Chapter 2563 Smoke and Mirror (twenty-nine)
Summer vacation at Scamander's is completely different from summer vacation at Lily's.
There are no refrigerators, TVs and "Cokes", but there are also things that the Muggle world does not have.
She was doing her summer homework while eating Honeyduke's licorice wand, and planned to go to Scamander's study after she finished writing this paper on transfiguration, where she kept a lot of what he saw and heard from all over the world.
But Scamander doesn't like to teach her. It is said that his Boggart is a desk full of documents. What he is most afraid of is this kind of work that has been sitting still.
Whose Boggart would be like that? Weird.
"Pomona." Tina whispered, "You have a friend here."
She looked up at Scamander's wife. Tina was taking care of her during this time, and occasionally went to the study to communicate with her.
"I don't have any friends, I mean none of them are here." Pomona said she thought there were other children in the Scamander family, but she was the only one.
"Let's go downstairs." Tina said with a smile.
Pomona looked at the thesis that was almost finished and left with Tina. They went to the basement level.
From this place, you can see the mirror-like lake water, but it is actually very deep, not like the black lake, where you can roll up your trouser legs and stand on the rocks.
"Where is that man?" Pomona asked in confusion.
"Look over there." Tina said, pointing in a direction.
She looked in the direction Tina pointed, as if there were some ripples on the water, but it disappeared after a while, and the lake became calm again.
Just when she didn't know why, and planned to ask Tina again, the water surface in that direction began to surging, and in the blink of an eye, with a "crash" sound, the horse-shaped water monster jumped up from the bottom of the lake, and the splashing water sparkled in the sun. glow.
Then she quickly spotted Sirius Black from the "hair" of the horse-shaped water monster, which was completely wet, and then he shook his head like a dog.
"Why is Blake here?" Pomona asked Tina excitedly.
"He didn't want to spend the summer at home and asked Headmaster Dumbledore to help him find a place to stay for a few days," Tina said.
This is unreasonable, if Sirius really has nowhere to go, he will go to James Potter to spend the summer with him.
At this moment, Sirius pulled the reins and let the horse-shaped water monster swim towards Scamander's house.
"Don't tell him I'm here!" said Pomona, running away with the hem of his robe in hand.
"What's the matter with you?" Tina asked.
She didn't answer Tina's question and ran away at the "speed of light".
In fact, Sirius stayed at the Scamander's house until the James Potter family returned from a vacation abroad before going to the Potter's house, where he also spotted a hippogriff, later Buckbeak.
She didn't know if Tina had told him about a "friend" who was also at the Scamander's, and she hadn't seen or spoken to Sirius during that time anyway, like she had been at school all the time. Good at doing - "invisibility".
Pomona put down his wand, and now the entire castle is safely guarded and protected, even if a wizard passes by, there is no need to worry about discovering the existence of the castle, although the place itself is hard enough to find.
She went back along the original road and glanced at the lake on the way. She didn't know if it was caused by the wind or when Kelpie was driving underwater. There were some ripples on the lake, as if there would be a water monster riding a horse at any time. The grey-eyed boy jumps out of the water.
Where are you, Sirius?
Then she thought of Peter Pedirou, who ran away. How could he live in the form of a rat for so many years?
People seem to really be able to do anything in order to survive.
After she got back to Scamander's house, she walked across the corridor to the living room, Newt Scamander had returned, and he was standing at a round table talking to Neville.
"...Ayahuasca is indeed used by dark wizards as an auxiliary drug for Imperius Curse and Legilimency, but wizards in America use it to communicate with the 'Nature Spirit', and Peruvian wizards call him the 'umbilical cord of the forest', There is something in the human body as well as in the plant..."
"What do you mean?" Neville asked Scamander in confusion.
Scamander scratched his nose, "You can understand it this way, people and plants have no way to communicate, but re-established the connection through the 'umbilical cord', you can know what they want?"
Neville still didn't understand.
But Scamander didn't know how to explain it to him.
"Do you think the potion is necessary?" Pomona said suddenly.
Neville and Scamander looked at Pomona together.
"...I, I don't know," Neville said inarticulately.
"I know you don't like Snape, you can honestly tell me what you think, Mr. Longbottom," Pomona said.
"I think it needs to exist, and if it wasn't for the decoction he made, those who were petrified by the basilisk wouldn't be able to wake up." Neville said, "I asked my grandparents and they said they didn't know there was any spell to achieve this. Effect."
"There are a lot of wizards who feel that wands and spells don't need potions, it's just superfluous, but there are also people who can't use magic and wands, like Mr. Filch, who can't use a happy spell, but he You can experience magic through the euphoria." Pomona said, "Communication with plants is a 'gift', I can feel what the plants need, they are thirsty, or they need some fertilizer, but ordinary people can't Communicate with them, the potion that Mr. Scamander just said has this ability, so that people who do not have 'talent' can temporarily have 'talent'."
"Yeah, that's it," Scamander said to Neville. "But it's not a potion, it's an herb, and Castrobusher is good at herbalism."
"Can herbs be so magical?" Neville asked.
"You're asking the wrong question, Longbottom, what's the difference between herbs and potions?" Pomona asked.
Neville was lost in thought.
"You can go to the bookshelf inside to find the answer, I have something to discuss with Mr. Scamander." Pomona said.
Neville obeyed and left, leaving Pomona and Newt in the living room.
"Where's my turtle!" Pomona asked when Neville was far away.
"That's what you wanted to say?" Newt smiled weirdly.
"No, in order to prevent the birds and snakes from Hogwarts from regenerating, I would like to ask you to exchange birds and snakes on behalf of the school." Pomona said dryly.
"You represent the school, so I have to promise you?" Newt asked rhetorically.
Pomona looked at him in shock, she didn't expect Scamander to be such a bad person.
"How about this? Take some sniffers, I'm running out of room for them," Scamander said.
"Those little thieves..." she complained, not wanting to take them back to school.
"Then I can't help you," Scamander said, turning and leaving the living room.
In the end, Pomona agreed to Scamander's request and brought the sniffers back to Hogwarts. After all, there were only two old people in the family, he and Tina, and it was not suitable for raising such energetic animals. .
But even if they are brought back to school, they are not allowed to enter the castle. There are many shiny things on the girls' headdresses. Even if these are worthless, if they are stolen, they will cause conflicts.
In addition to boyfriends and toothbrushes that cannot be shared, some jewelry cannot be shared casually.
Although tolerance is better than hatred, tolerance has a bottom line. If apologies are always useful, there will be no Unforgivable Curse.
In fact, Georgiana knew in her heart that Miss Campini had already admitted it, but she still gave herself an excuse. Bonaparte was taking care of Campini, a fellow countryman. Miss Campini said so and met Sharptar last Christmas. That female star is about the same.
If she had told Bonaparte why she had forgiven him, he would have admitted it and continued on.
She always makes excuses for herself anyway, so she looks like a complete fool.
Queenie's talent can always know what the other party is thinking, but this "talent" is not so good. It couldn't be turned on and off at will, even when she didn't want to hear it, unless she could live in isolation. However, she married a Muggle who opened a bakery. In order to marry him, she also joined Grindelwald, intending to abolish the International Secrecy Act, but the prohibition of witches and Muggles from marrying was not what the International Secrecy Act originally had. But because a descendant of the purgers leaked the secret, the Magical Congress of the United States had to enact laws and move out of its original location.
The vast majority of people are willing to be smart, not stupid...
Georgiana accidentally saw the adopted daughter of the Duchess of Alba. Seeing her, Georgiana always thinks of Rita Lestrange, a girl who lives in gossip.
Some people are really annoying and want to keep their mouths closed,
It's a pity that she can't really cast spells on her classmates like Rita, so she can only endure those whispering voices, just like when she was in class in the greenhouse, she never cared about the discipline of the children. Not really a classroom.
