We are like a group of lost lambs, each going his own way.

— Isaiah

After buying ingredients from the local market, Pomona is ready to go home and cook for herself.

Her wallet was robbed inhumanely last night and at noon today, so she should save money from now on.

Besides, she also wants to try seafood. The baked scallop with cheese she saw in the restaurant today looks very good.

However, when she got home, she found two strangers coming out of her house, and she quickly hid in a corner.

The two were dressed "vintagely" and they walked out the door and looked back before disapparating.

Pomona quickly realized that the other party was a wizard, and she quickly became nervous when reminded of someone's identity as a Death Eater.

She put down the food, took out her wand, and woke up the sleeping cockroaches.

A fifty-foot snake would be a great help in a pinch.

She cast a Silence on herself, and put the Invisibility Cloak back on after using the Disillusionment Charm.

"You want to go in through the gate?" Voldemort asked her.

"Where can I get in without going through the gate?" She said angrily, "This is my own home."

"Why be so sneaky if it's your own home?" Voldemort asked.

"Then what do you say?"

"If Severus is not the opponent of those people, you will be arrested if you go in. Do you remember how you summoned him?"

"It's so close, it's necessary... oh." Pomona understood halfway through speaking.

It was a wonder Voldemort hadn't scolded her.

So she took out the summoning ring, cast a spell on it, and after a while Severus' greasy head on the second floor poked out the window and looked around.

"What are you doing?" he shouted into the air impatiently.

"is everything okay?"

"I'll tell you when I get back." Then he disappeared from the window.

Pomona shrugged inexplicably, picked up the ingredients she bought, and returned home.

When she got to the second floor, she found that the tent had already been packed, and the room was empty, with only the old bat sitting on the furniture, which they "looted" from the antique shop, and what was even weirder was his There is actually a copy of today's Daily Prophet in his hand.

"what's the situation?"

"We're leaving Venice tonight, and this house is not ours now." Severus said calmly, reading the newspaper.

"What!?" she screamed.

"Did you see the people who went out just now? They are from the Italian Ministry of Magic. Venice belongs to the area controlled by the church, and wizards cannot settle down here."

She opened her mouth wide.

"We were deported?"

She thought for a long time before saying.

"No, we can continue to travel in Italy, but we can't buy houses in areas controlled by the Church." Severus put down the newspaper. "Is what I said so difficult?"

"What the hell happened?"

"The national conditions in Italy are very different from those in the UK. If something strange happens to a child, the parents will immediately notify the priest. Beauxbatons will accept wizards from several countries. The combined population of these countries is much larger than that of the UK. , but the number of students is not much more than that of Hogwarts, have you ever thought about why?"

"The church competes with the magic school for students?" Pomona's eyes widened in surprise.

"It's not the Middle Ages now, they are also cultivating their own talents." Severus stood up, and threw the chair he was sitting on into the painting box with a levitating spell. "In order to avoid conflicts, wizards and priests have After signing the agreement, they can establish their own villages, and they can also mix with Muggles in certain areas. Children with magical talents in those places will go to magic schools, and in areas controlled by the church, they will go to church schools. Venice belongs to the church. Land, we can travel here, but we can't settle down, do you understand now?"

"Merlin's beard," she murmured. "No wonder I don't see a single wizard here."

"Padua is the territory of wizards, we can buy a house there." Severus pulled up the painting box, looking like he was going to leave. "They refunded our money for buying the house."

"Have you seen the money?" She asked impatiently.

"Of course, do you think I'm as stupid as you?" He said with a weird smile. "We can't Apparate with magical animals. Shall we take the train or ride it to Durin?"

Pomona looked at the pile of cockroaches. The bird and snake looked at her with big eyes, not knowing if they understood.

"It was only two months old..."

Pomona also couldn't figure out how old a bird and snake in this age group was equivalent to a human being.

Although it is illegal to use child labor, the old bat is well known for letting students work for him in the name of being closed.

"So, we're going to take the train." Severus said slickly, "Then let's go to the train station now."

"etc……"

"If you want to say goodbye to those people, you don't have to, they will forget you soon." Severus said with a stiff face, "What we have done in the past few days has violated the International Statute of Secrecy, wait a minute People from the Italian Ministry of Magic will erase their memories, and they'll pretend we didn't show up."

An indescribable melancholy made Pomona frown.

There are bad Muggles and good Muggles in this world. Monica, Alessandro, and Gianluca are all pretty good people.

"They are all passers-by in our lives, and I will accompany you through all the journeys." Severus stared at her and said, "The more time we spend with other people, the less time we spend together, Did you forget what we were like when we first came back?"

At that time, it was very difficult to separate, after all, there were only the two of them when they lived in seclusion.

"I don't like people taking your attention away. You are good to everyone, but I want to be the most special one." He whispered "Cedric Diggory, Sirius Black, One after another, there will always be handsome men appearing beside you, I know I don't need to be as knowledgeable as a child, but as soon as I see him pretending in front of you..."

"I taught him to keep smiling," Pomona said. "That's how you get along with people."

Severus suddenly laughed.

"You know he's a man, don't you?"

"Of course!" She frowned in confusion. "What's wrong?"

"I told you, don't teach Hufflepuff's students, especially male students, Nietzsche's way, you will teach a bunch of hypocrites wearing harmless masks. Fortunately, Cedric has a good essence. He is just Great honor." Severus paused, as if to give her time to digest what he had just said.

"You mean... oh!!" she screamed angrily.

"He learned black magic very quickly, in order to deal with the dragon, but he is still better at transfiguration. Your male unicorn has the potential to become a dark wizard, and you taught it. Did you tell him, win Then talk about morality and immorality?"

Pomona could not answer him.

"I already knew you were an evil witch." Severus said in a somewhat flirtatious tone, "You told me that patience is for revenge. Do you know what an ordinary woman would do in this situation? Either like Like Lily, she defended me by herself, or like Sissy, she used the power of the family to kill the beast that hurt her son, but you asked me to take revenge myself."

"You're not my son," Pomona said through gritted teeth, "and I don't think James and Sirius are animals."

Severus sneered, put his arms around her shoulders, and led her semi-forcefully out of the house that had only belonged to them for a few days.

At this time, traces of the magic circle had been left on the ground and walls, and the next person who visited the house didn't know how to be frightened when they saw these.

But who cares, maybe he thought it was a prank, and it would be fine to cover it with cement.
