Harry Potter Morning Light

Chapter 2645 Wind and Flowers (24)
There were two options before Pomona.

One was a khaki gown, for plump Sprout.

The other one was just bought by her yesterday, wearing it seemed to be bathed in the brilliant starlight, shining like silver.

It wouldn't be unusual for Narcissa Malfoy to be in the public eye wearing the latter, but it was too conspicuous for Pomona.

'Today's protagonist is Severus. ' said the Angel Pomona in her ear.

'Maybe he'll be happy to see you in this. 'The demon Pomona put the new dress in front of her' Do you remember when he saw you come out in this? '

So Pomona couldn't help but fell into the memory, this dress was the first she tried on, and Severus was stunned when he saw her coming out of the dressing room.

'Just this one. ' said the demon Pomona firmly.

'How do you know everything went well today? ’ Angel Pomona said, ‘How would you explain your identity to other people if something happened to you? '

So Pomona put down the silver robe, drank the polyjuice potion, and then put on the khaki gown.

Just as she was arranging her clothes, there was a knock on the door.

"Please wait a moment." She said loudly, then turned around in the mirror, and after confirming that there was nothing wrong, she came to the door.

Outside the door stood Severus Snape, who had changed out of the black robes he used to wear for the long dark blue coat and dark green academic gown she had chosen for him, which fitted him perfectly .Broad shoulders, slender waist, no excess weight, not burly, but well-proportioned, Fernon Dursley, who was about his age, could no longer see his toes when he looked down.

"You look really good, Severus," Pomona praised.

It's a pity that Snape didn't want to wash his hair after wearing new clothes, it was still greasy and drooping.

"Here you are." He handed Pomona a bottle.

She took the bottle, and the tentacles felt warm, and through the dark brown glass, she could see a ball of red light inside.

"what is this?"

"Fire-breathing potion, I made it last night." He said calmly.

Honey Duke has Pepper Naughty Boy and Black Pepper Little Naughty Boy. Pepper Naughty Boy can make smoke come out of the mouth, and Black Pepper Naughty Boy can spray fire from the nose, and the effect of fire spray can spray high-temperature flames. Even if it's not as deadly as the dragon's flame, it's enough to incinerate a human tongue, and one of its ingredients is the seeds of the tinder bush.

"Why did you give me this?" Pomona asked.

"If those interns encounter eight-eyed spiders in the Forbidden Forest like Potter and Weasley, it can create a chance to escape in an emergency." He said blankly, "Do you still think that car will be compatible with rescuers?" Save them like Potter."

"Thank you." Pomona put the bottle of fire-breathing potion on the table by the door. "Let's go."

He looked back at the potions on the table.

"You're the most important thing today, 'Big Star,'" Pomona joked, stroking his back as she closed the door behind her.

================================================== ==============
Holly is an evergreen plant widely distributed in Europe, Asia, Africa, and America. They exist in various religious ceremonies, such as the Celtic tree calendar, and the Saturn sacrifices of the Romans.

On the day of the Saturnalia, people will parade with holly in their hands, because it is one of the few plants that are still green in the deep winter. At the same time, the identities of slaves and slave owners are no longer important, and they joke with each other, and even slaves pretend to be their masters , kings, tyrants, people use this almost disruptive method to recover from depression.

The Indians discovered the effect of wintergreen oil, which is extracted from the flowers, fruits and leaves of wintergreen. It is light yellow in color and has a fresh mint smell, which can be used to relieve muscle and joint discomfort.

Native Americans chewed holly to increase lung capacity, and it also has a calming effect. In some tribal ceremonies, shamans would ignite it as a spice for blessing warriors when they went out.

Tobacco products can be divided into combustible and non-combustible types. The most common type is combustible. Whether it is cut into filaments and rolled up or placed in a pipe, it needs to be lit to inhale the smoke.

There is another kind of hookah and snuff. In short, human beings began to smoke widely when Columbus discovered the New World. The locals used tobacco in religious ceremonies and were given as gifts to young men at the coming-of-age ceremony and girls on their wedding night. For initiation, reproduction and purification.

Napoleon's sanctions against the United States made the "neutral countries" make a lot of money, but the Dutch are experienced businessmen after all. When New York was still called New Amsterdam, they bought Manhattan with shell beads and used it for the third time. The Treaty of Westminster signed in the Anglo-Dutch War exchanged New York for Suriname and the Banda Islands.Both islands are rich in nutmeg, which, in addition to being used as a food spice to enhance the flavor of cooking, can also aid in childbirth due to its pain-relieving properties.

The four war conflicts between the Netherlands and England all started with the seizure of spice supremacy, but since William of Orange became King of England, the situation has changed.

Before the American Revolution, Magna Carta's "man's house is his castle" was a seductive fantasy, and British authorities did invade the privacy of homes and businesses, especially when royal estates were at stake.

The American Revolution once proposed "no taxation without representation". At that time, those who had the right to vote in Britain all owned real estate, and those who did not have real estate were still British citizens, but they did not have the right to vote.

The situation in the thirteen North American states is that they all have real estate, but they are not British residents, so none of them can vote.

It can be argued that the ties between the suffragette Britons and the colonies were not as strong as was necessary to tax the colonies and British citizens equally.

Before the 18s, search warrants in the United States gave law enforcement all discretion.In other words, what the searcher thinks is reasonable is basically a reasonable search and seizure.Sheriffs can issue warrants as long as officers and informants report violations or suspicions, without specifying a person or place that may have evidence of a crime.

A law passed in Massachusetts in 1754, the Excise Act of that year, stated that the sworn-in tax collector could question any person for the amount of rum, wine and other spirits drunk in private places in the past year, and charged by the gallon. Tax.A Boston schoolmaster denounced it as the deadliest injury to liberty, that tax collectors had the power to break chains, locks and bolts, and break into bedrooms and wine cellars, and that the excise tax violated the Magna Carta, "A man's home is his castle".

This kind of search warrant, which does not require a judge's signature and is signed by a magistrate, is a general search warrant, and general searches have penetrated Britain and the colonies.In addition to excise duties, universal search warrants are also used to collect import duties.The British Parliament stipulated the assistance order in 1662, which authorized the Treasury Court to issue a writ to the customs officials, allowing them to enter "any" residence, shop, cellar, warehouse, storehouse or other place with the assistance of the police. House doors, chests, wardrobes or other boxes can be broken open to seize "any" unpaid goods.

The king at that time was the "Merry King" Charles II. He launched the Anglo-Dutch War together with the French King Louis XIV. The results were mixed due to the unfavorable situation of the war.The law remained in force during his lifetime, and was not repealed by his successors after his death, so the assisting warrant became a permanent warrant for searches by customs officials.

In 1696, the British Parliament brought this decree to the colonies. Since there was no financial court in North America, this decree should have been impossible to implement. However, Massachusetts has incorporated the jurisdiction of the financial court into its own Supreme Court, so it has enforcement in the colonies. possible.

One of the origins is John Winthrop, the founder of the Massachusetts Bay Company. Before immigrating to the United States, he was the owner of a British manor. He was not a passenger on the Mayflower.

At that time, North America was not suitable for Europeans to survive. After 10 years of land reclamation, certain living conditions were available. Then John Winthrop led a large number of British immigrants to Massachusetts to establish a company.

A year before his departure, England was experiencing a woolen-related economic crisis, and at the same time he was granted a royal charter from the Governor of Massachusetts and the Company, one of the chartered colonial companies that were not part of the British government.

Massachusetts belongs to the British royal family, not the jurisdiction of the Parliament. In this charter, the Massachusetts Bay Company has the right to formulate, promulgate and establish any beneficial and reasonable laws, decrees, regulations and orders, instructions and regulations, except that it shall not Contradicting the native laws of England, and giving it full power to establish the manner and ceremonies of its government, and the manner of administration necessary and expedient for the administration of the colony and its native inhabitants; And identify and establish its responsibilities, powers and limits.By charter, the members of the company were "freemen," who convened four times a year the Great Common Court, which made laws for the company and the colony; once a year, the court elected a governor, a deputy governor, and eighteen The assistants are responsible for the day-to-day business of the following year; the Governor or Deputy Governor and at least six assistants must attend every meeting of the General Court.In other words, these seven government officials can exercise all the legislative and executive powers of the colony.At that time, the number of freedmen was very small, including only Winthrop and about a dozen or three other company members.So, if Winthrop and these people chose some form of government, they could enjoy unrestricted power in the colonies as long as the laws they passed did not contradict the laws of England.

That is to say, although the colony is the property of the king, the middle and upper management of the company have been able to understand and even run government functions. Winthrop was re-elected as governor for 12 terms.

Later, a rebellion broke out in Massachusetts, driving away the governor originally appointed by the British royal family.The new governor of Massachusetts, Sir William Phipps, a son of Massachusetts, was also governor at the time of the Salem incident.

Compared with trying witches, Phyllis is more concerned about rebuilding the government, from the magistrate to the judge, he needs people to fill.The power of general search means that sheriffs can enter the homes of "witches" at will to conduct searches and arrests.

The writ signed by the judge is a writ of habeas corpus, which was first used to allow the parties to appear in court, and later not only required the parties to appear in court, but also required the parties to explain the reasons for their arrest.If the parties' explanations are not satisfactory to the judge, the judges will release the prisoner, and if the reasons are sufficient, continue to detain the prisoner.

It's like a "witch" said to the judge "I'm not a witch" during a witch trial, and the judge asked her "You don't know what a witch is, so how do you know that you are not a witch?" The explanation of the "witch" could not satisfy the judge, so She was hanged.

Another example is that the judge refused to issue a writ of habeas corpus, just like the 1676 Jenks rebellion. Jenks hoped that the king would allow a public petition to hold the next round of parliamentary elections to form a new parliament. The "Merry King" ordered Jenks to be imprisoned. Without the justice's writ of habeas corpus, Jenks, who cannot go to court, can only "rot" in the hot prison, and the lower court cannot ignore the justice's signature for him, and it will not work until after the justice's vacation.

Since the British Parliament had forced the colonial corporations to also be divided into lower and lower houses, the U.S. House of Commons hesitated between 1764 and 1765 to discuss whether ordinary search warrants should be made illegal.There has been outrage over ordinary search warrants, assisting orders, excise and import duties. "No taxation without representation" was first proposed by Winthrop at the beginning of the establishment of Boston. All taxes were collected after discussion and consent of the people. The task of each local representative is to supervise the "Massachusetts Bay Company". There is no sufficient reason not to levy taxes. , the taxes already collected should be used rationally.

William Pitt said in a parliamentary speech in 1763 that "the poorest man may defy all the power of the king in his thatched hut, the hut may be weak, the roof may shake, the wind may enter, the rain may enter, the king cannot Enter".

It wasn't until 1766 that the U.S. House of Commons agreed that ordinary search warrants were illegal.By 1767, the first U.S. Congress convened, and 1696 legislation was proposed to extend the order of assistance to North America, but did not provide a financial court seal mechanism.The controversy was originally limited to Boston, and later spread to 13 states. The issuance of customs warrants could not prevent the mob from "liberating" the seized goods. So after the Declaration of Independence was promulgated in 1776, the Constitution was also completed that month, and general search warrants were issued by the Fifth Declaration of Powers. Article is made illegal.However, the adoption of the Constitution and the Declaration of Powers does not mean acceptance. Virginia and Pennsylvania were the first to accept it. Delaware later passed it in the same year after cutting some content. Massachusetts passed it in 1780, followed by New Hampshire. Well, just as they followed Massachusetts to pass the assisting order legally.The rest of the Southern states, including New York, have not banned ordinary search warrants.Five states continued to use it after the war, and they continued to use it against slaves, fugitives, and vagrants.Although Maryland banned general search warrants, they were actually used to enforce the excise tax and regulate bakers.

That is to say, both Britain and Spain want to trade in tobacco. The Spanish governor of Louisiana does not allow merchant ships without Spanish charters to pass through the Mississippi River. The Dutch did not want to meddle in the "trade" on the Mississippi River by "capturing" the slave ships that transported slaves at sea.

So Edgeworth is a good guy, he didn't let Georgiana know at all what happened outside, and let her struggle for so long about whether Napoleon was dedicated or not.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door, and Margaret came in with two glasses of beer.

Laggette looked at the bubbling beer on the table, and said after a while, "It is said that in Spain in the 16th century, poets liked to praise the beauty of women's curves, especially the waist. , put on a tights made of canvas, Henry II's queen Catherine de' Medici was the first user in France."

Margaret acted as if she hadn't heard, with an indifferent expression, she put the beer away and stepped aside.

"You want me to wear tights?" Georgiana asked with a smile.

"Later, the tights became more and more complex, using whalebone and bones. The Netherlands established a whaling company. The whales probably didn't expect that women with no power to restrain chickens would become their natural enemies." Laggett bent down to take it. The beer on the table, he almost touched, just missed.

Georgiana did him a little favor by letting him reach for his beer glass, and he took a few swigs.

"I sniffed smelling salts once," Georgiana said, smiling. "It's peppermint."

Raggett put down his glass with a smile.

"In order to put on tights, Catherine Medici needs to control her appetite. Tobacco in America is said to suppress her appetite. She likes to smoke while listening to people chatting, even if what the other party says is something she doesn't like to hear."

Georgiana looked at Raggett.

"You don't like what I'm about to say, are you going to hear it or not?" said Raggett.

"Why are you telling me so much?" Georgiana asked.

"Because I like you." Raggett smiled. "Of course, I love my wife. She, like you, understands what I just said."
