Chapter 210 Blackout(1/2)
Ariote leaves are used when making laughter potion. Ariote is a magical tree, also known as the hyena tree.
The leaves of this plant can induce hysteria and uncontrollable laughter. The laughter-inducing effect of the chopped Ariot leaves will be destroyed if the potion is stirred too vigorously, so the stirring must be very careful.
gentle.
Sometimes what is going on in the heart is completely different from how it appears on the outside. Who would have thought that the ferocious-looking Dean of Slytherin would be as easily frightened as a deer. When encountering a situation beyond his control, his first thought would be to run away. In the past, Deng
Blido always forced him to do things he didn't want to do, but now that Pomona didn't force him, he became more like a coward and wanted to run away.
"I've always been curious about what Kingsley has been busy with since he took office, and why he didn't take care of the Law Enforcement Department when it was in such chaos. It wasn't until just now that I received the news that he was dealing with the bird crisis." Severus was lying on her lap.
, smoking a cigarette very carefree, but the tone of his speech was as sharp as ever, "Do you know the blackout in New York in 1965?"
"I know," Pomona said with a smile. "That blackout caused a baby boom."
"This is what Muggles are good at. Giving birth to a child is like a mouse, but they never thought that if the child is born without the ability to protect itself, it will be like a piece of meat in the wild and will soon be torn into pieces by various creatures, so
They built castles and lived under the protection of high walls. After the castles, there were cities. Now Muggle cities rely on electricity to maintain city operations. Once they lose electricity, they will return to the dark Middle Ages, provided they do not
It will destroy the world."
Pomona took a breath.
"There has been a rumor in the wizarding world for a long time that things powered by electricity, such as telegraphs and electricity, will affect the function of the wand. The Black family uses gas lamps, and your greenhouse also uses gas lamps. Lucius has no idea about the one installed in the house.
The intercom at his door is more annoying than Sissi."
"I know that rumor, I remember there was a Minister of Magic..."
"Josephine Flint, she is one of the twenty-eight holy families. The current patriarch Marcus Flint is my student. That kid used to be the captain of the Slytherin Quidditch team. He is a rebel.
Muggles, I heard he got a thunderbird from somewhere. That damn bird can cause thunder and lightning and heavy rain by flapping its wings. Imagine what would happen if the Muggle power grid was attacked."
"How could Marcus come up with such a clever idea?" Pomona recalled that as a senior in seventh grade, he and Draco dressed up as dementors to scare Harry Potter.
"It's impossible for him, but he must be involved. The Aurors are following him. There was also a Thunderbird smuggling case seventy years ago. At that time, Dumbledore asked Newt Scamander to handle it. The bird was
The Thunderbird smuggled into Egypt was returned to his hometown by him. Later, it was also the Thunderbird that caused the blackout in New York. In the process of dealing with the Thunderbird, Newt Scamander almost exposed the entire wizarding world. Kingsley
He is pro-Muggle, but not crazy enough to expose the entire wizarding world, otherwise he will become the new Grindelwald of the International Federation of Wizards. He was born an Auror and is very good at tracking down this kind of thing. It is a ministry matter.
He was left to his cousin Robert Shacklebolt, who was a peripheral member of the Order of the Phoenix. I remember that he had visited the Order of the Phoenix headquarters several times, wearing a deerstalker hat. He was Shacklebolt.
The head of the family, he asked Dumbledore to support him to replace Fudge as Minister of Magic, but as you saw, the person who took over was Stringer, the director of the Auror Office."
"It seems that every family has its own problems." Pomona looked at the man who was not handsome at all. Her heart was beating very fast now, but it was different from the uncontrollable heartbeat just now.
"There are very few people in the Order of the Phoenix who can really share Dumbledore's worries. Alastor is dead, Arthur Weasley has no ability to be loyal, Sirius Black..."
"Stop talking about Sirius, insulting a dead man is not good for you, and it will also damage your education." Pomona pressed her finger on his lips.
"Sirius Black has been isolated from normal people for twelve years. His mind has not yet fully developed, and he is already dead. No one can take care of him. Calvin, the current director of the Auror Office, wants to replace him. Kingsley used
They dealt with Azkaban in a humane way but did not think about what would happen to the Dementors without a fixed source of food. The people lived in fear of the Dementors. There were many people who opposed him. Fear can make people do what they want.
There are a lot of unexpected things, that's why I hate losing control of my emotions so much." He stared into her eyes, letting her put her fingers on her lips and whisper, his voice was like silk across her eardrums.
"Are you seducing me, Severus?" She looked at his black eyes with fascination, as if looking through them to the soul that was hiding in the depths of the spiral maze, exuding light blue light.
"Yes, do you like it?" he said with a smile.
Pomona felt like she had become Cedric, or Fleur, but what she really wanted to be was a female Hufflepuff competing in the Triwizard Tournament. The reward was the Goblet of Fire placed in the center of the maze.
It's right in front of you, you just need to run towards it to get it.
"Are you hungry, Pomona?" His voice seemed to come from the void.
"Stop..." she begged, she didn't want to become a monster like a dementor.
"This is your nature. The human soul is food to you. Why should you care about the life and death of other people? During the war, many people were doing experiments that they would not dare to do in peacetime. Everyone knows it." He coaxed.
They also whispered, "Giants are evil and like to kill, but they are going extinct. There are not many left in the UK that have been killed by kind humans. They are only found abroad, and they are all hiding in the mountains. Last time
We went to Ireland and saw the Giant's Causeway. In fact, giants can also do magic. Just look at Hagrid and Maxim and you will know that their high magic resistance does not mean they have no magic power. Their power is what you want most.
Earth magic, but their stupid brains have forgotten how to use it, you can teach them how to re-pave the path of the Titans."
"Then attack Britain and end up with genocide, right?" Pomona was very angry, but she couldn't bear to hit him. "I hate you, Severus."
"Think about the past, when there were not so many people in the world. Everyone could keep their distance from each other, and it would not feel crowded or noisy. Everyone was not as angry as now. After the blackout in New York, you know the first reaction of all the Muggles in the subway was
What? It’s not panic and screaming, but everyone is fast asleep together, as if they haven’t rested for a long time. Those poor people are exhausted from trying to live, but at the end of their lives, they don’t know what they are living for.
I don't want to go back to living between them, I want to stay in the wizarding world, from the beginning, the first time I saw Lily was like Hagrid meeting Madame Maxime, I met the same kind, the Dark Lord knew that I
He had been friends with her since childhood and ordered me to take him to the home of Lily's parents, the Evans home in Cokeworth. He thought Lily would hide there, but when we got there they had been washed away.
They didn't remember that they had Lily as their daughter. The Dark Lord said that he had never seen such a perfect forgetfulness, so he didn't want to kill those two Muggles, but he knew Lily from their memories.
There is a sister, you handled this matter really badly, why don’t you erase her too?”
"They have two daughters, they can't..." Pomona cried.
"We can't let them not exist, right?" He reached out and wiped away her tears, and continued to whisper, "Sometimes I really feel that human nature is of no use. I know that I can't find any clues about the Evanses."
The Dark Lord tortured me. He thought I knew where Petunia lived. I was in a coma for two days. When I woke up, all the Death Eaters were gone. There were rumors everywhere on the street that the Dark Lord was dead. Harry Potter
As a boy who survived, his mother Lily died to protect him. I didn’t believe those rumors because I believed Dumbledore would protect them, so I went to Hogwarts to question him, and he actually told me
He said that James and Lily trusted the wrong person. Look what a perfect excuse he gave himself. I am a Death Eater. If no one protects me, I will be captured in Azkaban like everyone else.
When he asked me to protect Lily's son, I only hesitated for a moment and agreed. I owed Lily a lot, and I wanted to live. I still had so many things to do. Eleven years later, he appeared in my life again.
I recognized the boy in front of me at a glance. He was easy to recognize, wasn't he? He had the face of James Potter and the eyes of Lily. The scar on his forehead started to hurt the moment he looked at me. Now
Tell me, who did you hear that Harry Potter's scar disappeared after the Battle of Hogwarts?"
Pomona began to recall, but her memory at that time was only darkness and confusion. There were many people talking, and she couldn't remember who said that Harry Potter's scar disappeared.
"He told the people in the ministry that his scar started to hurt again. It was about the time you were attacked last year. Pomona, Lucius has a saying that I agree with him very much. Harry Potter is from the Malfoy family.
Disaster, I hate that boy who survived."
He said the last words word for word, but Pomona thought of Karkaroff who followed him closely on Christmas, so she said with a smile.
"How did you get rid of Karkaroff on the day of the Yule Ball?"
"I poisoned him, two fingers of whiskey and liqueur of life and death, and he was in close contact with the floor all night like I am now."
She felt embarrassed again.
"Aren't you curious why someone like Karkaroff became the principal of Durmstrang? He is different from me. He is a very interesting person. After the fall of Grindelwald, many teachers in Durmstrang left their jobs.
It once failed to recover. Later, Karkaroff recruited many former Death Eaters into the school. These people taught black magic. They hid in the hidden school incognito and pushed him into the school together.
As a principal, how could you be so stupid as to go to such a dangerous place alone?"
"What's delicious in Scandinavia?" she answered honestly.
He immediately narrowed his eyes and laughed, "Is the honey from the Sad Worm delicious?"
"No!" she screamed immediately. "Why would anyone drink wine made from heartbreak honey?"
He immediately put away his fake smile and pinched her nose, "Think about it carefully and use your smart head!"
Pomona suddenly realized something when she thought of the time when he found her happily playing dog sledding, and the glass of mead he invited her to drink that made her cry sadly.
"Did you give Neville Longbottom his pot of rice cakes?" he asked while she was still confused.
"No, that was given by his uncle."
"Why would he send such disgusting things?" Severus found a more comfortable position on her lap to lie down.
"It didn't offend you." Pomona complained about the pot of Mibu Miba. Neville raised it for a year. This desert plant actually grew very strong in the gloomy British weather.
Peng can also sing, which looks like a lot of fun.
"It brought back bad memories, and all my medicine was in vain."
There are expansion spells in magic spells, and expansion potions in magic potions. They both work to make people expand, but the principles are completely different.
The main ingredients of the swelling potion are bat liver, dried nettles, and puffer fish eyes. The pufferfish can be inflated, but it cannot fly in the air. If you want a person who drinks the swelling potion to fly, you must add bat liver.
Merging two animal forms requires a wave of a wand.
"How about we make some herbicides to get rid of those magical plants? We can't let Malfoy Manor be haunted by vines all the time."
"I won't touch that thing, it stinks like hell." He said with disgust on his face.
"Isn't there Draco? You teach him!" She pushed his head. "Draco didn't go to Slughorn's advanced potions class. You know why."
"Draco!" he shouted.
It didn't take long for Draco Malfoy to trot over.
"Where are your potions tools?"
"In my room."
"Bring it here, and prepare some more Flobber caterpillar slime and lionfish spine powder. We will clear away these vines."
"Now?" Draco looked confused.
"This is general cleaning. Although you don't know, it must be done before the start of every semester." She looked at the man who was leaning on her lap and couldn't get up. "Can we call Astonia?"
