Chapter 2968
Bill has excellent grades, and he is the proud student in Fei Liwei's eyes. He is also very successful as a substitute teacher for the Defense Against the Dark Arts class, but it does not mean that he is an excellent prefect.
Or in Charlie's words, he did a terrible job, and now Gryffindor is completely out of control. Someone even gave Filch a mace as a "Christmas gift", so that " The monster" was running around after Filch.
He tries to fit in with the others, which leads to him finding out about the shenanigans and not being "nosy". To make matters worse, he was not good at Quidditch, and he had a newborn brother, Percy.
Percy was now the leader of the freshmen, because everyone knew he was the prefect's younger brother, and if Percy could do something, so could the others.
"What did Patsy do?" Pomona asked Charlie on the way back to the castle.
"Nothing." Charlie said dejectedly.
"Is it about the mouse?" Pomona asked again.
"No." Charlie said.
Pomona couldn't guess what Percy would do for a moment. Could it be that he was so ambitious that he planned to steal Bill's prefect badge as a freshman?
Then they parted at Hagrid's hut, and Charlie had no intention of going back to the castle with them.
When the children grow up to a certain age, it is inevitable that they will have a little secret or two.
Pomona didn't go into what Charlie and Hagrid were hiding, and went back to the castle with Russ. He was indeed not a talkative person, but he chatted with Pomona about how to eat a lot of arctic cuisine. The fish in the Arctic are generally large in size and have firm flesh. In summer, berries and seaweed can be dug up. They don’t need a refrigerator, and they can be placed directly in a hole made in the ice, and they can be taken out to make salads.
His description made Pomona want to make sea bath salad, but unfortunately that kind of sea bath salad is not available in Scotland, so she can only use something else instead.
Pomona first thought of the Snotlite. Didn't he have bone-eroding snotflowers, and many of his potion ingredients are dried ingredients, which can be eaten after soaking in water.
She thought so and did so, but when she got to the cellar she realized he wasn't in her office.
At this time, she began to worry a little, did he encounter an accident in the Forbidden Forest?
Just as she was about to go back, Paul appeared.
"This school is really weird." Paul, the eccentric little puppet, complained.
"What happened?" Pomona asked.
"Come with me," Paul said, and led her to the fourth floor.
Severus and Filch were here, and Filch was holding Mrs. Loris.
"Don't be afraid." Filch said gently to Mrs. Loris, "You are safe."
As soon as they approached, Pomona felt a biting chill, and the door Filch was looking at had a thin layer of frost, which looked like it was frozen.
"What's the matter?" Pomona asked.
"This place is cursed." Filch said maliciously. "We should seal this place."
"Why is it so cold?" Pomona asked.
Severus didn't speak, his expression was always serious, but the frown seemed to be tighter than usual.
Not long after, he walked towards the door.

During the inspection, they found an aquarium in the basement.
First of all, she doesn't understand why there is an aquarium here. It is octagonal, perhaps for the convenience of viewing. At the intersection of each side, there will be a lamp holder for candles, decorated with arabesques. Just beautifully crafted.
Then she couldn't understand why Richard and St. Hilaire looked at each other in such a way, as if they knew a tacit secret.
This aquarium is very gorgeous, it is arranged like an underwater world, with crabs crawling on the bottom of the water, shells of various colors, and a black and white sea snake, which is patrolling back and forth like the overlord of this small world, when it appears At that time, all the fish were hiding in small colorful houses that looked like villagers.
"What do you know, Dad?" Maria asked.
Edgeworth pretended not to hear when his eyes met St. Hilaire's.
"Is this tank the same as the one where you found the Nile fin?" Georgiana asked Saint-Hilaire.
"My aquarium is mainly used for academic research," St. Hilaire said.
"Where is this fish tank?" Mariachi asked reluctantly.
"Perhaps it's just a display," said Miss Lamont.
"What about you? Know what this is for?" Georgiana asked Hunter.
"I've heard a rumor," Hunter said, "but I'm not sure."
"What rumor?" said Miss Lamont.
"It's a sanctuary," Hunter replied, "and tends to his fish when the owner wants to be alone for a while away from everyone."
"It's a luxurious pastime." Richard said immediately, "Even if you don't count the decorations in the fish tank, it's full of sea fish."
"Who would put the fish tank here?" Georgiana asked. "The one who donated the castle?"
"I haven't heard of him having a hobby in this area. He is a social person." Richard said.
"Shall we move it?" asked Miss Lamont.
“No, leave it here,” Georgiana said, remembering Fresnel’s glass jar in the museum teaching children about traveling wave resistance “for a class later.”
Then she looked around to see if she could find anything interesting.

Instead of pushing the door open with his hands, Severus raised his wand, being careful not to touch anything.
Although there was only a layer of frost on the outside of the door, the inside of the room was frozen, as if it had become the Snow Queen's castle.
At first Pomona thought that the windows were not closed, but after careful observation, he found that every window was tightly closed, and there was no howling cold wind blowing in.
"Are you sure the glass in these windows is good?" Pomona asked Filch.
"Of course," said Filch, "I replaced all the broken windows before winter came."
"You don't come in," Pomona told Filch, following Severus into the room.
This should be used to store sundries, and a large cabinet can also be seen.
"Looks like that scavenger hunt has gotten out of hand," Severus said coldly, magically opening the cabinet door.
There is only one stone inside, and it looks like the bricks used to build the castle.
Pomona raised his hand and felt the direction of the cold air.
"It came from here."
"How can a single stone create so much air?" Filch stood at the door, looking around.
"We'll figure it out," Severus said, levitating the stone with a Levitation Charm, and left the room.
"Does the fourth floor still need to be sealed off?" Pomona, who was planning to leave after Severus left, asked Filch as he passed by.
"Let's seal it." She said casually, thinking that when the stone was removed, the ice would melt by itself.
"Seal this layer, there is powerful black magic on this stone." Severus said in a dignified tone.
"Yes, Professor," said Filch, and taking a broom, he closed the door behind the handle.
