Chapter 2961 "The best follower"

Each game has its own competition rules. Before the age of 11, Muggles study with Muggles. In addition to learning basic subjects such as language, writing, mathematics, etc., they must also learn to obey like their Muggle friends and prepare for the future.

Preparing for "living together".

Every society has its own norms and standards. Ferondesli relied on this to gain a firm foothold in society, and he was proud of it. After arriving in the magical world, the first thing to do was to abandon those things that he had done before.

Rules learned in school and at home, observance of "wizard's" laws and another system.

Grindelwald said in a speech in Paris that wizards will live for freedom, truth and love.

The power of destruction is like fireworks, with an ultimate and short-lived beauty. The more convinced you are of the beautiful "future", the more unbearable the "now" becomes. However, Grindelwald did not describe the "future" he designed in detail.

, but to tell others what will happen if they don't stand up and resist. This happens to be what he is good at - prophecy.

What he said was the truth, but not all of it was true, especially after that dazzling bright light flashed. There is a difference between real light and light that creates illusions. People who are in the halo effect will unconsciously

Beautify the other party. Just like a person who has a high income, but his expenses are also very high, resulting in making ends meet. In practice, careerists will put on disguises that are more difficult to identify. On the surface, Grindelwald seems to be a person in the dark.

The wizards brought light, but will the "machine" rebuilt after destruction operate as normally as he imagined?

Although the mysterious man did not shout loud slogans like Grindelwald, the wizards who have been suppressed for a long time also hope to be able to freely exercise their power, or as Barnaby's father said, as long as they are as powerful as the mysterious man, they will not do anything.

Nothing can be done.

According to Salazar Slytherin's leftover manuscript, Gryffindor values ​​"potential" more, regardless of whether the person with potential comes from a wizarding family or a Muggle.

Pain can stimulate people's potential to a certain extent, which is why black magic is so powerful. In theory, the magic learned in school will not cause permanent pain to students, and even evil curses can be broken.

People long for strong people to lead them, but what kind of person is strong? According to humanistic standards, it is efficient writing and speaking skills. There were many orators in ancient Greece and Rome. Originally, I wrote my thesis after entering university.

It started, but Albus felt that this was something that students at Hogwarts needed to master. In a sense, he and Grindelwald were indeed close friends.

The Mysterious Man does not rely on anyone. He is a very independent and proud person. Pomona once told Severus that he despises the hardships of fate, and the Mysterious Man will even despise those who offend him.

Why do people seek revenge? It is because our glory has been harmed by our opponents. In order to repair the damaged glory, we want to prove ourselves by fighting back.

In the eyes of the mysterious man, those who offended him were just weak people who could not recognize the facts. He killed them as a punishment and there was no element of revenge in it. He did not act like a Muggle dictator.

Became Minister for Magic because he felt he was above the political game and had a "greater purpose."

The "mushroom" Severus gave her could not be found in "A Thousand Magic Herbs and Mushrooms". The missing part of Osiris's body that Severus collected on behalf of Isis in ancient Egypt later became

The symbol of Hermes in ancient Greece.

Resurrection first requires a body. In theory, the Philosopher's Stone can create a perfect body, but even alchemists who are regarded as heretics regard artificial humans as a taboo.

As long as you don't know it, you won't pursue it. Many people regard the story of the Deathly Hallows as a fairy tale, but some people still take it seriously, and the Elder Wand often appears with dark wizards.

I haven't heard that the Resurrection Stone can create a new body like the Philosopher's Stone, but how can it be considered resurrection without a body?

In the phlogiston theory, fire is a material entity, like water, wind, and earth elements. This is contrary to the Muggle theory of oxidation, because oxidation is the process of combining burning materials with oxygen in the air.

Taking the Philosopher's Stone can lead to immortality, but it cannot be broken. Once the Philosopher's Stone is gone, or it is stolen for other reasons, people will die, so the mysterious man is studying something more eccentric.

"You know what it is?" Pomona asked as she sipped her eggnog.

Severus shook his head "I don't know."

Then he also took a sip of eggnog.

"He doesn't trust you?" Pomona asked.

"I told you, he is a very independent person. If he relies on and gets used to one person for a long time, he will be chained. He is unwilling to notice and admit it under any circumstances." Severus said.

"Including Bella?" Pomona asked.

Severus seemed to feel that she was unable to communicate, looking at the fire in the fireplace.

"Dumbledore talks about love, but his true nature is indifferent and cautious. He only pretends to be happy or crazy in order not to hurt the people around him."

"Wow, the mysterious man can even see this?" Pomona marveled.

"No, this is my observation." said the former Death Eater, "He has always lived in various dependencies, but thought he was free."

Pomona looked at the ceiling and thought for a moment.

"He is very proud, loves power, and wants to occupy an amazing position in the history of magic, but I see that he spends most of his time in school." Pomona turned his attention to Severus. "The only thing he has is

Freedom means allowing students to freely choose the tune of the school song."

"He relieved you of your troubles with just one sentence. If Rita Kist was still in the Daily Prophet, do you think you could stay here and drink eggnog in peace now?" he said mockingly.

"Do you want to be like him?" Pomona asked expressionlessly.

The smile on his face disappeared.

"You men are always so keen on power." She said coldly.

"Don't you like it?" he asked rhetorically. "One thing I noticed is, why aren't there any books on the history of Salem in school? You know, as an important historical node, isn't that very inappropriate?"

She thought of Malfoy who wanted to remove the Fountain of Good Luck from the library bookshelf, and was about to speak.

"There is a victim, John Alden. Do you know who he is?" Severus asked.

"You just said that," Pomona said.

Severus sneered.

"What do you want to say?" Pomona asked.

"Cooper means cooper. There was a cooper named John Alden on the Mayflower. After he landed, he became a community leader and the Sheriff of Plymouth. In 1634, he was involved in a transaction.

Conflict at the trading point, and the arrest of then-Governor Winthrop, who both Massachusetts and Plymouth at the time believed had jurisdiction over the trading point, led to the trial of 66-year-old John Alden 55 years later."

"Wait a minute." Pomona said, "Wouldn't that be..."

"John Alden, who was being tried in Salem, was only 11 years old at the time. Do you think he could have become the Sheriff?" Severus asked.

"Of course it's impossible, but the cooper on the Mayflower..."

"Fourteen years have passed since the Mayflower landed in the New World. He got married there, had children, became a respected man, and lived until 1680."

"So this John Alden on trial is his son?" Pomona asked.

"The members of the jury at that time all owned hundreds of thousands of acres of New England land, and most importantly, each of their names appeared on the new charter." Severus said. "You understand what this means.

?”

Pomona kept her mouth shut.

He stood up, walked to Pomona's ear, and whispered in her ear, as if telling a secret that could not be told.

"Even the Inspector General is new, you understand now."

He said finally, then retreated to his seat and sat down.

"Who told you?" Pomona asked.

"I guessed it," Severus said.

She now began to understand why the mysterious man valued the information he mentioned so much.

"It's such a long time ago, when did those dancing mandrakes mature?" Pomona asked.

"I don't know, I just followed the instructions in the book." He said lightly, as if he had no interest.

"Do you like your life now?" Pomona asked.

He didn't speak.

"I quite like talking to you, Severus. You are welcome to come again, provided you are not imprisoned in Azkaban." Pomona said coldly and stood up. "Do you still want a glass of eggnog?"

"

"No, thank you." He said boringly, put down the glass, and then stood up.

After looking at each other for a while, he left her office without looking back.

"Good night." Pomona said after the office door was slammed shut.

Then her eyes turned to the bookshelf.

Unruly women are not uncommon in history. In fact, after the god Uranus was attacked by Gaia, he also lost part of his body and fell into the sea, becoming Venus.

At this moment, fire appeared in front of her eyes, as if the bookshelf and the books on it were going to be burned down.

"You are such a dangerous follower," Pomona said, then she walked to the bedroom and left two unfinished glasses of eggnog on the coffee table.
