Harry Potter’s Morning Light

  Chapter 78 Never Ends

   "Cheers!"

  Malfoy Manor, the former Death Eater table, is now occupied by four men and women. On the table is not the corpse of the Muggle study professor, but French fried lamb chops.

  The basil leaves sprinkled before serving the table dispelled the **** smell left in the house, at least the house owner Lucius Malfoy’s face had a slight smile to deal with the scene.

  Narcissa was very happy, so Bella would not come to curse her. Snape was as expressionless as he used to eat at school, making the house elves think that the dishes he cooked were ugly.

  It was the two women who clinked glasses. The sound of the crystal colliding was so sweet that it reminded Pomona of the crystal magic props placed on the bedside. It was like the kind of sound-producing toy hanging on the bedside of a baby.

   "Narcissa, how long has it been since Malfoy Manor has a party?"

  "About how long has it been? Will it be in six years, dear?" Narcissa raised her wine glass and asked her husband with a smile.

  Lucius laughed while chewing the lamb chops, then turned his face to the side and drank a sip of champagne blankly.

  "I think we can hold a charity party with the theme of caring for war orphans, and call on everyone to donate to establish an organization like a Muggle orphanage."

  Nacissa looked surprised, watching her husband ask for help.

   "Why do you have this idea? Pomona?" Lucius asked with a smile while maintaining aristocratic manners.

"You know, the mysterious man grew up in a Muggle orphanage when he was young, and was brought back to the wizarding world by Dumbledore. He grew up in an environment lacking love and care, because Muggles are not the same as wizards, they are very productive. Irresponsible parents are just like throwing away cats and dogs on the street. Orphanages are often overcrowded, so how can precious children be handled so hastily?"

   "Oh, there are people abandoning children?" Narcissa said, covering her mouth in surprise.

   "Too irresponsible." Pomona cut a bite of the tender lamb and placed it in her mouth.

   "So you think it's different if we open an orphanage to house war orphans?" Lucius smiled and looked at Snape, but Snape didn't care about the topic at all.

"Of course, especially the children of the pure-blood family need special care." Pomona kicked Snape under the table. "Remember the last time I mentioned Norton, one of the holy twenty-eight families. The child of the family? He is gifted with potions and can come with Draco to find a cure for the aftereffects of the Unforgivable Curse.

   "She's right, Theodore Norton is very talented in potions." Snape finished his lines dryly, and the two shiny Malfoy expressions became more serious.

   "But I remember that his father seemed to be a Death Eater." Narcissa clutched her heart, looking terrified.

  "The son will pay for the debts owed by the father. Those who want to redeem should be forgiven. I think this is what a decent person should give."

   "That's right." Lucius looked surprised and smiled and raised his cup. "A toast should be forgiveness to the one who has sinned."

   "We just finished the glass, don't you feel too quick to toast again? Honey?" Narcissa smiled triumphantly, and Lucius had to put the raised glass to his mouth to drink.

   "So, that Norton boy is the guest of honor for this event..."

   "And Neville, a boy from Longbottom family. His parents were also victims. He is now a professor of Hogwarts Herbs."

   "I heard... he is a Gryffindor."

   "Yes, but a lot of the treatment for his parents is Slytherin. Lucius donated a lot of money to Saint Mungo. I believe Lucius should be able to invite the dean of Saint Mungo, right?"

   "Of course." Lucius immediately promised under Narcissa's gaze.

   "Look, you will be busy after dinner. I guess you have to prepare a long list."

   "Yes, can you help me? Pomona?"

   "I'm not familiar with nobles, you can ask Lucius for help, anyway, he has nothing to do at home." Pomona stuffed a mouthful of lamb blankly, and Narcissa's smile became more real.

   "You are right." Narcissa turned her gaze to the old Malfoy. "Maybe you can take this opportunity to invite some friends from the past."

   "Ah~, Severus, are you going to the charity party?"

  Poor old Malfoy, Pomona shook her head secretly, and continued to eat the food on the plate.

   "If I show up at a party, others will think that a ghost has appeared."

  He didn't say a dirty word this time, but the atmosphere was suddenly cold. Narcissa and Lucius met and laughed, looking affectionate.

  Compared to the Auror search, what made Narcissa more unbearable was the unplanned attitude of the old Malfoy. He kept waiting, not knowing what he was waiting for, and finally Narcissa didn't want to wait any longer.

   "Are you full?" Snape had finished the food on the plate.

   "I'm full!" Pomona didn't want to stay in the restaurant even if the food on the plate didn't move a few bites now, so she took Severus's hand and left the rattling restaurant together.

   "Mistress, dessert!" Honey came out with a plate of cherry cakes, Pomona took one, and walked up the stairs to the rose-filled garden of Malfoy Manor.

The ancient family has strict guardian magic, which will be opened at night. Outsiders can't even find the entrance. Snape didn't make any disguise. He wandered in the deserted garden with the woman in the white dress as he was. .

  If this scene happens at Hogwarts or Diagon Alley, it will cause panic.

   "When will you torture Lucius until?"

   "How do I know." Pomona replied perfunctorily, "Do you remember how long the war between Hefpaff and Slytherin lasted that year?"

   "You are all crazy." Snape shook his head.

   "You also made a lot of money, otherwise you won't be able to buy the house in Spider's End."

  It's really hateful to make war money, but earning money is really fast. Even without the support of the school board and the Ministry of Magic, Hogwarts still did not compromise because of the tight gold fee and replaced Dumbledore.

   "He never thought that I could buy his house." Snape smiled with a smile. "He kicked me out of the house, and then it was my turn to kick him away."

  This is the biggest difference between him and Tom. Tom uses money to dress himself up, while Snape uses money in more practical places, such as finding a place where Irene can be placed for the rest of his life.

  He was only twelve years old, and Draco was alone on the summer runway at Hogwarts to experience the joy of being a "castle master".

  "Can you tell me now, why the Philosopher’s Stone is in Lily’s vault?"

   "I gave it to her." Pomona said bluntly, "I need to find someone I can trust to store that precious thing."

  That piece of legendary medicine and magic stone refined with countless lives.

   "Some Muggles are really crazy."

   "It's crazy, stupid, and arrogant." Snape gritted his teeth and said, "He doesn't deserve to live in this world."

   "Why do you miss him and ruin such a wonderful night." Pomona shook her half-eaten cake in front of Severus. "Want to eat it?"

  Severus took her hand and ate it, then with cream on the corner of his mouth, he gave her a long Slytherin kiss.

  Eleven Slytherin rules, the snake king, sacred and inviolable.

  The basilisk in the secret room did something wrong. It was just a form of obedience. Usually, it is still a poisonous snake that only eats mice.

  How many rats are needed to feed such a big snake, it is precisely because it has died that Hogwarts have more rats.

   "I have a gift for you." After the long French kiss, the Slytherin chief said with a smile.

"what."

   "Close your eyes."

   Pomona did.

   "No peeking."

   Then he took her by the hand, just like when she took the boy who was kicked by the unicorn, and walked into the dark.
