Harry Potter’s Morning Light

   Chapter 2475 Transition

  In Muggle fairy tales, Santa Claus will ride on a reindeer sleigh on Christmas Eve, come to the good children's house by drilling the chimney, and stuff them with Christmas gifts in wool socks hanging on the fireplace.

   It's hard to imagine that Santa's size can get into a chimney. In fact, children under the age of 14 who can get into a chimney are often sent by their parents to be apprentices to chimney workers. The job is extremely dangerous, because people build mansions with complicated flues, and the cleaning kids sometimes die because they get stuck in the walls and can't get out. Although a petition for legislation to protect chimney sweeping children was filed in 1788, and it was successfully passed, this act was only a "charitable act" in the implementation process. If the parents did not lack money at home, they would give the children instead of letting the kids drill the chimney.

  The reason why this act caught Georgiana’s attention was because a wizard also participated in the legislative process. This wizard was named David Potter, Harry Potter’s great-great-great-grandfather. Like other laws, this bill was initially blocked, but it may be possible that David Porter used some "little tricks" to get it passed in Parliament without any difficulty.

  This is of course a violation of the International Secrecy Act, but no one has evidence to prove it, and since the bill later became a dead letter, no one cared about it.

During the heyday of the Industrial Revolution, many countries, especially the United Kingdom, used child labor on a large scale in the process of industrialization, which promoted economic development and increased family income in the short term, but the "over-exploitation" of children led to national, Society and children pay a heavy price in the long run.

For every 1,500 prisoners arrested in London, there are close to 400 underage prisoners, and these underage prisoners are often held in adult prisons, where they not only fail to correct their behavior, but look like Just like entering a "training school", I learned a more advanced way of committing crimes.

   What is even more shocking is that the high incidence of these juvenile prisoners happens to be 15-20 years old, that is, when they are about to become adults.

They soon learn that they can easily get more than labor to feed themselves and their parents by stealing, whether it's chickens in a coop, pigeons in a pigeon coop, or jewelry in a jewelry box, if they didn't Know how to sell stolen goods, they'll learn it in prison. So there have been calls for separate detention of juvenile prisoners from adult prisoners, or the establishment of correctional schools like Stonewall Secondary School.

  Good-hearted people feel that the human soul is immortal, that God can see into every child the same noble qualities as ours, and that love should be the most important emotion of all those who try to influence these children.

But Georgiana had heard that the "teacher" of the reformatory school believed that the whip was better than the "education of love", as did Feinon's sister Maggie, who heard Harry before she was blown into a balloon. Happy to be whipped.

Child labor not only seriously damages the physical and mental health of children, but also deprives them of the right to receive normal education. Competence in technically demanding production procedures was particularly evident in mid-19th century England.

Other countries, especially Germany, pay attention to basic education, and their development speed is astonishing. It is only then that people realize that the exploitation of children is actually the exploitation of the future of Britain. Children begin to be regarded as the wealth of the country, not the parents', if parents continue to treat their children If you send it out to make money, social workers will intervene. The chimney law was really implemented after 1875. It took nearly a century for the entire law to go from legislation to practice, and people regarded it as a "shameful bad habit".

   Children from poor families are sensible, especially boys, and they start working early. The problems of girls are much more complicated. They are very early in development. Napoleon also had a "lover" named Georgina, who was not yet an adult, although Georgina was very mature in every way.

   This is a characteristic of this era, and no one thinks it is problematic to have such a relationship with an underage girl. Bonaparte didn't have access to these things in Corsica before, and he didn't have the chance to meet them before he became famous. When he reached this position, "all kinds of strange phenomena" appeared one after another.

  The big city is a big dye vat. Compared with the bustling city, she prefers the ice and snow in Scotland. Like Hermione, she likes to read as a "pleasure", although this is difficult for Ron and Harry to understand.

   She now wants to leave everything behind and go to the library of the magical world to check the information about Yestral. This kind of animal is obviously related to death, and almost all the dead people she encounters here. If Thestral has the ability to travel between two worlds, she can leave here.

   That's right, she was waiting for Severus to pick her up, but that didn't mean she was going to be a "princess" who was in charge of screaming all the time, and handed over all the things that required her brain to the "knight" to solve.

   But then she soon found out that she didn't have that time, she had to go to social activities, and before she could witness Leona being handed over to the Belgian police, she got on the carriage and headed to the city center again.

   There are more children attending Sunday schools in the countryside than in the more industrialized cities. Education was originally the privilege of the middle and upper classes, and the lower classes were afraid to reach it, but people soon realized the dangers of ignorance and illiteracy to society, and people felt that educated people were less likely to be fooled than illiterate people. Moreover, the rough body of the people at the bottom poses a threat to the personal and property safety of the middle and upper classes.

   But Georgiana remembered Voldemort. If he hadn't gone to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, had not learned the skills of using magic, and had access to Horcrux knowledge, would he have caused so much harm to society?

She took out the rough recorder again, and compared the Sirius in her memory with the one she saw just now. She remembered a "dream" yesterday, a pool of blood appeared on the ground, and two shadows were fighting for it. , one of them won, he was lying next to the blood, and quickly mutated, looking like a man with tattoos all over his body.

   The Sirius in her memory, especially Sirius after returning from Azkaban, has always been very thin, and that person has strong muscles.

   That can't be him, because Sirius is dead, in the death chamber of the Department of Mysteries at the Ministry of Magic.

   His body passed through the drapery in front of the arch and fell to the ground.

   The crux of the question is, where does that arch lead to? As far as she knew, it existed before the Ministry of Magic was established, even before the construction of Whitehall.

   She also encountered one in the Alps. That kind of drapery seems to be able to be made. Even Grindelwald used it when he summoned his followers.

  Harry is a kind child, but what he is encountering now is not something that a child can handle, not to mention that Albus Dumbledore is no longer there.

   She has no one to rely on except herself.

   "Angel? What an insult." She muttered, putting the flute into the bracelet.

   "What about Sweetheart?" asked Albus, who was sitting across from the carriage.

   She ignored him and chose to close her eyes and take a nap.

   After all, if he is an illusion from her schizophrenia, then she better ignore it.

  If he's not, then she'd better not talk to him lightly until she finds out whether he's an enemy or a friend.

   After all, Eve just talked to the snake casually, and was deceived in the end. As far as an assistant is concerned, not only did she not help, she was also expelled from the Garden of Eden with Adam.

   She should have put a seal on its mouth, what a pity she didn't, so why did she?

  Can't, or won't? Because no one wants to talk to her for too long, she is so lonely that no matter who the other party is, she is willing to talk to him.
