Vol 3 Chapter 499: Thanks and concealment

"Mom..." Daphne Greengrass said with a choked voice, "In Azkaban, how are you doing... It's hard to imagine, those terrifying dementors, it's so terrible... Why didn't they treat you? Okay, don’t make it difficult for you..."
Tears dripped from her eyes. The poor girl, I don't know how much pressure she has endured in the past year, she vented out with tears at this time.
"Don't worry, dear." Mrs. Diana Greengrass said peacefully, "It's much better than you think..."
It's a pity that Daphne is no longer the innocent and romantic little girl who used to be. She heard the weight in her mother's voice, and at the same time did not point it out in words, she could only shed tears silently.
"Where is Astoria, Daphne?" Diana asked urgently.
Obviously, she cares more about the little daughter who has a curse on her... Even though Astoria Greengrass went to Azkaban to meet her a few months ago, she was under the influence of Dementors at the time. The memory is quite vague to her.
"She is in the room, concentrating on reviewing her homework... in more than a month, her .Ls exam is coming!" Daphne replied, "She may not even know you have come back."
"Sorry, dear... I'll go see your sister first!" Diana kissed her daughter on the cheek, and then ran into the house.
Now, in the huge courtyard, only Jon and Daphne were left.
...
Jon glanced at the girl in front of him, who also raised his head to look at him.
"Thank you, Jon..." Daphne Greengrass whispered, "If it weren't for you... I really don't know what to do... At the time, Astoria was cursed and her mother was in Aziz. Caban..."
She wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, but her voice still sounded flustered and confused.
"To be honest, I'm sorry!" Jon shook his head, "But your mother's affairs may not be as smooth as you thought."
"What?" Daphne opened her mouth in shock.
"During the interrogation a few hours ago, the lady confessed all the crimes very irrationally... Honestly, I don't know how to evaluate her behavior." Jon replied, "But the result is Obviously, it is almost impossible to still want her to be acquitted..."
Daphne covered her mouth and couldn't speak; the panic and helplessness on her face turned into endless worry.
"... Rufus Scrimgeour, the head of the Law Enforcement Department of the Ministry of Magic, is a very stubborn and hateful former Auror!" Jon continued, "There is no doubt that he will not let your mother go. ... Judging from the current situation, the best result will also be Azkaban's life imprisonment!"
"What should I do..." Daphne's body trembled slightly: "But... didn't you bring her back... she's fine..."
"It's just a stopgap measure now!" Jon shook his head again: "I only found a way to release your mother on bail based on a loophole in the "Magic Criminal Act". She is still a sinner now. Thanks to the minister’s cooperation, this is the only good news. The Minister of Magic, Ms. Amelia Burns, still sympathizes with his wife."
Daphne had already reacted, she smiled a little dismal, and stammered:
"Thank you, Jon... I'm sorry to trouble you..."
"There is no need to say that." Jon also smiled and patted the other person on the shoulder: "I will continue to think of ways. The Minister may be a feasible breakthrough, but it will take some time..."
"...In the next two to three months, Madam can stay at home until the Law Enforcement Department officially pronounces her sentence." After a pause, Jon continued: "Because the Law Enforcement Department has been busy recently, this The time may be longer. I suggest that you and your sister accompany your wife more. Judging from the situation of my conversation with her, I feel that her mood has become a little bit wrong..."
"Yes, I must!" Daphne nodded quickly.
"That's right—" After hesitating for a moment, she suddenly spoke; between her eyebrows, she also hesitated a little more.
"--Jon...Can you..." Daphne's voice began to decrease a little bit: "Don't tell Astoria about this... after all, she is still young, and it doesn't take long for her body to fully recover... And in more than a month's time, her .Ls exam is coming...So, can you tell her about the mother's matter..."
"...And I believe that my mother will definitely not tell her the truth!" Daphne's voice was intermittent.
Seeing Daphne's worried look, Jon thought briefly for a moment.
To be honest, her concerns are not entirely unreasonable.
"Okay, I'll keep it from her for a while, about this." Jon agreed and nodded.
"Thank you." Daphne smiled reluctantly: "By the way, do you want to stay for lunch...I just prepared some sandwiches..."
Jon looked at each other curiously, but she didn't expect that she would actually "cook" herself.
But he soon realized that the "chef" of Greengrass Manor, the house elf named "Emily"... She had unfortunately passed away more than half a year ago.
This is a sad story and a story that is not easy to mention.
However, Jon still tactfully declined Daphne's invitation: "I'm happy, but I have to go back to Hogwarts later, so I have to leave after a while..."
"Sorry, I won't disturb you... Jon..." Daphne whispered.
...
Astoria Greengrass stayed in her room. On the desk in front of UU Reading www.uukanshu.com, there were all kinds of books piled up everywhere; and in the notebook, there were many dense records. The content is all questions that teachers think are most likely to appear in the .Ls exam during review.
Her look was a little tired, her mental state was obviously not at its best, and a faint dark circle appeared on her eyes.
However, the joy that mother brought home still filled her face.
The dark days are over, everything seems to be developing in a good direction!
Mrs. Diana has already left the cabin. After visiting her little daughter and chatting for a while, it seems that there are still many things in the manor that need her to "handle".
Before returning to Hogwarts, Jon Hart was also going to visit her.
He came to Astoria's hut and knocked gently on the door.
"Is it Jon!" The girl's voice came from the room.
