MTL - Harry Potter’s Morning Light-Chapter 32 Scheming

  Chapter 32 Wisdom and Deep Calculations

   "Hahaha..."

  Suddenly there was a burst of laughter over the grass on the edge of the Forbidden Forest. The Hefpuffs who were on the picnic looked up, and it was Gryffindor people flying around on broomsticks.

   Honestly, this kind of behavior is really stupid, do they think it can attract the attention of girls? But this reminded Pomona of what she had asked Susan to do.

   "Did you buy the broom I asked you to buy?"

   "I have already written to my elder brother, and he will send it back in two days." Susan snorted after she finished speaking.

  "How much should I pay you?"

   "No, he is fighting for Hefpaff, how can I collect your money."

   "One yard goes to one yard, I don't want to owe you."

   "There is no you or me in this matter. If I change to me, I will be the same as them." Susan was very annoyed, and her black hair turned red.

  "Are you talking about the war with Slytherin?" Mary was worried.

   "Are you scared?" Susan asked hard.

  Unexpectedly, Mary nodded. "I heard that Death Eaters are now collecting a list of pure blood wizards who support Muggles. I don't want to be included on that list."

  Just as Susan wanted to say something, Pomona held her hand.

   "Do you want to drop out?" Pomona asked her.

"I don't have this plan for the time being, but if the situation continues to get serious, I may suspend school." Mary said softly, and Pomona understood that this may be the idea of ​​most Hefpuff freshmen, and they are not deeply attached to this school. They didn’t have much feelings for this college. They thought this situation was temporary. As long as the new principal Dumbledore could sit down, or change to a principal appreciated by the Dark Lord, the turbulence would disappear. Then they would Can come back to study again.

  Not everyone is as brave as Gryffindor. Dumbledore should not use his adventurous spirit in school management.

   "Today is the second day of school. You think too much." Pomona pretended to say lightly, "Right, Jenny."

  Unexpectedly, Jenny's face looked pale.

   "What's wrong with you?" Mary asked.

  Jenny bit her lip and shook her head. This dull atmosphere was not suitable for a picnic. The girls had to lift the picnic basket and walk to the castle.

  The preciousness of peace needs to be supported by war, just as the sweetness of chocolate needs bitterness to complement it, chocolate without sugar is bitter, and that kind of dark chocolate is only liked by adults.

  Hefpaff Article 74, you can give up anything, but some people can’t.

  Even if it would cost a lot of money to administer the beating willow, Pomona recognized that the money earned was originally spent. It’s been more than half of today. Once tomorrow is over, the day after tomorrow will be the day after Lupin’s transformation. Now it’s just hollowed out under the beating willow. The tunnel to Hogsmeade hasn’t been dug yet, she remembered. I saw the kind of burrowing mink that was good at digging holes last night, so after saying goodbye to her roommates, she ran to Hagrid's cabin.

   "Why are you so busy? It's not like a new student." Mary whispered behind her.

"It's just a few days, I'll be busy." Pomona turned back and said to them as she ran, hoping that after this level is over, she will be able to grow flowers and plants and make a lot of money. It is best to find a handsome boyfriend. Clean days.

  Hagrid knocked on the door for a long time without answering it. Just when Pomona thought he was not at home and ready to go back, Hagrid opened the door.

   "Oh, hello professor, what's the matter with you?" Hagrid said loudly, with a little guilty conscience that he didn't notice.

   "Can I come in Hagrid?" Pomona asked deliberately pretending not to pay attention.

   "Let's talk about something here." Hagrid squeezed through the crack of the door and closed the door under cover, obviously not wanting Pomona to see what was in the room.

   "The mink you found last night, can you let them continue to help us?" Pomona still pretended to know nothing and asked, "Of course I will pay."

   "What do you want them to do?"

  "Dig a tunnel to Hogsmeade." She hesitated for a while and said, "Do you know any place outside Hogsmeade village where dangerous magical animals can be kept in captivity?"

  Hagrid widened his small eyes, "You... want to raise dangerous animals?"

  "Accurately speaking, it is a five-star dangerous animal in the magic part."

   "Oh, my god, what do you want to raise? Five-legged monster or cystic leopard?"

  Hagrid is talking about animals classified as extremely dangerous by the Ministry of Magic, and at the same level as werewolves. Pomona maintained this beautiful misunderstanding and smiled, "Do you know any place suitable for raising these animals?"

Hagrid did not pursue those "trivial details", in line with his love for magical animals, said "First of all, you have to have a separate place like me. Those friends who are used to life in the wild are not very good to everyone. Friendly, used to... ahem, I remember there was a hut outside Hogsmeade. He used to belong to Newt Scamander. He liked to raise magical animals as much as I did when he was in school, but he was not the same as me and very rich. , So you built a house far away from the village, and you can dig a tunnel there so you can visit them often."

   "Is it currently occupied?"

"He has a son who lived at Hogwarts. He is now idle. Dumbledore originally planned to buy it, but he donated the house to the school." Hagrid bent down and the food scraps got off his beard. "You'd better go to Dumbledore if you want to use that house."

I knew it!

   Pomona gritted her teeth secretly, the old wizard had already calculated it.

   "Thank you Hagrid." Pomona turned around and pretended to leave.

   "You are polite, Professor." Hagrid also planned to return to the cabin.

   "What is the magic creature you raised before?" Pomona asked, seemingly unintentional.

   "Eight-eyed spider..." Hagrid, who said that she was leaking, quickly covered her mouth, and Pomona felt her head turned big.

  Ah, the eight-eyed spider, although it is not as powerful as a dragon, and it has not been classified by the Ministry of Magic, but everyone knows how terrifying it is.

It is a huge man-eating spider that can grow to the size of a wagon wheel, and it can reproduce in groups. It has a very strong ability to multiply. Muggles are a dead end when they encounter it. Therefore, the Ministry of Magic strictly prohibits breeding. Dangerous animal to exterminate it.

  Not all wizards have irreconcilable contradictions with Muggles. Sometimes wizards will protect Muggles. In primitive tribes, wizards want to expel monsters that Muggles can’t deal with. So wizards were very respected at first.

  Later someone began to abuse magic, which eventually led to an increase in the conflict between wizards and Muggles. In the Ministry of Magic there is an Office for Prohibition of Abuse of Magic. The main task of this department is to prohibit magicians from casting magic in front of Muggles, and to reverse magic, such as modifying Muggles’ memories and warning wizards who violate the regulations. These people must block those who want to do it at will On the way of the caster, the person in charge will be "warmly taken care of" by the Death Eaters.

  According to a newspaper report, that person happened to be called Arthur Weasley. There are many people with the same name and surname in this world, but according to Jenny's performance, the office director is most likely her cousin.

  What kind of roommate did Pete find for her?

  Pomona wanted to cry. The two adult Death Eaters who sneaked into the school this time didn't come for her.

   "Hagrid, what are you hiding in the house?" Pomona directly pointed out that the situation was so bad, and then continued to pretend to be stupid to harm others.

   "Nothing!" Hagrid still blocked the door.

"Do you remember how you were kicked out of Hogwarts the last time? This time Dumbledore cannot protect himself. If you raise creatures that shouldn't be raised around the school, you will be caught in Azkaban. No one can save you."

  Pomona scared him. Although Hagrid is an adult, his intelligence is still like a child. The giant has a burly stature, high magic resistance but low intelligence. It is already very remarkable to grow into Hagrid.

  Hagrid hesitated for a long time before opening the door unwillingly, and Pomona immediately walked in, and a strong smell of sea greeted her face.

   "What's that?" Hagrid hid a frame with a piece of floral cloth, and the creatures inside struggled from time to time, causing the frame to tremble constantly.

   "Soft-clawed land shrimp, professor, an animal that lives on land."

   "What are you doing with them?"

   "Raised animals, this soft-clawed land prawn is said to have the same taste as lobster."

  Pomona didn't know why Hagrid didn't just catch the lobster, but when he reminded her, she suddenly had an idea, so that she couldn't help laughing, looking very evil.
