Harry Potter Morning Light
Chapter 1042
The skirt on Pomona is very Slytherin style. The upper body is dark green velvet, and the lower body is a light gray green A-line drape dress. The waist is dotted with some gorse, which looks elegant and dreamy , it can be used as a dress, and it won't look weird for everyday wear.
Pomona believed that the dress had not been chosen by Severus, that his taste was just that, and that the dress had probably been chosen by Voldemort himself.
The Dark Lord's taste is unquestionable. Although he was born in an orphanage and did not grow up in a wealthy family, when he was winning all the time, that handsome devil could attract everyone's attention as soon as he appeared on the stage.
He suits a flamboyant style, though he is usually dressed in a simple black robe.
The ballroom built by Severus is very resplendent and resembling the Palace of Versailles, but it only has a shell and a few crystal chandeliers installed. There are no decorative sculptures and murals, and the floor is not covered with marble. It still looks too shabby for a big ball.
The Gaunt family liked to put on a show, and they squandered their money for several generations. At that time, Europe was influenced by French culture, and Rococo style was everywhere, and countless balls were held in palaces and manors.
This trend not only affected Muggle elites, but even wizards were affected. However, maintaining such a luxurious life required a lot of income. The Muggle royal family and nobles relied on taxes, while the Gaunt family relied on the property left by their ancestors. After these family properties were squandered, the Gaunt family began to decline, and Voldemort's generation didn't even have a decent house.
The direct consequence of the baroque style of life started by King Louis XIV of France is that the whole society has formed a kind of ideology that dislikes the poor and loves the rich. As long as the peasants have a little money, they will let their children go to school or buy him a The official position is far away from the life of farming.
And those who have read the book will try their best to isolate themselves from the farmers. People have a strange aversion to farming to get rich. All capable people crowded into the big cities, leaving only the small nobles who were well-off and unable to escape in the countryside. They often live frugally and save money in normal times, and go to the city to have fun with people of their own class in winter. They lack sympathy for their tenant farmers, and they will not reduce their rent due to natural disasters, because their luxurious life has left them in high debt.
The commoners nicknamed these little nobles "le hobereau" (le hobereau). This smallest bird of prey lives by preying on small birds and large insects, which means that these little nobles will not let go of any meat. .
Louis XIV could have incorporated Prince Eugen and made him a general of France, but because of his prejudice against Prince Eugen's short stature, Prince Eugen became the commander-in-chief of Germany, which eventually led to the loss of France in the Spanish succession war. Dominion over northern Italy.
There is an old proverb, a nail is missing, a horseshoe is missing, a horse is broken, a war is lost, and a country is lost. When the tax revenue cannot be collected, the king will buy and sell officials to increase income.
Even if Louis XIV allowed Prince Eugen to stay and serve in a court full of buying officials instead of obtaining official positions through his own real skills, Prince Eugen would probably be hidden like Napoleon.
Freezing three feet does not happen overnight. Europeans will find scapegoats every time they encounter a crisis. When the weather is good, the farmers on the manor will not only plant the land, but also raise livestock and bees.
Severe weather will not only reduce food production, but also cause a large number of livestock deaths. Wet weather increases the possibility of bee infection. Repeated plagues make devout Christians wonder why they are being punished by God.
Lepers were blamed, the Jews who killed Jesus were blamed, and witches were added to the suspicions and prejudices.
The same is true of Louis XVI and Queen Mary who were pushed to the guillotine by the angry people. They were prominent scapegoats and took the blame for the corruption and degeneration of the entire aristocratic class.
If the army is disconnected from the upper ruling class, then the army is a very terrifying thing for the country.
During the French Revolution, some soldiers also participated. Those officials who relied on women's crony and money to open the way blocked the way for the soldiers to rise.
The British are very smart enough to realize this. Almost all the upper-level officers in the army are nobles and rich people. This is a very simple truth-if you want to protect your vested interests, you have to work hard to maintain the status quo. Blood must be shed to maintain one's privileges.
It's a pity that many aristocratic classes in the world don't realize this, so in the end they all disappear.
Pomona didn't know if the bureaucrats of the Ministry of Magic would realize this. She only knew that the Werewolf Act not only cut off the way for werewolves to reach the upper class of society, but also lost the basic guarantee of survival. These werewolves were like The peasants who had nothing, and there was no place like a factory to house them, coupled with the instigation of those with a heart, so the rebellion began.
Goblin riots are known as cruel and bloody, and this time the werewolf riot is probably the same. Now the British Ministry of Magic should have no time to deal with foreign affairs, and Voldemort has started to make a comeback under their noses.
The last time Voldemort rode the tide left by Grindelwald, this time it was something else.
The ballroom was very tall, and so was the entrance, enough for giants to stand in. She still remembered that there were giants on Voldemort's side during the Battle of Hogwarts. There should be more giants in the European continent than in Britain.
On the train, Severus said that there was a tribe of trolls near Liechtenstein, and a witch who was running for the rights of the trolls, plus "Night Caller" and wandering ex-Azkaban guard dementors However, it is not impossible for Voldemort to set off another bloodbath.
People in the Middle Ages had little interest in pacifism. Knights were first of all an army, but not every "knight" was a nobleman. Knights who were not canonized were called "wild knights" and "wandering knights". He could also make a peasant a knight. But if there is no very reasonable explanation for this behavior, this lord will definitely be cast aside by other lords and his loyal knights.
It was not until the Renaissance and later with the development of firearms that knights gradually transformed into squires and nobles. These squires living in the countryside became the link between farmers and nobles. What Jane Austen described was the marriage of English squires and ladies. love story.
Gentleman demeanor has become a cultural element in Britain, but this gentleman is not a "gentleman in the city", but a country gentry in the countryside, a figure like Elizabeth's father.
In the early 17th century, the two core attributes of the country gentleman were independence and leisure.
"Independence" means having enough income to support yourself and your servants, and it also means having freedom from being controlled by others, such as lords, employers, etc.
"Leisure" means not being compelled by livelihood, having the freedom to serve the government, and possessing a fair, sensible and responsible attitude and character.
Great squires, quasi-knights and above served as magistrates, sheriffs, and governors to manage county affairs, while "gentlemen" like Elizabeth's father read books at home, had a headache about their daughter's marriage problems, and occasionally served as jurors. Administer justice without oppressing the poor.
For the vast majority of werewolves who follow the trouble, it is enough to have a job, a place to live, and food to eat. Umbridge's werewolf bill will kill them all at once, and even if they don't want to make trouble, they will have to make trouble if there is no way out. .
If the magic world is to restore stability, the first thing is to stabilize these werewolves, otherwise there is only one way, kill them.
After the bloody suppression, some people will clear their minds, leave the cities and towns, and live in seclusion in places far away from the crowd. As for those who resist, then continue to suppress until they are afraid.
Who told those who have received education and can help werewolves choose to abandon them.
The werewolf has been eliminated by the whole society, thrown aside to fend for itself, without a warm house and stable food, malnutrition and harsh nature will replace the executioner to carry out the execution.
Logically speaking, when the husband leaves home to go to work, the wife should kiss him goodbye, but Pomona is in the ballroom, accompanying another eliminated object, the Obscure who is parasitized by Silence, looking for techniques to use his power.
What the werewolves did was like those poor people who showed their tragic experiences to the world in exchange for donations and attention. Unfortunately, they couldn't get any sympathy, but attracted more hatred.
They have gone from victims to criminals, and it is legal and just to deal with them.
It is said that Louis XIV had an amazing memory. When he entered the hall, he could tell who was present and who was absent at a glance. Therefore, every nobleman who wanted to be favored by the king must be present every day. Louis XIV allowed these nobles to indulge in winning the favor of the king, and had no time to manage local issues, and gradually they lost the power to rule the local area.
Voldemort's way of controlling his subordinates is similar to his. The Death Eaters all competed for rewards in front of him, who called them the "servants" of the Dark Lord.
There is no future to hang out with this kind of people. If it weren't for the fact that they were grasshoppers on a rope, Pomona really didn't want to meddle in his business.
Let a man who is free and "generous" be restrained, he will only give his wife the four words "mind your own business".
If she and Voldemort were in a marriage relationship, it would be okay to say that the divorce would be resolved, the key is that he possessed her.
So, is she happy to have received a beautiful new dress? She was very unhappy, but fortunately no one asked her, otherwise she would have to teach him a lesson.
"How long are we going to practice?" Felix asked.
"You can stop when I say yes," she said like a strict governess.
To be precise, after Voldemort came back, I don't know where the crow went to fool around. Doesn't it hide from the rain in such a heavy rain?
