Chapter 517: A Gift to the Queen

Establishing a company requires a lot of energy, and managing a company also requires energy, but these are not as valuable as intellectual property rights. High-value patents are the core competitiveness of the company. Severus is the improver of Wolfsbane, he should focus on this aspects instead of wasting time on operations management.

The establishment of this company did not intend to make money from the very beginning. Its main purpose was to clear the dirty reputation of pure-blooded war criminals, as long as it was run by a trustworthy person who would not enrich himself.

He didn't need to think about the establishment of a werewolf sanatorium. Grindelwald designed Nurmengard himself, but in the end it became a place where he was imprisoned. After Damocles Belbi donated the land, it should be handled by the Ministry of Magic. Well, those werewolves were able to "be human" again. It's everyone's credit. If they don't succeed, it's the Ministry of Magic's problem. This is already more merciful than hanging or on-the-spot execution. If they don't know how to repent, the werewolves will ask for their own death.

The issue of Auror's recuperation can be opened to some sanatoriums that were only open to pure-blood nobles before. Because pure-blood families have difficulty in giving birth, many pure-blood families have no children around when they get old. The land donated by Fleet can be used for other purposes, such as planting chamaejasma Aconitum.

Pomona broke down his current busy work with three or two strokes, and Lucius Malfoy seemed to have left the decision-making work to him. How dare the albino snake leave these things to the Dark Lord?

Severus was the kind of guy who made things right, look how tired he was as a potions master, old slug Slughorn manipulating the students into making them think he appreciated them and was willing to do it for them. He worked, and Neville even waited at Slug Club parties, which Severus lacked the talent for.

After solving these unsightly official documents, Pomona noticed a scroll of parchment. She opened it and looked at it. It turned out that it was the "homework" written by Hermione.

The two pieces of information that Pomona revealed to her were enough for Kingsley to take seriously. Huan Ye planned to attack the nuclear power plant instead of using Thunderbird to destroy the power grid. Kingsley had been misled by false information all along.

As the director of the Office of the Elf Placement Committee, Hermione did not plan to "liberate" house elves as she did when she was studying. She planned to create a bill to prohibit abuse and expel house elves without reason.

Hermione's handwriting is small and dense, and there are three volumes. She is really the smartest witch her age. No one will admit that she can abuse people, but what Lucius did to Dobby was abuse. It is also one of the reasons Dobby is eager to leave the Malfoy house.

More than 100 years can make many people forget some tragic past events. Today's people are so "moral" that they even consider it immoral to open private letters. Ancient people will live easily in modern times, but modern people may not be able to live in ancient times. , mainly because human life is getting better and better. Modern people simply cannot adapt to the harsh environment of the Middle Ages. Wars and plagues come as soon as they are said, and there is no time for people to prepare.

Money is used to prevent emergencies such as wars, plagues, and famines that will cause social unrest. Time is money, and time costs must also be included in it.

In general terms, China lost the Opium War, but introduced the railway system, which saved the manpower and material resources invested during the Industrial Revolution, and avoided many detours. Britain, which seemed to have won, was in the following Irish famine The damage was heavy, not only lost the international image, but also lost the country and the people, and the gold reserves were much less, the financial order almost collapsed, and it was worthless except to satisfy the vanity of the male conqueror.

If you have no money, go for it. The second Opium War is just like what Victor Hugo said. Two robbers returned with full rewards. The economy developed around women will inevitably transform into flashy. Rococo-style clothes can be seen Out.

The French Revolution is worth learning for everyone. The current Chinese students studying abroad are heavily branded by consumerism and cultural nihilism. Compared with class A narcotics such as heroin, soft drugs are more harmful. They lack parental monitoring and endless use. Money, making bad friends will ruin one's life, but that's his country's internal affairs, and she can't control how others teach their children. Anyway, it's not her turn to worry about children getting addicted to drugs.

"What do you think?" Severus made a cocktail, not a blue Margarita, it smelled of cream and cocoa, coffee, more like a dessert.

"What's this?" She took the glass of wine, which also looked like coffee.

"Alexandra."

She took a sip, and it tasted sweet, like the sweetness of proclaiming love to the world, and Severus was in such a good mood right now, like he already had it all.

"How is Arthur now?"

"With his daughter-in-law."

"Oh, poor Harry," said Pomona sympathetically, for without Arthur he would have to face these terrible "uncles" alone.

"He's teaching at a school, what's the matter." Severus smiled sarcastically, and took a sip of the same cocktail as hers. "What do you think of her writing?"

"Grasp the main point, but not sensational enough, not provocative, almost as a 'debut show'."

"It doesn't matter if you almost got close the first time." He smiled maliciously and said, "I'll get more proficient in the future."

"She'll be a rising star in politics, as long as she's not a fool." Pomona sighed helplessly. "How's her and Ron's situation now?"

"Shouldn't you pay attention to Longbottom? And your student, Hannah Albert."

She felt a little guilty because she unconsciously focused on smart and talented people.

Hermione was considered Pomona's enemy because she turned a blind eye to Severus' death, but Hermione also made it clear that she didn't know how to save him.

The knowledge about werewolves in the UK is not as popular as in other countries. A nerd like Hermione who reads a lot doesn't know how to adapt. Sometimes she is really afraid that this is just a dream of hers. When she wakes up from the dream, she will continue to live in it. This world without him would be even worse if she was still a Muggle.

She could understand Petunia's feelings very well. It was normal to be jealous of Lily. The family had experienced too many things, and even being together as a family became an unattainable luxury.

"We can't adopt Hermione, can we?"

"I want to live a world of two, just me and you." He said in a low voice, "I'm sorry to lose my child."

Her mood is extremely complicated.

There is a feeling of relief and weakness.

"I'm going to be a bad mom."

"No, you won't," he said without hesitation. "I just want you to give me all your attention."

She didn't dare to look into his eyes, those eyes were too hot, as if combustible ice had been ignited.

"Do you think you're happy, Pomona?" he asked.

"Not as happy as Molly," she said wryly, "but I feel better than I used to."

She doesn't need to hide herself, and she doesn't need to please everyone, as if the burden on her body is gone.

"That's the best compliment I've ever received." He touched her wine glass, and the sound of the glass hitting was very pleasant.

"You think you are more powerful than Albus Dumbledore?"

"He suppressed himself so much that even you suffered together. Do you think his jokes are really funny?" He asked back.

"He's an old fool," Pomona said sadly. "He and Grindelwald are really a tragedy."

"He is forcing a smile, pretending to be happy even though he is not happy, and your fake smile is the same. You are obviously unhappy, why do you keep smiling?"

"This is the most basic courtesy!"

He heaved a sigh of relief, "Are we going to start again? Continue this meaningless quarrel?"

"I don't want to be like you, always so 'angry'! Admit it, Snape, you are really annoying sometimes!"

He didn't even bother to continue arguing with her.

"If we have to fight werewolves every month, we will go crazy sooner or later," he complained. "I'm tired of passive defense. Next time I will take the initiative."

Pomona smiled smugly.

"Now you understand the pain of women, there are always a few days every month that we will be unreasonable, just like what you feel now."

He seemed to feel that his "manly demeanor" was damaged by women's cycle problems, so he left with a drink.

Pomona tidied up the papers on his desk viciously, like a housewife tidying up a messy desk.
