Chapter 2813 Red Hunger (15)

The Hall of Mirrors in the Palace of Versailles has 17 floor-to-ceiling glass windows, each of which is facing a floor-to-ceiling mirror on the wall. These 17 mirrors are composed of 483 lenses. They not only reflect the magnificent dome murals, but also reflect the beauty of the garden. , and the blue sky and white clouds.

  At night, the candles lit by more than 32 candlesticks on 3 rows of hanging candles in the hall and 8 tall candlesticks that can hold 150 candles are reflected by the mirror to form about 3000 candles, illuminating the entire hall brightly.

  As long as people stand in the center, they can reflect different self from each mirror.

Although the Barnaby family's manor is not as luxurious as Versailles, it is still as big as a museum. Ben Cooper is not only timid and cowardly, he can't even ride a broomstick well. During the summer vacation, Barnaby borrowed his own broom For him, the two practice together in the hallway of the manor.

   "You must be joking." Liz said in surprise.

   "I'm not good at making jokes." Ben said wryly, "Besides, I'm telling the truth."

   Leeds is petrified again.

   "Don't forget to collect the pods!" Pomona reminds Liz.

   Liz Stewart is now working with Ben Cooper to collect the pimple vine pods, which have been frozen before.

  After listening to Ben's description, Pomona realized that the Dark Lord didn't condescend to go to an ordinary house. After all, the Lee family didn't like to hold various dance parties at home like Malfoy.

   This is the last class before the Christmas holiday. Since the weekend is connected, this Christmas holiday has turned into a week. Not to mention the students, she also wants to finish class early.

In the end, Pomona decided to end get out of class early, so that they could go back to the lounge from the greenhouse to pack their luggage. Most of the students left after hastily packing up the workbench. Liz and Ben stayed and helped Pomona clean up the workbench. cleaner.

   "Where are you going for the holidays?" Ben asked Liz.

   "I want to go to North Ford Marsh," said Liz.

   "But the swamp must freeze in winter, and you're not safe going there alone," said Ben.

   "But I want to find clues." Liz said.

   "Did Blake take anything from the camp?" Ben said.

   "Why do you think that?" Liz asked.

   "Just ask," said Ben.

   It took the two of them a long time to clean up the greenhouse. By the time they returned to the castle, the others had already carried their suitcases and headed towards Hogsmeade station.

  No one had lunch, but there is a dining car on the car, and of course you can go to the kitchen to get a sandwich to take away.

   After the others finished walking, Pomona came to Greenhouse No. 3. The Mirror of Erised is now placed next to the poisonous tentacles.

  She stood in front of the polished mirror.

   This mirror has existed in Hogwarts for hundreds of years, and it has had many owners, some of whom, as Albus said, spent their time in front of the mirror.

  The vision in the magic mirror often brings comfort to people, and it can also make people obsessed with an impossible future.

Pomona first saw herself in the mirror, and she waved to herself outside the mirror, and then she planted a seed, and a seedling quickly grew in it, and the seedling grew at a very fast speed, turning into a bubble pod. Then the bubble pods bloomed and fruited, and soon filled the entire greenhouse.

  At first, she was still worried about her secret desire to rule the world or something, but now her worry has been replaced by something else.

  Why Bubble Pods? Pimple vines are better.

   "Dean!"

   "What... ouch!" Pomona quickly dodged the leaf that was waving at her from the poisonous tentacles.

   "Can I go to Hogsmeade on vacation?" Tonks asked in the hallway.

   "No! You are a freshman."

   "But it's the holidays," Tonks pouted. "Mommy took me there last year."

  Pomona immediately left the dangerous greenhouse.

  She put the Mirror of Erised here to prevent herself from forgetting the danger because of the sight in the mirror, and now her trouble comes from "outside".

   When she also came to the corridor, she found that Tonks' hair was changing from pink to purple.

  Actually, there are still a lot of students staying in school, because the time spent on the train adds up to one day, and Christmas at school can enjoy a different atmosphere from that at home.

   "You can go one day," Pomona said.

   "Yeah~~~" Tonks cheered.

   "But you have to be supervised," Pomona said.

  Tonks began to howl.

  Pomona sighed, she still wanted to find a senior to "be a babysitter", and their wailing was probably louder than Tonks.

   "Whoever agrees can go!" Snape said, slapping the table.

   "It's a vacation," Pomona replied calmly.

   "That's why we need parental consent!" Snape stood up, walking around his desk. "Do they have it?"

   "They went in a carriage, and they were supervised along the way..."

   "No!" Snape interrupted her rudely.

   "I took you and Lily there, it was your birthday!" Pomona poked his heart with his finger, "You were also a freshman."

  He was speechless.

   "Not to mention that you are not in charge of security outside the school." After finishing speaking, Pomona left his office directly.

   "Sorry, I can't agree." Minerva wore glasses and said while handling school affairs.

   "Why?" Pomona wailed.

Minerva quickly finished signing with a quill pen, "When wizards and witches accept the Hogwarts acceptance letter, they agree to abide by our laws. They must be in the third grade and have their parents sign. You can only go to Hogsmeade if you don't."

  Pomona was speechless.

   "I'm going to the principal!" said Pomona.

   "The principal is not in the UK at the moment." Minerva changed a document and said without looking up, "He said he would take a trip during this holiday."

   “He obviously had a summer to travel,” Pomona said.

   But Minerva didn't explain to her anymore, so Pomona had to think about how to tell Tonks that she couldn't go to Hogsmeade.

   On the way back to the cellar, Pomona met Rudy, who was studying a golden helmet with Felix.

   That helmet was too big for a human being, and neither Feliway nor Rudy touched it, just let it flip in mid-air.

   "Is this the kind of helmet that can control trolls?" Pomona asked.

   "I guess so." Felix held up his wand and flipped the helmet over.

   "How did you find it?" Pomona asked Rudy.

   "It was snatched from a troll." Rudy said helplessly, "He plans to keep it as a family heirloom."

   "Change a place, people come and go here." Pomona reminded.

   "How about going to my place?" Professor Carter came out of nowhere and said to Felicity and Rudy.

   Felicity and Rudy had no disagreements, and at this moment Carter ran to Pomona's side.

   "Are you going to the Ministry of Magic's Yule Ball?" Professor Carter asked.

   "No, I still have something to do." Pomona said helplessly, "I still want to tell the freshmen why they can't go to Hogsmeade."

   "Just tell them no." Professor Carter said in confusion.

   "You mean, something like 'No way, no way'?" Pomona asked rhetorically.

   "Otherwise what are you going to tell them?" Professor Carter asked.

  Tell them about the history of magic? Tell them how wizards were persecuted by Muggles and had to hide themselves?

   "I'm still thinking about it," said Pomona dryly.

   "I don't understand why you talk so much to children." After Carter finished speaking, he followed Felix and the others back to the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom with their helmets on.

  Pomona thought that Carter would also go back to the "Adult World" at the beginning of the vacation.

   Actually, the Bubble Pod was the first plant she planted, but even with her talent, the Bubble Pod died, or didn't break the ground at all.

  She was feeling down and feeling like she couldn't do anything, when "Henry" appeared.

   But she couldn't remember what he said.

  He always stays in the attic, leaving her to play in the house or garden by herself, and he doesn't allow her to call him grandpa, even though his beard and hair are gray.

   "I'm not as old as you think." He said with a smile, the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes could kill mosquitoes.

  Now she feels that when he said that, he looked very young, and his cheeks were rosy.

  Until one day, he suddenly leaned back and sat motionless by the workbench, and then she was taken to another place.

When a person wants to change the past, he will find out how difficult it is to persuade the past self to change his mind. The final result is to be killed by the past self, or die together. After all, the future self kills the past self. This "future" is gone.

   But she doesn't know, what's in "Henry"'s past that needs to be changed?

"professor!"

   Liz, Barnaby and Ben walk towards her.

   "Where are the new students?"

   asks the kind-hearted Liz, who is the senior who is willing to "be a babysitter."

  Barnaby looked indifferent, Ben...

   "Did I meet you somewhere?" Pomona asked Ben Cooper.

   "What are you talking about? Didn't we just have class this morning?" Liz said.

   Just when Pomona was puzzled, Snape appeared.

   "Aren't you going to take care of the 'pet' in the dungeon?" He said coldly.

   "Yes, Vera!" cried Barnaby, and the three of them ran at once.

   Severus walked up to her.

   "Did Ben have a long-lost wizard grandpa?" Pomona said.

   "What nonsense are you talking about?" He frowned.

  Pomona didn't know how to explain it to him, because it was all so weird.

   "There are so many days at Christmas, you can't spend them all sleeping."

   "You want to invite me to Malfoy Manor?" Pomona asked.

   "No, to Diagon Alley."

   "Okay, but I have something to do first."

"What's up?"

   "Why can't they go to Hogsmeade?" Pomona replied.

   "This is a rule, what's there to explain?" Snape asked.

  Pomona didn't bother to explain, although she seemed to be looking for trouble.
