Chapter 101 Give up halfway

"What should I call you? Professor."

In George's office, he served black tea to the two ladies, and he didn't hold back just because one of them was Narcissa Malfoy.

"Christine, a girl from France." Pomona took a sip from her teacup without hesitation. "Is there any sugar and milk? George?"

"Now you can easily recognize me, after all, I'm the only one left." George didn't move, looking at her with his hands behind his back, "Do you think I've changed a lot after six years?"

"You look fine, how are the others?"

"Bill is still alive and hasn't turned into a werewolf so far. As you can see, Ron, he is helping me in my shop. Patsy and Audrey are married and are now moving out of the Burrow." George didn't seem to want to say too much, and said Nothing was said about Hermione and Fleur.

"Where are your parents?"

"Still suffering from the loss of Fred, but it's better than before. Mum keeps trying to keep herself busy. It's a distraction. She keeps urging Bill and Ron to have a baby so I can take care of it while I'm young. .”

Narcissa took out her handkerchief again and covered her nose.

"If it makes you feel better to say that, Malfoy's house has been searched several times by Dean Thomas, and now Draco Malfoy dare not even go home."

"How are they going to make me feel better? We're just strangers." George looked at Narcissa expressionlessly, and then turned his gaze to Pomona. "Is this the purpose of your visit? Peace talks?"

"No, it's to prevent conflicts from intensifying." Pomona put down the teacup, "Do you think that the actions of the hook hat are consistent with Dumbledore's original intention?"

"You never told me what his original intention was. After all, I was still a child in your eyes at that time."

"I never thought of you and Fred as children. I taught you how to fight, just like men."

"But you didn't teach us anything but Apparation."

"If you are not expelled, I can continue to teach you at Hogwarts. You have also seen the situation at that time. There is a student in a college who needs me."

"I heard Sirius say that you are biased. I can see it now. You love Professor Snape, right? So you are helping Slytherin speak now."

"How dare you talk to me like that!" Pomona stood up angrily.

George sneered, "They want to kill each other, professor, it's not a joke. If it wasn't for Dumbledore, one of them was already dead, what were you doing at that time?"

"It's a battle between men."

"You can't intervene, right? Then why do you want to intervene now?"

Pomona sensed George's pent-up anger.

"You think Fred's death was my fault?"

"We're not ready, you're our teacher, can't you see that?"

"What about the rest?"

"Everyone was busy after the Battle of the Ministry of Magic, and no one came to take care of us, so we opened this store." George spread his hands, "You never visited once, why did you suddenly appear after so many years? "

"I want to make sure you still have the will."

"What will?"

"Willing to dance." Pomona said coldly, "There is another war coming, are you ready this time?"

George froze for a moment, and asked in disbelief, "Voldemort is going to be resurrected again?"

"It's even worse. It's a matter of life and death for human beings. Don't you feel that after repeated wars, you have suffered a lot of damage and haven't recovered yet?" Pomona pressed her step by step, "Are you married and have children? George?"

"Are you kidding?" George didn't believe it. He went around behind the desk, took out a pack of cigarettes from the drawer, and smoked like no one else.

"Bill was attacked by a werewolf, and Mrs. Malfoy lived with them for a while. Tell me how you feel, Mrs. Malfoy." Pomona sat back on the sofa, because it wasn't the one who made a fuss in Umbridge's classroom on the spur of the moment. For her, dropping out of school is not a child's play, the twins are too impulsive.

"I just hope... hope Draco doesn't get bitten." Narcissa choked up, like a weak woman. "I met Professor Lupine, he looked terrible."

"Fenrir Greyback is now locked in Azkaban, and his subordinates threatened during this summer vacation that if he is not released, they will attack every student who enters Hogwarts, and the school is almost shut down. This plan failed and I don’t know if there will be a worse attack next time, which is why I hope the Aurors will stop focusing on the rich Death Eaters, stop internal strife, and unite with the outside world.” Pomona was angry I have to say.

"You should tell the Minister of Magic, it's useless to tell me." George sat on the chair, crossed his legs, and took a big puff of cigarette. "I'm just a trick dealer."

"Are you a businessman?" Pomona asked.

"Yes, can't you see it?" He replied sternly.

"Then what if I exchange news with you?" Pomona remembered Snape's teaching that to learn to negotiate, one must negotiate terms, and it seemed that she just mentioned one by accident.

"what news?"

"It has something to do with your father." Pomona kept her mouth shut up to this point, and she watched George's reaction.

Even Patsy, an ambitious man, will eventually return to the family. She doesn't believe that George doesn't care about his family at all.

"What's wrong with him?" George smoked, trying to cover his expression with the smoke.

"Which do you think is more ridiculous, the Muggle Protection Act or the Wizarding Secrecy Act?"

The International Wizarding Secrecy Act came into effect in 1692, which led to the reform of the government of the British wizarding community, from the original loose parliament to the new Ministry of Magic with executive power.

This law is to prevent contact between Muggles and the wizarding world, and there is even a special abuse of magic office. Arthur Weasley was originally the director of it, although there are only two people.

"Your father is a good man. He is suitable for family life. Now that you are out to earn money, you don't need him to continue to work in the Ministry of Magic. It is a place where troubles keep happening. Since you can live a happy life, why find yourself Are you unhappy?"

"You're scaring me," said George, laughing. "My dad is a straight man, and there's nothing you can do to him."

"George, everyone has secrets, even Dumbledore." Pomona sighed and stood up, "I was here to see how you are doing today, but now you We can't talk about attitudes, let's talk again when we have a chance, Sissy, let's go."

Narcissa stood up quietly covering her face.

"Wait a minute." Just as the two were about to push the door out, George asked, "What's your condition?"

"Everyone take a step back, don't be so aggressive." Pomona didn't have to say, "A trapped beast will fight, and a lion will die if it is bitten by a poisonous snake."

After speaking, she opened the door and left the former student's office.

"Why does that child know you and your relationship with Severus? Professor Sprout." When they walked away, Narcissa looked at her suspiciously.

"Keep going, Sissy." Pomona said blankly, "The reason inside is very complicated, and it's hard for me to explain it to you. You just need to know that the problems that men intervene in to solve will get out of hand. Can you prevent them from getting out of hand?" Do it, try not to let them do it."
