Harry Potter’s Morning Light - Chapter 2820

Chapter 2820 The Runaway Wolf (3)

On Lily’s 12th birthday, she got a Barbie doll as a birthday present, which was what girls wanted most in that era. Although it was the Evans who paid the money, it was Petunia who chose the doll.

When it came time for Penny’s birthday, Lily’s “surprise” for her was to release a bunch of tree monkey frog tadpoles at her birthday party, and they bounced and landed on the girls who came to the birthday party , in their hair, they were so frightened that they ran away from the party screaming.

Lily didn’t say what happened to her afterwards, but when Pomona went to her house for the summer vacation the following year, Penny was obviously still angry about that incident, and she even closed the door, as if she didn’t intend to be with Lily again in her life, and Her “strange friend” spoke.

Until Lily taught a well-known vicious dog in the area, it always liked to chase children, and Petunia was also chased by it.

When she first came to Penny’s room, Pomona was taken aback by the pinkness all over the room. Even though Lily is often away, she has a Beatles poster on her bedroom wall and a guitar that she plays badly.

Petunia loved to dress and sew for Barbie, as she did for herself, and occasionally she would go into the kitchen and help her mother bake pastries as if she were made of cake and ribbon.

One of the few advantages of Ben Cooper is that he is good at doing things. His father is a maintenance worker. He can basically repair everything. He even adjusted the common flying broom for school physical education classes.

He is good at being alone, unlike other noisy Gryffindors who can sit down at the workbench and do precise work. Compared with humans, he feels that ghosts are kinder and safer, because only the ghosts in his house know that he can see ghosts.

After coming to Hogwarts, he was very unsuited to boarding life, coupled with the persecution of Muggle seeds at that time, it was difficult for him to stay in public for a long time, so Nick, who was almost headless, took him to the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom a secret room next to it.

To come to this secret room, you need to go through the furnace. First, use the Freezing Fire Curse to freeze the fire, and then you can see an upward staircase after pushing open the movable door panel at the back. The staircase only leads to one room. A leftover tool from the last guy who liked to delve into these “gadgets”.

Ben is having a good time here, not just because no one is bothering, but because he’s safe, and no “person” knows the place but himself and the Gryffindor ghost.

Then one day, Nearly Headless Nick brought Barnaby along. He always felt that children cannot live without playmates, and Barnaby also needs a place to hide.

Actually, Barnaby didn’t like the “crappy doll” either, but since it was broken and never repaired, he took it to school as a toy for Ben to play with.

When Ben first got the doll, it was black and burnt. As far as Barnaby’s father knew from the seller, it had been hidden in a chimney, and had been found by a chimney sweeper.

That house was notoriously haunted, but it was cheap, and people lived in it anyway. The horror like Annabelle did not happen there, but occasionally knocking sounds could be heard from the wall, as if someone was inside the wall. Just ignore it and it will disappear after a while.

When I discovered it, the whole world hadn’t made a fuss about the family in North London. What happened to Annabelle happened before that incident, and few people knew about it except in North America. So even if it was an antique, the doll found in the chimney was only sold for a very low price, and it was not in the newspaper.

Even though the doll itself is all black, the clothes he wears are still brand new.

This is a male court doll, wearing an 18th century wig, white socks, chaps and a silk silk coat, and there are patterns sewn with gold thread on the clothes of such a small doll.

When Ben first fixed the doll, it could only dance, but he put it on the display case and didn’t care about it anymore.

Probably around the Irondale incident, the doll started talking, and he called himself Paul.

“Paul? Why doesn’t he call himself Jupiter!” Pomona said loudly, waving his hands.

“If he’s really a demon, he’ll taunt the ruling gods, it’s not Jupiter’s world now,” Severus said wearily.

“You can see the smile on his face, it’s obviously a devil’s smile.” Pomona said nervously.

“He knows the secrets beneath the castle, and he’s dressed in the 18th century, that’s probably not too old a devil.” Severus grabbed her hand. “It’s Christmas, don’t think too much about it.”

“French dolls…” she whispered, first thinking of the Edict of Nantes and the French who fled to England when Louis XIV abolished it.

“Don’t think about it.” He said softly, and took out a jewelry box from the deformed lizard skin pocket, “I have a gift for you.”

It looks a lot like a diamond ring or something.

‘Don’t think too much. ‘

She reminded herself, watching Severus open the box.

Inside is a pocket watch.

‘Otherwise what do you think it will be? ‘

She seemed to hear someone say that.

“Merry Christmas, do you like it?”

“This one looks expensive,” says Pomona.

“You just have to tell me if you like it or not,” Severus said.

She thought about what equivalent gift she had given him.

“I bought this with my first paycheck.” He said “Don’t worry, it’s clean.”

“Why should I worry about this?” Pomona asked confused.

“Because of my past.”

She couldn’t stand his tone and expression, so she took the pocket watch over.

When she opened it, the first thing she saw was a blue surface, which looked like the color of the night sky.

“You can press it to switch.” He took the watch and pressed the button. “If there is a troll approaching, you can find it.”

“I can see trolls without it!” said Pomona aggressively. “How could I not see them?”

“I didn’t say that kind of troll, but those little trolls who love adventure.”

She didn’t notice it at first, but now she realizes how close they are.

She was about to back up, but he stopped her by the shoulder to prevent her from going back.

“Take it.” He stuffed the watch into her hand.

“Why is it blue?” She took the watch and muttered, “I’m not Ravenclaw.”

“It’s the same color as your eyes.”

She looked into his eyes, which had never been bright and charming, as dark as the corridors of Hogwarts Castle after dark, waiting for adventurers with fluorescent wands to explore.

“Ahem.”

Liz coughed twice.

“What are you doing?” Snape said in a bad temper.

“We have something to say.”

Liz, Barnaby, and Ben are all standing in front of the Pomona office.

“Why didn’t you knock? How about your manners?” Snape asked.

“We knocked, but you didn’t hear.” Liz looked at them with a smile.

“What is so important that we have to say it today!” he growled.

“I’m going to get some drinks.” She said wearily, eager to leave the place.

When she came to the corridor, she found Peeves talking to Tonks.

“Come on, I know many secret passages in this castle.” Peeves said to Tonks.

Tonks hesitated, but didn’t immediately agree to Peeves.

“Peves!” Pomona yelled.

Tonks and Peeves watched her together.

“Don’t take her anywhere dangerous, she’s only in first grade,” Pomona said.

Peves looked flustered, then got into the wall and disappeared.

“He was also a student at Hogwarts.” Pomona said to Tonks, “There are places in this castle that are not dangerous to him, but to you.”

“Is it something beyond our personal power?” Tonks asked.

Pomona thought of the three senior students in it, all of whom were quite suitable to be “nanny”.

“Ask your brothers and sisters later.” She said irresponsibly, and then went to the kitchen to get eggnog.
