Harry Potter Morning Light

The eyes are the lamp of the body. If your eyes are pure, your whole body will be bright; if your eyes are evil, your whole body will be dark.

— Luke

Once the snow-white sacrificial robe was covered with dust, it didn't look so holy, not to mention that the soil of Poveglia Island was covered with ashes. Pomona felt a little sympathetic as she followed those embarrassing priests far away.

It is rare to see young men willing to become Catholic priests. This kind of jungle adventure is not suitable for elderly people.

"You feel sorry for them?" said Voldemort, laughing with interest. "As a witch, you feel sorry for the priest?"

"I know." Pomona sighed helplessly. Her "feminine kindness" taught her a painful lesson. If she hadn't softened her heart to save Wormtail, perhaps nothing would have happened later.

"The old fool always put me in an evil and antagonistic position. I never thought about whether Muggles would like us to live in peace. Do you think the witch hunt in the Middle Ages will not reappear?"

Pomona didn't answer.

"At the beginning, Muggles didn't believe in magic. When the weather got worse, they blamed wizards. When the plague broke out, they said it was black magic cast by wizards. Hypor once said, I'm like God. Great, and he's as small as I am, he can't be above me, and I can't be below me, do you understand what that means?"

"God was so famous in Hypor's time?" Pomona said in amazement, she thought that the most popular religion at that time was Druids.

"The East does not believe in a Creator, and the West has always had a higher being than man, whether he is called God, Yahweh, Zeus, or whatever. The connection between the human self and God can be a voice heard, or something else Orientals use celestial phenomena to spy on "God's will". It is auspicious to have a rainbow or colorful clouds, which means "Heaven" is very happy. It is not a good phenomenon to hear voices in your head." Voldemort said, "In addition to listening to God's voice, People can also approach God through other means, such as painting and sculpture, which is also the spirit of the Renaissance.”

"Wow." Pomona sighed unconsciously. The Dark Lord is actually giving her a lecture?

"Hypor despises all gods, because he thinks he is a philosopher, a hero, a devil and a god, all in all, he thinks he is the opposite of God, where there is light, it needs the support of darkness, and a piece of white paper needs a shadow. Against the black paper, you two always say that Lucius is a peacock, so do you know that a bird like a peacock can predict the death of its owner, just like a rooster can predict the weather."

"What?" said Pomona in surprise.

"Have you ever wondered why roosters crow?"

"I really didn't think about it!"

"When the sun rises and the world regains the light of the stars, it will crow. When the sky is dark and the day is like night, the rooster will not crow. All this comes from 'nature', and the basilisk is afraid of the rooster's crowing. 'Innate', a chicken is insignificant in front of the basilisk, and what it fears is not the sun itself. All the light in nature comes from the stars, and the stars are made by the Lord. Human knowledge of light is produced from within. Yes, instead of putting it in the sun, in Hypor’s alchemy laboratory, God stopped here, after walking out of the alchemy laboratory, Hypor stopped here, and compared the sun with other stars to the earth The rooster crowing will make the basilisk so frightened that it will drop what it is doing and run around, slipping back to its cave, just like those priests at this moment, this island is controlled by the power of darkness, and it is no longer under the jurisdiction of Jehovah. Fear is just that the light of knowledge inside people will allow them to overcome fear, while animals such as basilisks will obey their instincts. The dark middle ages refers to the lack of spiritual light inside people. Now, it is still dark, but there is no church monopoly You know, Muggles have chosen to use science to bring convenience and enjoyment to themselves, they invented the refrigerator to freeze soda water, they didn’t think about using that power to do more meaningful things, why should I get along with them in peace?”

"You can't win, Tom!"

"I know there are as many Muggles as ants."

"Stop deifying yourself, Tom Riddle!"

The Dark Lord laughed.

After he finished laughing, he said in a slow and rhythmic voice, "I didn't want to become a god, but your mentor and Grindelwald believed in fairy tales, thinking that collecting all the Deathly Hallows would make you a god." Master of Death, in classical alchemy texts, 'God into body' is the basis of the mystery, those books are written in ancient Greek, you like Greek mythology, but don't like reading those obscure texts, Severer Si is younger than you, but he is improving faster than you. He can sink his mind to study those things, but since he returned to school, his progress has slowed down. Don't you understand why the current situation is created? "

Pomona was distraught, remembering Severus saying he didn't know Greek.

"You don't have to worry about this, he didn't lie to you, he read my translated materials." The Dark Lord explained kindly, "He also learned something from me."

"Don't you think he is your disciple?"

"He's very talented, compared to others." The Dark Lord said with a smile, "but he seems like a cunning thief. I know he has other plans in his heart. He didn't give me all his loyalty, and I Give him enough for him to give his life."

"You think you've lost out on this deal?" Pomona asked.

"Deal? He is my servant, why should I trade with him?"

Pomona tried to sort out the logic, and finally she remembered what the old bat said before.

Equality of power is the exchange of interests, and unequal power only exists in the relationship between plunder and being plundered.

"You and Severus are both talented. He works harder than you, and you are more receptive. Why do you want to play together?"

Pomona could not answer him.

"Stress makes people feel uncomfortable, but pressure can also stimulate people's potential. The reason why black magic is powerful is not only because of its attack power. A wizard is different from a magician. The power is generated by oneself. Alchemy is concerned with the body. And spiritual secrets, when you are pursuing this great mystery, why do you find it hard to bear a little punishment, pain and death? Do you have to be happy every day, but waste it meaninglessly?"

"Have you ever seen a wizard's hairy heart?"

"I've seen it."

"For most mortals, the road you walk is too far away. Two horses race. If they go hand in hand, they will scramble to be the first, run faster and faster, and then fall off the cliff together. If one horse runs faster Too fast, so fast that the other horse can't catch up no matter how hard it tries, and the horse behind won't run."

"It's disappointing that you're willing to be the laggard."

"I prefer to believe another statement. I don't want to become out of control like you. Tom, some things you do are inhuman! You are violent and painful. Not everyone is like you. To pursue The power is just insane!"

"Do you want to be punished?" Voldemort asked calmly, as if discussing the weather.

Pomona looked up and looked ahead, the light from the gaps in the leaves shone on the priests in white sacrificial robes, and they gradually moved away.

What would have happened if Merope knocked on the door of the church instead of the orphanage?

Who would say no to a pregnant woman who is drenched in the rain?

Unless the person who opened the door knew that she was pregnant with the future Demon King.
