MTL - Harry Potter’s Morning Light-Chapter 2727 Land of the Firebirds (35)
Chapter 2727 Firebird Land (Thirty-five)
Muggle's New Year begins on January 1 of the solar calendar, which is determined by the earth's revolution around the sun, while wizard's New Year begins on Halloween.
It marks the official end of summer and the official beginning of winter. The king of the forest changes from an oak tree to a holly. At the same time, the dead souls of the dead will return to their former homes on this day to celebrate the autumn harvest with the living.
In the past, there was only a big meal on Halloween, and occasionally there would be a choir performance. After eating and drinking, everyone went back to the dormitory to sleep, but this rule changed again after Harry Potter entered school.
In the first year, the troll entered the school, Quirrell yelled in the auditorium, and the children screamed in terror.
The second year was blood on the wall and a petrified Mrs. Loris.
Third year was Sirius Blake, and even without the Skeleton Cabaret, the festival was pretty "fantastic".
Then came Halloween in the fourth year, which happened to be the day for the selection of the "champion" of the triwizard competition. Originally, according to the normal process, after the selection of the contestants, it was time to eat a big meal. Who would have thought of a fourth "champion"? The kitchen prepared No one was in the mood to eat the big meal, but these dishes were not thrown away.
There are 4 dragons coming to Hogwarts. The dragon trainers and Aurors who are responsible for transporting the dragons have come from afar. The food just replenishes their exhausted physical strength.
The purpose of pickling food is to prolong the shelf life of food. It happens that during the pickling process, it has a different flavor from fresh food. The reason for food spoilage is because of the decomposition of microorganisms and enzymes, it just becomes inedible for humans.
Using freezing can also delay the process of food deterioration, but it does not stop, but becomes very slow.
Wine doesn’t always get better with age. Beer should be drunk fresh. The more stable the fermented substances, the better the taste. Adding **** to butterbeer gives the sweetness a spicy punch that's a bit like a booze, and Pomona is a personal favorite.
After finishing the first mission, the four dragons need to return to Romania. It is difficult to transport them back, but not on the dragons. Anyway, they will stay relatively quiet after drinking the sleep potion.
"Passy said that I can stay until the end of the third mission, and he will replace Crouch as the fifth referee." Charlie happily said to Hagrid, "So I don't have to go back in such a hurry."
"I heard from Ludo Bagman that Fudge will personally replace Crouch as the referee." Snape said while buttoning his coat in front of the mirror, "In order to prevent any accidents from happening again, any unrelated matters related to the third game No one is allowed to stay in the school."
That is to say, Charlie is going to leave immediately, but Patsy has already made a promise to his family, which caused Passy to be nervous and anxious. Every time Pomona saw him, he would frown.
At this moment Snape got dressed and came to sit by her bed.
"Don't leave the castle if you don't have to." He told her as if telling a child, "I can keep Bagman out, but you can't do it if you send it to the door, remember?"
She nodded quickly.
His hand brushed her hair, caressing her cheek.
Just when she thought he didn't intend to leave before dawn, he suddenly stood up, opened the door, and then closed it with a "bang".
She couldn't help rolling her eyes.
"The door is closed so loudly that I am not afraid of being heard."
Then she covered her head with a quilt. She still had three months to set up the maze. The current situation is that nothing has started there. She should have been as nervous and anxious as Patsy and couldn't sleep.
But she closed her eyes and quickly fell asleep, as if she had taken a dreamless sleep potion.
But although Severus can block Ludo Bagman and other outsiders who want to inquire about the news, he can't do anything to insiders. After the Weasley twins cured their "beard problem", they quickly started a game in school and listed the odds, just like Ludo Bagman did at the Quidditch World Cup.
Pomona wanted to avoid them, but also wanted to find a solution in a place where no one would disturb her, so she went to the dungeon.
The underground city designed by Salazar Slytherin has sculptures of snakes everywhere, and only the Hall of Hieroglyphs is decorated with jackals.
When Albus was a young man, he used to go to Cairo for an alchemy convention, so much so that he missed his mother's funeral.
Then she remembered that she hadn't told Dumbledore about the discovery of the dungeon.
"He wanted to quit, and he told Fudge that's what a wise leader should do." Severus said with a contemptuous smile, "If he uses tactics, the purpose is to keep Fudge going If it goes on, I have a little respect for him."
Pomona listened absentmindedly, slipping his fingers to where his navel was, as any mammal would have.
Although black vine water is called the umbilical cord of the forest, the forest is not a mammal, it is conceived and nourished by the mother.
This symbiotic relationship is not mutually beneficial, and there is even a certain danger. When the blood type of the fetus is different from that of the mother, hemolysis will occur.
Generally speaking, the probability of first-born illness is very low, but it is not zero. Generally speaking, the baby will be more affected than the mother, with severe anemia, heart failure and even stillbirth.
But another possibility is not ruled out, the baby is stronger than the mother, just like the mysterious man and the woman who gave birth to him in the orphanage and named him Tom Marvolo Riddle.
If she can intervene early, she may still be saved, but she may not have the knowledge in this area. There are also doctors in Diagon Alley who see the doctor for free. Although it is not official like the Knight Bus, she does not know the information in this regard. , did not look at it, which led to irreparable consequences.
She should have been very busy, not only the maze, but also the lifting spell that made it float, but what is she doing now?
"Do you like it?" he said in a relaxed and tired voice.
She felt as if she had soaked into the soft and fluffy feathers, and she was about to float.
"We can't do this." She said delicately.
He was unimpressed.
"If you lie down like this, you will be late."
He glanced at the bright sun outside, picked up her pocket watch to check the time, and then turned over.
Pomona was very envious of the students at this time. They could ask for leave freely, but if the teacher asked for leave, who would come to class?
"I can find someone to help you with the class." He said while getting dressed.
"How can I do that!" She said weakly, "This is so irresponsible!"
"She is short of money, you can give her the substitute tuition fee." Snape said, "She is good at herbal medicine, and she is also a member of the Order of the Phoenix."
Her head is a little confused.
"Do you think a few people put their minds on study this semester."
"What about this afternoon?" She said pitifully.
"Hold on." He stretched out his hand and pulled her up.
She muttered, reluctantly started to tidy up herself, at least he was very gentle to her, there should be no problem except for being a little tired.
He didn't leave immediately after getting dressed, and when it was her turn to dress, he walked behind her and did her a little favor, closing the zipper on the back. Then he put his nose on her neck and gasped for air, which tickled her so much.
Then she looked up and saw the reflection of the two in the mirror, exactly as she saw in the Mirror of Erised.
"Do you think it's possible?" she asked.
"What?" He whispered in her ear.
"Use the Philosopher's Stone to create a new body." Pomona touched her belly, "Would such a body have a navel?"
She turned her head and looked into his eyes.
"Do you think that's a human, or a humunculus?"
He smiled at her.
"I go first."
Then she took big steps and left her office.
