Chapter 1119 Harmless Tears

Some people say that curiosity is the driving force for human progress, and the spirit of science is: try something to find out whether it is the truth.

Even though synthesizing new elements might lead to the creation of a nuclear bomb, scientists still tried it. Fortunately, no problems have arisen so far, otherwise people who live ordinary lives might be forced to be involved in accidents that have nothing to do with them.

Just like war, the War of the Spanish Throne was a struggle for power between rulers. Ordinary villagers would never have the opportunity to see the king in their lifetime, but they were still involved in this war that had nothing to do with them.

It would take a person a lifetime to produce 5.5 tons of urine. Brandt needed a lame excuse to collect urine from so many people.

Those people probably never dreamed that their excrement would one day be presented in front of kings and university professors.

Schopenhauer said that there are only three driving forces for human behavior:

A. Self-interest, hoping to be happy, there is no limit to self-interest.

b. Vicious, wishing others to suffer, and can develop extremely cruel behaviors for this purpose.

c. Sympathy and wishing others happiness can lead to extremely generous, noble and selfless behavior.

Everyone's behavior can be attributed to one of three behaviors, and sometimes it can be two.

A person can make himself happy by hurting others, and some can make himself happy by being generous and selfless, but few people can be vicious and compassionate at the same time.

This is a kind of psychology full of contradictions, but it happened in Severus.

Harry Potter is the son of James Potter, the son of Severus Snape's enemy, so he used vicious methods to deal with Harry Potter.

At the same time, Harry is Lily's child. Harry lost his parents when he was a child and grew up unhappy in Petunia's house. After returning to the magical world, he lived a short happy life, but he soon had to accept his fate.

Arranged to be sent to death like a piglet raised by Albus Dumbledore.

Arthur Schopenhauer was a cynical man. When he was teaching at the University of Berlin, he tried to compete with Hegel on the podium. As a result, Hegel's lectures were often full, but the students who listened to his lectures never exceeded the limit.

Three people passed. So Schopenhauer left the university platform with an angry mood.

He did not belong to that era. In Schopenhauer's own words, his books were written for future generations.

Some people and some things must be gradually accepted by the world after their death.

This was the case for Severus. The "misunderstanding" was clarified after his death. Schopenhauer was luckier than him. In his later years, time and Schopenhauer came together, and he finally enjoyed the honor he had been looking forward to his whole life. And Severus

After Fleurs Snape died, he did not receive the honor he deserved. He did not have the Order of Merlin, and was not even considered qualified to have his portrait hung in the headmaster's office at Hogwarts. Letaquist returned

He wrote a book called "Saint or Sinner?" to gain profit and attention.

Letaquist's behavior is typical of self-interest. She doesn't care what the truth is. When writing the book about Albus Dumbledore, she at least interviewed people related to Albus.

She can write whatever she wants about Severus Snape. Anyway, except for the supporters of the "Love Saint", I am afraid that few people will speak out for this double agent who betrayed his own people.

Voldemort was defeated by love, but "love" seems so stupid.

If everyone desires to be loved but is unwilling to love others, then "love" will become the scarcest resource in the world.

Paris has outstanding appearance, is loved by everyone, and has a noble status. It can be said that he has stood in a position that ordinary people cannot reach in their lifetime.

In the vast sea of ​​​​people, there is no such a special person, but "gold diggers" are everywhere. Therefore, Prince Troy did not choose power or fame, but gave the golden apple to the God of Love.

If Pomona were a man, she might think Paris was an unreliable ruler like Poseidon. As the patron saint of Troy, he chose to side with the Athenians.

But it's a pity that Pomona is a woman, and despising the God of Cupid is not what a woman should say.

Nietzsche said that the faster a woman forgets how to be charming, the faster she learns to hate others.

The beginning of viciousness is hatred. She wants the people she hates to suffer, so sometimes people will lament that "the most poisonous woman has a heart".

Hate is not the antidote to love, forgetting is. When the person who loved you in the past is indifferent to everything about you, that person really doesn't love you anymore.

Jealousy is a measure of how much a person loves others.

If she can share a man with another woman and remain indifferent, then this woman does not love him at all.

She only uses men to obtain material things, which make her feel happy, but men still do not obtain the scarce resources, "love". Such a "transaction" is not equal.

Life is like a pendulum, swinging between happiness and boredom.

Those that make people feel happy are nihilistic; those that are plain and painful are real.

Lily once gave Slughorn a gift to thank him for his constant teaching. Slughorn was not prejudiced because she was a Gryffindor girl.

In this regard, Slughorn, who is also the head of Slytherin, did much better than Severus. He valued a person's talent more than that person's gender and affiliation.

camp.

It was a floating lily petal in a small bowl. When Slughorn took it in his hand, it turned into a small fish.

When Pomona visited Slughorn's office, she found that he had placed it in a prominent position on the "collection shelf", together with other student photos that made him feel "honored."

Even if Lily later got married and didn't become a "celebrity" like he thought, he still put it there.

Then one day, the fish in the bowl disappeared with a "pop", and then came the news of Voldemort's death.

When everyone in the auditorium cheered and celebrated, only Slughorn was in a daze. He quietly left his seat, but when class resumed as normal, he was still there, and everything was as usual, as if nothing had happened.

.

Now, there is a small fish in Phoenix's tear pool, but it is not transformed by transformation.

Pomona made a small pool in the greenhouse of the painting box to store water and use it to water the plants.

She raised a few fish in the pool, both for ornamental purposes and to bring some vitality to the greenhouse. Severus caught one from the pool and threw it into the pool of Phoenix Tears.

It struggled for a short time at first, and then swam leisurely in the pool. It seemed that the water was safe and harmless, just like the pool she used to water it.

He threw in a few more test strips.

The main components of tears are salt and water, but they are not neutral. Human lacrimal glands secrete tears at any time. Tears can moisten the cornea, lubricate the eyeball and sterilize, so it is weakly acidic.

The concentration of protein in tears shed due to emotional reasons is not much higher than the concentration of tears shed due to chopping onions.

However, the manganese content in tears is very high, hundreds to thousands of times higher than the concentration of manganese in plasma. The tears at this time are weakly alkaline. The frequency of men’s tears is one-fifth that of women, so men suffer from

Ulcers are much more common than in women.

Many people have had oral ulcers, which are very painful and get better after a while.

Gastric ulcers are difficult to heal because they have been in contact with gastric acid for a long time, and the gastric juice is strong acid, which irritates the ulcer surface. Only the person suffering from gastric ulcers can feel the pain.

It is a chronic disease caused by not eating properly for a long time. It is a miracle that the "science madman" Severus did not suffer from this disease.

This is also Pomona's fault. She always tells him to eat on time, but she can't do anything about his greasy hair.

He used his wand to make the test strips float.

"How was it?" Pomona asked.

"No problem." He sighed and lit the test strips with blazing fire.

"Have you seen Fox Nirvana?" Pomona asked, looking at the orange flames.

"No." He said, looking at the scattered sparks.

"I'm afraid no one except Albus has seen Fawkes Nirvana." She said boringly, "What should we do next?"

Severus looked at the pool and thought.

After a while, he took out an empty test tube from the deformed lizard skin pocket and the medicine bottle containing Fox's tears. He used the empty test tube to take some water from the pool and compared it with Fox's tears.

It looks like a transparent liquid.

Then he rolled up his sleeves, revealing the Dark Mark on his arm, and sank that arm into the water.

The black mark glowed green, and the originally calm water began to boil, and the small fish in the pool swam around in fear.

But it didn't die, the water didn't really boil because the temperature increased.

After a while, Severus pulled out the arm. The Dark Mark was still there, but his arm was wrapped in a thin layer of holy light.

"I think we can jump in," Severus said. "The water is harmless."

"You really think that?" Pomona said in horror.

"I thought it could wash away the mark." Severus looked at the green-glowing Dark Mark on his arm and said, "It may follow me for the rest of my life."

Pomona didn't think it would be a good idea to chop off the hand, and doing so might not get rid of the past.

She had never seen a Potions Master who was missing arms or legs. She did know one who was a Care of Magical Creatures professor. His life was very inconvenient. Even with the wooden prosthetic hand made by Albus, it was still not as convenient as her own hand.

Severus needed dexterous hands, just like a pianist needs dexterous fingers to play beautiful music.

Once you make a wrong choice, the "stain" will follow you for the rest of your life. How difficult is it to find someone who can tolerate the "stain".

"You dance and I dance too." Pomona said with a smile, "It's really Titanic."

He also laughed and stretched out his hand towards her.

"Want to take off your clothes?"

"There is no cover here." She looked around and said, "What if someone sees me?"

"Who else but me?"

"Xenophilius, and the Dark Lord, oh." She was pinched and couldn't help but scream in pain.

"That's enough." He said with a stiff face, looking down at the pool, "One, two, three, jump."
