Harry Potter Morning Light

Chapter 3073 Libation Bearer ([-])
There is a scenic spot in Rome. It is said that if you put your hand into the mouth of the stone statue, the hand of the liar will be eaten by it.

But in fact it is a sewer manhole cover in ancient Rome. The face on the manhole cover is Triton, the son of Poseidon. Like his father, he uses a trident as a weapon, but he also has a conch shell. Trumpets raise or calm waves and streams.

There are many similarities between ancient Roman mythology and Greek mythology, but the Romans did not completely copy them. For example, Janus, the door god of January, is a unique door god in ancient Rome. Many ancient Roman houses have statues of him at the door.

He usually has two faces, holding a key in one hand and a stick in the other. This is the difference between the customs of ancient Rome and ancient Greece. Considered for mutual benefit.

Cicero tried to transplant some Greek ideas into Latin, such as the concept of "temperance."

A Greek philosopher once suggested that there is nothing wrong with drinking, but it must be in moderation so that the weak and the elderly can go home safely, and those who drink properly and do not forget their virtues should be praised.

The ancient Greek Dionysus ceremony was a group of people holding hands, shoulder to shoulder like chains, circling around the conductor who played the role of Dionysus. There were also some people playing musical instruments and chorus, and everyone performed their duties.

In addition to being the god of archery, Apollo is also the god of poetry. His musical instrument is a lyre, so among those who play musical instruments, playing the lyre has the highest status.

The Temple of Delphi belonged to Apollo. The female priests just walked in circles around the temple without making any large movements or jumps. Their movements were simple and casual.

Lumos is Latin for the sun, but Pomona's previous spell had nothing to do with "glow."

This can be understood as an illusion, the purpose is to project the appearance of the moon on the wall or paper. Its accuracy is related to the observation and memory of the spell caster.The more carefully you observe the moon, the more the projected moon looks like the real moon. It is essentially the same as a lunar instrument. The difference is that you can't always carry the lunar instrument with you, and you can occasionally use it instead.

That's what Sinista taught Pomona, though Pomona didn't know where she got it from.

"Moonstone" is of course related to the moon, and even though she didn't hold out hope, she just tried, and she was frustrated by the blind failure.

Like Lily said, Severus was confident in his destiny, even when he was treated as a freak in Muggle school.Pomona lacked his confidence. She was not sure whether her guess was right, but he actually told Dumbledore to evacuate the students.

Right now, Rita Kistor is wishing for a big movement in the school...

"Are you listening?" Sen Bakar asked impatiently.

"I'm listening," said Pomona uneasily, looking at the map of Hogwarts in front of him with Bacal.

This time it was not a panoramic view of the valley, but a part of the castle. It was similar to what I saw last time. The infected area "looked" small, and it seemed that there was no need to be vigilant.

However, after careful observation, Pomona found that these infected locations were load-bearing pillars and walls. Even if she did not understand architecture, she could guess what would happen if these important and fragile places were damaged.

Just like a Muggle blasting a house, the entire building will not be blown into pieces. As long as a few important supporting points are destroyed, the self-weight of the house and the gravity of the earth will complete everything that follows.

Senbakar did not notice that although he had been looking at the "sand table", there was no classical mechanics in his time.

"I asked other people who had heard of the department you're talking about, and it's called the Moonstone Garden," Sen Bakkar said. "But no one knew where its entrance was."

"Thank you." Pomona said. She had not expected that these secret societies that studied ancient magic would have a direct relationship with another secret society.

"You're welcome, I hope this helps you," Sen Bakar said.

Pomona didn't say any more, and touched the bronze frog on the platform. After it opened its mouth and "swallowed" her, the next time she appeared, she would already be in the alchemy classroom.

The frog that was moved to Bakar's Tower was in the corridor of the Defense Against the Dark Arts class on the third floor, and it had been used as decoration for many years.It was a miracle no one had gone missing because of it so far, so Severus moved it to Bacal's Tower.

Then Pomona went out from the hidden entrance of the alchemy classroom, bypassed the sleeping dragon statue, and came to the dark corridor. During the day, everyone was in the classroom, making the corridor leading to the Slytherin lounge even more gloomy.

Tom Riddle might have walked past here, and now she felt shuddered when she thought of that handsome face, so she turned away and left, not feeling any warmth until the sun shone.

It's time to continue looking for clues.

She encouraged herself, but felt that she had no strength at all. When she raised her hands, they were trembling.

Although it was midsummer, Pomona rubbed her hands as if in the cold winter. Then she felt warm and a cloak was draped around her body.

"Is it cold?" Severus said.

Pomona shook her head under her cloak, then leaned against him with her eyes closed.

She enjoyed the tranquility, hoping that time would stop there, but it was clearly a delusion.

"Let's go to Miss Wharton." He said in a cold tone, took her hand, and quickly came to the platform of the History of Magic classroom just now.

But someone got there first. Barnaby, Ben Cooper, Tonks, Thiago, and Liz were looking at the blank wall and discussing.

Pomona hastily pulled Severus back.

"What?" he said strangely.

"How many points are you going to give them alone?" Pomona asked.

He laughed. "Are you still worried about this?"

"What are you going to do?" Pomona asked evasively.

He kept staring in that direction.

"It's a pity no one here knows Parseltongue," Severus said.

"I don't think Miss Wharton will," Pomona said.

"That dark magic item might," he said whimsically.

"How can a quill talk? It's not a trumpet."

After Pomona finished speaking, they were stunned at the same time.

"Draw it!" they said together.

This is quite unbelievable, but isn't the way the entrance to the Slytherin lounge appeared out of thin air after a silver snake arched?
She looked at the floor of that wall, and sure enough, that piece of carpet was gone.

"Well, we know how they got in," Pomona said. "We have quills that do the same thing?"

Severus shook his head, "The entrance was designed by the founder of the school, we only have the authority to change the password."

Pomona remembered what Sirius said again, that Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets had been discovered.

Maybe that "quill" once belonged to Slytherin.

"We can try to blow it up." Severus said suddenly, "as long as it doesn't have strong defensive magic."

"If we can sneak in, we can catch them unawares." Pomona bit her lip.

"How do you sneak in?" he asked sarcastically.

"I'm thinking about it!" she complained. "Don't you think about it together?"

He stood calmly leaning against a side pillar, as if he had already made up his mind to "siege the city".

"What if it rebounds?" Pomona said, "The more powerful it is..."

"I know." He interrupted her rudely. "This is the last resort. If you have any good ideas, think about it."

Pomona then began to think hard about how to sneak into the "garden".
