Harry Potter’s Morning Light - Chapter 2617 partake (nine)

   Chapter 2617 partake (nine)

  Even if Thestrals are fast, it will take a while to get back to Hogwarts from Greta's manor. In order to avoid an "emergency situation" on the road, and considering that she was the only woman on the carriage, Pomona decided to leave after the toilet at Grete's house.

This is a big house. Even if there are no moving stairs and secret passages like Hogwarts, it is still very difficult to find the toilet. It seems that the owner of the house hides the toilet as if it is not visible. There are no signs in the manor, tell me Which direction is the toilet in Pomona.

   "Oh~ Merlin's trouser legs!" Pomona muttered while looking for the toilet in a hurry, and finally found it in a place rarely visited by guests.

   It is not so much a toilet as it is a "palace". It is very luxuriously decorated, with flowers and a dressing table and mirror for makeup, so it is accurate to say that it is not a toilet, but a lady's dressing room.

   She sat on the toilet hidden behind the decorative wooden partition for a while, and just as she was about to get up, she heard footsteps of high heels outside, and then the other party closed the door.

   "Okay, now we can talk." A woman said from the door, her voice was very beautiful.

   "You found that wand?" said a man.

   Pomona was less shocked that men had entered the women's bathroom than she was curious about the content of their conversation.

   "Olivander won't let me in the back of the store, and even he has lost interest in me." The woman said, and with the sound of soft air, a scent of perfume quickly diffused in the dressing room.

  Pomona could smell this scent, and the woman outside seemed to be Janice the "before and after the night".

   "Try again, leave the warehouse alone and ask Ollivander who did he sell that wand to?"

   "Maybe I need Veritaserum," Janice said.

   "If you need it, I'm sure you can prepare it yourself," said the man.

   "I need Silence Birds, excellent..." Janice suddenly paused.

   "Damn it!" Janice complained, "Even he dared to do this to me."

   Pomona didn't hear back from the man, as if he was no longer "connected" with Janice.

  Pomona opened a crack in the door and found that it was indeed Janice. She stood in front of the dresser and applied lipstick to the makeup that had been rubbed off while drinking.

   "You are still beautiful." Janice announced proudly after finishing her makeup, looking in the mirror, then turned and left the dressing room.

  Pomona waited for the footsteps of the high heels to go away before coming out of the cubicle, and then she glanced at the dresser where Janice had been when she was doing her makeup, and a pale blue bottle was sitting on it.

   She walked over, picked it up and sniffed it, and found that it was indeed the perfume Janice used tonight.

   "No need for nothing." She muttered, put the bottle of perfume in the flannel pocket, and left the dressing room.

  ——————————————————-

After dinner in the auditorium, Snape suddenly proposed to listen to chamber music. After all, it was raining so hard outside, and everyone present had no plans to go out. Pomona immediately said that he wanted to listen to Feiliwei for the Triwizard Tournament. prepared music, so a group of people went to the music classroom on the fifth floor together after eating.

   Muggles needed musicians to play these instruments, and with a wave of Feliwick's wand, the instruments played according to his score, and soon the music room was filled with elegant classical music.

  Pomona was drowsy, and since she went back to the cellar to make up a mouthful of the compound decoction, she felt sleepy, as if the potion that Albus had given her was starting to fail.

In fact, Snape's evaluation of the Hufflepuff Gold Cup was overrated. The Sage's Stone can not only make people immortal, but also turn a stone into gold. It is a legendary panacea and can even create a human body. The "medicine" in the golden cup just makes people healthy.

  A healthy body has everything, if Janice is as disabled as an ordinary centenarian, no matter how beautiful she looks, no one will ask her to dance.

   In a daze, she seemed to see the cabinets in the archives of the French Ministry of Magic in Newt Scamander's memory. They did not have long legs like animals, but their movements were graceful and smooth, like sliding on ice.

   Then she thought, she could float those tinder bushes, but it's not an easy task to float the tinder bushes in the entire maze, what spell would she use to make it work?

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

According to Albus's own account, he found the Room of Requirement because he was in a hurry to find a toilet once, walked back and forth in front of a tapestry, and then saw a door appear on the wall. When he opened the door and walked in, it was inside. There are many beautiful chamber pots.

The House of Requirement was not included in the plumbing of Hogwarts. It is normal that there are no bathrooms in it. After all, Hogwarts is a medieval castle, and the function of the castle was not to make people feel living in it in the first place. Comfort is for defense and war.

   But by the time of the Battle of Hogwarts, the House of Requirement was filled with evasive people, both men and women. It doesn't matter if everyone sleeps in the tree house together, it's too inconvenient to have no place to wash.

   So the Room of Requirement "changed" out of the bathroom. It seems to be more closely related to the castle. In addition to the entrance and exit behind the tapestry, there are other entrances and exits. But it's also possible that it has something to do with the Vanishing Cabinet, since it was fixed by Draco Malfoy.

   There is such a legend, but it is only a legend, that King's Cross station was built on the site of a monument to King George IV that has been demolished. After all, the era of trains is not very long. Earlier, around the 1st century AD, a queen named Boudicca had led the Celts to launch a rebellion against the Romans. Eleven kings of the Celtic tribes had signed a surrender letter in exchange for some ruling power over their tribe, including Boudica's husband.

   In the following years, the Romans plundered England, and soon after Boudicca's husband died, because she had not given birth to a male heir, she became queen in Celtic tradition.

   But her two daughters were arrested and abused by the Romans, her estate was emptied, and minor relatives of the royal family were sold to Rome as slaves.

   So Boudica convened a secret meeting to persuade the tribes who, like her, were disaffected by the Romans to revolt together. The soldiers were covered in blue oil paint, and Boudika herself was dressed in colorful robes, with thick brown-red hair falling to her knees and a thick gold necklace around her neck. Behind her are women in black robes, holding torches, who, according to Tacitus records, are dressed like the druid's black-robed Banduri.

   For the next three weeks, Boudicca and the 100,000-strong rebel army launched a general offensive, when London was called Lundiniam, which means the place where the river flows. Because the insurgents attacked too fast, many Romans had no time to evacuate, but they still planned to resist by virtue of the strong fortress.

   At this time, people outside the city turned the river red and pushed it to the statue of the Roman God of Victory. Soon the army in the city was in chaos, and the rebel army entered the city and killed a large number of Romans.

However, the famine fell on the Celts at this time. In contrast, the Romans had food supplies from Egypt, Syria and other provinces, and the insurgent army itself had a complex composition, which was seriously lacking in organization, training and sophisticated compared to the Romans. weapons, the final uprising failed, and Boudica died of poison. Since she is the last ruler of the kingdom, it is said that the wealth of the entire country is buried with her in the tomb, and her deeds are admired by future generations, and she has become the guardian goddess of Sagittarius believed by fortune-tellers.

   In order to avoid disturbing her burial, no one knows the exact location, but it is rumored to be located between platforms 8 and 10 of King's Cross Station, which is where Platform 9 and 3/4 is located.

  There was a lot of opposition when the hidden platform was built, arguing that building it in the Muggle city center would instead attract more Muggle attention. But at that time the whole of the UK was in the process of overhauling and building the railway, and even if someone saw this extra railway, they would not care.

   In other words, platform nine and three-quarters is still inside King's Cross station, but ordinary people can't find it.

  This kind of "portal" doesn't lead to too far away, if you want to go far away, the wizards will choose to Apparate.

   It overcomes distance and makes people lose the process of "travel", it feels very unreal, but people have indeed reached that place.

   In the process of Apparition, you must clearly know your destination. When the destination cannot be plotted, how do you know where it is?

Diagon Alley did not cast the anti-apparition spell, but because there were a lot of hidden spells that could not be drawn, the Death Eaters attacking Diagon Alley was not Apparition, but Death Eater Flying, and the black smoke was not used for concealment. Yes, it looks very eye-catching during the day.

You can also Apparate by holding a photo of a place, but there may be a gap between the landing point and the photo, just like Pomona once looked at the photo in a travel magazine, imagined its location in his mind, and then used a hand drawn from Venice. He took the key, inserted it into the door lock, and when he opened the door, he arrived at a place similar to the image in his imagination.

  This position is random and is not controlled by Pomona. The key is that the two doors she opens are wooden doors.

  The vanishing cabinet can be fixed and more precise, but it can’t do whatever you want, you can only shuttle between two cabinets.

   This is the "homework" that Grindelwald left her. It seems that she can leave the "mirror world" after she figured it out.

   She still had a lot of doubts, a lot of mysteries waiting to be solved, but she was no longer interested in Muggle ideas.

   After all, she is not Queenie, she must marry Muggle Jacob, even if she would violate the laws of the United States, even Queenie joined Grindelwald's camp to overthrow the International Secrecy Act.

  Some mistakes can't be made once. The Death Eater mark on Severus' arm can't be removed for a lifetime. Even if he becomes the headmaster later, his portrait can't appear in the headmaster's office.

Albus and him have both Apparated at Hogwarts, the difference is that Albus used a phoenix. Fantastic animals always have special abilities to break through the limitations of human beings, unless they are like the circus master to prevent Zuwu from escaping Chain it.

At the chamber music recital that day, Albus talked about the connection between stellar death and human beings. The dust from supernova explosions makes up the material needed for new stars and planets, but metals need stars more massive than the sun. Produced, these substances later become the constituents of the human body, and this is how people are connected with the stars.

   Maybe human beings are equal in front of it, but life is not equal.

  Penny and Lily did not turn against each other because they fell in love with someone, but because Lily has magic power and Penny does not, there is an imbalance.

   Jealousy is an instinct, and it has nothing to do with excellence. A beggar will not be jealous of a rich man, but will be jealous of a beggar who begs more than him.

   Only when you have a comparison will you discover your own deficiencies and cause imbalances. Without comparison, you will not have this feeling.

  Cain killed Abel because God chose Abel's sacrifice.

  Maupassant has a story. The wife of a civil servant borrowed a friend's diamond necklace and lost it on the way home. She had to borrow money to buy a new necklace and return it to her friend.

   Even if her friend returned the real necklace to her, her face has aged, and wearing the necklace is not the same as it was ten years ago.

   The huge price gap between the two necklaces is caused by the fake necklaces being man-made diamonds and the real necklaces being natural diamonds.

  If there is a time-turner, tell her that the necklace is fake, but unfortunately the time-turner is also artificial.

   Until now she didn't understand Snape's "joke" about natural and artificial vanilla a little bit, though she didn't think it was that funny.
