Harry Potter Morning Light

Chapter 2781 Spots of Youth ([-])

A Muggle statesman named Henry Clay once said: We see a great nation agitated from the inside out, like a stormy sea.

Britain in the 70s not only had the Beatles, disco, and bell-bottoms. Teenagers in this period had a different concept of "adulthood" than in the past.

According to the past tradition, marriage and motherhood are the only way for a woman to become an adult. If a girl is unwilling to enter marriage, she will be defined as an irresponsible teenager.And some teenagers in the 70s will think about how to become a dignified "young woman".

Instead of driving their parents crazy with loud music, the latest dance and dating questions, boys and girls think about work and social status, and show their maturity by owning their own worth.

The difference between Pomona and Lily is not only that Pomona is an "old antique", but Lily is the "breakthrough generation" influenced by new trends. Time seems to have stopped in the 17th century, the period when wizards were forced to hide themselves, and wizards' clothing, customs and life principles all parted ways with Muggles.

Compared with the hustle and bustle outside the school, the school is relatively peaceful.Even though they're no longer friends, Pomona still hears from Lily.Just like today, they had originally planned to meet in the music classroom on the fifth floor, but only Sirius and Peter came, because James tried to ask Lily again, and wanted to join her in Slughorn's Slug Club .

It's not that James really wants to go to the Slug Club, but that he simply wants to have a double with her, but James obviously doesn't meet Slughorn's standards, and Slughorn would rather Sirius joins the Slug Club so he can "take in" both Black brothers.

The double-sided mirror that Sirius gave James was actually supposed to be for Regulus, but now that the two of them met in the school corridor, they would act as if they hadn’t seen each other. Not to mention that the two have nothing to talk about.

For this, Sirius' uncle Alfred expressed his support, he himself did not like some of the mysterious man's style. A goblin rebellion almost broke out in the 19th century, when Phileas Black happened to be the headmaster.

If it wasn't necessary, he hoped not to start a full-scale war with the goblins, but the mysterious man's actions clearly disrupted order and provoked trouble.

The world of adults still affects the world of children, but the people in the center of the storm are calmer than outsiders.

After waiting for about another half an hour, and it was estimated that James would not come, Sirius took out a piece of yellowed parchment from his school bag.He spread it out and placed it on the desk in the lecture theater.

"What's this for?" Pomona asked inexplicably.

"Just watch." Sirius said as he wiped the parchment with an eraser.

Many people should have seen that a car that has been parked outdoors for many days, or it has been placed in a corner for many years, looks old and yellow due to the accumulation of dust.

Some people may not be able to bear it, stretch out their fingers and swipe across the car, even if there is no ink, they can still write.

The eraser wiped the dust off the parchment, leaving behind the English spelling of Hogwarts.

"Too smart!" Pomona couldn't help but admire.

"You understand?" Sirius asked with a smile.

Pomona found a sheet of music, turned it over, and then waved his magic wand. In the sun, dust like gold sand fell on the snow-white sheet of music, forming a line of words.

"Poudlard? Pork fat?" Sirius said, looking at the line.

"No, it's also Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Witchcraft and Witchcraft and Wizardry, in French," Pomona said.

"Why do the French fight so hard?" Sirius frowned.

"The wild boar was a sacred animal in the 10th century. Do you know Finn in Celtic mythology?"

Sirius shook his head, and Pomona had to tell him the fairy tale.

"Druids believe that wild boars represent strength, and there are wild boars at the gate of Hogwarts School, so poudlard represents abundance and strength."

"Like the old slug?" Sirius said contemptuously.

Pomona was a little annoyed, but it has to be said that a shapely and fit person is indeed more pleasing to the eye.

Sirius took a breath, blowing away the eraser crumbs on the old parchment and the words on the score, the dust turned into dust again, and the words on the parchment "disappeared without a trace".

She couldn't help staring at Sirius in a daze.

His eyelashes were so long that the sun cast shadows on them, making his gray eyes even darker.

"We have ink now," Sirius said. "I can map the castle with it, but I can't get it to show people's names."

"Didn't I tell you, just throw people's names into the Goblet of Fire," said Pomona.

"But I don't understand why the Goblet of Fire has such a deep connection with the castle." Sirius said.

"Do you remember the biting kale at the nursery?" Pomona asked.

"Oh." Sirius grumbled.

Pomona smiled triumphantly.

That day James and Sirius, the two pampered young masters, were chased and bitten by the biting cabbage. Of course, they didn't study anything, but fell down in disgrace.

It happened to be Slytherin's Care of Fantastic Beasts class that day, and she hoped Severus would calm down a little when he saw it.

A red mineral powder called miltos is mentioned in the works of the ancient Greek botanist Theophrastus.Unlike other types of minerals, miltos can only be found and mined in a handful of places in the ancient Greco-Roman world.A Greek inscription from 360 BC stipulated that miltos could only be exported to Athens because of its value not only for decoration but also for ship maintenance.

These are translated by muggle scholars, the high lead content means that the powder, once mixed into an organic medium, forms a very effective anti-fouling agent, preventing the growth of bacterial colonies on the hull, which in turn provides protection for barnacles etc. Large populations of organisms provide the substrate.

In alchemy, the representative element of Saturn is lead, and it is named after Saturnus, the god of agriculture.

On farms, people use miltos mixed with asphalt to prevent plant diseases, or applied directly to tree roots to treat diseases and wounds.

"Plants will absorb the elements in the soil and turn them into organic matter. Have you ever wondered why the elements in the human body are the same as those outside, but the outside substances cannot become human bodies?" Pomona said.

Sirius thought.

"What about you, Peter?" Pomona asked.

Peter cringed at Sirius, as if wishing Pomona would ask him, not himself.

"ashes to ashes, and dust to dust, you were born from the dust, you are dust, and you will return to dust." Pomona sighed, "do you know what I mean?"

Sirius didn't answer, Pomona patiently let him think for himself, but she was also ignorant.

Assuming that the time of life has been arranged, Dimove suffers from narcolepsy at the age of 87, and he finds that he needs to sleep 1/4 hour more than the previous day every day, then the sleep time of each day will constitute an arithmetic progression, When this arithmetic progression reached 24 hours, Demofor fell into a long sleep.

From this, he predicted his own death date, which coincided with his actual death date, as if he had set the alarm clock and counted down.

She shouldn't be so sleepy, but she still feels tired.

"Knox," Sirius said.

"What?" Pomona asked.

"I thought of using dust to make ink when I saw those relics." Sirius said, "Perhaps you are right, the Goblet of Fire has a deep connection with this school."

"One more thing," Pomona said with a smile. "Have you ever read the Pen of Acceptance and the Book of Admission? That book has the names of all the wizards and wizards in England, deceased and not yet enrolled. "

"What about the foreign ones?" Sirius asked.

"How would I know?" She shrugged.

Sirius fell into thought again.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Pomona looked at Sirius again, his face was as white as marble without freckles.

God really blessed him, not only with a beautiful appearance, prominent family affairs, but also a smart mind.

Who would a man like him marry?

Then she remembered that Sirius' parents were cousins ​​married, Bella was married, Narcissa Black was dating Lucius Malfoy, so there was only...

"Have you ever been to Northern Europe?" Sirius asked.

"No." Pomona shook her head.

"How about we go to Norway this summer?"

She shook her head again. Although she was dressed like a student, she was not a real student after all. She had other things to do during the summer vacation.

"That's a pity." Sirius said coldly, then put away the yellowed parchment and left the music classroom.
