Harry Potter’s Morning Light

Chapter 3144 Silver Eagle and Golden Eagle (5)

Pomona cried sadly, as if she had become a student again and ran to the dean's office to tell her troubles.

Although Severus' words were a little vicious, some of them were undeniable. Even the "White Wizard" was not necessarily a perfect saint. He was also ambitious and full of fantasy when he was young, and even became good friends with Grindelwald.

 After the annexation of Austria and the establishment of the German Third Reich, Germany ranked first in Europe in terms of population and economic strength. But even so, the population of the Third Reich was still impossible to support a world war. Even with the advent of population farms, it took at least 15 years for a child to grow up. As a result, the Führer became obsessed with dark magic, especially Grindelwald's technology that could create an Inferi. He even turned a "Kirin" into an Inferi.

Grindelwald has never thought of using the Philosopher's Stone to refine the human body. Although it is a forbidden technique, theoretically the Philosopher's Stone can still do it.

 After the end of World War I, the price of bread in Germany was as high as 500,000 marks. This was certainly related to the inflation at the time, but also because Germany ceded land including East Prussia.

Sicily was called the "Golden Basin" in the classical era, but it was not an important source of food for Germany at that time. It was too small. Hitler was interested in the oil fields in the Caucasus and the vast farmland in Eastern Europe.

After the death of Emperor Frederick II of the Holy Roman Empire, the empire fell into the "Great Interregnum" period, and then it was the turn of Rudolf I of the Habsburg family to become emperor.

The marriage of Frederick II's parents made him the heir to Sicily, but the Holy See strongly opposed it. If Frederick II wanted to take the crown, he would need to give up Sicily.

The Third Reich had no emperor, and Hitler did not need the Habsburg family to expand his influence. Whether he treated the Habsburg family members well or treated them like a czar, no one remembered what happened more than 700 years ago.

Including Newton, everyone lost a lot of money in the South China Sea Bubble. It is difficult for an individual to be alone in the face of this kind of fanaticism. Why bother to be a superhero in American comics and do such unreachable things as saving the world?

　　The Times gave the Statue of Liberty a new “hat” that looks very much like the one worn by the police. But before Pomona could see clearly, Minerva had already placed the tea tray on it, which contained a steaming pot of black tea.

 “Don’t you have any wine here?” Pomona complained looking at the black tea in the cup.

“I think this is what you need now.” Minerva placed the black tea in front of Pomona and said, “Drink it.”

Pomona picked up the teacup and took a sip. The steaming tea made her feel a lot calmer.

"What scares you like that? Have you seen a Boggart?" Minerva asked.

 “I’m not scared.” Pomona frowned.

 “Then what happened to you just now?” Minerva asked.

"Severus blamed me, he said it was all my fault!" Pomona said again, "I made him..."

"I don't want to know the details of what happened. You just need to tell me what happened." Minerva interrupted her.

Pomona felt that Minerva was expressing one thing, but she still thought about it while holding the warm teacup.

“He was yelling at me like it was my fault that he messed up,” Pomona said.

"What's so strange about this? It's not the first day you've met him." Minerva took a sip of tea. "Last time I went to visit my nephews, their sons also started dating. There is a company called IKEA. Then They sell furniture.”

 “What does this have to do with Severus?” Pomona asked expressionlessly.

“They lived with their respective partners before they got married, and then went to IKEA to buy furniture. From arguing in the store to putting the furniture together when they got home, they always felt dissatisfied.” Minerva said.

"This is not what I was arguing with him about," Pomona said seriously. "The process of buying furniture went very smoothly for us."

 “You live together?” Minerva raised an eyebrow.

"No~" Pomona subconsciously raised her voice, then calmed down. "That's an office, and we are 'roommates.'"

"At least he lets you choose the furniture and arrange them as you like. You don't know how independent young people are today." Minerva took another sip of tea.

 “What happened to them in the end?” Pomona also took a sip of tea.

"When I was 18, I met a boy named Doug. My brothers saw me arguing with him, and they thought I could give their children some advice." Minerva said with a smile. "That boy later I also found my brothers.”

“Oh, I remember, Farmer Doug, right?” Pomona suddenly realized.

"It's not that I don't like him... the locals are too strict and rigid." Minerva lamented, "Doug is such a 'local'. He would rather inherit the farm than go to London with me."

“Do you think there is a difference between people in the ‘big city’ and people in your hometown?” Pomona asked with a sneer.

 “What do you think?” Minerva asked easily.

 Pomona thought about her experience in London during this time.

“It’s novel and impactful, but I still miss Hogwarts,” Pomona said.

"Me too, but what I miss is my hometown." Minerva said with some melancholy. "I thought Doug would never get married, but he still married a farmer's daughter. When I learned the news And cried a lot." Pomona looked at Minerva's face carefully, which was completely relieved, and then asked, "Do you think he will wait for you forever?"

"I was busy with my career at the time. Albus found me when I was crying in the classroom that day. Just like we are now, he told me about his family situation." Minerva raised her teacup. "Except for this .”

Pomona felt that she had not been inspired by Minerva's story, but she felt better.

"Like me, he focused too much on the 'dream' until he lost Arianna, so he ended his contact with Grindelwald and chose a new beginning. I didn't expect Elfin to come. The school came to me. When you choose the end of a relationship, a new beginning is not far away, and the new one may be better than the old one," Minerva said.

 “Isn’t that like the new and the old?” said Pomona.

"It seems we have found the key to the problem." Minerva said calmly. "You don't want to end your last relationship, do you?"

“I didn’t have a previous relationship, so how could I end it?” Pomona said breathlessly, taking a sip of black tea to calm down.

 “Where did you buy the furniture?” said Minerva.

 “The used furniture market,” Pomona said.

 “No wonder,” Minerva said lightly.

"It's a temporary apartment. Severus will go back to school after the holidays. I don't want to invest too much money in this area." Pomona said.

 “Where is his old house?” said Minerva.

“He set up a maze where the murderous maniac can chase his victims inside.” Pomona said expressionlessly.

"You said that people like him like to immerse themselves in the past. Now that he has left his old house, isn't it a new beginning for him?" Minerva said, "You were not in control of the change when it happened. .”

Pomona was astonished.

"Whether it's Doug getting married, or Albus losing his sister, so how about trying to accept that change?" Minerva said.

 She felt distraught.

"Severus is a young man. Young people are always impulsive and impatient. Will he face jail time for the trouble he caused this time?" Minerva asked.

 “No, they just told him to wait for notification.” Pomona said.

"Elphin proposed to me several times, but I rejected him every time. When we got married, he had already retired." Minerva flatly said, "I am not always young and beautiful like you."

 “At least Elfin really loves you.” Pomona said flatly.

"He just experienced a small setback. Didn't you tell me that you want the 'ugly duckling' to go through more hardships?" Minerva said sarcastically.

Pomona felt that this was a dangerous topic. Although Minerva knew Harry Potter's address, if she knew that Pomona would cast a shielding spell on Dursley's house and intercept all the birthday messages sent to Harry from the wizarding world. Gift, how angry would she be?

 She didn't want to face the roar of the lioness, she was already unlucky enough tonight.

 “Thank you for the tea,” Pomona said, standing up.

"You are the Head of House now, Professor Sprout." Minerva said calmly. "I hope I don't see you so out of control next time."

Pomona didn’t say “no.”

"Next time you need me, I'll be there," Pomona said.

Nor did Minerva say "that moment will never come."

 “Good night,” said Minerva.

"Good night," Pomona said, and left Minerva's office.

Minerva's desk is next to the window. When she looks up, she can see the Quidditch pitch where the new students practice. In fact, as vice-principal she could use a better office, such as the one left by Professor Dorothy.

 “Another Quidditch nerd.” Pomona said with a smile after closing the door and walking towards his office.
