Chapter 2712 The Land of Firebirds (20)

"You should really see the old slug's attitude towards Granger. He was so busy talking to the great Potter that he even spilled his wine on her." Zachary Smith was cutting locust beans and talking to the surroundings.

people said.

He wanted to get people to echo him, but no one paid attention to him. Even though there were enough and fresh materials, the members of the Potions Club still couldn't make the water of life and death as good as Harry Potter in Potions class. Everyone was confused.

Looking for what went wrong.

"If Granger doesn't think there is a problem, I don't think you need to meddle." Dean Thomas walked past him holding a pot of hellebores.

"What's your problem?" Zacharis stopped chopping locust beans.

Dean was not aggressive enough to have a direct conflict with Zacharis. He just glanced at Zacharis and moved the hellebore to the corner of the greenhouse.

Perhaps because he felt that Dean was frightened by his own momentum, Zacharias did not continue to provoke him and turned around to continue chopping locust beans.

"Is it okay like this? Professor." Dean Thomas asked.

"Okay, that'll do it," Pomona said cheerfully to Dean, poking his head behind the belladonna bush.

The dean of each house has his own style. Minerva rarely went to the lounge, except for the incident in the secret room. She felt that the children should be given enough privacy.

Pomona was not curious about what the children were talking about in private. The snowfall the day before yesterday was short-lived. The climate began to warm up, the snow began to melt, and the green turf appeared again. The topic caused by Katie only lasted for one day.

A new question arose, since she was in hospital, Gryffin lost a Chaser, who would replace her?

"What are you looking at?" Dean also followed Pomona's example and poked his head around.

"Are you done with your work?" Pomona turned to look at him impatiently.

"I just asked you, 'Is this okay?' Professor," Dean said nonchalantly, "and your answer was, 'Okay.'"

Pomona really couldn't see what Ginny Weasley saw in him. Oh, they had gone to the point of kissing in public, who didn't know they were a couple?

For children who are still studying, grade is an insurmountable gap, but Dean, who is in sixth grade, still fell in love with Ginny, who is in fifth grade. This made Ron very unhappy, even though he was the last to fall in love.

Knowing that his roommate and his sister are "stirring" together.

Boys go through puberty later than girls, and sometimes behave like children. Dean Thomas, on the other hand, is already an adult, appearing sensitive and cautious. This may be because he lacks the company of a wizard father in his life, and his mother is a psychopath.

melon.

His father was an Auror. During the First Wizarding War, he was killed by Voldemort while performing a mission while protecting his family. Therefore, during career counseling in fifth grade, Thomas chose to become an Auror.

But his grades were indeed not very good, and becoming an Auror required Defense Against the Dark Arts, Potions, Transfiguration and Herbalism classes, as well as high scores in Charms, so he asked Neville, the "darling" of the Herbology class, for help.

Pomona reached an agreement with him. As long as he came to "confinement", he didn't have to attend the herbal medicine class. As for how to get high marks in the herbal medicine class, she didn't have to worry about it. Then Dean Thomas became Pomona's replacement.

Gryffindor's "eyeliner".

Harry has been very popular in Potions class recently, but it is not a big deal in Dean's eyes. He is worried about his future employment and his mother who lives in the Muggle world. If she does not plan to go to the wizarding world, Dean will have to

Move out of home.

Ginny seems to be quite suitable for marriage, probably because she is deeply influenced by Molly, which means that Dean is dating Ginny for the purpose of starting a family and starting a career.

"What are you doing here, Mr. Thomas?" Snape's distinctive, deliberately drawn-out voice suddenly appeared.

"I...I'm here to help." Dean said with some fear.

Even though Old Bat is no longer the Potions Professor, he is still teaching Defense Against the Dark Arts.

"So you've finished helping?" Snape asked slowly.

"Yes, sir." Dean said knowingly.

"Then you can go." Snape said, and Dean left immediately before he could regret it.

After Dean left, Snape glanced at Pomona, then like a stranger without saying anything, turned and walked towards the workbench where the Potions Club was located.

His black robes seemed to absorb light, making the place twice as dark wherever he went. The dark green bachelor's robe she bought for him has not been seen in him for a long time. Obviously Slughorn can do it.

Wearing such a decent smoking shirt, why doesn't he get one?

There are also those densely packed buttons, which are very difficult to untie. Coming from the Muggle world, he should know that there is such a thing as a "zipper" to replace it. Even if he didn't know it, he has seen so many students from the Muggle world wearing casual clothes.

It’s time to know.

Seeing that she was anxious, he was completely unmoved and had no intention of helping. He even laughed at her...

"Oh, Merlin." She whispered, shaking her head to throw all the messy content out of her mind, trying to keep herself busy and avoid having random thoughts.

In fact, after completing fifth grade, the content of sixth and seventh grades was not required. This resulted in Newt being expelled from school, but because he completed the exam and did not cause any harm, he could still work at the Ministry of Magic.

In other words, after Ginny completes her studies this year, she can concentrate on getting married. She doesn't have to learn silent spells or deal with too profound courses. But she is very likely to be like Molly, and even Boggarts can't be dealt with.

.

There is nothing wrong with this, she just feels that it is a pity that many witches are very talented. For example, Slughorn always said that Harry inherited Lily's potion talent and performed so well.

But Lily is not only talented in potions. She is also better than James and Harry in other aspects. However, she is remembered by the world just because she is Harry's mother, Mrs. Potter. Few people would use "Lily".

Vance" called her.

It was like she was dead, but she didn't die under the mysterious man's wand. And she actually put down the wand. This was not like what a wizard would do, unless she or he had mastered wandless magic, like the invincible Angus.

That way.

Albus gave her equal opportunities to further her studies and hoped that she would not waste her talents. If he didn't...

She stopped busy and looked back at the back of the "culprit". What if he hadn't knocked on her door that Christmas?

If he doesn't open it, she will feel that he is pitiful, as if he was in fifth grade all over again.

She gave him three chances to invite her to the ball, as if she was playing a trick on him. If she wanted to go with him, why not just agree?

But she didn't want him to find it easy. Things that are easy to get are always rare.

So what he was thinking about at this moment was Pomona who opened the door for him, or Lily who was determined not to open the door no matter how noisy he was?

She laughed at herself and got herself busy again, but as soon as she bent over she felt nauseous. Was it because she had a bad stomach, or was it worse?

God told Adam and Eve that they could eat any fruit in the Garden of Eden except the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, otherwise they would be punished.

But they couldn't help but eat it. Not only were they kicked out of the Garden of Eden, but their descendants were also cursed by "original sin."

The thought made her shudder, even though the weather had warmed up today and was not as cold as the blizzard two days ago.

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

========

The age difference between the 6th Duke of La Rochefoucauld and the 7th Duke is 4 years. The 6th Duke married twice without any problems, but neither of the two duchesses had children, and the Duke himself was not like that.

Many men of that era were looking for mistresses like that. His hobby was traveling. After going to England, Sweden, Germany, Switzerland, Italy and other places, he even went to the United States. He was Benjamin Franklin's friend and translator, and also helped Franklin.

The constitutions of the thirteen North American states were published in Paris.

He was the president of the Royal Academy of Medicine and Science, which was not due to his noble birth. He soon realized that the "problem" lay in his thinness, so he was not harsh on his two wives, and never was harsh on his two wives.

Preparations to find a successor within the clan began a long time ago.

Like all ancient big families, La Rochefoucauld also has side branches and main branches. The mother of the sixth-generation Duke is the eldest daughter of the last main branch of the La Rochefoucauld family. She is older than the eldest son and also

That is, the father of the seventh-generation Duke of the branch is older, and he is higher in the succession order. Originally, according to the old rules of the La Rochefoucauld family, there can only be one heir to the Duke. He will inherit all the property and title of his father, and his daughter

Neither the child nor the younger son has the right to inherit. Women will choose to marry, while men will join the Knights of Malta and join the church.

Regardless of when the rules were changed, in short, after the "son of the eldest daughter", the "eldest son" and the "son of the eldest son" both have the first line of succession. The seventh-generation Duke has no hostility towards the sixth-generation Duke. He also likes it.

He traveled everywhere and also went to the United States. The difference was that he did not participate in the American Revolution. Instead, he took a boat to Canada and other places and wrote nearly 10 volumes of travel notes.

It was precisely because of this experience that he built an "American-style farm" in Normandy, and the sixth Duke also expressed support for his reforms. When the two appeared at the court of Versailles at the same time, there was not much drama in the family.

, fighting to the death in front of the king and queen.

At that time, there were "whispers" in the palace as to whether there was any need to support the American Revolution. If the cost was so high, they could directly attack England.

The two cousins, who both have connections with America, had completely different attitudes on this matter. The seventh generation Duke returned to his hometown castle and continued to work on his farm and founded a school to provide education for poor soldiers. The sixth generation Duke

The Duke was busy campaigning for American causes.

At this time, there was already an undercurrent in France. At the three-level parliament in 1789, the sixth-generation Duke was elected as a representative of the Paris nobility to attend the meeting, while the seventh-generation Duke came to Paris as a representative of the local nobility.

On the constitutional issue, the two houses of Congress fought over whether the monarch's veto power should exist, and the royal family's flight situation worsened sharply. At this time, the sixth generation Duke still supported the king.

Divorce was very troublesome in the past. After the Divorce Law was passed in 1792, secular courts could declare divorce. At that time, there was a chief justice in Paris. He participated in the arrest of the king and was a well-known Jacobin activist. However, in August

He did not attend on the 10th.

Seven days before the incident, he left the palace with a document containing the addresses of 48 departmental commissioners. It was based on this document that Bessiere rescued the sixth Duke. After being rescued, the Duke immediately announced his resignation and returned to his ancestral home.

The castle.

Nobles in the old days could have their own lovers outside, but they could not divorce. It was sometimes more effective than an armistice. In fact, the king had a way to protect himself, just like playing chess. Although the queen was the strongest piece on the chessboard, she could not get divorced.

Just a chess piece, he can choose to divorce the queen and end the marriage relationship with Austria, so that he will still be the king of the French.

Leoncourt left Paris in July not to escape the subsequent storm. At that time, there was an army in Normandy. After the king left, they no longer believed in the king and planned to overthrow him. Leoncourt returned with the title of lieutenant general.

Soothing.

His last trip to the United States was in 1795. At that time, the heads of the nobles on the guillotine fell to the ground, and even the wizard hiding inside almost suffered disaster. Fortunately, the wizard knew how to use a hiding spell to hide his neck.
