Chapter 2904 Water and Dreams (7)

Before Barty Crouch Jr. was accused by Karkaroff, he was recognized as a good boy. Not only did he have excellent grades, but he was also very obedient. He had never been rebellious, ran away from home, or did other mischief like Sirius Black.

.

There are no cameras in the Gotham subway. This is a world that is both under the sun and in the dark. When the subway is overcrowded, it is a public place with countless pairs of eyes watching, and cameras and other equipment can record it.

But at midnight, there was no one else in the subway except the five of them. After the girl left, only the clown and three other people were left.

These "good babies" no longer need to act in front of "adults".

They may not be monsters, they just had a bad day, but "elites" like them have to work in a place with people whose standards are much lower than theirs. Their self-esteem does not allow for mediocrity, so they work hard overtime in the hope of getting something.

Opportunities for promotion are the same as when you are a top student in school and you become the best among your peers.

They worked overtime until late, drank some wine together, complained a little, and made a "somewhat nasty" joke with a woman they didn't know.

But the pressure did not disappear. According to the kicking cat effect, they launched an attack on the clown, but they did not expect that the kitten would turn into a tiger, which killed them.

They didn't want to kill the Joker, and the Joker had a bad day. Even if it was self-defense, the Joker over-defended, not to mention he fired a few more shots later.

Bruno believes that the universe is infinite and has no edges, so naturally there is no fixed center.

The clown knows that he is an antisocial personality on the edge of society. He doesn't want to listen to an old man who has never been in a studio to tell him what to do rightly.

There was only one reason for him to sit there. In the past, he was just like the audience, who could only sit in his own seat and listen to people like Morrie talking. Now he can also sit in the guest seat and express his own thoughts and opinions.

He does not need to be like a good child and try every means to please his elders, thinking that obedient children will always be rewarded.

Those three good young men knew very well the benefits of abiding by social rules. They wore their disguises very carefully, and there was rarely a chance to see them take them off. But they knew that there were no cameras in the subway.

If those three young men had committed many serious crimes at such a young age, Morrie probably wouldn't have talked about it on the talk show. Criminals died in gunfire every day in Gotham.

Morrie's reason for accusing Arthur was based on false speculation and prejudice, and he felt that he was right, and that "everything" Arthur said was an excuse.

Pomona pushed open the door of the Leaky Cauldron. The witches and wizards in the bar glanced at her and then continued to do their own thing.

It’s hard to imagine that someone would have a birthday party in such a dark and old bar, but it was just a drinking party after get off work. No one cared about Priya when she lost her key, and even the bartender mistook Sleepy Bean for her. No one takes the mistletoe berries as a big deal. Maybe except for Puglia, everyone including the birthday party has forgotten about it. Young people always like to forget about it.

"What would you like to drink, Professor?" Tom asked.

"Have some Gamp," Pomona said.

Tom was a little surprised, "Are you going to challenge too?"

"I'm kidding, have a bottle of brandy," Pomona said.

After Tom brought the wine, Pomona started drinking by herself. She looked around, hoping to see where Severus was. Then she gave up, took out the comics again, and put them on the table to read.

.

In fact, there was a news item next to the newsstand about the Chernobyl leak. Almost all newspapers were publishing this news. She bought the Superman comic on purpose.

Even if the human world is really going to be destroyed, Hogwarts will still open as normal, and as long as there are students, they will still come.

Although the Möbius strip allows people to travel through time and space, it will trap a person in a loop forever. In comparison, the "parallel universe" based on the butterfly effect is easier to accept by readers. There is an earth in the story,

It is completely controlled by the villain, but it cannot escape the fate of being swallowed by antimatter.

"Professor, are you alone?"

The Pomer case looked up and it was Hagrid.

"Still the same, Hagrid?" Tom asked.

"Uh, no, I'm not thirsty today." Hagrid smiled awkwardly, but kept looking at Pomona's brandy.

"Two more bottles of brandy, boss, and a glass by the way," Pomona said.

Tom used the levitating spell to place the wine and glasses in front of the two of them from behind the bar.

"I don't usually like to drink," Hagrid said.

"I know." Pomona said, "Drink with me."

Then he clinked his own wine glass with Hagrid's.

"Are you worried?" Hagrid asked after drinking.

"One thing I just learned from the centaurs is to control the things you can control." Pomona said lightly and took a sip of brandy.

"Can I ask what it is?" Hagrid asked.

Pomona was thinking about how the wizards would react now that they were talking about Chernobyl and that the mysterious man would come back again.

It's just a door, but it seems to separate two parallel worlds.

"The centaurs don't like me, and my brother." Hagrid said angrily, "As soon as he appears, they will shoot him with arrows."

"You mean Graup?" Pomona asked.

"How many more brothers can I have?" Hagrid said mockingly, drinking all the brandy in one gulp.

Even though she was a half-giant, Pomona did not dare to underestimate Hagrid's drinking capacity. They drank a few more bottles one after another. Because Hagrid was with her, she felt much more at ease. She was in a better mood and drank more.

Already.

"Oh, I almost forgot, thank you for the dragon dung, Dean." Hagrid said, "Now the Barber stems are growing strong, and Grawp can eat enough."

"I think you should plant some pumpkins, and we'll buy some pumpkin soda later." Pomona said a little confused.

"Why, the food is enough." Hagrid said.

"Happiness." Pomona held the wine glass in her hand. "People can't just eat and drink enough in life!"

"Yes, I did it for this!" said a wizard next to him, and then drank the wine in his hand.

"It's so boring here, Tom. Is there no music or something?" Pomona asked.

"There's a record store outside," Tom said coldly.

Pomona did hear something.

"Open the door then."

"No!" the wizards and witches shouted, "Muggles will sneak in."

Pomona felt that she couldn't bear it anymore, and then Severus appeared.

"Let's go." he said.

"Did you find the key?" Pomona asked.

"did not find."

Pomona sighed. She felt that Priya's key had been lost.

"Shall we buy pumpkin soda?" Hagrid asked.

"Let's go," Pomona said, swaying as soon as she stood up.

"How much have you drunk?" Severus asked.

Pomona looked at his face. Is this face young or old? There was no beard, but he looked almost thirty years old.

She wanted to pretend to be crazy with a drink, but she was also worried that word would spread about the wizards in the Leaky Cauldron. Although Severus did not go to court, many people knew him.

Then they left the bar. Hagrid wanted to buy pumpkin soda at Honeydukes, and Pomona went with him.

"What are you going to do?" Severus said patiently.

"I want candy!" she yelled.

After he walked into Honeydukes, he casually threw a candy in her mouth.

Pomona tasted the Toad Mints, which danced in her mouth.

"Wow~"

She started to cry loudly.

"Why are you crying?" he said impatiently.

She didn't know what was worth crying about, but she cried anyway.

As a result, she became even more dizzy after crying.

"Let's go," Hagrid said.

"Where's the pumpkin soda you bought?" Severus said.

"I think I'd better brew it myself." Hagrid said in embarrassment, "It's too expensive."

"Just in time, let's take her back." Severus said impatiently.

"Do you need me to hold her?" Hagrid asked.

"No need." Severus said coldly, half-carrying the unconscious Pomona and left Honeydukes.
