Chapter 365 The Heavy Cross (Part 1)

Buying a black Rolls-Royce is not only about having money, but also requires an identity verification system. Before 2003, it was only sold to political dignitaries and people of royal blood.

After BMW acquired Rolls-Royce in 2003, this system was abolished. Now anyone can buy it as long as they have money. The Rolls-Royce owned by the Vallieri family is not a new car. Its style is very old, even if it is maintained.

It was very good and it was obvious that it was old. The driver called Justin's grandfather a count. If Justin's father inherited the title, then Justin's mother would be a countess.

A boy from the slums, now even the earl wants to flatter him. Severus's mood was obviously better. After sitting down on the leather sofa, Pomona accidentally got knocked by something. She found a piece of paper from the gap between the sofa.

This book is "Wandering with Werewolves" written by Lockhart.

"Are you still reading this book?" After closing the car door, Severus asked looking at the book in Pomona's hand.

"It's a good time to spend time. His writing is very real and makes people feel like they are actually there." Justin said nonchalantly.

"It's not that he wrote it very realistically, it's that he wrote a true story, but he adapted it into his own story." Severus said with a sarcastic smile, "He stole other people's memories and erased them with the forgetting spell.

My memory, the real wizard in that book was an old Armenian wizard."

"Oh, is that so?" Justin said in surprise.

"A closed village, a terrifying werewolf, villagers waiting to be rescued, and a wizard wearing shining goblin armor." Pomona curled her lips and threw the book back to Justin. Lockhart also smiled.

And the dress sense seems to be okay.”

"Harry Potter didn't tell you?" Severus continued to smile maliciously.

"No, he only said that Lockhart was not trustworthy. When he and Ron asked him to help deal with the basilisk, Lockhart planned to escape." Justin said blankly.

Pomona thought of Lockhart who replied to the letter in the secret ward. Although he had many admirers, no one visited him. He had to rely on answering letters every day. If Harry exposed Lockhart's true identity, he would probably die.

No one will write to him anymore.

"Harry is a kind child." Pomona sighed. To be able to grow up like this in an environment like the Dursley's, it can only be said that he was born this way.

"During the meeting in the greenhouse yesterday, he said that he will also be a Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher in the second half of the semester." Justin threw the book aside. "He said that you visited him, Dean."

"He is just a mascot in the Ministry of Magic, why not come to school and do some real work."

At this time, the Rolls-Royce started and walked through the narrow streets. Although the ancient things had a long history, they gave people a feeling of oppression and heavyness. She leaned on Severus's shoulder and smelled the smell of aftershave with her nose.

I guess it was applied just now.

"Aren't your parents coming with us?" Pomona asked.

"Robert will pick them up when they come."

"Where is your female companion?" Severus asked.

"I haven't found the right one." Justin said coldly, "I want to find someone who can be my motivation."

What Justin was talking about was Article 70 of the Hufflepuff Code. The Fletcher family is a true knight family, heirs trained according to the spirit of chivalry. Now Justin wants to find someone he loves and who loves him to fight for.

.

In the final battle of Hogwarts, Gryffindor and Hufflepuff children left almost as many children. What drove Justin to leave behind was the heart of protecting the school.

Also driving the time turner requires enough power, Pomona felt that she could do it, Hermione was driven by curiosity, and she was eager to save Severus.

Article 76 of the College Code:

When reality hinders your goals, give up if you can't hold on. This is not an escape, it is a choice of fate.

Hufflepuff is not a courageous house like Gryffindor. He is not timid and incompetent, but his decisions are economical and reasonable. He is more suitable to be a follower rather than a leader. This is a good quality for girls.

This is not necessarily a good thing for boys.

It's hard to find the sharpness and edge found in Gryffindor and Slytherin boys in Hufflepuff boys.

It's just that Gryffindor people are brave and like to show off. Hufflepuff boys will not act recklessly like Gryffindor. They will hold on when they can and retreat if they can't hold on. If Justin's grandfather

If you also wear the Sorting Hat, you may also be sorted into Hufflepuff House.

Pomona hopes that Justin can find someone to lean on. He is too lonely alone. Maybe a girl from Slytherin can do it. Andromeda Black married Ted Tonks from Hufflepuff.

, Slytherin and Hufflepuff have the most inter-house couples.

"Boys and girls cannot be closer than 8 inches each other. You are breaking the school rules, Professor." Severus said with a smile, his voice sounding muffled in his chest.

"That's ridiculous," Pomona said sarcastically.

Hufflepuff Academy likes to cuddle up with people. Whether they are lovers or not, it is much easier to have someone to rely on to get through difficult times than to be alone.

People of the same era have experienced more things and have more common languages. Pomona can't imagine what it was like when Muggles and wizards were prohibited from marrying. The Rappaport Law was repealed in 1965.

, it’s a pity that Queenie and Jacob didn’t meet.

They are harmless. Jacob's dream is to open a bakery, and Queenie wants to be with Jacob. Such a simple dream but so many obstacles. Why is the world always interested in sweet and loving girls?

Full of malice.

"Speaking of Armenia, do you know Heraclius? Justin."

Seeing the Potions Professor and the Herbology Professor kissing each other again, Justin Follier consciously began to bury his head in his book. He raised his head after hearing the Potions Professor's question.

"After the Justinian dynasty, the founding emperor of the Heraclius dynasty of the Eastern Roman Empire was also the first Roman emperor to send an envoy to China."

Severus was a little surprised, obviously Justin's answer was different from what he expected.

"I have a friend who works in the city hall, and he got the invitation for me." Justin closed the book. "At this cultural exchange meeting, some murals will be displayed, including those from Dunhuang, and some from the tombs of princes and nobles.

There is a picture of a guest in the tomb of Prince Zhang Huai. There is a person who is dressed like a Roman in the Middle Ages. This at least proves that during the period of Prince Zhang Huai, the Eastern Roman Heraclius Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty of China had established diplomatic relations.

."

"Why did you suddenly think of Heraclius?" Pomona tugged on Severus' sleeve. This was not a good topic.

"We were talking about the communication issue just now. In 2003, Hussein was captured by the Americans. He was a cautious person and knew that mobile phones were not safe at all, so he always sent messages through notes." Severus

He started rummaging around in the car, and finally found a bottle of champagne in the car refrigerator. Justin very obediently took out the crystal glass.

With a "pop" sound, the champagne was opened. Drinking champagne in a luxury car is the dream of many people, but now it is just a drink for their conversation.

"Times have changed so fast. A thousand years ago, sending an envoy from Eastern Rome to China would have taken at least two years of travel. Now it can be solved with just a phone call."

"Oh, my God." Pomona looked at the cold Potions Professor, "Do you remember this?"

Severus drank champagne and said nothing, while Justin looked at the two of them curiously.

"Harry Potter lives in a Muggle family, and Hermione also lives in a Muggle family. They talk on the phone during the summer vacation." Pomona said indifferently, "The Death Eaters don't know where Harry's home is, but they can find Hermione."

"As long as we trace the call records of Hermione's house, we can find where Harry's house is."

Justin sat upright suddenly.

"It's quite mysterious, isn't it?" Severus said with a sneer.

"He's still a kid and needs friends."

"It's a good idea to run away from home, and he doesn't want to think about how many obstacles he has added to the fat man's career." Severus said sarcastically, "In the past, Fenon could invite colleagues and superiors, but later he could only invite himself.

After Maggie's incident, the family couldn't make a date anymore, and Fanon's career and life were completely ruined by Harry Potter."

Pomona looked at Justin, she knew that Severus' words were meant for him.

"Emotional. If he could put himself in other people's shoes, he would know how much trouble he has caused to others."

"Let's talk about Heraclius." Pomona said with a stiff smile. "What did you want to say, dear?"

"If he had not lost Syria, there would not have been so many subsequent problems, but it is a pity that he is no match for the prophet."

"But he took back the True Cross that the Persians took away." Justin argued.

"Yes, the 'true' cross." Severus said sarcastically, "He also carried it along the Via Dolorosa like Jesus himself into the Church of the Holy Sepulchre."

"Why are you so angry?" Pomona muttered.

"That idiot Ron, how did his clever mind come up with the idea of ​​calling Harry Potter?" The old bat obviously entered a state of rage and began to mutter to himself.

"That was the year when the entire Weasley family traveled to Egypt." Pomona said to the confused Justin, "Sirius Black escaped from Azkaban, and Dumbledore used all his connections to get those phone calls out.

The record will be deleted."

"How do you know so much, Dean?"

"Use your brain, Justin. It's okay to act stupid, but don't really become a fool."
