Chapter 2816 Red Hunger (18)

The Astronomy Tower is the tallest tower in Hogwarts Castle. To get there, you need to climb a steep spiral staircase. But this tower is actually the newest tower in Hogwarts. It was proposed by the 16th-century Headmaster Fusco.

of.

At first he encountered a lot of resistance. People thought there was no need to build another tower in the school. There was a watchtower on the top of the hill east of Hogwarts. It may have been originally used by the rangers to prevent forest fires.

, and was later used as a military facility.

In addition to being used for climbing and telescope, it is also very suitable for observing stars. Like Hogwarts Castle, it is a ruin in the eyes of Muggles.

Whenever there is an astronomy class, the little wizards will ride their broomsticks and fly to the tower after dark. There will often be a magic lamp hanging in front of their broomsticks, and they will hold books and stationery for the class in their arms.

Maybe one day, a confused little wizard accidentally dropped his astrolabe from his arms and fell into the black lake. It passed over the water plants at the bottom of the lake, the mermaid's home and the mysterious ruins, and finally fell into the mud at the bottom of the lake.

middle.

But not everyone can ride a broomstick, or the riding surface is very bad, and they may even fall into the lake.

This kind of distress is incomprehensible to many people. For them, flying seems to be a necessary survival skill. From this, we can understand Artemisia Blackwood’s mood after giving birth to a squib daughter, even though her daughter did not

There is no obvious physical disability, she simply cannot use a wand.

Some mothers can take care of a disabled child patiently, and some can't. In short, all this has changed after the promulgation of the International Secrecy Act. In order to avoid being seen by Muggles, playing Quidditch must be hidden, let alone riding a broom.

Flying to such a high place. Eventually the astronomical tower was built, but no matter how high it was built, it was still not as high as the mountain opposite.

"Get up!" Ben Cooper said to the broomstick lying on the ground, and it came into Ben's hand obediently.

"Okay, now ride on it." Professor Carter said. He was wearing a dark red cloak that was of good quality and looked very warm.

Ben did as Carter said, but the broom flew up at an anxious, slow speed. Ben sat stiffly on the broom and flew around the practice field for first-year students.

Even a layman like Pomona can see how bad this enclave is, and maybe it would be better if he didn't go on this swamp adventure.

"What are they doing?" asked Severus, who was also wearing this thick cloak.

"Out-of-school tutoring," Pomona said dryly, "Carter is going to teach them how to get rid of the swamp ooze."

"In winter?" Severus asked.

Pomona shrugged.

"How's your investigation going?" Pomona asked.

"He's looking for something." Severus said, staring at Carter. "He went to the restricted area several times."

Pomona felt strange, she thought Carter was going for the Sword of Gryffindor.

"And he has some financial problems," Severus said.

"What's his 'hobby'?" Pomona asked.

"Just like ordinary men, he spends money lavishly, but his biggest problem is not that." Severus said.

"What?" Pomona asked.

"He wanted to buy Bojin Bock, or at least take a stake in it."

"Are you kidding?" Pomona yelled in disbelief.

"I don't like 'jokes.'" he said seriously.

"Will Boginbok be OK?" Pomona asked.

"As long as Carter gives him a price he can't refuse."

She was speechless for a while.

"That's probably going to cost a lot of money," Pomona said.

"I asked Lucius, and even he didn't dare to have such an idea. I can only say that he is crazy." Severus said.

"Why does it have to be Bockin's Bock? Isn't there another store in Diagon Alley?" Pomona asked.

"When the Dark Lord graduated, the Ministry of Magic offered him many positions, but he rejected them all. Instead, he chose to work as a clerk at Borgin Bock." Severus looked at Carter and gritted his teeth and said, "And I think he seems to know how to make money.

Way to make big money.”

"Do you also want to make a lot of money? Professor." Pomona said jokingly.

He smiled at Pomona, looked at Carter again, and then left the courtyard.

Pomona looked at Carter, who was riding on his broomstick and struggling to help Ben adjust his flying posture. She wondered if Ben would be so enthusiastic if he wasn't a Gryffindor.

Why did he give her an invitation letter to go to London, as if he wanted to send her away?

"Dean."

Pomona looked down and spotted Tonks with brown hair.

"What's the matter?" Pomona asked.

"When are we going to Hogsmeade?" Tonks asked hopelessly.

Pomona has a splitting headache. Is she going to follow the example of others and say that this is a rule without creativity?

When we were young, when we were told that you are too young to do this or that, we always hoped that we would grow up quickly so that we could do what we wanted to do.

But when we really grow up, we want to go back to our childhood.

"What we have to deal with is something beyond our personal strength." Pomona said, "There was a man who told his son that as long as he was as powerful as the Dark Lord, he could do whatever he wanted. Do you think Dark Lord

Can the Demon King deal with something beyond his own strength?"

Tonks shook her head.

"Why not?" Pomona asked.

"He can't control everything," Tonks said. "My mother said her mother couldn't either."

"We don't have control over everything, so that's why we have that consent form that the parents have to sign," Pomona said. "But I hope one day it won't be necessary anymore."

"Will that day come?" Tonks asked.

Pomona begins to try to understand the Bubble Pod seen in the Mirror of Erised. Is that an impossible future?

"Dean?" Tonks asked.

"Would you like some Honeydukes candy?" Pomona asked. "How about we go to the kitchen and make our own?"

"I want a chocolate frog," said Tonks.

“I don’t have a collection of pictures that I do,” Pomona said.

"I just want to watch it jump!" said Tonks.

Pomona had seen many strange children, but Tonks was considered normal.

"Let's go." Pomona sighed and took Tonks' hand to the kitchen.

Unexpectedly, he was the one who was the nanny. Barnaby and Liz didn't know where they had gone.

I hope I didn't run into a corner and kiss secretly, as this progress would be too fast.

When he came outside the auditorium, Pomona saw Felicity decorating the Christmas tree. No matter what happened outside, it was still business as usual in the school.

She looked at the decorative ribbons.

In fact, in the Middle Ages, red represented sacred love and true love, while green also represented love, but it represented profane love and forbidden love.

What do they represent when the two are fused together? Both sacred and profane, true and taboo?

People give colors too many meanings, and maybe there is nothing at all, just like Pomona who thought that Barnaby and Liz becoming a couple was just wishful thinking.

If they are just friends, why bother thinking so much?

"How about a little blue?" Pomona said to Felivi.

He looked back at her.

"Where to add it?" Felivi asked, looking at the Christmas tree.

"You have to figure it out, genius." Pomona said with a smile, leading Tonks away.

If Liz had a question, she could always come to Pomona's office, just like Felivi's office door was always open for anyone who wanted to ask a question.

A mother cannot control everything about her daughter, let alone a teacher. Thanks to Andromeda for reminding her.

"How about we make a gift for Mom and Dad and send it back with a cat head?" Pomona asked Tonks.

"They will think they are sending me the acceptance letter again." Tonks curled her lips, "They have been waiting for the owl flying from Hogwarts all summer."

Pomona laughed.

She had thought about what gift to give Andromeda, hoping she wouldn't be too surprised and thought she was 11 years old again.
