Chapter 2564 Smoke and Mirror Thirty
Chapter 2566 Cheese Trap (2)
According to the Muggle definition of combustion reaction, the exothermic reaction between combustibles and oxidation occurs during combustion, usually accompanied by heat release, flame, glow or smoke. Combustion requires combustibles and a certain oxygen content as well as the ability to catch fire.
Energy, such as adding wood to the fireplace if you want the fire to burn brightly.
However, Floo powder - its main ingredient is an extract of the flower of a magical plant called Floo, not just its pollen - when it comes into contact with the flames in the fireplace, it not only changes the color of the flames
Turning green will also make the fire no longer hot and harmless.
Some magic will also have reactions such as flames and light when it is cast, but not all of them are caused by combustion, similar to the red light of "Expelliarmus".
But the magic the children will use today is a real burning spell. It is the incendio duo that Pomona only taught in herbal medicine class in seventh grade. It can burn the webs of eight-eyed spiders and
Carnivorous slugs were very effective. Although there were potions for sale in Diagon Alley, she had to find something to do for the children, and they had so much energy, why not let them go to the Forbidden Forest to clean up cobwebs?
After the death of the basilisk, the natural enemies of the spiders disappeared, and their reproduction speed increased significantly. The night before, when the wind dragon flew through the Forbidden Forest, she noticed that the canopy in the center of the forest was full of misty spider webs.
The children were very excited. After all, "playing with fire" was much more fun than building blocks according to incomprehensible drawings, although Pomona was a little worried that they would set the forest on fire.
Albus had an almost indulgent care for Hagrid. The "Prohibition of Breeding for Experimental Purposes" law promulgated in 1965 made the creation of new magical animals an illegal activity, but Hagrid let the fire crab and the human face
The manticores successfully reproduced and created the Explosive-Tailed Skrewts.
Not to mention how he did it, this practice is already illegal. There are other illegal behaviors in Hogwarts. For example, Snape will make his own floo powder and give it to Hogwarts with limited points.
Professors, make sure the internal floo network is available.
The Ministry of Magic has a Department of Transportation and Floo Network Management. The external Floo network is not connected to Hogwarts. If not, Pomona would like to try to see if Neville can be sent to Scamander's house through the Floo network.
.
Yes, she brought Xiu Xiu back, but she forgot about the birds, snakes and turtles. Look at her memory!
But she was indeed very tired yesterday. After all, she had deployed defensive magic in such a large area and received so many messages.
Floo powder is required to use Floo. The only legal Floo powder operator is the Floo Powder Company, and their formula is confidential.
St. Mungo's receives many wizards who are injured every year due to the use of pseudo-floo and homemade floo powder, even though the price of each spoonful of floo powder is only 2 silver Sickles.
Wizards will use it not because of money, but because they can use illegal fireplaces that are not registered with the Floo Management Department. This often involves shady things, such as trysts with lovers or theft. Before Harry entered school
A year earlier, Moody had caught Mundungus smuggling artificial Floo powder.
Pomona always felt that seeing Mundungus in the Hog's Head Bar that day was suspicious. If she found a chance, she wanted to tell Tonks to investigate. Now Tonks was learning how to be an Auror with Moody.
This is really a strange combination, the pink-haired girl and the scary-looking "Mad-Eye", who came up with the idea?
Pomona was yawning all the way from the tent area to the forest ranger's hut. The other senior interns were discussing excitedly, and Neville was still limping next to her.
Maybe, he can live directly at Scamander's house without going back to school.
The thought lingered in her mind until she saw Hagrid, waiting for her at the door of the hut.
"Good morning, Dean." Hagrid greeted Pomona energetically.
They also stayed up late, and he probably stayed up later than she did, so why was he so energetic?
"Good morning, Hagrid, where are the Sniffers?" Pomona asked.
"Come here." Hagrid waved to her. When she entered the house, she found that the Sniffers had been released from the cage, and each one was rolling happily holding a leaf.
"What's going on?" Pomona asked.
"Smell the magic grass," Hagrid said.
"How is that possible? It's extinct." Pomona said.
"I still have some inventory." Hagrid said mysteriously. "Thanks to it, these little guys didn't disturb me. I slept well last night."
Pomona stared at him gloomily.
"Do you have anything else to do, Dean?" Hagrid asked.
"I want to clean up the spider webs outside the Forbidden Forest. The interns outside ask you to take them to the Forbidden Forest. Remember to protect their safety and don't set the forest on fire."
"Okay." Hagrid agreed readily. "The spiders are really a bit weird lately. The centaurs' activity areas have been affected by them. Is there anything else?"
Pomona thought of the Thestral, which Neville could ride to Scamander's house, if he could ride it.
But to see Ye Qi, one needs to understand death, and she felt that such a trivial matter was too fussy.
"Do you have any Pegasus or anything like that here? I mean except the Thestral." Pomona said with a frown.
"Why do you ask?" Hagrid asked.
"I'm going to send Neville to Scamander's house to get the bird and snake."
"The flying motorcycle can still be used, I can take him there." Hagrid said.
"Don't you have other tasks? How is the progress of the Dragon Hall?" Pomona asked.
"Very good, very good." Hagrid said listlessly, his expression didn't look like "good" at all.
Pomona shook his head, "Do you know what my purpose is in clearing the Forbidden Forest?"
"Welcome to the Triwizard Tournament." Hagrid answered immediately.
"I heard that... Beauxbatons' principal, Madame Maxime, has tamed some rune horses. They are all Pegasus." Pomona said, "Can you help me borrow one from her?"
Hagrid was confused "Why would she lend me her domesticated animals?"
"Because she is just like you... tall." Pomona said cautiously, "and you have also tamed the Thestrals, so I think you will have a common language."
Hagrid blinked his eyes, and after a long while he lowered his voice and asked, "You mean, she is just like me?"
Pomona nodded, and Hagrid stood up happily.
"I didn't expect it, I mean, I thought I was the only one left." Hagrid asked as he paced, "Where is she?"
"I guess it's in France, but I'm not sure if she's still in school during the summer vacation." Pomona said, "You can write to her via owl first."
"Yes, that's right. This is only polite." Hagrid sat down again. "I should communicate with her first."
Pomona thought about Hagrid's poor spelling. Would Mrs. Maxim like a letter from someone who couldn't even spell "Happy Birthday" correctly?
"Do you speak French?" Pomona asked.
"No." Hagrid asked worriedly, "Should I write to her in French?"
"I can help you after I finish my work today." Pomona said and stood up. "Remember, don't let them be eaten by spiders, and don't let them set the forest on fire."
"I understand, Dean."
Hagrid stood up and walked Pomona to the door.
Pomona saw Neville not far away. He tried to blend in among the "big kids", but he was still on the outermost edge, looking alone.
She originally wanted to take him to find Graplan, but on the way back yesterday, he told her that she wanted to stay in the camp and help him as much as she could.
If Pomona was a parent like Augusta, she could "order" Neville to do what she said, but she respected Neville's ideas and needed to find another way to get to Scamander's house.
"You're asking for it," she murmured, wondering how much easier it would be if she left the task to Cedric.
==================================================
=========
Georgiana looked at the nephew of the Duke of Arenberg who looked like Cedric and the vampire who looked like Sirius Black on the dance floor, and felt that she was simply dreaming. No, she was indeed dreaming, but even if it was a dream
It's too strange.
Vampires do not call themselves vampires. Muggles gave them the name and even made up myths for them.
Wizards are discriminated against in the eyes of Muggles, and vampires are discriminated against in the wizarding world, even though they have the power of immortality that Muggles desperately desire.
There is an idiom called Aiwujicrow. If you like a person, you will not only like the place where he lives, but also the crows in his home.
The halo effect makes you like him and focus on his strengths, and the darkness that represents the shortcomings will be swallowed up by the "light".
Corresponding to this is the Lucifer effect. Clear barriers to distinguish good people from bad people can make us feel at ease. For a person who looks bad, people will look for evidence to prove their point of view. In this environment, even angels will fall.
Many things are not what we see. The flames of the incendio duo are also green, but they are not as harmless as the green fire of the Floo Network.
"You said I saved you, why don't I remember?" Georgiana asked.
Laila came closer, almost to her ear, and said in a voice that was audible to both of them, "Have you forgotten the pool of 'blood' on the ground that night?"
Then he asked Georgiana to take his arm and walked to the center of the dance floor. All the dancing people stopped and formed a circle to look at them.
"That's not real blood, is it?" she asked Leila Brick.
Brick smiled mysteriously and led her to dance a waltz in the elegant music.
