Harry Potter Morning Light

After the end of the First World War, although Britain and France were allied forces, the relationship between the British Ministry of Magic and France turned bad.

At that time, the British Ministry of Magic sent Aurors all over the world to try to capture Grindelwald, as if questioning the capabilities of other countries.

It was Henry Potter who called wizards to join the Great War, and it was the British who planned to capture Grindelwald, the madman who planned to rule the world.

French wizards are different from Muggles. The response to the British Ministry of Magic is that all wizards sent without the consent of the French will be expelled from the country.

The incident caused by Newt Scamander in New York made it difficult for him to enter the white list. For this reason, he had to smuggle into France. It was precisely because of his smuggling behavior that he was wanted by the French Ministry of Magic.

Now there is no magic spell on the border between the UK and France, and it feels like there are wizards entering the country illegally. After all, the UK is now a member of the European Union.

There is an underground wine cellar in the manor, and there is a sculpture at the entrance, which probably depicts a young nobleman standing with a scepter, and the obsidian on the top of the scepter is the port key.

Using the portkey, Pomona and Severus returned to their apartment in South Kensington.

With this thing, Pomona would no longer have to live in the mansion that Lucius used to arrange his mistresses.

It just so happens that today is Father's Day, and she wants to give a good gift to that good dad.

The British Muggles are following the old path of the French. Except for London, other cities are becoming more and more depressed. Just like France, except for Paris, everything is in the countryside.

Although Marseille and Lyon are also big cities, they are indeed much worse than Paris, the capital of flowers.

This seems to be a good thing, bureaucrats can see the bustling metropolis, full of people.

But it was precisely because a large number of proletarians gathered around the capital that so many civilians suddenly became revolutionary parties when the Great Revolution broke out.

Although those sans-culottes men are jealous of the luxurious life of the nobles, they dare not take action because they are afraid of the law and the majesty of the king.

After the Bastille was captured in the chaos, they became bolder and dared to do things that they usually wanted to do but dared not do. Coupled with the defection of part of the army, the speed of the fall of the French king was even more devastating.

Once repressed emotions erupt, there is no way to stop them, and no one would question the nature of the French Revolution even today.

It was written in the Theory of the Monarch that to control a place, don't manage the poor, but win over those who hold the land, wealth and power in their hands. Those poor people have nothing, no money to buy armor and arrows, and it is impossible for them to defeat heavily armed soldiers with a rake.

Although the knight class in Europe does not have the privilege to execute civilians at will, it has always been a symbol of glory in villages and castles.

An aristocrat with military power can ignore the church and directly tear down the church bell, and the monastery becomes his residence and headquarters, and the rules about not entering the church with weapons can be completely ignored.

However, if he wants to legally wear the crown, he needs the approval of the Holy See. Pepin's father, Charlie the Hammer, used to be the palace minister of the Merovingian royal family. Later, his grandson used the divine right of kings to steal the crown. With blood inheritance and the horizontal gap from subject to monarch, legal became the king of France.

This is similar to the Chinese abdication system. The previous dynasty was overthrown by the later royal family because of its lack of morality. The reason why the judicial duel system, which seems to be based on the core logic of the law of the jungle, was implemented is because people believe that God will not let innocent people lose. Out of duel.

When the ability of human beings to discover the truth is extremely limited, most disputes need to be resolved through experience; and when experience is not enough to distinguish the true from the false, people can only pin their hopes on the gods. Obtaining oracles through various religious methods to distinguish right from wrong is divine judgment.

As God directs the wars of nations, so also in private disputes is guaranteed the victory in duels of the man who speaks the truth.

It is undoubtedly stupid to measure right and wrong by strength, but in the special background of the times, judicial duels have incomparable advantages. There is also no need to fear that the guilty party will get away with it simply because they hired an experienced lawyer.

People who have done bad things will always have a guilty conscience, and they will lose 10% of their momentum when facing people who have no fear in their hearts. Dueling is the ordained law that best avoids perjury and corruption. A duel is a contest of life and death. In the face of honor and life, all the delicate rules will disappear invisible.

If you are not proficient in martial arts, or if you are too proud of your own strength, you will lose your life.

In Europe in the 15th century, it can be said that all people can duel, and even women can duel with men, as long as they are not afraid of losing.

Pomona wondered if she could practice with the lame Lucius Malfoy.

He was untrained, better at playing with money and politics than with a wand, and looked more and more like a Muggle.

But she gave up this idea after thinking about it for a while. She was giving a gift, not an embarrassment. If he couldn't even win a woman, then he might slander her behind her back.

France almost conquered the whole of Europe through force, while Austria obtained the inheritance rights of several major European countries through blood. The Spanish throne war broke out precisely because the heirs of the Habsburg family were extinct.

When a loved one dies, not everyone is as sad as Albus Dumbledore.

I'm going back to Hogwarts, she told Severus before entering the apartment.

What are you doing there? he asked, staring at her.

I don't know, I think I forgot something very important. She murmured.

There's an exam over there, Minerva will be very busy, so she probably won't have time to talk to you.

I know. She said confusedly, Time flies so fast, investigators from the International Federation of Wizards should have come.

What are you thinking? Severus stared at her.

It's just a feeling. She scratched her head and said, I have to go back to school.

I'll come with you. He left the apartment.

Your job.

You have to trust Lucius.

Pomona looked at him suspiciously.

What he lacks is a little luck. Severus defended Lucius.

Do you know that Lucius has a woman outside? Pomona looked at the platinum noble friend, You never thought that Lucius didn't reply to Draco's letter on Father's Day because he was with his mistress ?”

No! he flatly denied.

Pomona narrowed her eyes.

He answered too quickly, obviously guilty.

He won't, Severus explained in vain.

It was luck that you guessed he went to the Ministry of Magic that day. She pretended to believe him otherwise the Dark Lord would have got the Prophecy Orb and Harry.

Are you going back to Hogwarts or not? He began to change the subject.

Today is Sunday... Is there a test today?

You only know when you go.

He dragged her to the elevator, which was the only way out of the top floor due to the anti-apparition spell cast in the apartment.

This made her want to go to the headmaster's office at Hogwarts, the only way to get to the top of the headmaster's office tower is through the gargoyle.

As the elevator began to descend slowly, she saw an old wizard standing beside the sculpture in the doorway.

It's a pity that the elevator sank to the next floor the next moment, and she couldn't tell if it was her hallucination.

It's strange, why do I keep seeing Dumbledore today? She tilted her head, confused.

Because you're crazy, Severus said bitterly.

Pomona punched him hard.

It's solid, it seems that she is only a little bit away from really going crazy.
