Chapter 162 Double Trouble(1/2)
The Black family's mansion was filled with everything Severus wanted, knowledge, wealth, fame, and women, but he couldn't stay here much longer. The Ministry of Magic's traces on underage wizards were easy to crack, and Black
The devil's situation is not that simple. He can only come during meetings and stay on the first floor. Others will at least have something to eat after the meeting before leaving, but he never eats here, as if he is deeply afraid of being here.
As if she were delayed a moment longer, Pomona, who is good at food magic, lost her interest in cooking. Molly and other female club members were responsible for cooking. She was mainly responsible for washing dishes and cleaning the meeting room. Every time they finished a meeting
There were a lot of cigarette ashes and cigarette butts in the room.
The only place in the Blake family that made people feel relaxed and happy was the kitchen, but Mengtonlins often smoked in the kitchen. Molly hated him, and Pomona didn't like him either. Every time he appeared, she would hide and look for food.
Rhys, or simply go back to his room, and now Pomona and Hermione are staying in the kitchen, which has been dusty since it hasn't been lived in for several years, while Severus Snape is wandering around the house like it's a treasure hunt.
.
Mundungus joined the Order of the Phoenix for the inheritance of the Black family. He entered Grimmauld 12 to steal, but what he stole were mostly jewelry and the like. Severus Snape wanted the Black family.
The secret of the family. After Hermione broke into the old house with her Death Eaters, those Death Eaters swarmed to hunt her down and helped him find the way. This house full of dark magic caused all kinds of damage, and the Black family's
The history can be traced back to the Middle Ages. Most of the Black family members practice black magic. For the dark wizard, entering this terrifying house is like returning home. He is too late to be happy, so why would he feel horrible?
"You've got yourself into big trouble, Pomona." Hermione lowered her voice when speaking to her. She had to speak softly in the Black Mansion. The twins disapparated loudly, and the more skillfully they became, the quieter they became. At least
They know that this is a sound made by magic and will not wake up sleeping things. "You must have never seen this side of him."
"I've seen it," Pomona said, clutching her chest in fear, "but it's not me who made him angry."
Usually it was Harry or Neville, the saviors, who annoyed him. Pomona only needed to make sarcastic comments or "fairly persuade" when he complained. Now the person responsible for persuading him was in trouble himself.
Anger will only grow stronger if no one quenches it.
She's finished.
Pomona only had this thought in her mind at the moment, and her intuition was indeed accurate.
"Now you know why everyone is so afraid of him."
Pomona nodded repeatedly.
Severus was always very polite to his teachers. He was the least qualified among the deans of the four houses. Even after becoming the principal, he just let the Carrow brothers and sisters do what they wanted. He did not issue many educational orders like Umbridge, nor did he
Joining the Carrow brothers and sisters, he controlled himself very well. In order to complete the mission left by Dumbledore, now he lost control. What's worse is that no one can protect her, and she only has Hermione Granger.
"Don't look at me like that." Hermione shook her head and rejected Pomona's look for help. "You asked for it. How can someone with a boyfriend be so close to another boy?"
"Sirius and I are friends."
"In my opinion, you two are very ambiguous. I thought you had a past."
"Oh, that's not the case!" Pomona covered her head, annoyed.
"I hoped Ron would invite me to the senior prom. At that time, I thought we were friends. Later, when I saw him and Lavender together, I actually called a girl a stupid bitch. I didn't even know I was
What's the matter? Dumbledore tried to restore Sirius's reputation, but Fudge ruined him even more after Christmas in his fifth year. I remember he asked you to be his dance partner at his first social event again, right? Christmas
On Christmas Day, Dumbledore said that the professor had gone to attend a Death Eater party. In fact, he had gone to jail and assassinate him. The Ministry of Magic staff member who died at St. Mungo's attracted the attention of the Aurors, and they waited until they noticed
By the time Bellatrix had escaped from prison, Sirius was very annoyed that they could not sit at the same table at that time. Dumbledore arranged for him to be on duty in another safe house to avoid him and Snake.
Professor Pugh met him, so Harry came out of the fireplace in Umbridge's office and met Sirius." Hermione sighed, "Fred said they almost killed each other, and you met Sirius later during the meeting.
Will Professor Pu and Sirius appear at the same table?"
"No." Pomona said expressionlessly. She didn't expect anyone to fight for her. It felt silly.
"You didn't feel anything strange when you taught Fred and George how to apparate?"
Pomona shook her head. She was not a professional Apparition teacher. She just thought the twins were smart and learned quickly. Fred often performed fireworks for her. She felt very happy, even if she couldn't see him.
Life can get by.
"Why didn't I think of using an age-enhancing agent?" Hermione said in annoyance, as if she hadn't thought of it being a shameful thing. "Ron mentioned to me that Dumbledore hoped that George and Fred would take his place.
Mundungus, that man is different from us. He is responsible for providing intelligence and detective work to the Order of the Phoenix in the lower classes of the wizarding world, but he is very greedy. George and the others open a trick shop, and Harry will use the prize money from the Triwizard Tournament.
I gave it to them, but unlike the condiment shop, the products in the trick shop were not made purely for fun. Ron also didn’t let me get involved in these things. I thought that after the war was over, they wouldn’t have to continue to be information dealers. George and the others left.
What were you and Sirius doing after that?"
"Nothing, just like usual." Pomona said, but Sirius became more and more restless and always wanted to fight to the death with the Death Eaters.
"Pomona!" Severus' voice came from the darkness, and Hermione and she immediately ran over to follow the voice with their wands in hand.
They tried to be as gentle as possible, because there were many canvas portraits of the Black family hanging on the wall. Sirius's mother permanently possessed her soul behind her portrait. Every time someone was touched by the umbrella stand made of the giant monster's legs,
If she tripped, she would scream, and then all the paintings in the house would scream and curse, and they had to hit the paintings one by one with their wands to silence them.
The curtains here are all tightly drawn, and the sunlight will make them very uncomfortable. Those Slytherin green curtains are insect-eaten and look like the leaves of some kind of plant. The ceiling of the long, dark corridor is decorated with a
A tree-shaped decorative lamp covered with spider webs used to flicker, but now it doesn't light up at all. There is a closet-sized secret door under the black corner staircase, which leads to the basement. It is not as decorated as the one upstairs.
It is magnificent, with various crystal lamps and snake-shaped handles. There are two rooms in a deep corridor that can only be passed by one person. One is the duel room used by Remus to transform, and the other is the dungeon. Today, Severus
Si seemed to have discovered the third room, which suddenly appeared like the door to the Room of Requirement in Hogwarts.
At this time, the door was open. Severus Snape, dressed in black, almost blended into the darkness. Only the wand in his hand continued to glow white. Pomona walked in front of Hermione, holding the
She blocked herself. After she walked in the door, she realized that it was a study room. There were books from the ceiling to the floor. In the pitch black, any light was visible. There were more than a dozen red-glowing eggs on the bottom of the bookshelf.
Placed in a silver champagne ice bucket, the red light flowing on the eggs proves that they are not dead and can be resurrected at any time.
"Don't touch them," Pomona warned. "Those are the eggs of the ash snake. They are now frozen by a spell. Once they are thawed, they will set the entire house on fire."
"Is she telling the truth? Granger?" Professor Snape asked Miss Know-It-All.
"Yes." Hermione replied subconsciously, "The Ash Snake's lifespan is only one hour. During this hour, it finds a dark and hidden place to lay its eggs, and then its body will be broken into pieces and turned into dust.
Its eggs are dazzlingly red and emit a blazing light. If people fail to discover these eggs in time and freeze them with the appropriate spell, they will set the house on fire in a matter of minutes. As long as there are one or a few eggs
Fire ash snakes wandering around the house must be traced immediately to find out the location of the snake eggs. But once these snake eggs are frozen, they have great value and can be used to make aphrodisiacs, or they can be completely
Swallow it to treat fever."
"Oh, my God." Pomona covered her face. Hermione didn't help at all. She just memorized the contents of the book and didn't even realize what she said.
"How about we take a few away?" Even though his back was turned to them, Pomona could still hear the smile in his voice.
"Give up, Severus, do you remember the umbrella stand with troll legs? Sirius's mother possessed herself in a painting. She is guarding this old house. As long as you touch those eggs, I will
Make sure all the snake eggs will hatch immediately."
"How do you know?" Hermione said immediately unconvinced.
"Tonks is Andromeda's daughter. She is more likely to trip over that umbrella stand than others when she passes by it. Even if she is removed from the family, she is still a member of the Black family. Sirius's mother wants her to kick us all out.
." Pomona reached out towards the man who refused to give up. "Come back, Severus, don't touch things that don't belong to you."
"Isn't it okay that Mundungus stole the Black family's jewelry and sold it?" Severus said with his back to her.
"Are you talking about the locket? That was given to him by Kreacher, are you right, Kreacher!"
"Yes, Professor." With a soft "pop" sound, the old house elf appeared in the secret room. On its chest was hanging the piece that was once used as a Horcrux and was later used by Gran.
The Sword of Fendor slashed the locket.
"Why are you here?" Hermione exclaimed in disbelief. "I remember Harry letting him work in the kitchen at Hogwarts."
"I gave it freedom." Pomona looked at the house elf. During the final battle, all the house elves in Hogwarts rushed out to fight the Death Eaters, and Kreacher was at the forefront. "It is now
Like Dobby, he is a free spirit."
"It won't hurt me," Severus said.
"House elves must obtain the owner's permission to cast spells, but there is no rule that they cannot attack with table knives and meat cleavers. You did this in the Battle of Hogwarts, right? Kreacher?"
"Kreacher will not attack the professors at Hogwarts, but Kreacher can cast spells on the property belonging to the Black family." Kreacher pointed his withered fingers at the ice bucket of champagne and said to Silver in a bullfrog-like voice.
Les said fiercely, "Get back, thief, only the Black family can see everything in this room."
Severus held up his wand and did not move. Pomona knew that he was furious now, but she knew she must not back down.
"Do you still remember the promise you told me? You have to help me find Regulus. The bloodline of the Black family cannot be severed."
"Professor." Kreacher looked at Pomona with affectionate eyes.
"Follow me, Severus." She stretched out her hand towards the man. "Let's go home."
"Granger, why are you here?" he said in a low, steady voice.
"Pomona said we should talk."
"I have nothing to say to you now." Severus turned around with his black robe and pointed his wand at Pomona. "But we have something to talk about, my wife."
Under the flickering light of fluorescent lights, Pomona looked at Hermione.
"I'm sorry." Hermione showed a helpless smile, turned around and left the secret room. Her expression was very familiar to Pomona. Hermione would do this every time Harry Potter angered Snape.
"Your cute puppy once yelled at me, why is the world so unfair? He was obviously not guilty, but he was imprisoned in Azkaban for twelve years, but I was free and got everything." The Potions Professor said.
He walked towards her carelessly like a slum gangster. "He cried, Pomona, how sentimental, he was once the blessed one, do you know what made our identity change? It's black magic,
He ran away from home because he couldn't stand it, and now you're stopping me from chasing it. Are you going to block my way, Pomona?"
"Salazar Slytherin left Hogwarts. Severus, you can leave me like him and pursue what you want. Maybe we will meet on the battlefield one day. You have to talk to Tobias
Just like you beat Irene, will you beat me until there are wounds all over my body?"
