Chapter 2656 Words of Silence

It is no secret that Albus and Grindelwald have a blood oath.

Because Grindelwald didn't hide it intentionally at all, he even wore the "medicine bottle" on his chest as a beautiful brooch, and many people have seen it.

On the contrary, it was Albus who "hid" the Blood Oath when Scamander brought it back, just like many other secrets.

Pomona took out the letter that Albus gave her again, because it was near the full moon, and even if there was no other light source, the pattern on the envelope could be seen by the moonlight alone, which was a phoenix with its wings spread.

There is a shield-shaped pattern on the chest, which is somewhat similar to the school emblem of Hogwarts, but a little different. It does not have the logo of the four houses. Instead, it consists of an insect and an a representing Albus's name. There is also a brother on top of the phoenix's head.

Special d.

The new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher has been decided, and he is Alastor Moody. As a former member of the Order of the Phoenix, he is very happy to help Dumbledore "look after" Harry Potter.

The other is Bartholomew Hayden, the entomologist she met at the Ministry of Magic. He can also teach at Hogwarts for a year as an exchange scholar, replacing Severus who went to Egypt to teach Potions.

Anyway, Albus had everything arranged and was waiting for Pomona to decide whether she wanted to give him the letter, just like many years ago when he asked her if she would accept Snape as Defense Against the Dark Arts professor.

The water of the Black Lake caressed her feet so gently that her feet, which were abraded by high heels, were healed and no longer burned in pain.

This reminded her of the story of the Little Mermaid. In order to reunite with the prince, the Little Mermaid used her voice in exchange for the magic potion from the witch and had human legs. The price was that every step she took was like walking on the tip of a knife.

superior.

"What revelation did you get?"

Centaur Firenze walked towards her while looking up at the sky.

She didn't want to talk for the moment. The night was so beautiful at this time. The moon was reflected in the black lake, as if she had a twin.

"Do you centaurs also have alchemy?" Pomona asked.

"That depends on how you define alchemy." Firenze looked at her and said.

"What do you mean?"

Firenze picked up a branch, and in a blink of an eye the branch twisted and turned into a "laurel crown."

"The crown symbolizes three meanings. As a crown material, it needs to have divinity. The second symbol is that it comes from the head."

"Where's the third one?" Pomona asked immediately when Firenze stopped talking.

"It's like a ring on your head."

Firenze's words surprised Pomona.

"Our opinions are very different from humans, aren't they?" Firenze said, looking at Pomona.

"I don't think anyone would mistake a tiara for a ring," Pomona said with a smile. "They would be eager to correct you."

"Are you going to correct me too?" Firenze asked.

"Please go on," Pomona replied.

"The crown represents the thinking of perfection and purity in alchemy, the ultimate product called the 'Philosopher's Stone', which has the power to activate and purify all energy, but it itself is easily contaminated, so

What should be used to purify it?" Firenze asked.

"To be honest, I haven't thought about it."

"This is what I said, how to define alchemy." Firenze said, "Mercury can represent mercury, or it can represent intelligence, logic and intuition. Mercury revolves around the sun at the fastest speed. The wheel of fortune reveals that there is no

Nothing is permanent. As long as you want to move forward, you will always encounter new problems. Can I ask what is bothering you?"

Pomona turned to look at the sky. "I can also find the answer from the stars."

"Then why didn't you think of that question just now? What can be used to purify the Philosopher's Stone that can purify everything?" Firenze asked.

Pomona was silent.

"Where did you learn Hermetic Alchemy?" she asked after a moment.

Firenze tilted his head and looked at her with blue eyes.

"Dumbledore told you?" Pomona asked.

"You are not the only wizards willing to talk to me," Firenze said.

Pomona looked at the lake.

Firenze blew gently at the "laurel crown", and the "leaves" suddenly broke away from the branches, floated into the air, and then quickly decomposed into fine sand. By the time it fell into the black lake, it had turned into dust.

"Has anyone ever talked to you about Muggle science?" Pomona asked.

"No," Firenze said.

"They discovered a force that is smaller than the flapping of a butterfly's wings or the wind you just blew, but it can start hydrogen fusion and ignite a star." Pomona pretended to be profound, but Firenze said

I wasn't curious at all, and I didn't take her words as a joke.

He just listened quietly. If you just look at his appearance, he is really good-looking. It's a pity that he is a horse person.

If it were Severus, those few sentences just now would be enough to arouse his curiosity. If he went to the Alchemy Center in Cairo, he would soon be attracted by the various knowledge inside, and he might not want to come back from now on.

.

Severus likes to catch school sweethearts in school, but actually he doesn't have to do this. The more forbidden it is, the easier it is to arouse resistance from them, as if their relationship is going through some kind of test.

Severus would definitely leave after getting the letter. The problem was Pomona. If Albus gave him the letter, who knows if she would go crazy and suddenly go with him.

Pomona only needed to hand over the letter to him, which was equivalent to giving him freedom. Egypt was so far away from Europe, no one would care about his identity as a Death Eater, and even without Albus's protection, he didn't have to worry.

She was the one who let him go. As expected, the person who has been bound by the oath for a long time knows best how to break the oath.

What's more, they don't have any oaths.

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

=========

At that time, Pomona was only thinking about this problem and completely forgot about the possibility of Voldemort "coming back".

Voldemort wanted to use the Philosopher's Stone to create a new body to complete his "resurrection", but Albus simply didn't believe that he could really do it.

Georgiana looked at the newspaper in her hand. It would be printed and sold tomorrow. The front page headline was about the fire in the Hope family's warehouse.

It's just that there were no cameras in this era, so there were no photos. We could only rely on prints or editors' descriptions to give people that "picture feeling".

The day after Theseus and Scamander escaped from Erstarch, the Daily Prophet published a piece of news: The ferocious Muggle, Jacob Kowalski, wanted to assassinate Grindelwald.

No one will remember a "news" from decades ago, but in the pensieve, Newt's memory is still "fresh". First of all, let's not mention the question of whether Muggle Jacob is cruel or not, even if Grindelwald is not

Making waves in the UK like in Europe, he is not completely uninvolved in the UK. At least the Daily Prophet should be under his control. The editor would only write such an article if he was under the Imperius Curse.

Qilin gets along well with Jacob, and its eyes can see through all disguises.

Unicorns also like pure people, but they prefer girls, while unicorns will choose leaders, kings, etc., people who can bring changes to the world.

Dumbledore would choose people with kind hearts and special talents to perform tasks. He trusted Hagrid and asked him to be responsible for carrying the Philosopher's Stone.

Why Muggle Jacob? He is like a worn-out frying pan, ordinary and ordinary.

This matter... it's a long story. No pure soul wants to be involved in murder, but he was a soldier who participated in World War I. How could he not commit murder on the battlefield?

There were many "strange people" in the Order of the Phoenix, and Pomona didn't know whether Albus defined Severus as a "kind-hearted" Death Eater or a "specially talented" Death Eater.

If Severus was willing to change his mind and stop studying dark magic, not only Albus, but also Lily would look at him differently.

It's not like Albus never got angry. After Voldemort was resurrected, he went to find Moody pretending to be Bardy Crouch Jr. At that time, you could see how terrifying the old lion could be when he was angry.

He was severely tricked, and this impossible thing was actually succeeded by Voldemort.

The so-called paternity is what Albus can give to Severus, and he can also take it away. Although Severus's life was not given by Albus, his academic life was.

Oh, by the way, the children in the school don’t know that Snape is also a world-famous alchemist, but the distance between him and Albus is a bit far, just like the bottom of a pyramid looking up to the top of the pyramid, except for Nico Flamel,

There was no one in front of Albus who could stop him.

But Nicoléme could live forever, but with the Philosopher's Stone destroyed, this "throne" had to be replaced by someone else, but no one expected that Voldemort would be resurrected.

The truth is a beautiful and terrifying thing. The Daily Prophet would rather publish "Harry is a liar" and "Albus is an old fool" than publish the news that "Voldemort is resurrected" until the battle of the Department of Mysteries.

Everyone places their hopes on Albus, but he is already old, and Voldemort will not show mercy like Grindelwald because of his old love.

Grindelwald hung the bottle around his neck. As long as he had the thought of violating his oath, the chains of the blood oath would be tightened at any time. Of course, the consequences of strangling the neck and strangling the hands were different.

In the face of absolute power, are strategies useful?

But Voldemort, who had the Elder Wand, was still defeated by Expelliarmus.

It was the weak nuclear force that was so tiny that it could be ignored, and it changed the entire world.

Harry is just an ordinary boy. He went to time travel thinking he could change something, but in the end he just "replayed" the things he noticed before traveling.

He felt that nothing had changed, because Sirius still had not recovered his reputation, but his original purpose was to save Buckbeak and Sirius.

Hermione uses the time turner to seek knowledge. Only when the purpose is pure enough, turning the time turner will not "idle", but will bring people to the time she or he wants to go.

Greed is an original sin, but we still commit it intentionally or unintentionally.

Fortunately, Hermione finally realized that even with the Time Turner, she still didn't have enough time, so she cut out some courses, including Divination.

This also led to her not being accepted by Slughorn to receive alchemy lessons in sixth grade, although she was one of the very few students who could understand Slughorn's theoretical lessons.
