Chapter 1921 Under the Lion’s Claw (3)

The British Ministry of Magic once "sold" the European Ministry of Magic to ban dueling.

Of course, no one paid attention to them. The reform of the French Ministry of Magic was also based on the same reason. Compared with the British method of controlling magical animals for the sake of hiding, French wizards prefer to "hunt" and "hunt" any race that is disobedient until they submit.

Or until they were eliminated, at the end of the 19th century the Wizards' Federation had to send a dragon-slaying team to reduce the number of Peruvian Venomtooth dragons, the main members of which were French wizards.

The first person to establish a fire dragon sanctuary in Romania was a Breton. At that time, French wizards drew dragon blood and sold dragon skins and dragon meat. The business was very prosperous and was an important income for the French Ministry of Magic. They defeated this area.

The benefits belong to Britain.

Being a dragon tamer is quite cool, and the positions are also divided into high and low positions. The Wizengamot is the predecessor of the British Wizarding Council. It is not accurate to say that it is a representative system. After all, Umbridge can also sneak in. The French Grand Council is almost

They are all pure blood. Even the purpose of the existence of the Ministry of Magic is not to protect the International Secrecy Law. There is a room in the French Ministry of Magic with many wooden boxes in which are stored the genealogies of pure-blood families. Those who are qualified to publish the genealogy

Only those placed inside can become members of the Grand Council.

When an ancient family died out, or had no heirs for the time being, the genealogy would be placed in the Grand Council. However, as the old families died one by one, the seats became vacant, and Blanchard Tremblay moved these seats to

They were sold to those rich non-pure-bloods, or to pure-blood families that were not old enough, but sitting in the same place did not allow them to integrate.

Even if they were reduced to the point where they had to sell medicine to support their families, the wizards of the Grand Council were also nobles. Dissatisfaction was growing, and then Grindelwald appeared and gave a famous speech in the Lestrange family cemetery. It was a very important speech.

A memorable place.

According to Montesquieu's separation of powers, the administrative agency only has the power to approve. If the administrative agency has decision-making power, the administrative agency becomes a legislative agency.

All members of the legislative body must be present. There are supporters of Grindelwald and opponents in the Grand Council. These people did not participate in the rally, and they did not participate in the action of "preventing Muggles from destroying the world."

Napoleon hated the secret police, and Susanna always said that she would call the police. In Bonaparte's eyes, the British Aurors were similar to the secret police. To maintain order in the French wizarding world, each family usually volunteered to provide help. That was the obligation of the nobility, and daily affairs were not

The wizard who is mixed up in the French police system will be responsible. After the investigation is completed, it will be reported to the Grand Council.

Almost none of the property confiscated before the Revolution will be returned to the exiles. If they insist on asking for it, they will cause disputes with the current owners. In order to save trouble, the exiles set their sights on the land of Saint-Germain-des-Prés. Napoleon willed the exiles

They were placed there, and at least everyone had a house to live in.

While they hate the secret police, they also send people to conduct secret surveillance. These people are often outsiders who are employed or receive government salaries.

After Napoleon was imprisoned, these people were finally evacuated. After the war with Grindelwald was over, new imprisonment came again. At this time, the leader of the International Federation of Wizards had been replaced by Dumbledore. After that

After a war, the French Ministry of Magic almost existed in name only, and no one in the Grand Council left. However, Dumbledore did not transplant the British Ministry of Magic to France.

If it were a Muggle world, there would be no government. The problem is that there are few wizards. As long as there are no large-scale magic exposure activities, no one will care about what they do in private.

In other words, Dumbledore controlled the wizards in the defeated areas through the Wizards' Union. After so many years of defeat, other countries did nothing. Britain was also busy with civil war because of Voldemort, and the entire wizarding world seemed to have stagnated.

This is not surprising. You only need to look at how many Aurors Dumbledore produced when he was the principal to know the quality of teaching at Hogwarts and what the wizarding world under his rule was like.

The Giant War was so many years ago that it is still taught in history classes at Hogwarts, but there is no course on witch hunting at all. And his "favorite" Arthur Weasley also has a strong interest in hemp.

He is full of good impressions, and a pure-blood traitor is not a good husband or father in the eyes of a pure-blood noble.

Dumbledore has no control over heaven and earth and cannot control which school parents send their children to study. Instead of sending them to Durmstrang, a dark magic civilization, or to a Russian magic school, Dumbledore gave up his interest in French education.

The control of the institution, even if a mixed-race giant is the principal, is not unacceptable.

The strange thing is that French wizards rarely hunt "beasts" like Veela. They regard them as beautiful girls who enjoy the feeling of being surrounded by people and being cared for. Then there are people like Fleur Delacour.

A "self-centered" half-breed Veela, she didn't even care about Molly's feelings and focused on her wedding to Bill.

Later, Bill was disfigured by a werewolf, but she didn't leave him. All in all, she didn't care what others thought. She loved Bill and didn't care about anything else. It didn't matter if they lived in a hut on the beach, and they could still enjoy their time together.

Love is a necessity for some people, even if it is bought with a love drug.

It is not a once-and-for-all, you need to drink it continuously, and some of the ingredients may be toxic. For the sake of the other person's health, you have to stop taking the medicine, but once you stop taking the medicine, you will regain your consciousness, and the false love will no longer exist.

Maybe it's true that love potions bring curses, and that's how Voldemort was born, but isn't this fate?

There are several versions of Napoleon's will. The text submitted by Britain in the mid-19th century is preserved in the French National Archives. However, the content in the draft is different from the official version.

The draft read: I died prematurely due to the British oligarchy and hired executioners, and the French people will avenge me sooner or later.

The official version reads: My son should not only think about revenge for my death. He should use this opportunity to make a difference and do his best to achieve peaceful governance. May my son sprout from the seeds I sow.

, so that everything in the land of France can prosper and develop. My son should be a man with new ideas and enterprising spirit, inherit and carry forward the brilliant achievements I have made, renew people's minds with laws, and establish new political institutions everywhere.

, eliminate feudal remnants, ensure dignity, promote economic prosperity, and unify Europe in the form of a stable federation...

"The official version is definitely fake." Susanna said.

"Why?" Severus asked.

"He will not accept the federal form." Susanna said coldly, "He wants everyone to listen to his arrangements, including Jérôme's marriage. He and Miss Patterson were in love, but he broke them up. Moreover,

He felt that his family had harmed his reputation, and if he had not found anyone he could trust, he would not have given the occupied land to his brothers."

Severus didn't answer.

"It is a pity that his noble bloodline did not continue. Instead, it was inherited by Jerome's descendants. He was a cold-blooded, ruthless, proud and suspicious monarch. He did not like us, and we did not like him. Speaking of wills, Dumbledore

Lido also left a copy, is there anything interesting that has not been made public?"

"What do you mean?"

"Does he have an illegitimate child or something?" Susanna asked enthusiastically.

Severus waved to the waiter and ordered a cup of coffee.

"There are some secrets, but they are different from what you think." Severus curled the corners of his mouth and smiled mysteriously.

"What is it?" Susanna asked with bright eyes.

"Have you heard the story of the three brothers and the bridge?" Severus said in a long tone. "One day, the three brothers planned to cross a river. The river was very fast, so they built a bridge. However,

grim Reaper……"

"I've heard of it." Susanna interrupted him uninterested, "What's the point?"

"Do you believe in the Deathly Hallows?" Severus asked.

"I have heard." Susanna said seriously, "The Elder Wand is in Grindelwald's hand."

"After the failure of the duel, the Elder Wand belonged to Dumbledore, and the Dark Lord also used that wand during the decisive battle at Hogwarts, but its ownership was not inherited through a will." Severus said.

"I remember you were not the executor of the will, Stringer was," Susanna said.

"He left something for me," Severus said.

"What is it?" Susanna asked.

"His treasure." Then the coffee he ordered came.

"What is his treasure?" Susanna asked a little anxiously.

"What your ancestors and I are fighting for now." After the waiter left, Severus picked up the black coffee and took a sip. It was sour and bitter, not good for a child at all.

"He is dead." Susanna said in confusion, "Why do you make it sound like he is still alive?"

"You are not a direct line, there are some secrets that you should not know." Severus said indifferently, "Be a happy girl, your parents want you to be like this too."

Susanna stared at him.

"When I was a child, one day I heard the adults talking in the living room about another world, a world made up of the dead or people who had been missing for a long time," Susanna said. "I thought it was ridiculous. I thought

I was so sleepy that I saw them dressed in black robes, with chains around their necks, holding candles in their hands, lining up across the fields."

"Have you seen them perform sacrifices?" Severus asked.

"I told you, I thought I was dreaming." Susanna said impatiently, "I don't believe that anyone can really communicate with the world after death. Psychics just swindle money from desperate people."

"They say it's a world ruled by Venus," Severus said. "A world filled with the undead."

"Are you kidding me?"

Severus looked at her seriously.

"Not Hades?" Susanna said.

"I think he is more like a manager, like a king."

"And Napoleon I is that king?" Susanna asked with a funny smile.

"No." Severus sighed calmly, "He is just a prisoner."
