Harry Potter Morning Light

Chapter 232
Hogsmeade's three broomsticks are public places, and any fireplace can be connected to it. After Pomona, Hermione and Amos Digory came out of one of the fireplaces, they found that the business here was not as good as before. desolate.

There weren't many students staying at school during the New Year's holiday, and besides, Three Broomsticks didn't run a small hotel. After quickly sweeping the lobby on the first floor and not finding Draco, Pomona took the two of them directly up the wooden stairs to the second floor.

"I've never been to the second floor." Hermione said excitedly, "What's on the second floor?"

"In our time, the second floor was where the Gobstone Club met." Amos said with a smile, "just like you held a DA meeting at the Pig's Head Bar."

"Isn't the Gobstones Club the name of a Quidditch team?" asked Hermione.

"You're talking about Headmaster Snape's mother's background, right? Obviously, being a Quidditch player is much cooler than being a Gobstone. Even though it's a small club, Hogwarts has its own high school." Irene Prince is our captain, she almost joined the official Gobstone Club, we were meeting here at the time, and the Three Broomsticks didn’t exist at that time.” Amos pointed to the second floor The room on the right says "Then it was changed to the Wizard Chess Club, what is it now?"

Pomona pushed open the door Amos was pointing at, and Draco Malfoy was sitting in front of a roaring fireplace drinking mead. He really looked like the villain, with his platinum hair in black It is more eye-catching against the backdrop of formal clothes.

The most obvious feature of Severus is the hooked nose, which is exactly the same as Tobia's nose. Irene winced in front of him, but he would be happy as long as he said something nice, that Muggle man He is very good at dealing with women, even if he doesn't look very good, there are many women around him.

"Hello, Granger." Master Malfoy looked arrogant as if I had caught you, with a malicious smile hidden on his face.

"Draco." Pomona threatened with a cold face, "How could you bring cockroaches here in such a cold place."

This room was rebuilt from an attic, with a skylight directly opened on the triangular roof, and even the cold-blooded bird and snake with a big fire burning in the fireplace became less energetic.

When the weather is right, the bird and snake can't lose to the fire dragon at all, but not in winter.

"You let me play with it." Draco immediately retorted like a child, "And who is he?"

"Cedric's father, Amos Diggory." Pomona took off the yellow and gray Hufflepuff scarf around her neck. "He also works in the Department of Magical Beasts."

"What's your plan, Malfoy." Hermione folded her hands and looked at Draco warily.

"That's right, tell us quickly." Pomona said dryly as if reciting lines, "That's what you told me in your father's study!"

Draco was utterly confused.

"Little furry thing," said Pomona angrily. "You said you could use it to solve Gringotts security. Tell us how it is."

Draco realized in an instant. He pretended to take a sip of mead and said, "I plan to use the three-headed dog to guard Gringotts. Dogs are used to watch the house."

"Since you think of it, just do it directly, why tell me."

"It's not easy to convince that half-giant to hand over his dog. It's up to you." Draco smiled maliciously. "You let the dragon go."

"Ah, I know about it." Amos looked at Hermione and said, "The goblins have come to the Ministry of Magic to protest a few times, asking us how to solve the security problem at Gringotts, and they look very angry." Amos continued.

"I heard you're good at the history of magic. Shall I remind you of the details of the goblin rebellion?" Pomona asked.

Hermione fell silent now.

"Not only must Hagrid be persuaded to hand over the dog, but also let it fight the dragon, so that the goblins can rest assured after seeing the strength of the stupid dog, and they will agree to negotiate with us. The war reparations emptied the treasury of the Death Eaters family. , the poor ghosts probably haven’t seen so much money when they grow up so big.”

"Malfoy!" Pomona reminded him.

But Draco was still disgusted, and Hermione had no expression on her face.

"Sit down and talk, what would you like to drink? How about butterbeer, Hermione?" Pomona asked.

"Have you learned Death Eater flying skills? Malfoy." Hermione asked. "I heard that Death Eaters are also divided into peripheral and core members. Whether you have learned flying skills is a sign of full membership."

Tom Riddle is indeed a genius. Even wizards have to borrow tools or animals to fly in the sky, but he has opened up a whole new field. The way of flying into black smoke without using any tools is really cool.

"I didn't," Malfoy said grimly, "but it's not because I'm not qualified, it's because I don't have time to learn."

"Oh, my God." Pomona's headache was splitting, and Draco seemed to think that having the Death Eater symbol on his arm was not enough trouble, and he was still so stubborn at this time.

"Harry used the Unforgivable Curse, too, and we met in a cafe when I was trying to break into the Lestrange family vault at Gringotts, disguised as Bellatrix, to destroy the Hufflepuff gold cup. Anthony Dorokhov, Ron said to 'deal with' him, it was Harry who said to make him forget that memory with Forget it, and we have acted in the same way as you when we arrived, and I have been doing it all these years I was thinking, is everything we do just and legal? And judging from what I have encountered later, Malfoy, you are indeed annoying, but you are not a bad person, at least you are not the same as Fenrir. Let the children leave their parents at a young age and suffer the pain of being transformed into a werewolf. When we first went to the Forbidden Forest, you said that you are very afraid of werewolves. I thought you were ridiculous at the time. Later I I didn't know you were ashamed to be afraid until I saw Professor Lupin transform. He turned into a completely different person from the Lupine I knew. A monster. If Buckbeak hadn't saved us, Harry and me Didn't know what was going to happen, so I think it's me who should apologize in this matter, for my naivety and ignorance."

Pomona didn't expect Hermione to say that. She looked at Draco, and Master Malfoy didn't expect that the room was silent for a while.

"The Carlo family is bankrupt, Granger, there are several Death Eaters in that family, but not everyone is, I have never seen such a brazen person, as long as someone in the family dies in the war, they can claim compensation, They value money more than the pain of losing a loved one." Draco said after a moment of silence.

"Maybe what they value is not money, but to let them live a life as miserable as their own." Amos Diggory said coldly, he did ask for a large sum of money from Dumbledore, but Pomona didn't think he was any happier.

"Not everyone is like you, old man, I've seen the faces of those people, they gather at other people's houses and clamor to lose money, and when they see gold coins, they laugh happily, and even celebrate like a festival. "Draco smiled sarcastically like his godfather. "This is the victory you have been waiting for. I was rejected by the Death Eaters, but you don’t even try to find out who the murderer is, as long as you have the Dark Mark on your hands, you will all be responsible, how dare you say that my godfather is on your side.”

"His Patronus led Harry to find the Sword of Gryffindor!" Hermione said angrily. "Ron used that sword to destroy the Horcrux, Slytherin's locket!"

"Enough!" Pomona stopped the two from continuing to quarrel, "Stop being naive like a child, Hermione, and you, Draco, and the Weasleys also died, and they didn't ask you for war compensation. "

"That's right, we're here to talk about things." Amos breathed warm air into his palm, "It's really cold, how about some butter beer? My treat."

"I'd like a drink," Pomona said immediately.

"Mine will have ginger ale," said Hermione listlessly.

"What about you? The Malfoy boy." Amos Digory said very bluntly.

Master Malfoy took a sip of the mead, and Amos Digory swore and left the room.

"She's my godmother." Draco said to Hermione triumphantly. "Not only do I have parents, but I also have godparents. Who else do you have? Willy's parents?"

"Shut up, Malfoy!" said Hermione angrily, pointing at his nose. "I'm the best student in the year!"

"So what, you are now an orphan without a father or a mother."

"I have grown up, unlike you, I am still under the guardianship of my parents."

"Oh, it seems you don't know that I was fighting in the North Sea on Christmas Day. If those foolish Aurors didn't listen to my reminder, there would be no escape from Azkaban."

"There is no escape because there are too many prisoners!"

"Come on, Granger, when did you start writing the Daily Prophet? That article was written by Rita Kiest."

Pomona found a sofa to lie down on. After taking Polyjuice Potion, her body didn't hurt as much as before, but the feeling of overdraft still existed, and she needed to rest.

It was the first time she had heard that Harry had used the Unforgivable Curse, and it was impossible to get any stain on the perfect savior in the newspapers.

She looked at her swollen belly at the moment, it was like a full-term pregnancy, but unfortunately there was nothing inside.In fact, even knowing that she was pregnant, he didn't become more careful. They were too keen on the time when the two of them were alone. The child was an accident, and they didn't feel very happy because of her arrival.

"I'm sorry, Lily," she whispered, both for her daughter and for the red-haired girl.

Hufflepuff's rule No. 90 eight, if failure is death, then we can also become a lion and go forward bravely, become a poisonous snake to achieve our goal, or look for the goal like an eagle and never give up.

She wanted that man, so she turned into a poisonous snake disguised as a badger, she was really a bad woman, he had seen through it, so he could easily pull her down with him, and commit another crime different from killing original sin.

They are all sinners.
