Chapter 2906 Water and Dream (9)(1/2)

 Chapter 2908 Water and Dream (11) Repair

Pomona sprayed the bedroom with insecticide-laced water mist.

Two cattails sneaked in some time ago. If there are really bugs like fleas coming in, they are probably carrying them.

When Newt Scamander arrived in New York, he had to go through an inspection when he got off the ship. Fortunately, his suitcase was prepared in two modes, otherwise he would not be able to enter the country at all.

Then he went to the bank to exchange the currency used during his trip to the United States, where he met Jacob and Tina. Although Muggle federal agents did not appear in New York, the headquarters of Macusa was there, as

"Former Auror" Tina took advantage of the lunch break to monitor Second Salem.

She could have sat down and had a decent meal in the restaurant, but she only ate a hot dog, and of course she didn't spend a few hours eating "elegantly" according to full table manners. She only had so much time during her lunch break.

point.

Wizards didn't care about the Muggle prohibition on alcohol. In fact, American wizards made a lot of money during that time, especially from "giggle water". As long as it was a strong drink, people would drink it, even though drinking it would

It made people laugh involuntarily, but Muggles wouldn't be poisoned if they drank it.

This "water" contains potion ingredients, and the brandy brought back by Dumbledore contains "natural ingredients" that make people laugh...

All in all, although the security in New York is not very good, it is still much better than in Chicago. Therefore, when Scamander's animals left the suitcase and caused an "explosion" in Jacob's apartment, non-magical people quickly

It is believed that this was caused by a gas leak, just as other communities believe that the damage caused by the Obscurals was caused by a gas leak.

This perception among Muggles was not caused by Macusa's memory modification. They were investigating the real culprit who caused the destruction of New York.

As long as they can investigate Scamander's entry records, they will find that when he arrived in New York, the "Fantastic Beasts" incident had been raging for some time, and it was impossible for it to be caused by the animals he raised.

But Tina was eager to save her own career, or had other considerations. In short, she brought Scamander back to the headquarters, and she almost died because of it. In the end, she was saved by Newt, who was "almost framed by her" in the death chamber.

In 1920, Franklin Roosevelt ran for Democratic vice president. In 1922, he wrote to Bryan. That year, the Democratic Party defeated the Republican Party and won 13 seats in the state. The Democratic Party has not held a party convention in New York since 1868.

, so the Democrats in New York State tried their best to host the 1924 convention.

There were many Southerners in the Democratic Party at that time. Because his deputy was involved in the Teapot Hill scandal, McDuck agreed to change the venue of the convention to New York in order to reduce the heat. However, "some idiots with great prospects" secured the location of the convention.

They won the victory on the issue, but failed to squeeze into the center stage, and then they came up with the idea of ​​repealing the 18th Amendment. The two groups who supported the repeal and those who did not support the repeal were evenly matched and incompatible, so this time the New York Congress became the Democratic Party

The "most chaotic and longest" time in history.

Pomona was even more puzzled as to why Henry Shaw Jr. made alcohol prohibition an issue at a 1926 fund-raising dinner, and the host also said that he would become the president of the United States in the future.

Pomona didn't smell the smell of pesticide because of the head soaking spell, but just when she was about to exit, she heard a movement in the room.

She followed the voice and walked quietly over, slowly raising her wand.

The sound came from her closet. Just as she was about to open it, the closet door opened by itself. Pomona only saw an afterimage rushing towards her.

"Lock them all up!" Pomona shouted subconsciously.

The moment the thing rushing toward it stopped, her bedroom door opened, and Severus stood in the doorway.

"What's wrong?" he asked.

"I found this." Pomona picked up a cattail from the ground. She really couldn't figure out how they got into her bedroom.

"Is that what happened?" Severus asked.

"Close the door!" Pomona said. "This room is full of pesticides."

Then she left the room with the "culprit".

When she came outside the bedroom, Pomona lifted the head-soaking spell. The pungent smell made her feel uncomfortable, let alone the small animals.

It was choking and coughing and sneezing constantly, and looked miserable.

"Is there an antidote?" Pomona asked Severus.

"The inhaled dose is not large and will not cause poisoning," Severus said.

But Pomona still felt pitiful for the velvet, so she had to comb its fur with her hands.

That experience was full of panic for most New York residents, and they longed to forget it.

But for Jacob, who was going through a low point in his life, it brought happiness and hope. The rainwater mixed with the venom of the curled-wing bat summoned by the thunderbird had no effect on him.

What's more, this water will not only be inhaled, but will also enter New York's water supply system. According to the people's habit of drinking raw water at that time, these "venom" will also be drank by them.

"I once had a turtle because it lived a long life and was easy to keep." Bomer said gloomily, "But I don't like keeping pets. Does this mean I am an unloving person?"

"Who told you that?" Severus asked.

"You told me to be normal," Pomona said accusingly.

He looked like he was going to laugh.

"Be serious!" she said seriously.

"You want to keep this velvet?" Severus said "seriously".

"Here you go." Pomona handed the velvet to him.

But he didn't answer.

"I don't keep pets." He said coldly, "The pets I keep all end well."

"I'm not asking you to raise it, but I'm asking you to see if it recovers?" Pomona said.

He suddenly came over and pushed the hair away from her ears.

"What are you doing!" She hurriedly protected her ears.

"It depends on whether your ears are clean or not. Does Pu Rongrong really eat earwax?"

"That's what it says in the book." She said, covering her ears tightly.

"I want proof." He said confidently.

"You can try raising one yourself," Pomona said.

"I don't keep pets." Severus looked at the velvet on her lap. "This one looks very unfriendly."

In fact, Pomona felt that the velvet wanted to attack Severus, as if it knew who was responsible for making him so miserable.

"Let me take a look," he continued.

"No!" she continued to refuse. "What if you see my ears are full of earwax?"

"I want to see it." He said forcefully.

"No!"

He directly grabbed her wrist, and Pu Rongrong escaped during the struggle.

Finally seeing how committed he was, Pomona put her hands down.

"Look, look!" She closed her eyes. "Don't think I'm dirty."

There was no movement for a long time, and she secretly opened her eyes.

"Why should I think you are dirty?" he asked seriously.

She didn't know where to start.

"Look at me." He whispered, reaching out to touch her ear.

"You should wear earrings." He said looking at her earlobes.

Her face felt red and hot, and even her ears felt hot.

He may have felt the temperature change, and his eyes turned to her face.

"When was the last time you had your earwax removed?" she said dryly.

"What do you want to do?" he asked with a slight smile.

"I help you, and you have to help me," Pomona said.

He remained silent, and Pomona took him as his acquiescence, turned a quill into an ear pick, and sat on the sofa.

"Come here," she said to him.

Severus walked over consciously, sat down next to her, and then lay down directly, resting his head on her lap.

"Is this sofa too short?" she asked, looking at him curled up on the sofa.

"Go on." He said easily

Pomona pushed aside his greasy hair and looked at his ears. They were cleaner than she thought.

"Do you know how Hamlet's father died?" she said coldly. "One day he was sleeping in the garden and someone poured poison into his ears."

"You want to poison me?" he asked with a smile.

"I'm just reminding you not to fall asleep." She said angrily and used an earpick to pick out his ears.

"It sounded like thunder," Severus said.

"Only you can hear this rumbling sound." Pomona said softly, "I can't hear anything."

"Keep it like this." He said comfortably and changed to a more comfortable position to lie down.

Somehow, she remembered the earrings Bill wore, which were the fourth leaf of the clover.
