Chapter 541 Harlequin

  In 1896, a British female photographer named Isabella once went to Sichuan, China to photograph the local customs.

  The place is far away from the capital, Beijing, and soon has the reputation of being a country of abundance, but the living conditions of the people are not good.

  The first is the wide gap between the rich and the poor. The courtyards of wealthy families are exquisite and spacious. Even the wives and concubines are beautiful and stunning, and the poor will starve to death on the street without paying attention.

The second is backwardness. At that time, paddle steamers driven by steam engines were already sailing on the inland rivers in Europe, but the Yangtze River was still using manpower to draw fibers. The people engaged in this kind of profession were called "trackers", and they were good at singing. As a kind of intangible cultural heritage, it has been preserved. After all, people nowadays don't have to rely on manpower to pull fiber.

In fact, the paddle steam engine ship also uses manpower to add coal. In the movie Titanic, there are many workers adding coal to the world's most advanced giant steam turbine at the time, but they are at the lowest level. Passengers usually can't see it. Their labor intensity is also great, and they also have to tolerate high temperatures, which is no easier than trackers.

  The world that people can perceive and understand is limited. It is impossible to understand and control all things happening in the world at all times. Different people have different social circles, and the social circles have different cultures.

  Hermione wanted to liberate the house elves before she became a housewife, and now she only fights for the elves to not be abused and fired for no reason.

Housework is very tiring and cumbersome. Not to mention men, many women don’t like to do it, but the house will be messy if you don’t do housework. The Gryffindor lounge, which has always advocated equality, has been messy because of Hermione’s reasons. For a while, only Dobby was willing to clean up. Hermione’s actions disturbed the life of the house elves. This is the same as after the French Revolution, the French peasants who settled the land property rights no longer want to continue the revolution with the bourgeoisie. I am accustomed to farming life and do not want to industrialize. There is a big difference between French villages and big cities. It can be said that except for Paris, all are rural. Many urbanites go to the countryside for vacation, but the rural folks don’t yearn for life in the city. The plain rural life may make most young people feel boring, but they usually go home after a trip to Paris. The same is true. It is a European country. France has a slow pace and a laid-back life. You don’t have to be busy all day long like the Muggles in Britain, the United States, Japan and China.

  After returning to Hogwarts, Pomona felt how pressured she was with the Muggle neighbors, and she was almost out of breath living in that luxurious apartment.

At Hogwarts, she can take a picnic basket and go to the tallest tower with the Potions Professor, watching the scenery while eating. The Astronomy Tower was a good place to go, but there was a bad memory there. No wonder Xin Nista will resign.

  Albus Dumbledore’s grave can be seen from this place.

  There will be no skin color and racial discrimination in the wizarding world, but Muggle and Muggle wizards are discriminated against. This is mainly due to historical reasons. Most Muggles have forgotten the history of the Middle Ages, thinking that it is unfair to be discriminated against.

As for Severus’s prejudice against Muggles, it may be his experience at the Muggle school and his father. He likes to wear the wizard's cloak, but in the Muggle community he has to dress like Muggles, which makes him very different. Comfortable, now he has become himself again, without forcing himself to pretend.

  Harry once rode a eagle-headed horse-winged beast over the Black Lake in the third grade. It must feel very happy.

  Flying Death Eater does not even need to borrow magical animals, you can fly directly in the sky, and I don’t know which one is happier.

   "I like the wizarding world." Pomona said while eating a smoked fish sandwich, "Shall we not live in that apartment?"

   "Where do you want to live?" He easily agreed this time.

  Now she finally knows why Godric Valley is the best retreat in the UK. Unfortunately, too many stories have happened there. She wants to find a simpler place to live.

  The winter in Scotland is still cold. Severus covered her with a cloak. The body temperature of the two people was wrapped in the cloak. Even if the wind was freezing, they did not feel cold.

   "I like that northern farmer's house." She leaned on his shoulder and said while chewing food, "Sometimes we can go for a walk in the forest and there is a lake. I like to live in that place."

  She likes a leisurely, slow-paced life. It feels so good that she doesn’t want anything and her mind is empty.

   "If I didn't leave that day..."

   "There are not so many ifs. It has happened. Regret is useless." She interrupted him. "How are you going to approach Harry so that he can calm down and learn the law?"

   "I think he has bigger problems to solve." He sneered and said, "Calvin is not an obedient dog."

   "I know, he is going to bite Kingsley." Pomona shrugged. "He wants to become Minister of Magic from the director of the Auror office, just like Sterling."

   "It's not just that." He lowered his voice. "He wants to be the'king', and the Auror will be his soldier."

   "What?" Pomona asked incredulously.

   "The king seems to have a peculiar charm. Do you remember Lord Chatton, the prime minister of George III?"

  Lord Chatton is the first civilian prime minister in British history. He is a real civilian. He was born in a farm in Dumfriesshire, Scotland. In 1800, when he was only 16 years old, he was qualified to enter the University of Edinburgh Medical School to study anatomy, clinical and obstetrics courses.

  He used to be a surgeon and worked on a ship engaged in the opium trade in China in his early years. Later, he founded Jardine Matheson and became a powerful businessman and played a key role in promoting the Opium War.

People once hoped that this civilian-born guardian would show the same dominance in front of the king as he did to others, but on the contrary, when he saw the king, he bowed so deeply that people could see from between his legs. To his hook nose.

   "What do you mention him for?"

   "Calvin likes people with that attitude. I don't want to live under the rule of someone like him." Severus said lazily, "It's disgusting."

  "Why don't you ever try to please Dumbledore?" This is Pomona's most incomprehensible thing, and even Fei Liwei compromised.

   "I don't like it." He said arrogantly and indifferently.

  This is the biggest characteristic of Slytherin, arrogance, theoretically speaking, people who wear green clothes will be more comfortable with the status quo, introverted personality, and lack of adventurous spirit, but the ambitious Slytherin will not be content with the status quo.

  There is no arrogance or recklessness, no silly fools, no letting go, no cowardice and withdrawal. Slytherin allows tolerance but does not accept weakness, and allows setbacks but does not accept giving up.

  Patience is for revenge. Few things in this world can taste better than revenge.

  Popular people may hope that the civilian prime minister elected by themselves can really serve the people, but that is impossible.

  It is civilians who must learn to obey, and only nobles will learn to be brave and independent.

  Lord Chatton bent over to power? He will only show domineering and decisive to people who are weaker than himself.

   Bullying and fearing hardship are universal in the world, not unique to the Chinese, but there are especially many "shi" classes.

  Sometimes, the respect of the winning boss is to disobey him.

  At least Albus Dumbledore trusted Severus, but he didn't see that Albus looked down on Lockhart.

  Thanks to him, everyone had a lot of fun in the second grade. Otherwise, after a terrible year, no one knows what it will be like.
