Chapter 2805 Red Hunger (7)

The Weasleys' house was built in a reed field, and although it was hard to tell, they did have a large overgrown garden.

The garden was inhabited by so many goblins that the Weasleys had to clear it regularly, throwing them over the fence. The goblins would always sneak back though, because Arthur was too easy on them.

For this reason, the Weasley family kept a "pet" ghoul, and its food was goblins. The relationship between ghouls and goblins was like a cat and a mouse, although Percy regarded a mouse as a pet.

The business of the jingle bar (jingle) has become very good because of the arrival of the students. In addition to the fruity fireweed juice, the mango chicken sandwich at the bar is also very good. Barnaby also ordered a pea Stewed chicken soup, with his usual meal size, this is already a small amount.

"You said you've been tracking pack animals for a year, what's that about?" Severus asked Liz.

Liz quickly told the whole story.

Last year, Liz, like all fifth-grade students, was preparing for the Owls exam, and when she was looking up materials in the library, Peeves came in again to make trouble.

Mrs. Pince tried to throw him out of the library, but it seemed to make the library even more chaotic. After Peeves left, the library was in a mess.

Mrs. Pince returned most of the books to their original positions with "restore as new", but a few pages of yellowed paper were left on the ground. Liz accidentally saw it and picked it up.

"I wanted to put it back where it came from, but I didn't know it fell from that book," Liz explained hastily.

"And then?" Snape asked.

"I found out it was a map," Liz said.

Following the map, Liz found a secret cave, but she didn't know how to get in. After going there several times, one day she found a bunch of horned beast footprints at the entrance of the cave. These footprints were deep and looked like Carried a heavy load.

"The string of footprints went into the cave, but I don't know where the cave leads, and whether there is another exit." Liz said.

Snape looked at her grimly.

"Where's the map?" Pomona asked.

Liz immediately took out the map from the leather satchel.

"It leads to the mine," said Liz. "Goblins are the best at digging tunnels."

"How did you know about the helmet?" Severus asked.

This is the result of Liz's observations. Ordinary river valley trolls are not as ferocious as mountain trolls. That's why the wizards thought of training trolls as bodyguards.

But their intelligence was really limited, and they couldn't teach them no matter what. The troll wearing a helmet was obviously much smarter than them, and the one Barnaby eliminated just now could even tame a pack beast.

Then Liz discovered that the trolls' temperament would change drastically after wearing the helmet, so Liz thought it was a magic item made by the Goblin King to develop soldiers who obeyed his orders.

"It's not just what I think, but also this." Liz found out a few pages of yellowed paper and put them on the table.

The author of the drawings and materials was Helios Black, and the time of the records happened to be during the goblin rebellion.

"I can't believe it either, I'd say something like that," Liz said sadly, "but the troll will keep attacking until we die, or he dies, and the helmet destroyed the troll's brain."

"Like an Inferi," Severus said.

"That's right," Liz said.

"Can you stop talking about this topic?" Barnaby said irritably, "I have to go to the blacksmith's shop and order a collar for Lu Wei."

Regardless of how small Lu Wei is now, when he grows up, ordinary ropes won't be able to tie him down.

"Let's go when you're done, it's against the current when you go back," Severus said.

When the four of them left the bar, Pomona held Leeds.

"You lied, didn't you?" Pomona said in a low voice.

Liz was very guilty.

"What else did you not say?" Pomona asked casually.

"Helios Black is the ghost of Hogwarts, and he was a member of the Headless Hunter." Liz said anxiously. "He is dead, senpai, and he doesn't know how he died."

"Has his head been chopped off?" asked Pomona.

Liz nodded repeatedly.

Pomona didn't know what to say. Liz actually did such a dangerous thing and kept it a secret for almost a year. If there is another accident...

"Hi, Professor." Rudy walked toward Pomona.

"What's the matter?" Severus said.

Rudy looked at him.

"I'm going back to school first, 'Professor'," Pomona said to Snape, then glanced at Rudy.

He understood, and Pomona left with two students.

The way back was indeed difficult and took longer than Shun Shui. Fortunately, there were mermaids to pick them up.

For most students, it was a confinement trip with a bit of a sideshow, something to talk about later.

But Pomona didn't want this matter to be published in the newspapers. She planned to give this "credit" to the school. She believed that Barnaby would not care about it. The trouble was Rita Kister, who had been planning it since last year. Whether it is writing about the children of the Death Eaters who continue to do evil and arouse the anger of everyone, or the children of the Death Eaters who abandon the dark and turn to the light and arouse the sympathy of everyone, it is more "juicy" than the article she is writing now.

The only barrier is that Rita Kester is an outsider, and it is hard to say how much of this barrier is left. Every time she saw Emily delivering a letter to the owl shack, Pomona was terrified, but she couldn't stun the owl and read the letter.

After returning to school, the sun had already set, and Pomona was sleeping on the sofa, not wanting to move at all. Whether she was awake or asleep, she always saw those small wounds on the horned animals, although these wounds were small and could It's scary enough to be left on a pack beast.

Then she thought of Grapp again, she had made Severus use his sharp edge on him before, was there anyone else like her?

There is still a difference between trolls and giants, not just height and size.

Gropp didn't wear shoes, he was barefoot all year round, but he had a suit, not to mention Hagrid.

A black shadow appeared before her eyes, and she looked up to find Snape standing beside the sofa.

She didn't want to talk now, so she changed into the same daze as before.

"Did the Infernal Corpse thing scare you?" He said in a low voice, with a sneer in his tone.

"Can you hug me?" she said.

He was silent for a while.

"Your request is a bit out of place," he said in a drawl.

"Then get out!" She got up from the sofa.

He hesitated, and sat down where she had been, and Pomona laid her head on his shoulder in a moment.

He froze for a moment, then relaxed, straight as a log.

"Have you ever been to the Hufflepuff Lounge?" Pomona asked.

"No." He said quietly.

"When we have 'difficulties', we rely on each other like we do now, no matter who is sitting on the couch." Pomona said, "The burden of this world cannot be carried by one person. The troubles of this world , a person cannot bear it, whether he is a human being or a giant."

It took him a while to digest, and then he awkwardly reached out to give her a hug, and Pomona hugged him back, just like that year in XZ Snow Mountain.

In the smell of sage, she fell asleep quickly, and the scarred pack animal was no longer in sight.

She saw a knight in black, riding a flaming horse that seemed to come from hell to a hill, and then used superb riding skills to make it stand upright. Behind him was a huge full moon.

That scene was so unreal, no wonder it could only appear in a dream.
