Harry Potter’s Morning Light

  Chapter 121 Lights Out

   "I heard Neville say that you are very proud of him, saying that he is worthy of Frank's son. You already knew that Frank was an Auror, right?"

  Across Frank’s bed, Pomona and Mrs. Longbottom were sitting opposite each other. Compared to the last time she visited when she was in a coma, Mrs. Longbottom seemed to be older.

   "Yes." Mrs. Longbottom said tiredly.

   "Why don't you stop him from doing such a dangerous job?"

"When darkness falls, someone must come forward, Knox, I heard Charlotte call you that, but you told Neville that you are Pomona Sprout. Is that name your real name? "

   "Yes, I was living in the confidential ward at the time. Knox was for confidentiality. I have known Frank for a long time. I was also a member of the Order of the Phoenix."

  Mrs. Longbottom was not too surprised, she was petite, wearing a green suit, and she looked a bit like a leprechaun.

"I want to borrow your house, Mrs. Longbottom, as the new headquarters of the Order of the Phoenix." Pomona said straightforwardly. She remembered all the things Severus used when he invited her on Christmas. He thought he could convince her. Reason, this is self-defeating, he only needs to say, "Would you like to be my partner?" She will agree.

"You should have heard the prophecy. At the end of July, there are two boys born in the Voldemort family three times. One is Harry Potter and the other is Neville Longbottom. Dumbledore chose Harry. He is banning. Lin Li died once, and I can't let him die again."

   "Then do you think my child deserves to die?" Madam Longbottom said with a trembling voice.

"I will let him leave an heir, so that the Longbottom family will not be cut off. Dumbledore once sent me to the Black house. He hopes that I will be with Sirius Black, and if possible, leave a descendant to their family. "

  "Have you stayed, then?" Mrs. Longbottom asked with concern.

"No, Dumbledore believes in love forever, thinking that I will fall in love with Sirius just like Tonks. After all, he is so handsome and humorous, just like Frank." Pomona fiddled with the wicked chocolate in the basket. "But I failed his hopes, and I don't think I am worthy of Sirius Black."

  "How can you persuade me to accept your proposal if you say that?"

  "Do you know Hannah Albert? She was a member of DA before, like Neville. She is my student and a miss from Albert's family."

   "I am not a pureblood, Knox, as long as I can marry Neville, I don't care what her bloodline is."

"But in your heart, in fact, I still hope to find a noble lady who is born in the Holy Family like you, right." Pomona said with a smile, "Just as I said before, you look like a decent person. "

"You have a clever tongue, Knox, just like Albus Dumbledore." Mrs. Longbottom took Frank's hand. "When the mysterious man died, I thought the war was over and everything would return to normal, so I turned off the defensive magic of the old house. I did not expect that a year later the Death Eaters broke into my house and took Frank and Alice away. I had only time to take Neville away. I regretted it countless times, why I lost my vigilance. , I always talk about Neville wanting to maintain the honor of the family, but it is me who really humiliated the family because I ran away like a coward."

"You are not a coward, Mrs. Longbottom, you have protected the bloodline of the Longbottom family." Pomona said softly, "Women don't need to be strong, you teach Neville very well, he is better than Draco Malfoy ."

  ‘He said he was better than twelve Draco! "The furious old bat turns around in the cellar." Longbottom that dumb cannon blows up the cauldron! Where did he get the confidence to say that? ’

Pomona was funny thinking about the situation at the time. It was Harry’s first year as a freshman. Neville was too clumsy and was caught by Draco as the subject of the leg-locking spell. He jumped like a rabbit. Jumped back to the Gryffindor Tower. After Hermione lifted his spell, Harry gave Neville a piece of chocolate to comfort him. He told Neville, "You are better than twelve Malfoys." The words were planted in Neville’s heart, so that Neville always had a mystery of confidence when facing Master Malfoy. He happened to step on the pain of the old bat. What he hates most is the kind of inability but The arrogant Gryffindor.

   "Can you tell me what makes you so happy?" Mrs. Longbottom asked.

   "Don't worry, it's a joke among children."

   "Neville never tells me what happened at school when I got home, he answered whatever I asked, and I think Frank and Alice want to hear too."

  Pomona looked at Frank. He does not wear glasses now, does not have the vigorous temperament of his youth, but he is taken care of very well, as if he is having a long dream, and may wake up at any time.

"The doctor said that sometimes you will hear something, Frank. It is impossible for him to become an excellent wizard with Neville's magic and continue to use Longbottom's ancestral magic, but I will train him to be as brave as you. Man, I will teach him how to realize Animagus. I remember your patron saint is a lynx. What do you think of Neville becoming a lynx?"

  A lynx is a beast that looks like a cat and is much larger than a cat. If it is big enough, it can even fight a werewolf.

"He often forgets things. Many Animagus failed wizards just forget who they are and how they want to become humans. Many of these people are Aurors. They fought with werewolves and went crazy, and finally forgot. On the way back, there is a secret ward in this hospital for those people, right?"

   "Do you want Neville to be an Auror?"

   "No, he is still a professor of herbal medicine at Hogwarts, but the dean of Gryffindor is still empty. Minerva can't be the principal and dean again. He can't adapt to the life of the Auror."

Mrs. Longbottom breathed a sigh of relief.

"I know that you can change him, Professor. Although Neville went home and didn’t talk about school, he often mentioned you. I heard that you were the best dean of Hefpaff for hundreds of years. So he was not allowed to see you because you looked bad at the time, his heart has been broken once, and I don’t want to see him hurt again."

   "Then, let's take the training of the future Gryffindor Dean as our common goal, let's work hard together, Mrs. Longbottom." Pomona reached out to her.

"And he married the young lady of the Albert family." Mrs. Longbottom shook Pomona's fingertips reservedly. "If possible, I hope to start Animagus training after he gives birth to an heir. ."

  "If there is a wedding, I think there will be Gryffindor and Hefpaff former DA members. There may be Death Eaters coming to the scene. Do you remember the wedding of Fleur and Bill Weasley?"

"Oh, I really didn't expect this. It seems that Longbottom's defense is going to be strengthened." Mrs. Longbottom rubbed her nose, as if smelling the smell of a corpse, and said calmly, "I heard that the Order of the Phoenix is ​​good at Unbelievable loyalty curse, can I be a secret person?"

   "Of course, ma'am."

   "Then, can you tell me who left that lovely mark on your neck." Mrs. Longbottom pointed to Pomona's neck. "Is he also a member of the Order of the Phoenix?"

   Pomona touched her neck subconsciously.

   "Although I am old, it doesn't mean I don't know it. It is definitely not caused by dragon pox or mosquito bites."

   "That's a secret, I can't tell you now."

  "Will your secret lover affect Neville's safety?" Mrs. Longbottom asked.

   "No."

   "Okay, I won't ask again, I believe you, Professor Pomona Sprout."

   "More than Minerva?"

"If a woman can conceal your beauty for a certain purpose, then she has undoubtedly made a sacrifice, and I would never be able to change it to me. I still pay attention to dressing. Dress up."

  Looking at Grandma Neville’s dress, Pomona remembered the Bogut again, but it was a pity that she didn’t go to see it.

  "You are very good at keeping secrets, Knox, you can't confess if you don't use strong methods. Is this the reason why you were used by people?"

   "I can't tell you, ma'am."

   "Well then, I don't know what to talk about." Mrs. Longbottom said with a wry smile.

  "How about talking about the wedding? I was studying at the time and I had not attended the wedding of Frank and Alice."

  That section was undoubtedly a fond memory of Mrs. Longbottom, and she immediately started chatting endlessly.

   And Pomona listened absently, turning the ring on his right **** subconsciously.

In Dumbledore’s will, he gave the light extinguisher to Ron Weasley. It seemed to be of little use other than turning off the light, but when Ron left Harry and Hermione, he used it to turn off the light. He found them again. After the three were reunited, Severus found them with the Gryffindor sword. How did he know their three positions?

  The light extinguisher is actually very similar to a Muggle lighter, except that it is not a cheap product, but a silver one.

  He knew that Ron would go back for Hermione, even if he risked his life.

  It seems that Ron Weasley is not useless anymore, Pomona turned the ring and smiled and thought, she seemed to understand why Granger would marry Ron Weasley.
