Harry Potter’s Morning Light

   Chapter 2516 manonamission (nine)

  Have you ever had such an experience, there is a very important thing, but no matter how you look for it, you can't find it.

   Was it hidden, or was it accidentally lost?

  If you are at home, the first person you usually think of is "Mom", she seems to be omnipotent, and she remembers things wherever they are.

   However, if it was at Sirius Black's house, what he got by calling "Mom" may not be what ordinary people can imagine...

   "Ah~~~~~"

   The house-elves screeched and rushed out of the classroom.

  Pomona saw the scene outside the door and his scalp went numb. After the last house-elf came out, he slammed the door shut.

   Everyone looked at the thin door with lingering fears, and subconsciously took two steps back. You look at me, I look at you, and eventually all the house-elves look at Pomona, as if asking her what to do next.

  "Ew~" She rubbed her arms desperately, her goosebumps all over.

   "What are you doing?" Remus Lupin asked from the door of the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom.

   "Clean up, Professor," said the house-elf Mung Bean.

   "Then how did you get out, is there a troll in that room?" Remus asked with a smile.

   "In there, there are hairy crabs (chizpurfle)." Mung Bean replied.

   "The hairy crab? Can't you handle the hairy crab?" Remus asked.

   "Do you know where this place used to be?" Pomona asked. "This used to be where lost wands were kept."

"so what?"

   "Those little devils wormed their wands and got into the wand core. I think it's better to call someone from the Ministry of Magic's Pest Division to deal with it," Pomona said.

   "This is Hogwarts, Professor." Remus said dissatisfiedly, then walked over from the Defence Against the Dark Arts classroom and pushed open the door they had just closed.

It was a room no smaller than a Defence Against the Dark Arts classroom. It was full of "hills" made of wands, large and small. The "hills" were covered with hairy crabs of various colors. Swallow-tailed dogs and auguries, which were only one-twentieth of an inch, have grown at least four times in size, and some hairy crabs are even the size of mini-cauldrons.

   Remus immediately closed the door again.

   "Don't worry," Pomona said calmly. "This isn't the weirdest room we've found."

Pomona doesn't know how long it has been since the school has been cleaned. There are some really strange things. After seeing the situation inside, she will close the door and try to get rid of it during the summer vacation or in her lifetime. After all, the classroom is empty. There are even three-headed dogs in hell.

   As for this hairy crab's room, it's too close to the Defence Against the Dark Arts classroom where the children often come. Of course, now she has a Defence Against the Dark Arts professor by her side, maybe...

   "You can go to Professor Snape." Remus smiled at Pomona. "I heard there is a special potion that can kill them easily."

"If you were talking about talcum powder for pets, it's fine with normal hairy crabs, but as you can see, some hairy crabs have eaten the wand core," Pomona said. Come on, what did you say?"

   "I think Dumbledore also thinks that he doesn't want people from the Ministry of Magic to get too involved in Hogwarts issues." Limeston paused. "Yesterday I heard that you and Sedina had a fight."

   "Not a quarrel, just a little disagreement." Pomona pursed his lips.

   In fact, because the menu she gave uses a lot of expensive ingredients, Sedina rejected it on the grounds that she didn’t have that much budget.

   Not only the school banquet, but also the usual recipes. Pomona believes that it is not too shabby in front of foreign guests, especially those from Breitbarton College in France, and foreigners can see jokes, mainly because of Malfoy.

After Lucius Malfoy was expelled from the school board by Albus Dumbledore, Hogwarts was short of money again, and Lucius Malfoy donated the donation to Hogwarts. The Ministry of Magic, giving Fudge the money to prepare for the grand Quidditch World Cup. The Ministry of Magic had been preparing for this event a year ago, since Lucius was expelled from the school board and Sirius Black escaped from Azkaban.

   As for how they re-started the Triwizard Tournament, she didn't know, anyway, as long as she thought of Lucius' nose upturned, she wanted to use...

   "I heard that hairy crab potion is expensive. You'd better go to Severus," Remus said. "I think he'll help you."

   "This classroom is right next to yours!" Pomona said.

   "Of course, I'll help too," Remus said weakly.

   She looked at this man who suddenly pretended to be weak.

   What would happen if the Gryffindor lounge had no house-elves to clean up?

   It's June, and even without the dementors to cool off, Pomona's hairs stand on end. The scene just now, if not the most terrifying, was something she would never forget in her life.

   After visiting the third floor, she looked at the table below, it was almost time for lunch, so she asked the elves to help in the kitchen, then returned to her office and took out the hidden picnic basket.

The food inside    is for Sirius, enough for him to eat for three days so he doesn't have to venture out to find food.

   As soon as she left the office with the basket, he saw the old bat striding towards her, and he looked her up and down suspiciously.

   "What are you doing?"

   "Picnic." She said quietly, "What are you doing here?"

  Snape glanced at her picnic basket.

   "You eat that much by yourself?"

   "And to feed the Fantastic Beasts." Pomona said, "What are you doing here?"

   Snape stared at her.

   She was a little guilty, but she still pretended to be calm.

   "I want to borrow your invisibility cloak," he said after a moment.

   "Okay, can you cook me some magic medicine to eliminate hairy crabs." She paused, "Not a little, can you prepare a ton."

   "What do you want to do? You want to sell potions to make money?" Snape asked with a sneer.

   "No, there was a classroom full of hairy crabs, and the house-elves were scared out." She rubbed her arms again. "Merlin's pants legs, that's horrible."

   "Which room?" Snape said confidently, as if he wanted to see it for himself.

   "It's the classroom next to Defense Against the Dark Arts. It used to be the lost wand office." After she finished speaking, she murmured, "No wonder Ron didn't go there last year to find a wand to replace the one he broke."

   "What did Professor Lupin say?" Snape asked in a deliberately prolonged tone.

   "He suggested that I come to you for help."

"Why are you looking for me now that you've already looked for him? Hairy crabs are no more dangerous than Cornish elves, and if someone can't even deal with them, I suggest that he pack as soon as possible, lest he be like his predecessor, Become a regular visitor to a mental hospital."

  Pomona jumped in, "You know that potions are much better for hairy crabs than spells, not to mention Remus is so weak."

   Snape smiled, looking helpless, and turned to leave.

   "Do you still want to borrow my invisibility cloak?" Pomona asked. "And you don't even think about it. What if those hairy crabs came out of it while you were taking classes?"

   He had a cold face, an "I'm not happy" look.

   "Get the potions ready before the holidays! If it wasn't for your good friend Lucius Malfoy, I could have gone outside and bought them." she exclaimed "remember a ton!"

   Then she took the picnic basket and left under his watch.

===================================================== ===========

   After Napoleon left Egypt and returned to France, not only the army was thrown into chaos, but the Egyptian Institute also caused panic.

  When he left, he took the two leaders, Monge and Beto Lai. Fortunately, Kleber took over. He basically inherited the style of Bonaparte as he was, and the work could continue.

For Napoleon's division of scholars according to the ranks of officers, many people protested at first. Even when Napoleon held the opening of the Egyptian Institute and the inaugural meeting of the president of the Academy of Sciences for the first time in Cairo, half of the scholars did not go, which made him very annoyed. . But although he postponed his inauguration, he has absolutely no plans to change it.

At the first meeting, Napoleon raised six questions. First, whether it is possible to improve the oven for the army to bake bread, or to save firewood, then he asked scholars to do experiments on heating firewood, reeds and safflower stems, and put them together. The comparison results are written into a report; second, is there any plant that can replace hops in Egypt? Beer was first invented by ancient Egyptians, and there is evidence in ancient Egyptian documents and pyramid murals. Beer can solve the problem of drinking water, although at that time Alcohol is not allowed in Egypt; third, it is about drinking water, whether it can make the turbid Nile water clear and drinkable; fourth, gunpowder is made in Egypt; fifth, it is about laws, civil judgment and education; Regarding the improvement of public opinion, that is, let French surpass Arabic as an easier language to communicate with residents.

   What Napoleon came up with was weights and measures, having the Egyptian Institute compare Egyptian weights and measures with French weights and measures and appoint a committee to promote it.

  It is not easy to do this. Although the Ottoman Empire controlled the markets and bazaars, the tribes in the remote deserts used all kinds of weights and measures, and some even used holy cubits. In biblical times, people used the distance from the elbow to the fingertip as a unit of length, and it can still be found in some older versions of the Bible.

  But the height of people is different, so the length of the elbow is also different. The holy cubit is said to be the length of the arm of Osiris, but it may also be the length of the arm of a pharaoh, or even the length of the elbow of a tribe elder.

   and other members of the committee did this and handed in a report, and Bonaparte asked them to measure the length of the meridian from Cairo to France.

  Whether it is burning firewood under the scorching sun or trekking in the desert on a camel, it is not an easy task. Some people can’t complete the exit, and some people do. The corresponding promotion and treatment improvement are all the same. After the Cairo Institute, there were local institutes, especially after the Rosetta Stone was unearthed.

Kleibel did not give the Institute new research topics, but just let them continue their previous work. People at the Institute discussed travel experiences, the difference between ancient Egypt and modern Egypt, ancient ruins in the garden of Hasanbe Palace every night. and so on to find out.

  Some of the ancient ruins were not visited by local Egyptians. Not only were they desolate, but some places were barren. They had to go to the places where camels walked for two or three days to fetch water.

  If no one digs them, these artifacts and the secrets they carry will forever sleep in the ground, not to mention that the purpose of archaeology and tomb robbery are different. When Eucharist Rael found the mummy, many of the mummies were severely damaged, caused by tomb robbers to take away the gold and silver jewelry from the corpse. In the eyes of tomb robbers, gold and silver are valuable, and those stones with inscriptions are worthless.

   and other work became regular, Kleibel was assassinated, and his successor, Menu, reduced the research fee. There was even a rumor that Menu planned to sell the cultural relics of the library and the research institute to supplement military expenses. Fortunately, he did not do that, but Menou also reorganized the cabinet and took stock of the existing books and instruments.

   Soon after, news came that the French were going back to Europe on a British warship in Alexandria, and Saint-Tierel was in charge of the transshipment at that time.

The Rosetta Stone was written by Menu in the book of surrender. It was not taken away by the British because its weight exceeded the weight of the luggage carried by the individual. If it was only the weight, Eucharist Rael would have transported a few mummies less. offset.

  The first Egyptian consul ignored the protests of the members of the scientific committee and the institute and enforced it, and then the Rosetta Stone was sent to the British museum for display.

  It was distasteful to mention this during dinner, and when Georgiana had finished her meal, Saint-Tirell told her this "story".

"I was there on the day of the riot in Cairo. I can tell you that I'm not the kind of scholar in the study." St. Tyrell said calmly, but his tone was completely different from the person who introduced the food just now. "I know you Be in charge of the income and expenses of the Sèvres ceramics factory, as well as the young people you fund, Beaulieu and Malus have noticed. But if you lose power, do you think you can become a researcher? As a member of the French Natural History Museum Curator, I don't need a 'talent' like you, maybe you can try it in the Botanical Museum, Cuvier is relatively peaceful, and it doesn't matter for the students to joke with him."

   "You think I..."

   "Lack of professionalism, I won't coax a hysterical woman." Saint Tyrrell said indifferently.

   "I'm not out of control." She also replied coldly.

   "Then who said he was a 'fool' just now and asked me to 'please another wise man'?"

   She didn't answer.

   "I had prepared a more interesting topic, but I didn't expect it to end up like this." San Tyrell said slightly angrily.

   "You want to tell me about your travels?" she asked.

   Eucharist Rael shook his head.

   "You won't understand." He tossed the napkin on the plate, ending the sumptuous but unpleasant lunch.
