

"Last time you said watching that movie wasted 2 hours of your life, why did you just say you were willing to wait for me like Lucius for [-] hours for me to put on makeup?"

"That's different."

"Why is it different?" She asked to get to the bottom of it.

He opened his mouth, but without uttering a last word, he directly grabbed her arm and apparated.
