Lupine liked music very much, especially the kind of music with a light rhythm that was suitable for dancing. In his first Defense Against the Dark Arts class, he asked the students to fight Boggart, and he played a very light music at that time.

He was obviously the most negative person, but he always encouraged Sirius. The three of them often danced together in the building at No. 15 Guihua Street. At that time, she didn't think about what Severus was doing.

.

During Voldemort's second rise to power, Li Jordan set up the Potter Watch Station. This illegal broadcast often had to change locations to prevent Death Eaters from tracing it. Pomona didn't know if Lupine had ever lent Guihua Street to them.

Because the safe house was empty at the time, he and Tonks got married and moved elsewhere, Sirius was dead, and she was living at Hogwarts.

Everyone has left, only the things are still in place. It is difficult for Pomona to resist the feeling of being alone in the deserted room, but Hermione Granger handles it very well. She found Lu

She used a flat record player and listened to music while washing the dishes. The house that had been empty for several years became warm and popular because of her, and it felt like a place where people lived.

"professor!"

When she saw the short and fat Pomona Sprout coming out of the fireplace, she shouted with surprise and joy, and then ran over to her like a cannonball and gave her a big hug.

"What happened to your hair?" Pomona looked at Hermione's hair in surprise. They were no longer fluffy and looked very smooth.

"I found hair smoothener in Sirius's room, it's from the Potter family." Hermione said proudly, "I'm so glad wizard's potions don't have an expiration date."

"Shelf life?"

"Don't worry about it, what are you doing here today?" Hermione asked.

"You have to go to work tomorrow. I'll take you to meet someone, and we have to go back to Hogwarts." Pomona dragged her heavy steps to the chair and sat down. "I'll find it for Minerva."

Got a new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher."

"Who?" Hermione asked.

"Harry Potter." Pomona said loudly, "I heard that he goes back to take Defense Against the Dark Arts classes from time to time. This time he will stay at Hogwarts for a longer period of time, so that he can at least handle the inspections for the next semester."

"examine?"

"In addition to the Ministry of Magic, we also have to deal with inspections from the International Federation of Wizards. Six years have passed since the Battle of Hogwarts. How is the reconstruction work going?"

"Neville said everything went well," she said uncertainly.

"Barty Crouch and Lucius Malfoy, the two biggest school governors, have not donated money. Where can we get the money to rebuild, Hermione? The position of Defense Against the Dark Arts is cursed. We are short of people at that time.

Both the idiot Lockhart and the Werewolf have been hired. Now that there are international doubts about Hogwarts' teachers and teaching capabilities, you have to help me convince Harry to be the substitute teacher for the Defense Against the Dark Arts course next semester."

"But what about his Auror job?" Hermione asked.

"You don't have to worry about him. I will find a way to transfer him. The situation outside is very dangerous right now, but the school is relatively safe. Besides, Neville is hiding a werewolf."

"What?" Hermione interrupted Pomona.

"Lavender Brown, she was bitten, remember? Neville took her in, in the school's greenhouse."

Hermione folded her hands, thought for a moment and said, "So Harry wants to help Neville control her?"

"That's right, now put on your clothes and let's go to Kachipol Village."

"What are we doing there?"

"Visit your future colleague, Amos Diggory." She said with her hands on her hips. "Do you remember what your job is?"

"I know, the house elf resets the office." Hermione said listlessly.

"He is an old bachelor. I dare say that he must be in great need of a house elf in his family now. If you can establish a relationship with him, you will have someone in the ministry who can support you."

"I won't start work until tomorrow." Hermione said lazily.

"Someone started working yesterday, and it was an owl that delivered the letter to you, but you wouldn't think that the notification letter from the ministry was also written by it, right?"

So Hermione reluctantly put on her clothes and disapparated with her.

The earliest founder of Hogsmeade was Hangis of Woodcroft. There is a bust of him in the corridor on the fifth floor of Hogwarts. After he was expelled by a group of Muggle prosecutors, in order to avoid their disturbance, he placed it in the

A Muggle expulsion spell was placed around his house, and wizards who also wanted to get rid of Muggles gradually gathered in that village, and thus the wizard-only village of Hogsmeade was born.

The Diggory family was once very prosperous, and even had a Minister of Magic, but it has declined in modern times. The Diggory family's old house is just a few miles outside the village. It looks old and worn out, and many places have collapsed.

, the magic fountain is still full of weeds, it’s hard to imagine what it looked like when it was prosperous.

Pomona felt that no amount of money Dumbledore had to pay Amos could make up for his losses.

She had been here before, because Hufflepuff's Quidditch Cup arrived, and the happy Amos invited nearby neighbors to celebrate at his house. The trees in the manor were covered with ribbons, and the magic fountain was beating.

With blue water splashes, she also brought a lot of Hogwarts delicacies, and everyone was so happy.

The desolate and desolate courtyard now makes people feel uncomfortable. Fortunately, he still has a cousin, otherwise the Diggory family will be over in his generation, and all the money in his treasury will go to the goblins before he has time to use it up.

This is part of the agreement, just as humans have to provide a dragon to the goblins to serve as Gringotts guards. Unfortunately, humans have never kept their agreements. The goblins are very angry. They don't trust humans at all. Due to security issues, human wizards have put themselves

Their property was transferred from Gringotts, and the goblins were even more angry because "their money" was taken away by humans.

Asking for another giant dragon from the McFasty family would just repeat the experience of the last giant dragon, and Kingsley, who is human, would certainly not want to do so.

Fortunately, there is Lu Wei who loves to sleep. He only needs to sleep in that hole. If a thief comes and doesn't know the mechanism, he will wake him up. At that time, the "furry dog" will

Drive the intruder out, and once the intruder is driven away, it can continue to sleep, and live a life of eating, sleeping, and sleeping all day long. For the fire dragon who likes flying and vast territories, Gringotts is like a prison.

It's a safe place for Louie. He will become a happy dog, as long as the fairies take good care of him.

"Are you okay, Professor?" Hermione helped Pomona, who had difficulty moving.

"I'm fine, thank you for your concern." Pomona said expressionlessly. Her body should be resting at home now, but she still has things to do. "Do I look like Severus when I walk now? He was beaten by Lu Wei."

It was like this after the bite."

"That happened in the first grade." Hermione said with a smile as if recalling a good memory. "A troll ran into the school that day. Harry thought Professor Snape was going to steal the Philosopher's Stone."

"Yes, since the first grade, every time something happens, there are always the three of you." Mina continued. "Ron was hospitalized once. He said he was bitten by a dog. Madam Pomfrey said

His wounds have turned green, what kind of dog’s teeth are so poisonous?”

"Oh, it wasn't a dog bite." Hermione hesitated and said, "Hagrid secretly raised a Norwegian Ridgeback, and he was bitten by it."

"Really, a Norwegian Ridgeback?" Hufflepuff's dean exclaimed hypocritically. "Fortunately, my herbs came in handy. I heard that the dragon's teeth are highly poisonous."

"That's a little dragon, less than two weeks old." Hermione quickly added, "It grows very fast."

"Fortunately it's a baby dragon. If it had been an adult dragon, Ron would have died. By the way, is that dragon still in Hogwarts now? Was it secretly raised by Hagrid in the Forbidden Forest?"

"No, it was picked up by Charlie's friends." Hermione said without any thought. "Hagrid named it Norbert, and Charlie and the others called her Norberta because she is a girl."

"What!" Pomona screamed, frightening the foxes in the yard to fly up.

"I know that the female Norwegian Ridgeback is more ferocious than the male dragon. Hagrid thought it was a boy, so he named it Norbert. In your herbal medicine class that day, Ron and I debated..."

"I heard, Granger, you were arguing about whether to skip class and go to Hagrid's cabin." Pomona said dryly with a cold face, "How dare you do that in Head of Slytherin's class?"

Do you have to speak unscrupulously?"

Hermione couldn't help but shudder.

"After visiting Amos, you and I come to Hogsmeade and Draco Malfoy comes up with a solution to the mess you left in Gringotts."

"Malfoy came up with it?" Hermione shouted in disbelief.

"He is different from his peacock father. You will know if you get in touch with him more."

While the two were talking, they walked to the door of the main house. Following the once luxurious but now dilapidated marble steps, Pomona knocked on the door of Diggory's house. It looked very dilapidated, and the white paint on the outside was mottled. The last time

The white paint was still fresh when Pomona knocked on it.

After a moment, the door was slowly opened, and the old Amos Diggory looked at the two people standing at the door through his glasses.

"Hello, Amos, please forgive me for coming uninvited."

"Professor Sprout? And you, Hermione Granger?" Amos said in a hoarse voice, "What can I do for you?"

"Happy New Year." Pomona said with a smile, "It's quite cold outside, can we go in and sit down?"
