Chapter 2505 "Mutual Generation" and "Mutual Inhibition" (Part 1)

When Pomona came to the door of the principal's office, an old man with white hair had just walked out of it. Even though his back was facing her, she recognized him at once.

"Mr. Scamander!"

The old man turned his head and his eyes widened in surprise, as if he was wondering how this stranger knew him.

"Have you forgotten me? I almost became Rolf's dean." Pomona immediately introduced.

"Oh...oh! I remembered." Scamander said suddenly, "You are the girl who spent the summer vacation at my house."

She pursed her lips, unable to comment on his "good memory".

"After graduation, I chose to stay in school and became a professor of Herbology and the dean of Hufflepuff."

"Is your black ghost okay?" Scamander asked again.

Pomona was speechless again.

Turtles live a long life and are easy to take care of, but she still left it "free range" in the rainforest in the girls' lounge, and then she couldn't find it.

"It's good," she said with a smirk.

"Your tortoise is a sulcata tortoise. It lives in the Sahara Desert. You should not put it in a fish tank with water, and you should not feed it meat. It is a herbivore."

Mander said.

Pomona still kept smiling, "Have you eaten?"

"Actually, I'm getting ready..." Scamander pointed outside.

"After so many years away from school, I think you will definitely miss the food in the cafeteria." She continued with a warm smile and said, "Please be sure to tell me what you experienced during this trip. Will "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" be reprinted?"

Scamander was so nervous that he was speechless.

At this moment, there were footsteps behind her. She turned around and saw that it was Snape.

His dull black eyes stared at Pomona sinisterly for a moment, then turned to look at Scamander, then curled the corners of his mouth into a false smile.

"It's an honor to meet you, Mr. Scamander."

"You are..." Scamander looked at Snape.

"I am the Head of Slytherin, Severus Snape." He said and stretched out his hand towards Scamander. Scamander shook his hand gently, and then seemed to touch a

Snakes... maybe Scamander wouldn't behave like that just now if he encountered a real snake.

"I've heard of you." Scamander said dryly, "You are so young and promising."

"Thank you for the compliment," Snape said graciously.

Then no one spoke.

Time suddenly became very long.

"You have something to talk to the Headmaster about, right, Severus." Pomona said with a dry smile, then looked at Scamander, "Come on, let's go eat."

She was about to pull Scamander aside to make way for the old bat.

"Are you here today for the Hippogriff?" Snape asked aggressively, looking at Scamander.

"Oh!" she yelled.

"What?" Snape looked at her angrily.

'Don't ask him so directly!'

Her eyes widened, and for a moment she thought her eyes could convey the message she was expressing.

Snape obviously did not receive her message, and then turned to look at the old Newt Scamander.

"That hippogriff, the student it scratched is from my college."

"I know, his surname is Malfoy, right?" Scamander said calmly.

"Yes." Snape drawled out, sounding like a snake hissing.

"I heard that a basilisk appeared in Hogwarts last year. This basilisk used to live in Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets," Scamander said.

Snape squinted his eyes.

"Can I go see it?" Scamander continued.

"I think……"

"I'm hungry, let's go eat." Scamander said with a smile towards Pomona.

Pomona looked at the smiling Scamander and the expressionless Snape in amazement. She now wished that the children in the academy could see this scene.

"Let's go, don't block other people's way." Scamander reminded Pomona.

"Hagrid will also be in the restaurant." After the two of them bypassed Snape, the old bat said, "Do you think how he would cry bitterly and say that he failed to take good care of Sirius Black's pet?"

After saying that, he walked towards the principal's office with a proud step as if he had won a battle.

He opened the door without knocking, and then closed it with a bang.

Pomona and Scamander were both blown back by the wind blowing from the door and subconsciously leaned back, then looked at each other speechless.

"I heard from Albus that Buckbeak has been in Black's London residence." Scamander said, "How could it appear in Hogwarts? Black has already ridden it into the school?"

"No." Pomona pouted, looking lifeless.

"Then how..."

"Let's go back to the kitchen." She said helplessly, "Let's talk while we eat."

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

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

The abbess of the monastery was a woman in her 40s. When she heard that Georgiana was going to have a meal at the monastery, she originally welcomed her, but when she learned that in addition to the three of them, there was also a company of French soldiers, she hesitated.

Fortunately, the French brought their own dry food, found firewood in the forest, set up sentries at several important entrances and exits, and cooked French onion soup.

It is said that this dish was invented by Louis XV while he was hunting. Even stale baguettes will soften in this soup, and the butter and cheese can provide heat in cold weather.

It is difficult to eat this dish in mainland France. Thanks to the developed animal husbandry in the Netherlands, although young bulls cannot produce milk, they can be used as vegetable cattle. Milk-producing cows have been bred to produce large amounts of milk, but it is difficult to produce milk.

For meat, they are sent to Belgium for fattening.

The Belgians themselves also have to grow food. The situation is just like what Adam Smith wrote in "The Wealth of Nations". There is a competition between cultivated land and pasture. In addition, the food has to be exported to other countries. Farmers mainly eat potatoes.

The benefits that ranchers get from pastures are often higher than what farmers get from fields. Landowners who can get higher rents from pastures are more inclined to convert their land into pastures rather than cultivated land.

Although the "land enclosure movement" constituted "sheep eating people", the sheep's excrement made the land fertile and increased the yield per mu. She only figured it out after thinking about it for a while.

The "Agricultural Revolution" could not be achieved by using horse-drawn plows and using steam engines to increase power like the Industrial Revolution. The emergence of chemical fertilizers broke the ancient alliance between cultivated land and pasture, and people no longer needed the fertilizer produced by livestock to improve the soil.

In the past, her vision was limited to greenhouses, and the environment in a greenhouse is different from that in agriculture. The environment in a greenhouse is controllable, but farmland has to face changes in weather conditions, various natural disasters, and sometimes even man-made disasters. She remembers

The Battle of Waterloo took place in June, not far from "Earn Seed", and the wheat was almost mature and ready for harvest.

Even if this war is not trampled on by people or damaged by artillery shells, if a wildfire breaks out, it will cause huge losses. But it seemed to have rained heavily that year. Because of the rain, the fire did not light up. Likewise, the soldiers also

Gunpowder and flints need to be inspected before going into battle to make sure they have not been wetted by water.

People in the cold weapon age would use whetstones to sharpen weapons. On the day Buckbeak was executed, the executioner from the Ministry of Magic was sharpening his knife outside Hagrid's hut. She also heard it in the greenhouse, and it blew far away with the wind.

The voice sounded creepy and made Hagrid very uncomfortable. He shouted loudly at the executioner outside, but the other executioner remained unmoved and continued to sharpen his knife slowly.

In fact, the executioner did not have to do that, but when he knew that the sound would cause torture to others, he deliberately grinded slowly, as if the harsh sound was some kind of "fairy music" to him.

She missed her summer vacation at Scamander's house, which was probably what every child looked forward to most.

However, she also saw Scamander and his assistants cutting steaks and feeding them to the carnivores. After they were full, they would become docile and find places to eat on their own, but she had never tried to "knead them."

belly".

They are not cats. Even cats will get up and bite people if they are disturbed.

These animals often have economic value, but care must be taken when raising them, otherwise a careless keeper may become Pomona's favorite dragon manure when growing flowers.

It was really a good fertilizer. It not only had the fertility of chemical fertilizers, but also did not cause pollution. However, she was not prepared to raise a dragon like Hagrid just to obtain dragon dung.

As for the basilisk, it was placed in a secret room for almost a year after it died, but it was not decomposed by microorganisms (that is, rotted) like normal animal corpses. It took them several weeks to remove all the usable materials from it.

The materials were collected locally, and the money from the sale of these materials made Hogwarts a huge profit, making up for the losses after the "big benefactor" Malfoy withdrew from the school board.

So, Newt Scamander really came to school to save a Hippogriff?

It is undeniable that Buckbeak is a very rare species. It is all silver-white. Some species of hippogriffs have brown fur all over their bodies. This color is very suitable for the wild environment and makes it easier for them to hunt. But they

They are smaller, and no one will think they are "cool" after seeing them.

While eating porridge, she raised her head and glanced at the sky outside the window. There was nothing in the sky at this time, no players riding broomsticks playing Quidditch, and no guests arriving at Hogwarts on horse-drawn carriages. Of course,

There are no dragons either.

But a scream always echoed in her ears, which sounded like an eagle's cry.
