Chapter 2762 Song of the Swan Ten(1/2)
Chapter 2764 Swan Song (12)
"Lily and Snape sitting in the tree, k-i-s-s-i-n-g..."
The girls' singing came from the other side of the dirty creek, sounding full of joy.
"Ignore them, Sev." Lily smiled nonchalantly, "Let's continue."
His eyes shifted and there was a fairy tale book on the boy's lap.
Pomona lowered her wand.
"Continue." The boy in Slytherin robe said with a pale face. His face was covered with sweat and there was a painful expression on his brows.
"Let's take a rest." Pomona said tiredly. "Legilimency is also very tiring."
He then relaxed and stared at the ceiling of the greenhouse with dull eyes.
Pomona mixed the softener with pumpkin juice and handed it to him.
"I hate that story." Snape said old-fashionedly without taking the pumpkin juice.
"Which story?" Pomona asked.
"Fountain of good luck," said Snape.
Pomona shrugged.
"You don't ask why?" Snape asked.
"I find it boring too. It's the same drama every Christmas, even if the actors are changed, there's nothing new."
"That knight is useless." Snape sneered.
Pomona knew a little about the feud between "Sev" and James Potter. It seems that on the train, James said he wanted to enter Gryffindor House and become a knight or something.
James also thinks "Snot Man" is unreasonable.
Their conflict is not entirely due to the red-haired Lily.
Pomona took another sip of pumpkin juice.
After seeing so many of Snape's dim memories, it was not difficult for her to understand why he liked Lily.
She was like a flame in his life, not only bringing light and warmth, but also refreshing the smoky place. Even the river with dead trees where they often stayed was purified.
He only had Lily in his eyes, and didn't notice the garbage and the smelly creek at all. Lily kept listening to him, and together they imagined their lives after they entered Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry at the age of 11.
"Are you jealous?"
She heard a voice say.
She felt angry, but not because she was jealous of some redhead.
At this time, she noticed a dark man standing behind the young Snape. He looked like a tall shadow.
"Get out!" she shouted angrily.
Then the moonlit greenhouse disappeared, replaced by a blazing fire.
She was in a daze and found that she had fallen from the sofa to the floor, not far away from the office fireplace.
Even with the fire, she still felt very cold, and she huddled up into a ball.
The Fountain of Good Luck stopped performing before Severus and the others entered school, and Professor Kettleburn ended his probation period. The exploding ash snake put him on "probation" again.
She never knew why this play was rehearsed as a pantomime. She believed that most people were still used to "talkie" stories with lively music and lines. Until Albus once mentioned the movies of his youth during dinner.
Silent, it is like a "prehistoric relic" to young people.
"knight."
She said softly, it seemed that in people's minds, all knights had to ride horses, even if they were as skinny as the knight in the Fountain of Good Luck and Don Quixote.
Horsemen are cavalry compared to infantry without horses, but they are not knights.
In Harry's first year at school, Minerva arranged a gargoyle chess game, in which Ron rode a black stone horse and became a "knight". The "rook" played by Hermione and the "bishop" played by Harry both
Follow his command.
"Accio."
The tarot cards in the corner did not fly over as she expected, they fell in front of her like fallen leaves.
The first thing that fell into her palm was a picture of the King of Swords. He wore a red cloak like the Knight of Swords and held a long sword in his hand.
He sat on a stone chair, carved with a butterfly, like the pattern on the saddle of a knight with swords.
There was a knock on the door.
"Come in," Pomona said.
The office door opened and a dark figure walked in.
"Professor, the giant is looking for you." Filch said at the door, his cat Mrs. Lorris was staring at Pomona with her red eyes.
"Please call him Professor." Pomona corrected, "Hagrid is already the Care of Magical Creatures professor at Hogwarts."
"I have brought the news. The door of the castle is open. Let's go, Mrs. Norris."
Mrs. Lorris turned around and left. Even ignoring the ugly appearance of the cat, Pomona had to admit that it was a nasty cat.
Pomona stood up from the floor, placed the King's Sword in his hand on the low table, then picked up the invisibility cloak, turned it over to the lined side, and left the castle in the night.
It had just rained, the grass was still wet, dewdrops wetted the hem of her robe, and the Quidditch pitch not far away was shrouded in mist.
A tall woman stood out because she was wearing a white robe. Next to her stood a slightly shorter man, who was obviously Hagrid.
They seemed to be talking. When Pomona got closer, she realized that it was not just the two of them, but also Albus, Ludo Bagman, Minerva, and Moody. When she got closer, she saw Livi.
.
"Ha, you're finally here!" Ludo Bagman laughed. "Come on, let's go in and see what the maze is like?"
"Where is Karkaroff?" Pomona asked the two principals.
"I don't know." Madame Maxime looked at Albus, "Have you seen him?"
"I think Principal Karkaroff has other things to worry about, let's get started." Albus said with a smile, and entered the maze with everyone.
The faint blue light of the Goblet of Fire can be seen even in the fog. There are many small flames around it, which are emitted by the newly sprouted tinder shrubs. They look like the moon and stars in the starry sky.
Because there was no hedge to block them, they arrived quickly. The "water room" that was originally the core of the power plant was now transformed into a fountain. This was Albus's suggestion, so it looked more like a garden.
"We're here." Hagrid said, "We're ready to start."
"Wait a minute." Pomona said as he handed a few red stars to everyone present. "Please remember, you must take it with you when you enter the maze."
"What is this for?" Ludo Bagman asked confusedly, holding it.
"For safety." Madame Maxime conjured up a brooch and pinned the red star to her clothes.
Ludo Bagman saw that Dumbledore also turned the star into a necklace and hung it around his neck, so he also pinned the star on the whistle on his chest.
After everyone had brought the stars, Pomona took out his pocket watch.
The dream potion must be drank "at the same time". The time they agreed on was 9:45. Although the more ideal time is 11 o'clock, that is too late. It will not only affect Filch's door to the castle, but also if there is a big movement,
Instead, it will wake up sleeping people.
At this time, people in the castle are still active and focused on their own lives. They don't care about the "empty" Quidditch pitch.
When the time was up, Pomona poured the potion into the fountain.
It is not dissolved in water or diluted by it, but extends in all directions like a red light band floating on the water.
The fire bush that Hagrid sprinkled on the ground had just begun to sprout. Originally it only produced a candle-like fire. When the red light stream passed by, the flames began to spontaneously become windless and seemed to be extinguished.
"It's not the wind." Livi looked around and said, "The fog has not changed."
Others also looked around.
Pomona couldn't help but worry, and looked at the watch again. Did the intern pour the medicine into the Goblet of Fire?
The flame that was about to extinguish gradually began to burn, became more and more prosperous, and finally turned into a huge fire.
Just as Pomona was about to use the extinguishing spell, Albus took out his wand, and the fire that was about to get out of control turned into a fire tornado and soared into the sky.
There were bursts of thunder from the cumulonimbus arranged by Felivi, and then a bolt of lightning suddenly struck the fire tornado.
The fire tornado "broken" and turned into butterflies or birds, which slowly fell to the ground.
At this time, the blue flames in the trophy suddenly turned red, spitting out a red flame, just like when it spit out the champion's note. It was connected with those "ashes", and when it landed, the red flames
The fire had turned blue and then went out one by one.
"Congratulations." Feliwei looked at Pomona. "You succeeded."
Pomona felt like he was dreaming, when Albus lit the candles used in the auditorium, which made the fog disappear. Then he took out the deluminator as promised and sucked away the light.
"Next, it's your turn," Minerva said to Hagrid.
"I won't let you down." Hagrid said cheerfully. Mrs. Maxim stood aside reservedly, not even looking at Hagrid.
"Let's go." Albus put away the Deluminator and led everyone away.
