Harry Potter Morning Light

There is a phenomenon called mimicry in nature, which refers to the fact that the shape, color or markings of some animals are very similar to another, so as to deceive the enemy and protect itself. For example, the Chinese coral snake is highly poisonous, and its mimicry The multi-banded king snake is completely non-venomous, and they are very similar in appearance. Originally, bright colors are the warning colors of coral snakes. The multi-banded king snake avoids harm by imitating the bright colors of coral snakes.

Mimicry includes three parties: the imitator, the imitated, and the deceived. The deceived can be either a predator or a prey. Among the magic plants there is a delphinium, which is a mimic of the devil's web. The devil's net has two forms. In a semi-dark environment, it will disguise itself as a crab claw, and in a dark and humid environment, it will change back to the form of a vine. Light and warmth are its natural enemies, and it will actively stretch out Snake-like tendrils entwine those who approach it, causing casualties.

There are probably two ways to deal with it, one is incendio, this fire magic can be learned in the fourth grade, although the devil's net is powerful, it is resistant to many spells, but as long as it finds its weakness a little The wizard can handle it, and the harder it struggles, the tighter it becomes.

The other is the high-level lighting spell Lumos Solem. This spell is taught by Felicity's Charms in the seventh grade. It cannot be repelled with a lighting spell of the fluorescent flash level.

Hermione had mastered it in her first year, and despite being a Muggleborn and having no special "talents", she was still an excellent witch.

In contrast, Neville... Pomona sighed, even how he got to Scamander's house needs her to worry about, especially since Neville is not a student of her own college, Minerva herself Don't pay attention, why doesn't she care about Cedric from her own academy? He is also about to enter the seventh grade, and will soon face the double pressure of graduation and employment.

This summer vacation is the busiest summer vacation she has ever had, especially when she thinks that she will be so busy after school starts, she is even more upset. And it was all Fudge's fault, not just for the Quidditch World Cup, but for the Triwizard Tournament.

Days pass like a holiday, and soon people will forget about Sirius Black's escape from Azkaban and the impact the Dementors have had on their lives. If the Minister of Magic had been elected by ballot, Pomona would never have voted for him.

After arriving at Graplan's office, she knocked on the door as usual and entered, but Graplan was not at her desk.

"Wilmina?" she called.

"Here!"

She walked over following the sound, and found that Graplan was treating a pony in the medical room. Centaurs would not rest in bed like humans. Graplan had spread thick herbs in the treatment room, and the pony's mother He was lying on the haystack.

"What's the matter?" Pomona asked.

"I was bitten by an eight-eyed spider, but luckily it was delivered in time," Graplan said.

Pomona looked at the dying pony. The centaur's skin was different from that of a human. It was not so much pale as gray, a kind of gray of death.

Graplan said something in centaur to the centaur mother, and then left the treatment room.

"What's the matter with you, Dean?"

"I want some blue jays, and Sybil will use them for bird divination."

"Go catch it yourself, and remember to close the door." Graplan said, returning to the treatment room.

Pomona took one look at them and stepped into the cage in the tropics.

The blue jay and the soundless bird are very similar, the difference is that the blue jay is a chattering bird, while the soundless bird will only make all the sounds it hears before dying, and remain silent for the rest of the time.

In this era when everyone is vying for the right to speak, a soundless bird who cannot speak for itself will definitely live a miserable life. And the magic materials for making Veritaserum, especially the feathers of the sound bird, need a certain quality, and it is hard to find them in the natural world except in areas where animals live.

Pomona caught a few blue jays with a summoning spell, and after making sure that Graplan wasn't paying attention, she quickly walked to the next door. The bushes with delphiniums below were the habitat of the soundbirds.

The delphiniums are protected from harm by imitating the devil's net in the dark vine state, and the sound birds hide in the canopy above the delphiniums. They are quiet and quiet, even if they have bright feathers, it is difficult to hide in the nest Discover.

Pomona stepped directly on the vines of the delphinium, approached and grabbed a soundless bird, and put it in the cage.

Then without saying hello to Graplan, she left the "cage" with the cage full of blue jays.

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

At the end of the 18th century and the beginning of the 19th century, there was no electric light, but even though the light was not bright enough for Georgiana to see clearly at the beginning, now that she got closer, she realized that this Lila Brick looked like Sirius Black, but he Pale skin, not as healthy as Sirius.

Even Sirius, who had turned pale after returning from Azkaban, was not the same as Brick, when he had sunken eyes and a thin body.

She quickly remembered the Black family tapestry, the earliest of the Blacks, Lyculus born in 1808, and if Lyra Brik was his ancestor, then...

"What are you thinking?" Brick asked with a smile.

"Are you married?" Georgiana asked.

"No." Brick still said with a smile, "and I'm not engaged to anyone either."

He obviously misunderstood, but she continued to ask "Why did you get Lyra, the name Lyra is more suitable for girls."

"If it's a boy, what would you name it?" He followed her.

She became more and more sure that this person was not Sirius, and Sirius would not be so glib.

"What kind of magic do you have? Why do you look like a shadow?"

"I was trapped, no one could see me, and they either thought I was a shadow or a ghost," Brick said. "But if I was in color, people would think I was an animated mural."

"Those blood..."

"It's a tonic. I've been stuck in it for a year," Brick said. "Thank you for saving my life."

She immediately thought of the Philosopher's Stone. Apart from turning stones into gold, that red stone can also make you immortal. The way to take it is to melt it with "water" and then drink it.

But she didn't know how to refine the Philosopher's Stone, and she just left her lip print on the handkerchief and threw it on the ground.

"That thestral..."

"You should focus on dancing and look around," Brick said as he led her in circles.

She looked at the onlookers around her, the well-dressed guests who were no different from the Yule Ball, the Severus nomination celebration ball, or what girl wouldn't want to dance with Sirius Black?

If the Triwizard Tournament had been held in their time, Sirius might have been one of the contestants, so... her dream would come true.

Pomona had thought that Ginny had accepted Neville's invitation because she wanted to attend the Yule Ball, but she was not old enough.

Tonks said she liked Harry, but she thought it was impossible for Harry to like her or invite her, and Harry liked Cho Chang at the time, but the girl he wanted to invite the most was invited away by Cedric So he and Ron had to invite the Pelty sisters to "work together".

Nash also used an example to explain game theory. If everyone invites the most beautiful girl at the ball, her female companions will not be willing to become "substitutes". Boys invite them again, and they will not agree. .

If everyone gave up the most beautiful girl at first and invited her female companions instead, then everyone would have a dance to dance, but the most beautiful girl would be alone.

There was always a lucky guy who could invite her, so everyone wanted to be that "lucky guy", even Ron wanted to see if he could invite Fleur Delacour.

Although Harry and Ron went to the prom with the beautiful school girl, they had their own reasons, the fire in their hearts didn't burn, and the four of them didn't enjoy the prom.

It was Hermione instead, dancing with Victor Coolum, her shaggy curls that she forgot to do because she was too busy with her studies to be smoothed that night, and it was amazing when she came down the marble steps. stunning.

Pomona envied her, although Hermione had no idea the old Headmaster had looked at her that way.

Pomona obviously gave Severus three chances to invite her to dance, but he always thought of some weird reasons, even saying "don't be so wasteful", why couldn't he ask Brick so directly?

Everyone has regrets in their hearts. Some people regret that they didn’t wear the cardinal’s robe, and some people regret that they didn’t invite the dance partner they wanted to invite to a ball. These regrets appear in our hearts from time to time, even after death. It's hard to let go.

Spinning, spinning, she couldn't tell whether she was in the Hogwarts auditorium or the castle, whether she was in a dream or fantasy.

Would it have changed if it had been Sirius who had knocked on her door that night?

Maybe Albus was right, even the purest of hearts can be seduced by darkness, and she wasn't very pure in the first place.

Although Sirius' surname is Black, he is the brightest star in the night.

If this is your regret, now that you are satisfied, should you really go, Sirius?

After all, darkness and hell are not where you belong, you belong to the light, and heaven is where you should go.
