Chapter 2648 Wind and Flowers (27)

"Haha, you are so funny."

When Pomona returned to the dinner party, he heard Slughorn's laughter from a long distance away.

Compared with when he left Hogwarts that year, the old slug gained a lot of weight, but what she didn't expect was that he would come to participate. After all, the process of Severus taking over his position was not very pleasant.

She found a place to sit down, and then fell into a daze of boredom, as if she was the only herbalist in this place full of potionists.

It was not long before someone sat down next to her, that same entomologist Bartholomew Hayden from Beauxbatons.

"Sorry, I don't want to talk about Quidditch right now," she said gently.

"Do you know Arif Sikander?" Bartholomew asked. "He taught at Hogwarts, if I remember correctly."

"Oh, you know Arif?" Pomona exclaimed.

"Something," Bartholomew said, "but Beauxbatons doesn't have a Muggle Studies class."

"And what does he teach over there?" Pomona asked.

"I don't think I said he taught at Beauxbatons," said Bartholomew.

"and you……"

"He was a substitute teacher for Muggle Studies while Quirrell was teaching European travels."

"Oh," said Pomona dryly.

"Professor Quirrell, I heard, um~ he's dead?" Bartholomew asked.

Pomona didn't speak, she suddenly felt hungry.

"Let's not talk about that unfortunate man." Bartholomew said, "Arif is quite familiar with Muggle science, has a lot of novel ideas and he has discussed Muggle chemistry with Professor Snape, but Snape The professor doesn't seem to like the subject."

It’s not just that he doesn’t like it, Pomona thought to himself, in fact, Arif irritated the old bat completely, and he didn’t even go to the auditorium for dinner, just to avoid running into Arif, and then being pestered by him to discuss “chemistry” .

Arif was a nice guy, he had a good laugh, but he once advised students to microwave a cursed quill so that anyone who touched it would laugh uncontrollably.

Muggle electrical appliances can fail for various reasons when they appear at Hogwarts, but instead of entangled with the problem of how to make the microwave oven work in Hogwarts, another problem is how to let the wizarding children know how the microwave oven works.

This starts with the Big Bang.

Before Quirrell came back from Albania, the professor of the Defense Against the Dark Arts class was named Melula. Like other teachers of the Defense Against the Dark Arts class after the mysterious man did not get the ideal position, she only served for less than a year. has resigned.

She tried to teach the children how to break the Fiercefire Curse, but she didn't expect it to get out of control. Fortunately, no one was injured, but she felt that "the curse had worked", and then she didn't even take the final exam, packed her luggage and left Hogwarts overnight , After the person left, let the owl deliver the resignation letter.

This caused the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom on the third floor to be temporarily unavailable, and so coincidentally, Quirrell came back from a trip to Europe, and he stammered that he would like to be the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor at Hogwarts, even if he couldn’t Take lessons in that classroom.

The so-called "famous teachers produce excellent apprentices", even if the mentor can't focus on teaching and educating people, doing research with him can also learn advanced knowledge in his research field, and at the same time allow students to get in touch with more people in the same industry, This puts the disciple in a favorable environment.

But there are also people whose purpose is not these. The mysterious man was already very famous when he came to Hogwarts to apply for the job, and no one could know what the consequences would be if he really won the Hogwarts Defense Against the Dark Arts professor.

Lockhart is very aware of the benefits that "fame" brings to him. In fact, he didn't make any big mistakes other than misleading his children and leading female students to write love letters to him. Of course, he used his random method to deal with werewolves. , vampires are another matter.

Most students are in awe of the teacher, and they will subconsciously obey what the teacher says. In Fei Liwei's class, Hermione said loudly to Ron, "You are doing it wrong, you have to do it like this", and then told the teacher what he did in class. Repeatedly, and then the light and fluttering feathers flew up.

Charms are very advanced, and if there is a mistake, the consequences will be unimaginable, but Pomona believes that as long as it works, the method of overcoming fear taught by Remus should not stick to one method. But when you are content to be ordinary, fame has nothing to do with you, and no one will listen to what a mediocre person says.

In fact, Pomona didn't expect her students to give her anything back. Neither did Slughorn.

But one year the graduating class did give her a set of pearl hairpins that the kids kept themselves from their first year of school. The pearls were not big, and they were very common white pearls, but she was still pleasantly surprised to receive such a gift.

At least they wouldn't be like Slughorn's little fish who suddenly disappeared one day, along with the master who cast the spell.

While everyone else was busy celebrating Voldemort's downfall and the disappearance of the prohibition he cast, only Slughorn was at a loss.

Arif also resigned after one year as a substitute, and left Hogwarts to be replaced by Kerry Dibbach, and the next semester he resigned was when Harry enrolled.

Arif taught Muggle Studies because he thought it was fun, and he didn't want to get too involved in politics. After resigning, he traveled to Europe and met Bartholomew Hayden.

Arif was the kind of guy who made the first move, and so was Bartholomew Hayden, and they quickly became friends. But Pomona felt that he still had to be careful not to say "superfluous" words like the Twelve Trees of Dorcas.

How can you guard against a person who approaches you in the guise of a lover, but has been plotting to murder you?

Although Hayden didn't approach her to show love, the name Bartholomew reminded her involuntarily of Rappaporta, Queenie, Jacob, Minerva and Robert.

"Is Professor Snape married?" Hayden asked suddenly.

"No." Pomona replied.

"So who's he dating?" Hayden continued.

"I don't know, it's his personal privacy." Pomona said evasively.

"I really want to see who he ends up with."

"Are you hungry?" Pomona asked.

Then, without waiting for Hayden's answer, he stood up and walked towards the buffet bar, keeping away from the "insect" as fast as he could.

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

Georgiana moved Margaret's head slightly, letting her sleep on the sofa, stood up herself, and sat down at the table where she had just written the letter.

When Pomona changed Severus into a new suit, it was like the red parade suit that Josephine gave Bonaparte, as if it was a new beginning.

Also a woman, she could feel that Josephine loved Bonaparte.

Raggett talked about the benefits of slavery for a long time, hoping that Georgiana would give up her insistence, but she remembered how crazy the Queen of Portugal was.

Guilt and a bad conscience can eat away at a person's physical and mental health, and she doesn't want to be like that.

Napoleon's servants rarely use the "neutral" camp, although in the eyes of many people, neutrality means that both sides can benefit from both sides in order to win them over.

She finally took a blank paper to draft a document, and she wanted to donate those roses to Luxembourg Primary School in the name of Josephine as a fulfillment of her promise.

Since this is just a dream, she still hopes to be free, why should she be restrained in the dream? Even if it's just a dream.
