Chapter 24 Unusual Ability
In Pomona’s heart, Hefpaff’s dean should be just like the hostess of the banquet, noble, gentle, ruddy, with a lovely smile, wearing a long golden dress, thick black long hair, and wearing a long black hair. With flowers just picked from the field. She was the focal point of the banquet, and everyone had to salute her when she passed by.
However, the reality is that she saw a woman with a pipe in her mouth, wearing a dirty robe, sitting on a rock with her legs spread apart, and wearing a hat as old as a sorting hat on her head.
Perfume? That is impossible. There is a strong smell on people who deal with animals all the year round. Coupled with the half-giant Hagrid, Pomona feels that she will be fainted.
Although the centaur is very indifferent to life and death, it attaches great importance to the younger generation. A small centaur was injured and his uncle, uncle, cousin, and cousin all came. They all have strong muscles, their skin is shiny like olive oil, they are holding spears, bows and arrows, and their beards and hair are carefully braided, looking like a group of warriors on the expedition.
They felt very keen. When Pomona and Lupin appeared, they noticed them immediately. The arrow was aimed at them, and they relaxed their vigilance after they realized that they were only two "human cubs".
"What are you going to do?" a centaur said in accented human language.
"I'm looking for my dean!" Pomona plucked up the courage and said, all in front of her were big men over two meters tall, who looked terrifying "I am a student of Hefpaff!"
Wilmina raised her head when she heard the sound, she took off her pipe and said loudly, "What's the matter with you?"
"I need the seeds of the wolfberry!" Pomona shouted back across the centaur.
"What do you want that ghost thing for?"
"I want to change the nature of the soil." Pomona yelled, "Dumbledore planted a beating willow in the school, or planted it on clay, that tree was mad."
"Go to Madam Pomfrey in the infirmary. She has the key to my father's office." Wilmina picked up the pipe again and continued to treat Pony. "I'm not free!"
Pomona really didn’t know why Dumbledore kept such an irresponsible teacher to the students, so she turned her head and left.
"Wait." Just as they turned to leave, a centaur looked at Lupin and said, "You can't go to the castle."
"Dumbledore gave me permission to live in the castle." Lupin stared at the centaur, clenched his fists nervously, and said to Pomona, "Let’s go."
The centaur splayed their hoofs and surrounded them after a few steps, not only blocking their way, but also aimed their spears at them.
"Veeva can go, you must stay." The horseman who spoke just now said, "You are too dangerous for humans."
Pomona looked back at Lupin, his expression calm.
"I will not hurt my friends and classmates."
"Now you can say that, but then you can't!" The horseman moved the tip of his spear closer to Lupin. "Leave!"
"He is not the murderer who hurt your son, Doren. It is much bigger than him." Wilmina held a pipe. "I know you are angry, but how to deal with him is our human business. You can't be angry with him. Intervene arbitrarily."
The half-horse known as Duolun patrolled the two of them, his faces were full of anger and let the way, but Pomona and Lupin did not dare to move, because they could both feel the real thing. anger.
"It's getting dark, Hagrid, it's okay to have me here, you take them back to the castle."
"As you wish, Professor." Hagrid handed the foal to a centaur, and then walked towards them both slowly.
After he got closer to Pomona, he knew how tall he was. This is just a "half" giant. God knows how tall the real giant is.
"Let's go, little guys, you will miss dinner later."
The legendary brutal and bloodthirsty giant is holding a pink umbrella covered with yellow dots, but Pomona really hopes that she is really crazy at this time.
Knowing that she would go to the cellar of Slytherin to get the seeds of the wolfberry flower, why run so far from the castle to the forbidden forest.
They left the attack range of the Centaur as quickly as possible. At this time, the sky had already turned dark blue. When passing by Hagrid’s hut in the wilderness, he said “wait” and waited to come out again. At that time, there was an extra lantern in his hand.
"The castle has an entrance guard at night. If you go back after that time, don't be caught by Pringle. He is sloppy, but he is merciless when he punishes people. Arthur Weasley was once lashed severely. However, it is said that there are scars left, even the potion can't be eliminated."
"It's just going back a while late, how could there be such a heavy punishment?" Pomona exclaimed.
"In fact, he didn't come home late, but got up early. At four o'clock in the morning, he was walking with his girlfriend Molly by the Black Lake. Later, he was caught by Pringle. He was whipped instead of Molly." Hagrid said. He turned his attention to Lupin, "If you were caught, would you be tortured instead of her?"
"Although she is not my girlfriend, why not?" Lupin smiled and said, "It's terrible to have scars on girls."
Pomona was very moved.
Yes, Gryffindor is sometimes reckless, but they are brave and chivalrous. Hefpaff loves women, and they protect women, even if their attitude towards girls is not very good, when women are in danger Will come forward when you are, this is the attraction of Gryffindor boys.
"Can't you think of a way not to be caught?" Pomona was moved back and couldn't help but yelled, "Pringle is lazy and doesn't like night patrols. As long as you don't get hit by him, you don't have to be whip!
Lupin was stunned, it seemed that his stupid brain had just opened up at this time.
"Oh, Hefpaff is good at hiding. I heard that your lounge doesn't have passwords and mazes, right?" Hagrid said angrily.
"Yes!" Pomona stomped **** the thick lawn under her feet "But no one has found the entrance to our lounge for a thousand years!"
This is the badger’s nature. She is good at keeping secrets and at the same time good at observing details. She already has the answer in her heart from the conversation between Wilmina and the Centaur just now.
Remus Lupin is a Wilwolf. He will lose his mind and transform on the night of the full moon. The child bitten by him will also become a werewolf like him, but Dumbledore let him study at Hogwarts.
He has just been promoted to principal this year. There is a lot of pressure from the outside world, and the school is not peaceful. If Pomona is also teaching at Hogwarts, she would not approve of allowing Lupin to enter the school, but she would not Protesting outright, at best, like Dorian, he will not come to school on time to protest.
It is also ulterior motive to plant the beating willow on the first day of school. First of all, the students have seen the power of the beating willow and will not approach easily. Another one is to see her strength. If she can't solve the crazy tree , Then let an eleven-year-old student teach at Hogwarts as a joke. If she succeeds in solving it, then she will be taken seriously, manage the treasury-like greenhouse, and even replace Dorian as A new professor of herbal medicine to solve the problem of funding and faculty at Hogwarts.
Although she doesn't know what Dumbled’s various willows do, but since Lupin is here, he is mostly related to him. There are three days left to be the night of the full moon. He must not be transformed in school, the only way. It is to let him leave school and solve his problems somewhere outside the school.
Oh yes, badgers are also good at digging holes, at least better than lions, eagles, and reptile snakes without siblings. They dig a tunnel under the tree. Anyway, as long as the students don’t dare to approach, no one will find it. It was Dumbledore's idea!
"I hate that old guy!" Pomona cursed in a low voice, Lupin and Hagrid heard it, but neither of them dared to speak.
Openness means danger. Pomona believes that Dumbledore is too open-minded and tolerant. Not everyone can accept his Gryffindor-style brave and reckless management style. After all, not everyone's heart is as strong as him. .
