Chapter 2805 Red Hunger (7)

The Weasley family's house is built in a reed field, and although it's hard to see, they do have a large overgrown garden.

There were so many goblins living in the garden that the Weasleys had to clear them out regularly and throw them over the fence. But the goblins always snuck back because Arthur was too tolerant of them.

For this reason, the Weasley family raised a "pet" ghoul, whose food was goblins. The relationship between ghouls and goblins is like a cat and a mouse, although Patsy kept a mouse as a pet.

The business of Jingle Bar has become extremely good due to the arrival of students. In addition to the fruity fire weed juice, the bar's mango chicken sandwich is also very good. Barnaby also ordered one with peas.

Stewed chicken soup, which is already a small amount based on the amount of food he usually eats.

"You said you tracked the horned beast for a year, what's going on?" Severus asked Liz.

Liz quickly told the whole story.

Last year, Liz, like all fifth-grade students, was preparing for the OWS exam. When she was checking information in the library, Peeves ran in and caused trouble again.

Mrs. Pince tried to kick him out of the library, but it seemed to make the library even more chaotic. After Peeves left, the library was in a mess.

Mrs. Pince used "restoration as before" to return most of the books to their original positions, but a few pages of yellowed paper were left on the ground. Liz accidentally saw them and picked them up.

"I want to put it back where it belongs, but I don't know which book it fell from." Liz explained quickly.

"What happened next?" Snape asked.

"I realized it was a map," Liz said.

Following the map, Liz discovered a secret cave, but she didn't know how to get in. After going there several times, one day she found a series of footprints of a horned beast at the entrance of the cave. The footprints were so deep that they looked like...

Carrying something very heavy.

"The set of footprints went into the cave, but I don't know where the cave leads and whether there is any other exit." Liz said.

Snape looked at her grimly.

"Where's the map?" Pomona asked.

Liz immediately took out the map from her leather satchel.

"It leads to the mine." Liz said. "Elves are the best at digging tunnels."

"How did you know about the helmet?" Severus asked.

This is the result of Leeds' observation. Ordinary river valley trolls are not as ferocious as mountain trolls, so the wizards thought of training the trolls into bodyguards.

But their intelligence is really limited, and they can't teach it no matter how hard they teach it. The giant monster wearing the helmet is obviously much smarter than them. The one that Barnaby killed just now can even tame the horned beast.

Then Liz discovered that the temperament of the trolls would change drastically after wearing the helmet, so Liz thought it was a magic item created by the Goblin King in order to develop soldiers who would obey his orders.

"It's not just me who thinks so, but also this." Liz found a few more pages of yellowed paper and put them on the table.

The author of the drawings and information is named Helios Black, and the time recorded coincides with the period of the Goblin Rebellion.

"I can't believe I would say that." Liz said sadly, "But that troll will keep attacking until we die, or he dies himself. That helmet destroyed the troll's brain."

"Like the Inferi," Severus said.

"That's right," Liz said.

"Can we stop talking about this topic?" Barnaby said irritably. "I have to go to the blacksmith shop to order a collar for Louie."

Although Lu Wei is small now, when it grows up, ordinary ropes will not be able to tie it.

"Let's go when we're done. You'll be going against the current when you go back," Severus said.

After the four people left the bar, Pomona grabbed Liz.

"You lied, didn't you?" Pomona said in a low voice.

Liz felt extremely guilty.

"What else didn't you say?" Pomona asked casually.

"Helios Black is the ghost of Hogwarts, and he is a member of the Headless Hunters." Liz said anxiously, "He is dead, senior, and he doesn't know how he died."

"His head was cut off?" Pomona asked.

Liz nodded repeatedly.

Pomona didn't know what to say. Liz actually did such a dangerous thing and kept it secret for about a year. If another accident happened...

"Hi, Professor." Rudy walked towards Pomona.

"What's the matter?" Severus said.

Rudy looked at him.

"I'm going back to school first, 'Professor.'" Pomona said to Snape, and then looked at Rudy.

He understood, and Pomona left with the two students.

The journey back was indeed difficult and took longer than traveling along the river. Fortunately, a mermaid picked them up.

For most students, this was a somewhat hiccup-filled trip to lockdown, something to talk about later.

But Pomona doesn't want this matter to be in the newspapers. She plans to give this "credit" to the school. She believes that Barnaby will not care. The trouble is Rita Kister. She has been planning it since last year. Whether it is

Writing about a child of a Death Eater who continues to do evil and arouses everyone's anger, or whether a child of a Death Eater who abandons the dark side and turns to the bright side and arouses everyone's sympathy, is more "juicy" than the article she is writing now.

The only barrier is that Rita Kister is an outsider. It is hard to say how effective this barrier is now. Every time she sees Emily going to the Owlhouse to deliver a letter, Pomona is frightened, but she cannot remove the owl.

After being stunned, read the contents of the letter.

After returning to school, the sun had set. Pomona was sleeping on the sofa, not wanting to move at all. No matter she was awake or asleep, the small wounds on the horned beast always appeared in front of her eyes. Although these wounds were very small, they could

It's already terrible to have a horned pack animal left on its body.

Then she thought of Grawp. In the past, she had asked Severus to use his invisible force on him. Could anyone be like her?

There are differences between trolls and giants, not just in height and size.

Grawp didn't wear shoes, he was barefoot all year round, but he had a complete set of clothes, not to mention Hagrid.

A black shadow appeared in front of her eyes. She raised her head and found Snape standing next to the sofa.

She didn't want to talk now, and she was just as dazed as before.

"Did the Inferi scare you?" he said in a low voice, with mockery in his tone.

"Can you hug me?" she said.

He was silent for a while.

"Your request is a bit inappropriate," he said in a drawl.

"Then get out!" She climbed up from the sofa.

He hesitated for a moment, then sat down where she had just been lying, and Pomona immediately rested her head on his shoulder.

He was stiff for a moment, then relaxed, standing as straight as a piece of wood.

"Have you ever been to the Hufflepuff Lounge?" Pomona asked.

"No." He said calmly.

"When we have 'difficulties', we will rely on each other like we do now, no matter who is sitting on the sofa." Pomona said, "One person cannot bear the burden of this world, the troubles of this world.

, one person cannot bear it, no matter he is a human or a giant."

He took a moment to digest, and then awkwardly stretched out his hand to give her a hug. Pomona hugged him back, just like she did in the snowy mountains of XZ that year.

In the smell of sage, she fell asleep quickly, and there was no scarred horned beast in front of her.

She saw a knight in black riding a flaming horse that seemed to come from hell to a hill, and then used his superb riding skills to make it stand upright. Behind him was a huge full moon.

That scene was so unreal that it could only appear in dreams.
