Harry Potter Morning Light

"Where did you go!"

Molly stood by the river with her hands on her hips, snarling at Bill, George, and Fred.

She and Arthur just called the three of them by their names into the river, and they were about to get in a boat and search along the river.

"We're trapped by the mechanism," Bill said guiltily.

Pomona sneered.

If you don't look for them, these "explorers" don't know how long they will be trapped.

"Are we leaving?" Severus whispered in her ear.

"Wait a minute, take it easy," said Pomona lightly.

She caught a glimpse of Barnaby, Ben Cooper, and Liz muttering again, probably colluding.

Little children prefer to play with older children and distrust adults, which is ancient, unless parents can do like Arthur.

"Okay, honey, haven't they come back?" Arthur kept covering the child as usual.

"They might be in danger! What if they get hurt?" Molly yelled at him angrily, but Arthur nodded perfunctorily.

"She didn't say, 'If you hadn't watched the kids for me, they wouldn't have been missing for so long,'" Pomona muttered.

"Why is Molly saying this?" Severus asked.

"You're grounded," Molly said to Bill, George, and Fred "until you realize the seriousness!"

It didn't matter to Bill, anyway, he didn't start school in a few days.

George and Fred wailed.

"You can't do this, Mom." The twins protested together.

"Thank you." Arthur came over to shake their hands. "Thank you for helping us find them."

Severus ignored Arthur's outstretched hand, and Pomona took Arthur's hand.

"Be more careful next time," Pomona said with a smile. "Don't be negligent just because it's a vacation."

"Haha, thanks to the holiday, otherwise they violated the school rules, and I don't know how many points would be deducted." Arthur said with a smile.

Then, regardless of Snape's expression, he went back to find his family.

"What about the little trolls?" Severus asked.

"Ho Ho Ho Ho, let's not restrict the children's nature, let them explore freely." Pomona imitated Dumbledore's tone and said, "Even if we object, as long as the principal agrees, they still want to do whatever they want .”

The old bat gritted his teeth, but didn't complain like the others.

"I'm going to find the centaur tomorrow, will you come with me?" Pomona asked.

"Of course." He said firmly.

"Paul, do you want to stay with this sullen guy, or go find your playmate?" Pomona asked.

"It's so funny that they didn't take me, and I'm going to punish them," Paul said.

"I guess you're still with us for a while," Pomona said.

"No!" said Snape and Paul together.

"What can I do to keep you from being angry?" Pomona said.

"They can't leave me behind," Paul said.

"I think what they need is focus, and you're distracting them," Pomona said. "You just want to play."

"No, I can help too!" Paul said.

Pomona shook his head, "How do I know if you're not going to be helpful?"

"You want to sign a contract with me?" Paul said.

"No!" Pomona and Severus said together.

"So what do you want?" Paul said impatiently.

"You'll be a good baby and watch, okay?" Pomona asked.

After a while, Paul agreed, and Pomona called Barnaby and Cooper over and handed Paul back to them.

"Take him back to the castle!" Pomona said to them both.

"Back to the castle? Not to Professor Graplan?" Cooper looked at Paul with some horror.

"I don't want Wilmina's birds to fly away," Pomona said. "Go back to school and I'll explain to Filch."

"I'm going back then," Liz said. "I have Floo at my place."

"Of course," Pomona said with a smile.

The trio of collaborators looked at Pomona suspiciously.

"Go back," Pomona said with a smile.

They split up and left according to Pomona's instructions.

After they were all gone, Pomona went to the next door store.

"Does it have anything to do with you, Charlie!" Molly continued to "interrogate".

It was a late-night bar for adults only, and Pugliamore was sitting alone in a corner.

Pomona and Severus sat across from her.

"What do you want?" the bartender asked.

"Butter beer will do," Pomona said.

"Two fingers of whiskey," Severus said.

Then the waiter walked away.

"You said you would help me, really?" Priya asked in panic.

"We helped you out with the troll and the centaurs, didn't we?" Pomona laughed. "So tell me, what happened?"

"I promised not to let it out." Puglia said solemnly, "I am a silent man."

"How about we make an exchange?" Pomona said. "I'll tell you the secret about the cemetery, and you tell you what you know."

Puglia is still struggling.

At this moment, the waiter put the wine they wanted in front of them.

"Okay, but you guys talk first!" Puglia said after the entertainer left.

"It's about mermaids," said Pomona. "You see the bas-reliefs on the walls of the cemetery?"

Puglia suddenly realized.

"So that stone comb is for mermaids," Puglia said.

"I guess the merfolk don't want it, they prefer combs made of coral and turtle shells," Pomona said.

"Who is it for?" Puglia asked.

"We said what we knew, you should say you know," Severus said.

Puglia took a sip of wine, then spoke softly.

Since she has been observing the planting of Barber's tubers in the vegetable field in the Forbidden Forest, Puglia also often appears near the vegetable garden. It happened that one day she saw a centaur handing her necklace to Bana who was also in the vegetable field. Bee, Liz and Ben Cooper.

So Pulia proposed to explore with them, but they were not so happy because Pulia was too unlucky.

Puglia sobbed twice more at this point, then took another sip of wine, and then continued.

Bill was also very puzzled about the origin of this stone. He couldn't see what was wrong with this stone at all. Then Puglia took it to find Firenze, another eloquent centaur, and from him Puli Ya heard some news that I don't know if it's true or not.

Centaurs are proud and fair "creatures" who categorically rejected the "human" status given to them by the Ministry of Magic when they knew they were going to be classified as humans with banshees and vampires, even though this made some wizards misunderstand them as "beasts". ".

In addition to healing and divination, the centaurs are also good at studying astronomy, which includes the creation and destruction of planets.

There is an unpredictable relationship between the earth and the moon, and even humans have mined moonstones. Although the stones that Puglia showed Firenze were not like the moonstones that would glow, he still felt the relationship between them and the moon. relationship between.

"So, this stone has nothing to do with ancient magic?" asked Pomona.

"How do you know ancient magic? This is top secret." Priya said in horror.

"Obviously, it's not just you who have the secret, the professors at Hogwarts also know it." Severus said threateningly.

"Did you find the Magic Key at school?" asked Pomona.

"No, Hogwarts seems to think I'm not a member of the school anymore," Puglia said. "Only people connected with the school can find the magic key in the school. My grandpa told me so."

"Does a person only get one key?" Pomona asked.

Priya nodded, then shook her head again.

"What do you mean?" Pomona asked.

"It depends on how much connection you have with this school. Who knows, this is a place full of adventures."

"What do you know about the demolished fort?" Severus asked.

Priya was silent.

"Tomorrow night, we'll meet at the Pig's Head in Hogsmeade," Puglia said. "That's all for today, I'm tired."

Then she left.

Severus downed the whiskey in his glass in one gulp, and Pomona looked at the butterbeer, suddenly not in the mood to drink it.

If I had known earlier, I wouldn’t have ordered such a big cup.

But she still gurgled and drank it before leaving. After drinking this glass and adding the previous one, the feeling of vomiting became more and more intense.

When she left the bar, as the night wind blew, her stomach was overwhelmed. She leaned on the wall and came to the corner to vomit.

She didn't feel better until she was about to throw up bile, and then she heard voices coming from the dark alley.

She thought the speaker's voice was very familiar, and she took two steps forward, only to see that Arthur and Molly were talking.

"Don't be angry," Arthur said softly to Molly.

"It's not that I want to be angry, they are too irresponsible." Molly said angrily, "Especially Bill, he took George and Fred to such a dangerous place."

"Just went to the grave," Arthur said.

"Don't say that!" Molly said anxiously.

"It's just a test of courage, or are you afraid? Molly trembling?"

"Ugh~" Pomona hurriedly backed away, unexpectedly bumping into someone.

"Come on, it's nothing to hear," Pomona said to Severus.

He gave her a puzzled look for a moment, then apparated while grabbing her arm.
