Harry Potter Morning Light

Chapter 1638 frog & fog (26)

How should an interesting legend end?

It depends on whether the wanderer can see the light of the lighthouse through the fog,
Or hear cries in the mist.

A white unicorn emerged from the mist, with its beautiful head held high,
It runs lightly, nimbly and silently,

Shaking mane and horn, and neighing melodiously,

It's like a dream.

================================================== ===========
"Snape, look!"

Just as Severus and Draco were packing, Gonseil suddenly called out.

"What did you find again?"

"I found it in my grandfather's notebook." Gonseil handed a yellowed book to Severus. "Maitre Pierre, do you know what this means?"

Severus kept his eyes on the notebook.

"What do you mean?" Draco asked confused.

"The name refers to the Philosopher's Stone in alchemists." Gonseil said to Draco, "Gray symbolizes the fifth element, and it is also an important part of the alchemy process. Gaining knowledge, the one in front of Notre Dame de Paris The sculpture is called Mr. Gray by the Parisians, but it was not an isolated sculpture at first, but in a fountain with a series of Latin inscriptions in the fountain, which my grandfather wrote down..."

"Come closer, remaker, if my water is not enough, go to the temple, and the goddess you summon will prepare the water of eternal life for you." Severus said, reading from his notebook.

"Do you remember your other dagger?" Gonseil said happily, "His poems always mention the moon. If that dagger is really used to sacrifice the flood of the Nile, you just need to find Mr. Gray's." Sculptures, temples, and fountains, and the goddess you summon will provide you with enough water, and then you can go on a boat."

"What poem?" Draco asked.

"And what about the Canal Saint-Martin and the mummies under the July Columns?" Severus asked coldly.

"I don't know about this, oh, wait, we found the sculpture of Mr. Gray, do you remember? It's in the cemetery of the Lestrange family." Gonseil said excitedly, "We can ask That ghost, thanks to him we found a lot of clues."

"After you pack it up, go over there first." Severus returned the notebook to Goncey, "I'll go to the Lestrange family cemetery to find you after I finish here."

"Okay, boss." Gong Saiyi took away the materials and left the main house.

Severus went into the fireplace first, grabbed a handful of Floo powder, then called out "Saas Fee", and with a flash of green flames, he appeared in a small log cabin.

Saas-Fee is a village in Valais, Switzerland. It is known as the pearl of the Alps and is a world-famous resort. Lucius Malfoy has a log cabin here, which is surrounded by snow-capped mountains and can be seen from the window of the log cabin. arrive.

In this global climate warming, when the summer becomes extremely hot, it is quite cool to see the snow-capped mountains and glaciers that do not melt all the year round. As soon as Severus looked out the window, Draco walked out of the fireplace .

"I will cast the Loyalty Charm here, the next defense will be arranged by you and Astonia, and Fiona will go shopping..."

"Understood, Godfather." Draco said impatiently.

"Be careful." Severus warned in a low voice, "Our opponents are not idiots. So far I have been led by the nose. Although I can't tell the reason, our previous residence is not safe, so we Forced to move, the family will depend on you after I leave, don't screw up like James Potter, understand?"

Draco nodded gravely.

"I want you to pay attention, if you don't want to end up with the Potters."

"Understood, Godfather." Draco repeated again, this time in a much more serious tone.

"Clean up here." Severus said, looking at the cabin that had been vacant for a long time. "We don't know how long we're going to live here."

The pampered and pampered Master Malfoy started cleaning the snowy mountain cabin with his magic wand just like a house elf.

Saas-Fee is very clean. It is as inaccessible to cars as the Godric Valley, so there is almost no dust. It is surrounded by mountains on three sides, making it difficult for outsiders to enter. It is a great hermitage.

For short, this is a rural area with nothing. People who are used to city life may not be able to bear it after two days, but rich people like to buy real estate here.

The pure white snow mountain is so spotless, it looks holy in the sun.

Severus took one last look at the scenery outside the window before drawing the curtains.

Not long after, the small wooden house in the snow mountain disappeared, but it did not cause any panic in this sparsely populated mountain village, as if the people living here had gotten used to it.

====================================================================== =============
"I don't like the sculpture on the bow." Georgiana looked back at Pierre Lemachan, the president of the Rouen Chamber of Commerce, and said, "How about replacing it with a unicorn?"

"Unicorn?" Le Marchand asked strangely.

"I like unicorns." Georgiana said with a mysterious smile, then looked up at the cruise ship.

Just ask every Scot, who hates unicorns?

Then, surrounded by everyone, she walked up the boarding steps to the boat.

"Georgiana!" greeted Lord Henry Petty warmly, upon seeing her.

Her fellow Brits were on board, including a few Royal Marines.

Her eyesight is good, and she can see several ships sailing in the sea outside the port of Rouen from a distance, which looks very much like a warship.

Napoleon was the kind of person who could make the whole of Europe ready for war by propping up his gray uniform with wooden sticks, not to mention that he was in a military parade now, what if he suddenly let those soldiers board the ship?
"Henry." Georgiana greeted him with a smirk.

Then the lord who had not yet inherited the title of Marquis began to introduce the representatives of the British side, and Georgiana inexplicably remembered the scene of signing the contract on the warship.

At this time, if there is a camera, maybe it will leave a historical picture. What can she say other than "Wow".

The ship that Napoleon gave her was set up as the scene of the welcome party. After all the dignitaries boarded the ship, the sailors lowered the sails and they were going to take a circle in the open sea.

It was at this time that the main event came. Le Marchant took a particularly delicate wooden box and opened it in front of everyone. On the black velvet was a platinum diamond and pearl necklace. The platinum necklace was shaped like a leaf. , the pearl in the middle is very big, and it is worth a lot of money at first glance, but Georgiana never believes that it is the one that Cleopatra and Antony made a bet that did not dissolve with vinegar.

The diamond reflected the sunlight on the sea surface, changing into a thousand colors, and scattered in all directions with majestic momentum, which made all the surrounding female relatives exclaim.

Le Marchand then began to talk about the story related to Cleopatra, and also praised Georgiana's beauty with pearls and Cupid.

This should have been prepared by him a long time ago, and it was done in one go.

Napoleoni specifically mentioned this pearl the night before. The gift was so expensive that it could almost be understood as bribery, and it was up to Georgiana to decide whether to accept it or not.

In fact, Napoléoni also took in a lot of Arabian thoroughbred horses, and he still has a lot of expensive things. Has anyone accused the First Consul of taking bribes?
As soon as Le Marchant's words fell, Henry Petty asked someone to bring out a wooden box of about the same size. A gold necklace with the famous turquoise in Egypt.

"It's an imitation of the Irulian style jewelry design." Henry Petty explained to Georgiana like a jeweler. Jewelry, I hope it will complement your dress."

"Thank you." Georgiana took the jewelry box handed over by Henry Petty, and asked Alice to put away another jewelry box containing pearls.

In addition to the battlefield filled with gunpowder, Dou Fu is also a battlefield where gunpowder is invisible in social situations.

Grassini wearing all the jewelry on her body like that looks tacky, but who provided her?Who has so much money to support such a jeweled her?
It is not easy to be a spotless white lily in Vanity Fair. When Georgiana received the gift, Madame Du Barry's dying "wait a minute" was always echoing in her mind.

In front of so many people, she definitely couldn't refuse the gifts from both parties. A man's face is sometimes more important than their lives.

After receiving their things, you have to give them something back. This is the most basic social etiquette.

Fighting wealth to a certain level is to compare culture, whether you are really educated or not, anyway, if you show that others don't know, you will win by showing that the other party is ignorant.This has nothing to do with elegance, and it has nothing to do with character. In this kind of occasion, I am most afraid of being called "fake". If I buy a painting with a fake name and show it off in public, it will eventually be exposed in public. At that time, even friends will become enemies.

Be frugal at home and decent when you come out. This is Napoleon's style. Georgiana has to match him. It is impossible to carry two necklaces.

High-order clothes are expensive for a reason, both in terms of workmanship and materials.

On the contrary, ready-made clothing is the big head of harvesting "leeks".

Dressing in the upper class tends to be a bit outdated, people in this class wish they could stay in this class "forever", they don't like change.

You can never catch up with fashion. The idea of ​​the designer is in your mind. You can see how hard it is to earn money just by looking at the women gleaning in the wheat fields. Georgiana wouldn't want to wear the kind of bodysuit that could be used as a murder tool.

What kind of woman doesn't wear corsets?Prostitutes, the kind of lace underwear popularized by Georgiana in the 21st century is only popular among some special groups. Between breathing air and morality freely, she chooses to breathe freely, just thinking about the body that can strangle people She finds the tights with visceral displacement scary, let alone wearing them.

The upstarts who came from the common people were not as particular about the old nobles, not to mention that Napoleon was a soldier, but this did not mean that getting along with him would be easy.

You couldn't see what was going on behind his kind, well-bred, charming smile.

He gave her full freedom, but it also meant that she could only rely on herself in such a crisis-ridden situation.

Georgiana feels he is using her, a foolish, peace-hungry woman.

But she really hoped that he wouldn't be such a bad guy, so she automatically blocked the gossip about his relationship with Hortans and the child Hortans had.

It's fine with a 16-year-old underage girl. After all, Georgina doesn't look like she is only 16 years old, and this is the trend of this era.

Ortans is his stepdaughter, and Georgiana can't tolerate this kind of relationship between stepfather and stepdaughter. If it's true, then go fuck world peace, even if the world is destroyed, she will leave this person.

She wants to live in seclusion away from the world, that is not difficult for her, she still wants to go back to the small wooden house of the northern farmer.

At this moment, she understood who she loved more, but unfortunately it seemed a bit late, she would never be as good as the pure and great Lily.

And in front of her, it seems that there is no other way to go except sinking.
