Chapter 119 Consolation

The next morning, when Jacquelin hurried to Yuna's classroom after finishing his breakfast, he happened to meet Harry and other Gryffindor students going downstairs to have breakfast together. Some kind of honor, they held the Firebolt aloft like a fragile object.Jacquelin just glanced at the Firebolt, and then walked upstairs without any regrets. Today, she had some questions that she hoped to get answers from Hermione.

To her disappointment, however, Hermione didn't come, and even Una went down to watch Quidditch.Jacquilin stared at the desks in the classroom for a while, then sighed, "There are always opportunities." She put down her schoolbag as she spoke, and opened "Life and Social Habits of British Muggle Families" .

"I'm so sorry," Hermione hurried over just before eleven o'clock, holding a sandwich in her hand, and the schoolbag behind her was dangling, as if it might split open at any moment. "I got up late." She said, her face was a little red from running, "I went back last night, and I corrected all the papers on Muggle studies. Thank you for your books." She opened her schoolbag and put a few large books I touched it out, "How about you, how is your article on prophecy?"

"It took me a long time." Jacquelin pouted, pointing to Professor Graham's office, "If you walk over now, you can see another me working on my homework."

"But how did you do it?" Hermione was very curious. "I always feel that I don't have enough time, and there is no safe place for me to use the converter. You seem to be in much better spirits than me. I haven't had a good time in a long time." After a good night's sleep, there are always papers and books that can't be finished."

"It's very simple, you just have to have a mum who works here," Jacqueline said. "One where I study, one in the Slytherin common room, and one in mum's office. There are three of me doing my homework at the same time. And sometimes, I will go to my mother's office after waking up, and then adjust the time to before going to bed, so that I have a night. But I rarely do this now I did," she said, shaking her head, "unless it's absolutely necessary, after such a night, I always feel like I haven't slept enough."

"I really envy you." Hermione said, "I don't have a safe place, I always hide here and there." She said, and found that Jacqueline's expression was a little strange. "What's the matter, is there something wrong? Did I just say something wrong?"

"I just think I've seen this sentence there." Jacqueline tilted his head and thought for a while, "It seems to be in a letter you wrote to me."

"It was last summer vacation." Her voice suddenly became strangely high, "I tell you, I really envy Ron and they can go to Egypt." She curled her lips as she said, "They also appeared in the "Prophet" A family. Alright," she obviously didn't want to spend more time on this issue, so she turned her eyes to the book on Jacquiline's desk, "you've seen this far, I haven't read this yet , maybe you can tell me about what was said earlier."

"It seems to be some very ordinary, Muggle lives. But I don't know if I understand it correctly." Jacqueline scratched his head with the pen of the quill, "Why do I feel that their lives are not the same as ours? In a world? Why do they have to do their own housework, don't they have anything like a house-elf? Also, I can understand they don't have a fireplace, but why don't they even have something like a broomstick. Oh, no," Jacqueline turned the book to the front for several pages, "Yes, here, they have something called an airplane, which seems to be able to fly in the sky, and can carry a lot of people, so why not popularize them? It's like Although most wizards can't afford a Firebolt, they can still afford an ordinary broomstick."

Hermione looked at Jacqueline, speechless for a moment, "First of all, such creatures are called servants or servants in the Muggle world." She said, "And, most of the time, Only some rich people can afford it. Secondly, I don’t know much about the planes you mentioned, but I know that they are very expensive to build. There may not be more than a hundred in a country, let alone everyone They all have one. Besides, I think the plane needs fuel, which is a big expense. Besides, you haven't seen how big the plane is, and we don't have a place to put it."

"I see." Jacqueline nodded half-understanding, "It looks similar to the wizarding world, only a few people have house elves. But, can you afford it?" Jacqueline continued to look puzzled. Hermione, "Aren't your servants or servants made by Muggles to serve them forever? Why do you have to pay for them?"

"Our servants, servants." Hermione made quotation marks with both hands, "They are also Muggles, and it is only their job to help others with housework, just like Hogwarts hired Professor Graham. They also take Salary, holidays. As for most ordinary people, such as our house, they clean, cook, and do their own laundry. The only difference is that we don’t use magic to do these things.”

"Oh." Jacquilin nodded half-understanding, and wrote down honestly in the book, "Then your family," Jacquilin asked, "if I offended you, I apologize first. But I See, it says that in the middle ages, most ordinary families had the father working and the mother doing housework at home, are they still like this now?"

"No." Hermione shook her head. "Although there may be a small number of families like this, in most families, both parents have jobs. For example, my parents are both dentists. Could it be that in the middle ages Do women in the wizarding world have to work then?"

"Yes." Jacqueline nodded, "Although most of the people in the Muggle world are wizards, they are all the same in the wizarding world. But dentists?" Jacqueline straightened his neck and thought for a while, I didn't figure out what kind of job it was, but it must have something to do with teeth. "That's fine," she said. "I don't know about you, but if my husband ever tells me that it's better if you stay home and do the chores, I'll send him to hell."

"I think Aunt Mollie, Ron's mother, said her mother was amazing at home doing housework all day, and it must be difficult for a big family to take care of them."

"Don't you want to be a housekeeper at home?" Jacqueline frowned, looking sideways at Hermione, "I'm not saying there's anything wrong with being at home, but I think you deserve more Well, this is a complete waste of your talent."

"Thanks, Jacqueline." Hermione's face flushed a little from being complimented, "I just think Aunt Molly is amazing, but I'm not going to be that kind of person, I never imagined that kind of me. By the way "Hermione asked suddenly, pointing to the picture about the noble class drawn on the book, "I've always wanted to know, are there nobles in the wizarding world?"

"Hmm." Jacqueline bit his lip, "I don't know how to put it. Simply put, yes, there are indeed some wizards who are nobles."

"Then who conferred your nobility? In the Muggle world, it's the king or the queen. You wizards also have a king or a queen? I thought you only had the Ministry of Magic." Hermione picked up her pen, looking like she was about to start taking notes. look.

"We don't have a king or queen." Jacquiline shook her head, and held up a finger to stop Hermione before she continued to ask, "The nobles in the wizarding world are actually conferred by Muggle kings or queens. You know, only the titles of duke and earl can be passed down from generation to generation among the nobility enshrined by Muggles. Before the Middle Ages, wizards were actually very willing to help Muggles. At that time, they were called mages. After the Middle Ages, the Pope of Rome, in fact, was a wizard himself, but he labeled wizards as aliens, saying that we use black magic, and began massacring wizards, and the wizards went into seclusion. Therefore, even if there are nobles in the wizarding world, It is also a duke or an earl. Of course, before inheriting, we have to report to the Muggle Prime Minister through the Ministry of Magic." Jacqueline muttered softly, "The Graham family is over for me, Unless I'm like my mother. By the way," said Jacquelin deliberately loudly, "you're helping Hagrid with the appeal? How's it going?"

"It's bad." Hermione shook her head in frustration, "We checked the information for a long time during the Christmas period, but apart from a few cases where people let go of those creatures because they were afraid of them, nothing else is beneficial to Hagrid. Yes, but I won’t give up.” Hermione looked at Jacquiline with eyes like iron, “I won’t let Malfoy get his way so easily, Buckbeak shouldn’t be sentenced. Jacqueline, you Didn't I say it, you've seen them before, and if you can say something for Hagrid, if you prove that Buckbeak didn't mean it, they'll more or less listen."

Jacquiline looked at Hermione, and it took her a moment to speak. "His name is Flake." Jacquelin lowered his head and drew circles on the table with his fingers, "It had a wife who was killed by my mother when I was four years old because it tried to attack me, in fact , It was just because I was in a bad mood to deliberately mess with him, and in the end, because of the confusion of the magic power, I blew up a few of its eggs."

For a while, they didn't talk to each other, they just quietly flipped through the books.Until the sound of Gryffindors laughing loudly came from downstairs.

"I think they're going to go back and have a celebration, to celebrate their victory," Jacqueline said, closing his book and staring at his desk.

"But Ron wouldn't want me to." Hermione's voice was a little lost. "He would complain to me about what would have happened if Scabbers was still alive, as if I didn't care about his rats at all."

"I'm still going to say," Jacquelin reopened the book, "you shouldn't have had cats in the first place."

"So you're with Ron and Harry now?" Hermione said hysterically.

"That's not what I meant." Jacquilin turned and looked at Hermione. "You can't go on like this, Hermione. You have to be clear that no one can influence your behavior. You don't have the weight of a family to weigh you down." On you, so take advantage of this opportunity, Hermione, and live for yourself and no one else. I know you consider Ron to be your friend, as you Gryffindors may be. But I I would never call a friend a friend who would be mad at me for a pet. Although if my friend had a mouse, I would never have a cat in the first place. But," said Jacqueline very calmly, "you think it's you Did Crookshanks eat Scabbers?"

"Absolutely not!" said Hermione, raising her voice. "Crookshanks is a smart cat, he wouldn't do that."

"Then you keep this belief." Jacquelin said decisively, "Think about it, in the first year, you thought that Professor Snape wanted to kill Harry and take the Philosopher's Stone, and in the second year, you thought I think the basilisk was released by us Slytherins to purify the school. Of course, although he is behind the scenes, it is Ginny who is really doing it, so I guess this thing we Slytherins and You Gryffindors are all responsible. But, I have to say, I'm not affected, I don't cry every day."

"I didn't cry." Hermione retorted unwillingly, but Jacqueline cut her off with a wave of his hand.

"Stick to what you believe, Hermione, and wait for others to apologize to you. Of course, you must have enough evidence before that to prove that what you believe is right."

"So you think I should go back to their carnival?" Hermione asked uncertainly.

"If you want to go." Jacqueline returned his eyes to the book, "If you want to stay and read the book with me, I am very welcome. As long as you know that you are going to celebrate Ge Ryffindor won instead of being angry with Ron. There's no one to be angry with you, except your parents, and you don't owe them anything."

"Thank you," said Hermione, giving Jacqueline a big hug and walking out of the classroom, "I guess I should go and congratulate Harry."

Jacqueline nodded at her and continued reading her book.
