Harry Potter’s Morning Light

   Chapter 2416 Fox and She-Wolf (middle)

The place where Georgiana stayed is a castle on the western outskirts of Brussels. It was built in the 11th century. There are moats and drawbridges around the castle, but the main part of the castle has been converted into a Renaissance style. The whole body is made of red bricks, and there is a large garden.

In the 17th century, it once belonged to the Prime Minister of the Duchy of Brabantine. When he was young, his father was killed by the Dutch rebels, and his mother took him to Cologne. When he grew up, he became the Spanish envoy in London. Then he was promoted all the way to the position of Prime Minister. There is a village of Brabantine near this castle. The villagers were once subjects of his fief. Now they have nothing to do with each other, because the castle has changed hands several times, and the last owner is the church.

   If you ignore the past that it once housed beggars and sick people, the renovated castle is still very comfortable to live in, with a view of the moat and gardens from their small living room.

  It takes three days to travel from Paris to Brussels. It is a tutorial on stage horses. How can human legs outrun a horse?

   It is precisely because of this that Wellington miscalculated the time when the French arrived in Belgium and was almost caught off guard.

  Georgianna had also guessed before, why Louis XVI wanted to run northeast, she probably really thought too much at that time.

  From Paris to Chalon, if you don’t stop, you can arrive in one day, but they arrived at 4 o’clock in the afternoon. This is the result of their constant change of horses, and they are still good horses.

   But they still missed the cavalry to support. In fact, as long as they leave the French border and reach Austria or even the Lorraine region, they can set up a new capital there, and then rely on Austria and the royalists to regain the kingship again.

   The same thing was done by William V of Orange, who borrowed the armies of Prussia and England. However, Louis XVI was unlucky and was stopped at Valen, mainly because of the station guard Jean-Baptiste Drouet.

Legend has it that Drouet recognized the king through coins. In fact, he once served in Versailles and knew the king and many dignitaries. After recognizing the king, he quickly realized what would happen if Louis XVI escaped. , so he arrived at Warren and told the councillor, who immediately woke everyone up with the sound of the fire alarm.

He asked people to block the only way, and then persuaded the innkeeper to hand over the king, not like Bertin and Georgiana said, the king persuaded the people, but the mayor and his wife did not allow them to pass, like that story plot.

   Bonaparte had told her that when people gave advice, it was often for their own purposes and interests, and she needed to discern those words.

   In fact, France also had cavalry, but during the Louis XIV era, when the city walls were demolished, the lords’ horse farms were also demolished, which led to the fact that France still does not have horses like Britain and Germany.

   He locked the nobles in a beautiful Versailles Palace, and let them rack their brains and compete for jealousy to please the king, and borrowed from the king for gorgeous clothes and jewelry.

Maybe they can't see through the fog, but court battles are good at it, Georgiana's maids are all dressed in new clothes now, only Leila is the same, she was gorgeous when she first arrived, and then came to see the others Dressed simply and changed.

   There are many people who are easily lost, and Georgiana did not want to live in a medieval fortress-style castle, but isn't Hogwarts a stone castle?

There is a gorge from Hogwarts to Hogsmeade, which is connected by a wooden bridge in the middle. After crossing it, you will take a path. After reaching the village, there will be the Owl Post Office and the Honey Duke, and there are also three brooms. There Have a glass of butterbeer.

   She remembers taking Lily and Severus there for a beer for the first time to celebrate Severus' birthday, and they both had "beards" on their lips after drinking beer. For these two little wizards from the Muggle world, everything in the wizarding world was novel, and she took them to Honeydukes and bought a cauldron cake as a birthday cake.

   She watched Henriette eat cake with ladylike manners, which reminded her of Lily. Lily wasn't as cautious as Severus when she saw cockroaches piled up like wizard candy and wanted to shove it into her mouth. Just because that kind of "candy" is in Honeydukes instead of Prank Tricks doesn't mean it's not for pranks, Weasley Tricks also have escaping candy.

   It is precisely because of safety that it is easy to relax our vigilance. Who would treat cockroaches as food? Not a bird snake.

   She remembered the bird snake called Cockroach Pile, which Severus had bought for her as a "Christmas surprise".

   She never thought that one day the junior who drank butter beer with foam on his mouth would actually control her in turn.

Taking a little girl under ten years old as a hostage back to France and letting her grow up without parental discipline is terrible, but if you let Mrs. Langhenhofen go to Paris with you, then Langhenhofen is left. Fen is alone, isn't this disguised as breaking up other people's families?

   But she had no better solution to the problem, and she didn't talk to Madame Langenhofen about sending Henrietta to Paris anyway.

   After breakfast, we will go to the main square to deliver clothes to Yu Lian. In short, the theme of today is around children.

   She let the others get in the carriage first, and went to Padma herself, Gryffindor girls are still much better than boys, at least they can sit quietly.

   When Georgiana walked over, she found Padma covering her head, looking at the short "Witchcraft Act".

   "About the examination of evidence, it is necessary to echo experience or logic." Georgiana suddenly said, "This bill has mentioned unnaturalness many times."

   "I don't understand." Padma looked at Georgiana. "How could such a law exist?"

   "At least in your day it was cancelled, but Headmaster Dumbledore's sister didn't catch up, so his tragedy was unavoidable."

   "What tragedy?" Padma asked.

   "Are you ready? We're leaving."

   "I don't want to go," said Padma.

"why?"

   "I have a bad feeling." Padma handed a tea cup to Georgiana. "You better not go either."

   She looked at the tea stains in the cup…

   "I have to tell you something." Georgiana put down the glass. "This castle once belonged to a judge of the Inquisition, and the Spanish Netherlands was the place where the witch hunts were most rampant."

  Padma did not speak.

   "Maybe we will be blocked in the square and then set up at the stake." Georgiana smiled wryly and put the cup on the table.

   "We live so far from Brussels because of this?"

   "If you don't say it, I really didn't expect it." Georgiana whispered.

   "I really can't tell, he's actually quite attentive."

  Georgianna shook her head, when the door was knocked again.

   "Madame, it's time to go," said Bonaparte's private secretary from outside the door.

   "Coming soon," Georgiana replied.

   "Wait, where did you hide your wand?" Padma asked, standing up and chasing after her.

  Georgianna opened the spring-loaded lid of the quiver flower, and the wand jumped out.

   "Wow." Padma's eyes glowed, "Can I have one too?"

   "I have jewelry there, pick one when you come back, and I'll find you a pair of long gloves later, and you hide it in the gloves."

   "You're the best~" Padma flew over immediately.

   "Just treat it as my Christmas present." Georgiana smiled and said, "Merry Christmas."
