Chapter 1152 The Story of Paris (5)

For fairies, the immortality effect brought by the magic stone is not uncommon at all, because their lifespan is longer than that of humans.

As for the legendary ability to turn base metals into gold, they are not interested until the "ownership" has been agreed upon with humans.

Even if the goblins knew that the Philosopher's Stone was in Gringotts, they would not be greedy for it like humans. It was just one of the many "items" stored underground.

But they also have something they want, and that is the Sword of Gryffindor made by the Goblin King, which is absolutely impossible for humans to hand over.

After experiencing hunting in the 15th century, the giants had another internal strife in the 19th century, which also led to the end of extinction due to cannibalism.

Internal fighting and civil war are the most draining of strength, but some people are just happy with it. Anyway, they will definitely not take action until they can tell who listens to whom.

"I heard from Scamander that there is a water dragon underground in Paris. Do you think it is still alive?"

Pomona asked on the street after leaving Nick Flamel's house.

"That's great, there is actually a water dragon!" Severus said with a smile.

"It's not as bad as you think." Pomona said comfortingly, "Water dragons just like to live in moist places and don't spit fire like fire dragons."

"But they are fast, energetic, and nervous. They have not caused any disasters for so many years, and they will not do so in the future." Severus said optimistically.

This is really a rare sight in a century, she thought...

Pomona touched her rumbling stomach. The aroma wafting from the restaurant next door made her feel hungry. It felt so bad to smell such a fragrant smell but not be able to eat.

At this time, the sky had darkened, the Eiffel Tower in the distance was lit up, and Paris at night began to become romantic again.

"Let's go find a place to eat. I'm hungry."

"How about next door?" Severus smiled maliciously.

Pomona shook her head at him, took his arm and disapparated.

Because she was not familiar with the topography of Paris, she chose the square, and because she wanted to eat authentic French food, she came to the Place des Vosges.

There is a Michelin three-star restaurant, L’ambroisie, which has been open for more than 100 years next to the square. It is said to be the best restaurant in France. It is impossible to book a table.

Pomona's purpose was not to dine in a splendid restaurant. After putting on an invisibility cloak and stealing all the food she could eat from the kitchens of the gods, she sneaked into No. 6 Place des Vosges.

Victor Hugo's former residence.

It was already closed at six o'clock. Anyway, she just wanted to find an indoor place to eat.

Victor Hugo was a fan of China, and you can see oriental ornaments everywhere. Pomona put red wine lobster, onion caramel, strawberry sweet soup, grilled lamb chops, and vanilla ice cream on his table

, I stretched out my legs as if I had returned to my own home and ate French food without any etiquette.

Severus didn't say anything to her. He just listened to the light from the window and quietly ate fried veal with asparagus in the dark mansion.

"I understand why Grindelwald wanted to destroy Paris." Pomona said after taking a bite of buttered bread. "I hate this place. Every inch of land here is full of conspiracy and intrigue."

"Why did you choose this place?" Severus asked.

"Guess." she asked with a smile.

He smiled and shook his head.

"The Place des Vosges is the first public space in Paris, so it is the place where many nobles fight with swords."

Severus shook his head, "How come you are so different from ordinary women?"

"I don't think I can be the kind of 'sweetheart' that makes people's hearts tremble." Pomona said coldly, "The vice principal is not just one person."

"I have never heard from the White Wizard."

"I run the largest house in Hogwarts. Being the Headmaster is enough work." She sighed. "Now I know what Albus is busy with in the Headmaster's office all day long."

"If Europe falls into turmoil, it is the President of the Wizards' Union who should worry about it." Severus said calmly, "We have enough troubles on our own."

"I was in that illusion." Pomona shook her head. "Maybe I can prevent this from happening."

"So you're going to stay in Paris?"

"At least I need to know what fuse lit the tinderbox. Maybe I can put out the fuse like a pissing boy."

Severus sneered "You want to save the world as much as the White Wizard?"

"No, I just don't want to escape my fate. We have been living in seclusion for six years and have rested for such a long time. It's time..."

"I don't want to take on a mission." Severus stared at her and said, "If it weren't for the unbreakable oath..."

"The Dark Lord will not let you go," Pomona said. "Snape, a double agent who fights for love, is a great legend. The more attention you receive, the angrier he becomes."

"Don't ruin dinner." Severus lowered his head and ate the veal with his fork.

"I want to go back to Hogwarts." Pomona said flatly, "I want Dumbledore to come back and continue to protect us."

"I don't think he wants to," Severus said gloomily. "He's too tired and wants to rest."

"Next month it will be announced who will be the 'Philosopher King'. Who do you think it will be?" Pomona asked.

"I think it's time to let the younger generation come out to work." Severus did not intend to change the subject. "We have finished everything, what are the young people doing?"

"Harry definitely can't do it. Who do you want to handle this matter? Draco?" Pomona smiled and took a sip of strawberry sweet soup.

"How are your students? Look how screwed up they can be."

Pomona didn't rush to deny his teasing.

"How is Justin?" Pomona asked. "I believe he knows a lot about France from his grandfather."

"What about the French Ministry of Magic?" Severus asked after thinking for a while.

"It's summer vacation for school. He can go to France to spend the summer vacation. He can even be a short-term exchange student. Anyway, the accident will only happen in the autumn of next year at the latest."

"Just him?"

"I don't know, maybe we can find a French person to help."

"who?"

"Mrs. Maximian, or Fleur, let him handle this himself." Pomona said extremely depressed, "We will go underground to explore the secrets later."

"You mean, sewers?" Severus frowned.

"No, I'm talking about the catacombs. The French resistance organization can use the catacombs as a secret base, and so can other organizations. Let's go and see how weird Paris is."

"Can't you be cute? I feel like I'm having dinner with a man."

"I hope so too, but a weak girl can't handle this." Pomona said sadly, "I don't even remember how to be an ordinary woman."

Severus stared at her for a moment, then stood up and walked to her.

"Can you dance with me?" He reached out to her.

"There's no music here," Pomona said.

"You brought the music box I gave you?"

"I left it at the manor."

"That doesn't matter, we all know what the tune of that song is." He smiled and said, "Now that the music is there, what reason do you have to refuse me?"

"I think I can't find a reason." Pomona put her hand on his palm, and the two danced silently and slowly at Hugo's house.

"Do you think Hugo will think that we have offended him?" she asked softly while dancing.

"There is a supreme gift, which is sometimes not revealed. It is more powerful because it is hidden. This gift is respect." Severus said softly, "I believe Hugo will forgive us."

Pomona had some realization, but she still didn't understand. Is what they did considered respectful?

While slowly rotating, Pomona saw a brightly lit room for a moment, with many people holding wine glasses and smiling at her, but when she turned her head, she found that those people were gone.

The bright light just now came from a passing car, as if it was just her imagination.

l'ambrosisie means the place where the gods held banquets in the Greek divine kingdom, with endless food and endless wine.

The Place des Vosges used to be the Royal Square, but later it was surrounded by mansions. Stories of love, hate, and hatred were staged in these houses. The key is that it is very hidden. It is not easy to be found in a residential area. It is really a place for duels.
