Is it too late?
Pomona has something she would like to discuss with Filius.
Filius asked, "Dear, what on Earth are you thinking about with that far off look on your face?"
Pomona told him, "I was just thinking about how it took us so long to get together after the Battle of Hogwarts that by the time we got around to dating and then getting married, it was... Well, it's far too late in life for one to think about children."
Filius said, "We are getting on in years now, but why didn't you say something sooner?"
Pomona muttered, "There's a lot of things which you don't know about me, before my time at Hogwarts I mean."
Filius stated, "I'm not asking you to share that part of your life with me, Pommy. I have never asked about it. I can sense you would rather not talk about it with me because it's painful. That's perfectly okay. I would like to know why you felt like you couldn't talk to me about something as big as children after all the time we have known each other?"
Pomona frowned. "You're not wrong, that part of my life has many painful memories. You deserve to know because of how amazing you are. As painful as it might be for me, I think it's time you knew, Filly."
Filius insisted, "Go ahead then, dear."
Pomona took a deep breath and in barely more than an whisper, she said, "Well, my life before I started teaching at Hogwarts is a long and complicated affair to tell in one sitting. For now, I'll tell you what's most relevant. Since I was a child, I had always dreamt of and wished that when I found the right man, we would have the perfect life complete with children and well, a house... a garden and all. That childish fantasy was dashed from my mind when my boyfriend at the time, his name isn't relevant, tried to... You have to know that I was just a teenager and I thought that the perfect woman was the one who did anything a man asked of her, but I never thought about what that could lead to back then. Until he...... he asked me to do something which I wasn't comfortable with, I doubt I need to spell it out for you and he didn't listen to me when I said no..........."
Filius pulled her into a hug and whispered, "Don't say another word, I know exactly what happened with this ex boyfriend of yours. I'm here for you and if you truly do want children like you did before him then don't hesitate to tell me because it's not too late for us. It's 2020 for Merlin's sake, we can adopt or do the whole Muggle IVF thing if that's what it comes to. If you don't want children because of him, then that's okay too. Either way, I'm here for you like I always have been."
