Chapter 592 Thorns and Roses

   "The Dark Lord is a master of the mind. Once he finds out a lie to him, he will kill me, even if the white wizard sacrificed his life in order to regain the trust of the Dark Lord."

  Before coming, Severus gave her a short training. He didn't seem very happy, and he didn't even have the confidence to control everything in class.

   "My only choice at the time was to tell the truth, and I must have evidence to prove that I was telling the truth."

Severus was talking about the Battle of the Seven Potters. George lost an ear and was hit by his kamikaze invisibly, but George felt that Severus wanted to kill him, but he was sensible at the time. I have to say nothing.

"It’s the same with you this time. You reminded Arthur that George still believes in you. A person who is really good at lying will not all be lies, but only use them at critical moments. You have to feed them. of……"

   "Why are you talking about Piggy?" she said nervously.

   "Don't forget what Dumbledore did to Potter, how can you forgive him so easily." Severus sarcastically said, "Whatever he does is a ‘necessary sacrifice’, right?"

   "So, I want to tell them the truth." Pomona didn't want to continue the discussion on this topic, and forcibly changed the topic.

   "What's the truth?" He smiled weirdly.

   "What do you mean?"

   "Oh, dear, your opponent is not the Dark Lord, but a few students. Can't you even deal with them?"

  He laughed mockingly, as if underestimating her.

  Of course she won’t be so easy to follow his aggressive skills. Who does he think she is?

   "Damn viper." Pomona complained and took off her hood.

  At this time, she has come to the Weasley trick shop. There are so many children playing here on weekdays, and Pomona really wants to inform their parents.

  The Weasley brothers used to be the most popular kid king in the school, especially when they made a big fuss at Hogwarts when they left, and used fireworks to clean up Umbridge things, they became legends.

  But many of the things they sell are prohibited, especially the powerful ecstasy of the Wonder Witch series.

  Now she feels like a double agent. What Severus did at Malfoy Manor back then was similar to what she is now. Whether Hermione or George are both her students, how difficult can it be?

   "You can do it, come on!" She clenched her fist to cheer for herself, but what she heard in her ears was her banging heartbeat.

  Of course, George and Hermione would not kill her like Voldemort, but they would no longer trust her after being exposed.

Many people think that Henry VI was an incompetent and mediocre king. His court corruption made the efforts of Henry V in vain. In fact, his personal character was noble. He founded Eton College and Cambridge University. .

  As an ordinary person, Henry can be said to be a saint, but as a king, it is very lame politically. Being a king can't just have virtue.

Characters and capable people are extremely rare in this world. It is not just Muggles. Severus's character is definitely not noble. The nature of what he did to her by the Black Lake is actually very bad, even a dark wizard. Won't do that.

  He was sure that she was not indifferent to him, he was that kind of person, and would hurt someone who loves him impulsively or accidentally.

   Dealing with this kind of capable, but sometimes weak moral people, even people like Mondungus Fletcher who have no sense of morality at all need skills. These people are impossible to become saints. If you want to prevent them from becoming Judas, you need enough profit to attract them. Severus loves Lily very much, but he is even more afraid of being imprisoned and wasting twelve years of life like Sirius.

As long as he can escape from prison, he will work for Albus Dumbledore. In extraordinary times, he needs to use extraordinary means to activate extraordinary people. The "king" is not an ordinary person, and ordinary people cannot control capable and ambitious subordinates, Phoenix. The people in the club are too kind, I'm afraid they can't accept the fact that Albus might give some people as abandoned sons to Severus, and let him betrayed to Death Eaters in exchange for trust.

  Double agent is a very dirty job, and even Severus eventually became Albus’s abandoned son.

  The heart of the “chess player” is often cold. Voldemort has such a nature, but Albus wants to force himself to abandon his former students. Pomona can’t do it. Who makes her a softhearted woman?

  She followed the stairs to the second-floor meeting room. The door opened before it knocked. It was Passi Weasley who opened the door.

   Then I saw George and Hermione, and a reasonable and unexpected person appeared.

  The Minister of Magic, Kingsley Shaker, he looked a lot more haggard than when he was an Auror, and he did not keep smiling as often as in the photo of the Daily Prophet.

   "Come in." Kingslai said expressionlessly, sitting on the sofa, "You are so noticeable."

   Pomona pulled in with her cloak, and Parcy closed the door when she entered the house.

   "Mrs. Weasley told me you have important information?"

   "You are too busy to say hello now? Kingsley." Pomona said coldly, "I'm not yours."

   "You didn't invite me to your wedding, Pomona, because you first thought that our friendship hadn't reached the point where it needed to be reminiscent of the past."

  Pomona took out the pocket watch and moved the flame pointer to the little monster's head.

  "We are now in a cooperative relationship. After all, I am not a full member of the Order of the Phoenix. I need benefits in exchange."

"what do you want?"

  "Stop continuing to discriminate against people with the Dark Mark, and don’t bother with Malfoy."

  George sneered.

   "Sounds like a Slytherin woman."

  "Forcing people to desperate, they will find another way. The wealth of the pure-blood family is very attractive, but the poisonous snake also has the last resort. Be careful of being bitten."

   "You told us not to discriminate against the people marked by the Dark Demon, then why didn't they see you when they discriminated against Muggle seeds and half-blood wizards?" George immediately fought back unceremoniously.

  As said in Infernal Affairs, sooner or later, you will have to pay back when you come out. The Death Eaters used to discriminate against the "mudblood" and now they lose. They are discriminated against by the wizarding world. Their situation is worse than ordinary Slytherin.

   "If you don't agree, then I have nothing to say." Pomona turned around and planned to leave.

   "What news do you want to give us?" Kingsley stopped her.

   "At least one Horcrux has not been found, and I believe that the seventh Horcrux is now in Wormtail, Pete Pediru's hands."

  No one spoke.

   "I remember you said that Pete Perdrew is dead, Hermione." Kingsley turned her gaze to Hermione, her face pale.

   "Yes." Hermione seemed to be cold, rubbing her arms continuously, "He choked himself to death..."

   "How is that possible." Passy interrupted her in disbelief.

  If a person commits suicide, he will never pinch himself, even a madman, because the body will obey the commands of the brain.

  When the brain is hypoxic, its first reaction is to "let go", which is why people who commit suicide need to borrow ropes and external forces.

  Unless that hand belongs to someone else, only someone else can choke another person to death.

   "Don't you think that the intelligence space cave you mentioned is coming?" Kingsley said.

"Wormtail sacrificed his left hand when he resurrected the Dark Lord in the cemetery of Riddle's house. They killed a man, Cedric Diggory. Then the Dark Lord made a fake hand for Pete. I think you should You know, the Dark Lord is superstitious about the number '7'. Now you and I know that Harry is the last Horcrux, but the Dark Lord doesn't know..."

   "The Dark Lord? Do you call him the Dark Lord?" George smiled weirdly. "I can't recognize you anymore, Professor."

"Whether it is the Dark Lord, the Mysterious Man or Voldemort, that is the same name. Remember what Dumbledore said? He said that people should be scared. First of all, start with the inability to describe something correctly. I don't want to call him a mysterious man. , I don’t want to call him Voldemort, that name has a spell, you all know, I don’t want to argue with you about a little thing, George." Pomona turned her gaze to Kingsley. "We know that Harry is a Horcrux, the Dark Lord I don’t know, because the death curse was bounced back is an'accident'. In order to make up the seven Horcruxes, he is bound to make another one. There is the soul of the Dark Lord in that hand, so that it can kill Pete, Dumbledore. Duo himself said that it was an accident that Harry became a Horcrux, but I believe that Harry is not a Horcrux. His mother sacrificed her life to protect him. A life cannot be sacrificed twice. Without a victim, the Dark Lord cannot be killed. Cut your own soul..."

   "But he can understand Snakeman, and he has a connection with Voldemort." Hermione interrupted her again.

"Before Henry Potter, the Potter family had always been a pure-blood family, and the pure-blood wizards were married to each other. It is possible that Harry just inherited the lineage of the Gunter family. You can look up the family tree of the Potter family. "Pomona looked at Hermione and said blankly, "As for the spiritual connection between him and Harry, it was in the fifth grade. At that time, the Dark Lord was resurrected with Harry's blood, and the twins were telepathic. Am I right, George?"

George, who was in a daze, recovered and looked at her blankly.

   "Who buried Pete Perdrew's body?" Kingsley asked Passy.

  Passy shook her head blankly.

   "You said, you were attacked by Pete." Hermione then asked again "How is that possible?"

"That was last winter. He looked down and fell in the snow, as if dead." Pomona recalled the scene at that time and said, "He smells stinky. You three remember what was on Quirrell Is that garlic smell?"

   "So, he is possessed by Voldemort now?" Hermione asked with a pale face.

   "I believe he has become a corpse, a zombie or something."

Zombies are a kind of living dead. Whether the corpse belongs to the living dead is still unknown. It is written in the textbook "Black Magic: Self-Defense Guide". The characteristics of zombies are gray skin and emit a kind of rottenness. The smell, the smell on Quirrell's body is.

  He looks normal, but his skin color can be changed by blindfolding.

  She saw Pete that day. His face was so bad that Pomona thought it was cold.

  In six years, Pete hasn't turned into bones. Where is he hiding?

   "I remember that the Horror Journey Travel Agency launched a travel project to hike along the zombie trail. Will the Dwarf be hidden there?" Passy said suddenly.

   "What?" Pomona and Hermione exclaimed together.

   Sometimes, Muggles have to marvel at the strange hobbies of wizards.

The best way to hide a leaf is to hide it in the forest. In order to maintain the "vitality" of those "living dead", travel agencies will maintain them, so that Pete's corpse can last for several years under the blessing of magic. Doesn't rot anymore.

   Pomona subconsciously clutched her stomach, because of her kindness, she lost her daughter and even her own home.

  If a person is kind and easy to fall victim, six years of happy life made her lose her vigilance, and the person who should have protected her didn't know where she went at a critical moment.

The house casts the Curse of Fidelity, and you won’t find it from the outside, but Severus’s arm is marked with the Dark Mark, Voldemort and the Death Eaters can feel it. He comes and goes every time he goes to the Black House. Hurry, never go to the kitchen for dinner like everyone else.

If he stays there for too long, the headquarters of the Order of the Phoenix will be discovered, and Albus will place her there, so he doesn’t have to worry that Severus will give out the address. Severus will find all reasons to explain. It would be safe for Harry to stay there.

She rescued Pete, and the zombie Pete followed her back to the house where they lived in seclusion. If Severus did not go home, Pete would not be able to find the house, but Severus never left inside, so the house Was discovered.

  He wants a stable life, but others do not give it to him. His life is destined to be turbulent.

  A smart decision made when I was young and ignorant has to be repaid for the rest of my life, just like a stain, once it is branded, it can’t be washed away anymore.

   "Arrange the Auror to search that place, don't use Calvin's people." Kingsley said to Passy.

   "How about letting Ron and Harina's old partner deal with Horcruxes?" Pomona suggested, "You have other things to do."

   "What else do you want to say?"

"The moon will be full in less than three days. The werewolf is about to start activities again. Remember Basil Fleck? He is the shortest minister in power. He resigned after two months in power after the goblin and the werewolf rebelled. , I heard that it was very unpleasant for you to negotiate with the Fairy Brotherhood in 1999."

  "Do you think the goblin wants to partner with the werewolf?" Kingsley asked.

  "They used magic wands, where did they come from? I saw Ollivander hadn't rebuilt on the way just now. What happened?" Pomona asked aggressively.

   "You don't need to worry about this, what else do you want to say?" Kingsley asked gloomily.

  "The agent came back with news that the werewolves are most likely to attack Chinatown this time. The Chinese like to carry a lot of cash with them, and they will eat very fat after the Spring Festival. Liverpool and London Chinatown may be targets."

   "We already know the news." Kingsley said, "They are not willing to cooperate with us."

  "You can find someone who can help you contact overseas Chinese in Liverpool." Pomona put Zhang Tao's business card on the low table.

   "What about London Chinatown?"

"I think, I can only wish them luck." Pomona said quietly, now her heart is calm and she doesn't feel any guilty conscience. "Roswell Real Estate is going to demolish their house, and they are still holding signs. protest."

   "Compared with Liverpool, London Chinatown is the easier target to attack." George frowned.

"London is a very attractive target, and Chinatown is still chaotic, but don’t forget that there was a riot at London Bridge last month. The police in Scotland Yard are very alert. Liverpool has not experienced an attack for many years. , I have relaxed my vigilance, and Chinatown in London is mostly young people, while Liverpool is the elderly. It is much easier to deal with them than with the young."

  Kingsley was lost in thought.

   "Hermione, come here." Pomona waved to her.

  She hesitated and walked to Pomona's side.

  "This is your speech. I changed it a bit."

   "Why is it with you?" Hermione asked.

"Do you remember the Potter Lookout Station? You can find Li Jordan to co-launch a radio show, like Roosevelt’s fireside talk, to explain to the people your question about improving the treatment of house elves, and the house we lived in before, You can let Arthur and the others live temporarily, I think Bill knows how to use the Courageous Faithful Curse, right?"

   "Why are you doing this?" Passy suddenly asked, "What good is this for you?"

   "Why are you here again? Pasi, have you found a chance for promotion again?" Pomona asked without looking back.

   "No, I came back because my family needs me, is my dad's attack irrelevant to you?" Passy asked.

   "Not all Slytherins are bad guys, we are short of manpower now!" Pomona roared back.

  "How about you find someone to help us?" Kingsley stroked his eyebrows with his little fingers and looked at her thoughtfully. "I heard that many people were killed in the Forbidden Forest last time."

   "That's your problem." Pomona said coldly, turning her head to continue discussing the house elves with Hermione.

  Facts have proved that she is also a good actor and liar.
