Harry Potter’s Morning Light

  Chapter 2716 Firebird Land (24)

Astonia Greengrass has a sister named Daphne Greengrass. Although she is also very beautiful, she is different from her sister who is quiet and loves to sing. She is a member of the dueling club inside Slytherin, and she is not subject to Laghorn's invitation.

  "Dean~" Pomona looked up and found that it was the freshman Ross Zeller who had come to her office.

   "Here you are." She said sweetly, and handed a box to Pomona.

   "What's this?" Pomona asked.

   "Your Christmas present," said Ross Zeller.

   "You gave it to me?" Pomona asked.

   "No, we all gave it to you together." Ross said.

  Pomona remembered her pearl hairpin, which was also given to her by the students with seven-year-old pearls.

   Not all of them are perfectly round, but when made into hairpins they look like perfectly round pearls.

   So Pomona took that gift box...

   "Stop!"

   Just when her hand was about to touch the gift box, Snape appeared.

  His expression was serious, and he looked at Ross Zeller with fierce eyes, which almost made her cry.

   "What's wrong?" Pomona said impatiently.

   "You forgot the necklace you gave Dumbledore." Snape said very fast, then looked at Ross Zeller. "Put things down."

  The ignorant freshman put down the gift box and ran out of the office in Pomona.

  Pomona saw him take his wand out of his sleeve, and then aimed a "blazing fire" at the gift box.

  She really has nothing to say.

  After the gift box was burned to ashes, a golden snitch bracelet appeared on the table.

  It is composed of three parts. The wings of the Snitch are disassembled, which looks like the wings of a bird unfolded. The round body of the Snitch is a small box that can be opened, which can put...uh...

  Snape let the bracelet float, and then examined it carefully.

   "This can be used as an amulet, do you have dragon blood?"

"what?"

   "I said, this bracelet can be used as an amulet. Do you have dragon blood?" He actually repeated it patiently.

  It was only then that she realized what the snitch box on the bracelet could hold.

   "Dragon's blood is so expensive now." She complained.

   "I have some over there." He said in a tone that was clearly smug but pretending it wasn't a big deal.

   "Can you buy it?" Pomona cooperated and said in an adoring tone.

  The old bat laughed, and Pomona couldn't help but secretly rolled his eyes.

   "And it's the blood of a dragon, better than the ones on the market."

  Dragon's blood can only be taken once, it is sprayed when the dragon's heart is pierced, although the method is cruel, but just like Snape said, it is indeed more powerful than ordinary dragon's blood.

   "Why aren't you talking?" Severus asked.

   "I was thinking of Newt Scamander," said Pomona, his face changing quickly.

   "He once helped Dumbledore retrieve the 'blood oath' with Grindelwald, which also looks like jewelry." She said as a remedy.

   Snape didn't speak.

   "How is Albus doing now?" Pomona asked.

  He picked up the document she was looking at just now on the desk.

"what is this?"

   "Slughorn's menu, he needs them for the Slug Club Christmas party." Pomona sighed. "He pays for himself."

   "Since he's going to pay, why are you sighing?" Severus asked.

   "I've never cooked a dragon 'egg,'" says Pomona.

  Severus was shocked.

   "This food is very popular with middle-aged and older people," Pomona said, but she doubts that it will be eaten by teenagers?

   "How about letting him hire the cook himself?" Severus said.

   "This is against the rules, what if something goes wrong, he invited almost all the senior students."

   "Not everyone," Severus said stiffly.

"I know, Daphne Greengrass was not invited, but she still became Zabini's dance partner." She frowned, very distressed "Why did the old slug invite Astonia but not Daphne?"

  He didn't speak.

  If Severus hadn't been so eager to "get ahead", he might have become a member of the Slug Club, but at that time he had been invited by Lucius Malfoy to join the Death Eater's club.

  Dean Thomas was mediocre in sixth grade and Ginny was the top girl in the next grade, if they were in the same grade, they wouldn't be a "food chain" level at all.

After not taking herbal medicine class, Dean had more time to practice potions and defense against the dark arts, but Harry invited him to join the Quidditch team to replace the Chaser position that Katie vacated. This made many Gryffindors dissatisfied with Harry too.

  Goalkeepers are still "excusable". Most people still think that the Seeker is the coolest position, and they don't realize that the style of play of other academy teams has changed.

   Except for Ron and McLagan, no one is going to grab the goalkeeper position. Many people can be chasers. Why Dean Thomas?

   "What's this?" Severus asked.

   "Jam pie." Pomona looked at the pie that had only eaten one piece on the table, "Take it if you want."

   After speaking, she stood up and picked up the traveling cloak on the shelf.

"where did you go?"

   "Greenhouse," Pomona said as he flipped the cloak inside out and replaced it with the invisible side.

   "It's snowing outside," Severus said lazily.

   "I know! Even the Potions Club hasn't been going much lately, so today is the best time to act."

   "What action?"

   "Catch the thief!" She said aggressively, "I want to catch the guy who stole my potted plant."

   "You started dropping things, after Slughorn came back?" Severus asked.

  Pomona didn't answer.

   “Then suddenly he has money and throws extravagant parties,” he continued.

   "He's a potions master," said Pomona.

   "But he didn't have time to take anything with him when he ran," Severus said. "I heard he even ran to a Muggle house and hid."

   "I don't want to go on!" Pomona said angrily.

   "Why?" Severus asked, and then, without waiting for her answer, said complacently, "Patricia Linnaeus again?"

  She was so anxious that she didn't know what to say.

   "Everyone thinks she is, only you think she isn't." Severus said wearily.

   "What is it?" Pomona asked.

   "Don't be so stubborn," he said in a low voice that sounded like a warning.

  Snape also liked to warn people when he was a child, but at that time he hadn't changed his voice, and Gorgon and Lily could completely ignore him.

   "How are you going to explain to others that you are here?" Pomona asked, trying to keep calm. "You are no longer a potions master."

   "What do you want?" He said indifferently.

  She smelled the sour-sweet smell of jam tarts in the house, and she knew it was delicious just by smelling it.

However, when she saw the former potions professor covered in darkness, Pomona actually wanted to use poison if she was not afraid that the rats would eat the poisonous pie and die, and the smell of the rotting corpse would make the guests from afar uncomfortable. Not a mousetrap to catch mice.

   "Can you tell me why Malfoy is catching birds?" Pomona asked.

  He was silent.

   “One of my students saw it in the hallway on the seventh floor. Don’t worry, he told me without telling anyone,” Pomona said.

  Although he was a first-year freshman, James Tucker had also heard of Malfoy's "big name". He was afraid that he would be the same as Roger Malone, and the result was even worse.

   "Still don't want to talk?" Pomona asked.

   "I don't know." He said stiffly, as if resisting some kind of torture.

  He looked very depressed, as if he was bent all of a sudden, and he completely lost the complacent look just now.

   So Pomona took off the cloak again and threw it on the ground.

Albus once said that even if people all over the world despise him, misunderstand him, and ridicule him, as long as there is one person who understands and approves him, he will not give up in despair. Feeling in love with her, even if her appearance is not the most beautiful.

  She hoped that he wouldn't care, it wasn't a beautiful half-breed Veela who was kissing him at this moment.

   “How about saying ‘Great job’ instead of just giving someone an ice cream.”

   She seemed to hear Albus whispering in her ear.

   But she really didn't know what he was doing, how to say "well done"?

   "I want you to do something for me." After finishing the kiss, she said against his forehead.

  He looked at her pleadingly.

   "Find out why Slughorn invited Astonia Greengrass."

   Maybe it was because her voice was so cold, it woke him up a little.

   "This is a prepaid reward." She pinched his big nose and returned to her seat.

   "He betrayed him twice," Pomona said as he picked up the jam pie.

   "He and who is he?" Severus asked.

   "Albus and Grindelwald." Pomona licked the jam on his finger. "They made an oath never to hurt each other, so the blood oath vial shattered, for the first time."

   "Don't you want to ask when is the second time?" she asked after a while.

   "Do you know the relationship between Albus and Grindelwald?" Severus asked.

   “They used to be like-minded confidants,” Pomona said.

  He suddenly smiled strangely.

   "What?" She asked strangely.

  He walked away with her unfinished pie.

"Hey!"

   "You want me to find the reason, that's it." He said without looking back.

  She curled her lips in displeasure, and picked up the Snitch bracelet on the table.

   "What will you get me for Christmas?" she whispered, and put the bracelet in the drawer.

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

  Georgiana had just finished talking with Baines when Luderer walked towards them.

   "I guess I should go get dinner ready," Farbolt told her, and then he looked at Luderer, nodded, as if some kind of handover, and turned to leave.

  Since entering Belgium, they haven't talked face to face for a while, and she didn't know what to say for a while.

   "The senior officials showed you something?" Luderer asked.

  Georgianna looked at the military academy students serving as guards of honor. They were curious and longing for everything in front of them.

"Compared with serious discourse, palace drama is just a kind of entertainment, but it is indispensable in the court." Ludrell said, "The king thought that soldiers would make the atmosphere very tense, so he established a military academy, hoping to be able to learn more about it." Cultivate commanders who are like gentlemen."

  She didn't expect that so soon, so many people knew that she had read Sir Bacon's book, and she didn't expect that so many French people had read it.

"Those who have wives and children have already paid the pledge to the **** of fate." Georgiana said with a smile, "Whether it is a great good deed or a great evil deed, a wife and children are a hindrance to major events. You know Desai of the 22nd Cavalry Regiment Major Weir? Is he a big man?"

  Luderer looked shocked.

"I saw with Mr. Fabolt just now that Leon Cour's granddaughter is dating him." She said in a low voice, as if telling a secret to Luderer, but she didn't say 'don't tell others '.
