Chapter 2618 partake(10)

There is a phoenix dancing in the darkness.

However, when she took a closer look, she realized that it was not a phoenix, but a ball of flame, and it did not seem to be "flying" because of the soul of an animal attached to it.

It will not be reborn like the real phoenix, because it has never "lived". It is just a split part of a larger fire next to it.

It is like this when it is "born", and it is also like this when it dies. It will not experience a fragile period after nirvana like the phoenix.

And the phoenix is ​​not like a real bird that hatches from an egg.

It just appeared. The chick looks a bit like a crow, but raising a phoenix is ​​more than just giving it food.

You also need to feed it "fire", only in this way will it grow up and grow bright red feathers.

"Neville!"

Pomona took a breath of air, sat up from the bed, put on her shoes on the floor, and ran directly outside the office.

It was already dark at this time, but she did not use fluorescent lights. She had lived in this place for so many years and was already familiar with it. The castle was locked at this time, and she did not want to alarm Filch. Fortunately, she knew there was a secret passage.

It is located behind a portrait on the grand staircase, which leads to the dock.

After she came out of the exit, the boat that picked up the new students floated up and down with the waves, and then she crossed the lawn and ran to the Quidditch pitch. The rain outside had stopped, and the ground was wet. If you were not careful,

She would slip and fall, but she still made it to the tent area without any danger, and the lights were still bright inside.

Everyone was there, they gathered in a circle and talked, and Pomona had a bad feeling for a moment.

"Get out of the way!" she said to everyone.

The senior students made a way, and Pomona suddenly saw Neville. He seemed to have fallen into the water, he was soaked, and he was shivering wrapped in a blanket.

"You came back in the rain?" Pomona asked.

Neville nodded, "The flying... flying carpet has no... cover."

He stammered, looking like he was freezing.

"Won't you wait until the rain stops before coming back?" Pomona said, using a hot wind spell on Neville, and his clothes were quickly dried.

"It started to rain halfway through." Neville looked at his dry shirt. "Thank you, Professor."

"Come on, I'll give you some refreshing potion." Pomona said, holding Neville's shoulders and leading him out of the tent.

Originally, she planned to take him back to the castle, but she couldn't explain the problem of the secret passage. Fortunately, there was still some "stock" in the greenhouse.

When she returned to the greenhouse, she saw Fox still standing on the tree, and she suddenly felt uneasy. She had never thought of building a nest for him.

"Drink." She took a small bottle of refreshing potion from the locker and handed it to Neville.

After Neville drank the refreshing potion, steam erupted from his ears and his face looked much better.

"If this happens next time, stay one night at Scamander's house." Pomona put away the empty pill bottles, "Or let Tina drive you."

"She asked me to send you a message, saying that she was sorry and had a bad attitude when she left." Neville said, "And Credence...I...I can't remember clearly."

"Don't worry, think about it slowly," Pomona said, walking to the greenhouse next door and looking at Fox.

"Do you want to stay in the tree, or should I build you a nest like the one in the principal's office?"

Fox called, but Pomona didn't know what he meant, and she didn't know how to talk to birds.

But she still used transfiguration to turn an acacia seedling into a wooden frame similar to the one in the principal's office. Now Fox had a nest and branches to stand on.

When she finished her work and went back to see Neville, he looked at her with some fear.

"What's wrong?" Pomona asked.

"I don't remember." Neville lowered his head. "Mrs. Scamander told me a lot."

"But I think I understand what Tina is trying to say," Pomona said. "I shouldn't be so timid in the first place."

"Who is Credence?" Neville asked.

"Tina didn't mention him in a lot of what she said?" Pomona asked.

Neville shook his head, "She mentioned Grindelwald, the dark wizard that Dumbledore defeated."

"What did she say?"

"She said he took advantage of the boy, hey, I remember that!" Neville yelled.

Pomona was not pleased with Neville's "good memory."

"What's wrong, Professor?" Neville stopped smiling.

"Let's go, shall I take you back, or do you want to go back to the lounge?"

"Isn't the Gryffindor common room closed?" Neville asked.

"Minerva and I have discussed that if you can remember the password without a note, I can't help but tell you the password in the future." Pomona said, "How about you take advantage of the vacation to practice it."

"Simon and Dean will help me...but I will still try my best," Neville said.

"You go back." Pomona said, "It's too late. Go to bed early."

Neville nodded and trotted out of the greenhouse.

After Neville left, Pomona turned back and cleared the table. There were two cups on it, and the ice inside had melted.

She couldn't help but think of the scene before the rain, and for a moment she seemed to be back in the dark storage room.

"Maybe there is something added to Janice's perfume." She said in a daze. This was the only reasonable explanation.

In two days she could ask Potions Master Janice what was used in her perfume. Then she turned to look at the tinder bush behind her, which was burning slightly like a candle.

"It's great that you didn't become the 'chosen one.'"

Pomona said what she had not said just now.

Although Neville was unable to use a Patronus as powerful as Harry's at the lake, this is not a kind of "luck".

Then she looked down at the mud on her feet. If she returned to the castle like this, Filch couldn't threaten to punish her like a student even if she soiled the floor.

Speaking of being exploited, Peeves was also exploited by Nearly Headless Nick. At that time, Ron and Harry didn't know what they were doing. They entered the castle with their legs full of mud and were caught by Filch.

In order to save the two of them, Nick asked Peeves to throw the Vanishing Cabinet on top of Filch's head.

In 1992, it happened to be the 500th anniversary of Nick's death. Peeves thought that if he did as Nick asked, he would be able to attend the party. However, he was still not invited, so he lost his temper in the kitchen.

Nearly Headless Nick has no material form. Not only does he not have bright colors like Peeves, he also cannot move any physical objects.

She once thought Nearly Headless Nick had gone too far, until he saved Justin Farrelly's life.

If Nick hadn't blocked the Basilisk's view, Justin would have died by looking directly at the Basilisk, becoming the second Muggle to be "cleaned".

Some people are like this. They are obviously afraid, but as long as someone is more afraid than themselves, they feel less afraid. Draco Malfoy is this kind of person.

Neither he nor his father thought that the diary could be so powerful, and they talked about the monster mainly because at the end of the first semester, Albus suddenly added a lot of points to Gryffindor, allowing them to turn defeat into victory.

The reason was that the three of them violated school rules and went to the forbidden fourth floor.

'That's not fair!'

This is what Draco is worried about, but his father Lucius is worried about another problem.

The soul of the mysterious man is back?

Not in the form of a pearly white ghost, but possessing Quirrell. He himself did not want to become the second Quirrell.

So he put the things that the mysterious man gave him into a box and took Bojinbok. These things related to black magic should not be touched directly with hands.

Where they went is unknown, just like the broken Vanishing Cabinet, which was actually used by many wizards and witches during the First Wizarding War. They could escape through it when Death Eaters broke into their homes.

Later, people no longer used the disappearing cabinet to "disappear", because a Death Eater discovered the secret, and then all the Death Eaters knew it, and one of his Death Eaters even entered the school through it, and the "education" had not yet graduated.

How the reserve team tortured house elves with the Unforgivable Curse.

At that time, the greenhouse was still abandoned. The previous dean and professor of herbal medicine was more interested in drama. After Pomona came, the greenhouse became less "overgrown".

If the cabinet was broken, then it was broken. Even though it was very valuable, Filch was very unhappy that Peeves did not get his "due punishment", so he left the pile of junk alone and left it where it was.

Pomona decided to find a house elf to put it into the Room of Requirement tomorrow. Even if it was expensive rags, they were rags. What would foreign guests think if they saw it?

Anyway, there is no shortage of such expensive rags in the Room of Requirement.
