Harry Potter Morning Light

Chapter 2868 The Unforgivable Secret ([-])
In 1875, the Ministry of Magic promulgated the "Restrictions on the Use of Magic by Minors", prohibiting underage wizards from using magic outside of school.

This made it difficult for many little wizards to accept, especially Zongsi, who was simply annoying.

But on the other hand, traces can be used to track the location of minors very well. Anyway, Pomona and Severus Apparated in the Forbidden Forest, not the market place in Ken Bridge .

"Why am I not surprised at all?" Pomona said, taking out her wand.

Severus walked straight towards the ruins in the forest.

As they approached the ruins, bursts of heartbeat-like strong magic waves hit her face, and she felt extremely uncomfortable.

"What's wrong?" Severus asked, stopping in his tracks.

"It's nothing." She said softly, barely holding back the discomfort.

It reminded her of Lupine's days at school, when there was a full moon, and today was not a full moon.

"You'd better tell me straight up that this is no joke," Severus said.

"Pulse, it looks like Paul told them some secret again," Pomona said.

"No, I didn't." Paul's voice suddenly sounded.

Pomona looked around.

"I'm here~"

Pomona looked into Severus' pocket.

Impatiently, he cast the Levitation Charm, causing the court puppet to float out of his pocket.

"Why are you here?" Pomona asked.

"You all go out and don't take me, I'm so boring." Paul said.

"So who told them about this place?" Pomona asked.

"These little trolls have something to hide from us," Severus said through gritted teeth.

"They seem to have found something interesting." Paul said excitedly, "Go and see."

"I'm personally more inclined to say they're in 'trouble,'" said Pomona, waving his wand, causing the trees in the forest to move out of the way.

Without the cover of these plants, the appearance of the ruins became clearer. However, when they walked into the ruins, they found that the ground was full of water.

In the center of this "lake" is an altar with a necklace on it, and several flame butterflies are flying around it.

"Any clues, Paul?" Severus asked.

"The centaur," said Pomona.

Severus looked at her in surprise.

"Dolan!" Pomona yelled into the woods.

Lin Zhong didn't respond at all.

"Can you explain that?" Severus asked.

"This is a gift from me to Dolan. It's your tuition." Pomona looked back at him. "The centaurs don't use violence in front of young people, even though they don't like humans very much."

"Professor!" She didn't hear Dolan's answer, but heard the students shouting, "Get us out!"

"What is the origin of this stone?" Severus asked.

"Get them out first," said Pomona, beginning to take a step.

"I wouldn't touch the water if I were you," Paul said.

"Then what to do?" Pomona retracted his leg.

"How about taking that stone away?" Paul said.

Severus cast a Summoning Charm on the stone, but it didn't respond, and then he cast Death Eater Fly, which easily removed the stone from the altar, and the butterflies and water , and that mysterious pulsation all disappeared.

After about a minute or two, Severus returned to the altar and stood on it, looking down at the back of the altar.

"Come on, it's safe," he said to the following.

After a while, Bill, Puglia, Ben Cooper, Leeds, Barnaby, and the twins all came out of it.

Pomona looked at his watch, and before he knew it, it was already this time, and Molly would die in a hurry.

"Okay, look who this is, isn't it our Master Cursebreaker? Is there still a place to trap you?" Severus said to Bill with a smile.

"Thank you for saving us." Bill said awkwardly. "I didn't expect this to happen."

"What's the matter?" Pomona asked. "How do you have Dolan's necklace?"

"He gave it to us," Puglia said. "He said it would lead us to our destiny."

"The centaurs always do that," said Leeds.

"What's in there?" Severus asked.

"A grave," Bill replied, "I don't think it belongs to modern people."

"Of course," Severus said.

"We found this," said Bill, taking a stone comb from his pocket.

It's so fine, it's not like something from the stone age, but it looks like it's taken from some statue.

"As an employee of the Ministry of Magic, why are you here, Miss Moore." Severus asked Puglia condescendingly.

"I'll see if I can help," Puglia said.

But Severus still looked down at her eeriely.

"Well, I'll try my luck and see if I can be transferred from the centaur's office." Puglia said helplessly.

"If you notice that there are two children here, if something happens to them, you will not only be transferred from the centaur office, but you will say goodbye to the job forever." Severus said in a cadenced tone.

Fred and George looked at each other "We are not children, we are explorers!"

"Well, explorers, it's time for us to go," Pomona told them from afar.

The expedition left dejectedly, but Severus did not. Pomona knew that with his curiosity, he would definitely explore this magical cemetery.

"Let's go first, Severus," Pomona yelled at him.

"I want to see it too." Paul said enthusiastically.

Pomona looks at Bill and Puglia "I'll go and see, if there's an accident..."

"Don't worry, as long as you don't put that stone on the altar, you'll be fine," Bill said.

Pomona was still worried, but she also ran to the altar.

Behind the altar was a deep hole, and Severus jumped into it first, but Pomona did not immediately follow.

"Come in," he said from inside the cave.

So Pomona jumped down too.

With the fluorescent flash of his wand, she saw the catacomb clearly. It was not big. Bill and the others searched every inch for getting out, including a secret room with a stone platform. sculpture.

Then she raised her magic wand and looked around. There were reliefs of mermaids everywhere on the wall. The sarcophagus of the owner of the tomb had been opened. His clothes had decayed, leaving only bones, but it could be seen that they were human bones. Not a mermaid.

"Mermaid," said Pomona.

"No, look carefully." Severus pointed his wand at the woman in the center of the relief. "She's feeding the fish."

Pomona also looked carefully. At first, the light was dim and she couldn't see clearly. She thought she saw a mermaid, but in fact it was a woman holding a bowl, and the fish surrounded her, as if waiting for her to throw the food in the bowl.

Then she looked at the tomb owner's coffin, which also had reliefs on it. A group of knights in full armor were holding shields, and they were round shields.

Roman soldiers often used round shields, especially after the 3rd century, but none of these reliefs are Roman.They still look quite primitive, more like they were left by the ancient Celts.

"This tomb existed before Hogwarts was built," Pomona said.

"Let's go," Severus said.

Pomona left right after him.

Before leaving, she closed the lid of the sarcophagus again, so that the dead would be buried in peace anyway.

Because of her bulkiness, she needed Severus' help to get out of the tomb, and she had a strange feeling when she stepped on the ground again, bathed in moonlight.

"What's wrong?" Severus asked her.

"Next time, remember to leave one person outside during the expedition." Pomona said, "Even if you can't solve the puzzle, you won't be trapped to death inside."

Then she went to the little trolls.

As for where Severus hid the stone, she didn't ask.

There are so many stones in the Forbidden Forest, who would investigate their history one by one?
