Chapter 2863 Hagrid's Holiday (13)

Hagrid raised some chickens in the orchard of the Forbidden Forest, and Gropp put the wood next to the test field in order to prevent them from leaving feces in the field and affecting the experimental data.

"I found it." Bill put a book on the table of the three broomsticks. "I remember seeing this name somewhere."

Everyone gathered around.

The book is called "The Famous Beast Wisperer in History", and it includes Parseltongues like Salazar Slytherin. "Famous for Whispering Animals, he was a Yemeni-born Muggle-born wizard who studied at Slytherin before becoming Professor of Beastry at Hogwarts.

"It must be a joke," said Barnaby bluntly.

Ben Cooper, who was drinking butterbeer, nearly choked to death after hearing Bill's introduction.

"There's no Muggleborn on it." Liz Stewart read the contents of the book carefully and said, "He just left his Muggle family."

"How do you feel?" Pomona stood by the bar and asked Dean Slytherin beside him.

"How do you feel about a Slytherin becoming Headmaster of Hufflepuff?" the old bat sarcastically said.

"It only says he's a professor of zoology, not Dean Hufflepuff," Pomona said.

"Miss Stewart also said that he just left the Muggle family. How do you know he's not a half-breed?"

Pomona didn't bother to argue with him and continued to eavesdrop on the students' findings.

"The headmaster at the time was named Niam Fitzgerald, she was from Ravenclaw College, and the professor of divination was Percival Lachman, from Hufflepuff." Liz read the contents of the book in disbelief "Is this world crazy?"

"The four of them are good friends, wait a minute." Charlie counted his fingers, "Why do I only see the names of three people?"

"I know the name," Bill said again.

"Who?" asked Barnaby.

"Percival Lachman, he participated in the negotiations with the goblins and participated in the formation of Gringotts." Bill said.

"It seems that there are quite a few famous people in your academy." Severus teased.

"If Bill really becomes a spellbreaker, are there any other candidates for the Potion Contest?" Pomona asked.

The old bat stopped laughing now.

Pomona took a sip of the canyon water, and now she also remembered why Severus would remember Priya Moore. She scored 12 o's like Bill, but this result is not too prominent in Ravencrow , because there are many people with 10 o's.

At this moment, she remembered Hufflepuff's "average grade" again, and she couldn't laugh anymore.

"Why is he building a tower outside the school?" Liz said confused.

"The professor said he was there to observe the stars," said Barnaby.

"Shall we go and see?" Charlie asked.

"I don't think those two hippogriffs are going back," Bill said.

"What did you find after those dragonflies?" Liz asked.

"I found the Quidditch pads, which are just right for next term," said Charlie.

"I haven't found anything," said Ben Cooper sadly.

Everyone was used to his misfortune, so they didn't care about it.

"I found a book on how to care for a pack beast," said Liz. "And you, Barnaby."

Barnaby didn't answer, he fumbled for the ring on his finger.

"So, where do we go next, back to school or to the swamp?" Charlie asked.

"Wait until I finish my beer, it's too hot today," Bill said.

"What did you find?" Pomona asked Severus.

He took a pearl necklace from his pocket.

"It's what Headmaster Fitzgerald wears on his head," Severus said. "I've seen her wear it that way in the portrait in the Headmaster's office."

"Where did you find it?" Pomona asked.

"The alchemy room," Severus said. "You want to visit?"

Pomona shook her head, still trying to figure out what to do with the students for the summer.

"Let's go to Bakarta," he said, "and see what we find."

"These little guys want to go," Pomona said.

"They can get on with the centaurs and trolls," Severus said.

Pomona felt that it was a miraculous coincidence that they and the descendants of the former headmaster became acquainted because of the key, so he nodded in agreement.

Then he looked at Barnaby.

"Let's go to Hagrid." Barnaby said suddenly, "It's time to deal with the centaurs and trolls."

Pomona looked at Severus.

"Let's go." He pretended to be calm and drank the last bit of wine.

When they were about to leave, the children had already left, and Pomona paid attention to Ben Cooper, who had a strange expression on his face.

"What's wrong?" Severus asked her.

"Do you know what a guilty look looks like?" Pomona asked.

"Of course I know." The old bat who often caught students who violated school rules said grimly.

Pomona also often saw children tell lies. After all, they are not as skilled as adults.

But Ben Cooper is unwilling to lie, saying that he was almost sent to the madhouse by his parents when he said that he could not see the ghost. Why would he lie?

Suddenly there was a sound behind her, like coins spinning on a wooden table.

When she turned her head, she found that a drinker was paying.

"Come on," Pomona said to Severus, and they left the Three Broomsticks together.

It was some distance from Hogsmeade to Barkarta, and using the Death Eater's fly spell during the day was too conspicuous, but Pomona couldn't imagine Snape riding a broom either.

While she was holding back her laughter and waiting for the show, Severus went to the Hog's Head.

Aberforth hadn't had a visitor for a long time, and his fireplace was full of ashes, and when Pomona came out of the fireplace, he was covered in ashes.

"It was left by poachers before," Severus said. "That's what I thought it would be."

Pomona didn't understand what he said, and when they walked out of the cabin, the towering Bakar Tower was in front of them.

It sits on the edge of a cliff and has the same blue roof as Hogwarts Castle, as if a piece of the castle flew here.

"This tower has only windows and no entrance," Severus said. "Poachers are going to fly in on hippogriffs."

"Where's the broomstick?" Pomona asked.

"Just like Nurmengard, no broomstick can fly up there."

After he finished speaking, he left and walked towards Bakarta first.

Just as Pomona took two steps forward, a vision appeared again.

It was a stone wall that looked a lot like ordinary rock, or rather like the dancing bricks at the entrance to Diagon Alley.

After hitting the rocks with the wand in a certain order, after the rocks that make up the stone wall receded, a door was exposed, and there was a lock on the door that needed to be opened with a key.

She had a hunch that today they would return empty-handed.

Then she took another look at the tower. Is it really for observing the starry sky as Albus said?

"What are you waiting for?" Severus asked.

She didn't say anything, but followed, wondering where the key to unlock the lock was hidden?
