MTL - Harry Potter’s Morning Light-Chapter 10 Cursed post
Chapter 10 The Cursed Position
"Excuse me, let me give you a hand." In the middle of the banquet, Pete moved over from the upper grade side with the plate. This situation is not uncommon at Hefpaff's table, relatively speaking in the high-levels. Lettering would never happen.
"I can't believe it." As soon as Pete sat down, Pomona complained, "You didn't even come to see me?"
Pomona herself almost forgot about the dispute half a month ago, but Pete was so stingy that she was unwilling to send her to the station, and even after getting on the train, he did not come to visit. The other people’s brothers and sisters would at least be able to come in person. Ask the prefect to express condolences, but Pete treats her as if she disappeared.
"Don't be like a child, Pomona." Pete's slinger said politely. "It's just a train to Hogwarts. I believe you can do it."
She used a fork to stab the pie on the plate as if it were Pete’s face.
"Look at the main guest seat." Pete leaned into Pomona's ear and said, "See the man on Dumbledore's right hand? He is our teacher, Quentin Trimble, in the Dark Arts class this year."
Pomona has heard of him. He is the author of "Dark Force". There is an entry-level "Dark Force: Guide to Self-Defense" for sale in Lihen Bookstore, but there is a higher level in the study of Mrs. Sprout's house. book of. He looked like a scholar, with curly hair all over his head, dressed in a star-studded dark blue wizard robe, and talked happily with Dumbledore.
"Tom Riddle asked Dumbledore for a position as a professor of dark arts and art when he graduated, but Dumbledore rejected him. It is said that he cast a curse on that position and no one can hold on for more than a year." Pete Deliberately lowered his voice to scare him, "Remember the crying Myrtle in the women's toilet on the second floor that I told you about? She is the dead Muggle witch."
"What have you heard?"
"The freshman who was sitting next to me just now told me that someone at the dock asked about this, and that person seemed to be called..."
"James Potter."
"Yes, it's him. He is a boy from the Potter family. If I were you, stay away from him."
"Why?" It's understandable to stay away from Seelis Black and Pomona, but James Potter?
"The only child of a wealthy family, his parents died early, living with his grandparents, do you know what that means?"
Pomona shook her head.
"He is a spoiled son, and he looks good. I hope you don’t go around him like a silly girl."
"Stay away from me, before I smash this pie on your face." Pomona warned with a calm face.
"I heard that he is very good at Quidditch, just like his father. It is precisely because Quidditch he and the eldest son of the Black family are good." Pete forced her head to the Slytherin long table." Staying with those faces, next time you see it in the hallway, you have to stay away, especially Bella Black. The boys in Slytherin don’t treat girls well, but the girls do. There was a Hefpaff’s last year. Muggle girls are forced to drop out of school. I can’t come to rescue you anytime, anywhere."
"I am not a Muggle species."
"But you are a veel mixed blood. Ruber Hager, the murderer accused of killing Myrtle back then, is a mixed blood giant. He was broken by an angry student with his wand. People who lose their minds are terrible. I hope you don’t suffer that kind of harm. ."
"Why didn't you tell me when you were at home?" Pomona put down her fork, she has lost her appetite.
"Oh, remember who always told me to go to Busbarton to study? You can't always use disguise magic, at least not when you sleep. I have helped you adjust the dormitory, and the girls in your dormitory are both It's my friend's sister, they can all be trusted, but you have to put away your willful temper, Merlin's beard, where did you learn this bad problem?"
"Where am I headstrong?"
But Pete still shook his head unreasonably. "After the dinner, the freshman in the first grade will leave with the prefect. I can’t accompany you. The female prefect’s name is Angel Digo. Remember what I told you about Hefpaff. What is Article 6 of the Code of Conduct?"
"Keep smiling, and be expressionless if you are really angry." Pomona said with Pete, expressionless.
"Laugh and have a look."
Pomona forced a smirk.
"Very good." Pete squeezed Pomona's face. "Don't forget, adapting to the environment is our strength. There are four people living in a dormitory. The other three people besides you are Mary Locke, Susan Dupin and Jenny. Wesley, they all like flowers. They will be very happy if you can keep the flowers in full bloom in the bedroom."
"Why?" Pomona felt wronged. How did she go to school like the house elf.
"Tolerance is our trait, pretending to be stupid is our method, taking a small loss and taking a big advantage." Pete flicked her eyebrows, "Aren't you good at plant magic?"
Pomona touched where she was shot, and lowered her head in silence.
"Remember, don't try the badger's sharp teeth. If they bully you, tell me that I will protect you before graduation."
While talking, the banquet came to an end, the food on the table quickly disappeared, and the dining room was silent again, when Dumbledore stood up.
"Okay, I think everyone has enough food and drink. I want to say a few more words to everyone. First-year freshmen pay attention. The woods on campus are forbidden to students. Then there will be Quidditch player selections this semester. It will be held in the second week. Anyone who is interested in joining the college team, please contact Mrs. Hodge. Finally, I must tell you that studying at Hogwarts will be an unforgettable experience in your life. I hope you will cherish this wonderful time. Don’t bring the contradictions outside the school to the school. Now, before everyone goes to bed, let us sing the school song together!"
Dumbledore waved his magic wand, and a long gold ribbon floated out of the wand, winding lines of text on the high dining table.
"Everyone chooses their favorite tune, prepares, and sings!"
So all the students in the school sang. The sound was like a wolf howling at midnight.
Pomona began to understand why Hogwarts' results would be the bottom of the three academies.
When everyone had finished singing the school song, Dumbledore announced that everyone would go to bed in the dormitory, and the senior students had left. Only two male and female prefects remained. They were all dressed in Hefpaff's gowns. Covered with wizard robes. Pomona watched Angie Digo carefully. She was a tall girl with a ruddy complexion, and her straight brown hair was very smoothly managed. Although she was not as beautiful as Slytherin's female senior Bella Black, she did not feel so beautiful. very gentle.
"Are you full?" This was the first sentence she said. The freshmen looked at each other, and many people chose to shake their heads.
"Then let's go to the kitchen for a round before returning to the lounge, George." She said to the male prefect, "Anyway, let's drop in."
"I listen to you." The male prefect has a good temper and agrees.
Through their interaction, Pomona suddenly understood that Hefpaff’s real power is women. What is the saying? A happy wife, a happy life, and it is clearly stated in the college code to "love women".
Ah, I'm so lucky to be a Hefpuff girl.
She sighed from the bottom of her heart.
