Chapter 108: Valentine's Day in a Strange Country (continued)

"Where are we going?" Hermione was dragged after Phoenix, her eyes covered with ribbons. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info walked without the slightest timidity, and strode forward at the pace of Phoenix.

"A scene that many people will never see. Phoenix said slowly. They came to the second floor, where the shelves on both sides were filled with fresh roses, and the fragrance was intoxicating.

Hermione blushed and snorted.

"We're here," Phoenix said, opening a brown pearwood door, "are you ready?"

There was a hint of impatience in his tone.

Hermione nodded, the ribbon not letting in any light. She shrugged her shoulders, looking nervous and expectant. He stood behind Hermione and slowly removed the ribbon.

Hermione, who had just regained her sight, squinted her eyes slightly, looking at the yellow objects around her. After a few moments, the eyes fully adjust to the environment in the room.

A huge heart-shaped pattern made up of rubies floats in mid-air, with a beautiful sapphire necklace in the center.

The floor is covered with gold, and the diamonds on it are arranged in the shape of various flowers, swinging gracefully, just like real flowers.

"Do you like it?"

"Reallyβ€”is it trueβ€”" Hermione crouched down, her fingers brushing the gold bricks lightly.

"Yes, definitely. Phoenix said.

"Liar," Hermione said as she walked over the sapphire necklace again, "these don't have goblin magic, they can't be circulated." Don't think I don't know anything. ”

"Haha," Phoenix smiled awkwardly and took off her coat, "but this is true, I prepared it for purpose." ”

Hermione trembled slightly and touched the beautiful and delicate sapphire necklace with her hand, suddenly turned around and whispered, "Do I wear a princess or a queen?"

"You are my princess. He said affectionately, taking off the sapphire necklace. It was the only underwear left on Hermione, but she didn't realize it. Gently put it on her and whispered in her ear, "Are you satisfied?"

"Not satisfied," Hermione said, unfazed as if not at all, "I thought there was a crown." ”

"I-" Phoenix froze, secretly stammering, this appetite is too great, this is not satisfied.

"Lie to you, you idiot. Hermione finally smiled and kissed Phoenix, who was clearly stunned.

Only then did Phoenix react and hug her fiery body. The cold sapphire was squeezed between the two of them's chests, rippling and dancing again and again, before it was calmly pressed against Hermione's chest again for a long time. He had always felt that Hermione had taken some kind of potion to develop into the beautiful figure she was now, could this be the body of a fifteen or sixteen-year-old, what a girl should have?

"Don't move your hands. Hermione gasped, but didn't stop Phoenix's hands from roaming around her.

"That's not going to work, it loves this place. Phoenix teased Hermione, "Would you rather it be somewhere else?"

His hand slid down a few more inches.

"Don't make a fuss. Hermione held up the sapphire and looked at it closely, "Where did you get that?"

"It's confiscated," Phoenix obediently stopped this time, "this necklace has been magically enchanted by that wizard, and the person who brings it will have bad luck, usually either suicide or the death of a loved one, resulting in a mental blow." Recently, a wizard stumbled upon it, and it was retrieved, and it was supposed to be sent to Gringotts for confiscation. ”

"It can't be Blue Hope, right?" asked Hermione, wide-eyed.

"I don't know, but it does seem to be well-known among Muggles. Phoenix said uncertainly.

"That's very likely," Hermione kissed him on the cheek, "there's a famous diamond called Blue Hope." Many kings and wealthy people got their hands on it and died miserably soon after. That makes sense why it's called 'ominous blue hope,' which I always thought was just a coincidence. ”

"Then what you have is a priceless treasure that only a queen can wear. Phoenix said triumphantly, "You have to admire my eye for choosing gifts, and you can see at a glance that one is the best among so many things." ”

Phoenix pointed to the jewelry made from the various gemstones around him.

"Less bragging, you're just lucky. ”

There was a knock on the door, and then Watson's voice came from outside.

"Young Master, there is news - the report on the incident in New York has been completed. ”

Hermione frantically dressed, and Phoenix put on her robe in annoyance and opened the door. With a look of displeasure on his face, Watson grimaced as he handed her a parchment document.

"That's all?" he flipped through a few pages, and the Muggle researchers had come up with a good method, and the next few pages specifically stated how to use Muggle equipment to create and restore the scene when it happened.

"No, this is what George just delivered. Watson handed him another thin paper. It was only two pages long, and there were photos of several people, and they were Muggle photos.

"The Purges, they are involved too?" Phoenix read as he became serious, "It is suspected that the Muggle Elite is the Purge, and he is currently working on a report on the sightings of the fire dragon in New York, the location of the Magical Congress of the United States, and other sensitive information, which the Aurors are spying on. ”

"No evidence of direct involvement has been found, but they are certain in the activity. Watson said.

"Arrest them all and interrogate them first, ask them if they have any accomplices, and do it immediately. Let George immediately go up and gather the prime ministers. Phoenix tugged at his collar, and Hermione opened the door and came out. Watson didn't look at her, turned and did as he was told.

"What's wrong?"

"The cleaners may be the mastermind of this accident, and the details are still under investigation. Phoenix told Hermione about it without reservation.

"Those madmen who kill wizards," Hermione said in shock, "but haven't they long since blended into the Muggles?" the book says that they threw away children who showed a talent for magic to avoid being hunted down by the Aurors. ”

"My dear, if you read two more pages back when you read Rappaport Law, you'll see why. "A few years after the implementation of the Paport Law, there was a remarkable leak involving Dorcus, the daughter of the American Galleon administrator, who was infatuated with a Muggle named Bappo. But he didn't know that Babo was a descendant of the purges. No one in his family knew magic, but he was a firm believer in the existence of magic, and he believed that all wizards and witches were evil. Under the inducement of Babo, Dorcus revealed the secret addresses of Macusa and Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, as well as information about the International Confederation of Wizards. After gathering a lot of information from Dorcus, Bapo stole her wand and gathered as many reporters as he could and displayed it. He gathers a group of armed friends and carries out a persecution campaign, hoping to kill all the wizards and witches in the surrounding area. and send a letter to the Muggle higher-ups. ”

That's right, it's no wonder that Paport's laws have been in place for hundreds of years, and some regions have tried to enforce them. Hermione hugged Phoenix from behind. "What happened in the end?"

After the incident, Macusa worked so hard to clean up the mess that Macusa's buildings had to be relocated. Rappaport admits that she is not sure if anyone involved in Dorcus' leak has been cast the Oblivion Charm. The leak was so severe that the after-effects lasted for years, but thankfully there were no casualties, so a Forgetfulness Charm was all it takes. We're going to have to think of a reasonable reason for tens of thousands of deaths this time. ”

Phoenix remembers the magic leak very well, and the important families of the three continents, after this incident, found that Muggles were not as backward as they thought, so they set up an analysis agency to investigate and study Muggle technology, and this department has been operating until now. This century, the cost has reached astronomical amounts, and if it weren't for Peverell's control of the entire economy of Europe and North America, it would not have been able to afford such a huge overhead.

"Okay, you'll be alone, I'll go to the meeting. Phoenix kissed her on the cheek. (To be continued.) )
