Chapter 2763 Swan Song Eleven
Chapter 2765 Swan Song (13)
Pomona was waiting in front of an oil painting in the fourth-floor corridor.
The musician in the painting was playing a very soft and romantic song, which made her not feel bored while waiting here.
"Knox!" Sirius yelled.
"Shh!" She sternly motioned for him to be silent.
"Oh, are you afraid of being caught skipping class?" James sneered.
She really had nothing to say.
Many people in the history class were asleep, and Professor Binns wouldn't call names, so these two guys ran out.
"Where are Remus and Peter?" Pomona asked.
"Remus is resting, Peter is..."
"Let's go." Sirius said impatiently.
"What are you taking me to see?" Pomona asked.
"Should we tell her?" James looked at Sirius.
"The haunted mirror on the fourth floor," Sirius said.
After turning another corner, they came to a full-length mirror with a gorgeous frame.
She looked at herself, Sirius and James in the mirror and felt it was very unrealistic.
At this moment, she noticed a dark figure appearing near the corner in the mirror. She quickly turned her head, but saw nothing.
"What did you see?" James asked.
"Nothing," Pomona said, looking at the mirror again.
It's really weird. It often shows pictures of other places, rather than what a normal mirror should do, so it's called a haunted mirror.
"Why not come at night?" Pomona asked.
"We came tonight." Sirius said proudly.
"Are you going out at night without telling me?" Pomona asked.
"I don't want to hear screaming," James said.
Pomona wanted to give him a double punch.
"We found a small mechanism." Sirius said, coming to the back of the wall where the mirror was hung. There was a bronze butterfly lamp on the wall.
"Fluorescence." Sirius pointed his wand at the butterfly. After about a minute, the butterfly came to life, flapped its wings, and left the lamp.
"Look," Sirius said, "it follows the light."
Sure enough, the butterfly was flying around Sirius' wand, looking like a moth.
Sirius led the butterfly to the mirror. It soon lost interest in the wand and landed gently in the middle of the frame.
With a wave of magic, the mirror actually opened, revealing the space behind it.
"Wow." Pomona couldn't help but exclaim, "You guys are so awesome."
"Come in now." James said, and then walked in first.
"You stand guard at the door," Sirius said.
"Why?" Pomona asked unconvinced.
"If an accident happens, remember to save us." Sirius said with a smile, and followed James into the secret passage.
She was bored waiting at the door. About ten minutes later, James poked his head out.
"bring it on."
Only then did Pomona follow him in.
This is a large space, although it's not as big as the Room of Requirement. There are a lot of old furniture in it, and it looks like a long-abandoned storage room.
"That's it?" Pomona said disappointedly. She thought there was something special about this newly discovered secret passage.
"This place is different from what we saw at night." Sirius said, "The last time we came here was a study."
"What we see in the mirror is also different." James said, "What is behind the mirror seems to correspond to the reflection of the mirror."
At the time, she just thought it was a strange mirror and didn't think much about it.
Later I learned that the mirror was related to a female dark wizard whose grave was in the Forbidden Forest, and Pomona's favorite devil's net was found in her grave.
Georgiana twirled the fire opal ring on her hand.
The magical animal corresponding to the number 6 in the ancient runes is the salamander. There is one on the seat of the King of Wands Tarot card. It bites its own tail like the Ouroboros.
Severus had a fire salamander ring, which looked very similar to the lizard on the King of Wands' throne. The ring was said to be given to him by the Dark Lord.
At that time, the Death Eaters planned to enter Hogwarts through the passage between the witch's graveyard and the mirror on the fourth floor to assassinate Albus Dumbledore, the leader of the Order of the Phoenix. However, Sirius and James used magic to destroy the passage and prevent it.
of their actions.
In Sibyl's prophecy, the people who have the ability to defeat the Dark Lord come from families who have resisted him three times. The prophecy only said "resistance", not victory. Although Sirius and James stopped the Death Eaters' actions, they still failed.
Yes, the ring fell into their hands.
Severus used it to do blood research and used it to complete the exchange of life force. This is enough for some people to achieve the standard of immortality, but it is not enough for Voldemort. He is a very independent person and does not rely on
Anyone or anything, when he learned that once he drank the Philosopher's Stone, he could not stop drinking it, he lost interest in it and just wanted to use it to create a perfect body.
His pride does not allow him to suck the life force of people weaker than him. If he had no other choice, he would not choose Wormtail's hand to provide the "flesh" necessary for the potion.
Georgiana let go of the ring and drew another card from the tarot deck. This one was the Queen of Swords.
The Kingdom of Swords is from the front, while the Queen of Swords is from the side. Moreover, she does not wear a red cloak, but wears blue sky and white clouds.
She sits on a stone throne decorated with images of angels and butterflies.
None of the four cards she drew were major Arcas. They originally existed as supplements to fate.
Then she drew three more cards, namely World, Judgment and Inverted Justice.
This card has many similarities with the King of Swords. They are both men wearing crowns. The difference is that the background of the King of Swords is blue sky and white clouds, and behind Justice is a red cloth, as if it is covering something, and Justice
There is an extra scale in my hand.
She put the seven cards together and then drew another card.
"Madam." Margaret said softly, "Go to sleep. You haven't slept in two days."
"Come right away," said Georgiana.
Then look at the eighth card.
This is a Seven of Pentacles. A farmer is watching the plants he planted. The plants continue to grow and produce fruits of Pentacles. He is thinking about whether to pick these Pentacles and continue to use them as seeds, or use them to invest in other projects.
.
In other words, the farmer is very satisfied with his current life. His investment objects may be the King of Wands, the King of Swords, the Queen of Swords, and Justice, but there is no Pope. The only thing related to religion is the angel who blows the trumpet of the Last Judgment.
Among these eight cards, only Justice is upside down.
She looked at it and thought for a while, wrote down the card types, and then put them into the deck.
It's time to go to sleep.
