Chapter 249: Astoria's Talk

Jon finally knew why this photo looked so familiar.
Mrs. Diana Greengrass, she is Astoria's mother... She and her little daughter in the photo are almost carved out of the same mold.
Except for the eyes, Astoria's eyes are black, and Mrs. Greengrass's eyes, like her eldest daughter Daphne Greengrass, are dark green.
Mrs. Greengrass in the photo looked a bit horrible; while the Minister of Magic Cornelius Fudge stood proudly beside her.
Jon continued to read the content of this news:
"As evidenced by Ms. Dolores Umbridge, Senior Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Magic, the Minister’s Office has determined that Mrs. Diana Greengrass, Director of the Department of Fantastic Beast Management and Control, has committed serious malfeasance in recent years. :
A year and a half ago, she released any eagle-headed horse-winged beast that had only seriously wounded people and fled the trial, and has not been arrested and brought to justice.
One year and one month ago, without a complete procedure, she allowed a very dangerous Ukrainian iron belly dragon to be extradited from Le Havre to Liverpool.
Nine months ago, after knowing that a teacher at Hogwarts was cultivating a high-risk creature called "Fried Tail Snails" (the danger level of which was between the lion's head and the fire crab), She also made no response.
Due to Mrs. Greenglass's repeated dereliction of duty, she has seriously violated the "Ministry of Magic Official Management Code" and violated the basic professional ethics of Ministry officials.
After deliberation, the Minister's Office has decided to conduct a suspension investigation.
To deal with the results next, we need to wait two weeks for the formal trial of Wisengamo.
Mr. Cuthbert Mockridge, the director of the Fairy Liaison Office, will temporarily act as the director of the Department of Fantastic Beast Management and Control.
Office of the Minister, Assistant Minister Percy Weasley.
On November 29. "
Jon watched the news in silence, and couldn't help feeling a little panicked.
"What's wrong?" Pansy Parkinson asked curiously: "Is there any big news?"
"Nothing!" Jon returned the newspaper to her casually.
Pansy Parkinson took the newspaper and turned it to the crossword page...
...
Half an hour later, as the butter beer and mead drank, the party seemed to be over.
The members of the Knights of Wallpus walked out of the Three Broomsticks bar while talking and laughing.
Next, their paths are different and they need to part ways; some people want to buy some gadgets at the Joko joke shop, some people want to buy candy at the Honey Duke candy store, and some even need Fengya brand wizard clothing store to buy clothes...
"I have to go to the post office and send a letter." Jon casually found an excuse and separated from them.
A few minutes later, Jon sneaked back around again and walked to Mrs. Pettifu's teahouse.
There are slightly fewer people in the teahouse today than last time.
After all, in such cold weather, few couples are willing to go out for a date and drink tea, I am afraid they are more willing to drink a few glasses of wine and warm up.
Jon walked straight to the second floor, but he stopped before entering the room.
He took out his wand, and
"Sourgify!"
"Sourgify!"
"Sourgify!"
After making a few gestures to my clothes, after making sure that no girl’s taste will be left
Jon took off the ring, then gently opened the door.
...
Astoria Greengrass was the same as last time, waiting for him in the room.
She doesn't seem to be in a very good state, and her mind is almost written on her face, full of worries and worries.
There seemed to be tears in the corner of his eyes, and a sheet of "Daily Prophet" was placed on the table.
It seems that she already knows what happened to her mother...
After seeing Jon walking in, Astoria quickly stood up.
"Are you okay?" Jon asked quickly, then walked over and supported Astoria.
Astoria nodded, and at the same time looked at Jon for help, and then at the Daily Prophet on the table; it was a bit pitiful.
"Stop talking, Astoria... I have seen the report in the newspaper." Jon said first: "Mrs. Greengrass, your mother, I swear she will be fine!"
Astoria cried with a worried look: "Will they send her to Azkaban?"
"Don't worry, I won't." Jon comforted: "Weizengamo can't be all fools. There are many bottom-line and clear-minded wizards. They will uphold justice and speak for your mother!"
As he said so, Jon felt a little uneasy.
He certainly knows the urination of the Ministry of Magic at this stage. Since they dare to act on Mrs. Greengrass, they certainly won't care about the bottom line.
In case Astoria's mother is really imprisoned in Azkaban...
"It's all my fault..." Astoria lowered her head reproachfully, crying and said: "I ran into Professor Umbridge when I was in class, so she angered my mother..."
"Of course it wouldn't be your fault, Astoria!" Jon gently held her in his arms: "Don't think too much, it was all a few months ago... Umbridge. Just a pink toad, she will definitely get retribution, I promise you."
Hearing the name "Pink Toad", Astoria finally smiled.
And Jon’s continuous comfort ~EbookFREE.me~ also stabilized her mood a bit.
She raised her head and smiled weakly at Jon: "Thank you, Jon..."
She got up from Jon's arms, then took a wet wipe and wiped her eyes.
"My father died when I was very young..." Astoria said suddenly, "I don't really have any impression of him, and my mother rarely mentions him. I don't even know his surname. "
Jon listened quietly to Astoria's words. This was the first time she told herself about her family.
"My mother brought up my sister and me... In fact, I don't want her at all. She always said that my personality is too weak, and my sister is more like her." Astoria continued, "I have always admired her. She has taken care of her in an orderly manner, whether it is family or career, no matter how tired."
"I have been in poor health since I was a child. In addition to taking care of the family, she also needs to take care of me..." Astoria tightened her lips: "I still remember when she was four years old, she brought me to Hogwarts and asked Dumb to Professor Lido..."
