Chapter 210 Blackout

  Ariot leaf is used when making a potion of laughter. Ariot is a magical tree, also known as the hyena tree.

  The leaves of this plant can cause hysteria and uncontrollable laughter. If the chopped Arriot leaves move too vigorously when stirring the potion, the laughter effect in the leaves will be destroyed, so the stirring must be very gentle.

Sometimes what I think is completely different from what he shows on the outside. Who would have thought that the vicious-looking Dean Slytherin was as easily frightened as a deer, and the first thing he thought about was to run away when he encountered a situation that he couldn’t control. Blido always forced him to do things he didn't want to do. Now that Pomona doesn't force him, he wants to run away more like a coward.

"I've always wondered what Kingsley was up to after taking office. The Law Enforcement Department was so messed up that he didn't care. I didn't receive the news until just now that he was dealing with the bird crisis." Severus was lying on her lap. , I smoked a cigarette at ease, but his tone of voice was as harsh as ever, "Did you know about the 1965 New York blackout?"

   "I know." Pomona smiled and said, "The blackout caused a baby boom."

"This is what Muggles are good at. Giving birth is just like a rat, but they never thought that if a child is born without the ability to protect himself, it will be torn to pieces by various creatures like a piece of meat in the wild, so They built castles and lived under the protection of high walls. After they had castles, they had cities. Now Muggle cities rely on electricity to keep the city running. Once they lose electricity, they will return to the dark Middle Ages, provided they don’t Will destroy the world."

  Pomona took a breath.

"For a long time there has been a rumor in the magical world that the use of electric drives such as telegraphs and electricity will affect the function of the magic wand. Blake uses gas lamps in his home, and gas lamps in your greenhouse. Lucius said that The walkie-talkie at his door is more annoying than Cici."

   "I know the rumor, I remember there is a Minister of Magic..."

"Josephine Flint, she is one of the Holy Twenty-Eighth Family. The current patriarch Marcus Flint is my student. That kid used to be the captain of the Slytherin Quidditch team. Muggleist, I heard that he didn’t know where he got a thunderbird. That **** bird flapping its wings can cause lightning and heavy rain. Imagine what happens when the Muggle’s power grid is attacked."

   "Can Marcus come up with such a clever idea?" Pomona recalled that as a senior in the seventh grade, he and Draco acted as dementors to scare Harry Potter.

"He can't be, but he must be involved. The Auror is following him. There was also a Thunderbird smuggling case seventy years ago. It was Dumbledore who asked Newt Scamander to deal with it. The Thunderbird smuggled to Egypt was sent back to his hometown by him. Later, the Thunderbird caused the blackout in New York. In the process of handling the Thunderbird, Newt Scamander almost exposed the entire magical world, Kingsley He is pro-Muggle faction, but he is not crazy enough to expose the entire wizarding world, otherwise he will become the new Grindelwald in the International Wizarding Federation. He was born as an Auror. He is very good at tracing this kind of things. He threw it to his cousin Rob Shaker. He is a peripheral member of the Order of the Phoenix. I remember that he had been to the headquarters of the Order of the Phoenix several times. He was wearing a deerstalker hat. He was Shaker. The head of the family, he asked Dumbledore to support him to replace Fudge as Minister of Magic, but as you can see, the person who took over was Sterling, the head of the Auror office."

   "It seems that every family has its own problems." Pomona looked at the man who was not handsome at all. Now her heartbeat is fast, but it is different from the out-of-control heartbeat just now.

   "There are not many people in the Order of the Phoenix who can really share the worries for Dumbledore. Alastor is dead. Arthur Weasley is loyal but has little ability, Sirius Black..."

   "Don't talk about Sirius, insulting a person who is already dead is not good for you, and it will damage your upbringing." Pomona pressed her finger to his lips.

"Ciris Black has been isolated from normal people for twelve years. His mind is not fully developed, and he is dead. No one can share his worries. The current Auror Office Director Calvin wants to replace him. Kingsley uses Treat Azkaban in a humane way, but never thought about what the Dementor would do if it lost a fixed source of food. The people lived in the Dementor’s fear. There were many people who opposed him. Fear could make people do it. A lot of unexpected things, that's why I hate losing control of emotions so much." He stared at her eyes, letting her finger on her lips whisper softly, his voice stroked her eardrums like silk.

   "Are you tempting me, Severus?" She looked at his black eyes in fascination, as if looking through them to the soul that glowed deep in the spiral labyrinth.

   "Yes, do you like it?" He smiled.

Pomona feels that she has become Cedric or Fleur, but what she really wants to do is a female Hefpaff who participates in the Triwizard Tournament. The reward is the Goblet of Fire placed in the center of the maze. It's right in front of you, just run to it to get it.

   "Are you hungry, Pomona?" His voice seemed to come from the void.

   "Stop..." she pleaded, she didn't want to be a monster like a dementor.

"This is your nature. The human soul is food for you. Why do you care about the lives of others? During the war, many people are doing experiments that they dare not do in peace. Everyone knows it." He coaxed The same whispered, "Giants are evil and they like to kill, but they are about to become extinct. The ones killed by kind human beings are not much left in Britain. They are only found abroad, and they are all hiding in the mountains. We went to Ireland and saw the Giant’s Way. In fact, giants can also be magical. You can see from Hagrid and Maxim. Their high magic resistance doesn’t mean they don’t have any magic power. Their power is what you want most. Earth magic, but their foolish brains have forgotten how to use them. You can teach them how to re-lay a path to Titan."

   "Then attack Britain, will the final genocide be absolute?" Pomona was very angry, and she was reluctant to beat him. "I hate you, Severus."

"Think about it before, there were not so many people in the world. Everyone could keep a distance from each other. They wouldn’t feel crowded and noisy. Everyone’s anger was not as big as they are now. After the blackout in New York, you know that the first reaction of all Muggles in the subway was What? It’s not panic and screaming, but everyone fell asleep together, as if they hadn’t rested for a long time. Those poor worms were exhausted to live, but when they reached the end of their lives, they didn’t know what they were living for. I don’t want to go back to live between them. I want to stay in the wizarding world. From the beginning, I saw Lily for the first time like Hagrid met Mrs. Maxim. I met the same kind. The Dark Lord knew me. We were friends with her since childhood, and ordered me to take him to the home of Lily’s parents, which is the Evans home in Cockworth. He thought Lily would hide there, but when we got there they were washed away. They don’t even remember that they have Lily as a daughter. The Dark Lord said that he had never seen such a perfect forgettable that he didn’t want to kill those two Muggles, but he knew Lily from their memory. There is a sister, you have handled this thing really not beautifully, why don't you erase her too?"

   "They gave birth to two daughters, they can't..." Pomona cried.

"Can't let them never exist, right?" He stretched out his hand to dry her tears, and continued to whisper, "Sometimes I really feel that human nature is useless. After knowing that I can't find a clue in the Evans couple. The demon tortured me. He thought I knew where Petunia lived. I was in a coma for two days. When I woke up, all the Death Eaters were gone. There were reports everywhere in the street that the Dark Lord was dead, Harry Potter. He became a boy who survived. His mother Lily died to protect him. I didn’t believe those rumors because I believed Dumbledore would protect them. So I ran to Hogwarts and asked him. He actually told me It is said that James and Lily believed in the wrong person, and see what a perfect excuse he gave himself. I am a Death Eater. If no one protects me, I will be arrested in Azkaban like everyone else. When he asked me to protect Lily’s son, I only hesitated and agreed. I owe Lily a lot, and I want to live. I still have so many things left to do. He reappeared in my eleven years later. In front of me, I recognized the kid at a glance. He is easy to recognize, isn’t he? A James’ face and Lily’s eyes grew. The scar on his forehead started to hurt the moment he looked at me. Now Tell me, who do you hear that Harry Potter's scar disappeared after the Battle of Hogwarts?"

  Pomona began to recall, but the memory at the time was only dark and chaotic. There were many people talking, and she did not remember who said Harry Potter's scar disappeared.

"He said to the people in the ministry that his scars started to hurt again, almost when you were attacked last year, Pomona, Lucius had something I agree with him. Harry Potter belongs to the Malfoy family. Calamity, I hate the boy who survived a catastrophe."

  His last sentence was spoken word by word, but Pomona remembered the Karkaroff who followed him closely at Christmas, and said with a smile.

   "How did you get rid of Karkaroff on the day of the Christmas ball?"

   "I poisoned him, **** of whiskey added life and death water, he was in close contact with the floor just like me now."

  She felt embarrassed again.

"Aren’t you curious why someone like Karkaroff became the principal of Durmstrang? He is different from me. He is a very interesting person. After the fall of Grindelwald, many of Durmstr’s teachers left. At one time, it was devastated. Later, Karkaroff recruited many former Death Eaters into the school. These people taught dark magic. They hid in the hidden school incognito, and then pushed him up together. The position of the principal, how can you be so stupid that you run into such a dangerous place alone?"

  "What is delicious in Scandinavia?" She answered honestly.

  He immediately narrowed his eyes and laughed, "Is the honey from the sad worm delicious?"

   "No!" She screamed immediately, "Why would anyone drink the wine made with Heartbreak Worm Honey?"

  He immediately put away his smirk and pinched her nose, "Think about it, use your smart head!"

  Pomona remembered when he found herself playing dog sledding, and the cup of honey that he asked her to drink that made her sorrowful and tearful, she suddenly realized something.

  "Navi Longbottom's rice bumibao was given to him by you?" He asked while she was still confused.

   "No, that was from his uncle."

   "Why is he giving such a disgusting thing." Severus found a more comfortable position on her lap and lay down.

"It didn't bother you again." Pomona complained about the misfortune of the rice bumi. Neville kept it for a year. This desert plant actually grew very strong in the gloomy British weather. Touch can also sing, it looks so fun.

   "It brought back bad memories for me, and my pot of medicine was all wasted."

  There are swelling spells in magic spells, and there are swelling potions in potions. Their functions are to make people swell, but the principles are indeed completely different.

The main ingredients of the swelling potion are bat liver, dried nettles, and puffer fish eyes. The puffer fish can be swollen, but it can’t fly in the air. If you want to make people who drink the swelling potion fly, you must add bat liver. Combining the two forms of animals requires wielding a magic wand.

  "How about we make some herbicides and get rid of those magical plants? We can't keep Malfoy Manor entangled with knotty vines."

   "I don't do that thing, it's stinking." He said with disgust on his face.

   "Didn't you still have Draco? You teach him!" She pushed his head. "Draco didn't go to Slughorn's Advanced Potions class. You know what it was for."

   "Draco!" he shouted.

  It didn't take long for Draco Malfoy to trot over.

   "Where is your potion tool?"

   "In my room."

  "Bring it here, and prepare more Flobber caterpillar mucus and lionfish spine meal. We have removed these vines."

   "Now?" Draco looked embarrassed.

   "This is a general cleaning, although you don't know it, it must be done before the beginning of each semester." She looked at the person who couldn't get up on her lap, "Can we call Astonia?"

   "If she can't keep secrets, you can forget everything about her, and also, break the marriage contract with her, Draco."

   "Yes, Godfather." Draco said overjoyed, and ran away excitedly.

   "I knew you must have fun looking for me." He stopped her neck and kissed her lips. "Prepare Horakup's juice, I'm going back over there."

   "Save the world, hero." After he jumped up with agility, Pomona rubbed her numb thigh, and she couldn't stand up for a while.

   "I am not a hero." He was serious and corrected, "Don't call me that next time."

   "Got it, Professor." She replied immediately.

   "I hope you can think of something more intimate, just like Arthur and Molly said." He whispered, "You know I'm not good at this."

   "More intimate than just calling the name?"

   "Yes, that's right." He demanded arrogantly, "This is the birthday present I want."

   "You speak like homework assignments." She looked down at the shoes.

   "Then do it seriously, don't be perfunctory like those stupid kids." He gritted his teeth and said, once again he was so angry he left.

  Looking at his dark back in the snow, Pomona couldn't help sighing. After her legs were no longer numb, she got up and prepared the standard potion materials.
