Chapter 484 Shadow Cabinet
Not caring about other people's evaluations is a valuable quality, as much pressure as Pomona has to withstand, Severus has to withstand the same amount of pressure.
Power is to men what love is to women, it is a powerful aphrodisiac, full of temptation, but once the news of his death and resurrection spreads, this peaceful life of being able to lie down after eating will be gone .
65 out of every 100 tourists who visit London will go to London Chinatown. Among so many tourist spots in London, the rate of tourists visiting London Chinatown is very high.
Chinatown in London is managed by the Chamber of Commerce established by the Chinese themselves. It was established in 1978. At the beginning, the Chamber of Commerce and the Westminster District Government cooperated very happily. The pair of stone lions in the middle of the street were brought from BJ by the Chinese Embassy. The couplet says "the weather is good, the country is peaceful and the people are safe".
Although it is understandable that London Chinatown merchants maintain a multicultural heart, many houses in the Westminster neighborhood are already "antiques". The old Chinatown is one of the most refurbished neighborhoods in London. collapsed.
The real estate developers bought these houses, and the tenants united to achieve "independence" to curb the "speculative increase" of rents. Of course, the rents would increase after the renovation of the buildings, and those small shops would be hit hard or be forced to reduce costs. From a tea restaurant to a fast food restaurant, layoffs are unavoidable. We are all old neighbors, so it is not appropriate to lay off anyone.
The floats for the Spring Festival parade were all brought from their hometown in Guangdong, and gossip spread about how to honor their ancestors and return home in fine clothes.
During the demolition, some people protested with their lives, and some people hoped that it would be demolished as soon as possible. The contradictions in this scene will intensify at any time, resulting in irreversible results.
There will be compensation for demolition, but not all demolition is good. Facing neighbors with different customs alone, the final result is assimilation.
This is what Qin Shihuang did after he unified the six countries. He moved the nobles from the east to Xianyang, and the people from Qin to the east. In the end, everyone became a family regardless of you and me.
Those who are unwilling to be assimilated by others and insist on tradition will rebel. Seeing that the Lantern Festival is coming, and the full moon is approaching, chaos also means opportunities. Anyway, Severus found one, but Pomona thinks this Seems like a bad idea.
"You really think the Queen will be going to Chinatown at this time?" Hermione asked.
"It doesn't have to be the queen, any political figure, the prime minister or the cabinet ministers can do it, they won't really go, let an Auror drink a polyjuice potion mixed with their hair, and walk into the block under the pretext of cultural exchange, In this way, we can send agents in under the pretext of protecting the dignitaries." Pomona said as if she was under great pressure.
At this time, they were in the booth of the Leaky Cauldron. There were not many people during the day, and other members of the Ministry of Magic were at work.
"You can tell Kingsley." Hermione thought for a moment.
"I don't want to see him." Pomona said with a headache, "And don't say you got the information about Summoning Night from me."
"Then how do I tell him?"
"Make an excuse," said Pomona irresponsibly, "just say it was from someone who didn't want to be named."
"Are you sure they really intend to attack the nuclear power plant?" Hermione asked nervously.
"The nuclear power plant is heavily guarded, but you know how useless Muggle soldiers are to wizards. Soldiers in the outback haven't really used a stick for a long time."
The Ministry of Magic is like the shadow of Whitehall in the underground. The high-level officials are not ignorant of it. During the First World War, there were still many witches and wizards involved in the war. At that time, the Prime Minister Archer Evermond urgently passed the bill. To keep them from risking breaching the International Statute of Secrecy en masse, thousands defied him, helping the Muggles as they could.
There is a popular saying in China that monks open their doors in prosperous times, and Taoists go down in troubled times. Although this is relatively one-sided, it is also the attitude of Chinese wizards. They will help "ordinary people" when the world is in chaos.
There will always be some weird things on the battlefield. Justin’s grandfather has seen werewolves. After becoming a werewolf, he must eat human flesh so that his body can recover quickly, otherwise he will be as young as Lupine with white hair have it all.
Only by solving the werewolf problem can we solve the problem of the Yellowstone volcano, which will trigger a world-scale change. The Justinian plague and the volcanic eruption happened at the same time. It may be some kind of ancient bacteria or an existing virus. Variation, that volcano is like a Mongol. It was not a threat at the beginning, but it grew stronger and stronger. Many people think that the vice president in the day after tomorrow is stupid, but sitting in his position From the outside, he knew that his choices and ideas represented the vast majority of people, and he would not believe it until disaster really came.
Self-control and self-control are like muscles. They have to wrestle with desires such as fear, laziness, and greed. The weak submit to it, the strong overcome it, and those who submit to it will lose control of their behavior and become... less "decent" ".
That is a heavy responsibility, and it needs the thick shoulders of a man who stands upright to carry it. The Book of Changes said: Tian Xingjian, a gentleman constantly strives for self-improvement. The terrain is Kun, and a gentleman carries things with virtue.
She looked at Zou Yan's chocolate frog picture on the wall, hoping that this sentence was not just a verbal statement.
"Hurry up, Hermione, we don't have much time."
"Is the assassination of Arthur related to Slytherin?" Hermione suddenly asked just as Pomona got up to leave.
"I don't know," said Pomona. "It has nothing to do with the Slytherins I know anyway."
She strongly hoped that she was wrong and that there would be no more misfortunes in the world, which had already suffered for so many people.
After leaving the Leaky Cauldron, she returned to Muggle London and glanced back at the back alley, which Voldemort had once walked.
He came from a broken family, grew up tearing other people's homes apart, and he spread misfortune.
He wants everyone to be as realistic as him, with only extremes and hatred in their hearts, but there are not only interests between people.
"Oh, my God, the new Minister of Education actually smoked marijuana before the exam." Two Muggle women talked loudly, and the woman in green said, "And it's still at Eton College."
"Is there any school that doesn't have this problem?" the woman in the black coat said worriedly.
Pomona recalled that every time before the Owls exam, the black market in the school would be lively, and all kinds of intelligence enhancers were sold like crazy, as if everyone was counting on it to temporarily turn themselves into a genius.
Only a top student like Hermione can see through those little tricks, and the low school students can only spend money to buy foxy manure, and then swallow it happily.
"I read in the newspaper that when he was young, he met two Russians who spoke fluent English and approached him on the beach in Ukraine. Do you think he has been bought by the KGB?"
"How do you know those two are KGB?"
"Yes, those two are Aurors!" Pomona yelled suddenly as she passed them. "They asked him if he saw a large lizard with bat wings flying by."
The two Muggle women looked at her strangely as if they saw a mental patient.
Pomona laughed loudly, and then, like a drop of water, merged into the sea of people, and quickly disappeared.
