Chapter 2540 Smoke and Mirror (6)

It was going to be the night of the full moon, and it was time to prepare the potion for Remus. Pomona had already handed over the delivery of the herb to Neville, but he had to perform a new task, so she had to do it herself. Let's take a trip.

Just when she walked along the path to the side of Stonehenge, she found Felix, who was holding up his wand to modify the runes on the stone tablet.

This is not her specialty. Although she also took ancient rune classes when she was studying and got an o, there are many manuscripts that can be understood without knowing the characters on them.

"Knox!" Pomona heard a whisper.

She looked around blankly, there was no one around her at all.

"Look down," said the voice in a whisper.

Pomona looked down and saw a butterfly at her feet.

But when she looked carefully, she found that it was not a real butterfly, but a paper butterfly.

"pick it up."

She looked around, but there was still no one, but she picked up the butterfly anyway.

The moment her fingers touched the butterfly, the butterfly transformed into a sheet of paper, which then burst into flames.

The burning traces formed a string of words: Meet at the creek.

In less than ten seconds, that piece of paper was reduced to ashes.

She looked back at the nearby castle, and then at Hogsmeade in the distance. She could take the herbs to the Potions classroom first, so that Snape wouldn't wonder where she was going.

But she wasn't sure if Sirius would be found by the stream, the longer he was exposed outside, the more dangerous he would be.

"Damn it." She cursed, and decided to go to Hogsmeade first to see what was urgent about Sirius.

She put down the herb, and hurried across the path in the Forbidden Forest to Hogsmeade, and then to the stream on the outskirts of Hogsmeade, where she dealt with the three wizards who were about to attack her last time. Side, there's no one there.

After leaving the defensive magic range of the castle, there was a piercing cold outside, and even midsummer couldn't stop the chill, especially considering that the three wizards did not die at the hands of Sirius Black, but the dementors were the real culprits. , this feeling is more obvious.

She stood there dryly, not daring to call Sirius' name for fear of attracting the nearby Dementors or Aurors.

"Professor Sprout."

She turned to look at the man who called her name.

"What are you doing here?" asked Kingsley Shacklebolt.

She was thinking of an excuse.

"I sent her here," said Tonks. "Have you been waiting for me, Professor."

"No, not very long," Pomona said.

"Let's go." Tonks said, turning around and waving at Kingsley. "Just for a while, don't delay the execution of the mission."

Under Kingsley's suspicious gaze, Pomona and Tonks walk off together.

"What's going on here?" Pomona asked Tonks after walking a short distance.

Tonks waved her wand, and out of her wand a hare with a soft sheen flew, hopping on the green grass.

"Show me your Patronus," Tonks said.

Although Pomona didn't know what she was going to do, she did it anyway, and the swans, also exuding soft radiance, soared in the sky.

"I heard that even Death Eaters can't summon a Patronus, now I'm sure you're Professor Sprout." Tonks said, "Have you heard of the Order of the Phoenix?"

Pomona looked at Tonks with her hips akimbo. "Who told you about the Order of the Phoenix?"

"My mother, she is Sirius Black's cousin, and she is also considered the black sheep of the Black family." Tonks said calmly, "But she did not join the Order of the Phoenix."

It was only then that Pomona remembered that Tonks' mother was Andromeda, Sirius' favorite cousin, who was also removed from the Black family tapestry.

"Your mother wasn't in that war," Pomona said.

"But she's an ally of the Order of the Phoenix, including my father. They still don't believe that Sirius Black is a traitor to the Order of the Phoenix." Tonks frowned. "Do you think he is?"

Pomona was now tempted to ask how that Knox got his nickname Tonks, or if she had written the note.

"Next time I see him, I'll ask," Pomona said and left.

It's not that she broke the appointment, but that there was a problem with the place where she invited to meet, why did she choose such a place.

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

If you want to become a chess player instead of a chess piece, you must first do one thing. You can't let the chess pieces have their own will, they can only be at your mercy.

But this also means that after losing the chess player, the chess pieces don't know what to do next, and wanton movement will only make the game messy.

Albus is different from ordinary chess players, he allows the pieces to have their own will and do what they think is right, and the so-called "correctness" is based on the standard he taught.

He is very good at taking advantage of the kindness in human nature, such as the children wanting to save Buckbeak, and Sirius Black, making them even forget the danger of werewolves, Harry, Hermione and Ron have all witnessed Lyme s deformed.

The two generations of Dark Lords, Grindelwald and Voldemort, aroused anger and hatred in people's hearts. People who try to change a country or the whole world cannot succeed by cultivating negative emotions alone.

Grindelwald's speech in Paris was well done, but the inauguration ceremony of the International Confederation of Wizards was so bad that he actually chose the ridiculous reason for starting the war that Muggles intend to reduce the number of wizards by marrying witches.

Men get angry for many reasons, but not for women anymore.

Even if the Greeks started the Trojan War because of Helen, it was an excuse, as long as there is a desire to do it, no matter how ridiculous the reason is, it can be used.

Men like women, but it does not mean love.

In English, derailment and cheating are the same words, as long as you don't get caught by the teacher, you will be lucky if you get away with it.

She doesn't like cheating. It's one thing to forge her parents' signature to go to Hogsmeade, but it's another thing to reveal the answer to the contestants in the Triwizard Tournament, even though she knows that the second level is the Black Lake, and it's still in the Black Lake. The mermaid was in a panic and had nothing to do to participate in the human competition, and she didn't tell Cedric.

Every year, new students have to cross the Black Lake by boat, and it is the job of the mermaids to paddle those small boats all year round.

They are bored to death, what to do? Mermaids keep many "pets" to spend time with them, just like women keep cats.

Albus's method of education was to make them read, but Minerva preferred Quidditch and manicures, and Pomona preferred food and sleep.

No matter what you do, time will pass, and soon a day, a year, or a lifetime will pass by. Some people only realize that they have missed a lot when they are dying, but this is a road of no return. He has no chance to turn back.

Time-Turner gives the illusion that something can be changed with it.

However, Harry felt that saving Sirius and Buckbeak with a time-turner did not change, because Peter Pediru escaped, Sirius still could not prove his innocence, and needed to continue hiding in XZ as a fugitive.

A wedding in a subterranean tavern is certainly less pleasing to the bride than a wedding on a sunny meadow, but Lupine is a shameless man, and besides his status as a member of the Order of the Phoenix, he is also a known werewolf, though he does not Go to the Werewolf Registry to register, but after all the parents of the students know, soon the whole wizarding world will know too.

Pomona was very worried about Teddy, his and Tonks' child. Fortunately, he had Harry Potter as his godfather. So far, he has lived a happy life without growing up in discrimination.

This is what she found out after she left the hermit's house and went to Gedric's Valley to visit. It was also because Voldemort once possessed her that she knew that Helga Hufflepuff was a born disguised Animagus.

The Smith family claimed that they were the descendants of Helga Hufflepuff. They were indeed prominent, rich, and had Hufflepuff's gold cup, but Pomona would rather believe Voldemort's claim.

The copying spell cannot copy gold. Only the Philosopher's Stone can make gold. There are many substances that look like gold, such as Leprechaun's gold coins and "Fool's Gold". It seems that the house is full of treasures, but it is actually a house full of waste products, which have no value in recycling.

Call her stupid, she'd always believed that Harry wasn't the seventh Horcrux, even though Albus had plenty of evidence to support his conclusion.

As long as she could get an answer, she would not have come in vain this time, and...she didn't care if Severus came to find her or not.

Mrs. De Stael disagreed with many things. Pomona even felt that what she said "she doesn't want a marriage without love" was very inaccurate. After all, most women are not bankers' daughters. million francs.

She is not a substitute for anyone, nor is she a place for those who seek ease.

If it was really dark, then the race between the "Jet Devil" and the horse race should have ended long ago, and everyone should discuss the results of the race. Why would she write a letter by herself?

She looked out the window again, and sure enough, the sun was shining outside, and black smoke could be seen approaching in the distance.

What made her mistaken for darkness just now?

"Concentrate!" She patted her cheek to wake herself up.

At this time, there was an announcement from outside the door. It was Saint Tirell who came. She quickly stood up and walked to the door to greet her.
