Chapter 873 The Magical Painting Box

Even though platforms 9 3/4 and 7 1/2 were camouflaged, Muggles sometimes stumbled onto them.

They were so surprised when they saw the smoking steam trains that they thought they were in a museum.

At this time, the rude wizard will throw them out the same way as a child who broke into the bar by mistake, and push them back to the Muggle platform, without erasing their memory.

So Muggles have an urban legend that there is a secret staircase at King's Cross Station, through which you can get to a space where old locomotives are stored, but not many people are interested in this legend.

On trains or subways full of men and women reading newspapers, trying to chat on a train is a disaster, and even the naughtiest of kids are asked not to make excessive noise.

If someone says "Hey, let's go find that secret staircase", they are guaranteed to be looked at with psychotic eyes. In fact, the British Psychological Association also listed "train fans" as a type of autism. It's called Asperger's Syndrome.

Pure-blood wizards were bothered by this and wished they didn't share the platform with Muggles, and the Ministry's response was the same as before: go to platform nine and three quarters and catch the train, or don't go to fucking school!

Then the whole world was quiet.

Before the value system was completely reversed, Britain had a kind of elegant demeanor without words. No matter what it was in private, everyone knew restraint in public life and behaved modestly and noblely, as if they were making a little contribution to this elegant style.

At that time, the society was full of love and kindness, and the director of the Wood Orphanage was a good person. Although she was under a lot of pressure, she didn't make Tom Riddle as miserable as Oliver Twist, and the TV show also had depth.

But no matter what you do these days, you end up feeling guilty. Go hiking in the mountains, and someone will accuse you of making national parks more crowded and fragile hill trails more weathered.

When you go to watch a football match, the security personnel will suspect that you belong to the gang of football hooligans. You go to the scene to watch the game to cause trouble. If there is a live broadcast of the game, can’t you watch it at home?

During the summer vacation at Lily's house, Mr. Evans once told an interesting incident that he encountered during a business trip in Manchester. At that time, the train broke down and stopped in the green fields, and the radio announced that the terminal would be changed to another place.

However, when he arrived at the scheduled platform, no one got off the train, only one Japanese got off the train honestly, and then he watched the train staggeringly on the platform and continued on to Manchester, leaving him alone. on the platform.

At that time, Pomona listened to this incident as an interesting story, but now I think it is the cultural difference between the East and the West.

The East puts more emphasis on collective and individual obedience, while the West is more conformist and falls into a situation of pluralistic ignorance. When the situation is not very clear and when uncertainty prevails, Westerners are most likely to accept and refer to the behavior of others.

Everyone likes to show confidence in front of others, take it easy, don't get off the train, I won't get off the train, even if the flight attendant has warned that the train is broken, and the flight attendant can't call passengers "assholes", he is a member of the service industry , passengers can complain about him.

But in the eyes of the Japanese, maybe the flight attendant and the broadcaster represent the authority. The train company should make arrangements after obeying the order to get off the train. This is the case in the East. This is not the case in the West. .

Even America, which is very similar, is seen as brutish in the eyes of the British, and some even say they have ruined the English language because they don't speak the "Queen's accent" at all.

The common people learn from the nobles, and the nobles learn from the royal family. As long as the royal family does not admit that the persecution of wizards is illegal, then the common people will continue to persecute wizards. Arianna was killed by three Muggle children and caused a magic riot. These three Muggle children will not be punished by wizarding laws, nor will they be punished by Muggle laws, which is different from the Catholic countries on the European continent.

She only learned the word "witchcraft slander" during this trip. However, because of the International Law of Secrecy, wizards don't know what Muggles think, which gives ambitious people like Grindelwald a chance to take advantage of it.

The weather at the seaside is changeable, leaden gray clouds cover the rising sun again, and today is another gloomy rainy day.

She pressed the scarab wings on the duffel bag, followed by a wave of magic power, and when she opened the bag again, it was no longer a rope ladder, but a painting box filled with turpentine and rainbow-colored paints.

Severus added a tie rod to it, so they were like wandering artists dragging their paint boxes.

The artist's clothes are weird, she can change into a wizard robe like a bohemian goddess dress. The Muggles might have taken Harry for a stilt walker when Hagrid was wandering the streets of London with him.

Slytherin has nothing but exaggerated gorgeous appearance and arrogant aristocratic temperament. The old bat will not use clothes and scarves as camouflage in the suitcase like Newt Scamander.

The copper hardware looks very textured, and it can walk by itself after adding four table legs.

Aristocrats have the style of aristocrats. Although Severus is a declining nobleman whose family has fallen, he is still half Pukins.

When disaster strikes, civilians can choose to flee, but nobles must stay behind. Purple robe is the most beautiful shroud.

Evan Rozier, who was betrayed by Severus to the Auror, would rather die in battle than surrender. When he was studying in school, Evan, who was a nobleman, bullied Severus, a poor boy from the slums, and put his The pet was tortured and killed.

Killing a thorn was nothing to the murderous Death Eater, he had long since forgotten it, but Severus did.

Patience is for revenge, and there are few tastes sweeter than revenge in this world. The head of Slytherin is such a person who holds vengeance.

But his heart was not as dark and chaotic as Voldemort's.

The paints in the painting box are neat and orderly, and the brushes are also neatly placed. Many people's stationery is neatly placed at the beginning, but it will become a mess after a long time.

But in Severus's potion warehouse, every ingredient was well managed by category, so that if someone stole a little, he would find it immediately.

This is another fascinating place besides his brain.

An ascetic man does not mean that he has no desire, but that he can control this desire. Severus' coat was heavily buttoned to the throat, Harry wore a pullover T-shirt and a zip-up jacket, and Sirius favored a leather jacket, which he wore for rides on his flying motorcycle.

Many women like Sirius' wildness, but she prefers Severus' style.

Errare humanum est.

It is human nature to make mistakes.

Taste is different, and people have their own preferences. She just likes to tease complicated and elusive people like him out of control.

Just like some people like to read simple and popular love stories, some people like to read brain-burning suspense novels, wisdom is a plump and juicy fruit, if you eat it, you will die, but when you eat it, the taste is very sweet, even for That one bite would be worth it.

"Do you like it?" He put his arms around her from behind and said in a standard "Queen's accent".

"Like it more than I like it." She looked at him and whispered, "It's like a work of art."

"Your botanical garden..."

"That's another matter." Pomona lowered her head and put away the painting box.

"You can plan like Padua's botanical garden," he said, raising his voice.

"No."

"Why?" he asked.

"Because that's my freedom." She zipped up the zipper and held the painting box in her hands. "Do you want me to resist you like a resistance organization, sir?"

The ex-headmaster had a scowling look on his face, apparently remembering all the troubles Dumbledore's Army was doing.

Neville Longbottom likes to slap signs all over the place.

"Come on, last time we were walking on the Slavic embankment I saw an oriental goods store, let's go and see what good things are there." She said, taking his arm.

"What's so good about cheap stuff?"

"Trust me, this store is different," she said confidently, and immediately Apparated.

Liberalism was born during the struggle with the supremacy of the church in the Middle Ages. The "tolerance" of the church is very strong, and the secular court is different.

Take as an example the procedure of the French Inquisitor Bernagui

arraignment

to interrogate

judgment

Punishment: penance (divided into simple penance and disgraceful penance), confiscation of property, imprisonment, execution by fire (the number of people executed by fire is small and the region is obvious).

posthumous trial

All punishments are executed by the secular power, and the judgment of burning is generally aimed at those who refuse to repent and those who have fallen into heresy again. The decision to fire the heretics is determined by the Inquisition to collect evidence, interrogate, and record Those who do not repent are sentenced to be burned at the stake by secular powers.

There is a limit to tolerance.
