Harry Potter’s Morning Light

   Chapter 2618 partake (ten)

  There is a phoenix dancing in the dark.

   However, when she saw it carefully, she realized that it was not a phoenix, but a flame, and it did not "fly" as if it was attached to it by an animal's soul.

   It doesn't respawn like a real phoenix because it never "lives", it's just a splintered part of a larger fire next to it.

   It is "born" as it is, and it is as it is when it perishes, not going through a period of fragility after Nirvana like a phoenix.

   And the phoenix is ​​not like a real bird, it hatches from an egg.

  It just appeared, the chick looks a bit like a crow, but raising a phoenix is ​​not just about giving it food.

   also feed it "fire", only then it will grow and grow bright red feathers.

   "Neville!"

  Pomona gasped, sat up from the bed, put on the shoes on the ground, and ran directly outside the office.

   The night was already dark, but she didn't flash with fluorescent light. She had lived in this place for so many years, and she was already familiar with it. The castle was locked at this time, and she didn't want to disturb Filch. Fortunately, she knew that there was a secret passage behind a portrait on the grand staircase, which led to the dock.

   After she came out of the exit, the boat that picked up the freshman went up and down with the waves, and then she crossed the big lawn and ran to the Quidditch pitch. The rain outside had stopped, and the ground was wet, and she would slip if she was not careful, but she still managed to get to the tent area, and it was still brightly lit inside.

  Everyone was there, and they were talking in a circle, and Pomona had a bad feeling for a while.

   "Get out of the way!" she said to everyone.

  The seniors gave way, which allowed Pomona to see Neville all at once. He was soaked all over as if he had fallen into the water, and he was shivering while wrapped in a blanket.

   "You came back in the rain?" Pomona asked.

   Neville nodded. "Flying...the flying carpet has no...blocking."

   he stammered, looking like he was frozen.

   "Aren't you going to wait for the rain to stop before coming back?" said Pomona, casting a Heat Wind Charm on Neville, and his clothes dried quickly.

   "The rain started halfway through." Neville looked at his dry shirt. "Thank you, Professor."

   "Come on, I'll give you a refreshing potion." Pomona said, holding Neville's shoulders and leading him away from the tent.

   Originally, she planned to take him back to the castle, but she couldn't explain the problem of the secret passage. Fortunately, there was still some "stock" in the greenhouse.

   When she returned to the greenhouse, she saw that Fox was still standing on the tree, and she felt a little uneasy, she didn't even think about building a nest for it.

   "Drink it." She took a small bottle of refreshment potion from the locker and handed it to Neville.

   After Neville drank the refreshing potion, steam spewed from his ears, and his face looked much better.

   "Next time this happens, stay a night at Scamander's." Pomona put away the empty pill bottle "or have Tina drive you."

   "She asked me to give you a message that she was sorry and had a bad attitude when she left." Neville said, "And Credence...I...I don't remember exactly."

   "Don't worry, take your time," Pomona said, walking to the conservatory next door and looking at Fox.

   "Do you want to continue in the tree, or shall I build you a nest like the principal's room?"

   Fox called out, and Pomona didn't know what he meant, and she couldn't talk to birds.

   But she still used Transfiguration to turn an acacia seedling into a wooden shelf like the principal's room. Now Fox has a nest and a branch to stand on.

   When she was done and went back to see Neville, he looked at her with some fear.

   "What's the matter?" Pomona asked.

   "I don't remember." Neville lowered his head. "Mrs. Scamander told me a lot."

   "But I think I see what Tina is saying," Pomona said. "I shouldn't have been so ticklish on Credence."

   "Who is Credence?" Neville asked.

   "He wasn't mentioned in a lot of what Tina said?" Pomona asked.

   Neville shook his head. "She mentioned Grindelwald, the dark wizard that Dumbledore defeated."

   "What did she say?"

   "She said he took advantage of the boy, hey, I remember!" Neville yelled.

  Pomona wasn't happy about Neville's "good memory."

   "What's the matter, Professor." Neville restrained his smile.

   "Let's go, I'll take you back, or are you planning to go back to the lounge?"

   "Isn't the Gryffindor lounge closed?" Neville asked.

   "I discussed with Minerva that if you can remember the password without a note, you can't fail to tell you the password later." Pomona said, "Or you can practice while you are on vacation."

   "Simon and Dean will help me...but I'll try my best," Neville said.

   "You go back." Pomona said, "It's too late, rest early."

   Neville nodded and trotted out of the greenhouse.

   After Neville left, Pomona turned back to clear the table. There were two glasses on them, and the ice in them had melted.

   She couldn't help thinking of the scene before the rain in her mind, and it seemed that she had returned to the dark storage room for a while.

   "Maybe Janice's perfume had something in it," she said, dazed, and that was the only plausible explanation.

   In two days she could ask Potions Master Janice what was in her perfume, and then she turned to look at the tinder bush behind her, which was burning like a clump of candles.

   "It's great that you didn't become the 'chosen'."

  Pomona said what he didn't say just now.

  Although Neville's inability to use a Patronus as powerful as Harry's at the lake, it's not a kind of "luck".

   Then she looked down at the mud on her feet. If she went back to the castle like this, even if she soiled the floor, Filch couldn't threaten to punish her like she did with a student.

Speaking of being used, Peeves was also used by Nick, who was almost headless. At that time, Ron and Harry didn't know what to do, they entered the castle with their legs full of mud, and were caught by Filch. , Nick asked Peeves to throw the vanishing cabinet on top of Filch's head in order to save the two of them.

  1992 happened to be the 500th anniversary of Nick's death. Peeves thought he would be able to attend the party by doing what Nick said, but he was still not invited, so he lost his temper in the kitchen.

   Nearly headless Nick is not materialized, not only does not have the bright colors of Peeves, but also cannot move any physical objects.

   At one point she thought the nearly headless Nick had gone too far, until he saved Justin Fonlieri's life.

   If it wasn't for Nick blocking the basilisk's line of sight, Justin would have died from looking directly at the basilisk, becoming the second Muggle breed to be "cleaned up".

  Some people are like this. They are obviously afraid, but as long as someone is more afraid than himself, he doesn't feel afraid. Draco Malfoy is such a person.

Neither he nor his father had imagined that the diary had so much power, and they talked about the monster, mainly because at the end of the first semester, Albus gave Gryffindor a lot of points all at once, making them turn defeat into victory, The reason for this is that the three of them violated school rules and went to the fourth floor, which was forbidden to enter.

  ‘This is not fair! ’

   That was what Draco was worried about, but his dad Lucius was worried about another.

  The soul of the mysterious man is back?

  Not in the form of a pearly white ghost, but possessed by Quirrell, who himself didn't want to be a second Quirrell.

   So he put the things that the mysterious man gave him into a box and took it to Boginbok. These things related to black magic can't be touched directly with hands.

   Where they went, there is no way to know, just like the broken vanishing cabinet, which was used by many witches and wizards in the first wizarding war, when the Death Eaters rushed into their homes, they could escape through it.

Later people stopped using the vanishing cabinet to "disappear" because one Death Eater discovered the secret, then all Death Eaters knew about it, and one Death Eater even went to school through it, "education" hasn't graduated yet How the Reserves tortured house-elves with the Unforgivable Curse.

  The greenhouse was still abandoned at the time. The previous dean and professor of herbal medicine preferred drama. After Pomona came, the greenhouse became less "overgrown".

   That cabinet was broken, and it was worth it. Filch wasn't happy that Peeves didn't get "the punishment he deserved."

  Pomona decided to find a house-elf to put it in the Room of Requirement tomorrow, even if it was a valuable piece of junk, what would a foreign guest think if they saw it.

   Anyway, there is no shortage of such precious junk in the room of responsiveness.
