Chapter 3002 The ghost in the distance (seven)

"Yes, I think I've seen this before."

Ben Cooper after viewing the memory in the Pensieve.

"See, or not." Snape gritted his teeth and said every word.

"I saw it," said Ben seriously, but Pomona thought he might have been frightened.

"It seems that we are one step closer to the truth." Dumbledore said optimistically, while Minerva remained serious.

"I think it's not the big-headed monster that's causing the trouble, but something attached to it." Pomona said, "It's like the Black Death and fleas..."

"You can go," Snape said to Ben.

Ben Cooper looked at Headmaster Dumbledore, the kind old man nodded towards him, and then Ben Cooper left the office.

"Don't say it in front of them, you don't know what rumors are going on in the school." Snape said, staring at Pomona, "Especially the Ministry of Magic is still watching us."

"I don't think Ben Cooper is a talkative guy," Pomona said.

He still wanted to argue with her, and Dumbledore said, "I think what Professor Sprout said is correct. The black object was not only attached to the big hairy monster, but even manipulated it, bringing it to Grid In the Ryffindor drawing room."

"I thought the defensive magic in the lounge would stop those dark creatures." Snape said with a half-smile, "Especially Gryffindor."

"The big-headed monster was produced in the far east. Although the founders traveled around many places in Europe, they never set foot in that land." Dumbledore said.

"Or the other way around," Pomona said.

Everyone is looking at her.

"It can be attached to the big-headed monster, or it can be attached to a person. The big-headed monster will follow the person and attack him. If the thing attached to the big-headed monster is transferred to a Gryffin What about the many students?" Pomona said.

"Where's that note?" Minerva asked, "It was also left by manipulating the students?"

Pomona recalled how the note had burned instantly when Albus touched it, and wondered if it could have been simply written on parchment with a quill.

At this time, Phoenix Fox let out a low cry, and when everyone looked at it, it shook all its feathers, as if stretching itself.

"Could it be feathers?" Snape said, looking at Fawkes.

"Feathers?" Pomona asked.

"It looks like that to me," said Snape.

Pomona carefully recalled that she only saw a black figure, more like some kind of snake swimming in the water than feathers.

"If it's a quill with black magic, I don't think the protection magic in the lounge can shield it." Minerva looked at Dumbledore, "similar to the products of Zuko's joke shop."

"Feathers can also be used as cores for wands. I remember, the day Mr. Ben Cooper was attacked, you found a cursed brick, didn't you?" Dumbledore asked.

"Yes," Pomona said. "It was put in a greenhouse, and none of those plants have come back to life now."

Dumbledore didn't speak for a long time.

"Because that quill with black magic cursed the note, and when you touched it, it was 'purified'?" Snape looked at Dumbledore and said with a smile, his smile looked malicious and full of sarcasm.

"How hard is it to find a quill in school?" laughed Dumbledore. "As the Muggle saying goes, if you want to hide a leaf, put it in the forest."

Snape was expressionless.

"So, are we going to search the whole 'forest'?" Minerva said.

"It's different from other things, and it will attack." Dumbledore said, looking at the Pensieve. "We just have to wait and see."

This approach may lead to a student being attacked, maybe he or she will be unlucky, killed like Myrtle, and Dumbledore will resign like the previous headmaster?

Pomona looked up at the portrait of Fitzgerald, who seemed to be really asleep.

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

Although the Horcrux is a very evil black magic item, Harry still brought Tom Riddle's diary into the Gryffindor lounge in the second grade, and Ginny Weasley was also manipulated by him, she Also a Gryffindor.

Ordinary ghosts cannot touch the material world, but Peeves can, and there is also Tom Riddle's ghost who has absorbed Ginny's life. Tom Riddle could even touch Harry's wand, a phoenix feather wand with the same core as the one he was holding.

Pomona yawned, her head was so heavy that even the coffee didn't help.

When Harry first dueled Voldemort in Little Hangleton's cemetery, his wand had some kind of weird connection to Voldemort's wand, even triggering the flashback spell when no one was around, including Cedric The souls within are present.

"What are you thinking?" the old bat flipped through the Daily Prophet that the owl had just delivered, and asked without looking up.

"Cedric, he's in the same class as Elena," Pomona said listlessly, "but I don't remember what he was like as a freshman."

"What do you want him to do?" The old bat glared at her fiercely.

"Flashback spells, and a phoenix feather core," said Pomona.

"The war is over," Severus said.

"I know." Pomona said, but she still couldn't help thinking about it. "Is it possible that the Dark Lord, like Harry, has a pure heart."

"Because they both have wands with phoenix feather cores?" Severus asked.

Pomona nodded.

"After the Dark Lord's resurrection, the original wand no longer suited him," Severus said slowly, "even though he once suited that wand."

Pomona watched him silently.

He's really not that handsome, especially with his hooked nose, and now he has a scar on his neck.

He also couldn't make jokes the way James and Sirius did to make her feel happy all the time.

"Do you know Su Dongpo?" Pomona said.

He looks at her.

"A poet?" he said.

"No, he's a foodie," Pomona said with a smile, "and an unlucky guy who keeps getting relegated to remote places."

"Why did you remember him?" Severus asked.

"What would you like to eat? Oysters or Dongpo pork?" Pomona asked.

He looked absolutely amazed.

"Albus said that happiness is everywhere, no matter how dark it is, as long as we remember to light up the light in our hearts. Hangzhou was recorded in Marco Polo's travels, but Hangzhou was not a 'paradise' in Su Dongpo's time, he When he first arrived, there was a severe drought and the plague was prevalent, he did not choose to escape, but chose to fight against it..."

Pomona then chattered about Su Dongpo's story. As a beginner, she actually won many rounds with Gobstone last night. This may be due to luck, or it may be because he let her. Nothing memorable.

She remembers one thing about Su Dongpo, which is to "turn decay into magic" and process unwanted ingredients into delicacies.

Mutton was only eaten by the rich and powerful in the past, and the common people could not eat it at all. Su Dongpo, who was also poor, discovered the sheep scorpion, which is the sheep bone with meat. Su Dongpo studied how to eat it, boiled the sheep bone first, and then roasted it. It can be eaten when it is slightly burnt.

It's all meat from a sheep. Why do some people despise sheep bones because they like easy-to-chew meat?

It may be because whether it is Dongpo meat or lamb scorpion, it has to be cooked "slowly". Not only can you not eat hot tofu if you are impatient, but you must not rush this kind of slow-cooked dish, you have to be patient.

The Buddha knew that Wukong was in a hurry, but Wukong should not be in a hurry, it is useless to be anxious.

Let's not worry, look, isn't happiness just here?
