Chapter 620 "Retired"

  It’s a ten-minute walk from Soho, where Chinatown is located, to Charlie’s Cross, where Diagon Alley is located.

  The strange thing is that the distance is so close, the British wizards have never been to Chinatown, and the wizards and Muggles of Chinatown have never been to Diagon Alley.

  Because the international secrecy law, wizards and Muggles also live their own lives. The wizards seem to be a closed community and have no plans to contact Muggles. Wizards, Muggles, and Chinese, each live their own lives, and no one has an intersection.

  Until the appearance of the werewolf.

Remus Lupin changed Harry’s life, the Defense Against the Dark Arts class is no longer so boring, he can really learn something useful, and Remus is still the old knowledge of Harry’s parents, Remus let James Come alive with Lily, no longer the reflection in the mirror of Eris.

However, there was too much information that followed. His godfather indirectly killed his parents. The Pete Pediru who claimed to be dead was still alive. The drastic change in life felt like a loss of control, as if the whole world had become Crazy, and what’s worse is that this madness is not a joyful madness, but a terrifying madness. People need something worth celebrating to temporarily forget those things that are too "exciting".

  1994 happened to be the Quidditch World Cup and Triwizard Tournament. Both events were held very grandly, but in the end they were messed up by the Death Eaters.

  British people, whether wizards or Muggles, are generally not emotional, but they complain a lot. The men drank a pint of bitter beer in the bar, made jokes about the government, ridiculed how stupid the Prime Minister and the Minister of Magic were in governing, and another was to support a football game where the England team participated, so that they would be considered "patriotic".

  The 1994 Quidditch World Cup was for the Irish and Bulgarian teams. The Irish don’t like being treated as British, but who cares about the differences in that carnival atmosphere? Ron is also a fan of Victor Krum.

  Henry Potter's call for wizards to participate in World War I was to risk exposing the magical world, and his approach seemed very radical in the overall conservative wizarding world.

The vast majority of Chinese wizards do not marry. Whether they are wizards or witches, all students look for them from the "civilian", which is what the British wizarding community calls the Muggle species. It was much closer, and even so, they did not intervene on a large scale in the Muggle wars during the Manchu and Qing dynasties.

  For the Chinese people, the bottom line is drug prohibition. The reason why the Opium War took its name was "opium."

  In order to maximize the benefits, Palmerston legalized the opium trade in the Nanjing Treaty. After stepping on this bottom line, he not only harmed the Chinese people, but also has his credit for the soft drugs that are spreading in Europe and the United States. They are not strictly monitored like cocaine and other narcotic drugs. You only need to find a suitable "supplier" at the school gate. ", students with spare money can also buy it,

  The 70s was the age of rock and roll. Pomona didn't like rock very much when she was young, let alone getting old. The "Promotional Concert" on the last night of the London Summer Music Festival was simply "Hi".

  The police at the grass-roots level are actually very miserable, and so is the Auror. Many people have the idea of ​​retiring until they reach the age of 60. It's not that they don't want to show justice. They really don't have the strength.

  Politicians sitting in the office drinking steaming tea while writing bills, of course, don’t know how uncomfortable it is to stay up at night and keep the cold wind on the street.

  Umbridge’s Werewolf Act pushed the werewolves to the point where they had nowhere to go, and they began to rebel. The first to be unlucky was the Auror.

  The police officers who just entered cost more than 20,000 pounds a year, and hundreds of thousands of pounds must be at least a first-level superintendent. The schedule depends on the schedule. The office is relatively fixed, and the patrol must have night shifts.

In Plato’s ideal country, the country should be ruled by unmarried philosophers. Justice is the highest good. It is composed of three virtues: wisdom, courage, and temperance. It is precisely because of the existence of the virtues of justice that the country will emerge. The three virtues of wisdom, courage, and temperance.

  Christian theology is deeply influenced by Plato. Men and women are not married anymore. Without their own homes, they will theoretically serve everyone, and all of them are his brothers and sisters.

  The purpose of education is to train and train philosopher kings to realize the monopoly of philosophers on all the political power of the city-state.

  The rule of the philosophical king is the key to the realization of Plato's ideals of justice. Without the rule of the philosophical king, the realization of justice has become empty talk.

  Pomona can guarantee that whoever tells the policemen who are standing on the street, holding coffee and tea to keep warm, that Plato and Justice will be beaten.

They are a job as a police officer, and they have a low salary for a risky job. They are already full of complaints. A group of ragged but energetic policemen who are not afraid of sacrifice can beat well-equipped and brightly dressed gangsters who are greedy for life and fear of death. ?

  Thanks to the camera, patrols can reduce the number of patrols on the streets. If all the money is spent on “non-emergency police situation, non-police request for help, invalid alarm”, how much money can the police have left for handling cases?

  So some cases of petty theft and disappearance are ignored by the police.

  Sohao District has always had a good law and order. This area is very close to the Financial City and Mayfair. The law and order is much better than that of Whitechapel. Recently, it has started to mess up due to real estate development issues.

  If the police also take to the streets to protest like truck drivers because of salary issues, there will be no way to maintain social order.

  In most people’s impressions, manual workers such as bartenders, taxi drivers, and construction workers have relatively low incomes and do not have enough living security.

  And such as teachers, police officers, nurses, etc., no matter which country they are located in, they are all jobs with a decent income.

  But in London, they are no different from other low-income occupations generally understood.

  London, as the only super metropolis in the UK, has the advantages and attractiveness unmatched by all other cities.

  When young people with dreams, entrepreneurs, or people in emerging fields such as the financial industry rush to London, traditional police, teachers and other occupations, an indispensable occupation in a city, are losing their salary competitiveness.

  Manchester, Liverpool, even the lowest-income bartender can afford housing. But in London, it is increasingly difficult for professionals such as police, nurses, and teachers to buy houses in London. The phenomenon of poverty among these legitimate professionals has become so obvious that they have to line up to apply for guaranteed housing.

  If the government cuts expenditures in the face of a financial crisis, it will also be used at the grassroots level of civil servants.

All DA members participated in the Auror. Everyone retired one after another. Only a few people such as Harry still insisted. They basically have a good family background and don’t need a high-paying job. It is unrealistic for them not to care about the pay.

  The salary is too low. It is not uncommon for the police and Aurors to accept bribes in order to “subsidize the family”. Otherwise, the news that Harry left home on July 31 changed from “top secret” to the topic of discussion at the Death Eaters conference table.

  The posts of teachers and police are being laid off, the crime rate has soared, the ability of the police to protect the people has declined, and the people cannot feel safe.

  When Harry went to Diagon Alley for the first time, he took Hagrid to take the subway. It was no surprise to see such an eye-catching "giant" Muggle policeman.

  There are many performance artists in the city of London. Besides, Harry’s hands and feet are not tied up. This is not an emergency situation.

In the past, veterans would become police officers. Now many people have gone to security companies. "My home is my castle." In order to avoid looting and robbery, the money invested in security is a lot. The security guards have a gun license. Compared with the police, the bodyguard's salary is much higher, the equipment is much better, and the security of the house is much better than that of ordinary houses. Why does he give up such a generous life to become a poor policeman? For a sense of justice?

When diseases and natural disasters pushed people to a dead end, God did not appear to save them, so humans smashed the statues of gods, and people who no longer have moral constraints began to do whatever they wanted. A fluke mentality is at work, and perhaps God’s punishment will not come. On myself.

  Before this disaster hits them, many people were social Darwinists. The survival of the fittest and the survival of the fittest. If you think that being a teacher, a nurse, or a police officer is low salary, wouldn’t you do anything else?

  Only when I became a victim did I remember where the police and doctors and nurses were.

  What will happen to a lonely infectious patient who has been despised and abandoned by society?

  It was Remus Lupin’s father, Lyle, who annoyed Fenrir. Lyle said that werewolves were ruthless and evil and damned, so Fenrir turned Lyle’s most beloved child into a "damn" werewolf.

  This is called "self-eating."

  In troubled times, not everyone will become a victim of Remus, and some people will take the opportunity to reach the summit of power.

When the Peruvian Fangtooth caused dragon pox sores, people put it to extinction. It is not difficult for humans to destroy a species. It is difficult to identify it, because the werewolf was a human before being bitten. Take a bite and the person who used to be is no longer a "person".

  According to this idea, casting a defensive spell should be no problem, anyway, London Chinatown is not big, even if it is not like the defensive array of Hogwarts, it can be used to turn all the invading werewolves into ashes.
