Chapter 2606 emain(Part 2)

Just like the Horse People's Office of the British Ministry of Magic, the Wand Registration Office of the United States Congress is also prepared for people with "no hope", but Tina still has to complete that job seriously.

Maybe the people above me will erase the punishment for the sake of my serious work.

At that time, Tina thought so naively.

The Wand Registration Office is regarded as meaningless by many people. For example, the owner of the Blind Pig Bar is a goblin and was not allowed to hold a wand. However, the Goblin Rebellion occurred in the United Kingdom and did not occur in the United States, which caused him to

Not only did he have a wand, but he also had two wands, and he was so proud that he appeared in the bar wearing them, and even in front of Tina.

However, he still wanted Scamander's Bowtruckle. The flashback spell of the wand could show the spell used. He didn't want anyone to find out that he opened the lock by his own wand, and the Bowtruckle's "

"The purpose" besides protecting the tree is to open all the locks, so Scamander used the Bowtruckle to exchange information with the boss.

"He didn't do that, did he?" Hagrid asked.

"Of course not." Tina, who was wearing an evening dress, said, "He just pretended to do it. Soon the people from Macusa came, and we left in chaos."

Hagrid looked relieved.

Pomona couldn't understand how someone who regularly exchanged non-trade items with strangers could worry about this.

"At that time, I learned some tricks on how to distinguish wands of different woods and cores." Tina, wearing casual clothes, walked along the lake with Pomona's support. "Especially the wand just now,

It is made of holly wood and phoenix feathers, and the properties of these two materials are completely opposite."

"What?" Pomona asked stupidly.

"Then are you listening to me?" Tina asked.

"Of course, you learned some tricks." Pomona repeated dryly.

"Holly wood is cold, phoenix feathers are hot." Tina said.

"But in wand science, holly represents life and phoenix feathers represent rebirth," Pomona said.

"I'm just telling you how I feel." Tina said, "I have a friend, and her wand is very similar to the wand just now."

"who?"

"Lally Higgins, her wand is made of African mermaid hair and rosewood. Rosewood has a sweet smell, but mermaids are not easy to mess with." Tina looked at the lake. "I heard that there are mermaids in the Black Lake."

Is it right?"

Pomona is in a daze.

She was thinking about how to ask Tina about artificial rem cow blood later, and she was thinking about African mermaids, which are a kind of beautiful mermaids, like Mediterranean mermaids, because the ocean temperatures where they live are relatively high.

They are more beautiful than Scottish mermaids, but African mermaids are not like Mediterranean mermaids. They will bring wealth to those they like and disaster to those they don't like. Nothing is worse for sailors than bad weather.

Too bad, and Larry happens to be good at weather spells.

"Pomona!" Tina yelled, startling her.

"Are you okay?" Tina asked with concern.

"I'm fine." Pomona said weakly.

Tina looked at her for a while, then found a stone to sit on by the black lake, as if she was tired from walking.

Pomona also found a place to sit and found Yorkshire pudding from his velvet bag.

"Is there anything to drink?" Tina asked after taking the pudding.

"Only water and tea, I didn't bring pumpkin juice." Pomona took out her travel kettle.

Tina looked at it and smiled.

"What's wrong?" Pomona asked.

"Newt also has a kettle like yours. I don't know how he did it. When he pointed the kettle at the unfriendly magical animals, they all left." Tina smiled and said, "You...

What does the kettle do?”

"It can only boil hot water." Pomona poured clean water into the spring on it, then placed the kettle on the ground and let it boil slowly by itself. Steam slowly spurted out from the spout.

They were quiet for a while, looking at the scenery, and no one spoke.

"When Larry was still a student, he was already corresponding with Dumbledore." Tina said, "She is an excellent witch. The principal appointed her as a professor in the school before we graduated."

"I know, we have contacted her before." Pomona said. "In 1984, there was a strange curse in our school. A student was trapped in a portrait. I heard that she knew a kind of wall-binding spell.

, it’s like being trapped in a portrait.”

"How did you know?" Tina asked.

"Dumbledore told me that, but she wrote back to us and said that there was no similarity between her spell and the portrait curse." Pomona replied.

"That man just now, what did he ask you?" Tina asked, "I heard he mentioned Dumbledore's name."

"He doesn't believe you can tell. There was a foundable there before, but it has disappeared." Pomona smiled and said, "He thought it was Dumbledore who asked you to deliberately guide us."

"If that wand wasn't so strange, I might not be able to tell the difference." Tina said in surprise, "Time flies so fast, it's 1994 now."

"That's because you've been immersed in memories lately," Pomona said.

Tina didn't know what she was thinking and suddenly laughed.

"Is he the one who communicated with you through the double-mirror?"

Pomona looked down at the pot of water. It seemed to be boiling, so she took out two mugs, put the tea leaves in them, and brewed them with hot water.

"Your ears are red." Tina reminded.

"No milk!" Pomona said fiercely and handed the tea to Tina.

Tina laughed so happily.

Pomona ignored her and drank tea alone.

Another difference between African mermaids and Mediterranean mermaids is that they like to look in the mirror. When they hide their tails in the water, they look like beauties dressing up in the mirror, but most mermaids do not have this habit.

"Lally is Dumbledore's student, although Dumbledore did not teach her transfiguration or fire magic." Tina said after a while, "I think she later volunteered to join Operation Kirin because of his influence."

"Why didn't you join?" Pomona asked.

"My sister joined Grindelwald and I can't leave." Tina said softly, "Like Newt, I am prohibited from leaving the country."

Pomona didn't say why she didn't sneak across like Newt. After all, Tina was an Auror at the time and almost lost her job.

When something is lost and found, you will know how to cherish it more than before, and it will be more difficult to let go. Long-distance relationships are indeed more difficult to maintain.

"In the record room of the French Ministry of Magic, he told me that he cut out a newspaper with my photo on it. My eyes were printed through the newspaper, like a ball of fire in dark water. In this situation, he

I saw him once, and I thought he was going to tell me about salamanders again." Tina looked at the black lake not far away and said, "We were almost executed together. I was in front, and they threw my happy memories into the devil.

In the medicine pool, I watched them..."

"Pensieve?" Pomona asked.

"No, no, it was a developing potion. It just floated on top of the really deadly potion. Thanks to Newt and Pisco for saving me." Tina said, "I was quite angry."

"Why?" Pomona asked.

Tina took a sip of tea.

"Theseus' fiancée, Rita, took the blame on her behalf to protect her from being expelled from school."

"So you suspect..."

"She helped us escape and was killed by Grindelwald because of it. I don't think we should continue to doubt the deceased." Tina sighed. "What I want to say is, this is how I felt at the lake just now, like

Fire in water."

"I want to tell you that another professor was involved in investigating this matter before. He picked up silver threads in the water, which is very similar to memories." Pomona said, "I believe what you said."

"Thank you." Tina smiled and said, "Let's continue walking after drinking tea."

"Not having a picnic here?" Pomona asked.

"I'm worried about Newt. He's alone at home. If you want to have a picnic, come to my house next time."

Pomona was tempted to ask Newt to move the magical beasts elsewhere. He and Tina were no longer suitable to take care of energetic animals.

But she didn't say anything, she drank the tea quietly, and then continued walking by the lake with Tina.

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

===========

After nightfall, Scamander and Tina sneaked into the archives of the French Ministry of Magic. The door in the vestibule of the archives was carved in the shape of a tree and looked like a neoclassical decoration.

When Pomona saw this memory from the Pensieve for the first time, he thought so, just like most people.

However, when they entered the archives room, as fluorescent lights lit up in the darkness, a vast stretch of shelves stretched out in front of them, all carved into the shape of trees, like a forest.

Scamander's Bowtruckle poked its head out of his pocket and squeaked excitedly. Pomona had not noticed it before, after all, Scamander had raised many "exotic" animals.

Is it possible that the Bowtruckle saw the magic wood that could be used as a wand material, just like Sniff saw the gold coins in the house.

The wood was pulled up from the ground, cut into certain shapes, and processed into furniture. It could not be alive. However, Ollivander felt that the wands in his box had some "character". It was the wands that chose their owners, as if they could interact with people.

Think the same way.
