Chapter 2846 "Wooden Man" (6)

  In the fable of the bee it is written: When we maintain a state of vigilance, and thus defend our dignity, our lips are closed, the jaw is tightened, and the muscles of the mouth are slightly contracted. If you go into another room with this state and meet a sweet, dignified young lady, your expression will change in an incredible way before you know it. A state.

  Compared to just now, the harsh factor has faded a bit, and a bit more tenderness has been added. If you look ahead aimlessly, your face will relax and appear very natural.

  Babies have not yet possessed intelligence, and when their minds are still in a fuzzy state, their facial muscles are very relaxed, and their lips are also in a relaxed state. These phenomena reappear as people age and their intelligence weakens, and they can also be seen in the faces of most dementias. Therefore, if a person behaves particularly clumsily, or like a congenital fool, we say that he "can't stop drooling."

  The most irritating thing in the world is the idiot, and the most difficult to be mastered by pride is also the idiot.

  Rudy has been tortured out of temper by the trolls, and now Barnaby and Ben are added, who fully understand the difficulty of Barnabas teaching the trolls to dance ballet.

   Liz didn’t fully participate. She accepted the school’s proposal and planned to work on wild beasts. Pomona gave Liz the messenger bag that Frank cast a space expansion spell on her when she was studying.

  In the era of Scamander, carrying a suitcase in your hand didn't look strange, but in this day and age, walking down the street with a suitcase will make people look sideways.

   Liz changed the messenger bag to her own favorite style at the weaving club, and then gave Pomona a flannelette bag.

  It doesn't look like it has any decorations, but if you look closely, you can still see some dark patterns, sometimes it is the pattern of magical animals, sometimes it is the pattern of plants. They are all dynamic because of the magic used.

After all this is done, Leeds is going to move Scamander's bred pack beasts in the mountains to a more remote coast, which is not only more spacious, but also free of trolls and poachers, according to the Department of Magical Beast Protection of the Ministry of Magic It is also more convenient to handle. This is not only the content of her internship in seventh grade, but also the job she may do in the future.

Charlie was still careless, and Kettleburn stopped letting them train swallowtail dogs to go through fire hoops after they entered the third grade. Spikes like to eat wild daisies. You can drive them away, or use a Stunning Charm on them, which will not cause permanent damage to this creature.

   But looking at it another way, the Thorns can also find and collect wild daisies among the colorful wildflowers if they can refrain from eating it. The same is true for Muggles training dogs and pigs to find truffles, not to mention that Thorn can speak human language, provided that he listens to human beings.

  As long as he is in a bad mood, he will lose his temper. This is what Charlie and the others need to control. Although Stinger's thorns are not as dangerous as the dragon's flames, they still hurt.

  Bill was preparing for the Owls exam in the library like a normal fifth grader. After the tickets for the Weird Sisters were sold out, "Smart Drugs" became the best seller on the black market. Similarly, the medical wing was busy again.

   "If I catch you taking medicine indiscriminately again, Mr. Augers, I'll pour hemlock straight down your throat!"

  After detoxifying another poisoned student, Snape was menacing to the sick in the hospital bed.

   "Don't worry, you won't necessarily die if you drink the poison. If the dose is insufficient, you will just be unconscious." Herbert Spring added with a smile.

   "Help." August wailed miserably, but even Madam Pomfrey didn't sympathize with him. This was the second time he was hospitalized this month.

   After treating the patient, Snape and Spring left the medical wing, and they had to configure the next potion to treat another patient.

Pomona felt that the hospital wing of Hogwarts had relieved a lot of the burden on St. Mungo's. If every patient was sent to St. Mungo's Hospital, they would be shocked. There are so many people in need of treatment, and they might have to fight with Muggles. Hospitals also specialize in a "pediatrics department".

  In fact, pediatrics are more difficult to treat than adults. Their blood vessels and nerves are thinner, and because of changes in weight and height, the dose must be adjusted.

   Then I had to bring up the issue of summer homework. Of course, adults don’t need to do summer homework anymore, but children must continue to be tortured by it.

Pomona's summer homework is very simple, all you need to do is hand in a pot of living plants, along with a growth diary. I won't watch it either.

  Snape asked for trouble when he asked a group of second graders to write a dissertation on shrinking potions. This is what they are going to teach in the third grade, and it is actually a preview.

  But Slughorn only needs the students to follow the operation steps and make the potion.

   If he and Zygmuntbach were in the same era, Pomona felt they were at least incompatible. In the formula of the shrinking lotion written by Zygmuntbach in the textbook, there was the drug hemlock. Snape not only changed the formula beyond recognition, but also deleted the hemlock.

  Budge said to shake the mouse spleen and add it to the cauldron, Snape said to shake the shrunken fig juice and add it to the crucible, Butch said to add 4 drops of leech juice, Snape said to add 5 drops.

  The most outrageous thing is that Bucky said to wave the wand when the potion is finished configuring, and use the shrinking spell on the potion. Snape said that was "drooling fools", and also deleted this step.

  After experimental comparison, there is no difference in the shrinking water brewed by the two methods, and the Ministry of Magic also believes that there is no need to change the teaching materials for this, which makes Snape's temper even more irritable.

  What is the difference between these two brewing methods? This is the summer homework for the second grade, and Pomona thinks it's better to let them hand in a bottle of flesh-eating slug insecticide as before.

   There is a medicinal material in the body water called caterpillar (caterpillar), the word refers to the larval form of a butterfly or moth, and it is also the name of an American excavator company.

   In fact, there are many opportunities to make a fortune. The United States and Japan recently signed the "Plaza Accord". Japan developed rapidly after the war and soon became a competitor of the United States. Caterpillar's competitor happened to be Japan's Komatsu.

  Caterpillar had to lay off employees because of efficiency problems. At that time, many American manufacturers thought the same as Caterpillar's bosses. As long as the yen appreciated, the competitiveness of American products would double, so they collectively lobbied the White House.

  It just so happens that Japan also has plans in this regard. As Japan's influence in the economy and politics increases and the country is in prosperity, the appreciation of the yen seems to better reflect its international status.

Pomona didn't know about the others, but she knew that Lucius Malfoy took advantage of this opportunity to make a lot of money, almost making up for the losses of the last war, and he planned to take Snape with him earn.

  The baptism of Draco Malfoy brought friends together. This is how private equity funds unite the power of individual individuals to form a greater force. But Snape had only bought shares in the Broom Company, as if he were cutting himself off from everything in the Muggle world, not even the chance of making money.

  Some people think that he is pretending to be aloof, and some people think that he is cautious, otherwise he would not have retreated from the frenzy rolled up by the mysterious man, and now he has become the youngest professor and dean in the history of Hogwarts.

Buildings are not built in mid-air, they need a solid foundation. Now that he has gained a foothold in Hogwarts, it is time to think about the "future". to think about.

In the corridor of the potions classroom, there is a portrait of a witch by Lycia Cain. She was a potions taxonomist during her lifetime. The little wizard was willing to stop listening, so she told him.

The leech and the frightened locust are actually the same thing. If you have to distinguish between the calm leech and the frightened leech, the juice of the calm leech is more widely used in potions, and the juice of the frightened locust is used in potions of vertical hair Such a potion for mischief.

The hair erection potion doesn't do anything except the upper hair stands up like an electric shock, which uses billy wig stings, eel eyes and porcupine quills, even dry billy wig stings can stun, crush It will continue to discharge when the eel eyes, "the porcupine spine must remove the crucible and then add it".

  It's dangerous and fun, perfect for pranksters.

In the past, Sirius often listened to Lycia, and even thought about taking Lycia's portrait from the Potion Corridor to other places, but Lycia insisted on staying in the Potion Corridor, even though she did not invent any magic potions. medicine.

The villagers who were attacked last time digging wild mandrakes were actually because the wizard believed that the wild ones were better than the domestic ones, and they were willing to spend more money to buy them. Domesticated animals and plants are more powerful. If someone is willing to buy, someone is willing to pick it. As a result, the villager narrowly escaped death in the place he usually goes to.

  He hasn't fought for many years, and almost forgot about it. Fortunately, he still remembers "safe guarding". As long as he remained motionless in the defensive magic, the werewolf would not be able to detect him.

When Sirius Black was the keeper of the Fidelity Curse, this spell also protected the Potter family, making the villa in Godric's Hollow invisible, indescribable, soundproof, completely hiding a person, so that others cannot find him, Unless the confidential person is willing to give his location.

  Pomona still doesn't believe that Blake, whose loyal dog is an Animagus, would betray his friend.

   "Pomona."

  She heard Snape's voice, and took out the two-way mirror in her pocket.

   "Are you okay?" he asked.

   "The final exam is over, and I am not proctoring the owls exam." Pomona said.

   "Are you free or not?" He asked coldly.

   "Yes," Pomona said.

   "Wait for me at the school gate."

   "Okay." She said happily.

   "Not a date." He said in a strange tone, and then turned the double-sided mirror upside down.

   "I know not!" She said angrily, put the double-sided mirror back into the flannel bag, and left the hospital wing.
