Chapter 2812 Red Hunger Fourteen
Chapter 2814 Red Hunger (16)
Probably in the early summer of every year, Albus Dumbledore, like previous headmasters, would go to the tower where the Pen of Acceptance and the Book of Admission are stored, use a copy spell to copy the list of freshmen of that year, and then give it to Mi
Leva, Minerva will issue admission notices based on this list.
The address written on the notice was very strange. Severus' notice was written under the old locust tree where he and Lily often went, while Pomona's notice was written on the beach where she often stayed. The sea breeze would destroy the hut.
The shells and wind chimes inside were blowing, but there was no other reference around.
Although the owls are responsible for delivering the letter, they can always find the wizard, but this address is not written by them.
The Ministry of Magic will set up traces to track whether the little wizards use magic illegally during the holidays. When someone violates the rules, a letter will be sent by the Ministry of Magic, and the address will also be written in emerald green potion.
When the little wizards accepted the invitation from the magic school, took the Hogwarts to Hogsmeade on Platform Nine and Three Quarters, and then took the boat to the school, the first thing they did was the sorting ceremony.
Minerva will read the names according to the list. The little wizards who hear the name do not need to shout "come". They sit directly on the chair and put on the sorting hat. This not only represents the sorting, but also represents "signing in". At this moment
From a young age, young wizards must abide by Hogwarts school rules and the International Statute of Secrecy.
They also don’t have to “check in”. If they are educated at home, there will be no brown silk tracking. They don’t have to worry about being warned to drop out of school if they use magic. How can they drop out of school if they haven’t even attended school?
Aesop, the founder of the American Academy of Magic at Ivermoni, was educated at home. Many dark wizards in history did not go to school to receive education. They were taught by their parents and relatives. There were many consequences for young wizards who did not come to school after receiving the letter.
There are many reasons. But despite growing up in that environment, Aesop did not "grow up" as her aunt hoped.
Staying in a place like a dungeon for a long time is not good for wound recovery, so on the second day of the holiday, Liz and the others took Vera out for a "walk." Thanks to drinking a lot of Bone Spirit, Vera's spinal deformation improved a lot.
It's just that the recovery process is a bit painful, and it can't even run like it did in Irondale.
Some things cannot be rushed, just like the biting cabbage in the Pomona greenhouse. Even if you can use the farmer's spell to make some of the biting cabbages grow quickly, if so many biting cabbages are using the growth spell, the "farmer" will be exhausted.
of.
The fat monk sometimes chatted with Pomona about the feudal era. At that time, farmers lived a very hard life. If the weather was normal and better, once there was a storm or drought that reduced food production, the lords would not reduce taxes because they felt that
The lords next door must have suffered heavy losses. As long as I take advantage of this opportunity to attack them, I can get twice the result with half the effort.
Other lords thought the same way. The more natural disasters there were, the more they would be attacked. The livestock that the Huns valued would also freeze to death in the extremely cold weather. At this time, they would plunder everywhere.
Scandinavia's natural scenery is colorful, but it lacks resources and conditions conducive to agricultural production. There are only vast uncultivated forests. Compared with Scotland, England is much richer. Viking pirates are in Scotland and nearby islands.
They established a base and "regularly" raided England until King Harold "Scud" I of England decided to clear them out.
In the era when the Fat Monk lived, there was a North Sea Empire, and England was once part of the Kingdom of Denmark. When King Swain of Denmark led a fleet into England, Britain was still in the era of the Seven Kingdoms. The Roman territory in Britain once extended to
In the northern part of the British Isles, the Roman Emperor Hadrian ordered the construction of a Great Wall, announcing a stop to expansion and trying to coexist peacefully with the Celts.
As the nobles of the British palace fought with each other and constantly changed their ways, Hadrian's Wall fell into ruins over time like many buildings in the Roman period due to lack of maintenance. The unusable parts were not wasted, and a large amount of stone was used to repair the castle and
Military road.
In addition to heavy taxes, farmers also had to bear corvées. If the year was bad and the lord happened to go to war, three-quarters of the harvest had to be given to the lord, and one-tenth of the harvest was given to the church as tithes.
You have to pay the rent to the landowner, and you have to pay other miscellaneous taxes on the rest. After removing the seeds for next year, there is basically nothing left.
Bishops, marquises, court presidents, and big businessmen ate exquisite fish and birds every day, while preachers from the pulpit persuaded "the lambs" to continue to endure pain in order to go to heaven.
If it hadn't been for the plague, these people would have lived like weeds. Everyone in the countryside had fled, and the cities were overcrowded. The dense population was a breeding ground for infectious diseases. When a plague broke out, it was really like the God of Death.
Swinging the sickle makes people fall down in pieces.
Once when the fat monk was giving his last words to someone, he said, "The nobles and kings have tortured me so much. Do they also want to go to heaven after they die?"
The fat monk didn't say anything at the time. The man seemed to have suddenly awakened to Legilimency. He smiled and said to the fat monk, "Then I'll go to hell. They won't go to hell."
Some people went to join the Vikings and became pirates. The Danes did not call tax, but Danegeld. This was the ransom given to them by the British in 911 to avoid Viking plunder, and later became
Land tax in medieval England.
The fat monk has never doubted his faith. He believes that the voice of the people has not been heard by the king.
Speak, judge impartially, and defend the rights of others." In order to achieve this goal, he used radical methods and used magic to treat people's diseases.
Of course, the Fat Monk's dream did not come true, and the short-lived North Sea Empire also fell apart. There used to be a Kingdom of Isaacs in the east of England, and a king eased the relationship with the pirates through a treaty and became a count of the North Sea Empire. His
The territory was later recovered by "Edward the Elder", who was the first of many Edwardian monarchs in English history. He became the co-lord of some tribes in Scotland and Britain because of his battle against the Danes.
Harold I was the youngest son of Emperor Canute of the North Sea Empire, but after his father's death, he rushed to be crowned when his brother was not in England. He seemed to think that having a common foreign enemy would unite people's hearts.
He did, but he died before his brother led his troops into England, and was succeeded by his son Harold II.
Harold II died of illness in 1042. In order to prevent the Duke of Normandy from escorting the British prince back to rule, Canute proposed to the Duke of Normandy's sister and promised that the children born in this marriage would inherit England. The Duke of Normandy accepted this offer.
Conditions. However, after Canute's death, the Danish royal family did not abide by the agreement with the Duke of Normandy, and Harold I succeeded to the throne. In the end, two factions were formed, with the Thames River as the boundary, with the north and London belonging to Harold I, and the rest to Harold I.
His elder brother was Harold II's uncle. Harold I invited Prince Edward's father, Prince Alfred, to a banquet in London, killed him, and seized his brother's country. His uncle was in England.
His rule was also unpopular, and he invited Edward, a descendant of the former King Isaacs, later known as the "Confessor", to return to rule.
When William the Conqueror set foot on British soil, the people spent a relatively peaceful time under the whip of foreign countries.
William I used the Domesday Book to reform the land ownership system and enfeoffed the land of the Anglo-Saxon nobles to the Norman nobles.
Although few people remember it, Richard Carter is a genealogist. According to the genealogy records, not only Malfoy's ancestors are Norman, but also one of Harry Potter's ancestors, the Peverell family.
Norman.
"Does it matter that Harry is a Norman?" Pomona asked the fat monk in confusion.
"No, it's precisely because it doesn't matter that it's important." The fat monk said, "Loyalty is a burden and it also brings strength, but our Hufflepuff's loyalty is not as firm as Gryffindor's.
It doesn’t move, but changes like water, which sometimes makes us look like traitors.”
“Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves, judge fairly, and defend the rights of others,” Pomona said.
"And a person with such talent and virtue is more precious than rubies." The fat monk said with emotion, "Don't forget this."
While the child was "walking the dog" with his pet, Pomona was thinking about other issues. The Lee family's huge wealth and collections would definitely be spied on. Barnaby was the only direct heir, and his uncle Seth
Seal is engaged in a high-risk profession like the Werewolf Capturing Team. If something goes wrong between the two of them, who will inherit the Li family's wealth?
But Cecil had to do this job again, and thanks to him as his guardian, Barnaby didn't suffer further damage from the rumor last year.
Rita Skeeter actually used an internship opportunity to let Emily work for her. Pomona recalled Rita Skeeter's appearance when she was studying. Her hair was obviously not blond.
Now Rita Kristen Pomona is unrecognizable. She is so exquisite that it makes people feel awkward, especially the jeweled glasses. In the past, she was also regarded as Myrtle because of it and her protruding teeth.
People laugh at you.
Pomona felt that it was necessary to talk to Liz. Let alone a teenage girl, Pomona herself could not guarantee that she would not be tempted in the face of so many temptations.
Cooper needs a job more than Barnaby, but what can he do?
Pomona shook his head, how could he be a Gryffindor?
