Chapter 2636 Wind and Flowers (15)

There is a potion material called bloodroot, which comes from North America and is one of the ingredients of beauty potion in Europe.

It itself is poisonous and cannot be taken internally. It can only be used externally. Appropriate use can be used to remove warts on the skin. However, excessive use can damage the skin. You can buy it at Mrs. Primpinell Beauty Potion Shop in Diagon Alley , her beauty potion can not only remove warts, but also remove freckles and acne.

This kind of medicinal material is not as precious as rem bull blood, and it can be found everywhere in North America. It produces white flowers in mid to late summer, and after pollination the double petals drop off and the plant goes dormant. It has a well-developed root system, and after many years of growth, it will form a large root mass. In autumn, when its rhizomes are picked, red juice similar to blood will flow out. Native Americans in North America used it as a dye, so it is also known as Indian red. In addition, warriors would be blessed with this red paint painted on their bodies by the tribe's shaman or themselves before setting off.

The Appalachian Mountains are the collective name for many mountains in eastern North America. The colonists who first arrived in North America settled in the east of the mountains. At that time, it was the territory of the Wapanon and Narragan tribes. After the establishment of Ifamoni College, two boys from the Narragan tribe and the mother and daughter of the Vapanon tribe joined them. They hoped to use their magic Techniques for exchanging wands.

In fact, bloodroot has other uses. Like ayahuasca, it will be used in certain rituals. The colonists had just arrived in the New World. Facing this wild land, the aborigines taught them how to survive. They even brought food and held banquets with guests from afar. Reciprocity, in the form of gift exchanges, was a well-known basis for building military and political alliances. The aborigines actually liked the cooking utensils, guns and clothes brought by the Europeans. The aborigines were not monolithic and had conflicts with each other. Alliances with the colonists could achieve necessary political goals. However, the economic independence of the Americans determined the fate of the aborigines. In the early 19th century, due to the demand for cotton in the British Industrial Revolution, the earliest developed areas were limited to the canal from the inland to the Atlantic Ocean. When the gold rush began and the railway construction across North America began, This was the beginning of the "westward migration" of the aborigines.

The refusal to relocate is the determination of the native people to stick to their land and way of life, but President Jackson has no doubt that the interests of the United States of America override tribal sovereignty. Missionaries and government officials of the time speculated about Native Americans by the same, fixed standard, and even though they had no anthropological knowledge west of the Appalachians to support their assumptions, they still did not believe that Native Americans would till the land, only that Knowing how to fish and hunt, many colonists believed that every American bison killed was equivalent to one less "Indian".

In short, the American bison and the rem cattle that lived with the bison were extinct in this way, and only some anatomical specimens were left in the Ifamony College.

There are also some aborigines who chose to submit, and brought civilization and salvation to the tribe through the public welfare sector. They adjusted and adapted to the new form of agriculture, became rich, and became the "mirror image" of Americans. Intra-tribal recognition of the leader's leadership ability changed from a war leader to a "diplomat" and the ability to obtain a sovereign status recognized by the United States and negotiate with the Americans was an essential element of the leader.

But conflict within the tribe has intensified. Aboriginal women are the main agricultural producers. They grow corn, beans and pumpkins, and men are responsible for hunting. But Jeffersonian agriculture required men to be farmers and women to be housewives, which some tribal elders believed would seriously disrupt the balance between the sexes and turn reciprocity into self-preservation.

Pomona was happy with her partnership with Severus in handling the Chamber of Secrets, but that didn't mean she was happy with his attitude now.

If it was before, Severus told Cedric about the opportunity to arrange an intern next to the Minister of Magic, Pomona might not have believed it, but now with his relationship with Lucius Malfoy, arranging an intern is not a problem. It's not difficult.

So after waiting in a place where no one was around, as soon as he let go of his hand, Pomona took out his wand and pointed it at him.

"What do you want?" he said in a deep voice.

"This is my question for you." She said indifferently.

He looked as if he had come out of some kind of rage.

"Have you practiced black magic?" Pomona asked. She knew that some black arts required extreme emotions, and that couldn't be adjusted in a short while.

He didn't answer.

"Albus told you to meditate, you..."

"I'm fine!" he suddenly yelled at her.

Then she remembered what the yoga master said: Life can be poisoned, just because of a wrong thought or a wrong emotion, or a wrong outlook on life for you.

Severus said something he shouldn't have said to Lily in fifth grade, causing them to part ways from their childhood friendship. Although he seems calm and controlled most of the time, he does sometimes lose control, although Pomona is not I understand what has offended him, I was fine in Diagon Alley not long ago.

Pomona couldn't be like a 16-year-old girl, even though his violent mood was like a flame, and she could feel it from so far away.

"Thank you for your kindness, but I think Cedric has the right to choose what is best for him," Pomona said.

"What does a kid know?"

"Amos Diggory is now a clerk at the Ministry of Magic, but his ancestors had a Minister for Magic..."

"You're all idiots, Hufflepuff," he interrupted rudely.

Pomona wasn't offended. Look, Slytherin, whose interests are paramount, is teaching Hufflepuff, whose interests are not important, what is "right".

"We may not be wise, but we are self-aware," Pomona said.

He looked like he wanted to refute.

"Don't forget Phoebe and Joey, they choose to believe you when the whole school thinks you did it." Pomona said before he could speak, "I told Cedric about the gold because the eyes You will deceive yourself, and don't use immediate interests to distinguish your friends from your enemies."

"I thought you've heard that when the opportunity is in front of you, people who don't know how to give it a go are doomed to be mediocre."

"Hard work is more important than anything else, this is Cedric's choice, Hufflepuff's choice, please respect his choice." Pomona said.

There is a pose in yoga called tree pose, which requires standing on one foot, and it is difficult for beginners to maintain stability and balance.

Yoga masters say that the "energy" should be concentrated on the spine, and the joints should be relaxed and not tense. It is a change from mountain pose. When Pomona practices this action by himself, he imagines himself as a tree, and his heart will become very peaceful.

There are many talented losers in this world. Severus once went on the wrong path. To achieve what he is now, he knows how to correct his mistakes in time, and Albus' protection is indispensable.

"You don't have to be jealous of Cedric," said Pomona. "He's not like you."

"Why is it different?" He asked immediately.

Pomona felt he had guessed the "key."

"He's not as good at potions as you are."

"You think I'm jealous of his talent?" Severus asked in disbelief.

Isn't it?

She didn't know if she said this sentence, anyway, Snape seemed to have heard a joke, laughed and left.

Really gone, he Apparated away from the Smiths' house instead of going back to "socialize".

As soon as he disappeared, she felt that the huge pressure disappeared, and then she felt that she had no strength all over her body, and she couldn't even stand firmly.
