Chapter 3002 The ghost in the distance (7)

   "Yeah, I think I've seen this."

  Ben Cooper said after seeing the memory in the Pensieve.

   "See, or not." Snape gritted his teeth, and said every word.

   "I see," Ben said seriously, but Pomona thought he might have been intimidated.

   "It seems that we are one step closer to the truth." Dumbledore said optimistically, and Minerva still had a serious face.

   "I think it's not the big-headed monster that's causing the trouble, but something attached to it." Pomona said, "similar to the Black Death and fleas..."

   "You can go," Snape said to Ben.

   Ben Cooper looked at Principal Dumbledore, the kind old man nodded towards him, and then Ben Cooper left the office.

   "Don't say it in front of them, you don't know what kind of rumors there will be in the school." Snape stared at Pomona and said, "Especially the Ministry of Magic is still watching us."

   "I don't think Ben Cooper is a talkative person," Pomona said.

He still wanted to argue with her, and Dumbledore said, "I think what Professor Sprout said is correct. The black object was not only attached to the big hairy monster, but even manipulated it, bringing it to Grid In the Ryffindor drawing room."

   "I thought the defensive magic in the lounge would block those dark creatures." Snape said with a half-smile, "Especially Gryffindor."

   "The big-headed monster was produced in the far east. Although the school founders traveled around many places in Europe, they never set foot in that land." Dumbledore said.

   "Or the other way around," Pomona said.

  Everyone looks at her.

"It can be attached to the big-headed monster, or it can be attached to a person. The big-headed monster will follow the person and attack him. If the thing attached to the big-headed monster is transferred to a Gryffin What about the many students?" Pomona said.

   "Where's that note?" Minerva asked, "Is it also left behind by manipulating the students?"

  Pomona recalled how the note burned instantly when Albus touched it, and wondered if it could have been written on parchment with a quill.

  At this time, Phoenix Fox uttered a low cry. When everyone looked at it, it shook all its feathers, as if stretching itself.

   "Could it be a feather." Snape said, looking at Fawkes.

   "Feathers?" Pomona asked.

   "It looks like that to me," Snape said.

  Pomona recalled carefully, she only saw a black shadow, more like some kind of snake swimming in the water than feathers.

   "If it's a quill with black magic, I don't think the protection magic in the lounge can shield it." Minerva looked at Dumbledore, "It's similar to the products of Zuko's joke shop."

   "Feathers can also be used as the core of a wand. I remember that on the day Mr. Ben Cooper was attacked, you found a cursed brick, didn't you?" Dumbledore asked.

   "Yeah," Pomona said. "It was put in a greenhouse, and none of those plants are coming back to life now."

   Dumbledore did not speak for a long time.

"Because that quill with black magic cursed the note, and when you touched it, it was 'purified'?" Snape looked at Dumbledore and said with a smile, his smile looked malicious and full of sarcasm.

   "How difficult is it to find a quill in school?" Dumbledore said with a smile, "It's like the famous Muggle saying that if you want to hide a leaf, you have to put it in the forest."

   Snape was expressionless.

   "So, shall we search the entire 'forest'?" Minerva said.

   "It's different from other things, and it will attack." Dumbledore looked at the Pensieve and said, "We just need to wait and see."

  This approach may lead to a student being attacked, maybe he or she will be unlucky, killed like Myrtle, and Dumbledore will resign like the previous headmaster?

  Pomona looked up at the portrait of Fitzgerald, and she seemed to be really asleep.

==================================================== ===========

Although the Horcrux is a very evil black magic item, Harry still brought Tom Riddle's diary into the Gryffindor lounge in the second grade, and Ginny Weasley was also manipulated by him, she Also a Gryffindor.

  Ordinary ghosts cannot touch the material world, but Peeves can, and there is also the ghost of Tom Riddle who has absorbed Ginny's life. Tom Riddle could even touch Harry's wand, a phoenix feather wand with the same core as the one he was holding.

  Pomona yawned, her head was so heavy that even the coffee didn't help.

When Harry first dueled with Voldemort in Little Hangleton's cemetery, his wand had some kind of weird connection to Voldemort's wand, even triggering the flashback spell when no one was around, including Cedric The souls within are present.

   "What are you thinking?" The old bat flipped through the Daily Prophet just delivered by the owl, and asked without looking up.

   "Cedric, he's in the same class as Elena." Pomona said listlessly, "but I don't remember what he looked like when he was a freshman."

   "What do you want him to do?" The old bat glared at her fiercely.

   "A flashback spell, and a phoenix feather core," said Pomona.

   "The war is over," Severus said.

   "I know." Pomona said, but she still couldn't help thinking about it. "Is it possible that the Dark Lord, like Harry, has a pure heart."

   "Because they all have wands with phoenix feather cores?" Severus asked.

  Pomona nods.

   "After the Dark Lord's resurrection, the original wand no longer suited him," Severus said slowly, "even though he once suited that wand."

  Pomona watched him quietly.

  He is really not the kind of handsome that makes people shine, especially the aquiline nose, and now he has a scar on his neck.

  He also couldn't joke like James and Sirius, which made her always feel happy.

   "Do you know Su Dongpo?" Pomona said.

  He looked at her.

   "A poet?" he said.

   "No, he's a gourmand," Pomona said with a smile, "and an unlucky guy who keeps getting relegated to remote places."

   "Why did you remember him?" Severus asked.

   "What do you want to eat? Oysters or Dongpo pork?" Pomona asked.

  He looked absolutely amazed.

"Albus said that happiness is everywhere, no matter how dark it is, as long as we remember to light up the light in our hearts. Hangzhou was recorded in Marco Polo's travels, but Hangzhou was not a 'paradise' in Su Dongpo's time, he When he first arrived, there was a severe drought and the plague was prevalent, he did not choose to escape, but chose to fight against it..."

Pomona then chattered about Su Dongpo's story. As a beginner, she actually won many rounds with Gobstone last night. This may be due to luck, or it may be because he let her. Nothing memorable.

  About Su Dongpo, she remembers one thing, which is to "turn decay into magic", and process unwanted ingredients into delicious dishes.

Mutton was only eaten by the rich and powerful in the past, and the common people could not eat it at all. Su Dongpo, who was also poor, discovered the sheep scorpion, which is the sheep bone with meat. Su Dongpo studied how to eat it, boiled the sheep bone first, and then roasted it. It can be eaten when it is slightly burnt.

  It’s all the meat of a sheep. Why do some people dislike the bones of sheep because they like easy-to-chew meat?

  It may be because whether it is Dongpo meat or lamb scorpion, it has to be cooked "slowly". Not only can you not eat hot tofu if you are impatient, but you should not rush this kind of slow-cooked dish, you have to be patient.

  The Buddha knew that Wukong was in a hurry, but Wukong should not be in a hurry, it is useless to be anxious.

  Let's not worry, look, isn't happiness coming soon?
