Harry Potter Morning Light
Chapter 2899 Water and Dream (2)
In the early 1970s, the London government did an important job of building ugly houses and relocating thousands of people who were crammed into stairwells in high-rise buildings, or packed into crowded basement compartments. Once inside, all Londoners, men, women, young and old, had a place to live.
Then across the UK, major cities are carrying out municipal planning. Birmingham, Bristol, Liverpool, Nottingham, Newcastle and Glasgow have all demolished the Victorian buildings in the city center and replaced them with roads to ease traffic congestion. However, while these buildings representing the honor of citizens were demolished, the newly built roads did not make transportation much easier, so the trails became a panacea for improving traffic in the eyes of London planners.
The long and narrow alleys are in stark contrast to the open square, creating a staggered effect under the effect of light and shadow. The party in power at the time intended to turn London into a motorway network, and despite being defeated in the 1973 general election, the new ruling party scrapped the motorway network plan and construction of extensions of the city's arterial roads had already begun.
During the same period, two subways were also built in London. The Groning mining machine company made a lot of money, but it was not he who ran the company at the time, but his father. He passed away before he married Petunia, and he was only in his 20s. Fernon Dursley took over the company left by his father.
He did not propose to Petunia until his career was stable. Minerva did not say in detail where the Dursleys lived. It was probably located in the Little Whinging district of London, where the houses were all of the same style. , while looking very neat and tidy, it is also difficult to tell which one belongs to the Dursley family from so many houses.
This is probably the product of the post-war real estate development in the 1950s. Many townhouses in London that had experienced the bombing were razed to the ground. The council decided to build a public housing project and move the citizens of the most damaged areas to these houses. In the past, although many people sneered at this kind of independent houses full of rural flavor, they believed that there should be modern buildings in the new city.
From similar housing structures, Pomona observed that many families had two children. In other words, it wasn't that the Dursleys didn't have extra room for Harry to live in, so they let him live in the cupboard.
If Petunia and Fernon had plans to have a second child, but because of Harry, they had to cancel the plan and Dudley was forced to become an only child, then a lot of things could be explained. Multiple siblings would care for each other, and Lily sent the baby to Penny's house after her death.
In fact, there is another way for Lily to take care of her sister and brother-in-law's feelings and not marry James. Of course, this kind of thinking is ridiculous. Why does Lily act according to her sister's wishes? But for the "obedient" younger sister, she will listen to her elder sister's opinion and stop interacting with the "little gangster".
Lily made her own choice, bid farewell to Petunia and everything in the past, and became a witch in the wizarding world. In fact, there are still witches who live in the Muggle world. Even if the inside is different, they can still dress and blend into the crowd, such as those female staff of the Ministry of Magic.
All in all, Pomona decided to give Fernon Dursley a larger box car. Of course, he wanted to keep this matter from Penny. With this car, it would be convenient for Fernon to go to work, and it would be convenient for the children to go out to play in the future. Convenience, no need to squeeze in the back of his current car with company advertisements painted on the body.
Changing a car is not a trivial matter, but having a new car will always make you happier, and you can go for an outing in a farther place, even Godric's Hollow, where there are... well, simple folk customs.
Gryffindor girls have always been like this. They are still better than boys. At best, they are righteous, and at worst, they anger the lion, which means that you will be torn to pieces. Although the college manual says that the other party has done something that makes you angry, you should calm down, calm down, and calm down again, but the reality is often that you can't calm down.
Anger not only breeds violence, but also acts recklessly without listening to other people's advice. Petunia said that she wanted to raise Harry to be a "decent person", which means that their family should be decent. Let Petunia slowly figure it out. It's better to have someone to persuade and guide. Pomona has never seen a man who doesn't like it. Even Arthur had an illegally converted Ford Anglia.
It wasn't a small amount of money, and she didn't know anything about cars, so it might be better to send a check to Fernon and let him choose. For this reason, she had to go to Gringotts, have the goblin exchange Galleons for Muggle notes, and then go to the bank to open an account.
Sending a check is not something an owl can do. Pomona decided to find the number of Dursley Mining Machinery Company in the phone book. In the red public phone booth, after confirming that Fernon Dursley works there, She put the check and the letter on the front desk of the company.
She waited all afternoon in the restaurant opposite the company's entrance, and left after confirming that Fei Nong had indeed received the letter. Although getting what is on the "Happiness Handbook" does not necessarily mean that everyone is happy, but most people do.
Of course there is another option, to pursue something different from others, but the price may be exclusion from society, even your family and community.
Because to put it simply, if you don't make money, then you are a loser. Disabled people will be "inspirational". How can people with good hands and feet not go out to work to make money?
As long as you work hard and are smart enough, you have the opportunity to achieve a high standard of living; it is not hard enough that makes you live so poorly, as if everyone is a potential millionaire.
Everything will be fine, always will be, if you try hard enough.
If you don't choose this kind of positive encouragement and "let yourself fall", then it is your own choice.
Anyone who says that despair is more powerful than hope will be accused of spreading negativity.
Many dramas about the struggle between justice and evil, light and darkness end with justice and light defeating evil and darkness.
But it is with darkness that there is light. They are interdependent, and neither can exist without the other. The two are a unified whole.
Without movement, there is no stillness, without cold, there is no warmth. In one hypothesis of the end of the universe, there is a "heat death", where there is no more energy to sustain motion or life due to thermal equilibrium.
This is indeed quite "negative", but not "positive".
Of course, this is just a hypothesis, let alone billions of years later, even one year later, no one can predict.
But this involves a theological problem, that is, the problem of eternity and time.
Truth must be eternal, but if the universe is not eternal, there is no eternal truth, the universe changes with time.
Epicureans advocate "happiness", which is "no pain in the body and no trouble in the soul", and they oppose the indulgence and pleasure of ancient Rome. Constant drinking for pleasure and feasting on delicacies do not make life happy .
Happiness lies in the tranquility of the mind, which is based on people's clear understanding of the natural world and social life. Although Isidora's magic made his father "no pain in body and no trouble in soul", he lost his clear understanding, which is also different from Epicurus' theory.
Albus says "the talisman of eternity" and that running away from pain is unlucky in "eternity".
But not everyone has a strong will and does not succumb to pain, especially when there are people who show off their successes and criticize the losers.
It's a kick-the-cat effect where bosses use their subordinates as punching bags, as Fernon does in the office and Tobias does at home. But Fernon didn't yell at Petunia and Dali at home, but yelled at Harry. Where did his pressure come from?
The mining machine makes a lot of noise when it is working, and the noise can also cause stress, and she looked at the Grunning company, and it is not that the performance is so good that big capital has the intention to acquire it, and it does not even work in an office building. After the wave of urban development and real estate passes, his company will struggle to survive. He has two children and a full-time housewife to support, one of which is not his own.
He kept silent after learning that Petunia had a witch sister, instead of leaving Petunia decisively, or reporting it to newspapers and TV stations.
If the Dursleys couldn't tolerate anything related to magic, and Lily couldn't tolerate the dark arts, the epitaph "Love is patience" didn't suit their family.
Strolling on the trail, Pomona looked at this ever-changing city. Sometimes such a person is nice, and loneliness is actually not so unbearable.
