Chapter 2567 Cheese Trap (3)

There is a phenomenon called mimicry in nature, which refers to the shape, color or markings of certain animals that are very similar to another, so as to deceive enemies and protect themselves. For example, the Chinese coral snake carries highly venom, and its mimicry

The multi-banded king snake is completely non-venomous. They are very similar in appearance. The bright colors are originally warning colors for coral snakes. The multi-banded king snake avoids harm by imitating the bright colors of coral snakes.

Mimicry includes three parties: the imitator, the imitated and the deceived. The deceived can be a predator or a prey. Among the magic plants, there is a kind of delphinium, which is the mimic of the devil's net. There are two types of devil's net.

In a semi-dark environment, it will disguise itself as a crab claw, and in a dark and humid environment, it will change back to the form of a vine. Light and warmth are its natural enemies, and it will actively stretch out its snake-like legs.

The tendrils wrap around those who approach it, causing casualties.

There are probably two ways to deal with it. One is incendio. This fire magic will be learned in the fourth grade. Although the devil's net is powerful and resistant to many spells, as long as you find its weakness, it will

The wizard can deal with it, and the harder it struggles, the tighter it becomes.

The other is the high-level illumination spell lumos solem. This spell is taught by Felicity in the seventh-grade Charms. It cannot be repelled by a fluorescent-level illumination spell.

Hermione had mastered it in her first year, and even though she was a Muggle and had no special "gifts," she was still an excellent witch.

In comparison, Neville... Pomona sighed. She had to worry about how he went to Scamander's house, especially since Neville was not a student of her own college, and Minerva herself was

If she doesn't take it seriously, why doesn't she care about Cedric from her own college? He is about to enter seventh grade and is about to face the dual pressures of graduation and employment.

This summer vacation was the busiest she had ever had. She was even more upset when she thought about how busy she would be after school started. And it was all Fudge's fault. Not only was the Quidditch World Cup being held, there was also the Triwizard Tournament.

race.

Every day passes like a festival, and soon people will forget about Sirius Black's escape from Azkaban and the impact the Dementors had on their lives. If the Minister of Magic is also elected by voting

, Pomona will never vote for him.

After arriving at Grapeland's office, she knocked on the door as usual and went in, but Grapeland was not at her desk.

"Wilmina?" she shouted.

"Here!"

She followed the sound and found that Graplan was treating an equestrian in the medical room. Centaurs did not rest in bed like humans. Graplan had laid a thick layer of herbs in the treatment room, and the mother of the pony was holding a baby.

He lay on the haystack.

"What's going on?" Pomona asked.

"I was bitten by an eight-eyed spider, but luckily it was delivered in time," Graplan said.

Pomona looked at the dying centaur. The centaur's skin was different from that of humans. Rather than being pale, it was more gray, a kind of death gray.

Grapeland spoke some centaur language to the centaur's mother, and then left the treatment room.

"What's the matter with you, Dean?"

"I want some blue jays, and Sybil is going to use them for her divination."

"Go catch it yourself, and remember to close the door." Graplan said, returning to the treatment room.

Pomona glanced at them and walked into the tropical birdcage.

The blue jay is very similar to the silencer, except that the blue jay is a chattering bird, while the silencer only makes all the sounds it hears before it dies, and is silent the rest of the time.

In this era where everyone is vying for the right to speak, the voiceless bird that cannot speak for itself will definitely live a miserable life. The magic materials used to make veritaserum, especially the voiceless bird feathers, require certain qualities. In addition to protecting animals,

Outside the living area, it is difficult to find it in nature.

Pomona used a summoning spell to catch a few blue jays. After making sure that Grapeland was not paying attention, she quickly walked to the next door. The bush with delphiniums below was the habitat of the Silent Bird.

The delphiniums are protected from harm by the devil's net that mimics the state of vines in the dark, while the soundless birds hide in the canopy above the delphiniums. They are so quiet that even with bright feathers, it is difficult to hide in the bird's nest.

Discover.

Pomona stepped directly on the delphinium vines, got closer, grabbed a soundless bird, and placed it in the birdcage.

Then she left the "birdcage" without even saying hello to Grapeland, taking the birdcage filled with blue jays.

==================================================

===========

There were no electric lights at the end of the 18th century and the beginning of the 19th century, but even though the light was not bright enough for Georgiana to see clearly at first, now she got closer and realized that although this Lyra Blake looked very similar to Sirius Black, she was

The skin is pale and not as healthy as Sirius.

Even after Sirius returned from Azkaban, his face turned pale, unlike Brick. At that time, he had sunken eyes and a thin body.

She quickly remembered the tapestries of the Blake family. The earliest Blake, Liculus, was born in 1808. If Lyra Brick is his ancestor, then...

"What are you thinking about?" Brick asked with a smile.

"Are you married?" Georgiana asked.

"No." Brick said still smiling, "And I'm not engaged to anyone."

He obviously misunderstood, but she continued to ask, "Why do you need to be named Lyra? The name Laila is more suitable for girls."

"If it's a boy, what name do you want?" He followed her words.

She became more and more certain that this person was not Sirius, and Sirius would not be so glib.

"What kind of magic have you got? Why do you look like a shadow?"

"I'm trapped. No one can see me. They either think I'm a shadow or a ghost." Brick said, "But if I were in color, people would think I was a moving mural."

"The blood..."

"It's a tonic. I've been trapped in it for a year." Brick said, "Thank you for saving my life."

She immediately thought of the Philosopher's Stone. In addition to turning stones into gold, the red stone could also lead to immortality. The way to take it was to dissolve it with "water" and drink it.

But she didn't know how to refine the Philosopher's Stone, and she just left the lip print on the handkerchief and threw it on the ground.

"That Thestral..."

"You should focus on dancing and look around." Brick said while spinning her around.

She looked at the people watching around her. These well-dressed guests were very much the same as the people at the Yule Ball and the celebration ball where Severus was nominated successfully. In other words, which girl didn't want to dance with Sirius Black?

If the Triwizard Tournament had been held in their time, Sirius might have been one of the contestants, so... her dream would have come true.

Pomona once thought that Ginny agreed to Neville's invitation because she wanted to attend the Yule Ball, but she was not old enough.

Tonks said that she liked Harry, but she thought it was impossible for Harry to like her or invite her. Harry liked Cho Chang at the time, but the girl he wanted to invite the most was invited away by Cedric.

So he and Ron had no choice but to invite the Perti sisters to "join in the work".

Nash also used an example to explain game theory. If everyone invites the most beautiful girl to the ball, her female companions will not be willing to be "substitutes". If the boys invite them again, they will not agree.

.

If everyone gives up on the most beautiful girl at the beginning and invites her female partners instead, then everyone can dance, but the most beautiful girl will have to be alone.

There will always be a lucky guy who can invite her, so everyone wants to be that "lucky guy", even Ron wants to try to see if he can invite Fleur Delacour.

Although Harry and Ron went to the prom with the beautiful school belle, they had their own reasons and the fire in their hearts did not burn. None of them enjoyed the prom.

It was Hermione, on the other hand, who danced with Victor Cullum. Her fluffy curly hair, which she had forgotten to take care of because she was too busy studying, was extremely smooth that night. It was really impressive when she walked down the marble steps.

Stunning.

Pomona envied her, although Hermione didn't know that the old headmaster had ever looked at her that way.

Pomona clearly gave Severus three chances to invite her to dance, but he always came up with some weird reasons, even saying "Don't waste it so much". Why couldn't he ask Brick directly?

It is inevitable that everyone will have shortcomings in their hearts. Some people regret not wearing the robe of a cardinal. Some people regret not inviting the most wanted partner to a dance. These regrets appear in our hearts from time to time, even after death.

Hard to let go.

Spinning, spinning, she couldn't tell whether she was in the Great Hall of Hogwarts or the castle, in a dream or in a fantasy.

If it had been Sirius who knocked on her door that night, would anything have changed?

Maybe what Albus said is right, even the purest heart can be tempted by darkness, not to mention that she was not very pure in the first place.

Although Sirius' surname is Black, he is the brightest star in the night.

If this is your regret and you are satisfied now, is it really time for you to go, Sirius?

After all, darkness and hell are not your destination, you belong to the light, and heaven is where you should go.
