Harry Potter’s Morning Light - Chapter 2594 The Queen's New Career

   Chapter 2594 The Queen's New Career

  While Greta was singing on stage, Janice Shepp, the "Queen of the Night", was below the stage.

  The real age of the actress is estimated to be in her 100s. Ollivander was a fan of her when she was young, but she looks less than 50 years old, with smooth blonde hair. Because she is too old, her lungs can no longer support her to continue singing coloratura, but she did not retire at home because of this, but started a cosmetics business.

   Ordinary "beauty potions" can't have the effect of reducing age, but the potion formulas used in the shops she runs are all invented by herself, and the rest of the people don't know. She's also about to launch a new fragrance, Lusciouslocks, which doesn't contain a fascination agent but is said to have the same powers of enchantment, which she's wearing tonight.

   Probably because of the magic, the whole scene can be smelled. It has a light sweet scent, which Pomona personally thinks is more suitable for young girls, too sweet for Janice.

   "Queen" is not only beautiful, but also talented. Greta's singing voice is not as good as that of Janice, and she will not be equipped with such advanced potions, but she is a member of the French cheese making association.

  Lockhart is also good at magic, such as amnestics, Greta is very good at casting magic on cheese, and has also published a book, which is very popular with housewives.

  Before Newt Scamander arrived in Paris in 1927, the French magical society was going through a transformation. At that time, the French Minister of Magic suddenly banned the sale of potions to Muggles, especially the Ecstasy was strictly controlled.

  The making of potions requires herbs and magical animals, so the British Foreign Office for Magic organized the Herbal Association as a diplomatic representative. Instead, the French Foreign Office organized a cheese-making competition that year.

   Not all cheeses have a sweet smell, like blue cheese, which smells so bad that it makes you wonder if it’s food.

After the food goes bad, it often becomes moldy and smells bad. In 1791, a woman named Marie Arrel discovered an edible, hairy cheese, which is said to have been produced by the French Revolution during the French Revolution. Taught to her by a fugitive under her shelter. The spells invented by the Cheese Society are preceded by "Mary Arrel's Fortune" purely in her memory.

   There is also the award-winning "trophy" that is also made with another Normandy washed cheese, which is also stinky.

  Pomona had to keep an eye on Cedric, lest he be taught badly by these "grown men", English men are always a little bit crazy about French women, thinking they always smell like cheese.

  Severus didn't come, but there were a lot of people talking about him. There is also a slightly larger circle of Ludo Bagman, who is standing with the Irish Quidditch captain.

The day before the Quidditch World Cup final is the night of the full moon, which is also the "Ghost Festival" in the East. It is said that that day will be the same as Halloween, with many ghosts appearing, and the day the Harry Potter family was killed happened to be Halloween. .

Ludo Bagman was sued as a Death Eater, when the Aurors of the French Ministry of Magic were supposed to stop the meeting in Grindelwald, but many members of the French Ministry of Magic were turned against by Grindelwald, but instead "multiple management". Nosy" Britons prevented the disaster, and a female Auror died because of it, and Bagman always felt a problem with trying to find excuses to relax his guard.

   "Look at her." Guspard Singleton asked Pomona and Cedric to look at Janice Shepp. "Did you see the necklace around her neck?"

  Pomona saw Shep had a gorgeous ruby ​​necklace around her neck, so bright red it looked like blood.

   "I bet there's an aging rune in there," Singleton said.

  Cedric looked eager to ask what it was.

   "A woman's age is a secret," said Pomona. "You're not good, Gerspard."

   "Speaking of this, I do remember that you have 'good stuff' too?" said Gerspard.

  Cedric looked even more confused.

   "Go get me some wine and cheese," Pomona said to Cedric.

   "Yes." Cedric smiled and left.

   "The skin of a basilisk is rarer than the blood of a rem bull," said Guspard. "Especially the basilisk of Salazar Slytherin."

   "That's why you want to chat with Severus?" Pomona asked.

   "It's the same with you." Guspard said with a knowing smile, "I heard you were involved."

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

  Rem cattle is a bison that lives in the North American continent. It is similar in shape to ordinary bison, but is larger and has golden skin. Its blood can make many high-level potions, including the potent stimulant potion required by the Age Reduction Rune, which is more effective than the blood potion that Pomona has drunk.

The blood potion can activate magic for a short time, and she will be very tired for the next few days. The powerful stimulation potion improves the magic power and accuracy of the spell without any side effects, but even Aurors are rarely assigned. of.

  Rem's blood is very precious and rare. It is not a tradable commodity, and only those who are "very skilled" can get it.

The age-reducing rune is a pendant, and the inside is empty. After a period of time, the potion in the bottle must be replaced with a new one, otherwise the rune will be invalid, and at the same time, the youthful beauty it maintains will also disappear. And in this replacement potion, there is a known ingredient that is Rem Bull's blood.

Georgiana once said to Bonaparte that when she took off her necklace, she would no longer be young and beautiful. He did not know whether it was because of unbelief or other reasons. He raised his hand and put the black swan crystal pendant around her neck. torn off.

   In case what she said was true, after she ripped off the rune, her skin slackened quickly, her hair thinned, and she looked like an old woman, would he be frightened by that scene?

   As long as you are willing to spend money, "Fountain of Youth" is not a dream, but it is not a one-time-for-all, you have to keep taking it until your wallet can't bear it.

  The "beautiful potion" that the French wizard gave to the widow Bolski has obviously been improved. France has always been known for its romance, but which romantic story does not have a beautiful heroine?

   Even the Hunchback of Notre Dame has a crush on Asmeralda, beauty is the premise of romance, but not the whole thing, you have to pay for those pomp.

  The Gaunts used to be wealthy too, because their ancestors were profligate, and by the time of Voldemort their fortunes were gone, and they were no match for a Muggle.

  If you don't have money, you can borrow money. In the past, Louis XIV lent money to the nobles in Versailles to let them live the life they wanted, so that they would not be "happy" and would not go back to the countryside to engage in the slinger movement.

The nobles who "accustomed" to wizards also learned this. In 1927, when the French Third Republic was in the midst of usurer imperialism, Paris gathered a lot of usurers who put their money in the field of credit, and Not in the production field as in the UK.

   For example, when lending money to aristocrats, the aristocrats would sell the money if they couldn’t repay them, but the nobles cherished their dignity, and even if they went to the pawnshop, they would say they would go to “aunt’s house”.

Famous paintings, jewels, furniture, all of them are bought, so of course it can't maintain a decent noble life, the Muggle situation is not clear, but the wizarding nobles can cast curses on those treasures, and they will die when they touch it, the creditor is dead, and the debt is not. gone?

   This is definitely illegal, whether it is the International Secrecy Act or not, but when Muggle civilians cannot survive, they will borrow money to buy food.

   "We have no wood, no bread, no jobs, no law when we can't open the pot."

  Some people look decent, but they don't have much cash flow in their hands; or you think you are a "friend" of a friend, thinking it will be easy to borrow money from him, but when you need money, it's more unreliable than loan sharks.

  Debt and repayment is only natural, but don’t be so unreasonable. The Buddha said, take a step back and continue to push. Aachen is still some distance away from the Alsace region. Because some people lend usury, robbers are rampant, but the robbers only attack those who make loan sharks and are enslaved by the loan sharks. The people who are oppressed and exploited have responded in support, and those robbers are like "Robin Hood".

   Grindelwald was a saboteur to some, but a "hero" to others who followed him, not because they were violent, but because they were righteous.

  Before coming to this world, she always believed that no matter how bad the peace is, it is good for women. But just like a tree that has been devoured by termites, it is crumbling, and it is just one step away. If you don't kick that one, it will continue to crumble until it can't bear its own weight to destroy.

If she had a son, she would also support him in the war that must be fought. Cedric is very good, but he is Hufflepuff and always has a femininity. In contrast, Neville Longbottom uses Gryffindor The swipe of the sword was masculine, and if the serpentine Nagini had really been a woman, he helped her free.

   Yin and Yang are in harmony, and all things grow.

   But masculinity can also break down yin evil.

  Yang is often considered to be hot, and too much Yang is not a good thing.

   There was a severe drought at the end of the Sui Dynasty. Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty set up the Yicang to release grain for disaster relief, but officials from all over the country did not implement it. In the end, the civilians rushed into the Yicang to get the grain, and because there was no organized looting, a lot of the grain was wasted.

In the late Qing Dynasty, the same situation reappeared in Fujian. Although the Changping warehouse was set up, it was unknown how the officials managed it. When the famine occurred, they had to collect grain, which would not only cause the price of grain to rise even more, but also As the local scholar said, it caused the same situation at the end of the Sui Dynasty.

   A scholar pointed it out, but the government exiled him to WLMQ, and set up many dangers along the way to kill the man, but he finally came back alive.

   Tian Xingjian, the gentleman is self-improvement, the terrain is kun, and the gentleman is virtuous.

  The universe is running and moving forward. People walk between heaven and earth, and they should do something and not do something.

Albus told Pomona that even if people all over the world despised him, misunderstood him, and ridiculed him, as long as one person understood and recognized him, he would not give up in despair. If a woman makes a man lose his self-confidence, he will alienate her. If a woman fills his heart with confidence, he will fall in love with her unconsciously, even if she is not the most beautiful on the outside.

   She did not mind being a supporter, but as long as she thought of the affair of the Bonaparte ballerina Miss Campini, she found it difficult to support such a man, even though she knew that women were his weakness.

  If no one flatters him, it will make people lose their awe and think that he is not as good as a grass-roots person, then it is not appropriate to flatter too much and indulge in it, just like drinking sweet poison.

   Then she looked at the flattering letter just at the beginning, and tore it to shreds.

   After tearing it up, she touched the invisible swan pendant on her neck again, and Greta sang "Nobody Sleeps Tonight" echoed in her mind.

That's an excerpt from "Turandot", which tells the story of the Timurid era. Although Turandot means "warmth" in Mongolian, she killed all the suitors, and personally executed the beheading, so cruel Like a cold wind from Siberia.
