Chapter 25 Growing and Composting
Hogwarts has a school doctor, but she serves other races outside the school all year round (the kind that others don’t appreciate), and the nurse Madam Pomfrey provides treatment to students in the infirmary.
In ancient times, wizards and doctors were often taken by one person, and there were master potions professors. If they couldn’t solve the problems, Wilmina would probably not be able to solve them. In the end, they could only be sent to St. Mungo for treatment.
During Hagrid’s studies, Hogwarts had already had a scandal. A Muggle girl was killed. Although the murderer was not Hagrid, he was kicked out of Hogwarts. Between Muggles and wizards in society The conflict has been very intense, and the school can no longer withstand the blow of another scandal. It is a risk to let Remus Lupin enter the school.
After thinking about the reason, Pomona realized that Dumbledore planted a willow on the school grounds on the first day of school. This is a test and an education. Lupin’s essence is not bad. , But if you let him be with those werewolves who hurt people at will, then he will also become a spurned person. Man’s innateness is arranged by God, no one can intervene, but acquired can be shaped, provided that the proper soil is obtained. Both Boothbarton and Durmstrang have no sorting ceremony, just like letting a cactus suitable for sandy soil and an orchid suitable for living in the rain forest live in the same room. The cactus will die if you water it too much, and the orchid will die if you water it less. It is not easy to find the amount of water in which both cacti and orchids can survive. Durmstrang is a pure-blood wizard. Even if the teacher makes omissions, parents are responsible for checking the omissions at home. Boothbatten has strict school rules. There is no winter vacation. The whole winter palace will be surrounded by ice sculptures. At least there are winter and summer vacations at Hogwarts. You can also go to Hogsmeade on the third-year rest day. He did, as he said, treating the students as his own family, but unfortunately he faced a serious shortage of manpower. Those students could be talents or tools for some people to achieve their ambitions. Slytherin’s youth The Death Eaters gradually replaced Slughorn’s Slug Club. Talents from all aspects of the network played for their masters. They would not miss any opportunity to squeeze out Dumbledore.
The crisis is in sight, but many people choose to stand by. Some do not want to cause trouble, and some do it for their own benefit. Even if Pomona does not approve of Dumbledore’s actions, she still does not want to reveal that Remus Lupin is a werewolf. The secret, even if no one asks Pomona to keep it secret.
When you can only make a hasty decision, trust your instincts, at least Dumbledore is more sensible than the Dark Lord who clamors for pure bloodism. The environment can change people. Today's Slytherin is becoming more and more crazy, without the elegance of the past. Tom Riddle is different from Grindelwald. Grindelwald is really committed to solving the problem of the survival of wizards, for the benefit of wizards. Muggle interests must be sacrificed, and Tom Riddle is constantly instilling a sense of pure blood superiority in those wizards and nobles. He is arrogant and can't see the situation clearly, so that such people will lead wizards to destroy the entire race.
After getting the key to Professor Grapland’s office, Pomona dumped Lupin and Hagrid and found a place to calm down by herself. Changing the nature of the soil does not happen overnight. Spring is suitable for growth, and autumn and winter are suitable for composting. The leaves will wither from the canopy and fall on the ground to gradually rot, and finally become the fertilizer needed for the growth of plants in the coming year. September is not suitable for planting trees. But suitable for composting, Dumbledore seemed to have even calculated this.
He is not worse than Grindelwald. Even if Lupin doesn’t go outside the school, the house she saw on the eighth floor corridor can be used for him if she doesn’t care about the beating willow. Finally, wizards can burn it with flames, and an innocent life is implicated in the wizard’s farce and destroyed.
What did it do wrong? It just wants to get rid of the environment that is not suitable for its growth. The reason why clay is not suitable for plant growth is not only because of its poor drainage, but also because it is not conducive to root growth. Plant roots like to stretch, and sticking roots in clay is just like human hands and feet. Just like being restrained, people have to fight if they lose their freedom. Why can't plants fight for survival?
She slowly closed her eyes. Hogwarts needs a responsible herbal medicine teacher, so he can't travel long distances like Dorian, and he disappears after school starts. He will grow roots in Hogwar like a tree. This is Dumbledore’s implication: "Your life is here." She will become a housewife without a home. What's more sad is that she takes care of the rest. Not his own child.
For the greater good, someone must make sacrifices. Dumbledore is a great selfless man, but unfortunately not everyone is as selfless as him, so he uses human kindness to devise tricks to make others think it’s his own will. , Actually act as he imagined...
"Pomona."
She heard someone calling her name and followed the voice. There was a tall man standing in the corridor not far away. She rubbed her eyes and found that Professor Slughorn was standing there.
"Are you okay?" the professor asked. Now he is different from the appearance of eager for quick success in the office. He is an ordinary teacher who is caring for his students.
"A long day, Professor." She said listlessly, "A long day."
"Why don't you go back to the dormitory? It's not safe to wander around the school in the middle of the night." Professor Slughorn said gently, and she couldn't help but smile.
"Maybe, I won't be a student soon." She said, "Professor McGonagall offered me a position, Professor of Herbology."
"Oh, you are still so young."
"Professor, you and Professor Dumbledore seem to be about the same age. What was he doing when he was the same age as me?"
"I don't want to talk about him." Slughorn said in a cold and disgusting voice with a calm face, "I really don't know why Dippet recommended him to take over as the principal."
"Are there any other suitable candidates besides him?" Pomona casually perfunctory.
"Of course, Batty Crouch, he's a very upright man." Slughorn answered immediately. "But who is Dumbledore? He is the hero who defeated Grindelwald, a little Where is the Minister of Magic Execution Department his opponent."
Slughorn was actually angry. Maybe he thought he was also calculated by Dumbledore. Herbs are the basis of potions. What a temptation for a potion teacher, a Veeva who is good at plant magic.
"Professor, please help me." Pomona resisted her tears and kept herself from crying, "I don't know what to do."
"Don't make that look, Pomona, I know you are from Dumbledore." Slughorn said grimly, before he pulled his robe and turned away and said again, "Wandering in the hallway after nightfall, Hefpaff deducted two points."
"You can't..." Lupin's voice suddenly sounded in the silent corridor, but it suddenly stopped, as if being covered by a hand.
"Who's where?" Slughorn chased the voice away, and only Pomona was left in the long, dark corridor.
Article 72 of the Hefpaff Code of Conduct, if you force yourself appropriately, you will make a choice.
Although it was not Pomona who was persecuting herself, she already knew how to make a choice.
She took a long breath, straightened her back, and walked towards Hefpaff’s burrow.
No wonder she was so scared before. It turns out that she faced the choice of fate.
