Harry Potter Morning Light

Chapter 2049 "Watchtower" ([-])
When she was about to walk to the edge of the stage, Georgiana took out the golden snitch again.

It looks no different from Harry Potter's Golden Snitch who hides the Resurrection Ring. This item is used to replace the nearly extinct bird like Jin Snidget.

It is fast and sensitive, more than enough if it is just to avoid predators, but wizards like to chase them on a broom.

So what is the difference between the "fittest" and the "strongest"?

She clenched her fists, put the snitch away, and then looked up at the woman in the velvet cloak. She took off the hood on her head at this moment.

"Good day, Madame," said the woman in French.

"Who are you?" Georgiana looked at her and asked suspiciously. She thought it was Lufkin, the British Minister of Magic.

"You may call me Cassandra," the woman said.

She froze for a moment.

"You belong to that prophet family..."

"I have a question for you," Cassandra said. "In about 13 years, the world will experience a catastrophe, and people will face food shortages again. Will you use magic to help them?"

Georgiana's eyes widened.

"What kind of catastrophe?" She asked after a while.

Cassandra glanced up at the sky before looking at Georgiana.

"Have you heard of the ten disasters in Egypt? Suddenly one day, the sky in Egypt became pitch black, and people could not see things as if they were blind, so they could only light lamps to illuminate them. The disasters they endured at that time would be much longer."

Georgiana immediately thought of volcanic eruptions. She remembered that there was a Chinese wizard who used to study volcanic activity. Icelandic volcanoes erupted before the French Revolution.

But the volcanic ash at that time did not make the sky dark. The last time it reached this standard was during the Justinian plague. The sun had no temperature in the volcanic ash and could only bring a little light.

"I've heard of it." She said calmly, "Are you going to announce the doomsday prophecy again?"

"I thought you would care about another condition," Cassandra said. "You still have 13 years."

She sneered, "Sounds like a countdown."

"A lot of people have asked me how long they will live, do you think I should tell them?" Cassandra asked.

Georgiana did not answer.

"If I'm wrong, they won't believe me, and if I'm right, they'll be counting the days, and it's really hard," Cassandra said. "It's like I just told you Yes, 13 years."

"What do you want to say?" Georgiana asked patiently.

"Are you sure you want to continue the beer business? It will be brewed with grain." Cassandra said, "I remember you had proposed to set up a safety reserve grain before."

"It costs money," Georgiana said, "and we still have 13 years to go."

"It may not take as long as you think, and there will be a famine next year."

"Nonsense." Georgiana immediately reprimanded, "How could there be a famine for three consecutive years."

"I didn't say it was France, it could be another country." Cassandra said, "Have you ever heard of Erasmus Darwin?"

"Have heard a little," said Georgiana.

"He was proposing to systematize farming and horticulture, which means you shouldn't confuse farming and horticulture," Cassandra said.

Georgiana felt slightly offended, but not too offended.

Because Cassandra was telling the truth.

Her vegetable garden only provides the vegetables Hogwarts needs, and the grain and potatoes are bought from outside.

"He believed that grain should be used to make bread, not wine, and alcoholism was a major cause of the riots," Cassandra said. "I think you know what I'm talking about."

Georgiana did not answer.

"Plants, insects, animals, humans and human knowledge are all interconnected, part of a rolling and progressive nature. A South American butterfly flapping its wings will cause a storm. Face the fragility and strength." After finishing speaking, Cassandra put the hood back on, and seemed to be planning to leave.

"I met someone." Georgiana asked before Cassandra left, "Can you tell me if my fate and hers have an unusual intersection?"

Cassandra did not answer Georgiana immediately.

"Or do I need to pay for your fortune-telling?" Georgiana asked.

"Personal sorrow and despair are useless in that dark winter, and God will not hear." Cassandra said pitifully, "Have you ever thought about how much more those soldiers would have spent if they hadn't participated in the war?" food?"

Georgiana was shocked.

"When people are hungry, they will eat dog food. If you really think that what you bring is kindness and peace, then think carefully about how to fill these people's stomachs, and whether it is necessary to make wine." Kashan Della said flatly.

"You won't say something nice?" Georgiana said impatiently.

"what?"

"I've seen a similar prophet. He only said part of the prophecy, which is beneficial to him." Georgiana said, "Do you know how much people need hope and happiness nowadays?"

"Have fun in time now, and starve to death in regret later?"

"If people don't love that school, they won't give their lives to protect it, the momentary pain is just a moment, you tell someone the time of death 30 years in advance, and he's counting the days for the next 30 years, that's Uncomfortable."

"It's 13 years," Cassandra corrected.

"Well, the world will end 13 years later, there will always be a place to escape the catastrophe, otherwise I would not exist." Georgiana waved her hands and said with some excitement, "Humanity will survive."

Cassandra looked at her without answering.

"Just say it, don't hesitate," Georgiana complained.

"You know Napoleon is dead, right?" Cassandra said. "What do you think the world is?"

Georgiana did not answer.

"This world has many similarities with the world you are in, but it is different. Its lifespan is not as long as you think. After that catastrophe, most of the 'spirits' will be readjusted, and only Earl is left. The island of Ba, where Napoleon is, is 'normal' and you can interpret it as Noah's Ark." Cassandra said, "You will be the last survivors."

"This is ridiculous." Georgiana walked back and forth anxiously, with her hips on her hips.

"Imagine, who is the priority to survive when the end of the world comes? Those who are young and have scientific talents and smart minds, right? Because they have enough power to rebuild the world."

"I believe that Louis XVIII can do..."

"You don't want to help them, do you?" Cassandra said suddenly.

"The prophet I know, he wants to lead the wizards to prevent Muggles from destroying the world. Everyone has a predetermined destiny. I don't know how to use magic..."

"You want to play, you want to have fun," Cassandra said. "You don't want to carry those burdens."

"I'm just not that overwhelmed." Georgiana sneered. "Saving the world is something like a superhero."

"You obey the International Statute of Secrecy really because you're a man of order?" Cassandra said.

"I don't understand you."

"You're a negative person, even if you put on a positive face," Cassandra said. "Your happiness is fake."

Georgiana scowled.

"Do you know how to make yourself really happy? Pomona." After asking, Cassandra turned and left.

"Wait!" Georgiana chased after her, but Cassandra disappeared behind the stage.

Then she noticed a gilt pocket watch hanging from a log.

She took off the pocket watch. She didn't know if it was broken or it was intentional. The watch was running backwards, which looked like a countdown, making a slight "tick-tick-tick" sound.

　In 1816, about 20 people died in one plate of Europe, and about 200 million people died in the Napoleonic Wars.

If there were no Napoleonic Wars, then these 200 million people would have to share the limited food evenly if they survived, plus the part consumed by wine making...

When the Black Death came, a large number of people died so that people in the Little Ice Age could share less rations, and because of the decrease in population, wages rose.

Sometimes the results of good intentions are not necessarily good.

When the "doomsday" comes, some people choose not to care so much and enjoy themselves in time
In addition to the theory of evolution, there is also the theory of catastrophe. The eliminated dinosaurs have been preserved as fossils, and the creator has created new species to bring the earth back to life.

So, what's the first thing to do when the end comes?Go to the bank to withdraw money?
