Harry Potter’s Morning Light

  Chapter 1171 Louvre’s Wizard (8)

  Every Wednesday and Saturday, the Louvre will be open for night shows. At this time, the Louvre is no longer the noise caused by the daytime sightseeing group, and it becomes quiet. The lion entrance where they entered the pavilion during the day has been closed. Everyone has to enter the Louvre from the entrance under the glass pyramid. The first aisle to enter after the security check is the medieval Parisian street scene and the Louvre wall that has sunk underground. .

  During the day, Pomona just felt something was wrong, but after nightfall, the feeling of "something was wrong" became stronger.

  The Louvre is not like the blog of Bokin, which is full of collections that are evil at first glance, but it is often these "artworks" that are particularly prone to problems. Except for the diary, Tom Riddle's Horcrux is not a work of art such as jewelry.

Unknowingly, they walked to the Syuli Pavilion. During the day, there was basically no one in the pavilion. At night, no one could see it. The lights inside were very dim. She stared at the ancient Egyptian sculptures all the way. , I don't know if she is dazzled, she always feels as if it is covered with a layer of black tulle.

   "I must be crazy." She murmured, "We better go back as soon as possible."

  No one paid any attention to her, Severus walked to the meditation basin, and Gonsey walked to a stone monument. They turned their backs to her, as if their souls were sucked away by the objects in front of them.

   "Oh~" She looked around with fear, so she trot over to Severus, holding his arm in anxiety, hoping that this would give herself courage.

   "Hey." The old bat was very impatient and squinted at her. "These sculptures can't move, what are you afraid of?"

  The paintings of the Wizarding World are dynamic, which is the biggest difference from the paintings drawn by Muggles.

  Part of the consciousness of the wizard will remain in the painting after death, but it is quite different from his own, but even in the world of wizards, it is not so often that we see active sculptures. During the Battle of Hogwarts, Minerva urged the sculptures to be based on what principle Pomona did not understand. After all, Albus trusted Minerva more than her, even if Hefpaff was At the Earth Academy, he also taught Minerva the spell.

  Pomona feels very unhappy every time she thinks about it, and she doesn’t know if it has something to do with the dark power flowing in the air.

  English mummy, derived from the Persian word mumiai, means "asphalt". It has been used as a medicinal material in the Middle Ages. At that time, people did not associate "asphalt" with mummy.

Later, even if they knew it, no one said anything. Many people knew about the unusual funeral customs of the Egyptians and their understanding of the soul and resurrection. Even King Francois I of France carried a small bag of mummy powder with him. Come emergency.

This evil drug is very popular, not only like Muggles, but also by wizards. In the underground black market they visited, not only mummy powder was sold during the 18th century, but also corpse oil extracted from mummies. Painters also This material was chosen as the pigment, and many of the famous paintings in the Louvre collection have this substance. And people at that time generally believed that the higher the status of the mummies while they were alive, the stronger their medicinal value and magical powers.

  Mummy trafficking is a dangerous business. This is not only because the Egyptian government prohibits merchants’ gatekeepers from transporting the bodies of mummies through strict taxes, but also because ships carrying mummies often encounter storms and shipwrecks. However, under the temptation of huge profits, some people still smuggle them secretly.

  Anointing was originally a sacred ritual in Christianity, but if the plaster is extracted from the mummy of the pharaoh, then it is not so sacred. Because ancient mummies were difficult to preserve and the transportation was demanding, illegal merchants centuries ago directly used modern human corpses to make corpse oil and powder. Compared with France, the Egyptians are more accustomed to calling the French Frank. Although the pronunciation is almost the same, it is a different concept. This is a time when Damascus scimitars, camel cavalry and caliphs were in 1000 years ago. .

   "I'm afraid." She shivered and said, "Do you have amulets or something?"

   Severus pursed his lips and shook his head, with an unreasonable look that she tried to take her arm away, but was hugged tightly by Pomona.

   "Let go!" he warned.

  "Not loose!" She replied categorically, "It's okay if I want to loosen it, and we will go back immediately."

   "You just said you wanted to explore!"

   "I regret it, can't it?"

  The death gaze of the old bat appeared.

  Pomona stared into his eyes without fear, as if her guts were back again.

   "Cough cough." Gong Saiyi coughed twice, and the two of them turned their eyes to him at the same time.

   "If you don't mind, I have an amulet here." Gonsey said, and took out a children's toy-a puppy made of straw from a medieval purse full of embroidery.

"Have you read Zhuangzi?" Gong Saiyi seemed to see the suspicion in Pomona's eyes, and said, "In Zhuangzi's fortune, if you encounter a nightmare and can't breathe, you can use this kind of grass. The dog model made to drive away bad luck."

  "Dogs in England mean another thing." Severus looked at the grass dog with beaming eyes. "Especially the black dog. That's a sign of bad luck."

  Gonsey looked at Pomona, as if asking her if she would like this amulet.

  "Can Chinese amulets protect against Egyptian ghosts?" As soon as Pomona's voice fell, Severus slapped her forehead.

   "Oh, it hurts." She wailed, clutching the place where she was beaten.

   "You are a wizard." Severus gritted his teeth and said every word, "Please look like a wizard."

   "Okay." Pomona solemnly nodded towards Severus, then took Gonsey's amulet and hung it around her neck.

   "What are you doing?" Severus frowned.

   "Do what a wizard should do, with amulets all over her body." Pomona proudly held the puppy amulet in front of Severus. "Is it cute?"

   "Don't be so crazy like an old fool..."

   "What kind of plant is it made of?" Pomona took the puppy amulet and smelled it carefully. I don't know if it was her illusion. She always felt that she smelled the soap that Sirius often uses.

  "A kind of vanilla called Miwu, it can drive away ghosts and prevent bad luck." Gong Saiyi said.

  Pomona looked at Severus.

   "What are you doing?" Severus asked stiffly.

   "Nothing." Pomona replied pretentiously.

  She would never tell the nasal mucus, every time Sirius met him, he had to wash away bad luck with this kind of soap that can drive away evil spirits. He obviously wouldn't do that if he came into contact with the werewolf Lupin.

Severus not only doubted the relationship between Sirius and James, but even the relationship between Sirius and Remus. This was provided by the memory of Remus. In the screaming shed, he actually said that Remus and West Reese is an "old husband and old wife". The careless Gryffindor didn't care about this. The old bat's way of harming people became more sophisticated after more than ten years of tempering, so that the old opponents in the past did not understand the meaning of his words.

  Siris and Remus did not understand Severus's irony, and they lived their lives as they were. Severus suffered internal injuries and called them both stupid.

Pomona felt that he asked for it. Although the way he cursed was vicious enough, he wouldn’t feel that happiness if others didn’t understand him. It’s better to be more direct. Later, he scolded Sirius and used "stupid". "Dog" to refer to.

  While sniffing the vanilla on the grass dog model, she continued to walk around in a good mood. The gloomy sculptures suddenly looked less scary.

  It's like having a loyal big dog accompany her by her side. Whatever monsters dare to provoke her, this big dog will bite them. It must be the best bodyguard in the world.
