Chapter 482 Darkness and Dilemma

"Voldemort came from a broken family. Although Harry Potter's family was also broken up by him, he lived in Petunia's house and knew what a complete family was like, so he really wanted to have a complete family." Jump

After the dance, Severus invited her to drink cocktails. He was mixing drinks and chatting at the same time, which seemed very unprofessional, but who cares? "He saw his parents in the mirror, and Ron saw in the mirror that he had become a super person.

Long and Quidditch captain, just like your unicorn, Cedric Diggory, do you think Ron could be like Cedric if he came to your house?"

"Ron? Cedric? No." Pomona smiled and shook her head.

"Why not? Because he's not handsome enough? Or is he not honest, friendly, or brave enough?"

"Cedric is the seeker and Ron is the keeper, and he lacks self-confidence. He is not sure what glory he really wants." Pomona looked at the reflection on the table and said, "Ron just thinks it is."

Prefect and Quidditch captain are very prestigious, but Cedric knows the sacrifices required to take on these two positions. He has almost no personal time, he is busy with training and college affairs, and he also has to maintain good grades."

"It sounds like he is the same person as the White Wizard. Do you think he is gay?"

Pomona felt stiff all over.

Cedric was fair to all girls, but Pomona had never thought about his relationship with boys.

"You never really got to know him, right?" Severus shook his head. "Just like Barty Crouch Jr., he became a Death Eater under your nose."

"Do you think Cedric might become a Death Eater?" Pomona asked in disbelief.

"He attaches great importance to honor. That is a good habit and a bad habit. I think he must feel that he shoulders the responsibility of revitalizing Hufflepuff's hundreds of years of honor, so he will never allow himself to make mistakes. If he feels that he has been humiliated

, will go to the other extreme." He waved his wand and let the cocktail shaker shake by itself. "Aren't you curious why I understand him so well?"

"Because... he was coerced by me just like you?"

"Sometimes you are just like the old women of the Black and Longbottom families, forcing us to go the way you want us to go. If going to the battlefield can make us look glorious, you will push us and don't care if we go.

He died because of this." He looked at her with accusing eyes, "Lily will defend me. She looks stronger than you on the outside, but in fact you are much stronger than her. Sometimes I really doubt whether you have female characteristics in your heart.

"

"I don't want to be weak."

"You are a woman, of course you can be weak!" Severus said incredulously, "What are you thinking?"

"You must think I'm a fool."

"Tell me what you're thinking about?" He frowned, looking like he'd drank a tall glass of absinthe.

"I'm afraid you'll abandon me." She said with some vulnerability. "When I heard what happened to Merope, my God, it was so scary."

"Why should I abandon you?" he asked inexplicably.

"You are tired of me, or there are other young women attracting you." Pomona looked at his ugly face and greasy hair, "I can't believe that you actually have so many female admirers like Sirius.

"

"Who do you think... I am?" He suppressed his anger and asked word by word.

"Ordinary man." She said frustratedly, "You are going behind Lily and me..."

"Quiet!" he interrupted her with a growl. "I know you are not the stupid fool I usually meet, but I didn't expect you to be so stupid. You think I need a young and beautiful wife to show how successful I am."

?"

"Isn't it true? You said that you want to be like Lucius, live in a luxurious house, and everyone can eat in an educated manner."

"I just want you to live in a house like that. I'm not an old fool who will let you live with the mud." He took the mixing bottle in his hand and poured out all the wine in it. The blue margarita

It looks like the venom of the curled-winged bat, glowing with a faint blue light. "He is hiding you with soil. I understand his feelings, but he has made you lose your original glory. Look at Fleur, how many people she has made for her."

go Ape."

"I don't need so many people to be crazy about me." She grabbed his hand and said, "I just want you to look at me."

"There are many women who are jealous of Veela. I heard that they were gloating when they heard that Fleur was marrying Bill. She could obviously choose someone much richer than him." Severus shook her hand in return.

This is your charm, you don’t value a person’s external conditions, including material and appearance.”

Pomona couldn't help but think of Mary. If Lily hadn't listened to her indoctrination and asked her to be realistic and find a rich man to marry, would Severus and Lily have a different story.

"You have been with me through many difficult days." He whispered, "You helped me rebuild my broken life. I don't want you to spend your energy and time on other men."

Voldemort said Severus was selfish, and now Pomona believed him.

"You rejected me time and time again. The only reason I can understand is that you think I'm ugly. I'm not as handsome as Sirius and Cedric, right?"

"You know I don't just look at a person's appearance. I hate people like Lockhart."

"Yeah, I know." He said with a wry smile, "But I didn't know why you rejected me at the time. I caused a lot of embarrassment for Cedric. When he was publicly humiliated, the way he looked at me, I

Swear to God, that is definitely not what a gentle and kind person should be like. Even if Ron makes a fool of himself in public like he did at the Yule Ball, he will soon forget about it, but Cedric must be perfect in everything, in line with the status of a knight and a noble.

, because only in this way can you meet your requirements."

"You swear to God?" Pomona said incredulously.

"Is this what you heard? You are not perfect like the perfect Cedric in Dumbledore's eyes. He also has flaws. He is too focused on honor." Severus hissed like a snake.

There is no shame in being second, why don’t you teach him that?”

"Do you want to say that even though you are defeated, you are still glorious?"

"A gentle mother should be like this. He wanted to be first, even though he knew that the championship belonged to Harry Potter, so he picked up the trophy. When did Hufflepuff become so competitive?

?”

Pomona thought of Nietzsche.

Human creativity is related to desire. War requires advanced weapons. In order to make such advanced weapons, creativity is needed. The Chinese use gunpowder as fireworks, while Westerners use gunpowder to make flying bombs.

This desire for destruction and conquest promotes creativity.

She would not advise Cedric to be really humble. This is a kind of servile morality. Socrates always said that he was ignorant, argued with people everywhere and offended people, and finally became the public enemy of Athens. She taught Cedric how to use

She giggled to hide her true intentions, but she didn't expect that he would actually use this trick against her.

"You really have to give up that Nietzsche thing." Severus scolded severely. "Do you think Hufflepuff's boys are not very heroic, so you want to use his philosophy to inject some boiling blood into them?"

"Oh, so Hufflepuff will always listen to you Slytherins or Gryffindors?" Pomona said sharply, "Only the boys in your house are allowed to be heroic, and Filius and I can't be a little bit.

Manliness?”

"Damn it, Pomona, they were sorted into Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw just because they don't have that masculine spirit in them, but you insist on provoking them. What you do is wrong." Severus

Si tiredly said, "Don't care too much about other people's eyes and opinions. I want to spend the rest of my life with you, and no other woman will appear in our lives."

Pomona originally wanted to say Narcissa Malfoy, but when she thought of her aging appearance, she swallowed her words.

Many people will face such a problem. When a man reaches middle age, he is like a ripe fruit, attracting the attention of young girls, while his wife is old and yellow and no longer attractive. Some men feel like this

When a woman no longer matches her successful career, she abandons the woman who has accompanied her through hardships, and then takes the young and beautiful woman to show off.

During the Victorian period, men took their mistresses to social events, leaving their wives at home to take care of their children. Once a woman got divorced, she would have no income and would have problems surviving. So women became realistic, why should they start from scratch with someone who has nothing?

As for struggle, wouldn't it be better to find a rich man to marry from the beginning?

Josephine was older than Napoleon, but she accompanied him through the difficult years. Even though she did not bear him a child, he still never left her when Napoleon became emperor.

Napoleon may have been a dictator, but he had qualities that many French men at that time did not have. His feelings were like burning flames, suffocating. Such a man could easily capture a woman's heart, so vanity was in the marriage again.

Josephine, who later cheated on her, failed him and became the bitch that everyone condemned.

People pay more attention to gossip than personal feelings. Scandal always spreads faster than good news. Both Muggles and wizards like this kind of "violent information" the most.

She could only be his "mistress" for the rest of her life, because in everyone's eyes he loved Lily for his entire life, otherwise she would become a "hot material" written by reporters like Lita.

Fleur could have found a rich man, but she chose Bill, a poor man, to live in a shell house far away from the bustling city. If Bill cheated her, how could she guarantee the youth and sincerity she had devoted to her?

The current law only divides property, but only the interest relationship. It seems that between husband and wife, just like Han Fei said, only the interest relationship is left. It is not the art of upholding kindness, fairness and justice.

This incomplete and cold marriage law will fragment families, push women to a dead end, and men themselves will also go to a dead end. The country is the sum of the family, and there is no family, the smallest hematopoietic stem cell, because of the lack of fresh blood——

Newborns. So Muggles who are capable of giving birth are now facing the same fertility problems as wizards. It's just that it's not that women can't give birth to children, but that they don't want to get married.

Just when she was in a daze, Severus suddenly walked out from behind the bar and knelt down on one knee without her being prepared.

"What are you doing!" she said incoherently.

"I know we had a wedding, and I also proposed once." He raised his head and said with joy and disbelief on his face, "But I want to propose like an ordinary person."

It was as if she had been hit with a stick, and her mind went blank.

"Senior, will you marry me?"

Oh, she expected him to say something sweet, or read a poem, but it was so dry, using imperative sentences to propose marriage was really unoriginal.

"Nothing is more important than you. I hope you can summon me at any time." He lowered his head and kissed the summoning ring on her hand. "I am very happy that I am a magician."

Fantasy love is often very dull, and companionship is the longest confession of love. Even Albus Dumbledore didn't take time to spend time with his family, but he said that it would be just the two of them for the rest of his life, and that he could see him anytime he wanted.

Summoning, she is almost as "great" as the Dark Lord.

"I will marry you, Half-Blood Prince." She whispered. "You can stand up and kiss your bride."

Then he stood up and kissed her passionately.

There was no guarantee, and she would not force him to make an unbreakable vow. There was not even a legal marriage relationship, so she just got married in a daze.

There is no one in the world who is more stupid than her.
