Hermione's Life Model

William's assessment was indeed based on impressions.

The "Earth-Covered Heaven-Supported Ba" style is mainly associated with the House of Habsburg in Spain.

Because almost all of their wives were girls from Austria House of Habsburg.

"Uncle marrying niece," "cousin marrying cousin"... these are not uncommon occurrences in the Spain House of Habsburg.

As a result, their chin becomes increasingly protruding, and they may eventually become unable to have children, thus severing their bloodline.

The Austria House of Habsburg, however, does not have the characteristic large chin, primarily because their paternal lineage has changed.

After the death of Emperor Carl VI of Austria Habsburg, neither he nor his brother had any male heirs, and his eldest daughter Maria Theresa succeeded to the throne.

Queen Theresa married the Duke of Lorraine, and their son inherited the throne, but his surname became Habsburg -Lorraine.

From then on, the Habsburg Dynasty became the Habsburg -Lorraine dynasty.

The change in paternal lineage meant that the House of Habsburg's prominent chin was gone.

However, it is surprising that Missandei was a descendant of Princess Sisi.

If the Habsburg Dynasty still existed, she would be a legitimate eldest princess, and might even have become empress.

This also explains why she lived in the Hofburg.

This castle is their ancestral property; you don't need to buy a ticket to enter!

William didn't dwell too much on Missandei's identity.

After all, our Great Qing has fallen. What does it matter if I'm just a descendant of the House of Habsburg?

Besides, wizards don't have the Muggle concept of nobility; they only have Pure-blood families.

To paraphrase Sirius: Wizards have no nobles; they rely on their poverty to maintain their standards.

The advantage, however, is that Missandei, as a descendant of the House of Habsburg, is also a sorceress... Her position is special, and she knows where Gregorovitch is.

Otherwise, it wouldn't have been possible to buy Gregorovitch's wand even after his retirement.

After receiving the news, William and Hermione did not rush to leave.

On one hand, there's Grindelwald, who hasn't been able to find out Gregorovitch's location.

It was already past 10 p. m., and Gregorovitch lived in Salzburg, Austria, which was too far from Vienna.

The two decided to head there early the next morning and stay at the Hofburg Palace tonight.

Hmm... Relax and experience a royal-level living environment.

Missandei found two rooms for William and Hermione to stay in.

William was also taken aback when he entered the room.

As expected of a royal palace, the rooms are extremely luxurious. Compared to this, the Ministry of Magic's quarters can be described as simple.

The walls and ceiling of the Entrance Hall are made of dark-colored bricks, and a huge painting by Paul Gauguin hangs on the walls.

Paul Gauguin was a leading painter of the France Symbolist movement in the late 19th century, and he had a tremendous influence on the development of contemporary painting.

In short, this is a very expensive painting.

The room also features a very elegant reading area, a small exercise area, a private bathtub, and a dining room.

Everything you could possibly need is here.

The bedroom is at the far end of the room, furnished with an antique four-poster bed, a cherry wood wardrobe, and a built-in five-drawer chest.

After touring for a while, William went to the dining room and started getting something to eat.

He hasn't eaten since he went to Nurmengard last night.

Just as he was preparing the food, Hermione quietly pushed open the door and sneaked in.

"Missandei went back?" William asked, looking up.

"Yes, she was just chatting with me, and she even said that if someone is scared, they can sleep with her."

Hermione entered the room, blushing, and said, "But I refused."

After rejecting Missandei, Hermione did feel the room was empty and a little scared, so she went to find... William.

Yes, that makes sense!

"Please sit down. I was just about to call you for dinner," William said with a gentle smile.

William, with his back to Hermione, was warming wine, the aroma of which wafted through the air.

Hungry Hermione sniffed hard, a smile spreading across her face. She washed her hands, settled comfortably into a chair, and watched the boy busy at work.

She loves this warm and cozy scene; it looks just like home.

William snapped his fingers, and the food floated onto the table.

He sat down next to the girl and poured her a glass of piping hot rice wine.

Hermione picked up a spoon and fork, not caring about her image, and wolfed down her food. After finishing that glass of wine, she ordered two more.

A slight buzzing of intoxication soon set in.

Hermione turned to look at William, whose face was radiant in the lamplight.

She asked softly:

"William, do you think Grindelwald sought out Gregorovitch? Was it really just to make a wand?"

"I've thought about it for a long time, and it might be because of the Elder Wand," William said calmly.

Hermione held the wine glass gently against her burning cheek and asked doubtfully, "The Elder Wand... didn't you always think it was in Dumbledore's hands?"

I recommend an app that rivals the old version of the popular book tracker, with a wide selection of books and the ability to switch sources!

All signs indicate that the Elder Wand is indeed in Dumbledore's possession.

Given the principal's age, his abilities had already declined significantly, but William knew he was still terrifyingly strong.

And Hagrid's broken wand Reparo by Dumbledore.

but...

"Ollivander once told Cedric a rumor," William said.

"Rumor?"

"Yes, many older wandmakers know that," William said softly. "Many years ago, Gregorovitch claimed to possess the Elder Wand."

"Furthermore, the wands made by Gregorovitch are indeed more powerful than ordinary wands when using offensive magic."

Gregorovitch, one of the three great wand makers in Europe, has always been on par with Ollivander.

He can be considered the Northern Qiao Feng and Southern Murong in the Wizarding World.

William had never met the wandmaker, but that didn't stop him from hearing about the master's story from Cedric.

William once asked him who was better, Gregorovitch or Ollivander.

Cedric replied: He also asked Mr. Ollivander about this issue.

According to Ollivander:

In terms of the compatibility between the wand and the wizard, he was undoubtedly at the pinnacle, but in terms of the power of the wand's offensive magic, Gregorovitch was superior.

Even Ollivander said so, which shows that the rumors weren't entirely unfounded.

"As for how the wand ended up in Dumbledore's hands, that's unclear."

But I'm certain that Grindelwald's search for Gregorovitch is related to the Elder Wand.

William noticed that Hermione was getting sleepy, so he said:

"We have to travel tomorrow morning, you should go take a shower first, I've already prepared the water."

Hermione nodded, yawned widely, and then walked toward the small bathtub in the room.

William got up to clean up the food, but after he finished, Hermione still hadn't come out of the bathroom.

Feeling uneasy, he pushed open the wooden door, which was only slightly ajar.

The bathroom was filled with steam, and a pool was filled with clear hot water.

Hermione was naked and sitting in the water, but she was already asleep.

She rested her face on her arm, revealing a section of her smooth, white shoulder and a patch of white breasts.

The scenery is picturesque and enchanting.

It was truly beautiful under the soft moonlight.

William admired the view for a while, then took off his shoes and, without bothering to put on his clothes, went straight into the pool.

He embraced Hermione's bare back and legs, and lifted her out of the water.

As they approached the bedroom, Hermione was shaken awake. She slowly opened her eyes and looked at William, only then realizing that she had fallen asleep.

William looked down at the expanse of white skin and teased, "You can keep sleeping. I'll just watch."

Hermione's face flushed red, and she was panting heavily. Suddenly, she reached out, grabbed William's ear, and twisted it hard.

William didn't say anything, but retaliated by squeezing her lower body with both hands.

Hermione's body was sensitive, and in an instant she went limp as a board, lying helplessly in his arms.

William went to the bedroom and placed the girl on the four-poster bed.

She wouldn't let go, still clinging to William's neck, her breath soft and sweet. "Still thinking about the nude model?"

William paused for a moment, then chuckled and said, "You've been jealous for quite a while now."

The girl, her ears flushed red and her eyes glazed, said, "You can only be my nude model!"

Hermione pulled his head down, pressing it between her soft breasts.
