Harry Potter’s Morning Light

   Chapter 2551 Smoke and Mirror (Seventeen)

   Since being kicked out of the school board, Lucius Malfoy has been unwilling to be "out" like this, and it is not surprising that he appears in the school again as an official of the Ministry of Magic.

Although Pomona and Filius were ready to "challenge", Albus sent them, along with Snape, to Harry Potter to release the Patronus, not only driving away the Dementors, but also protecting To his godfather's Forbidden Forest lake.

The centaurs found something unusual there when they passed by last time. They are not like humans. Because of the isolation of their clothes, they cannot keenly sense the changes in temperature. Obviously, the temperature there is still very low in midsummer, even if the lake is not haunted by dementors that night. The same freezes.

  Anyway, the three of them had an excuse to leave the castle, leaving Albus and Minerva to "go head to head" with Lucius Malfoy.

The roots of the trees in the forest are very unfriendly to Fei Liwei. Where they can cross with one foot, Fei Liwei has to use some "little tricks". Fortunately, the lake is not far away, and they arrived in a short time. .

   It is not so much a lake as it is a larger pond. It looks very peaceful during the day. The lake is shallow and clear, and you can see the stones at the bottom of the lake.

   Muggle eyes can't see dementors, but they leave very faint shadows, like a transparent black, and Muggles make a fuss when they see that shadow but don't see the "real". This is how many "haunted" incidents come about, but not all "ghosts" are related to Dementors. They are not allowed to go to the Muggle community according to regulations. Instead, it is because Boggart is hiding everywhere that it is difficult to limit it. The culprit behind the "haunted" incident of the mischievous elves.

   Pomona's heart was pounding, partly because she saw hordes of Dementors in the telescope attacking Harry and Sirius. Harry couldn't see it himself, but all the onlookers could see it. At that time, there were at least hundreds of dementors, all of them hovering above the heads of the two of them, almost completely covering them like dark clouds.

   Later, Harry used the Goddess Guard, the first light was not conspicuous, and the second light was too dazzling, no one could see who was sending the Patronus.

   "Can you feel it?" Severus asked.

   She nearly jumped and hid three feet away from him.

   This is the second reason why her heartbeat is racing. If you ignore Fei Liwei, it is that the two of them are alone.

   "Feel what?" she asked almost screaming.

   He looked at her strangely.

   "Magic aftertaste," Severus said. "There's a 'resonance' here."

   "For a child who is about to turn 14, Mr. Potter's Patronus is very powerful, unusually powerful." Fei Liwei said, "Almost catching up with Albus' Phoenix Patronus."

  Pomona calmed down a little.

   "Maybe that's why he's 'chosen'," Pomona said half-jokingly.

No one laughed, Fei Liwei walked to the lake and pointed lightly at the water surface with his wand. A miraculous scene happened. He actually picked up the silver wire from the mirror-like lake surface, or in other words, it was like putting in a pensieve for memory. Bright silver substance.

   "Do you know what this is?" Filivie said, as if asking a question in class.

   "Mr. Potter's memory." Severus replied. "Happy memory used when invoking God's Guard."

   "Why didn't it go away?" Pomona asked.

   "That's exactly what we need to figure out." Felix put down his wand and looked around. "I'll go ahead and take a look."

   Before Pomona could say wait a minute, Feiliwei left on his own accord, and soon disappeared across the lake.

  According to reason, at this time, she should think about the principle of magic, analyze the cause and effect, and so on.

   But her heart was beating wildly and completely uncontrollably, even more violently than at the entrance to the chamber. The difference is that she didn't feel that heat flow here, so she didn't have to worry about the compound decoction becoming invalid.

   While thinking so, she looked down at the lake, which reflected her like a mirror.

If you're after the happiness that food brings, and you cook like Pomona with lots of butter, you're almost out of love, because the vast majority of men like women of "average size," even if they're not like Victoria's Secret models. That way, at least they should be well-proportioned, as fat as Sprout or Madame Maxime's height were out of their consideration.

   Maybe they will buy tickets out of surprise when they watch the freak show, as for giving roses, that's impossible.

Lily is the kind of "average size" woman, and she also has a pair of charming lake green eyes and a beautiful face, unlike Mystery Man's mother Merope, although she also has an "average size", she has a long face. The man's distasteful face, his eyes even staring in the opposite direction, the Muggle father of You-Know-Who couldn't accept their mother and son anyway.

Rich Muggles often have one or two illegitimate children. As long as they can get rid of the humble houses and poor life of the Gaunt family, not everyone has the backbone and must get married. Only the father of the child needs to pay the living expenses regularly. Their mother and son will do.

  Simon Finnigan's mother told his Muggle dad she was a witch after they got married, and he didn't see the monster as unacceptable, so witch identity was sometimes not the "biggest" issue.

It may be because of this that Pomona fantasized that he was a mixed-race Veela, and had hallucinations when he looked in the mirror, so that he could not accept the "real" self reflected in the lake - a short and fat man. Ugly woman, Rohart even used her to show off how good-looking he was and how charming his smile was.

   "Pomona?" Snape called suddenly.

   She almost woke up from a nightmare.

   "Are you okay?" he asked concerned.

   She looked at him in decent clothes, so she looked like a professor, and then she looked at herself in a mud witch robe. If she was only a teenager, she might hide her face and run away crying.

   At this moment she remembered Albus Dumbledore, and the education he had given her over the years, she abandoned the emotions and thoughts that hindered rational thinking, and the brain began to function normally.

   "Tell me, what is a Patronus?" Pomona asked Severus, in the same tone a teacher would say to a student. "Who else among your fellow Death Eaters would call for a guardian?"

   "Many people," Snape said. "There's more than one kind of happy memory."

   "You're lying," Pomona said.

   "Why should I lie?" he said proudly, and took two steps along the lake. "What do you think is the difference between flying on a broom and hunting?"

"what?"

"There's no difference, they're all sports, don't forget that Quidditch caught the Snitch before the Snitch." As if he was questioning her, he went around her and said, "The Guardians need happy memories, as long as they're happy memories. , why does it have to be what you said?"

   he babbled, she almost wrote.

   "You're wrong!" she retorted.

   "Don't be so naive, Pomona, the happiness of an adult is different from that of a child." He said with great determination that "a lot of people's patron saints will change when they grow up."

   "Mine haven't changed!" she exclaimed, raising her wand.

   "Don't do that!" Snape shouted, "You'll destroy the scene."

   "What about you? Your Patronus has changed?" Pomona asked, lowering his wand.

   "The Patronus doesn't represent anything, it's just a form of transformative magic." He looked across the lake and said that Filivie was already standing where Harry Potter stood before.

There is a peculiar magic in this scene. If there was no light from the guardian of the gods, Harry in the past and Harry in the future would be face-to-face. James, who looks like himself, just like Sirius would confuse Harry with James when he was studying.

  The time converter can only go back to the past, not to the "future", James cannot save his son.

   "Did Mr. Potter mention to you what kind of memory he used to summon the Patronus?" Pomona asked the two of them.

   "Didn't he mention it to the principal?" Fei Liwei asked.

   "I didn't ask," Pomona said.

   "Neither did I." Snape said coldly, as if in a fit of anger.

   What is he angry about? It's really inexplicable.

===================================================== =======

  There are two main types of lawyers in the UK: trial lawyers and solicitors. A trial lawyer is to go to court and argue with the opposing lawyer in the courtroom like a duel, influencing the testimony of the judge and jury, and defending the client.

   Attorneys are engaged in non-litigation business, mainly dealing with civil and commercial legal documents for clients. Trevithick refused to pay Soho's royalties, even if the "tax collectors" who were dumped at the head of the mine did not sue them, there was no way to avoid judicial risks.

   Small and micro companies like them cannot even be called companies, and they cannot hire serious lawyers who work in the office. Or to put it this way, Mr. Jim Foley, a solicitor, got involved in a murder case in the UK. He fled to Belgium. Although it is unknown whether his lawyer's license has been cancelled, his skills are still there, so he was arrested by Trevi. Hick hired.

He killed the only son of an earl, and the earl's only son brought a group of people to the hotel where he was staying. Unfortunately, the future earl's wife was lying next to Fleet, and the young woman's father was a lawyer. employer.

   He and the future countess had known each other since childhood, but his employer insisted on marrying her to the count's ignorant heir. This kind of marriage is very common in this era. Nobles who have a glorious family history but do not have enough wealth to support aristocratic life will marry the nascent bourgeoisie. What do you think about your daughter.

   The future Countess had a miserable life, her ignorant husband, when he had money, played more crazy than before, and often did not go home. And Jim, a solicitor, often goes to her house, so their "sincere feelings" can't be suppressed, and then...

The earl's son came to the door with a sword. Although Jim was a lawyer, he also had a sword. The furious earl wanted to stab Jim to death. Jim forced his own life and that of his lover's life to be threatened before drawing a sword to fight back. In the chaos, he stabbed the earl's son. , the earl's son fell to the ground, bleeding profusely.

   Then Jim ran off and got on any boat on the Thames to Belgium.

   He was running in a hurry with nothing on him, and it happened that Tracywick needed a lawyer, so they got together.

   Then Jim followed Triswick to Brussels, and then he knelt down in front of Georgiana and told a "moving" story in a moving tone.

  Jim and the Countess truly love each other, but because his status does not meet her father's requirements, they break up the couple who grew up together and force her to marry someone she doesn't love.

   If Georgiana was 20 years younger, she would have believed him.

   Even a solicitor is a lawyer, who would believe what a lawyer said?

   This kind of scandal would have been "talked about" after it was exposed, but now everyone is more eager to discuss Mr. William Coker's two wives and their ghosts, psychics and Methodist Archbishops.

   So she couldn't help but worry about Padma, can she handle this situation?
