Harry Potter Morning Light

Nearly the whole of Mr. Bennet's fortune is in one estate, which gives him an income of two thousand pounds a year. As for the estate, it is the misfortune of his daughters. As he has no son, the estate has to be passed on to a distant relative. Come to inherit, as for their mother's property, it can be considered a large sum in such a family, but in fact it is not enough to make up for his loss...

Pomona read Jane Austen's novel aloud, Severus didn't listen carefully, he was staring at the rain outside the window in a daze.

She didn't care, anyway, sitting on his lap and reading a book was quite comfortable. The Alps were quite cold after the rain, and it was still warm without having to light a fire.

The situation of werewolves is worse than that of vampires. In the Guidelines for the Treatment of Non-Wizards and Semi-Humans, it is clearly stipulated that hunting vampires is not allowed, but hunting werewolves is not prohibited.

Mr. Fawn is actually not as vicious as he looks, especially because he still has sympathy for Remus. Pomona promised him that she would not force him to do what he didn't want to do like Dumbledore, and he didn't want to participate. Don't go on that occasion.

At this time, she had already changed out of the long green dress and put on a white imperial high-waisted skirt.

In fact, looking at it from another angle, the era of Jane Austen happened to be the imperial era, so even though it was a dress that should be displayed in a museum, Pomona still wore it.

The desire to conquer is natural and normal. If you succeed, you will always be praised and will not be condemned. If you can't conquer and try to conquer at any cost, this is a big mistake and should be condemned.

Severus said suddenly, and Pomona stopped reading.

The sentence he just said comes from the theory of monarchy. The author analyzed that Louis XII attacked Naples under Spanish rule as soon as he took the throne, trying to occupy it for himself, but Pomona felt that Severus might be thinking of someone else .

For example, Voldemort who wants to conquer death, who believes that collecting the Deathly Hallows can become the master of death, and the epitaphs of James and Lily:

The last enemy to eliminate is death.

Why did it stop? Severus asked.

I'm thinking about what you said just now. She was playing with the buttons on his coat. Do you think he's right?

I want to know your opinion. He sat in a different position, and she was taken aback because she almost slipped off his lap just now.

Do you know what the premise of utilitarianism is?

Severus thought for a moment: Pursue the greatest happiness.

This is part of it. The bigger premise is that the group has a common moral concept. As you said before, the desire to conquer is natural and normal. If you succeed, you will always be praised, not condemned, and you will be condemned if you fail. It is the current general morality in the West. During the Victorian period, the British set up overseas colonies everywhere, and the products of the colonies allowed the British to live a prosperous life. We can define people at that time as 'happy'.

But. He said it for her.

For the exploiting and squeezing colonies, the rule of the British brought misfortune to them. Their moral values ​​are different from those of the utilitarian British. Utilitarianism cannot be implemented in other countries, so I think the common morality Viewpoint is the premise and foundation of utilitarianism.”

Severus looked surprised.

Is this what you think?

Otherwise, who do you think? Albus also advocates 'for the greater good'. The happiness of society is measured by the greatest happiness of the greatest number. He, Grindelwald and the Dark Lord both agree on the definition of 'most'. no the same.

Because he included Muggles, Severus said.

No, Muggle children ruined his family. He also shared the same ambitions as Grindelwald at one point. He represented the interests of those who did not want to lose their loved ones because of the war. Pomona pinched the snotlite's nose Whether it's Muggles, Squibs or wizards, as long as they are anti-war, he is on his side, but he is not a pacifist. He will still participate in some battles that cannot be avoided. He just tries to keep the damage to a minimum. Use the minimum To obtain the greatest results at the price of victory, to win more with less, and never tire of deceit, the Dark Lord was tricked by the old fool's tricks.

Naughty. He also pinched her nose, although it hurt a little, but at least he had a smile on his face, not as gloomy as before.

Although the Dark Lord grew up in a Muggle orphanage, he still has the arrogance of an aristocrat in his bones. He believes that a duel should be decided by his own strength, just like a knight in the Middle Ages, holding a spear, riding a war horse, and wearing an iron can. It's brave and fearless to do so, but don't you think... Pomona wanted to find an appropriate adjective to describe it.

Pedantic, Severus added.

Yeah, that's what I was trying to say. She clapped her hands together The old madman said the old fool was a hypocrite, he's not so pedantic, he'll use whatever 'works for me', whether it's a thief or a werewolf.

And me, an ex-Death Eater. He narrowed his eyes with a smile. Go on.

Say what? she asked stupidly.

I don't know, what do you think?

My mind is blank right now. She replied honestly, Give me a hint.

Then he kissed her, so passionately that no one would have guessed that there was a love side to the vicious and mean Snape.

I can't think about you...

Then don't think about it. He interrupted her, and planned to lean over to kiss her again.

Cough cough.

There was a coughing sound at the door.

It's lunchtime, Felix said awkwardly.

Pomona quickly stood up from his knees, facing away from him, arranging her clothes and hair.

Aren't you going to find food in the kitchen yourself? Severus snarled grimly.

I've already eaten. Felix said in a low voice, I'm here to remind you, don't focus on love, forget to eat lunch, and be careful of stomach pains.

After he finished speaking, he ran away, and the study was extremely quiet for a while.

After a while, Pomona suddenly burst out laughing.

What are you laughing at? The old bat muttered angrily.

Beware of stomach pains, hahahaha. Pomona imitated Felix's tone and laughed nonstop.

Severus stared at her, made her laugh wildly for a moment, then stood up suddenly and hugged her.

Amidst her screams, he lifted her up and circled her in the study.

She likes the soothing and peaceful feeling, which is also the characteristic of Austen's works. There is no hoarse confession, and there is no Conan Doyle-style suspense. She always narrates stories about love slowly in a gentle and calm tone. Those life-like details make people who read her books feel very comfortable.

Her book is the cure, but Pomona doesn't think Mr. Darcy will fall in love with Elizabeth if she doesn't worship money.

Jane was just a woman in the Victorian period. She didn't really understand the men of that period, just like people in this era don't understand the people around them. At least she didn't read The Monarch.

Napoleon kept this book by his bedside, taking war and conquest for granted.

He is loved by the French and hated by people from other countries. In fact, he should already know that France has declined and he has no power to recover.

In human social life, self-interested choice occupies a dominant position, and everyone is the best judge of his own happiness in theory.

However, this kind of judgment is easily swayed by other people's opinions, and the happiness in the eyes of everyone is regarded as our own happiness.

Whatever can bring him the greatest sense of happiness, no matter what kind of result it will bring to the happiness of all other than himself, he will go all out to pursue it. This is an inevitable tendency of human nature, even if this behavior is self-interested at the expense of others.

According to Bentham, everyone knows what is happiness and what is pain, so everyone knows what happiness is.

But in fact, many people don't know that many people include Voldemort and Pomona.

He married her and was absolutely loyal to her physically, but who was he thinking in his heart?

Will there always be that pure lily in his heart?

If so, then her happiness at this moment is all false happiness, she wants more, and she didn't think so at the beginning.

She hoped that he could look at her and pay attention to her, even though the relationship was built on lust from the beginning, she still regarded herself as his mistress.

If safety and equality cannot be compatible, equality must be abandoned and the safety of private property maintained. Private property in capitalist society is sacred and inviolable, and the werewolf's behavior of obtaining property by stealing and killing violates this rule, so the equality they want will never be realized.

Vampires are much smarter. They know how to deceive, disguise, and engage in other industries to gain wealth. They are also non-wizard half-humans, and their status is much higher than werewolves.

Such is the case in this utilitarian world, the process of changing from self-interest to self-sacrifice is difficult.

If left alone, Lupine and Tonks' children will be discriminated against and called You have a werewolf father when they enter school.

He may even be a descendant of Helga Hufflepuff.

In Jane's story, Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy get married, which is as happy as a fairy tale ending, but it's just the beginning of life.

Pomona looked at Severus, who was very happy now, and she hoped that he would always be so happy. It would be great if there were only the two of them in the whole world.

Because then the calculus of pleasure and pain, happiness and unhappiness, would be less difficult to solve.
