Harry Potter Morning Light

Chapter 940 "Lie down"

After the sky darkened, those giant cruise ships were cruising in the sea and did not enter the Venice Canal.

The first is that Venice after nightfall is not as colorful as it is during the day, and the second may be because of the fear of poor vision, bumping into those ancient buildings.

Although with modern technology, those cruise ships will not sink like the Titanic, but those old buildings can't stand this kind of impact.

Looking at the masked people on the street, Pomona couldn't help but think of the Venetians she met at the Doge's Palace that day. Many of these people wanted independence from Italy.

Rome’s bureaucrats only think about the employment and tax revenue created by tourism, and they don’t care about the life and death of Venice. As for the Moses plan to stop the flood, it doesn’t make any sense at all. 45 billion euros is not a small amount. According to the “democratic” regime, the Suez Canal and Panama are being built Corruption problems often occur in the process of large-scale facilities such as canals. The money used to "save lives" does not know how many moths will be raised.

Anyway, Venice can't be stopped, and it will inevitably sink to the bottom of the sea. The money is not as good as buying real estate in other places.

This kind of weird logic is also a kind of logic. The modern education system is "survival of the fittest". Teachers and parents pay more attention to test scores, and do not tell the "losers" how to face difficulties and failures.

Lucius is this kind of parent. He always said that Draco couldn't even pass a Muggle girl. Draco was so sad when he was in the sixth grade. The pressure to bear.

If Hermione Granger hadn't entered Hogwarts, maybe she would have become one of the top students in the Muggle school who is good at exams, and she will walk on the same life trajectory as everyone else in a bright future, dressed in beautiful clothes. Dresses and high heels, socializing in "high society" is definitely not the same as in the wizarding world, with the boys, adventuring in wizard robes and boots.

Feminine admirers are men who are easily attracted to women.They don't have to be bothered, but they often have a feeling that they are much happier when they are with women than with men.This has nothing to do with vanity, it is purely for spiritual satisfaction.

But not all women are admirable and enjoyable.Hermione seemed very domineering at the beginning, and many people couldn't stand her. Later, she changed her attitude of being a top student, and she became good friends with Ron and Harry.

As a witch, she doesn't believe in divination.

Divination by numbers is different from divination by Tarot cards. Every time Sybil uses the "eye of the sky" to do divination, she doesn't know what she said, and her voice changes, as if something is controlling her.

Renaissance architecture embodies the relationship between the microcosm of the human body, the world, and the macrocosm of the universe. The "golden ratio" discovered by Vitruvius was used in the design of temples. The architectural layout he stipulated is like a person lying on the ground. floor plan.

Draw a circle with the navel of a person, and the fingers and toes of a person just touch the circle. The cross may be a torture tool, but it is used to fix the human body, so it has the same proportions as the human body.

The comparability of the proportions of the human body and the macroscopic world created the core of Leonardo da Vinci's world view and was also a symbol of humanism in the Renaissance. Pay attention to the visual impact brought by the color.

The dissection theater is also different from the anatomy of Florence, which requires tickets.

The "divinity" of Florence can be felt in the church, while the "secularity" of Venice is the sensory experience brought about by the stimulation of the picture.But that is different from the elemental pictures that commercial movies are full of for commercial needs.

Bechymos is a very huge beast. It is like the human subconscious. It is huge, cumbersome and unknown. It usually crawls and the river is flooded. It does not fight. Even if the water of the Jordan River rises to its mouth, it is safe. .

At the same time, it has rough skin and thick flesh, so it doesn't feel anything at all when it is pricked with an ordinary weapon, and it will go crazy if it hurts. It is not so easy to make it obey orders and run according to its own orders.

In the 80s, Japanese people overdrawn their desire for consumption. At that time, Japanese tour groups could be seen everywhere in Europe.

Now there is no trace of them. On the one hand, they have no money. On the other hand, it is estimated that they have "really realized" after experiencing a cliff-like decline. There are more important things in life than "consumption", and there is also anxiety about the future.

Now that I have spent all my money, what will I do if I get sick or retire in the future?
The "big-hearted" Americans have no such considerations at all. The degree of materialism in the United States is even stronger than that of Japan. They have no money to borrow money for consumption. If they rush forward without thinking, sooner or later the ship they are sitting on will be hit by an iceberg.

Seattle was originally the name of an Indian chief, whose original name was "Sears", but it was misrepresented as "Seattle".

The white people took a fancy to the land of the Indian tribe and wanted to buy it, forcing them to accept the deal.In order to save the lives of his tribe, Seattle had to agree, but he wrote a letter to the whites who wanted to buy the Indian territories in the Northwest of the United States:

Every part of this land is sacred to our nation.

Every sandy beach, every cultivated field, every mountain range, every river, every glistening pine needle, every buzzing insect, and the mist in the thick jungle, the white clouds in the blue sky, The memories and experiences of our nation are all holy.

We are part of the earth, and the earth is a part of us.Green grass, green leaves, and flowers are our sisters, and elk, horses, and eagles are our brothers.The sap flows through the tree trunk like blood flows through our veins.We belong to the same homeland as the mountains, rivers, animals and plants on the earth.

What glistens in streams and rivers is not only water, but also the blood of our ancestors.Every reflection in the clear lake water reflects our experiences and memories; the sound of gurgling water echoes the cordial calls of our ancestors.The river water quenches our thirst, nourishes our hearts, and nourishes our children and grandchildren.The river carries the canoe, the canoe travels on the never-ending river, and the canoe is full of our hopes.

If we give up this land and transfer it to you, you must remember: this land is sacred.The river water is our brother, and your brother too.You should treat our river as kindly to your brothers.Indians love the smell of the breeze after the rain, the sound of it blowing across the water, and the scent of pine resin wafting in the wind.

Air is also precious to us because all life needs it.If we give up this land and transfer it to you, you must remember: this land is sacred.The air and the life it nourishes are one. The breeze gave our ancestors their first breath and their last sigh.Take care of it so that you too can taste the sweetness of the wind as it passes over the meadows.

If we give up this land and transfer it to you, you must remember: this land is sacred.You must take good care of the animals in this land.What would humans be like without animals?If all animals die, human beings will die too.The fate that befalls animals will eventually befall humans.Tell your children that the land under their feet is the ashes of their ancestors, and the land holds the lives of our loved ones.

Tell your children, as we have taught our own, that the earth is our mother.Whatever happens to the earth, will eventually happen to the children of the earth.

We love the earth, just like a newborn baby loves the warm embrace of its mother.You have to love it as much as we do, and take care of it.For the sake of future generations, you must give all your strength and emotion to protect the earth.

We know very well that the earth does not belong to human beings, but human beings belong to the earth.

Americans like to gamble. There are not enough casinos in Las Vegas and Atlantic City, and Indian tribes need to open casinos. Perhaps it is precisely because of gambling that they like to bet that small probability events will not happen.

Rather than worrying about "the day after tomorrow", "tomorrow" is more worth worrying about. Pomona estimates that once the Yellowstone volcano erupts, some people will plan to "lie down" and have no heart to struggle. It is common, otherwise so many people would commit suicide whenever natural disasters and man-made disasters come.

Neville Longbottom belonged to the kind of "student" who was "eliminated". He was far inferior to Harry in terms of magic power. No wonder he was not "chosen" by Albus even though he was also a child born at the end of July.

As for why he wasn't "chosen" by Voldemort...

She looked back at Severus Snape who was sleeping soundly in the tent. He had nothing to do with the Longbottoms, but was an "old acquaintance" with Lily Potter.

"I want to see who he's loyal to," she heard Voldemort's voice behind her head. "How would he react if I killed the woman he loved the most."

"You're a demon, Tom."

Tom Riddle let out a small smile, and then said leisurely, "They called me the Dark Lord. I used to think that only I could live forever."

"Do you still want to live forever?"

Nobody pays attention to her.

Just when she thought she would never have an answer, Voldemort asked again, "What is a woman loyal to?"

"Love." She replied without hesitation.

"You are a fool," said Voldemort.

"Yes, you were defeated by a bunch of fools." Pomona sarcastically "remember what Albus said about you?"

No one cares about her now.

So she hopped over to Severus' side, terribly waking him up.

Before he opened his eyes, he frowned first, as if he had experienced a lot of pain, he slowly raised his eyelids.

Those black eyes are like a bottomless "blue hole", without a trace of light, and at the same time like two tunnels connecting the Hogwarts castle.

"How about we bury Albus and Grindelwald together?" she said whimsically.

"They're all rotten to the bone," Severus replied impatiently.

"Why didn't you tell me he and Grindelwald were a couple!" She started punching him.

"It was your own initiative to bury him in the school." He carefully avoided her nails to avoid being caught. "Now you know what the result of self-righteousness is?"

As if under a petrification spell, she stopped all of a sudden.

That's right, if she didn't mind her own business, and Albus was buried off-campus like the rest of the Headmasters, they could have secretly transferred Grindelwald's remains to Albus's cemetery.

"Is this your punishment?" she said pitifully.

"You don't think he should be punished for what he did to me?" Severus said calmly. "He got what he deserved."

"What about me? I get what I deserve too?"

Severus pursed his lips and said nothing.

"You forgive me?"

"I don't know," Severus said. "Do you think you deserve forgiveness?"

"I do not know."

"Then don't think about it." He hugged her and let her sleep next to him again. "Tomorrow we will tidy up those furniture. I am tired today."

She obediently lay down, listening to his even breathing, but did not close her eyes to sleep.

She looked at the tent above her head, as if looking at the ceiling through it. Although she would not paint Genesis like the Sistine ceiling, it would be better to paint something on the ceiling. After all, this is Venice, so even if you want to sink When entering the bottom of the sea, the queen of the Adriatic Sea should also be dressed up like a sea burial.

　Did Michelangelo exchange ideas about architecture with Leonardo da Vinci?He designed St. Peter's Basilica after all.

The other bronze canopy was built after melting the statues of the Pantheon, which is a virtue of what a certain Muslim civilization did

The realm of harmony between man and nature has long been studied in the East
