"Evans, wait, Evans!"
The last class of Gryffindor on Friday was the Potions class. Lily and the other girls in this house left Slughorn's classroom talking and laughing, with James Potter chasing after her as usual.
later.
It happened that Slytherin's last class that day was History of Magic. They walked to the lounge after class, and happened to squeeze into the same passage as Gryffindor who was leaving the cellar. They intentionally or unintentionally blocked Gryffindor's
The Quidditch captain's path did not allow him to move forward smoothly.
"She can't hear you, Potter." A Slytherin boy laughed loudly.
But James seemed not to hear, and used his physical strength to push forward, and finally he collided head-on with a Slytherin.
"Can't you hear what others are saying, Potter?" Severus Snape said venomously.
"Get out of the way." James pushed Snape away in disgust, as if he had seen a bed bug.
Nerds were obviously no match for athletes, but Snape didn't give up just because he was pushed aside.
"Are your ears blocked by earwax?" Snape said.
James turned back and smiled at Snape.
"I'm sorry, I'm lucky and can't hear ghosts," James said.
"You'd better keep your mouth shut to prevent others from knowing that you are a fool and that your brain capacity is not as large as earwax," said Snape.
Now James was irritated and was about to rush over to teach Snape a lesson, but was stopped by Malfoy.
"Calm down, gentlemen," Malfoy said glibly. "We have other ways of dealing with this problem."
"That face of yours is stained with my saliva, you snot-snot," James said to Snape.
"The secret to your survival is to stay stupid and not know how stupid you are." Snape sneered, "You can even show off by reading a book."
Of course Lucius Malfoy would not let James Potter hurt Snape. They argued for a long time and finally broke up on bad terms. James continued to look for Lily, and Snape and Malfoy returned to the common room.
————————————————————————————————————
Pomona changed into new pajamas and returned to the office. The grown-up Severus Snape was reading behind her desk. He is now the youngest Head of Slytherin in history.
Before he was officially engaged to Narcissa, Lucius also had a girlfriend, but he would not try to challenge the stairs in the girls' lounge like those silly boys. Instead, he would ask the girl to spend the weekend outside the school.
Pomona now extremely suspected that Sif had learned bad things from Lucius Malfoy, although it was not the first time that he stayed at the door of a girl's dormitory.
"You also want to study?" He said without looking up from the book.
"I can't sleep with you outside!" Pomona said coldly.
"That's not what you said last time." He said in a long tone.
She was so angry. Where did he learn this shamelessness?
He was concentrating on reading, not looking at her face at all.
Pomona finally gave up, found a book from the bookshelf, took it back to the preparation room, and read it while lying on the bed.
She didn't read the content of the book at all. All she could think about was Gellert Grindelwald.
Although Grindelwald was handsome as a boy in the history of magic, she was thinking about him in middle age and the "greater good" that he and Albus Dumbledore believed in together.
For the "greater good", Dumbledore could break the blood oath they made when they were young and harm or stop Grindelwald.
And Grindelwald also violated the highest principle of the prophet - not to lie?
A truly dishonest person will choose such an attitude towards life. He will wait for the right time to lie, which will bring him greater benefits than telling small lies. The purpose of what he does is to make others believe in him and feel that he is honest.
He was a reputable man and even handed over his will to him.
The ancient Romans also called trust wills "100% lucky", as long as the trustee does not leave anything to the beneficiaries. There was once a businessman who had an only daughter. According to the law, she could not obtain inheritance rights, so he gave all his assets to
She married a friend, who didn't even give her a single dinar.
When people become rational, they also introduce the concept of justice into their work when formulating laws. A dead person cannot convey his true intentions.
The high priests introduced the principle of "good faith", rather than trying to use advent rites, or conveying oracles like priestesses, they appeared more in events interpreting the law.
If a person believes that lying is wrong whenever, wherever, and no matter what others think, there are very good reasons to believe that it is okay to lie.
Just like loving someone, when she is no longer young and beautiful, when he has nothing, it still won't change, even if she or he has married someone else.
Society still needs rules. If all moral concepts are respected, then society cannot be maintained in essence. Everyone has the right to have personal preferences, but if people do not abide by the rules and rob others like the French patriarch Lestrange,
If you are a married woman, there is no need for marriage and family to exist.
Many animals in nature do not have this organizational concept. In order to obtain a mate, male animals will compete with each other, and the winner in the end gets the right to mate.
This is not even "natural selection, survival of the fittest", because this is also a rule.
Killing is wrong in the eyes of absolutists. Killing is not allowed under any circumstances, but it is okay in some cases, such as for revenge, or to kill someone to prevent him from causing more damage. Like Lita Rice
Strange tried to destroy Paris by Grindelwald, but although she failed, Nicoléme stepped in to stop the unholy "demon fire".
Doing so is inconsistent with utilitarianism because their calculations are not based on "life" but on pain and pleasure.
There are many people whose lives are worse than death, and the end is a relief for them.
She didn't know why, but she remembered the face of Rita Lestrange she saw in the pensieve. It was not an expression of generosity and sacrifice.
The pain was too much, beyond her ability to bear, so she chose a meaningful way to die?
Pomona didn't understand Lita, they had never met, and she wasn't even born when Lita died.
For ordinary people, marriage is closely related to joy and happiness. Lestrange's second wife just married him and became a bond between the two families. Pompey's wife Julia died due to dystocia, which was very important to her.
The stability of the Triumvirate of Caesar, Pompey and Crassus dealt a fatal blow.
Whether she was lucky or unlucky in this marriage, whether she loved it or not, it was not important to prevent the civil war from happening.
Grindelwald is not like Tom Riddle. He did not frame Hagrid and bear the blame for the death of a Muggle. Tom usually behaves very well. Who would doubt an top student like him?
She didn't know who the real murderer was, but Tom did lead people to believe that the eight-eyed spider was the murderer. Although the eight-eyed spider's venom was deadly, Myrtle was not poisoned.
What the Ministry of Magic wants to maintain is "peace". As long as a murderer is found and takes responsibility, it doesn't matter whether he is the real murderer or not.
"If Hagrid puts Sparky in his vegetable garden," said Pomona as she lay on the bed, "will the Ministry of Magic harm it?"
"Is this what you really want to ask?" Severus asked.
What she actually wanted to ask was how Severus had convinced Hagrid that Hagrid would not put Sparky in danger. He hid it, and if it weren't for the fact that Sparky felt hungry and hot and left the hiding place,
No one will find it.
"That animal has not caused any harm so far. 'Danger' is what the Ministry of Magic calls itself. Just because someone says 'exists' does not mean something must really exist," Severus said.
"I think I saw it somewhere," Pomona recalled.
"Kant." Severus said coldly.
"Oh, I remember." She said casually, and then tried to remember the troublesome derivation process.
Then she heard footsteps, Severus walked in through the open door, came to her bedside, and sat down next to her legs.
"We can go through the process of newly discovered species, so that they can't execute it at will." Severus said softly, like a slanderous traitor.
"Do you really want to save Sparks?" Pomona said softly, sounding like she was talking in her sleep.
"No." He touched her cheek with his hand that smelled of potion. "I don't want you to be unhappy."
She couldn't tell whether what he said was true or false.
Maybe it was the potion in his hand that made her unable to think.
"What's your first principle?" Pomona asked.
"What first principle?" he said, staring at her lips.
"A prophet cannot lie." The breath blowing from her mouth brought a tingling sensation, as if someone was stroking her lips with a finger. "But for the greater good, he violated this principle."
He sobered up a little.
"What do you think they mean by 'the greater good'?" Pomona asked. "I guess it has nothing to do with utilitarianism."
"In order for more people to live happily, even if one innocent person is sacrificed." Severus said.
"Maybe Dumbledore is, do you think Grindelwald is that kind of person?" Pomona asked.
While he was thinking, Pomona grabbed his hand and used his arms to straighten his upper body, clinging to him like a vine.
"Are you jealous that James is luckier than you?" Pomona asked, leaning on his shoulder and massaging his arm.
"He is luckier than many people," he said calmly.
He didn't say what he was feeling, but she didn't intend to delve into it.
"Are you jealous of Lily?" Severus asked.
She just didn't want to be asked this question, so she didn't delve into it further.
So she stopped massaging, closed her eyes, and pretended to be asleep.
"You are so much more beautiful than her, how could you be jealous of her?" he said as if to himself.
