Harry Potter’s Morning Light

  Chapter 1076 Tenants&Talent

  Concierge Alfonso opened the door of the apartment for Pomona.

  The building set on fire by the werewolves is located in North Kensington. It is a social security "welfare house". It is a 24-story building built in the 1970s and is considered a tall building in the Kensington area.

The Muggle government refurbished the building last year, but because of cutting corners and using inferior materials, the materials that should have been fireproof and thermally insulated did not work. Therefore, the fire burned the entire building. 79 people were killed in the fire, but the police did not It was not said that it was a man-made arson, but it was announced that it was an accident caused by the aging of the refrigerator.

This year coincides with the general election year. The leader of the Labor Party called on the wealthy of South Kensington to use their empty houses to shelter the homeless fire victims. Therefore, in addition to tourists, there are some working-class housing in this wealthy area. customer.

  In London, every district has affordable housing. This is for the government to solve the London housing crisis so that low- and middle-income people can afford housing. The government mandates all real estate projects in London. No matter how high-end the project is, no matter which top-level or popular location, the government must provide affordable housing.

  These affordable housing need to line up to apply, and government officials such as police and nurses also need to line up.

  Was caught in a fire, but moved into a mansion because of it. From living on the streets with nothing to becoming neighbors with the top rich, this feeling is very unreal, like a dream.

But this is luck. According to British policy, people living in government low-rent housing (CouncilTenants) in each area can only be arranged by themselves in that area, so even if the price of apartments in Kensington is high, the poor cannot be arranged. If you go to other remote areas, you can only solve it nearby.

  The people who were sympathetic to the victims at the beginning exploded after learning the news:

  The government is simply using taxpayers' money...I will never vote for the Conservative Party again! I'm furious!

   is ** teasing me, right? I know that the fire is a tragedy, but now the residents of government low-rent housing live in better places than most people! This is too unreasonable!

  I’m thinking: if I light up my refrigerator, the government will buy me a country house in Cornwall that I dream of covering an area of ​​5 acres with a swimming pool and overlooking the Atlantic Ocean.

  There are also dark ones:

  What about compensation? Is the end of living in a mansion? Where did the insurance go? (1000 words conspiracy theory omitted below)

  In short, after the fire, many people began to think about some previously neglected issues. When the victims moved into the mansion, the Muggles thought that helping these people solve the housing problem was the top priority, but on the other hand they felt sour. Anyway, this kind of pie didn't hit them, and they didn't think it would be easy.

Pomona was very happy to get rid of the two gloomy Slytherins. She hummed a song and planned to go around and go to Diagon Alley again, but she was stopped by someone after she left the door for 1 minute.

  The young man Pomona knew her, it was Jan Felix, and there was a middle-aged woman on the corner not far away.

  She didn’t seem to be doing very well. Her hair didn’t have any luster. The material of the clothes was ordinary but washed very clean, but it was washed a little too clean, and the original color of the fabric was washed away.

   "This is my mother, Fiona." Felix introduced.

   "It's nice to meet you, madam." Jan Fiona said timidly, she didn't even dare to shake hands with Pomona.

   "Uh...what are you doing?" Pomona asked Felix.

   "My mother doesn't believe me, she thought I robbed the shop." Felix said, "I took her to see my ‘employer’."

Pomona looked at Fiona, but Fiona did not dare to look directly at her. She hid her hand under her armpit, looking nervous and defensive, just like when Dobby brought the house elf Shiny to Hogwarts. .

   "I'm so sorry, I can't take you upstairs now." Pomona said in a soft voice, "My husband is entertaining guests now."

   "It's okay, I...I...I just..." Fiona stammered, as if to make a decent excuse for herself.

   "I'm going shopping, would you like to go shopping with me?" Pomona asked, "It's boring for me to go shopping alone."

   "Let's go, mother." Felix said, pulling Fiona's sleeve.

  Fiona looked hesitant and struggling.

   "Have you visited the wizard's shop?" Pomona said with a smile.

   "Wizard?" Fiona asked in surprise.

  "So is your son, and you are a Muggle. A Muggle refers to a person without magic."

  Fiona seemed to have heard of it for the first time, her mouth widened.

  "Have you never told your mother?" Pomona asked Felix.

  Felix shrugged "She didn't believe me at all."

   Pomona raised her eyebrows, and had a bad idea in her mind.

   "Take my hand Fiona, remember not to let go."

  Fiona looked at a loss.

   "Catch it, Mom," Felix urged.

  Fiona hesitated for a moment, but still trembling to hold Pomona, Pomona took the opportunity to grab Felix’s hand, and the three of them apparated together.

  After a brief squeeze, they came to Charlie’s Cross. There is a certain risk of apparition, but South Kensington is not far from Charlie’s Cross, and Pomona finished it easily.

   "Broken Cauldron Bar, your mother can't see Felix, mix her well."

   said Pomona, and then walked into the alley behind the bar first, and after tapping the red brick wall with a magic wand for a while, the bricks began to turn on their own.

  It didn't take long for Dijiao Alley to appear in front of the three of them.

  "This is the wizard's shopping street." Fiona, who was indifferent to Pomona, said, "Do you believe we are wizards now?"

  Fiona opened her eyes wide, looking at the weirdly dressed wizards and the goblins who came out from Gringotts to do business, she was so shocked that she couldn't speak.

   "I want to buy a tea set, maybe you can give me some suggestions." Pomona took Fiona's hand and said happily, "Maybe we can have afternoon tea together next time."

  Fiona seemed to have been hit by a zombie floating curse, and followed Pomona stupidly, walking on the wizard's commercial street.

  Felix guarded her the whole time, and didn't look around like when she first came to see everything fresh.

  While passing by Lihen Bookstore, Pomona remembered.

   "Your homework, Felix!" She turned to him and said, "You have been playing these days!"

   "No!" Felix hid behind Fiona "I don't do homework!"

   "Listen to what your son is talking about." Pomona complained to Fiona, "We said we wanted to..."

   "I don't take an exam!" Felix answered.

   "You have to take an exam if you become a wizard?" Fiona asked blankly.

   "Of course I have to take the test, and there will be a general wizard rank test, and an advanced wizard rank test in the future. When you learn the phantom shift, there will be a phantom shift test.

   "I hate exams!" Felix wrinkled his facial features.

   "You can't help me, young sir!" She stuck her waist, like an angry teapot, "Go in with me to buy teaching materials."

   "Didn't you say you want to buy tea sets?" Felix said in a dying struggle.

   "It's too late to buy the book after I have bought it!" Pomona stretched out her hand to catch the little bastard.

  As a result, he hid behind his mother, out of reach of Pomona, and made faces at her.

   "How much does it cost?" Fiona asked.

   "You don't need to worry about this." Pomona said grimly, "Where is your husband?"

  "Still in prison." Fiona said calmly, "Sometimes he sends some money over, and I usually work in the laundry."

   "So, your family is basically the two of you?" Pomona asked.

  Fiona nodded.

  Pomona didn’t even know how to say it.

   "Well, you don't want to buy a book, don't go, anyway, I still have old textbooks!" Pomona said aggressively, "Don't be like a monkey, pay attention to your words and deeds, young sir!"

  Felix may be relying on someone to support him, not taking Pomona’s warning seriously.

  This makes her even more sad.

   "Let's go." Pomona said to Fiona in an evasive manner, patrolling the shops on the side of the road to see which ones were selling porcelain.

  As Scarlett said, I don’t want to think about it today, but I will think about it tomorrow. After all, tomorrow is a new day.
