Chapter 1126 Devil within

After the Triwizard Tournament started, many guests came to the castle, but Severus' childish desire for revenge showed no signs of restraining at all.

He originally thought that after experiencing Remus, Albus would never be able to find a new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, but Alastor Moody jumped out at this time and ruined his "good thing" again.

"New and old grudges" combined, poor Neville replaced Harry as Snape's primary target of revenge. He could always easily find an excuse in Potions class to make him better at melting cauldrons.

Neville, who was not brewing the potion, was left in solitary confinement.

It was only after the incident that Pomona heard from Hufflepuff's children that Neville had been detained by Snape and dissected a large bucket of horned toads.

So she threw away the spatula, left the kitchen, walked menacingly towards the Slytherin cellar with heavy steps.

While passing by the Great Hall, she met the Gray Lady, the ghost of Ravenclaw.

Helena nodded to Pomona reservedly and proudly, as if this was considered a greeting to her.

Most of the ghosts in Hogwarts are pearly white, such as Nearly Headless Nick and the Fat Friar, but there are some special ones.

For example, the colorful Peeves, the bloody Barrow, and Helena, the ghost of Ravenclaw. She is one of the very few ghosts who continues to study and study after death.

The reason why Helena is nicknamed "The Gray Lady" is because she is grayer than the ordinary pearl-white ghost, and what makes her different may be her strong thirst for knowledge.

If one day, human beings can really gain the ability to live forever, but the price will be to lose all senses of smell, taste and touch.

When your lover touches you and you have no reaction, and delicious food is placed in front of you, and you cannot smell or taste anything, will you still choose eternal life?

On Halloween two years ago, Nearly Headless Nick, the ghost of Gryffindor, invited Harry, Ron and Hermione to attend his death anniversary party. After the fat monk came back, he described the scene to her, and Barrow should also tell her.

Severus, because he also attended the party at that time, the table was full of food that was infested with maggots or smelly, but as ghosts, they couldn't feel anything.

The history class taught by Professor Binns was lifeless because he was already dead and it was difficult to imagine that he was an interesting person when he was alive.

The only thing they can enjoy is the fun of dancing to the music. At the death anniversary dinner, all the ghosts with dance partners are dancing. The fat monk saw Slytherin's ghost Bloody Barrow staying alone on the dance floor, and Ravenc

Law's ghost, the Gray Lady, didn't attend the death anniversary ball again.

Perhaps in Helena's eyes, attending dance parties is a waste of time. Even if she becomes a ghost, she has unlimited time to study.

Curiosity is also a desire. Even if she loses other feelings, Helena can still continue to study at Hogwarts.

Pomona had lived in Hogwarts for so many years, and except for the first-year party and Halloween, Pomona had never seen the two of them appear on the same occasion.

It was like the Gray Lady was avoiding him on purpose.

The two of them should be the earliest students at Hogwarts. I heard that Rowena was still alive when Helena left with the Ravenclaw diadem.

Regarding her daughter's betrayal, Rowena's choice was just like other foolish mothers who shield their children, and she did not make it public.

It's just that Rowena wanted to see Helena before she died, so she ordered Barrow to find Helena back.

I heard that the Slytherin ghost who often sang at the observatory was a grumpy man when he was alive.

He loves Helena and hates her at the same time.

Helena chose fame and wisdom over men and love. She abandoned everything, stayed away from Hogwarts, and continued her research in the Albanian forest to realize her wish and become more powerful than Rowena.

famous person.

Barrow finally found her in the jungle of Albania, and then killed her in an extremely irrational manner. He will be shackled for the next thousand years to atone for the sin he committed on impulse.

.

Souls who commit suicide will go to hell. Barrow did not go to hell to receive punishment, but he often had to look at the woman who turned him into this from a distance.

Pomona had never been to hell, so she didn't know which of these punishments was more painful.

Love is the most suitable weapon for women, but it is not "solid" after all. Helena is helpless against Barrow's dagger. The unarmed Gray Lady stabbed an invisible sharp blade into Barrow's heart,

After she died, Barrow came to his senses. He picked up the dagger that had pierced Helena's chest and pierced his own chest.

Finally, her hard-earned blood dripped into his heart, as if one heart merged with another.

The love story between these two ghosts was no less bloody than the wizard's heart, and she didn't think a group of ignorant kids would understand this kind of feeling.

"Mercy" does not mean that a girl must respond to every suitor's advances. Helena rejects Barro, and he can find someone else.

Socrates said that being rejected by a lover means that she gives the suitor a chance to find happiness again. Barrow can remove his identity as Helena's fiancé, leave Hogwarts, and pursue the freedom he wants.

This story does not have much educational significance. It is more likely to make the girls who listen to the story fear that all boys are like Barrow, who will kill people out of love because of love when they cannot get love. It will also make the boys who listen to the story think that all girls are like Hai.

Lian Na is also obsessed with fame and wealth, and is cold and ruthless.

Or worse, the little wizards would scream and run away like Muggles when they saw these two ghosts, so she would rather keep this secret. Anyway, they will leave this castle after seven years and move on with their lives. Regardless.

Whether they are teachers or ghosts, they are all passers-by in their lives.

Just when she was getting ready and ready to continue heading to the cellar, Moody on crutches came towards her with clattering footsteps.

When it became increasingly difficult to find a Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher, she once thought about hiring a ghost to guide the students. After all, there was already a ghost teaching history, and the ghost was already dead, so there should be no need to worry about Voldemort's curse.

Already.

Unfortunately, the fat monk told her to give up this idea.

"The mysterious man is a very scary person, even for a dead ghost." The fat monk said in shock, with a face full of horror, "I will never forget those eyes."

Pomona had only seen Voldemort once from a distance, and she had never seen what he looked like up close.

"What does he look like?"

She asked out of curiosity.

"He was very handsome when he was a student." The fat monk said. "Later, Dumbledore became the principal, and the mysterious man came back to apply for the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor. His eyes seemed to be bloodshot, and they were blood red."

Pomona has seen many dark wizards, but not all of them are like Voldemort, whose eyes turn blood red.

But you can see the evil and darkness in their eyes, as well as their disregard for life and their indifference to their crimes.

It is as if they are not afraid of going to hell to be punished, and they do not need forgiveness from anyone or God, because they have already forgiven themselves.

Pomona subconsciously avoided Moody's evil eye. She didn't know if Polyjuice Potion could hide from his eyes.

Not long after he passed her by, Pomona met Severus again.

His face was gloomy, and his whole body exuded a negative and gloomy aura, like a walking scurvy that brought negative emotions wherever he went.

"What's wrong with you!" Pomona said angrily.

"What?" Severus frowned and sounded very impatient.

"If you don't want to sit at the same table as Moody, you can go somewhere else!" Pomona cleverly changed her words.

The old bat is in a bad mood now, and telling him about Neville at this time will only be counterproductive, and Neville will be made even worse by Severus.

"I didn't!" Old Bat denied, turning around and trying to go around her.

"Are you afraid that he will capture you?" Pomona blocked his way without fear. "In order to prove that you are not guilty, you forced yourself to sit at the same table with him to eat?"

"It has nothing to do with you." He tried to take a detour from the other side, but was blocked by Pomona again.

"There are people coming and going, what do you want to do?" Severus hissed threateningly.

"I worked hard to grow and prepare that food." Pomona put her hands on her waist and said confidently, "I won't allow you to waste food!"

"I didn't." He said every word. "Do you want me to lick the plate clean too?"

"You haven't enjoyed the food at all." She said expressionlessly, "Even if you finish everything on the plate, it's still a waste."

"Unreasonable." He wanted to push her away.

"You can come to my place." She sighed helplessly, "Just like when you are usually late for experiments."

Severus stopped and seemed to hesitate for a second.

"Just think of it as saving the appetite of all of us and agree to it!"

The old bat took long strides and walked directly past her.

She looked back at his back and opened her mouth, but still no words came out.

"Also, I want to ask you who you want to bring to the Christmas party." After his figure disappeared at the door of the auditorium, she said in a voice that only she could hear.

She didn't really want to go to the dance with the old fool.

And Albus may not agree to her request, because Minerva doesn't have a dance partner either.

"Hi, Pomona!" Felivi walked towards her cheerfully, holding a roll of parchment.

"You have a new work, Filius?" Pomona said with a smile.

"I want to know how you arranged the venue for the ball."

"You know what this does?"

"Live concerts are held on site."

"So?" Pomona asked confused.

"The wonder of the scene is that you can never predict what scene you will see in the next second. I don't want the musicians to get away with improvising on their own at such an important dance."

Pomona still didn't understand. Her understanding of music was the background sound while working.

"Don't worry, I'll explain it to you slowly." The headmaster of Ravenclaw said patiently.
