Harry Potter’s Morning Light

   Chapter 2546 Smoke and Mirror (Twelve)

  Romania's dragon reserve has many spells, but unlike unicorns and mermen, dragons don't like to stay in "the area available to them". Dragons are always on the lookout for opportunities, ready to cross the boundaries of the reserve to go out in search of prey.

   In some cases, the spells would fail because the magic of the animals themselves would break them, like a fish tearing a net. Fire dragons are ineffective with normal magic, even some enhanced magic, so these animals are classified as five-star dangerous creatures by the magic department.

   But the situation of werewolves is different. They have a certain magic resistance attribute, but they can't resist the fire, and the damage caused by the fire on the fire dragon may only make them break their skins.

   The dragon leather gloves, leather boots and other items currently on the market are collected after the death of the dragon. In the past, this "job" belonged to the eight-eyed spider.

   It is precisely because dragons are difficult to deal with that people feel comfortable keeping their money in Gringotts, because there is a dragon guarding in the depths of Gringotts.

   Of course, there are other defensive magics besides dragons.

  Pomona withdrew his hand from the edge of a golden cup and turned to look at the old wizard with white hair and beard.

   "How do you feel?" Albus asked softly.

   "It's hot," she said in surprise. "It's like a copper cauldron just taken from the fire."

   "It's a curse." Albus said in a hoarse voice. "The goblins will add this while using the copy curse, so that thieves who break into their vaults are overwhelmed with hot wealth."

   "Oh~" She took a step back, "I touched it just now, why didn't I copy it?"

   "Do you really want my office to be flooded with a copy of it?" Albus said with a smile, "I think it's the heat flow that made you deformed today and made the Potion Decoction ineffective."

   "I heard werewolves were cursed," Pomona said.

"This was just a statement before, not to mention that no one has successfully retrieved the memory of the werewolf's transformation." Albus looked at the Pensieve thoughtfully. "Obviously, Severus' potion is not only to let Lai Muss just stayed awake after being wolfed."

   "This is a huge discovery!" Pomona said immediately. "Why are the judges so unreasonable."

  Albus looked at her through the half-moon glasses.

"If you want to prove efficacy, you must provide evidence, otherwise anyone can claim that their magic potion is amazing. I remember that Professor Rohart invented a bird snake egg yolk hair treatment before. It is really effective, but the cost is too high ."

   "Wolf's Venom is not a smoothing agent," Pomona exclaimed.

   "The main users of the wolf poison potion are werewolves. I think you know the current survival of werewolves, and how difficult it is to manage werewolves. Newt tried to establish a werewolf registry, but there was no werewolves to register."

  Pomona didn’t say anything about asking Remus to register, just like Minerva became a registered Animagus, his identity being public and his registration are two different things.

   "You didn't come to me just for that, did you?" Albus asked.

   She paused.

   "Severus hopes that Remus can testify to prove the efficacy of the wolf's poison potion, and in exchange, he will provide Remus with the potion for free in the future."

  Albus was lost in thought.

   "I think we have to learn to tolerate people whose values ​​are different from ours," Dumbledore said.

   "Not because he made a deal with you?" Pomona asked.

"Minerva once asked me what I could learn from Professor Rohart, and I told her the answer was, 'You can learn what not to do and what not to do from a bad teacher Man', but today I'm going to give you a different answer." Albus held Pomona's nearly scalded hand, "Tell me, why do you tolerate his addiction to dark magic?"

"The world is dangerous. If humans don't have the power to defeat dragons, they will be eaten by them. Do you think dragons will set up protected areas for humans?" Pomona said, "Also, you should tell me the answer, why is it instead? Ask me questions."

   "Do you think Severus is a bad teacher?" Albus asked.

   Pomona was shocked.

"It's always necessary to use the right name for things. The more we can't call the mysterious man, the more we will strengthen the fear of him. The same is true when we define Rohart as a bad teacher. You don't think there is anything to learn from him. of?"

   "He knew what he wanted," Pomona said.

   "Then do you know what you want?" Albus asked.

   She retracted her hand subconsciously, as if afraid that Albus would touch her pulse.

   "Do you think Lockhart is handsome?" Albus asked suddenly.

   "What?" she exclaimed.

   "Many witches think he's handsome," said Albus madly.

   It is undeniable that Rohart is good-looking and flashy is one of his few strengths, but... Sirius said she was a bad narrator, and she admitted that she really couldn't find any wonderful words to explain it.

   "That's because he's full of confidence. When he's timid, he looks withered." Albus said, "Where do you think his confidence came from?"

  Pomona almost laughed.

   "His 'achievement'," Pomona said with a suppressed smile.

"I think we're going to see a different Severus, and if he succeeds, it opens up a new path not just for him personally, but for everyone," Albus whispered. On the road, there will always be some sacrifices that cannot be avoided.”

   But she didn't want Remus, because he didn't want to hurt anyone.

   However, the feeling of hunger is not something you can endure for a while.

   "Thank you, Albus," Pomona said, and prepared to leave.

   "Is it because there are too few young people in contact?" Albus said suddenly.

  Pomona looked back, just in line with Albus's eyes.

   She ran away before she could even say "I don't know what you're talking about".

   She thought in horror as she trotted down the school corridor, could he possibly know? No, he couldn't possibly know, by the way, where is the Mirror of Erised?

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

  If one day, she died and her soul left her body, what would she look like?

   Is it beautiful as a mixed veela, or is it chunky and flattering?

   She remembered that it used to be in an empty classroom on the fifth floor, but it moved away and was hidden somewhere in that castle full of secrets.

  Albus moved it away of course not because of Harry, Harry was not immersed in the hallucinations created by the Mirror of Erised, but she herself was more easily lost.

   She put down her quill and sighed, even as handsome as Tom Riddle, she turned into a snake-faced monster in the end.

   Except Bella, who is still infatuated and crazy with him as always, everyone else has changed somewhat. After all, people will still distinguish things based on their shape. No one will look at an apple and insist that it is a pear, or if it is a deer, it must be said that it is a horse.

  For most people, the body is an external, formed thing, but some people have such a powerful imagination that they imagine that they are a dog, and they are really a dog.

   The key to the problem is to change from dog to human. There are many wizards who illegally try Animagos living in St. Mungo's Hospital, and they are all stuck here.

  Severus could remember spells in first grade that he couldn't remember in seventh grade, and he also had a talent for potions, but given him another twenty years, he wouldn't be able to learn Animagus.

  Who made him so stubborn, even Albus Dumbledore, who was good at "guiding", couldn't help him.

   "Mirror, mirror, on the wall."

   She imitated Snow White's stepmother to recite the spell, but there is no magic mirror here to tell her "You are the most beautiful woman in the world", even if it is a lie, she wants to hear it.
