Harry Potter Morning Light

Chapter 466 Rainbow Kaleidoscope

The school opening banquet, Halloween, and Easter banquets are grand banquets that Hogwarts must prepare every year. Most people will choose to leave school at Christmas, and there will be much less food to prepare at that time.

The holidays were especially difficult for some people because he was all by himself, and although Harry had family, he never wanted to go back to Petunia's for the holidays. Dudley's gifts piled up every year for his birthday, and Harry didn't even have a cake.

It was different staying in school, there were his friends everywhere, he could feel that others cared for him, and there were gifts to receive when he was injured and hospitalized, this kind of warmth could not be felt in the Dursleys' house.

Most of the people went back for Christmas, and he was alone in school. At this time, Ron's role appeared.

Arthur and Molly went to visit Charlie in Romania on Christmas Day when Harry was born, and Ron had to stay at school. delicious food.

For the person who cooks, it is a kind of satisfaction to see the people who eat so deliciously, but his sister-in-law Fleur thinks the dishes at Hogwarts are too greasy. Now it is her turn to cook, Pomona While stuffing the sausage, he thought comfortably, Bill couldn't stand her bland taste.

The taste of revenge was so good that even if she couldn't see it, Pomona felt good just thinking about it in her head.

When Bill disliked that Furong's cooking was not good, she would definitely understand Pomona's feelings. Although they are the same kind, they are disgusted by others. The person in the center, she likes to attract everyone's attention. Pomona has been hiding for so many years and is used to being an invisible person. They are people living in different worlds. It is estimated that it will be difficult to become friends in this life.

In Muggle soap operas, housewives can often be seen chatting on the phone, making it hard to believe how much they have to say.

After they become housewives, they will know that Fleur, the prom queen of the Triwizard Tournament, is not like Pomona. She has to clean the castle and cook, and chatting can relieve stress. Now Pomona wants to find someone to chat with.

Good morning.

Pomona looked up towards the kitchen door, where a handsome young man was smiling politely at her.

He is well dressed, even if he walks in Muggle London, he will not look weird. He has chestnut hair, brown eyes, a dark blue coat, an iron-gray vest, and short boots on his feet. He looks very energetic. Holding a pink cardboard box in his hand.

Good morning. Pomona stopped what she was doing. Who are you, young man?

My name is Iris, and I am working as the secretary and secretary for the organization. He put the pink paper box on the cooking table, I just passed by Holland Park, and there is a nice cake shop there. I heard that Mrs. I like sweets very much, I hope you like it.

Pomona had heard of this young man, whose father was Madame Zabini's servant, who had given her everything but a villa and nothing for his own son and wife. That's a lot of money.

Iris didn't intend to take his father's last name, and Iris was more suitable for a girl. Maybe his mother, like Molly, wanted her son to be a girl.

Accustomed to seeing a straight man of steel like Severus, Pomona couldn't help muttering to herself when she suddenly saw a man dressed with taste.

Is Iris gay or straight?

You discovered the secret of the Astonia Blood Curse? Pomona asked.

Iris smiled silently.

He looked away from Pomona, looked out the window at Kensington Palace, and said after a moment.

Before George III, Kensington Palace has always been the residence of the royal family. Later, because of witchcraft in the palace, Buckingham Palace was bought for Queen Charlotte and his children. The king himself lived in Kensington Palace Here, in 1782, the Muggle Prime Minister, Lord North, secretly summoned the Minister of Magic, Porteous Natchibow, to find out if he could help George III cure mental problems, does your lady know about this?

George III is a well-known figure in British history. Historians commented on George III that his life was kaleidoscope-like. The premier world power.

Britain defeated France in the Seven Years War, allowing Britain to overwhelm other countries and successfully dominate North America and India. However, with Britain's defeat in the American War of Independence, George III lost a large number of colonies in the Americas. The independence of these colonies eventually led to the founding of the United States .

He is an upright king like Shakespeare's King Lear. Other kings have mistresses, but he has no mistresses. And the first thing he did after he came to the throne was to rectify the notorious luxury and lust in his grandfather's court. Few kings are like him Do your duty to your subjects.

He didn't read well, but he worked tirelessly to fulfill the duties of the king. It was also during his reign that Britain completed the constitutional monarchy.

Many people have written books analyzing why the constitutional monarchy survived in England and failed in France, and the final conclusion is that it is directly related to the integrity of George III.

Wu Zetian's husband, Li Zhi, had severe headaches like George III, and many doctors couldn't cure them. Only one man named Ming Chongyan could treat the emperor's illness. It is said that this person was a wizard.

The court is often closely related to witchcraft. George III announced that he went crazy in 1810, which was caused by the death of the princess Emily, not 1782 as Iris said just now.

During the tenure of George III, many prime ministers were changed, and the prime minister and his cabinet often did not have a long life without the full trust of the king. However, if the prime minister did not get the respect and support of the parliament, he would not be able to gain a foothold. Lord North was the king in his childhood. Playmate, and had the support of a majority in Parliament for 10 years.

He is an excellent orator and an excellent peace prime minister. In order to appease the American colonists, he canceled most of the taxes levied on the Americas and kept the tea tax alone, which led to the outbreak of the Boston Tea Party. Opposing the tea tax to dump tea from tea merchant ships anchored in Boston Harbor into the sea started the War of Independence, but he was removed by a motion of no confidence because word of his belief in witchcraft leaked out.

George III lived a magnificent life, but he was tortured by illness in his later years. His health has always been good, except for the serious illness in 1765, which left the root of the disease and relapsed many times. During the meal in the castle, he suddenly beat the crown prince hard and tried to knock the crown prince's head against the wall. During this period, he was muttering, foaming at the mouth, and his eyes were bloodshot, as if he had been witchcraft.

The quacks used cruel methods to treat the king in the same way as the mental patients. Later, he was tortured out of shape. After he changed from intermittent insanity to permanent insanity in 1811, he was imprisoned in Windsor Castle. Stumbling back and forth in the isolated house, he was blinded by cataracts at that time, and sunlight meant nothing to him. Only the Order of the Garter on his chest reminded the world that this sickly old man was the King of England.

Sounds like you know a lot, Iris.

I like reading, especially other people's diaries and private letters. I often find some unknown secrets. George III once tried to establish diplomatic relations with Emperor Qianlong of China, but Qianlong gave George III an imperial edict. The letter It is now on display in the British Museum, madam, would you like to see it?

The Kang-Qian Prosperity of the Qing Dynasty is as follows in the records of the British Mission: Whether it was in Zhoushan or the three days of going up the Baihe River to the capital, I did not see any proof that the people had enough food and clothing and the countryside was rich and prosperous. They are all bungalows with mud walls and thatched roofs, and in fact, everything you see is a scene of poverty and backwardness.”

Poverty, shocking poverty, the so-called flourishing age is only touted, compared with the luxury of the ruling class, the bloated bureaucracy, a large number of Eight Banners children get something for nothing, a lot of social resources were wasted, the literary prison imprisoned thought, and a lot of excellent culture was destroyed , military science and technology stagnated or even began to regress, and the independent personality of literati and officials was polished away, and there was no pride at all except kowtowing.

When Qianlong engaged in literary inquisition, Washington had already led the Americans to win the War of Independence.

When Qianlong went to the south of the Yangtze River to play, George III was using his own private funds to support academic institutions such as the Royal Academy of Art and the Imperial University to restore his vitality after the war with France.

Pomona doesn't like Manqing at all. Even though the cheongsam is very feminine, she didn't wear it when she went to the city hall exchange meeting.

Nor was she interested in the looted works of art on display in the British Museum, the incriminating evidence of imperialist robbery that one should be ashamed of, not complacent about.

I heard from my husband that you want to go to the museum today, and I hope I have enough knowledge to be your company. Seeing that Pomona has not responded, Iris said suddenly.

Is it inappropriate for me to stay here now? Pomona asked.

Sir, I just don't want you to be bored. I'm afraid the topics they will discuss later will make you bored.

Pomona didn't say another word, and went back to the cloakroom to change.

She is a woman, isn't she? So some men's topics are not suitable for discussion.
