Harry Potter’s Morning Light

   Chapter 2577 Cheese Trap (thirteen)

   "Ah~~~~~~~~~~~~"

   After a scream, Neville fell to the soft grass.

   Pomona saw his horrific landing posture, and thought that even if she had the door key, she would have to worry about his life, but she soon found that she was worrying in vain.

   Neville staggered to his feet, and then fell to the ground in a daze.

   She couldn't help shaking her head, helped Neville up, who had lost her keys, and walked towards Scamander's house.

   At this time, the house can no longer be seen, but the guardian of this house is not the Faithful Charm. When it is clear that there is a house in this place, striding forward, you can see a different scenery through the protective magic, and the Scamander family is as usual.

   She went to the door and knocked on the door. It didn't take long for the door to be opened, but it wasn't Tina who opened the door.

   "What's wrong with him?" Newt asked, staring at Neville.

   "Falled out, can we come in?" Pomona asked.

  Newt let the two of them in, and Pomona put Neville on a chair in the living room.

   "What's wrong with him?" asked Tina, who was making breakfast, holding a teapot.

   "Falled out." Newt said, "What are you doing here today?"

   "I'll tell you when he's awake." Pomona said to Newt. "It's his summer homework."

  Newt shrugged and looked at Tina "I'll go downstairs."

   "Oh, yes, one more thing." Pomona said, "Albus told me your brother has a nice tie, do you know what that means?"

   Newt, who was going to go downstairs, stopped.

   "I've made the tea, do you want to drink it?" Tina said.

   "No, I…"

   But before Pomona could finish speaking, Tina had already dragged her out of the living room.

   "Don't mention his brother," Tina said to Pomona when she was out of sight of Newt.

   "Are they in a bad relationship?" Pomona asked.

   "No." Tina flatly denied.

   "Then why not mention him?" asked Pomona.

   "What did you ask that tie for?" Tina asked.

   "I don't even know what that tie is." Pomona said excitedly.

  Tina looked at Pomona for a while, then said, "That's a portkey, take it back to Hogwarts."

  Pomona was about to say that it was a good thing, that Neville could take it back to Hogwarts, but he fainted again with the key...

   "This was a gift from Dumbledore to Theseus, before they took the Great Magic Express to Berlin," Tina added.

  Pomona remembered that in addition to the Hogwarts Express, King's Cross Station also has such an international train, which is said to be very luxurious.

   Of course, the gift that is given to others will not be taken back and passed on to others, so what is Albusti's tie for?

   "When they were in Berlin, Theseus was the head of the Auror's office. He was imprisoned in El Fort, and there was a manticore in there. Anyway, they were able to come back alive because of the tie." Tina explained.

   "Scamander's brother is an Auror?" Pomona exclaimed. "And also the head of the Auror's office?"

   "You don't know?" Tina asked.

   "No!" Pomona shook his head. "I only know that Scamander is a celebrity in Hufflepuff because he wrote Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find It."

  Tina sighed and softened her voice, "What are you doing today?"

   Pomona wanted to come and get the snake and turtle, but that was Neville's "homework" and she was just here to make sure he was safe.

   "I think...I should go." Pomona said, "I'll take Wei back in the evening, or you can send him back."

   "Come here." Tina said, "I've made my tea, drink a cup and go."

   So Pomona followed Tina into the kitchen.

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

   "Please take a seat." Art von Lesterwitz opened a chair for Georgiana.

   But she wasn't going to sit down.

   "I don't like being threatened." She said indifferently, "Do you think if you do this, I will help you?"

   "If your thing is not that important, there is no need to come here." Art said "please."

  Georgianna stroked the fire opal ring with her thumb and sat down on the chair that Altra opened.

  The seat of the armchair is stuffed with a lot of soft padding, and it feels real no matter what.

   Arte sat down to her right.

   "Please tell me what to do." Art begged earnestly, "No matter what conditions you ask, we will agree."

   "Cede Silesia, are you willing?" Georgiana sneered.

   But just before Art believed it was true, she said, "We all know that the real problem is not Hamburg. Now that the world is at peace, the reason for the establishment of the Armed Neutrality Alliance has disappeared. Why are you still recruiting new members?"

   "I can't answer your question, my task is to convey your words to important people." Art said.

   "Who? The foreign minister of Prussia?"

   "I still have nothing to say," said Art.

   "You can't answer my question, but you ask me for an answer. You can agree to whatever conditions you call it?"

   "Any conditions, as long as you don't keep asking questions." Art said patiently.

  Georgianna didn't want to talk to him, looking out the window, the snow was still fluttering.

   In fact, snow is frozen water, and glass is also a reflective surface no matter how transparent it is. The question is how to penetrate into the "mirror world".

  At first they all thought Phoebe was trapped behind a transparent wall, the paintings in the Muggle Museum had glass to protect the paintings.

  Across the glass, no matter how close the visitor is to the oil painting, it cannot be touched.

   Credence and Albus are leaving the German Ministry of Magic to meet in the Muggle community, where there is no magic mirror.

  At that time Berlin had become the capital of Germany, and now Berlin still belongs to Prussia…

"The reason why we established the Alliance of Armed Neutrality is also related to England." Alter said, "If it wasn't for the English navy who often came on board and searched, even if it was peaceful now, they would have found new reasons, such as searching merchant ships for slave trade. ."

"You're not a very good negotiator," said Georgiana. "What do you think of that? Suspension of bankers in your country from continuing their business with the slave trade, and the fact that Hamburg will have been involved in paying the allies' military expenses. Bankers evict."

  Art stared at her face, as if to see through the mask that didn't exist on her face.

   "Hamburg can continue to finance business and international settlements, just like he is now just a business city, then only do business-related things." Georgiana said.

   "Anything else?" asked Art.

   “Return the exiles in your country as soon as possible, or no longer provide them with protection.”

   "Is it okay to collect money like the UK?" Arter asked.

   "No." Georgiana shook her head.

   "Why can the UK and we can't?" asked Art.

   "Because we have the English Channel, you don't..."

   She was stunned when she said this.

  The British-French Undersea Tunnel was completed in 1994. Although this tunnel was only built for 10 years, it took 200 years to finally decide to build it. The British military hopes to use the strait as a natural barrier against continental Europe.

   But with the rapid development of missiles, it is not so important to have a strait, not to mention that with the changes in the international situation, these concerns have been lifted.

   However, in Newt's time, the underwater tunnel had not been built. How did the Great Magic Express cross the strait to reach the European continent?

   She laughed at the thought of this "interesting" question, and judging from the expression on Art's face, it was obvious that he had misinterpreted it.

But she was too lazy to explain that when she was "chasing" in the wizarding world, she heard that the first idea of ​​building an underwater tunnel originated from Napoleon I. At that time, her impression of this historical figure was still that of a man riding a tall horse and wearing court clothes over the Alps. image.

   Is he really short? You wouldn't be able to tell from a horse anyway, unless he got off the horse, like the active person in the wizard's portrait.
