Chapter 3034 queen’s spleasure (thirteen)

Albus was opposed by the Ministry of Magic this time, mainly because of his "preference" for Connery Fudge, who was reminiscent of Wilhelmina Tufte, who was also good at "making fun".

After three years of cleaning up the remaining forces of Grindelwald in the country, Minister of Magic Moon, who had a close relationship with Churchill, chose to retire. And because Albus Dumbledore defeated this dangerous dark wizard, it can be said that it was his decision. The future direction of the wizarding world - joy or continued vigilance.

Then Albus's choice was to support Taft. She made everyone happy for 11 years, so much so that they ignored the remaining dangerous elements. After she "stepped down", her son was a hardliner and expanded Azkaban. More guards are needed, so there is a Dementor breeding program, and the purpose of expanding Azkaban is to hold more prisoners. Dementors cannot be used for foreign trade exports.

He only lasted three years in power before he was replaced by the Minister of Magic, who was born as a Muggle. It is said that many people in Wizengamot resigned because of Dumbledore's support, and Dumbledore was already the Chief Wizard of Wizengamot at that time. .

The next two Ministers of Magic both resigned after failing to confront the mysterious man. The dementors used by Minchem to expand Azkaban were bred by Taft Jr.. Although he resigned, the experiment seems to have continued. Continue elsewhere.

Happy memories are needed to deal with dementors. The old fool seems to be very "prescient", but some people do not agree with his approach.

If the mysterious man really comes back as predicted by the centaurs, then it is best to stay vigilant, and there are many Death Eaters who have escaped trial, and Karkaroff has not confessed all of them.

Before the 16th century, for a town to become a municipality, in addition to obtaining the monarch's permission, it also needed a cathedral. From the 16th to the 19th century, no new dioceses were established, so there were no cathedrals, let alone new municipalities. Until Parliamentary reform allowed large settlements such as Birmingham, Leeds, Manchester and Liverpool to become municipalities, although they did not have cathedrals.

They are called large settlements because they are not ready to become a "city" in terms of infrastructure, customs, religion, etc.

Other municipalities have guild restrictions, including universities, but non-autonomous cities do not have guild restrictions. This also means that these new industrial cities do not need to abide by "business rules", do not need to abide by wage clauses, and do not need to abide by the "trade regulations" when choosing locations to build factories. There is no planning, but for the purpose of production, we find places with rich resources and convenient transportation. The living environment of workers is not within the scope of consideration by employers.

Workers can spend more money to pay rent and live more comfortably, or they can live in a relatively simple place like their employers did when they started a business, and wait until they save enough money to start a business.

However, compared with these, the first thing the new municipality had to face at that time was public security issues and the surging labor movement, which had become an urban phenomenon. Therefore, after the "Municipal Reform Act" was passed in 1835, the first thing to be "established" was the police organization, especially in Birmingham. There were only 30 policemen for more than 400,000 people, and there were more than 300 policemen in Liverpool and Manchester.

 In addition, there was the Criminal Detention Act of 1853. After the promulgation of this law, there was no longer a crime of exile, and prisoners would no longer be sent to overseas colonies. This led to overcrowding in prisons, and in order to alleviate the overcrowding in prisons, a "bail system" was adopted, and some criminals were released, exacerbating the insecurity of citizens.

 Let alone commoners, nobles at that time would hire young men to patrol their territories. The railway route planned by the parliament is only a rough idea. When it comes to the specific location, it needs to be surveyed. Generally speaking, the Great Plains is the easiest to build.

However, these places are often pastures and hunting grounds of nobles, and those responsible for surveying enter the nobles' territory without permission.

Private property is sacred and inviolable, no matter how subtle it is, it is illegal. Even if there is no loss, trespassers must face prosecution.

But this is a civilian. The nobles just picked up their shotguns and opened fire. Do you want to bet on whether his marksmanship is good or not?

 Theoretically, if you do not agree with the other party entering your territory, you must also give the other party a reasonable time to leave. Anyone who enters the territory during this period is not an intruder.

However, "leaving" also needs to be divided into "walking slowly and gracefully" and running while rolling and crawling. The nobles will not let the railway company employees responsible for surveying walk slowly. If they feel that the surveyors are slow, they will rush to them. He shot them in the back, urging them to run like hopping rabbits and leave his land quickly.

The people from the railway company went back to complain. They encountered such "unreasonable nobles" and the project could not proceed. Otherwise, they would have to take a detour, which would cause huge losses to the boss.

The boss took the road construction workers to find trouble for the nobles, while the nobles brought their own hired patrols, as if everyone was going to return to the Middle Ages in the next second.

　In the countryside, there is a place called the "Manor Court", which usually handles the trivial matters of farmers, and sometimes also handles labor disputes between nobles and servants. During witch hunts, this is the main trial venue in remote areas.

 Another one is the summary court in the parish. These are all difficulties encountered in reforming the police system.

 In the development of London, the royal family and the nobility had both mutually beneficial cooperation and conflicts. The king hoped that the nobles could stay in the countryside and maintain local rule. The nobles wanted to be close to the court and purchased real estate in London not only for living, but also for renting out, showing off and consolidating the family's status.

Later, with the development of other cities in Europe, the British king also wanted to plan the city. However, after the Glorious Revolution, the parliament controlled by the aristocrats could not support the urban construction plan allocated to the royal family. The royal family can curb nobles from building buildings in London by issuing building licenses. Of course, this does not completely solve the problem. The nobles will still build buildings and purchase building licenses. However, the king will fine illegal buildings or force them to be demolished, depending on the situation. to the tightness of the king's purse.

 History is not that school autonomy did not exist and required authorization from the king and the church.

There is no need for Hogwarts. Even if Pomona finds documents from the king and queen proving that Hogwarts has autonomy, the Ministry of Magic may not recognize it.

Albus acquiesced to the Ministry of Magic's entry into the school. Of course, Aurors could not enter the school grounds, but officials from the Ministry of Magic who were in charge of proctoring the OWLS and NEWT exams could enter and leave the school. He also asked teachers and students to "cooperate" in the investigation.

 Now Pomona hopes that Albus can use the authority of the chief mage of Wizengamot to drive away this witch who has just entered Wizengamot.

 But he looked at her with a smile. If the weather hadn't been too hot, Pomona would have wanted to put a Santa Claus hat on him.

"I think you have found the 'dangerous animal'." Albus smiled and said, "I think it only attacks deer, not people."

"That's not necessarily true... let alone animals, there is a 'dangerous person' here." Dolores said, squinting at Hagrid. "How do you explain what you just did? Sir."

 “I am the forest guard, and I am doing my duty.” Hagrid said.

"No, Hagrid, that animal does not belong to Hogwarts, and you have no right to protect it," said Dumbledore.

 Everyone looked at Dumbledore in surprise.

"It is not in our records and we do not know what it is," said Dumbledore.

“So you admit that what he just did was illegal?” Dolores said with a smile, her face lighting up.

"Hagrid doesn't know about this. He is just protecting the animal as if it were other animals in the Forbidden Forest." Dumbledore said and pointed to the sky. "Can you describe whether that owl is Hogwarts?" of?"

Dolores glanced at the owl that flew by, and then looked at Dumbledore, "How do you know that deer doesn't belong to you?"

"It's obvious, isn't it? It's huge," Dumbledore said with a smile. "And it's an arctic moose."

 “How did it come to school?” Dolores asked.

"I don't know, and so do they." Dumbledore said calmly. "After catching that animal, I think it's time for you to leave."

Dolores took a few deep breaths, as if she was looking for excuses in a hurry.

"Although this school is not private property, students have the right to study in peace, and you have destroyed their peace." Pomona said from the side, "Especially when the final exams and OLS and NEWT exams are approaching, their grades will be affected." Affected."

"What if we don't catch it?" Dolores ignored Pomona and looked at Dumbledore intently.

Dumbledore said nothing, but Dolores understood.

 “I’m going to see their progress.” Dolores said with a sweet smile, then bowed to Dumbledore, and then walked in the direction where everyone disappeared.

 “Go back, Hagrid,” Dumbledore said to Hagrid.

 “But Sparky…” Hagrid said anxiously.

"I think its owner is more anxious than you. Stay in your hut and don't do anything as reckless as just now." Dumbledore said impatiently.

Hagrid was not willing to give in, but after hesitating for a while, he took the crossbow and walked towards the hut.

Pomona watched his back leave, feeling relieved in her heart. Fortunately, Hagrid was holding a crossbow instead of his "umbrella".

 “And you too.”

 "Dumbledore" suddenly changed his voice and warned Pomona.

 “Why did you rush out just now?”

Pomona blinked and looked at the "old man" with white hair and beard in front of him.

 “Severus?” she asked.

“You’re going to get yourself into trouble.” The black wizard disguised as the white wizard said sternly. “Or do you think you’re smart enough to defend others?”

 “How did you…” Pomona asked in confusion.

"You go back too, don't cause trouble." He yelled before she could finish her words, and then left without looking back.

"I'm telling you what's weird about you, you're shining like a unicorn!" Pomona said to his back.

　　No one answered her, and she sighed as she thought she was unlucky. Originally, she wanted to see Spark, but in order to "leave less trouble", she turned and walked towards the castle.

 Hope Hagrid hasn't gone too far so she can have an extra "bodyguard".
