Chapter 341 The Land of Rest

Phileas Blake and Angus Buchanan were born in the same year and participated in the sorting ceremony together on September 1, 1858.

As the only Squib who participated in the Hogwarts Sorting Ceremony, he later wrote his autobiography "My Life as a Squib", which was a bestseller worldwide, and his popularity is far greater than that of Phileas Black.

Born into a pure-blood family in a small Scottish Borders village, he was the third and oldest son of a grumpy father, an overworked mother and ten siblings.

After the sorting ceremony, Angus left the auditorium in tears and walked back home. His house was always noisy, and his father didn't care much about the children, so he didn't even know he had a Squib son. . Angus, 11, walked to Edinburgh with no family and no money, lied about his age, and was arrested as a worker by his father after being "disgraced" in public. Taken in by a gracious, childless Muggle foreman and wife. During the seven years they lived together, Angus discovered that Muggles were not as bad as their parents said.

Tall and good-natured, he enjoyed sports and was very good at the fledgling game of rugby, in addition to his flair for cricket.

In 1871, he represented Scotland in the first ever international rugby match. All ten of his brothers and sisters came. widely known in China.

How difficult the situation of the Squibs in the wizarding world is, you can see the attitude of Phileas. They are second-class citizens in the wizarding world, but living in Muggle society has to cut off all ties between them and wizards. After the publication of Angus Buchanan's book, wizards in many countries began to watch the Buchanan competition, and Phileas was obviously not among them. He didn't even know that Angus was a well-known person in the Muggle and wizard circles.

Founded shortly after Buchanan's death, the Scottish Rugby Union Wizarding Supporters' Association still meets today on the night of every Scottish international match for a happy, dirt-covered fight. Eighty minutes to grab. In the eyes of the wizards, supporting any rugby team other than Scotland is "degrading", and because of this, discussing Scottish rugby has become one of the ways for wizards to hide their identities in front of Muggles and build mutual trust .

Angus Buchanan and Angus Filch have the same name, both are Squibs, but their destinies are completely different.

She doesn't know much about Filch except that Filch is serious about his work and likes Mrs. Norris very much. Pomona is very happy to see him with Mrs. Pince. Maybe their children won't be Squibs .

But Pomona didn't dare to take risks with Neville. She couldn't accept a female werewolf becoming Mrs. Longbottom. As long as Lavender hadn't been bitten, she could accept it even if she was a Muggleborn or even a Muggle Pomona. Only werewolves can't.

After the werewolves and humans are at war, she will definitely be excluded in various ways if she continues to stay in school. Learning to hide will bring her a lot of convenience, at least she will not have to struggle in the sea of ​​people when she is penniless .

There is always a lingering shadow in her mind. A woman with a big belly can't get any help in this civilized society full of people. She only looks at her with cold and ruthless contempt and ridicule.

She was desperate, and had no choice but to sell the only valuable thing on her body—a beautiful locket, but the locket was only sold for 10 Galleons, and she used it up in a short time. She knew there was nothing she could do, and she didn't want to go to church, so she had to go to places like Muggle orphanages for help.

If she can survive, as long as she can get through pregnancy, the most vulnerable period in a woman's life, she will do everything possible to raise her child.

She may not be able to give him a rich life, but she can give him enough love. She couldn't imagine how Armando Dippet would spend his summer vacation after he refused Tom's request to stay in school.

He became independent prematurely and did not depend on anyone, anything, or anything. How can an 11-year-old survive in this indifferent society?

He didn't meet well-meaning Muggles like Angus Buchanan. There was no place for him in the world on either side. No one really understood him and tolerated him. He made mistakes and no one corrected him. Using him to deal with Grindelwald's white wizard made his character so distorted and extreme.

Whose fault is this?

Pomona was reminded of a Muggle detective novel, Murder on the Orient Express, in which the murderer was everyone in the carriage except the detective, but each of them was a poor victim, no one was innocent.

In Sybyl's prophecy, the blood of an innocent man would splatter, and she couldn't think of anyone more innocent than Remus Lupin.

He was bitten by Fenrir Greyback when he was four years old, because his father Lyle Lupine said werewolves are evil and damned, Fenrir bit little Remus for revenge, that's all right, Lyall's son was a damn werewolf too.

Lyle gave everything to save his son, the poor old man was even willing to live with a werewolf, but Remus refused him, Remus didn't want to hurt anyone, he would rather be hurt himself.

"Why did you forget to take your medicine that night, Remus?"

Standing in front of the graves of Remus Lupine and Nymphadora Lupine, Pomona asked why he forgot to drink the medicine that was not tasty but kept him healthy.

She knew that there were many things waiting to be done, but now she just wanted to have a moment of peace. Xueluo's voice was very soft, but there would still be a slight sound if it fell too much. This kind of scenery is like a snowflake shaker ball, and when shaken, it will produce an unusually beautiful heavy snow.

At that moment, she was shot in the heart by Venus, and she regarded the skinny werewolf as the big villain. In fact, he was not like this in essence, but the werewolf lost his mind after transforming.

"And you, Nymphadora, why don't you stay home and take care of Teddy?" she said with rare sternness. "I hate young people dying before me."

She held the wand, pointed it at the ring, and summoned the leprechaun in a cold tone. The emerald green smoke reminded her of the potion of white moss, and at the same time reminded her of the emerald green potion in the basin, Regu Ruth and Kricht both drank.

With a soft sound, Severus Snape appeared. He was still wearing the same black robe as before. His eyes first stayed on her face, and then saw the tombstone behind her.

"We'll be buried here when we die. I don't like being neighbors with Lily." She said aggressively.

"Whatever you want." He said perfunctorily, "Are you shopping at the cemetery?"

"Buy a cemetery, yes!" she exclaimed nervously. "And, I hate Hogwarts!"

"Then you still let Dumbledore be buried in the white tomb?"

"He gave his life for the school, and he deserves it." Pomona cried and said, "If he is buried in the cemetery, everyone will soon forget him, no one will miss him, and he will be buried in the cemetery." School, those kids are his heirs."

"Narcissa once chased Klitsch to ask where Regulus went, should I tell her?"

"I have a plan to use a time-turner to go back to twenty-six years ago and let Kricht bring Regulus back." She told Severus what she had told Klitsch, and then Said, "Kritch and Regulus both drank that emerald green potion, and Albus Dumbledore, his stomach should be full of that potion."

"You're talking about digging his grave? Did you hear what you said?"

"No, let him vomit the potion before he jumped off the Astronomy Tower." Pomona smiled wryly, "I really don't know if it's a coincidence, Hermione's elf liberation organization is called vomiting .”

"I don't want to guess fate anymore." He sighed, "And I don't want to do it. You said you wouldn't force me to do things I don't want to do."

She didn't know what to do.

"I didn't think about revenge when I knew it was Pete Pedro who betrayed Lily and not Sirius Black, but when I saw that stupid dog in the screaming house, all I could do was 'revenge tastes good ’ I can’t think of anything else to say.” He licked his lips, as if remembering the delicious taste, and said, “It’s weird, I hate him the most in the Predator quartet, even public humiliation My James Potters are all behind him, and you know why?"

She didn't know how to answer.

"He told me, he knows where you live? And he's still dating you." He said with a smile, "He left the home when he was 16, and he was looking for a house when he was 17. At that time, you, Lupine And he lives with him, right?"

"I rarely go there, usually I live in the school."

"You are different from ordinary girls. You don't look at his appearance. He likes being with you very much, especially after James Potter and Lily started dating in seventh grade. He doesn't want to marry Andromeda, and he doesn't want to be casual. Find a woman, he's consciously approaching you, Pomona, just like Bill teaching Fleur's English class." He smiled even more freely "He started life with a good hand, but he was beaten by himself Well, I started my life with a bad set of cards, but I played it well, and I think there is something else between us besides luck."

"You want to say you're smarter than him?"

"No, I was more serious than him. My mother named me this to make me love something seriously. At first I thought it was magic, but that school, and the children of nobles and rich people made me discover There is no difference between the wizarding world and the Muggle world, just when I began to doubt whether magic can change my fate, you appeared." He took out a letter from the deformed lizard skin pocket, "Remember Jack said to Rose If so? Winning that ticket was the greatest luck in his life. Before I received this letter, I met Lily, and I could play with her, but I still have to go to Spider’s End when I go home at night. I didn't have to go back to that house until I got into Hogwarts, you changed my fate, Knox, don't call yourself Gorgon anymore."

He handed over the letter, already yellowing, with the Hogwarts crest on the envelope, along with the school motto "Don't Disturb the Sleeping Dragon" and "Dry Tree Hole by the River" written in green ink. To Mr. Severus Snape in ".

"I can tell you now that the greatest luck in my life is to get the acceptance letter from Hogwarts. I originally wanted to give it to you on your birthday, but I think it would be better to give it to you on my birthday."

"It's too expensive, Severus." Pomona didn't dare to pick it up.

He took her hand and put the letter in her palm with a calm expression.

"I hope you will accept it."

Her brain lost the ability to think, and she foolishly accepted it.

Suddenly, a child's laughter came from the cemetery. She looked in that direction, and a red-haired girl disappeared behind the angel sculpture.

"Merlin's beard, you are really a lover." Pomona murmured.

He smiled triumphantly.

"How do you like it?"

"Of course!" she yelled excitedly, jumping up and hugging him like a koala, just as excited as any child who received a letter of admission to Hogwarts.
