Harry Potter’s Morning Light

   Chapter 2645 Wind and Flowers (twenty-four)

   There are two options in front of Pomona.

   One is a loose khaki gown for the plump Sprout.

  The other one was just bought yesterday, wearing it as if bathed in brilliant starlight, shining like silver.

  It would not be unusual for Narcissa Malfoy to wear the latter in public view, but it was too conspicuous for Pomona.

  ‘Today’s protagonist is Severus. ' said Angel Pomona in her ear.

  'Maybe he'll be happy to see you in this. ' Pomona the devil put the new dress in front of her. 'Do you remember when he saw you come out in this dress? ’

   So Pomona couldn't help but get caught up in the memory. This was the first dress she tried on, and Severus froze when he saw her come out of the locker room.

  ‘Just this one. ' said Demon Pomona with certainty.

  ‘How do you know everything is going well today? ' Angel Pomona said, 'How are you going to explain who you are to other people if there is an accident? ’

   So Pomona put down the silver robe, drank the compound decoction, and put on the khaki robe.

   Just as she was finishing her clothes, there was a knock on the door.

   "Wait a minute, please," she said loudly, then turned around in the mirror, and came to the door after making sure there was nothing wrong.

Outside the door stood Severus Snape, who had replaced the black robe he used to wear for the long dark blue coat and dark green bachelor robe she had chosen for him, which fit him perfectly . Broad shoulders, slender waist, no excess weight, not burly, but well-proportioned, and Fernon Desley, who was about his age, could no longer see his toes when he lowered his head.

   "You look so good, Severus," Pomona praised.

  It's a pity that Snape put on new clothes, but Snape didn't want to wash his hair, and it was still greasy.

   "Here." He handed Pomona a bottle.

   She took the bottle, the tentacles felt warm, and through the dark brown glass, you could see a mass of red light inside.

"what is this?"

   "Fire-breathing potion, I made it last night," he said calmly.

Honey Duke has pepper urchins and black pepper urchins, pepper urchins can make smoke in the mouth, black pepper urchins can breathe fire out of their noses, and the fire potion can spray high-temperature flames, Even if it is not as deadly as the dragon flame, it is enough to burn the human tongue, and one of its ingredients is the seeds of the fire bush.

   "Why give me this?" Pomona asked.

"If those interns encountered the eight-eyed spider in the Forbidden Forest like Potter and Weasley, it could create an escape opportunity in an emergency." Save them like Potter."

   "Thank you." Pomona put the bottle of fire-throwing potion on the table by the door. "Let's go."

   He looked back at the potion on the table.

   "You're the most important thing today, 'big star'." Pomona said jokingly, stroking his back, and then she slammed the door shut.

===================================================== =============

   Holly is an evergreen plant widely distributed in Europe, Asia, Africa, and America. They are present in various religious ceremonies, such as Celtic tree calendars and Roman saturnalia.

On the day of the Saturnalia, people will parade with holly in hand, because it is one of the few plants that is still green in the middle of winter. At the same time, on this day, the identity of slaves and slave owners is no longer important, joking with each other, and even slaves pretending to control their masters , kings, tyrants, people recover from their depression in this near-disruptive way.

  The Indians discovered the role of wintergreen oil, which is extracted from the flowers, fruits and leaves of holly. It is yellowish in color and has a refreshing minty smell and can be used to relieve muscle and joint discomfort.

  The natives of the Americas chewed holly to increase lung capacity. It also has a calming effect. In some tribal rituals, shamans will light it as a spice for the blessing of warriors when they go out.

  Tobacco products can be divided into combustible and non-combustible smoking. The most common is combustible smoking. Whether it is cut into filaments and rolled up or placed in a pipe, it needs to be ignited and then inhaled.

The other is hookah and snuff. In a word, human beings began to smoke widely. It began when Columbus discovered the New World. The locals used tobacco in religious ceremonies, and it was given as gifts to young men and girls on wedding nights. Acts as initiation, reproduction and purification.

Napoleon's sanctions on the United States made the "neutral countries" a lot of money, but the Dutch are experienced businessmen. When New York was still called New Amsterdam, they bought Manhattan with shell beads and used it for a third time. The Anglo-Dutch War signed the "Contract of Westminster" in exchange for New York for Suriname and the Banda Islands. Both islands are rich in nutmeg, which in addition to being used as a food spice to enhance culinary flavors, also aids in labor because of its pain-relieving properties.

   The four war conflicts between the Netherlands and England all started with the seizure of spice supremacy, but things have changed since William of Orange became King of England.

   Before the American Revolution, the Magna Carta stipulation that "a man's house is his castle" was only a seductive fantasy, and the British authorities had indeed invaded the privacy of residential and commercial premises, especially when royal property was threatened.

  The American Revolution once proposed "no taxation without representation". At that time, those with voting rights in Britain owned real estate, and those without real estate were still British citizens, but did not have the right to vote.

  The situation in the thirteen states in North America is that they all have real estate, but they are not residents of the United Kingdom, so none of them can vote.

   This can be thought of as a less strong link between the electoral British and the colonies, and such a link is essential to tax the colonies and British citizens alike.

   Before the 1760s, search warrants in the United States gave law enforcement all discretion. In other words, what the searcher thinks is reasonable, basically a reasonable search and seizure. Sheriffs can issue warrants as long as officers and informants report a violation or suspicion without specifying a person or place where there may be evidence of a crime.

Massachusetts passed a law in 1754, and that year's excise tax law allowed sworn tax officials to interrogate any individual for rum, wine, and other spirits drank on private premises in the past year, and charge them by the gallon. Tax. A Boston principal denounced as the deadliest injury to liberty, tax collectors have the power to break chains, locks and bolts, break into bedrooms and wine cellars, excise tax violates the Magna Carta "A man's home is his castle".

   This search warrant, which does not require the signature of a judge and is signed by a sheriff, is a general search warrant, which penetrated the United Kingdom and the colonies. In addition to excise duty, general search warrants are also used to collect import duties. In 1662, the British Parliament established a writ of assistance, which empowered the Exchequer Court to issue a writ to customs officers to allow them to enter "any" dwelling, shop, cellar, storehouse, storeroom or other place with the assistance of the police, in the event of resistance. Doors, boxes, wardrobes or other boxes can be smashed open to seize "any" untaxed goods.

  The king at the time was "Merry King" Charles II, who launched the Anglo-Dutch War with King Louis XIV of France, and the results were mixed because of the unfavorable situation of the war. The law was in effect throughout his life, and after his death and his successors were not repealed, the order of assistance became a long-standing credential for searches conducted by customs officials.

In 1696, the British Parliament brought this statute to the colonies. Originally, because there was no fiscal court in North America, this statute should not have been implemented. However, Massachusetts has incorporated the jurisdiction of the fiscal court into its own Supreme Court, so it has been implemented in the colonies. possible.

   One of the origins is to mention John Winthrop, the founder of the Massachusetts Gulf Company. Before immigrating to the United States, he was the owner of a British manor, and he was not a passenger of the Mayflower.

  At that time, North America was not suitable for Europeans to survive. After 10 years of land reclamation, certain living conditions were obtained. Then John Winthrop led a large number of British immigrants to Massachusetts to establish companies.

   A year before his departure, there was a woolen-related economic crisis in England, and at the same time he received a royal charter from the Governor and Company of Massachusetts, becoming one of the chartered colonial corporations not part of the British government agency.

Massachusetts is under the jurisdiction of the British Crown, not the Parliament. In this Charter, the Massachusetts Bay Company has the power to make, promulgate and establish any beneficial and reasonable laws, statutes, regulations and orders, directives and regulations, except that it shall not Contrary to the laws of the native England, and give it full power to establish the manners and ceremonies of its government and the administration necessary and expedient for the administration of the colonies and their inhabitants; and authorize them to name and appoint relevant officials, if necessary, and identify and establish its responsibilities, powers and authorities. According to the charter, the members of the company are "freemen", and the freemen convene the Great Common Court four times a year, which makes laws for the company and the colonies; once a year, the court elects a governor, a lieutenant governor, and eighteen Assistants are responsible for the day-to-day affairs of the coming year; the Governor or Lieutenant Governor and at least six assistants must attend each Grand Ordinary Court meeting. That is to say, these seven government officials can fully exercise all the legislative and executive powers of the colony. At that time, the number of free people was very small, including only Winthrop and about a dozen other company members. So, if Winthrop and these men had chosen some form of government, they could have unrestricted power in the colonies as long as the laws they passed did not contradict the laws of England.

   In other words, although the colony is the property of the British king, the middle and upper levels of the company have been able to understand and even run government functions, and Winthrop was re-elected as governor for 12 terms.

   Later, there was a rebellion in Massachusetts, which drove away the original governor appointed by the British royal family. The new Governor of Massachusetts, Sir William Phipps, a son of Massachusetts, was also the Governor at the time of the Salem incident.

   Compared with witch trials, Phyllis is more concerned with rebuilding the government, and he needs people to fill everything from sheriff to judge. Universal search powers mean that sheriffs can enter "witch's" homes at will to conduct searches and arrests.

The writ signed by the judge is a writ of habeas corpus. Its earliest use was to allow the client to appear in court. Later, it not only required the client to appear in court, but also asked the client to explain the reason for his arrest. If the interpretation of the parties does not satisfy the judge, the judges release the prisoner, and if there are good reasons, continue to detain the prisoner.

It's like a "witch" in a witch trial said to the judge "I am not a witch", the judge asked her "You don't know what a witch is, how do you know that you are not a witch?", the explanation of "witch" could not satisfy the judge, so She went to the gallows.

Another example is the refusal of a judge to issue habeas corpus, just like the crime of Jenks' rebellion in 1676. Jenks hoped that the king would allow a public petition to conduct the next round of parliamentary elections to elect a new parliament, while the "Happy King" ordered Jenks to be imprisoned, Without the judge's habeas corpus, Jenks, who can't go to court, can only "rot" in the hot prison, and the lower court can't ignore the judge's signature for him until after the judge's vacation.

  During 1764 and 1765 the American Commons were hesitant to discuss whether ordinary search warrants should be made illegal, as the British Parliament forced the colonial corporations to also be divided into Houses of Commons. There has been outrage over general search warrants, assistance orders, excise and import duties. "No taxation without representation" was first proposed by Winthrop at the beginning of Boston's establishment. All taxes are collected after the consensus of the whole people. The task of each local representative is to supervise the "Massachusetts Bay Company", and there is no sufficient reason not to levy taxes. , the tax already collected should be used reasonably.

William Pitt said in a parliamentary speech in 1763 that "the poorest man may despise all the power of the king in his thatched hut, which may not be strong, the roof may sway, the wind may enter, the rain may enter, and the king cannot. Enter".

   It wasn’t until 1766 that the U.S. House of Commons agreed that ordinary search warrants were illegal. In 1767, the first U.S. Congress convened, and the 1696 legislation that extended assistance orders to North America, but did not provide a fiscal court seal mechanism, was introduced. The controversy was originally limited to Boston, but later spread to 13 states. The issuance of warrants by the customs could not prevent the mob from "liberating" the seized goods, so after the promulgation of the Declaration of Independence in 1776, the constitution was also completed that month, and the general search warrant was issued by the fifth declaration of powers. clause is illegal. However, the adoption of the Constitution and the Declaration of Powers does not mean acceptance. Virginia and Pennsylvania were the first to accept it. Delaware later adopted it in the same year with some deletions. Massachusetts only adopted it in 1780, followed by New Hampshire. Well, just as they were legal in passing an order of assistance with Massachusetts back then. The rest of the Southern states, including New York, do not prohibit ordinary search warrants. Five states continued to use it after the war, and they continued to use it against slaves, fugitives, and homeless. Although Maryland has banned general warrants, they are actually used to enforce excise taxes and regulate bakers.

That is to say, both England and Spain want to do business in tobacco trafficking, the Spanish governor of Louisiana does not allow merchant ships without Spanish charters to pass through the Mississippi River, Americans get on board to seize "smuggled goods" that are not taxed, and the British are in By "capturing" the slave ships carrying slaves at sea, the Dutch did not want to interfere in the "trade" on the Mississippi River.

   So Edgeworth is a good guy. It's like this outside. He didn't let Georgiana know at all, and let her struggle for so long with Napoleon's question of being affectionate or not.

   Just then, there was a knock at the door, and Margaret came in with two glasses of beer.

Raggett looked at the bubbling beer on the table, and said after a while, "It is said that in 16th century Spain, poets liked to sing the beauty of women's curves, especially the waist, preferably so thin that a man could put his arm around it, and noble women would be moved by the wind. , put on a leotard made of canvas, and Catherine Medici, the queen of Henry II, was the first to wear it in France."

   Margaret, as if she didn't hear her, put away the beer and stepped aside with an indifferent expression.

   "You want me to wear tights?" Georgiana asked with a smile.

"Later, the tights became more and more complicated. Whale baleen and bones were used. A whaling company was established in the Netherlands. The whales probably did not expect that women who were powerless would become their natural enemies." Raggett bent over to take it He almost touched the beer on the table, just a little.

  Georgianna did him a little favor and let him reach for the beer mug, and he took a few gulps.

   "I smelled smelling salts once." Georgiana smiled. "It's mint."

  Raggert smiled and put down the glass.

   "In order to put on tights, Catherine Medici needed to control her appetite. Tobacco in the Americas is said to suppress her appetite. She likes to smoke while listening to people chatting, even if the other person says something she doesn't like to hear."

  Georgianna looked at Raggart.

   "You don't like what I'm going to say next, are you going to listen or not?" Raggett said.

   "Why do you tell me so much?" asked Georgiana.

   "Because I like you." Raggett smiled. "Of course, I love my wife. She understands what I just said, just like you."
