Harry Potter Morning Light

Deep beneath Whitehall, where the Department of Mysteries is located, there is such a room.

It looked dimly lit, with a hollow in the center, forming a huge stone pit. Stone steps surrounded the entire room, like stone benches, gradually descending step by step, each step was steep, like a lecture theater.

In the center of the pit, instead of a chained chair, there was a raised platform with an archway above it, and a tattered drapery hanging from it, which, though there was no wind, Still swinging gently.

Some say that voices can be heard from across the veil, as if someone was there...

"Go! Jay still has a few tickets for the Weird Sisters' concert!"

Pomona dodges two students running down the hallway.

The Weird Sisters are going to hold a concert during the summer holidays, and although the summer holiday is still some time away, tickets are already on sale, and a new black market has formed once again.

She hurried to Filch's office, and when the door opened she was greeted first by Mrs. Loris, who was looking at Pomona with wide red eyes.

"Professor, here you are." Filch said in a slightly smug tone, "These are the two students who are going to provoke the Whomping Willow."

"Dean." Tonks and Tupri looked at her pitifully.

After making sure Filch wasn't shackling them both, Pomona looked at Filch.

"They are freshmen. I think they must have lost their way. Thank you for finding them, Argus."

"No……"

"Thank you Mr. Filch yet?" Pomona said to Tonks and Tupri.

"Thank you for saving us, Mr. Filch," said Tonks and Tupri together.

Filch was speechless.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Pomona left Filch's office with Tonks and Tupri.

"What's the matter with you two? Why are you so adventurous?" Pomona said to the two of them after reaching a place where no one was there.

"We want to take a closer look," said Tonks.

"The Whomping Willow will attack anything that moves, it doesn't care if it's a person or not." Pomona said angrily, "Peeves took you there?"

"No, we went by ourselves." Tupri said "justly".

"Then you have to be responsible for your own actions. From today until the day of summer vacation, you will be in confinement. Come to my greenhouse tomorrow afternoon." Pomona said.

The two wailed together.

Pomona was relentlessly ignoring this, and if the Whomping Willow had actually hurt them, they were either in the hospital wing at the moment, or somewhere worse.

Having settled the matter, she went up the grand staircase, and the Fat Lady was singing opera again.

If she wasn't singing high notes for high notes' sake, she'd have a nice voice. She came to the spiral staircase on the third floor and took it to the principal's office.

She was a little late, the faculty union had already started. Snape was standing on the outermost floor, near the door. He had noticed Pomona as soon as he appeared, and he moved to the side.

"Where did it go?" she asked in a low voice.

"Listen yourself." He said impatiently.

The principal is giving instructions about final exams and owls exams.

"Do you think Carter can last until next year?"

Pomona looked over, and it was the professor of ancient runes and the professor of arithmetic and divination talking in a low voice.

"I don't think so." The professor of arithmetic and divination said in a low voice, "It's not like you don't know how powerful that curse is."

"Are you busy tomorrow?" Snape asked her.

"There are two students going to detention," Pomona said.

"Confinement? You?" He twisted his lips and smiled maliciously.

"Is there a question?" Pomona said.

"Tomorrow is the weekend, and you are going to confine the students on the weekend?" He asked with a smile.

Pomona slapped her forehead, and she forgot about it.

"Do you have any questions, Professor Sprout?" Dumbledore asked.

"No, nothing." Pomona dropped his hand. "I just slapped a mosquito."

Dumbledore went on about exam week, Snape let out a muffled laugh, and Pomona wanted to step on him.

When the meeting was finally over, they left with the others, and Albus didn't leave anyone alone to talk.

Everything seems to be calm.

"By the way, I almost forgot to tell you something." On the way down the stairs, Snape suddenly said, "The headmaster is going to set up a new project, the Horned Beast Release Project."

"What? When? Why did Albus tell you?" Pomona asked.

"Because it's about Liz Stewart, do you think she's up to the task?" Snape said.

"I'll have to ask her that," Pomona said.

"I'm asking for your opinion, not hers. If she's not up to the task, someone else will be replaced. The Ministry of Magic is not just a conservationist of magical animals." Snape said, "This can be an international cooperation project."

"Leeds haven't graduated yet."

"Didn't Scamander fail to graduate? Vera can't live with humans all the time, she will be put in the forest in the end."

"But can Leeds go in the current situation?" asked Pomona.

"That's why I'm asking for your opinion, it's actually a good thing to have her out of all this," said Snape, by this time they were in the hall.

In normal times, Pomona would definitely ask Liz for her own opinion instead of making decisions for her.

Because of the rumors, Cole of Gryffindor has become the primary suspect for Barnaby's violence. Now he is as angry as James in the past, looking for Barnaby's "theory" everywhere.

But Barnaby seemed to disappear from the school at once. He neither dropped out nor suspended, and his homework was always handed in on time, but he was nowhere to be seen in class.

"Tomorrow...shall we meet here, or go to North Ford Marsh?" Snape asked.

"We'll talk about it at dinner," said Pomona wearily.

"I don't want to eat at school on Friday night," Snape said.

"Then where do you want to go?"

Before Snape could finish speaking, Charlie hurried into the hall.

"Where are you going, Mr. Weasley!" Pomona called to Charlie.

"They've kidnapped Ben," Charlie told Pomona. "They won't let him go until Barnaby intervenes."

"Wait, who kidnapped whom?" Pomona stopped Charlie who was in a hurry and wanted to run away.

"Cole and the others kidnapped Ben and asked Barnaby to come out and speak clearly." After Charlie finished speaking, he ran to the Gryffindor Tower.

"Where are they?" Snape asked.

"Screaming Shack," said Charlie without looking back.

Snape's magic pressure soared.

"There were two little ones in the first grade just now. They messed with the Whomping Willow." Pomona said with a smile, "I punished them for confinement until the end of the semester."

"The moon will be full soon." Snape said coldly, "Will there be a werewolf going there to transform?"

"I think it's Lupine's secret," said Pomona softly.

"Go and inform Li's guardian, whether he is a guardian or a member of the werewolf capture team, he should come forward." Snape said.

"How did they get to that place?" Pomona muttered, "Except for the secret passage, the surrounding area is sealed off."

He obviously didn't care about this and walked towards the outside of the school.
