Harry Potter Morning Light

Chapter 577 Change of Flowers

Every Sunday, the Flower Market on Columbia Road in London's East End opens.

It is an old quiet road on weekdays, with many cafes and small restaurants along the road, but it will suddenly become colorful on Sundays, where you can find all kinds of flower materials airlifted in from all over the world.

There are still three days until the Lantern Festival. In addition to rosemary, berries, and roses, the flowers offered at the flower market also include plum blossoms, orchids, and hydrangeas, which are favorite flowers of the Orientals. Some people even set up booths to perform flower arrangements.

This year is the Sino-British Cultural Exchange Year. Ikebana has always been considered a Japanese culture, and now some Chinese seem to be paying attention to their own traditional culture.

A group of Chinese girls dressed in Hanfu arranged the flowers they bought from the flower market according to the oriental aesthetic concept, and sold them together with the vases at the entrance of the flower market. There were many people watching.

According to the lecturer, Chinese ikebana pays more attention to epiphany than Japanese ikebana. Flowers are calm and peaceful on the outside, but contain the tenacity of life inside. Pomona immediately fell in love with a red velvet Phalaenopsis, which was placed in a blue glaze vase. In the cold luxury apartment, which is dominated by green and silver, this kind of jumping and warm color is needed.

She was going to buy it just for that vase, not to mention a bouquet of flowers. Besides, she also bought a lot of yellow dancing orchids. It was rare for her to live on the top floor where sunlight could shine in. Think of Hufflepuff's lounge, which is underground like the Slytherin lounge, but half above ground.

The light coming in from the window looked alive on those delicate petals, and the sweet smell of cake and flowers from the kitchen next door mixed together to produce a strange smell, better than Slater, who always smelled musty. Woodland cellars, and smelly Gryffindor towers, smelled much better.

The Hufflepuff boys weren't as aggressive as the Lions and Snakes, they loved the good life and came across as mediocre, like Frank Kennedy.

Girls are more like Melanie. It is not difficult to take care of the sick and poor, give them a bite to eat, and protect magical animals.

But this kind of generosity is often used by others. There are many things in this world that take advantage of other people's kindness to deceive.

Being sincere to others and being treated like a fool, being kind and honest being ridiculed all the time doesn't really make the smart person seem really wise, but people like to do that.

The reason why many people like to bully honest people is because these honest people are like peaches, and many people will specifically pick such soft ones to pinch.

Although Hufflepuff's boys seem timid and fearful, they can still be used at critical moments. All the children of Hufflepuff Academy's age in the Battle of Hogwarts came. Although Zacharias Smith was a deserter, they did not surrender in the face of the large number of Death Eaters.

Although ordinary people cannot shine as brilliantly as the elites of the other three academies, every Mrs. Hufflepuff has a warm little sun in her heart. It is they who make this indifferent and quick-successful world human.

Inventing a self-cleaning dishcloth is far less interesting to an ambitious man than inventing a black magic that can cause mass destruction, but my dear sir, the dishes still need to be washed after eating.

Housework is tedious work, but someone has to do it to keep a home clean, which is certainly not as interesting as talking about law, politics, philosophy, and art. Just doing housework is the same as farming and cleaning sewers and streets. It must be done. In the Middle Ages, people pursued the spiritual world too much and did not manage urban hygiene, so there was a hotbed for plague outbreaks.

Aristotle once said that people gather in cities to live and expect to live better in cities. The ultimate goal of a city is to create a better living space for rational people. Urban planning is a complex and cumbersome task. The scale of the city should not be too large, otherwise it will take a lot of manpower to maintain the operation of a city.

A thousand years ago, Tang Chang'an created an unprecedented precedent - super large city. China is ahead of the West in this aspect. The ancient Chinese used Feng Shui and Zhou Yi to plan the city, which is similar to the Greek city-states, The style of planning and design in Rome was quite different.

The Lifang system is to be managed with the supporting laws and regulations. Unfortunately, people in the Tang Dynasty did not pay as much attention to the education of the rule of law as they did in the Qin Dynasty. In the Tang Dynasty, there were large-scale fires in the East City of Chang'an, compared with the West City, which rarely had fires, and the West Market happened to be a place where more foreign businessmen gathered. This does not mean that the quality and habits of foreigners are better than those of the Tang Dynasty. Look at this flower market. It is essentially the same as the Chinese market. The biggest difference is their fear of the law. Learning the laws of the Tang Dynasty, on the contrary, the Chinese themselves do not take the law seriously.

Hufflepuff will always be the super nanny who hangs out with everyone and ends up driving drunks home one by one sober, and seems to have a never-ending mind.

Hufflepuff actually knew a lot, and they weren't as stupid as they seemed.

If a person has a great talent, modesty is hypocrisy. Socrates is so annoying. It is very difficult to get along with others. Although a silly smile will make others despise you, at least he will not be your enemy. This kind of survival skills, replaced by an oriental idiom is great wisdom and foolishness.

Self-cleaning rags are bought, but black magic is considered immoral, so Hufflepuffs are rich.

Hufflepuff, who is good at plant magic, doesn't need to buy flowers, but the money for buying flowers can make the flower growers earn money to buy bread and other daily necessities, which indirectly feeds some people.

With the decoration of flowers, the home became more beautiful and lively. She was really fed up with the depressing aesthetics of Slytherin, and she wanted to add some soft elements to the house. There was a large pot of flowers on the dining table of Sting's family, and she wanted to put the same flowers, so she bought a lot of flowers.

Look who's that? Severus looked at the booth next to him.

Pomona followed his gaze.

Susan Burns! she said, both surprised and delighted.

Susan, who was paying the boss, was holding a large handful of cosmos when she heard someone call her name and turned her head.

who are you?

Only then did Pomona realize that she had used a trick of her eyes, that Susan would not recognize her old dean.

Severus, who also used a blindfold, copied his hands, looking like he was watching a good show.

I'm your aunt's colleague. Pomona said quickly with an idea.

Oh, hello. Susan believed it easily, and she asked with some embarrassment, What can I do for you?

I was just saying hello, Pomona said awkwardly. Are you still an Auror?

No, I don't work anymore. Now I am a teacher in an off-campus training school.

Oh, is it? It's about the law?

Ernie MacMillan runs a training class for Guardian Guardians in Hogsmeade, and I help out there. These flowers are used to decorate the classroom.

As Susan spoke, she raised the cosmos in her hand, and Pomona felt as if she had been struck by lightning.

What did Ernie and Susan make of that small, dark, very dirty Pig's Head pub that smelled strongly of lamb and had centuries of grime on the floor?

Nice to meet you, goodbye. Susan said politely and distantly, and then disappeared into the sea of ​​people holding flowers.

I can't wait to see Aberforth's face when he hears the news. Severus said with a gleeful smile. That old goat will be very 'happy' to hear that.

It is said that after the Weasley brothers installed a portable swamp in the school corridor, Umbridge couldn't make it disappear, so Filch could only use the boat to send the children to class.

So Hufflepuff's children often accidentally leaked the seeds into the swamp, and they soon sprouted and bloomed, colorful everywhere, and eventually became a new dating mecca.

I'm obviously not a teacher anymore. Pomona said without tears.

Renovating the Pig's Head Bar refreshed her catching someone brewing love potion in the dormitory in the lounge, and became a new brilliant record in her life. Look what kind of students she has taught.

Seeing her so unlucky, Severus was even happier, and he couldn't help laughing, the laughter made her lose her mind, and she wanted to beat him with the flowers in her hand.

Why are Slytherins so annoying? she said through gritted teeth.

Hufflepuff is lovely, but can you help someone get to the top? Severus said with a sarcasm.

Pomona remembered her dream in which Severus told Lily that they would be assigned to Ravenclaw.

She knew nothing about ambition, and a Slytherin who couldn't be taken seriously was a failure.

Expecting him to change for the sake of love is actually her wishful thinking.

Even Lily can't change him, who can change him?

Do you still want to reach the pinnacle of power? She asked wearily.

No, I'm just tired of being a chess piece. After speaking, he put his arm around her shoulders and continued to wander around the flower market.

For Slytherin, washing dishes is also a kind of work. Although he has to do his own work, he gives others a chance to work and reflects his own value by entrusting his own work to others.

Everyone has their own position. How can a person who doesn't know what the Twelve Tables Act be a judge? Everyone forced him to be the Director of the Executive Department of the Ministry of Magic. Who told him to be the living savior?
