Pros And Cons Of Seeing The Grim

Decent Essays
Harry stayed in the hospital wing for a few more days and was always visited, but his friends, his team, and others. Harry had told no one about seeing the Grim. I think he didn’t tell his friends because he was nervous about what they would say. On Monday, Harry returned to school and had Defense Against the Dark Arts Class with Professor Lupin. All the students were complaining about Snape and his teachings. After class was over, Lupin pulled Harry aside and talked to him about the dementor attack. Harry asked Lupin why they always affected him so. Lupin said it was because Harry had more grief than most. Lupin kept on talking about the dementors. He said dementors feed on human emotions and that is why they came to the Quidditch

    Nobody’s perfect. Perfection is a utopian quality that is far from realistic as it means “without fault or flawless.” Therefore, stating that nobody’s perfect is just another way of rewording the phrase everybody has their flaws. Afterall, there is a reason behind why pencils have built in erasers, white out was invented, and apologies can be said. Mistakes and faults are a natural part of human nature.…
