Hogwarts of a certain magic

Chapter 496 St. Mark's Cathedral hasn't ringed the bell yet!

You can search for "a magical Hogwarts novel (www.soxscc.com)" in Baidu to find the latest chapter!Santa Lucia Railway Station is the only railway station on the main island of Venice.

It is a low building, gray stone and concrete, revealing a unique elegance.

The railway station is designed in a minimalist style, with a beautiful facade without any logo, only one symbol.

——Flying FS two letters.

It represents the logo of the Italian national railway system.

The rain is torrential,

Holding an umbrella, William and Hermione walked out of the train station and broke into the misty water capital.

First of all, the rich salty and moist taste is coming to the face.William felt... the smell of the sea in an instant.

It’s not shallow seas, but deep seas!

Even with such heavy rain, the square at the exit of the station is still full of vendors selling strange souvenirs.

Like most tourist cities, these things may be wholesaled from the same place.

The air is still mixed with a pungent diesel smell.It is the smell of those watercraft's engines when idling.

They lined up in long lines on the Grand Canal at high tide.Just like the taxi brother at the exit of the Tianchao Railway Station in the past.

Even the action lines are the same. Dozens of captains waved to tourists and shouted in Italian and other languages:

The Governor's Mansion is missing!Hurry up, only one short!Hey, get in the car and leave!"

After going up, you will probably find that it is not just one person, but you.

It's not about getting in the car and leaving, but waiting for "one minute"...and then leaving.

This "one" is a function word, generally greater than ten.

So, don't look at Venice, there are no cars, no black car drivers, but black car captains blocking waterways... everywhere.

There are also a lot of tourists in line. The city has the largest number of tourists, not Venetians.

Too lazy to wait in the heavy rain, William rented a beautiful gondola directly after spending a lot of money.

The gondola is a black flat-bottomed boat with gorgeous decorations. The two sides are high-turned to present a crescent-shaped, hook-shaped bow, which can easily explore the height of the bridge.

This unique Venetian pointed boat has a history of more than a thousand years.It has always been a means of transportation for the Venetians living on the lagoon.

The driver of the boat is a woman in her twenties.It looks cool, wrapped in black leather clothes.

She is slender, with a dark hedgehog head, full of wild beauty.

"My name is Tereni Shad!" she said, and winked at William as she welcomed William and Hermione on board.

William is fifteen years old and has used the converter for several months. He is very tall.

But the woman in front of her was a head taller than him.

"Wine? Lemonade? Champagne?"

Realizing that the two are probably underage, Tereni added: "Or ice-cola?"

"Nothing, thank you." William said in Italian.

He is proficient in French, and Italian, French, Spanish, Portuguese... these languages ​​belong to the Romance language family.

Although the pronunciation is completely different from the overall language, or even completely opposite.But the grammar system is basically the same, and the similarity rate of many words is also very high.

I am proficient in French and cannot learn Italian very quickly, but it is still easy to master some everyday language.

"Are you from France?" Treni asked in French."I went to Paris last year and I can hear a little Parisian accent."

"No, Britain."

"Then your French must be very good." Treney said in English again.

William looked at her in surprise, a boatman who is proficient in three languages?

"It's just a little bit." Trinity raised the hedgehog's head and smiled:

"It's nothing. Venice is full of foreign tourists. Only if you know a little bit of everything can you attract people."

William nodded slightly.But it still feels incredible.

"Hey, if you don't mind, can I be your tour guide in Venice?" Treney licked her sexy lips.

"I know this city well... it's free, and it's free anyway."

Seeing her staring at William, Hermione rolled her eyes and couldn't help but interrupt:

"Excuse me, can we be sent to St. Mark's Basilica as soon as possible?"

This kind of scene is not the first time I have seen each other, and there are many girls who even want to go with me along the way.186 Chinese Network www.186zwxs.com

"Of course, let's go!" Tereni finally turned her gaze away from William.

She looked at Hermione and chuckled softly:

"My gondola is the fastest boat in Venice!"

She deftly dumped the ship off the shore.Then, he turned the steering wheel to the right, kicked the accelerator, and passed through a group of gondolas.

William then discovered that Tereni had added an engine to the boat instead of relying on the oars.

"Advance with the times, or you will be eliminated." She increased the throttle.

The sudden acceleration of the gondola stirred up a lot of water, and it splashed on several gondola boatmen in striped shirts.

They raised their middle fingers rudely at Tereni.

"I'm sorry!" Tereni laughed and whistled provocatively.

After a few seconds, they drove off the crowded waterway in front of the train station and galloped south along the Grand Canal.

...

...

Piazza San Marco is located at the southernmost point of the Grand Canal in Venice.

This is also one of the most famous buildings in the city.

Sitting in the stern of the boat, William looked up at the coastline ahead. There was a small park with verdant trees by the water.

Above the tree tops, against the backdrop of the blue sky, the red brick spire of the bell tower of San Marco towers into the clouds.

At the top is a golden archangel Gabriel, looking down from a dizzying height of three hundred feet.

It is not without reason that Napoleon once called St. Mark's Square "the living room of Europe".

William said to Treney: "Can the boat stop as close as possible to St. Mark's Square?"

"No problem!" Treney waved her hand, as the old driver saw stitches in the densely packed boats.

When the ship approached the berth, a group of people gathered in front of the palace.These people crowded on a bridge, all pointing to a narrow canal that divided the Governor's Mansion in two.

"It's the Bridge of Sighs!" Hermione's eyes sparkled.

The Bridge of Sighs is one of the most famous attractions in Venice and a must-visit place for couples.

According to the legend of Venice:

If two lovers kiss under this bridge when the bells of St. Mark's Basilica ring, they will love each other forever.

"Need to go? Miss?" There was teasing in Tereni's voice.

"No!" Hermione shook her head firmly without thinking.

"Why not?" Tereni joked: "I thought you two were lovers."

William looked at the girl too.

Hermione looked at the bridge with her cheeks in a daze.After a while, he blushed and murmured:

"San Marco's Basilica...has not yet ringed the bell."

The ship docked slowly.

William jumped over first, followed by Hermione, and he reached out and hugged her and stood firm on the shore.

"Sir, am I waiting for you here?" Tereni said enthusiastically.

"No, we can't get out temporarily, goodbye."

William took Hermione's hand and walked towards St. Mark's Cathedral.

This year's Wizarding Union Conference will be held here.However, the meeting will not start until a few days.

They need to get something for Dumbledore first.

Tereni watched the two of them leave. She fell backward, lying straight on the chair, raising her legs, and taking out a newspaper from her pocket.

She squinted her eyes carefully.

The headline of the newspaper, with a photo of the event:

It was William and Hermione.
