Chapter 446 If you have to be distracted by something
Pomona closed the window and took several small potted plants on the window sill to the flower stand by the window. There was a small rattan basket hanging there, with two soft handkerchiefs padded inside, and a flower hanging on the handkerchief. A dying butterfly.
The black wings have thin golden lines on the edges. They are not very obvious under indoor light, but the patterns outlined are beautiful and mysterious. Pomona didn't know what kind of butterfly it was. Of course, the point wasn't the type of butterfly, but that it seemed to be one of her students.
"A sneeze -" A sneeze came from the room, and she looked over helplessly, "Caught a cold? Drink some hot honey water, take off your wet robe, and hang it by the fireplace. You should go there first, too. Sit for a while."
Karina yawned and moved over slowly, while Sun Zhu, who was standing in front of the bookshelf rummaging for something, only glanced slightly to the side and then turned his gaze back.
"Bamboo, Cedric, stop being busy, sit down and rest for a while. She will be fine." Pomona shouted to the two children who were busy in front of her bookshelf and desk: "You were busy working in the rain just now. You will definitely get sick if you stay here for a long time. Do you want to see Madam Pomfrey tomorrow?"
Cedric put down the dean's notes in his hand and looked at Sun Zhu, who was still flipping through the book. A few strands of hair on his forehead were wet and stuck together, and his robe was stained with dark wet marks. There was obvious worry and weariness in his eyes.
Not long ago, when Sun Zhu confirmed that the butterfly that was only half the size of her palm was the disappeared Delphine, they made a prompt decision and knocked on the door of their dean.
Pomona Sprout lives not far from the greenhouse, and she often has to worry about plants that need to be fertilized and weeded at specific times, so her schedule is irregular. After spraying insect repellent on several pots of biting cabbage in the third greenhouse and cleaning up a large patch of field mango in the corner, she returned to her residence. A few minutes later, she was knocked on the door by three fifth graders.
"Don't worry about us, it's just a little rain." Sun Zhu came over holding a thick book. As soon as he sat down, a cup of hot water was stuffed into his hand.
"Did you find any useful information?" Someone retracted his hand and looked at the thick book, "The Wizard's Psychic Guidance Manual?"
Pomona put on her glasses, looked over, and said with a smile: "Did you find this book? I thought it had to be about transfiguration or insects to help."
Sun Zhu shook his head: "In fact, we can't help her in this situation. Animagus is a magic that requires one's own efforts to succeed. We came to you tonight just to ask the dean to help us, cough cough After all, it would be terrible if Hufflepuff gets points deducted for this. Moreover, if Fina cannot recover in time, I will have to ask you to take leave for her..."
Pomona shook her head gently: "Don't worry about this, of course I know what to do for you. But, this is a very dangerous thing after all. You are only in fifth grade, why do you..."
She looked at these students who made her quite proud, and finally frowned: "I don't know what you all know and what you are worried about, but no matter what you have to face in the future, you must cherish it." You, don’t be disrupted by enemies you haven’t seen yet.”
"Professor Sprout." The girl's voice was not loud, but clear and firm. "Don't worry, I know your worries. Please believe that we did not mess up our position, let alone act too hastily. Although Fina did take some risks today, But we made a lot of efforts and preparations before that. You see, I actually think she has succeeded, but she is a little too immersed in it now, so she hasn’t changed back.”
Karina swallowed a few mouthfuls of hot water, then crossed her arms and moved over: "Yes, Dean, I believe Fina will be fine. The current situation is just a normal deviation. Who would have thought that she would She has become so small, otherwise we might have found her long ago, but I'm sure every Animagus will be in trouble when she transforms for the first time!"
"Oh, not just Animagus, I also mean many other things." Pomona blinked, "You are now in the fifth grade, which is the busiest and most fulfilling year. If you have to be distracted by something, It should also be for..."
She looked at the black-haired boy who was looking at her quietly, and he immediately completed her sentence for her: "For the o.wL.s exam, or Quidditch, or working as a prefect?"
"Anyway, we shouldn't worry about anything that is beyond the scope of students' capabilities. Those should be left to the principal and professors to worry about. Not to mention there is the Ministry of Magic, and adult wizards are not just decorations." The black-haired girl next to him chuckled and continued. After speaking, she faced the helpless look of her dean, and she winked mischievously, "Look, we all understand the truth, and you have advised us, so don't worry about us anymore. I know what to do." Do what you shouldn’t do. Besides, we are already in fifth grade, so we should always be prepared. If something happens, the other party won’t care how old we are. It’s better to do something than nothing.”
"I should be happy, you are a child with ideas." Pomona sighed, "So, what are you going to do now?"
Sun Zhu raised the book in his hand and said, "Go and give that little butterfly some psychological counseling. Tell her not to be lazy and come back quickly to work hard with us."
"Hey, are you sure she can hear us now?" Karina leaned over and said, "To be honest, I don't even know if she is still awake. If a cat like Professor McGonagall That's easy to judge, but as for Butterfly... Bamboo, will the book in your hand be useful? "
"Perhaps, I know there is one..." Cedric hesitated for a moment. In fact, he was just thinking about whether to use Senior Tonks's potion for Delphine to use, but Sun Zhu seemed to know He wanted to say something, but he only raised his eyebrows slightly and made him swallow his words.
Fortunately, the other two people in the room didn't notice and were still watching Sun Zhu's actions.
Sun Zhu turned the book in his hand to a certain page, raised his eyes and said to the three people in front of him: "Actually, I know that being able to become a butterfly is a relaxing and joyful thing for Fina. She was once so She longed to become an Animagus because she had long wanted to live a different identity, so that she would not have to face the inexplicable family relationships and bear the sad past. She has finally succeeded. If we don't call her back, She may really not want to continue being Delphine."
Cedric frowned and was about to say something when he heard Karina shout loudly: "How could it be? Fina won't leave us behind. She's just a little tired and resting, right?"
"Who knows, maybe she had some sweet dream and didn't want to wake up."
Pomona pushed up her glasses and said nothing, just looking at them with a faint smile.
"Dong dong dong."
There was a slight knock on the door, and Cedric opened the door one step ahead of his dean.
"Professor Sprout..." Outside the door was a soaked girl. She lowered her head slightly. She looked tired and her voice was full of confusion. "I'm glad you haven't rested yet. I'm sorry to disturb you. , but I don’t know if I will give it to Hufflepuff if I go back to the dormitory now..."
The girl failed to finish her words, because Karina, who was even more confused than she was, said in shock: "Oh my God, Fina, why are you here?"
