Chapter 2566 Cheese Trap (2)

According to Muggle's definition of combustion reaction, the exothermic reaction between combustibles and oxidation occurs during combustion, usually accompanied by phenomena such as heat release, flame, luminescence or smoke. Combustion must have combustibles, a certain amount of oxygen, and the energy to ignite. For example, if you want the fire to burn well, add wood to the fireplace.

But Floo powder - its main ingredient is the extract of the flowers of a magical plant called Floo, not just its pollen - when it comes into contact with the flames in the fireplace, it will not only change the color of the flames. Turning green also makes the fire less hot and harmless.

When some magic is cast, there will be reactions such as flames and light, but not all of them are caused by combustion, similar to the red light of "de-you weapon".

But the magic that the children will be using today is the actual Burning Charm, which is the incendio duo that Pomona only taught in herbal medicine class in the seventh grade. It's very effective on burning eight-eyed spider webs and carnivorous slugs, although there are potions for sale in Diagon Alley, but she has to find something for the children to do, and they have so much energy, why not let them go How about cleaning the cobwebs in the Forbidden Forest?

After the basilisk died, the natural enemies of the spiders disappeared, and their reproduction speed increased significantly. The night before, when the wind dragon flew over the Forbidden Forest, she noticed that the canopy in the center of the forest was full of foggy spider webs.

The kids were excited that "playing with fire" was more fun than building blocks from unintelligible blueprints, though Pomona was a little concerned that they might set the forest on fire.

Albus had an almost conniving care for Hagrid. The "Prohibition of Breeding for Experimental Purposes" decree issued in 1965 made it illegal to create new magical animals, but Hagrid let the fire crab and the human face The manticore successfully reproduced, creating the snail.

Not to mention how he did it, this practice is already illegal. There are other illegal behaviors in Hogwarts. For example, Snape will make his own Floo powder and give it to Hogwarts professors with limited points to ensure that the internal Floo network can be used.

The Ministry of Magic has the Floo Network Management Department of the Department of Transportation. The Floo Network outside is not connected to Hogwarts. If this is not the case, Pomona is still trying to see if it is possible to send Neville to Scamander’s house through the Floo Network. .

That's right, she brought Niffle back, but she forgot the bird, snake and turtle, look at her memory!

But she was really tired yesterday. After all, she had arranged defensive magic in such a large area and received so many messages.

Floo powder must be used to use the Floo network. The only legal Floo powder operator is Floo Peng Company, and their formula is kept secret.

St. Mungo's takes in many wizards every year who are injured by the use of fake floo and homemade floo powder, although the price of each spoonful of floo powder is only 2 silver Sickles.

Wizards use it not for money, but for access to illegal, unregistered fireplaces with Floo management, often involving shady things such as trysts with lovers, or theft. A year before Harry started school, Moody had caught Mundungus smuggling private Floo powder.

Pomona always thought it was suspicious to see Mundungus in the Pig's Head Bar that day, and she wanted to tell Tonks to investigate if she had a chance, and now Tonks was learning how to be an Auror from Moody.

What a weird combination, the girl with the pink hair and the scary-looking Mad-Eye, who came up with the idea?

Pomona was yawning all the way from the tent area to the ranger's hut, and the other senior interns were discussing excitedly, while Neville still limped along beside her.

Perhaps, he could stay at Scamander's without going back to school.

The thought lingered in her mind until she saw Hagrid, waiting for her at the door of the cottage.

"Good morning, Dean." Hagrid greeted Pomona energetically.

It's also staying up late, and he may stay up later than her, so why is he so radiant?

"Good morning, Hagrid, where are the Nifflers?" asked Pomona.

"Come here." Hagrid waved at her, and when she entered the room, she found that the Nifflers had been released from their cages, and they were rolling happily with a leaf in their arms.

"What's going on here?" Pomona asked.

"Smell weed," said Hagrid.

"How is that possible, it's extinct," Pomona said.

"I still have some stock." Hagrid said mysteriously. "Thanks to it, these little guys didn't disturb me. I slept well last night."

Pomona glared at him sullenly.

"Is there anything else you want, Headmaster?" Hagrid asked.

"I want to clean up the spider webs outside the Forbidden Forest. The interns outside ask you to take them to the Forbidden Forest. Remember to protect their safety and don't set the forest on fire."

"Okay." Hagrid readily agreed. "Recently, the spiders are indeed a bit outrageous. The centaur's activity area has been affected by them. What's the matter?"

Pomona remembered the Thestrals, which Neville could ride to Scamander's house, if he knew how to ride them.

But to see thestrals one needs to understand death, and she felt it was overkill for such a small thing.

"Do you have Pegasus here? I mean, except for thestrals." Pomona said with a frown.

"Why do you ask that?" Hagrid asked.

"I'm going to send Neville to Scamander's to fetch the bird and snake."

"The Skybike still works, I can take him," said Hagrid.

"Don't you have other tasks? How is the progress of the Dragon Hall?" Pomona asked.

"Very good, very good," said Hagrid listlessly, with an expression that didn't look like "good" at all.

Pomona shook his head, "Do you know what my purpose is to clear the Forbidden Forest?"

"Welcome to the Triwizard Tournament." Hagrid replied immediately.

"I heard...the headmaster of Beauxbatons, Madame Maxime, has domesticated some rune horses. They are all Pegasus." Pomona said, "Can you borrow one from her for me?"

Hagrid was confused "Why did she lend me her domesticated animal?"

"Because she is as tall as you..." Pomona said cautiously, "and you also domesticated thestrals, I think you will have a common language."

Hagrid blinked his small eyes, and after a long time lowered his voice and asked, "You mean, she's the same as me?"

Pomona nodded, and Hagrid stood up happily.

"Didn't expect, I mean, I thought I was the only one left." Hagrid said as he paced. "Where is she?"

"I guess it's in France, but I'm not sure if she's still at school for the summer," Pomona said. "You can owl her first."

"Yes, that's right, it's polite." Hagrid sat down again. "I should write to her first."

Pomona remembered Hagrid's poor spelling. Would Madame Maxime like a letter from someone who couldn't even spell "Happy Birthday" correctly?

"Can you speak French?" Pomona asked.

"No." Hagrid asked worriedly. "Should I write to her in French?"

"I can help you after today's busy day." Pomona said and stood up. "Remember, don't let them be eaten by spiders, and don't let them set the forest on fire."

"I see, Dean."

Hagrid stood up and walked Pomona to the door.

Pomona saw Neville not far away. He tried to blend in with the "big kids", but he was still at the outermost edge, looking alone.

She wanted to take him to find Graplan, but on the way back yesterday, he said that he wanted to stay in the camp and help him as much as he could.

If Pomona was a parent like Augusta, she could "order" Neville to do what she said, but she respected Neville's ideas, and she needed to find another way to get to Scamander's house.

"Look at you asking for it," she murmured, how easy it would be if she gave the task to Cedric.

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

Georgiana looked at the nephew of Duke Arenberg who looked like Cedric and the vampire who looked like Sirius Black on the dance floor, and felt that she was dreaming, no, she was indeed dreaming, but even if it was a dream It's too weird.

Vampires don't claim to be bloodlines, they are given to them by Muggles, and they even make up myths for them.

Wizards are discriminated against in the eyes of Muggles, and vampires are discriminated against in the wizarding world, even though they have the immortality that Muggles desperately desire.

There is an idiom called Aiwujiwu. If you like a person, not only the place where he lives, but also the crows in his house.

The halo effect makes people like him and pay attention to his strengths, and the darkness that represents his shortcomings will be swallowed up by the "light".

Corresponding to it is the Lucifer effect. The barriers are so clear that distinguishing good people from bad people can make us feel at ease. If a person looks bad, people will find evidence to prove their point of view. In this environment, even angels will fall.

Many things are not what we see. The flame of incendio duo is also green, but it is not as harmless as the green fire of Floo.

"You said I saved you, why don't I remember?" Georgiana asked.

Lila moved closer, almost close to her ear, and said in a voice audible to both of them, "Did you forget that pool of 'blood' on the ground that night?"

Then he put Georgiana on his arm and walked to the center of the dance floor. All the dancing people stopped and looked at them in a circle.

"That's not real blood, is it?" she asked Lila Brick.

Brick smiled mysteriously and led her to waltz to the elegant music.
