Chapter 1008 The Long Road
Chapter 1009 The Locket
Before attending the ball, both men and women must dress up. Men will wear dresses and ties, and women will wear formal dresses and gorgeous jewelry.
After taking off the Black Swan's pendant, Severus put on the repaired Slytherin's locket for her.
After being slashed by the Sword of Gryffindor, the black magic on it was gone. The sword was as poisonous as the Basilisk after absorbing its venom.
It was just an ordinary locket, not even heart-shaped. Pomona sat in front of the dressing table and looked at herself wearing the locket, feeling very unreal.
Especially when Severus put on the locket for her and leaned his head against hers to admire it together, the snowflake earrings that had been cast on black magic emitted a scorching temperature due to his proximity, which reminded her of
The Dark Mark is said to heat up when Voldemort is nearby or when he wants to summon his servants.
"Do you like it?" he asked gently.
Pomona took the locket and opened it with her fingers. It was opened easily. There was nothing inside, but she felt like she heard the snake voice of "Sasha".
Most people would put portraits and photos of family members or people important to them in the locket, but Voldemort put his soul in it. She didn't know if it was her own illusion, but she felt that she was still left in it.
Black magic affected.
"This box should hold the Resurrection Stone," the voice in her head said. "They all belong to Salazar Slytherin."
The Resurrection Stone was after the era when Salazar lived, and it was probably obtained by the Gaunt family from elsewhere.
But Pomona didn't dare resist.
She had no time to pay attention to Harry Potter during the Battle of Hogwarts. She had always wondered why she knew it was in the Forbidden Forest and picked it up. Now she knows what happened.
.
"There is still something I haven't found." Severus stroked her arms with both hands and whispered in her ear.
"What?" she asked nervously.
"Smell the magic grass." He said with unsteady breath, "Another thing you want."
"I said he is a thief." Voldemort said with a smile, "You are only keeping this locket temporarily, it is not yours."
In the story, vampires bite beautiful women's necks and suck the blood flowing out of their veins.
If the vampire bites the carotid artery, the person bitten is destined to not survive.
Pomona looked at the scene in the mirror. The man kissing her neck was so pale that he looked like a vampire, which made the tender scene seem inexplicably terrifying.
She heard the sound of his lips sucking, and felt as if he was really sucking her blood. Her mind was dizzy due to "ischemia", and she fell softly into his arms.
"It's time to go." Voldemort reminded indifferently, "Don't let me say it a second time."
She pushed him away before the situation completely got out of hand, and the only sound of two people breathing in the quiet room was.
This place is not a mansion in South Kensington, but a world in a painting box. After Pomona moved the greenhouse, she also brought the preparation room with her. The furniture was "robbed" from antique shops in Venice.
This kind of Gothic furniture is incompatible with this simple wooden house, but it is the best they can do at the moment.
Severus cast a lot of defensive spells on the painting box yesterday, including the vampire expulsion spell. If it was too late, the painting box could also be used as a hiding place for them.
Pomona stored food inside, as well as a large vat of pig blood, and a lot of dragon dung.
Animals can identify information through excrement, and dragon excrement can make many dark creatures flee. Although Severus was disgusted that there was such a disgusting thing near the place where he lived, especially when there was only one ventilation entrance and exit.
In order to freshen the air in the world in the painting box, she bought a set of gas collection equipment. The biogas produced by the fermentation of dragon dung can provide fuel for the gas lamps in the greenhouse. The remaining dregs can be composted. With enough fertilizer,
The plants in the greenhouse can provide them with enough oxygen and potion materials, and the prototype of a fortress is built.
In the coming days, they will take time to continue to improve it, and she will also start taking birth control pills.
This thing can delay her cycle, and the bloody smell of menstruation will also attract vampire monsters.
Compared with men, women have so many inconveniences. In order to avoid becoming a burden on the adventure, she has to become "rough" and cannot be as refined as when she lives in the city.
Everything in the universe is changing, our bodies are changing, our thoughts are changing, our emotions are changing, and the emotions of the people around us are also changing.
Life plans, financial situations, pain or happiness, political situations, fashions, weather, etc. all change.
Even change itself is changing, nothing is eternal, and it is difficult for us to find a safe fortress to protect ourselves.
If you want to survive, you can only learn to adapt and adapt to one after another unexpected events. Once you adapt, you can survive. If the environment changes but you remain stubborn, you will inevitably be eliminated.
Every detail in nature reflects this detail. The compound eyes of insects, the wings of birds, the skin of poisonous snakes and poisonous frogs, and the functions of human brains all prove that organisms are constantly adapting to changes.
If you can't adapt, you will be eliminated like the dinosaurs, mammoths, and saber-toothed tigers.
There is a philosophical saying in the East: Heaven and earth are not benevolent, and treat all things as stupid dogs.
Pomona understood this sentence to mean that in the face of nature, no life is insurmountable.
This life is not just animals, but also humans. Dogs and cats can mutate through crossbreeding. Some are as cold-resistant as huskies, and some are as smart as shepherds. Humans have lost this ability to transform, but they can make up for this through technology.
Flexibility and adaptability.
Flexibility is the wisdom of practice and the wisdom of living in the present. It is written in Hufflepuff's rules: Adaptation is a kind of conquest.
The noble girls of Slytherin are very elegant, but the Hufflepuff girls who are also pure blood are different from them.
There will always be setbacks in life, even if you are fully prepared.
It is also transparent, and diamonds are not as fragile as glass. However, before they bloom with sparkle-like brilliance, diamonds are inconspicuous black stones and need to withstand high temperatures and pressures underground.
This is the case in the Earth College. Because they do ordinary and basic things, they are always looked down upon.
It's okay to act stupid, but don't be a real fool.
Pomona could still maintain a relatively clear mind in other matters, but when she met Severus Snape, her brain became a decoration. She was even worried about her appearance to him like an ordinary woman.
the attraction it brings.
It's stupid. Love not only makes people blind and selfish, but also reduces intelligence. But Voldemort was defeated by this power.
"Let's go." Severus regained his composure and said with a stiff face, not even looking at her.
She became worried about gain and loss because of this indifference.
In Wagner's opera, Tannhäuser is addicted to the carnal desires of Venus, the goddess of beauty, and willingly becomes a guard of Venus' cave. But no matter how beautiful the "color" is, there will be times when he gets bored. He is tired of this life and returns to Venus.
Wartburg, returned to holy Elizabeth.
Lily is always holy, is she still the one he loves most in his heart?
"I don't think he thinks that way." Voldemort suddenly said, "What do you women think about all day long?"
"How do you know he doesn't think so?" Pomona asked unconvinced.
"Let's go quickly, don't make trouble unreasonably!"
"Merlin's beard, do you think I'm being unreasonable!?"
Voldemort ignored her, and Pomona was so angry that she almost screamed.
"Did you forget to take something?" Severus asked standing at the door.
Pomona glared at the culprit.
"What's wrong?"
She ignored him and walked past him with heavy steps like a mammoth.
From the preparation room to the exit, you have to pass through the greenhouse, and the best lighting areas are reserved for sun-loving plants, and these plants can also block intruders if necessary. She has not yet decided where to place the hammock.
Everything is a mess and it's really annoying to look at.
