Harry Potter Morning Light

Chapter 3498: Terrifying Sound (VI)

In fact, both psyllids and fairy eggs are food for Bowtruckles, but relatively speaking, Bowtruckles prefer fairy eggs more.

For some unknown reason, there were a lot of fairy eggs this year, and the bowtruckles went to eat the fairy eggs, which led to an infestation of psyllids.

"The hairy crab shells you asked for," Pomona said, placing a large basket of crab shells collected from the greenhouse in Jiger's office.

"Thank you," said Jig cheerfully, putting down his quill and coming over to examine the empty shells.

"Do you think it's all right?" Pomona asked.

"It should be about time. I heard that you set up a horned beast protection area." Jiger asked.

"It's not us, it was formed by a student who just graduated." Pomona said quickly.

"I also need some horn powder. Can you get me some?"

As soon as Jig finished speaking, there was a heavy sound of footsteps outside the door, and soon Hagrid appeared, holding a large basket of fire tree bush seeds.

"Have you seen enough of this, Professor?" said Hagrid in a muffled voice.

"Thank you, please bring them in," said Jiger.

Hagrid bent over and "slipped" in through the classroom door, then put the basket of fire bushes in a corner.

"Thank you for helping me. I have a gift for you." Jiger said, taking out a cage from under the desk.

"You're welcome, Professor. Serving Hogwarts is what we do..."

Hagrid's words were suddenly interrupted before he finished speaking. Jigg pulled open the cloth on the cage, revealing several jeweled fire crabs.

"I remember that exporting fire crabs requires a special license." Pomona said in amazement as she looked at the fire crabs. No wonder they were protected. There were turtles with jewels inlaid on their shells in the pet shop in Diagon Alley, but they were still pale in comparison to the fire crabs.

Hagrid's eyes widened when he saw that it couldn't speak at all. When Jigg handed the cage to Hagrid, he took it subconsciously.

"I believe it will be well protected here too, right?" Giger asked with a smile.

"Thank you, Professor. I will take good care of them." Hagrid said excitedly. Pomona thought he looked like a groom who had just taken over the bride's hands and promised his father-in-law, "They will live happily here. I mean..."

"Well, Hagrid, I believe you will treat them well." Jig interrupted Hagrid's chattering, "You can go and get busy first."

Hagrid left the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom as happily as a child, carrying the fire crab he had just obtained.

Pomona looked at Jiger.

"Do you have any questions, Professor?" Jiger asked.

"These fire crabs didn't just appear by chance, did they?" Pomona asked.

"I think it will make up for him, because we're going to have to kill off a lot of his friends," Jigg said. "There are a lot of eight-eyed spiders in the Forbidden Forest."

Pomona felt it was a pity, it would be better if Jiger could stay in the school for a long time instead of being a professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts.

What's even more unfortunate is that he actually likes the Gray Lady. His shop in Diagon Alley is actually quite big, but now there is no one to inherit it.

"Do you have any questions?" Jiger asked.

There were too many, but Pomona just smiled "How can I assist you, Professor?"

"I heard there's a story about the Horned Beast." Jigg looked into Pomona's eyes. "There's a young man named Barnaby Lee who uses black magic."

"He stopped the horned beasts and trolls from attacking the village," Pomona said.

"So you think black magic can do good if used correctly?" Jig asked.

She felt that she was going to be taught a lesson, so she kept quiet.

"Black magic is based on negative emotions, and it can devour a pure heart." Jiger said softly, "Maybe you can't feel it at first, it's just a small bite, but the venom will soon flow throughout your body."

"As long as the dose is not enough, there will be no poison, right?" Pomona retorted. "As Paracelsus said."

"You know, Hagrid meant well when he wanted to find a companion for his eight-eyed spider," said Jigg. "Worry about your 'good intentions', witch."

She felt very angry and said in an aggressive tone: "You should be more grateful for other people's 'kindness'."

Jiger didn't scold her.

"I'll be busy first." Pomona said resistively, turned around and left the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom.

On her way to the greenhouse, she encounters several ghosts and tries to find the Gray Lady inside, but they quickly disappear into the wall.

At this point, she began to recall when she was bitten for the first time and why she couldn't get rid of it.

This poison seeps into the bones and blood. Normally, it's no big deal, but when it attacks, the heart will beat rapidly, breathing will become difficult, and there will be dizziness, as if you will lose your life in the next second.

The oleander dancing in the wind finally dropped a pink flower into the clear glacial water of Lake Como, and it flowed away with the waves.

In fact, the flowers and honey of elderberry are edible and have a refreshing effect. On the contrary, oleander, a common garden ornamental plant, is closer to death than it.

Jigg did not believe that the wand in Dumbledore's hand was the real Elder Wand, because "for some reason", Pomona did not have a good relationship with him, and he preferred the stuttering and studious Quirrell.

After Snape went to Scandinavia, he did not lose contact with Zigg and they continued to use the international Owl communication service, which cost a considerable amount of money.

Although Zigg made it difficult for Snape to get those hard-to-find potion materials, it also allowed him to connect with these medicinal material suppliers, rather than being limited to the output of Pomona's "Everyday Garden".

The collection in his private potion storage room is growing, even including African bark and bicorn horn, materials that are difficult to obtain not only in Diagon Alley, but even in the UK.

Polyjuice Potion is actually a replica of human transformation. As a natural Animagus, Tonks can transform into anyone, but Tonks is not very good at learning potions.

Tonks was only 25 when she died, and Lily was 21, the same age as Remus.

If Snape and Wormtail had died at that time, their whole group would have been gone.

Georgiana drank a glass of brandy as a cheering agent.

Tonks knew that Remus had liked Lily, but because Remus chose to be honest with her, Tonks still stayed with Remus after learning the whole story from Pomona.

Hermione didn't just hear about it, she saw Ron and Lavender Brown together with her own eyes.

Like most girls, Pomona originally disagreed with some of Lavender's behavior.

She is just an ordinary person, but she dreams of...

She put down the cup, changed her clothes into a conservative swimsuit, and jumped into Lake Como.

The cool lake water was very comfortable, and the lake bottom was also very clean, with only some water plants. Occasionally she would see marble sculptures sunk to the bottom of the lake. They were hidden among the water plants, and there were no ruins like at the bottom of the black lake.

There is no lounge with windows that are never opened here, so it is quiet.

After a while, she felt something chasing her from behind. When she turned around, she found it was a French soldier. He stretched out his hand as if to grab her.

She was so scared that she swam faster.

The gorgeous military uniform was too heavy to wear, so he took it off.

After swimming for a while, she surfaced, and the man also surfaced.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here to save you!" said the Frenchman, splashing in the water.

"Can't you see I can swim!" she yelled at him.

He froze.

Georgiana was no longer in the mood to swim. After figuring out the direction, she swam towards the shore.
