Harry Potter Morning Light

"Minerva!"

Pomona stopped Professor McGonagall who had just passed through the hall and was walking towards his office.

"Oh, Pomona, what's the matter?" Minerva smiled friendly.

"I heard that since Sirius Black attacked the Gryffindor lounge, you kept others from telling Neville Longbottom the password to the lounge, right?" she asked seriously.

Minerva suppressed her smile and folded her hands on her stomach.

"Yes." McGonagall said in an arrogant tone.

"Just because he made a mistake once?" Pomona asked.

"It's not the first time that Mr. Longbottom has forgotten his password, and I think he will do it again in the future. I can't put the whole college at risk." Professor McGonagall said, "not to mention that I heard he found himself a comfortable place."

"How long does that go? Until he graduates?" Pomona asked.

Minerva held up the hem of her robe and walked up the marble staircase, clearly not wanting to answer the question.

"At least give him a chance." Pomona said to Minerva's back, "Maybe he'll remember it already."

"I hope you can spend the same energy on your own students. Although not assigning homework can make you popular with students, it is not good for teaching." Minerva said tit-for-tat, then climbed up the stairs, and finally disappeared in the The corner of the stairs.

Pomona pursed her lips and shook her head, then continued to search in the castle. She went to the greenhouse, the tower where Divination is located, quarreled with Sybil, the foyer, quarreled with Minerva, the auditorium, the kitchen, both Harry Potter and Neville Longbottom disappeared. .

Harry Potter is very likely to go to Hogsmeade, this is easier to guess, what about Neville?

Just as she was about to leave the castle and go to the dock to have a look, Nick, who was almost headless, floated over.

"Hello," Nick said to Pomona politely.

"Nick, have you seen Neville Longbottom?" Pomona called.

"Yes," Nick said, "I saw him go to the owl shack."

"Thank you, Nick!"

Nick nodded to her, and continued wandering the castle.

Pomona hurried to the owl hut, and when he got there, he found Neville sitting on the steps of the hut entrance in a daze. When he heard Pomona's footsteps, he raised his head subconsciously.

She went into the smelly shed and sat down on the steps beside Neville when she noticed he was holding a red Howler letter in his hand.

"My grandma gave it to me," said Neville tremblingly, "She wrote this letter when she heard I lost my password and let Sirius Black break into the common room, and she said I'd disgraced the family. "

Pomona didn't speak, Neville rubbed his nose, "Why is it so difficult for me that is easy for others?"

"Why don't you go to Hogsmeade?" asked Pomona.

Neville looked at her in surprise and guilt.

"We see what you mean, Professor Snape is looking for Harry Potter," Pomona said calmly.

"I don't want to..."

"Sell 'brother'." Pomona said with a smile. "For Mr. Potter, it is not a good time to go to Hogsmeade, even if he has a guardian's signature."

Neville gasped, and after a moment said, "Did I do something wrong, Professor."

Pomona didn't answer.

"I just want to stop them before something worse happens," Neville said gruffly.

"Even if you were telling the story in front of Professor Snape?" Pomona asked. "Were you still afraid of him?"

Neville shook his head, looking at the Howler letter in his hand.

Pomona looked at Neville's second "Boggart", and putting Augusta Longbottom in Snape's robes wasn't going to help Neville in any way over his fear.

"How about you not coming home this summer?" Pomona asked.

"Really?" Neville asked expectantly.

"I'll find a place, don't forget you promised to help me, or do you prefer to go to the Quidditch World Cup?"

"I don't like Quidditch that much." Neville said with lingering fear, "I was hung on the sculpture outside the castle in the first class."

"I'll give you a task." Pomona smirked, looking at Neville mysteriously.

"What mission?"

"Go to Scamander and get my turtle back."

"turtle?"

"...It used to be my pet, and it was protected by Scamander."

"Why does he think it needs protection so much?" Neville asked in surprise.

"All in all, this is your 'summer homework.'"

"Homework?" Neville looked at Pomona even more surprised.

Homework is not only painful to do homework, but even more painful to correct homework. Why create it to torture each other?

"Next time, I hope you can say it directly, like a man." Pomona stood up, looking down at Neville, "You did a good job in your first year, and Dumbledore gave you 30 points, Remember?"

Neville looked at her stupidly, and Pomona smiled at him and left the owl shack.

"Oh, that's right!" She looked back at Neville after walking halfway. "If you really don't want to go to Hogsmeade, go back to the common room early and don't hang around."

Then she strode towards the castle and continued her search for Harry Potter.

At this time, she felt that Harry wearing glasses looked like a Muggle cartoon character wearing a red and white striped T-shirt. There was a game named after him, and players had to find him among a lot of complicated pictures.

She searched all afternoon in this mood, and by the way, she listed the places in the castle that needed to be repaired, so that they could be repaired during the summer vacation. But the other two "players" were not in such a good mood. Snape seemed to be emitting dark smoke all over his body, and he was not old enough to go to Hogsmeade's first and second years to see him and almost cried.

Finally, when the sun was about to set, people who went to Hogsmeade came back one after another, and Pomona went to the secret passage behind the one-eyed witch, which is the favorite of children.

She found an empty classroom to hide, then took out the bloody lollipops she bought at Honeydukes, and changed into a chair to sit on.

Not long after, Sirius' disguised stray dog ​​also came in following her scent. He searched everywhere in the secret passage, which was full of cobwebs and dust, making him even dirtier.

"Want to eat?" When Sirius returned to his human form, Pomona grabbed a handful of colorful candies and placed them in front of his eyes.

"How about popcorn instead?" Sirius asked.

"Eating popcorn makes noise, shh..." She heard movement from the one-eyed witch sculpture, and after a while, Harry Potter came out, looking very happy.

She glanced at Sirius, his face was full of ecstasy, as if he wanted to rush out immediately.

At this moment, there was a sound of hurried footsteps at the end of the corridor, and Harry was a little panicked. He hurriedly restored the secret passage to its original state, and it was just completed when Snape appeared.

"What a thrill." She took a sip of the lollipop and said calmly.

"Mr Potter." A sinister smile formed on Snape's thin lips. "Where were you?"

"Always in Gryffindor Tower," said Harry immediately.

"Who can testify against you?"

Harry didn't answer, as if he was wondering who could testify against him at the risk.

Snape went on.

"Look, everyone in the Ministry of Magic is trying to increase the safety of the school for the great savior from being attacked by Sirius Black, while he himself, just wants to go his own way and make ordinary people worry about him! The famous 'Boy Who Lived' 'Going wherever he wants, with complete disregard for the consequences, is it because he thinks he's different, the 'chosen one'?"

"I didn't!" Harry exclaimed.

"You're just like your father, Potter," said Snape.

"That's right." Sirius was behind the door, looking out through the crack of the door, and Pomona carefully observed his expression, as if Sirius couldn't tell who was in front of him.

"Proud, pompous, always pompous," Snape said.

"My father wasn't haughty, and neither am I!" Harry blurted out. "Shut up, Snape!"

There was a dangerous gleam in Snape's dark eyes.

"What did you say?"

"Don't say that about my dad!" Harry yelled "I know the truth, he saved your life!"

"What are you doing!" Pomona stopped Sirius who was about to rush out, "You promised me!"

Sirius hesitated, and the conversation outside continued.

"Who told you?" Snape asked stiffly.

"Dumbledore told me that if it wasn't for my father, you wouldn't be standing here!"

"So did the headmaster tell you under what circumstances he saved me?" Snape said softly and silkily, "Your father and his friends made a joke on me, if he didn't wake up at the last moment Come here, he will not be your hero, but a murderer like your godfather, maybe they can continue their jokes in Azkaban."

"And you're dead." Sirius whispered angrily, with a dog-like growl coming from his throat.

Snape probably heard the voice, he turned his head to look this way, and Pomona immediately pulled Sirius away from the door.

"Nothing he did was heroic," Snape went on. "Why didn't he talk back? Or was what I said just too cruel to your young ears?"

"Snape wasn't lecturing Harry," Sirius said to Pomona. "He was bullying Harry."

"So you're going to rush out now and bite Snape?"

She was meant to be sarcastic, but Sirius seemed to listen carefully.

"I can... take Harry out of here." Sirius said dreamily, "We are all free."

"No, Sirius, if you do this, you can only remain anonymous for the rest of your life. You tell me that when everything recovers, you will rebuild the Quidditch pitch and become the school director of Hogwarts." Pomonara Hold his hand and say "Are you going to get away from it all?"

Sirius' eyes were distracted, and Pomona used Legilimency on him. James, a student, appeared in his mind for a while, and Harry Potter, a 14-year-old, appeared in his mind for a while.

"James got you there, right?" Pomona asked Sirius. "In Azkaban?"

Sirius wept, resting his unkempt head on Pomona's shoulder.

"I killed him." Sirius whispered into Pomona's ear, "I killed him."

He pleaded guilty, which would have been enough for a sentence if it had been in court.

"You are... Harry's godfather." Pomona whispered in his ear, "When the parents are away, the godfather will act as guardian for them. Next year, if Harry wants to go to Hogsmeade, can you replace him?" James signed for him."

Sirius stopped crying.

"Cheer up, Sirius Black!" she said fiercely. "You have work to do!"

Pomona pushed him away "to be a bit grown up, learn to be a parent."

Sirius was silent.

"At least it's not you who came out to preach to Harry, leaving this disgusting thing to Snape, you can start by being friends with Harry."

"Why do you trust me, Pomona?" Sirius asked.

She didn't know how to answer this question.

"Harry!" said Neville's voice. "Have you been waiting for me long?"

Then there was a rush of footsteps, "Sorry, I'm late."

"What's going on?" Snape asked.

"Harry is going to tutor me for my exams," said Neville.

"Is that so?" Snape asked.

"Yes, Professor." Harry answered briefly.

"I don't see any need for your hopeless grades, Longbottom," said Snape.

Neville didn't reply, and after a moment of silence, she heard Snape's footsteps going away.

"Do you think he'll let us go?" Harry said jokingly after Snape was gone.

"No... actually it's because of me..."

"Harry!" Ron yelled. "I'm sorry, it's all because I encouraged you to go to Hogsmeade. The old bat didn't do anything to you, did it?"

"I'm fine," said Harry. "Goodbye, and thank you, Neville."

Then Ron and Harry left the floor where the secret passage was located, and it wasn't long before Neville left alone.

"As far as I remember, Longbottom's parents seem to be alive," Sirius said.

"Yeah, in St. Mungo's, they've been lying in hospital beds for more than ten years." Pomona sighed. "You go, Sirius, everyone is back, and Harry is safe."

"Maybe he and I will still have a chance to go to Hogsmeade together." Sirius said with a smile. "There's no rule against a guardian going with a child, is there?"

"That's it..."

"You can join us, Knox." Sirius said with a smile, opened the classroom door and ran out. By the time Pomona chased him to the door, he had already turned into a black dog and blended into the shadows.

==================================================== ==================

The 14th Duke of Alba is the grand-nephew of the 12th Duke of Alba. From the 15th century, the Duke of Alba’s surname was Toledo, but at the beginning of the 12th Duke of Alba, the surname became Silva. The Duke of Alba became Stuart.

The reason why Carlos, who was only ten years old, was selected from many collaterals is said to be because the 13th Duke of Alba is Carlos' godfather.

Of course, the 13th Duke of Alba was godfather to more than one person. In addition to the surname of Stuart, Carlos’ father also had the title of Duke of Berwick. This title belongs to the Scottish nobles. Originally, this title should have his brother. Inheritance, but his father and elder brother are dead, and the 8-year-old 14th Duke of Alba has the titles of Spanish nobleman and Scottish nobleman.

The "family" that Georgiana thought of had no male master, and the male who appeared next to that family was actually the guardian of the little duke.

A room full of orphans and widows, they can only be manipulated like chess pieces. But who is playing chess?

In fact, when she is worried about others, she should be more worried about herself. When a chess piece is "sacrificed", even the most powerful chess piece queen on the chessboard.

When the turtle that the teapot turned into stopped spinning, she floated it up again, turning from a turtle into a teapot.

It is said that at the signing of the Treaty of Campo Formio, Napoleon dropped Count Cobenz a teapot, which was given to him by Queen Catherine.

With a bang, the teapot shattered.

She didn't know if it was broken by her just now, or because of other reasons. After all, she is at this age, so it is impossible for her to have the same magic power riot as a teenager.
