Chapter 617 Women's Opponents

"I like your style of dressing much better than Molly. It looks very retro." Hermione and Pomona chatted while walking on the street full of red lanterns. "She always wears a wizard robe, Fleur. Because of this, I had a fight with her."

"Thank you, this is the style of Audrey Hepburn." Pomona looked at her woolen coat, which she bought last time when she was shopping with Narcissa Malfoy, a black double-breasted skirt jacket. Hepburn's consistent minimalist style. She has a flat chest and good proportions like Pomona, but Hepburn is much taller, and only high-order stores can make clothes that fit Pomona's figure and look good." Someone told me that if you don’t know how to dress like a Muggle, follow the star on the poster, and there will always be a black dress in the closet."

   "Do you plan to like dancing with Professor Snape at the Christmas ball in a black dress?" Hermione opened her mouth in surprise.

   "Of course not." Pomona shook her head, "How strange it looks for two people to wear black."

  That will become a new round of nightmare for the students. Thinking about that scene, it is really terrifying.

  "Who is the one who told you to learn how to wear celebrities? Mrs. Malfoy?" Hermione pointedly said, "Her dress is tasteful even among Muggles."

  Pomona became alert.

"On the day of Fleur's wedding, Death Eaters attacked the venue. I Apparated to London with Ron and Harry. At that time, we were all wearing dresses. Fortunately, I had replacement clothes in my pocket." I just said inadvertently, "I don’t know why, but I have a hunch. I prepared Harry’s invisibility cloak and some necessary travel materials in advance, but I didn’t expect it to be used. ."

   "Tell me about the defensive magic that you mentioned just now. Are you sure the werewolf didn't notice you?"

"He was from the arresting party. At the time, he was just a step away from me and he could get it as soon as he reached out, and they also had a child with him." Hermione said as if lost in memory, "In the beginning we didn't know the Horcrux belt. The influence that came was that Harry was carrying the locket until he could not even use the patron to protect the three of us before taking it in turns. I don’t know how much time was hiding, maybe a few weeks, maybe a few days. Every time we don’t stay in the same place for a long time, I prepared a lot of things but didn’t prepare food. We even stole a farm. Ron was used to the three meals a day prepared by house elves. Hunger made his temper. It’s very bad, coupled with the influence of the Horcrux, he became very annoying. It wasn’t until we got the food that we realized how happy it is to have scrambled eggs and toast.”

"it's already over……"

"You don't understand." Hermione clutched her neck upset. "The topics we talked about during that time were always repeated, which was worse than Ron's bad temper, because we didn't get any new information. When I found out about the arresting party, I didn’t even know who they were. I just thought they were very dangerous. I stood still and didn’t dare to move. Then Ron went home. I knew from him that what I met that day was The arresting party, this is the most intolerable for me. During the time I was staying at home with Molly, this was what made me most painful. I had no way to get in touch with new information. I could only listen to Ron and Arthur. I’m not like you, I’m not like you, I can be a housewife with peace of mind, even living in isolation for several years, I dare say you must feel that you were very happy during that time, right?"

  Hermione is right, she really thinks that, even if she and Severus are not busy kissing, there are endless topics that seem to be seldom repeated.

"You are very happy, especially when you beat Professor Snape. It reminds me of the time I was in school. I used to hit him with a book." Hermione wiped her tears. "But now there are none, I don’t know. What went wrong."

  "Do you want to domestic violence against Ron?" Pomona asked.

   "No!" Hermione screamed, "Why do you think so?"

   "Then why do you always want to beat him?"

  Hermione was speechless.

  "You were friends before you became a couple and got married. How did you be friends?"

  "Prompt him to study with Harry."

"No! It was you who took care of each other. He and Harry saved you from the trolls together. You helped them with your wisdom. Leave them alone with those **** cartoons. You know how I endured Severus's office. Are the animal carcasses soaked in the solution here? Ignore them, Ron is just as difficult to change as Severus."

  It’s just that Ron is lazy, and Severus is addicted to black magic. According to the doctrine, laziness is an original sin, which is as difficult to eradicate as black magic.

  Of course, Pomona did not say these words.

   "You always think Professor Snape is very similar to Ron. When did you discover that you are not a simple ‘friend’ to him?" Hermione asked.

"how about you?"

"I asked Ron when he found out. He told me that it was because I agreed to Victor's invitation to attend the prom. He felt jealous and discovered his feelings for me." Hermione smiled smugly. .

   "It's him to you, not you to him."

   "Has Professor Snape ever been jealous because of you?" Hermione asked reluctantly.

Pomona thought of Sirius Black and Cedric. He was jealous of many men who were handsomer than him by her side, but he was not jealous of Lucius Malfoy, the beautiful man full of classical beauty. What do you think?

"If I did not promise Victor, Ron would not feel jealous. I might continue to maintain this kind of friendship with him. I might have missed it in my life. I actually always wanted to stay in school, even as a teacher of Defense Against the Dark Arts. Okay, it was his unrest that made me unable to calm down. Later, he left for his parents and left Harry and me. I know many girls like Harry, but I really don’t feel that way for him. He is like It’s my brother, and he thinks I’m his sister. Nothing happened even if I was alone with him."

   "Oh." Pomona was taken aback, she didn't expect this at all.

"I'm very afraid that Rita Kist will grab this time and write silly things. It will not only ruin my family, but also affect Harry and Ginny. The point is that I can't defend myself. I told you I Secret, can you tell me some information?"

"What do you want to know?"

   "January 9th is the professor's birthday. How did you celebrate it?"

   "Why do you want to know so much?"

"Someone has checked that Christine, who suddenly appeared at Malfoy's house from France, changed everything after she appeared." Hermione said, "She also went shopping with Mrs. Malfoy, and later you went to the department store to buy clothes. , Why do you want to buy evening gowns, professor? You are not wearing ceremonial robes at wedding ceremonies. You know the message of calling the night, I think Hefpaff will not produce such extreme anti-Muggle elements, Slytherin is easier Come out, Principal Snape used to be the dean, can you tell me which of his students joined Huanye?"

  "Are you still struggling with this question?"

   "I need the truth!" Hermione wrapped her hands around her chest, as if asking the bottom line, "Will Huanye attack us today?"

   "I don't know!" Pomona stretched out her hand, "I don't know much."

   "Then help us figure it out."

  Marcus Flint did get into trouble, but Pomona felt that Severus would be very upset if she knew that she had betrayed his student.

  He is very talented. Like Pomona and Albus, he wants to give Marcus a chance. Marcus’s lightning magic will be of great use in the Muggle world full of electricity.

  "Do you know the story of Cain and Abel? Hermione." Pomona asked.

   "I know."

"Then do you know what happened after Cain was banished? Legend has it that after being banished for killing his brother, Abel and Cain met again. They were walking in the desert and they recognized each other from far away. , Because both of them are very tall.

  The two brothers sat on the floor, lighted a bonfire, and ate. Like people who feel tired at sunset, they are silent. An unnamed star appeared in the sky. In the light of the fire, Cain saw the scar on Abel's forehead being smashed by a stone, and the bread he had just gotten to his mouth fell off. He asked Abel to forgive him for his crime.

   Abel replied, "Did you kill me, or did I kill you? I can't remember; we stay together now, just like before."

   "Now I know you did forgive me," Cain said, "because forgetting means forgiving. I also want to try to forget."

   Abel slowly said: "That's it. As long as the guilt persists, the guilt will continue."

   "Now I know that you did forgive me," Cain said, "because forgetting means forgiving, I also want to try to forget." Will you forgive the person who made a mistake and wants to repent? "

  Hermione could not answer this question.

  This is much better than making a random promise but ultimately failing to do it.

"I won't tell you." Pomona said in a deep voice. "Even if you tell me your secret, it is very unfair for an innocent person to be wronged, but it is the same as finding a guilty person for someone else's mistake. Unfair, this is cheating, Hermione! We, Hefpuff believe in fairness and justice, and you should do what you should do."

   "I heard that you lived in Saint Mungo after being tortured by the Unforgivable Curse, right? Who did that to you?" Hermione asked.

   "What? Do you want to interrogate me with the drill spell?"

   "After so many things, I have changed. I am no longer the girl in that school." Hermione stared into Pomona's eyes and said, "If the situation is so serious that I will use it."

  Pomona felt terrified, but she remained calm.

   "If you use it, what is the difference between you and the dark wizard?"

  Hermione sneered.

   "What's the difference? We won't ruin other people's weddings. You originally wanted to steal the time converter by the chance of your wedding, right?"

   "No, I didn't think so..."

   "But Lucius Malfoy doesn't think so, so be sober, Pomona, they are using you!"

  "Then how do you know that you are not being used?" Pomona immediately countered, "Do you really think that you are important? Miss Know-all?"

  Pomona could almost hear Hermione gritting her teeth.

"We will be very busy today. I don't have time to argue with you." Pomona said tiredly, really strange. She obviously drank the potion, and she was not as good as the little girl who didn't drink the potion. "With me you have to If there is no news, you can go."

   "Don't forget who you are, Pomona Sprout." Hermione reminded before leaving, "You have become so hard that I can recognize you."

   Immediately after Hermione’s apparition, Pomona was not in the mood to think about where she had gone.

In the early morning, the fog was thicker. She walked alone in this thick London fog, humming a nursery rhyme softly, and many people all over the world would sing this song, because the lyrics were tossed over and over again and it was just one sentence: London Bridge is about to collapse. , Is going to collapse.
