Chapter 8 Hogwarts Express
(Part 2)
The fields passing by outside the car window became more desolate. The farmland had disappeared, followed by a forest, a winding river and dark green hills. At Lily's request, Snape ate one as if he was being rewarded.
Sandwich, but without touching the sweets that all eleven-year-olds love, and then continued reading.
During the meal, Pomona discovered that Lily didn't actually like reading that much. She was also very talkative if someone wanted to chat with her, but Snape was by her side, so she was forced to become a person who loves reading.
, when she learned that Pomona had never been to the Muggle world, she began to talk enthusiastically about everything about Muggles, such as photos that could not move, cars that could not fly, and of course her sister Petunia.
.
"At least we can't see each other before the winter vacation, and she won't come to see me off." Lily looked very depressed, as if she cared about her sister very much.
Pomona didn't want to comment on people she hadn't met, so she stuffed the strawberry into her mouth. At this time, she accidentally discovered that the textbook Lily was reading was brand new, while the book Snape was reading was obviously second-hand.
, then she began to observe carefully, and even his robe was second-hand. Generally speaking, everyone would change into school uniforms when they were approaching school, but he changed into it early, as if to hide the old clothes under his school uniform.
.
"Hey, Sirius, look whose picture I got!" someone shouted loudly in the quiet corridor.
To be honest, he was really noisy. Snape had opened the compartment door to let some air circulate inside, but now he closed it again.
Lily looked at Pomona and hesitated to speak.
"Want to try your luck?" Pomona took out four chocolate frogs from the picnic basket. "Which one do you choose?"
"I choose... this!" Pomona gave Lily the chocolate frog she chose. When she opened the carton, the frog jumped out immediately, and the two girls hurriedly caught it.
"What is this!" Lily was very curious, even though her hair was messed up by the fun just now.
"Like I said, chocolate frogs!" Pomona gasped. "Each chocolate frog has a picture inside. You can collect them and see who you got?"
Lily opened the carton and took out the picture inside. It showed the face of a man, wearing a pair of half-moon glasses, a long crooked nose, and gray hair and beard covering most of his face. The picture
The name written below is Albus Dumbledore.
"Who is he?" Lily gave the picture to Pomona.
"You can look at the back of the picture." Pomona turned to look at Snape. "Do you want to try it? Mr. Snape?"
Snape really ignored her.
At this time, she turned her gaze to Lily again. The joy on her face had faded and she looked a little sad.
"What's wrong Lily?"
"It says that he defeated the dark wizard Grindelwald in 1945." Lily said softly, "Someone told me that Grindelwald wanted to eliminate all Muggles."
"As you just said, destroy all dementors. Muggles are indeed a threat to wizards. Do you know about druids?"
"I've heard of them."
"Druids mean forest goddesses. They occupied the dominant position in ancient Britain before Christianity occupied Britain. They were not only monks, but also doctors, teachers and judges. They taught young people with magic. However, they were massacred during the Roman rule.
After all, this is the contradiction between wizards and Muggles." Pomona said sternly, "If you plan to join the wizards, you must get used to keeping a distance from Muggles. They believe in science more than magic."
"So, you are a Grindelwald supporter?" Snape asked softly in a silky voice.
"No!" Pomona shook her head. "I'm just tired of war, and I have no interest in letting wizards be rulers again."
"Don't you like the fair use of magic?"
"Can we not talk about such a dull topic?" Pomona felt that this topic was really too heavy. She wanted to improve the tiramisu recipe more than talking about it.
"Then what do you want to talk about?" Snape asked perfunctorily.
"Are you a couple?"
"No, of course not!" As soon as Pomona's voice fell, Lily immediately shouted, "We are just friends."
Pomona looked at Snape, his eyes were as emotionless as the endless abyss, and he was still looking at the book in his hand.
"Besides, we are only eleven years old, so it is too early to talk about this." Lily said as if trying to make up for it, not knowing how much Snape could listen.
Maybe in Lily and Snape's minds, they have defined themselves as girls who only think about cakes and love, but Pomona doesn't care what they think, she clearly feels that she is not from the same group as them.
Hufflepuff represents mediocre qualifications, Lily is very beautiful, she will be very eye-catching, and Snape is also very eye-catching from another aspect. She suffered enough last time when she acted in a high-profile manner. In the next few years, she will be very eye-catching.
If you plan to spend the same low-key time, it is a good idea to keep your distance from them.
"Pomona." Lily said at a loss, "Why did you prepare lunch for four people?"
"The banquets at Hogwarts are all prepared by Hufflepuff, and we are used to sharing." Pomona said with a smile, "Food can make people feel happy."
"No." Snape looked away from the book, "Power makes people happy."
Pomona felt that she could never understand Slytherin. Rather than conquering and dominating, isn't it more important to learn how to get along well with others?
The rest of the journey became boring again. Lily started to take out the book and started reading again. Pomona was no longer in the mood to chat. She looked at the scenery passing by outside the window and watched the sky gradually turn from bright to dark, all in her mind.
It was the letter her father gave her.
Pomona, my dearest, forgive me for not visiting you for so many years. I can’t say more in this letter, but I hope you can know that I love you and your mother very much, and I have never thought of abandoning you.
, you are eleven years old this year, and the situation in the UK is not good. Maybe you will want to go back to France and study at Beauxbatons, but I must tell you, even if you go to Scandinavia, don’t go there, Hogwart
Zi is the best choice. Love you daddy.
Pomona didn't know why Beauxbatons became dangerous, but she still chose to believe in her father, a man she had always hated.
Many people think that beautiful girls should not be smart and are easy to deceive, but she would rather believe that her mother really fell in love with her father and gave birth to her.
Mrs. Sprout's home is far away from human society. This may be to protect her, or it may be a secret. To protect their safety, her father must leave her.
She is a little excited about the next life, but before she can enjoy life, she must learn to keep secrets, because this is the world of wizards.
