Chapter 2914 The Language of Butterflies (4)
Pomona walked up the steps to the principal's office.
"What for a drink?" Albus asked.
"Nothing," Pomona replied. "I drank a lot of pumpkin soda at the party just now."
Albus didn't force it either, they both knew she wasn't called here for a drink this time.
"What are you going to do about Miss Irene Aiken," said Albus.
"If she's going to go to Hogwarts and go to Hufflepuff, and after a vote, other people are willing to admit her, then we'll admit her," Pomona said.
"Don't you think it's too much of a fuss, Professor?" Albus asked.
"Are you trying to say she's a child?" Pomona asked.
"I don't want to ask you to forgive me, Professor, I just want to ask you to pay attention and make a rational judgment." Albus said.
"If children want to go to any college, they can go to that college. Aren't we the same as Ifrmoney School of Witchcraft and Wizardry? What I maintain is the tradition of the school, Albus, a tradition that has existed for thousands of years."
"Traditions can change, too," said Albus.
"I'm not here to argue with you. If after the sorting ceremony is done by Miss Aiken, anyone can forcefully ask to go to the college they want because they are not satisfied with the decision of the sorting hat, then this sorting ceremony will be useless. "
"What about your sympathy because of tradition?" Albus asked.
"Sympathy for what? She can't get what she wants?" Pomona asked rhetorically.
"Do you know what kind of person Miss Aiken is?" Albus asked. "Do you know what she went through in order to attend the magic school?"
"'This is our way of life'. Sympathy for the misfortune of others is a virtue praised by Cicero, but if you talk to me about irrational sympathy, I don't agree with it. Compassion must allow justice to be upheld."
"And you think upholding tradition is upholding justice?" Albus asked.
"Why did you insist on branching when you established the school?" Pomona asked back. "I think you should have noticed, Albus, that every college is somewhat infected with the personality traits of the founder, not to mention that if you abolish the branch, the whole of England will The wizarding world will be against you, whether you are the hero who defeated Grindelwald or not."
Albus was getting a little angry, but Pomona wouldn't budge.
"I don't think you need to organize a vote," said Albus after a moment. "As long as you can accept her, no one else will complain."
"I respect everyone's opinion," Pomona said.
"Did you really think that, or did you create a barrier on purpose." Albus raised his voice.
"No," Pomona said. "Why do you think so?"
"Your heart is disturbed now, Professor, a wise man should not have passions."
Pomona smiled wryly. Someone told her to have a "passio" before.
"Keep your emotions in check, you're a very wise man," said Albus.
Had it been before, Pomona might have felt a little happier.
The most irritating thing in the world is the idiot, and it is also the idiot who is least controlled by pride.
"Yes, Headmaster," said Pomona quietly.
"Miss Aiken will be in class with other people tomorrow, and I will find someone to arrange her accommodation." Albus waved his hand, "Go back."
Pomona bowed and left the principal's office.
On the way back, she kept thinking about it.
Man is allowed to have free will, so that if he chooses to do good, he will do good deeds. Even if someone does evil because of free will, it cannot be said that free will is wrong. If he does not do good Freedom, surrounded by evil. Just like the previous registered ballots, if the workers did not vote according to the request of the factory owner, and the factory owner looked through their voting records, they would be retaliated against.
Don't treat others how you don't want others to treat you.
Sometimes people's behavior will exceed the limit of everyone's tolerance, and some mistakes cannot be made once, because no matter how many times you say sorry, you cannot be forgiven.
Their miserable appearance will arouse sympathy, but those who sympathize with them will end up with the farmer in the story of the farmer and the snake. As long as they recover, they will not repent, nor will they remember any lessons.
Then a dragonfly flies by, and Pomona sees it, but doesn't chase it.
She had already got two keys, one opened the door of the library bookcase, which contained a ring with a fluorescent flashing magic effect, and a necklace, which was in the cabinet guarded by Peeves.
This is the path she chose. Whether she is pursuing going to heaven after death, or a person who is unscrupulous in pursuit of instant pleasure in this world, she is using the moral standards of this life in exchange for a kind of happiness.
If a person is already extremely beautiful, as Augustine said in the fourth question of the eighty-eighth question, as long as he is willing to maintain this beauty, nothing can stop him. If we admit that man's fall was the persuasion of another, we must begin by examining how the persuader himself fell.
So, have you fallen?
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Snape asked.
"Why are you here?" Pomona asked.
She tried to overlap the man in black and exuding dark tension with the boy who was kicked unconscious by the unicorn and fell asleep in the forbidden forest.
"You don't want to know the latest findings?" he said seductively.
She didn't want to know, in fact she wanted to be like any ordinary woman, leaning on his shoulder.
"You're thinking about Aiken?" he said again.
"Albus wants me to cancel the vote," said Pomona. "You see why?"
He was silent for a while.
"Sometimes people don't need to be clear about everything, just obedience is enough." He said slowly, "You can make her like your academy gradually."
"You heard what she said," Pomona said.
"Do you think we suffer less prejudice than you do?" Snape asked.
She pouted.
"Don't be so childish." He said as a lesson.
"Okay," said Pomona listlessly.
"I should be happy that you can listen to me patiently." Snape sighed, "You really don't look like Gryffindors."
Pomona remembered that Gryffindor often fought against Slytherin. Did he expect Hufflepuff to do the same?
Under the escort of Snape, Pomona went back to the cellar, and they went to the kitchen once. There was supposed to be tropical fruit ice cream tonight, but there was an accident when it was time to serve, although Paul couldn't talk to Pippi. He enters the kitchen like a ghost, but he can use "cannonballs" to attack, and the kitchen is full of paint.
"Why is he mad?" Snape asked.
"Peeves told him to sign a contract and kick him out." Pomona sighed helplessly. "I really don't understand how he can take it out on us."
"He knows he doesn't belong here, does he?" Snape asked again. "He has a manor."
"I think what he lacks is a playmate." Pomona said, "Paul carefully designed a 'paradise', but no one wants to come to play, and he left the manor in order to find someone to play with."
"You're sympathizing with him?" Snape said incredulously.
"I don't know... I told Albus that justice must be done with sympathy." Pomona looked at him and said, "But he did all that evil just to find someone to play with?"
"Don't think about him," said Snape, putting his arm around her head and kissing her forehead. "I'll take care of him."
Pomona took the opportunity to hug back.
She felt warm and safe, so he didn't fall, right?
She heard a rustling sound, like the rustling of clothes, or the whispering of a snake.
It is said that Lucifer fell because of pride. When he turned into a serpent and tempted Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden to eat the forbidden fruit, if it is true, as Augustine said, that man’s fall was due to another person’s persuasion, then we must examine this How the Persuader himself fell.
For example, not every passion—so far as we suffer from it—is a sin. So if someone says that if we suffer from fear, it's not a sin. This is a judgment given to oneself from a human point of view, although it may not be innocent in the eyes of God.
She raised her hand and touched his face lightly. Although he didn't have the brand of a sheep thief on his forehead, he looked like a bad guy.
It must have been a bad idea to introduce bad people into one's home, but she did it anyway.
"Albus says I'm an extremely intelligent person, but I don't think I'm."
"You're a fool." He followed her lead.
She felt sad, but not sad "What changed you?"
He looked at her in bewilderment.
"Satan became the serpent in the Garden of Eden, he committed the original sin of pride, and you?" Pomona said.
He laughed wickedly.
"Guess." He said lightly.
Pomona took his hand, left the busy corridor, and came to the office.
If not every passion is a sin, and if our fear is not a sin, then it is not a sin what she will do.
People in the subway, if they didn't want to live, who would panic and find a way to survive?
There are beautiful things in life that are worthy of nostalgia, but death is not a relief for everyone.
After the door closed, she didn't rush to flash with fluorescent lights.
Darkness can sometimes block people's sight and facilitate free movement. Otherwise, why do the children in the castle like night tours so much?
