Chapter 3503 Blood Dance (I)

Starlings can be seen in many places in Europe, especially when the sun sets, they will fly in groups, up to 10,000, and look like dark clouds.

Starlings are insectivorous birds that catch many insects every day. Foresters will hang starling nest boxes on trees so that starlings can settle down and help humans eliminate pests.

There is a bird called Augurey, which eats large insects and fairies, but they usually live in thorns and only come out to hunt when it rains.

In fact, they will fly when the weather is good, mainly because fairies are too fast. After the rain wets their wings, Augurey, a relatively slow-flying bird, will be easier to prey on, especially in the rainy winter in Britain, so that they never stop howling.

It's just because of some superstition that the sound of the Augurey indicates death, so wizards avoid the Augurey.

Filch got a dozen Augureys from somewhere, and they were put in cages. Perhaps because they smelled the scent of their natural enemies, the vixens did not come to the cellar, and Filch himself was fully armed, dressed like a bird-beak doctor.

"What's going on?" Pomona asked.

"This is Professor Grubbly-Plank's idea." Filch's voice sounded muffled through the mask. "She asked me to put them here."

"What a great idea, how about putting Augurey birds at the gates of other colleges?" Pomona asked.

"I'm just following orders." Filch said, and then left the cellar with Mrs. Norris, who was also wearing protective clothing.

Fairies look very much like the "fairies" in Muggle fairy tales, with beautiful wings and can use wands. Although their magic power is not strong, they can resist the predator Augurey birds.

This is not to say to defeat the Augurey birds, but to stop it, after all, the size difference between them is too great.

Few people would take Augurey birds as pets, unless they are willing to enjoy loneliness, but Scamander has a nest.

Pomona looked at these skinny birds with sympathy, and then went back to the office to write a notice.

In the future, students can feed the divination birds with the captured foxes, provided that they do not use pesticides.

In addition, they cannot be fed too much, as she is afraid that these birds will become round like the Golden Snidget, and then they will fly slower.

———————————————————————————————————————

Since Scamander is not in the UK, he was not seen at Lockhart's new book launch, but everyone is used to it. This famous "weird guy" prefers to be with his animals.

He has a Bowtruckle as a friend. Although Bowtruckles move slower than insects, they seem to have some properties that can open any door lock, so they are the favorite of thieves.

Scamander once promised to "sell" his Bowtruckle friend to a goblin, and then the goblin's underground bar was "raided" by Macusa's agents. Scamander took this opportunity to rescue the Bowtruckle.

Scamander provided other "goods" to the goblin, but the goblin didn't like anything else, so he wanted the Bowtruckle. If Scamander didn't give it to him, he wouldn't provide any information.

Scamander's Boggart was a desk, which has been a joke for many years.

Perhaps Scamander was not afraid of the desk itself.

Gig took Pomona to the event just to socialize. Her deepest impression of the press conference was that there were too many blood-red foods. She didn't even go back full. After returning to school, she went to the kitchen to have another meal.

Georgiana put down her wine glass. There were other foods in Villa Melzi. He was more generous than Bonaparte in this respect. Whether in the Tuileries or the Grand Trianon, there were no snacks that could be found everywhere in the old court, except for Mozart chocolate, this "Austrian candy".

Because of the results of the US census, the North would win regardless of whether the South participated in the vote. Between prohibition and anti-slavery, the Federation chose anti-slavery, and alcohol taxes were also an important source of income at the time.

Without slavery, not only the cotton plantations in the South, but also the British agricultural aristocracy lost in the competition with the emerging industrialists. The reform of the Corn Law also opened up food imports. If the United States could not provide food because of the war, it would need new food supply areas.

India can also provide food, but India also provides cotton. If food planting is expanded, cotton will be affected.

The mountainous geographical environment of Piedmont makes it impossible to engage in food production like the plains, but mulberry trees and corn can be planted. The high yield of corn can make up for the reduction in grain planting area due to the expansion of mulberry trees, which also leads to the increase of niacin deficiency.

Reducing mulberry trees means reducing silk, and reducing silk means that Lyon's machines cannot operate. If the machines do not operate, the workers will not have wages, and without wages, they cannot afford bread.

This area is close to the former Savoy, Nice, and the transportation channel to Italy.

She never mentioned to Severus about her participation in the press conference, and no one knew the beautiful woman who accompanied Jiger.

In fact, there are many living people pursuing Jiger, even if he is old.

The "ideal" one would of course be someone as "young and strong" and handsome as Lucius Malfoy, but Malfoy was accompanied by Narcissa, who behaved elegantly and reservedly from beginning to end, or in other words, was not happy at all.

It is not surprising to see leaves in the forest. There is an interior designer of the Smith family who is very interested in Severus. She talked to the chubby Pomona about the "falling leaves" pattern.

For a while, the brutalist architecture and decoration style was very popular among Muggles. It is characterized by bold and warm colors, and uses many geometric elements to make the space balanced in an unrestrained and warm atmosphere.

This "falling leaves" pattern does not really imitate leaves, but an orange and red diamond, like autumn leaves. Miss Smith calls this pattern a "marriage" of three and four.

She didn't know why Miss Smith told her this, but she decided to use this inspiration to design the floor of the French Ministry of Magic.

Those trees made into cabinets are still alive, but she believes that most normal humans don't think so. Even if the tree is alive, it should be when it is still lush and green.

The family tree of pure-blood wizards is often in the shape of a tree. The tapestries of the Black family can theoretically be placed in those cabinets. Their family emblem also has "forever pure" written in French.

Even if the direct line is cut off, the side branches are still there, saying that their family tree is dead...

She should have noticed at that time that the cabinets in the French Ministry of Magic in Scamander's memory all had gorgeous metal frames, but she didn't think about it at all.

The Firebolt that Sirius gave to Harry used goblin magic silver, which is useful, but the broom is too expensive.

How much magic silver is on that small broom? And the magic silver on those cabinets is enough to make many flying brooms.

She couldn't imagine how much it would cost, and she couldn't imagine whether the goblins would feel at a disadvantage and want to occupy the French Ministry of Magic.

Percival, one of Isidora's teachers and also Albus Dumbledore's ancestor, was one of the founders of Gringotts. At that time, there was also a goblin rebellion. Humans won and achieved peace by signing a treaty, but the goblins lost the qualification to own wands.

What if the goblins asked the school to "pay" for Isidora and give the school to them?

This is of course impossible. Gringotts' motto is forties quo fidelius, which means "loyalty produces strength" in Latin. Without sufficient strength support, Gringotts, which looks crooked and completely inconsistent with architectural mechanics, will find it difficult to stand firm.

In short, this issue has come to an end for the time being. No matter how much the predecessors considered when building the bridge, there will always be accidents. While the future generations enjoy the benefits of the previous generations, they must also maintain the bridge.

It is difficult to predict what will happen in the future. If everything is "spoiled", how much fun will it be lost?
