Chapter 1123 The party house

If Albus Dumbledore had not personally handed the Hogwarts admission letter to Tom Riddle that day, perhaps, there would have been another story in this world.

Pomona followed Voldemort and walked towards the back of the hall under the guidance of "Death", where there was a heavy-looking golden door.

But as they approached, the double doors with oak reliefs opened by themselves, revealing a cloister with Renaissance architectural features.

There are many sculptures in the circular atrium in the center, and there are many rooms with doors blocked by black gauze around it.

These sculptures look like the "School of Athens", but with many other races added, such as centaurs, goblins, mermaids, etc.

The philosophers opened their mouths wide and seemed to be talking eloquently. The dome seemed to cast a magic similar to that of the Hogwarts Great Hall, except that there were no floating candles here, but countless stars providing illumination inside.

Compared with the golden hall, the interior was glowing softly like moonlight. Pomona looked at the almost identical rooms.

"What are these rooms for?" Voldemort asked.

"They are all treasure rooms." Lyle said with a smile, "Based on your feelings, choose the one you like."

"Based on feeling?" Xenophilius asked.

"You can understand it as natural instinct." Lyle said calmly, "Those who can get here are researchers of natural instinct."

Xenophilius still didn't understand.

"If the contents inside have been taken away by others..."

"When you drop the coin, the treasure room has already prepared what you want for you. You can understand that this is a house that functions like a 'coming and going room'." Lyle interrupted Voldemort.

Even without a body, Voldemort's red eyes still lit up.

He eagerly walked back and forth between the twelve rooms, while the others waited patiently. Who had the courage to jump in line before Voldemort had made his choice?

Pomona tugged on Severus' sleeve.

"Sun Gold." She mouthed the question silently while everyone else's attention was on Voldemort.

He shook his head at her and continued watching the show as if watching Voldemort hesitate.

Some people may think she is stupid. She only wants the sun gold to make it into an unlimited time turner and then rescue Severus. She really has no desire for other treasures.

She touched the "wine bottle" that had been in her pocket again. This bottle was not that easy to open. It had a very complicated structure inside. Fortunately, Xenophilius helped her, otherwise she would not be able to open the bottle.

After all, he is also a Ravenclaw. The eagle-shaped door knocker in their lounge likes to ask difficult questions. She has never seen an eagle who directly gives the answer.

Because they couldn't answer the questions and couldn't enter the study room, there were many Ravenclaws trapped at the door. No one was as embarrassed as Severus. A Slytherin actually threatened to sleep at the door of the Gryffindor lounge.

For some things, just saying sorry will not necessarily lead to forgiveness. Unfortunately, many people are used to generous forgiveness from their loved ones, so that they suddenly find that when they say sorry but are not forgiven, they still feel that the other person is unreasonable.

Mother Teresa said: We think of poverty as hunger, lack of clothing, and lack of a house. However, the greatest poverty is not being needed, having no love, and not being cared for.

People who once loved you and cared about you no longer love you and don't care what you did wrong, even if you had become successful and were surrounded by false friends and real enemies.

Lily chose her own path, and Severus also chose his. One joined the Order of the Phoenix and the other joined the Death Eaters. She didn't care at all what Severus did among the Death Eaters.

She had her own life, James, Sirius and Harry Potter, and she lived happily until the day the prophecy reached Voldemort's ears.

For some people, it is difficult to understand that "not being needed" is a kind of poverty. Sirius was eager to put himself to use, but he was not strong enough, so he had to donate the ancestral home of the Black family to be the headquarters of the Order of the Phoenix.

Severus is the chief of the Order of the Phoenix besides Moody, but he does not participate in many of the Order's actions.

One is because of his status as a double agent, and the other is because Moody cannot trust him.

"Not needed" means being left idle. Before the Battle of the Ministry of Magic, Albus drained the last bit of Severus' value. His status, academic papers and authority were all used by Albus.

Deal, what else can he do besides stay in school and be with his children?

In the eyes of the Death Eaters who escaped from Azkaban, Dean Slytherin was still the useless half-blood wizard. After all, they had stayed in prison for more than ten years.

If you are not needed, you cannot find the meaning of your existence. This kind of "poverty" is what Mother Teresa said.

If this metaphor is still difficult to understand, it is like soldiers during war. During war, they were made into heroes. In peacetime, they are no longer needed. They are replaced by various people, like the Beatles.

Rock singers, business celebrities, movie stars.

And how useful these people can be in the war.

No matter how sharp the iron sword is, if you don't pay attention to maintenance, it will be difficult to defeat the enemy when it gets rusty.

Force is necessary, whether it is to deal with wild animals or enemies that invade your home.

Sometimes Pomona feels a little disappointed when she sees the Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw boys, who are not as aggressive as the Gryffindor and Slytherin boys.

But they also have their own advantages, such as gentleness and tolerance, which happen to be female characteristics. Who calls Rowena Ravenclaw and Helga Hufflepuff women?

Children in Badger Yard generally have little ambition and have long since accepted that they are idiots.

But they will still bite when they are provoked. Draco and the search team bullied the new student of the Badger House. He was turned into a slug by Hannah and the others on the train... Did he deserve it?

"What are you thinking about?" Severus asked with a frown.

"I'm settling the score." Pomona said, counting on her fingers. "Draco bullied the freshmen of our college, and Hannah helped him regain his place. Can they be considered even?"

"He was turned into a slug," Severus said. "A Malfoy was turned into a slug!"

"Whatever Malfoy he is, oh, I have to apologize to Hannah when I go back. I wrongly blamed her." Pomona repented seriously. "Although Draco's subsequent experience is very sympathetic, it's the same thing.

Same thing."

"You think he deserves that?" Draco's godfather hissed.

Pomona looked at the stars in the sky and thought.

"Yes, who told him to bully the weak?" Draco's godmother thought about it and replied, "That nasty little bastard."

Severus looked like he wanted to discuss with Pomona whether Draco should be turned into a slug for bullying the new students.

Just when he rolled up his sleeves and was about to list "10,000 reasons why Malfoy cannot be punished," Voldemort had already chosen the treasure room and entered it.

"Are you going to choose a treasure room by yourself, or come with me?" Pomona asked.

"I'm with you." Xenophilius said with a sad face, Severus' wand had been raised to the tip of his nose.

"When did you think it was unacceptable for Malfoy to be turned into a slug?" Pomona smiled happily. "Don't you also think the 'peacock' looks stupid?"

The protective headmaster of Slytherin looked at her proud smile and pursed his lips in anger.

The old bat who was so eloquent when he was sarcastic thought for a long time but couldn't find the right words. Finally, he took her hand and randomly selected a treasure room to enter.

After passing through the black gauze curtain, what appeared in front of them made them open their eyes wide.

"You are finally here!" said the flame-shaped liquid that emitted soft golden light in the magic circle like an armillary sphere and illuminated the entire treasure room. "Let me out quickly! As long as you agree to my request, I will satisfy you."

A wish.”

It made a child-like sound, as if it were a star that hadn't grown up yet.

"I think you are the Sun Gold." Pomona said after a while.

"Yes, it's me!" Yang Jin urged anxiously, "Stop dawdling, hurry up! I don't want to stay in this place for a second longer!"
