Harry Potter’s Morning Light

   Chapter 2529 Manonamission (twenty-two)

Hermione Granger is the best student of Filius Feliwei, and he likes her even more than his own students, so many times Hermione can get first-hand information about the exam from Feliwei, even Exclusive revelations.

   Of course, no one will say it directly, but it is rumored that Miss Hermione Granger has the ability to predict, and she will often pass the exam questions she guesses.

   As a little witch who loves to learn, Hermione was really busy when she was in third grade, so much so that she had to use a time converter. However, by the end of the semester, she was not so busy. For the top students who knew what the conversion spell was in the first year, and also added points to the college, it was more than enough for the final exam. But Pomona still met Hermione in the library. She was reading books about the law, which were piled up in thick piles. It seemed that she had not given up on saving Buckbeak through this way.

Pomona didn't want to destroy Hermione's enthusiasm, because the execution of Buckbeak was not as simple as it seemed. After trying to manipulate Hogwarts through the identity of the school director, Lucius Malfoy began to move to the Ministry of Magic. And to expand his influence in the Ministry of Magic through money, getting rid of Buckbeak is a "signal".

Similarly, dissecting the basilisk in the secret room is not so simple. The reason why the basilisk is associated with a snake is that it moves like a snake, but the head structure of a basilisk is closer to a lizard. In the travel notes of ancient Greek travelers in BC, it was mentioned that the ancient Egyptians made "basilisks" in the shape of crowns and wore them on the head of the pharaoh.

   The cobra on the head of the Egyptian pharaoh is really a cobra. Although the snake is often used as a symbol of resurrection, the cobra on the head of the pharaoh has nothing to do with resurrection. The cobra goddess was enshrined in the Nile delta region, and in dynastic times represented Lower Egypt. At that time, many people in Egypt were bitten by cobras. People worshiped cobras as gods out of fear. At the same time, they also believed that the cobra gods who accepted the offerings would protect them.

"Normal" basilisks should have a red feather, like wearing a crown, but the feathers on the head of the basilisk in the Slytherin Chamber disappeared, and at first they thought it might be its owner, Salazar S. Lytling used it to make wands, or other magic items.

Since Filiwick and Snape had been unable to peel the basilisk's skin without destroying its skin, they took a different approach, dissecting the basilisk's mouth like Mr Potter, and soon discovered the anomaly. .

  We generally think that damage to the brain will be fatal, but this is not the case. There are many medical examples that can prove that even if the head has suffered fatal injuries to many people, it is still possible to survive.

  After the sword of Gryffindor was pierced from the jaw of the basilisk, according to the anatomical diagram left by the ancients, it did not actually pierce the central nerve of the basilisk, but should have destroyed the olfactory area.

  People can live without hearing, sight, smell and taste. The real fatal wound is that the brains in the basilisk's skull are gone. The Gryffindor Sword has the magical property of absorbing power stronger than himself, so Feiliwei judged that the one who killed the basilisk was not the Gryffindor Sword." physical" properties, but its magical properties.

  The basilisk has many terrible powers, its eyes and fangs, but the Gryffindor sword has no eyes, and Filivi suspects that the sword may have absorbed the deadly poison of the basilisk.

The skin of the basilisk has one of the abilities that the fire dragon does not have, that is, it is not afraid of the eight-eyed spider. When the spider hears its name, it is too scared to move, but when facing the fire dragon, they dare to dismember the dragon, which is also the role of the spider. the role of "decomposition" in the food chain.

   Spiders who eat dragon meat will not become not afraid of fire, or have other powers of dragons, because they are creatures.

  The Sword of Gryffindor is the masterpiece of the Fairy King. Just as no one mentioned how Hermione "predicted" the test questions, no one mentioned the bloodline of Filius half-goblin. Filius has always supported Minerva, has not publicly supported Albus Dumbledore, and has always kept aloof from the non-teaching affairs of the school.

   Goblins, werewolves, giants, centaurs are all very repulsive of humans, and they are happy to see infighting between wizards. If you want to win them over, you need to send envoys, but Pomona doesn't think that Filius will serve Albus like Hagrid because the death of the basilisk is related to goblin magic.

What happened in the back room was a secret. Pomona had always been in contact with Charlie from the Weasleys. He could get her good dragon dung at the Dragon Sanctuary in Romania. Not only was it cheap but also of good quality, he knew You need to know what the dragon eats and how well he is doing. This time, when it was time for "delivery", he didn't send it. Instead, he sent a letter. He would also come to Hogwarts for the Triwizard Tournament. It was said that he would **** some fire dragons to the school.

Hagrid is currently at the edge of the forbidden forest, looking for a suitable place to place those big fire-breathing lizards. The location of the Dragon Pavilion is not far from Aragoth's lair. Aragoth only listens to Hagrid's words, it and its people are not far from Wouldn't hurt him, others like Harry and Ron weren't so lucky.

  The last time they recklessly followed the spider, if it wasn't for the Weasleys' flying car, they would not have been able to escape the spider's lair. But Hagrid reminded them to follow the spider, but didn't warn them of the danger, and the two little guys almost became mince pies delivered to the door.

  In addition to the eight-eyed spider, there are other spiders, they are also afraid of the basilisk, and the skin of the basilisk is not only useful for expelling spiders, but also expelling other dark creatures, and can be sold for a good price in other countries. Basilisks have not been witnessed for hundreds of years. Except for some ancient basilisk leather armors that have been passed down from generation to generation, ordinary people have never even heard of them. They are rare commodities that cannot be bought with money.

  Not all sales methods are salesmen knocking on doors one by one with briefcases, or hawking on the street, advertising in newspapers, and placing them in shiny windows to attract the attention of passers-by.

  There is also a way of selling that is to introduce each other among friends at private parties, not to mention that it is a leather armor made by Salazar Slytherin's Basilisk, which is valuable even if you buy it and don't wear it.

   The basilisk is big and has a lot of blood. Even if Fei Liwei used a spell to keep the blood of the basilisk from sticking to his clothes, the smell of blood entered his body through his breath.

   Generally speaking, the longer a person lives, the stronger the magic power, but corresponding to the aging of the body, there is a strong magic power, but it is defeated because the reaction ability is not as good as that of the young people.

The   basilisk does not have this problem, but although it has great power, it does not have the same brain as a human, and finally becomes an animal with "economic value" like a dragon.

  "Wisdom" can make up for the shortcomings of weak bodies, which is why humans stand at the top of the food chain.

   She might really be a weirdo who sympathizes with basilisks.

   And she never understood why both Albus and Severus told her that basilisks were not life.

   What is life?

Pomona did not read the explanation in the book, but looked at a room of little wizards, who were not much different from the classmates she saw when she was a student. The pointer turned back to 11 years old again, and she did not really enter the social life, that is, the so-called adult world.

  Severus was out of school for a while too, and when he came back, he didn't like Hermione Granger.

There are other people too. Everyone nicknamed her "Miss Knowing Everything". Even if the end of the semester is approaching, it is more efficient to ask Hermione to make up the first class in this grade than to study by herself, but no one asks Hermione for advice, including Ron and Neville.

   That is actually quite popular. Pomona is not as active as Hermione in class when she is studying. She will always be remembered only after the exam results.

   She wants to have a sense of existence, so she will play with Lily, Severus, Sirius, James and their group of "dramaqueen", how can other people's school life be as "exciting" as they are.

"professor!"

  Pomona patted his heart and looked back at the Weasley twins who suddenly popped out. They were looking at her with smiles from behind the bookshelf.

   "What?" she asked angrily.

  I don't know if it was George or Fred, and gave her a gift box wrapped in colored paper.

   "What do you want?" She squinted at them.

   "Gift." I don't know if it was Fred or George who said "Open it."

   "You want to pay bribes to know the content of this year's exam?" Pomona said deliberately.

   "Of course not, take it apart," said Fred or George.

   She hesitated and opened the box, which contained a pocket-sized potted cactus.

   "It was sent by Bill from Egypt and is said to be rare," said George or Fred.

   "Indeed." Pomona took the pot out of the box. "Why me?"

   "We can't feed it," Fred said.

   "And Bill," George said.

   "And Mom, so we decided to give it to you," Fred said.

   She looked at the twins cautiously.

   "What do you want to do?" she asked.

   "We went to Greenhouse Three," Fred said.

   "There seems to be a devastation there," George said.

   "Like a tornado," Fred said.

   "Or whoever harvested those magic plants," George said.

   "Who do you think it would be, Professor?" Fred said.

   "I don't know what you're talking about?" Pomona asked stupidly.

   "We think those plants are the property of the school," George said.

   "Do you think we should tell the principal?" Fred said.

   "Are you blackmailing me?" Pomona narrowed his eyes, intending to return the potted plant.

   "Of course not, even if the plants were school property, you raised them so well," George said immediately.

   "You have the power to reap the fruits of those plants," Fred said.

   "What on earth are you trying to do?" Pomona asked.

  Fred and George looked at each other and said together "How about we do your errands?"

   “You can teach and care for plants in school,” says George.

   "We'll bring you the gold," Fred said.

   She was about to faint from the twins' words, but it's really convenient not to go to the pig's head bar in person.

   "I'll think about it," Pomona said.

  Fred and George applauded and clapped, causing Mrs. Pince to stare.

   "Goodbye, Dean!" Fred said in a low voice, then he and George bowed to Pomona like a curtain call, and left the library.

   She glanced at the small potted plant in her hand, probably because she had gone through a long journey and seemed to be in a slump.

   "Poor little thing." She pouted like a child, and hummed happily and took it to the greenhouse.

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

   Even if they are twins, not everyone is like George and Fred, and the Patil sisters belong to Ravenclaw and Gryffindor. They have a very similar appearance, like looking in a mirror.

   Ordinary mirrors reflect the appearance. Once you change the direction of the mirror, the mirror will disappear and become an empty mirror.

  Pomona didn't want Parvati to be like George, especially with Padma under her watch.

She won't make the same mistake again, so she started to pick up the quill to write a letter. Although she didn't know where Padma is now, and whether she has returned to England, but fortunately she wants to contact a wizard, and she doesn't need to know the other party's The specific location, the premise is that she must find an owl.
