  Chapter 2721 Firebird Land (29)

   "Did you hear, Myrtle is crying again," Teresa Buttermere said to the rest of the Potions Club.

  Pomona poked her head out from behind the flowers.

  Even among those who like to spread news, Buttermere is a well-deserved "Queen", not to mention that now she has another identity.

She first learned how to brew butter beer. Many students wanted to drink it in school. Unfortunately, the Three Broomsticks did not provide owls and takeaway services. Although the butter beer brewed by Buttermere was slightly different from the one sold in Three Broomsticks, there were still some Many customers.

  Later, her business began to expand, and the medicines in the Potions Club became tradable, and other students could use other things to buy them from her.

   "This isn't news anymore." Zacharias laughed at Buttermere's fuss.

   "I mean it wasn't in the bathroom on the second floor, she floated somewhere else." Buttermer said, looking at Zacharias.

   "Isn't she imprisoned there?" Ernie McMillan said as he stirred the cauldron "because she made a scene at a classmate's wedding."

"It was a classmate's brother's wedding, so she was complained about, and then she was confined to Hogwarts," said Buttermere, "but that restriction was changed, and Myrtle could go anywhere she wanted along the tube. .”

   "Then continue to cry elsewhere." Zacharias said disdainfully.

   "No, not just crying, she seems to be talking to people." Buttermer said, "Do you think she is crazy?"

   "How can a ghost be crazy?" Justin asked.

   "She was talking to herself," Buttermer said.

   "Maybe she was really talking to people." Wayne Hopkins said.

   "Who will talk to Myrtle?" asked Buttermere.

  Pomona felt that this was a bit too much.

  Myrtle just likes a "warm body". During the Triwizard Tournament, she was very happy in the prefect bathroom. Who said she would continue to cry in another place.

  Pomona originally wanted to stop them from talking, but changed her mind temporarily. How would she explain to these children why Myrtle likes "warm bodies"?

   "Why didn't Neville come today?" Wayne Hopkins said.

   "What did you want him for?" Ernie asked.

   "I received an order, if he completed, I can get a Victor Klum autograph." Wayne Hopkins said.

   "What order?" Butter Millic asked.

   "Strong White Fresh," said Wayne Hopkins.

   "Didn't we extract some before?" Ernie said.

   "It's not our previous one. I heard that some special techniques are used." Wayne Hopkins said.

   "Do you think the dean is teaching Neville privately?" Zacharias said.

   "Why?" Ernie asked.

   "She has always taken care of him..."

   "What special craft?" asked Susan Burns who had been silent.

   "I don't know, I'm just in charge of the middle contact." Wayne Hopkins said, "Which one of you wants Victor Krum's signature?"

   "Don't you want it?" Ernie asked.

   "For the greater good." Wayne Hopkins said "That's the famous saying of Clum's alumni."

   "You can just say his name, he is not a mysterious person." Zacharias said impatiently.

   "I'm going to open a shop similar to Weasley's trick shop in the future, how about you?"

   Wayne Hopkins asked Buttermere.

   "Victor Krum and Hermione Granger dated, I heard they kissed." Buttermere said to the crowd.

  Everyone is not interested in this topic, and Rita Keyster's article is much more "exciting" than Buttermere said.

  Pomona also thought of another problem, so he left this greenhouse and walked towards the secret study room under Greenhouse No. 1.

   There is a secret passage leading to the Slytherin lounge, which was opened by Severus, and the secret study was dug by Pomona. Almost all the books stored here were cleared from "that room" and put back after Pomona was sure they were safe. Neville used that room as his secret base. He has often stayed in it since the fifth grade. When he is not going to the Room of Requirement to participate in DA training, he will stay in it, avoiding Draco Malfoy and the special search party.

  Draco Malfoy probably never dreamed that Neville would hide in the dungeon of Slytherin. Patricia Linnaeus, the treasure hunter who was never just a teacher during her tenure, discovered the ruins beneath the school when she was in Brazil.

  However, in the year she was a teacher, Hogwarts accidents continued one after another. Although she discovered the dungeon, she did not conduct a detailed search, and only drew a sketch. When everyone was fascinated by Fleur Delacour and the Yule Ball, a French witch named Audrey Dumont sneaked into the dungeon with it.

   Paracelsus is not only a well-known alchemist and doctor, but also a famous toxicologist. In his "Third Defense", he pointed out: All substances are poisonous, and there is no substance that is not toxic. The difference between a drug and a poison is the proper dosage.

The same is true of the Philosopher's Stone, which is considered the purest substance. When Nicolas soaked it in water, turned it into a potion of immortality and took it, he lost his strong body over the years. , The bones are so fragile that they can be broken when pinched.

  Although aconite can kill werewolves, if the dose is controlled properly, it can also become a wolf poison potion.

  From the very beginning, Audrey had no interest in the Triwizard Tournament, even though she and Fleur were recognized as Beauxbaton's best students. Does anyone remember that Furong brought a younger sister? Now that Fleur Delacour can bring it, so can Audrey Dumont. She never intended to cross the "age line" from the very beginning, although she has plenty of ways.

  She doesn't believe that the Philosopher's Stone was destroyed, even if it was destroyed, where is the cup for drinking medicine? Maybe just relying on the little potion left on the wall of the cup, she felt that she could recreate a new Philosopher's Stone.

  The haughty little witch was soon ridiculed by the youngest living potion master: "You can use the Scarpin Revealing Charm to see what's in it."

  Neville didn't know what the Scarpin Revealing Curse was, and he watched Snape and Miss Dumont "discuss" in a daze.

  Although Miss Dumont is only 16 years old, she already has a considerable knowledge, eclipsing even her older brother.

However, at this time, an accident happened. On the experimental table covered with cobwebs and dust, there was a transparent flask with runes scalded with gold powder. Pomona thought it was a special chemical device . No one noticed it at first, until it vibrated more and more, and no one noticed it.

   After coming out of the secret passage, Pomona came to the Slytherin common room, where the huge fireplace was still burning day and night. The winter sun does not penetrate the water of the Black Lake enough, and even with candles, the lounge would be dark without the big fireplace.

  Most of the students were warming themselves by the fireplace, whispering, plotting something. Pomona planned to enter the Hall of Hieroglyphs through another secret entrance before they found themselves.

   "What are you doing!"

   Just as she passed the entrance to the girls' dormitory, a Slytherin girl who was almost knocked over by her complained.

  Pomona had Confounded her before she could figure out who she was.

  How could the head of Hufflepuff be in the Slytherin common room? She must have read it wrong.

While the girl was in a daze for a while, Pomona walked down the stairs to the downstairs of the female prefect's room. There was a small pool under the stairs in the dormitory. There was a landscape painting on the wall, illuminated by the light of the torch up.

  It looks out of place with the gloomy preppy style, and the picture is full of sunshine. There are some architectural remains similar to underground ruins in the Black Lake. If you compare these Gothic wreckages with the landscape paintings on the wall, there are many similarities, as if the murals were painted before the buildings were destroyed and sank into the lake. look.

Pomona raised his wand and let the water from the pool pour into the mouth of the monster with its gaping mouth. It didn't take long for a puff of black smoke to emerge from its mouth, and then the landscape slowly disappeared, revealing a downward passage. .

   She dodged into it, lighting the stairs with fluorescent flashes to keep herself from stepping into the void, and before long she was in the Hall of Hieroglyphs, which used giant sculptures of Anubis as pillars.

  She didn't stop, she walked from the hall of hieroglyphs to the central corridor, and after walking up for a while, she came to a small room with lights on, and warm orange light came out from the crack in the door.

   "Neville!" said Pomona, opening the door.

   "Professor!" Neville, who was holding Mibu Mibao, looked at her in surprise, "Why are you here?"

   Mee Bu Mee Bo is rare, but its smell is too bad, but Pomona does not cover the nose.

   "I'll come and see you," she said, looking around "Where's Mr. Cassino?"

   "Maybe I'm attending a ghost party." Neville said, placing the potted plant on the cabinet next to a pair of dead bones.

  Professor Binns went to class one day and forgot to bring his own body, and became the ghost teacher of Hogwarts ever since.

  This Mr. Cassino used to be the Potions professor at Hogwarts. One day he and a colleague were doing experiments here, and then he was locked in a flask.

  He thought he had been imprisoned for a day or two, but in fact it was more than three hundred years. He no longer has a body, and can only move around Hogwarts in the form of a ghost.

  At that time, potions and herbs had not been completely separated, and the books in the room were all his. Pomona moved the books about herbs to the secret study under the greenhouse.

   "Do you know how Potassium is extracted?" Pomona asked Neville.

  The boy who couldn't even remember the password tilted his head and thought for a while, then said, "You can use salt water to extract it from the dried leaves, and the essence will lose less essence than directly extracting it from fresh leaves."

  Direct extraction is the method used by the Potions Club to obtain white fresh essence. The essence obtained in this way is very effective for treating simple wounds, but it is a little weak for black magic wounds.

   The fake moody doesn't teach the students anything at all, especially Neville's herbal medicine class, if it doesn't take into account that Barty Crouch Jr. was one of the tormentors of Neville's parents.

Then out of the corner of her eye she saw Dean Thomas's broomstick, easily recognizable, with Dean's initials on it, and that's why Dean didn't go to herbal medicine class, he found one "personal trainer".

   "Are you learning to ride a broom?" Pomona asked Neville.

   "Yes, it doesn't happen that there are Thestrals every time." Neville said halfway, and suddenly patted his forehead. "It's over, I forgot to return the broom to Dean."

   "Wayne Hopkins is looking for you." Pomona said, but she didn't know if Neville heard him, and he hurried away with the broom.

   Probably in too much of a hurry, he no longer remembers that a broom can be ridden.

  Pomona looked at his back and shook his head, looking at the information he had spread out on the table.
