Harry Potter’s Morning Light

  Chapter 612 Dark Knight

  New York and San Francisco are located on the east and west coasts of the United States. They are both prosperous cities, but the difference is really huge.

  New Yorkers are always busy, so they need a 24-hour subway.

San Francisco is full of steep slopes and the traffic is a mess, but that place is close to Silicon Valley. These Silicon Valley elites have become "Newmoney." Will suffice.

  The place where Chinese people like to get together has a common feature, that is, high housing prices.

  For new working-class immigrants, the first step is mostly to rent a house. Chinatown is the place where most Chinese immigrants first arrived in a foreign country and has been serving as a refuge for immigrants.

  In the middle of the 19th century, residents from Guangdong, Fujian and Hong Kong along the coast of China first came to New York. They settled in Manhattan and gradually formed Chinatown.

  In 1965, as the US government relaxed the immigration reform bill, a wave of immigration was triggered. Every year, a large number of Chinese poured into the United States, but illegal immigration also brought about the problem of Chinatown gangs. At that time, New York gangs were rampant and criminal activities were rampant. Chinatown in Manhattan was also described by many media as "one of the darkest corners in hell."

  After several cleanings by NYPD, Chinatown in New York is no longer as good as before.

  Although the name is Chinatown, there are not so many Chinese. One is the rent problem, and the second is that there is no such cohesion. Chinatown in New York has now become a gathering place for Southeast Asian restaurants.

On November 9, 1965, there was a blackout in North America. The New Yorkers who had been busy running around stopped. Everyone seemed to be less angry. People who had been trapped for a long time took all the edible things in their pockets. Come out and share. Peanuts, wild cherry candies, assorted candies, and even antacid tablets. The rare delicacies are the fried doughnuts and Italian sausage. People are worried that they can't find the knife. One person took out the nail clippers on his body and cut the sausage piece by piece. In the middle of the night, when the transportation authorities brought food to people who had not yet been rescued, they saw a moving scene of people leaning on each other to sleep.

   Just when you think you have an insight into the world, people will always use other ways to surprise you. The power outage did not cause large-scale social chaos. Instead, people got a short 13-hour vacation, and everyone could finally get a good night’s sleep.

  Renting a house is also an investment. For the cost of renting an apartment in New York, you can rent a single-family villa in San Francisco at the same price. In the eyes of the Chinese, living in a villa is considered a "good deal."

  Everyone is living in this difficult world. It’s good to take care of each other. The tenant and the landlord don’t have to have a very bad relationship.

  However, when real estate has been skyrocketing, it is almost impossible not to increase rents. If restaurants or other industries want to survive, they must find ways to expand profits. The usual way is to increase prices.

  The landlord’s cost of living has increased and he will raise rents. This time London Chinatown boycotted Roswell real estate developers, mainly to prevent them from rising rents. Real estate in the UK is not as speculative as the US, but as one of the world's financial centers, housing prices are of course high. Coupled with the overall rise in real estate, housing prices have also risen with the tide.

  As the population of various countries is declining and housing prices are soaring, immigration can be said to be an important part of stimulating the economies of various countries. For a family who wants to immigrate, buying a house is an essential step. The new Chinese immigrants are no longer forced to survive more than a hundred years ago and sold as "piggy" to the Chinese workers who build railroads in the United States. These people have high savings, high investment, and generally received higher education. The old capitalist countries have injected fresh blood.

   However, this elite class is a minority after all. The vast majority of ordinary people do not have that much income. After being laundered, illegal immigrants can also borrow money to buy houses and even have children in the United States.

  U.S. law stipulates that anyone born in the U.S. territory is considered an American. This has given birth to more and more foreigners choosing to give birth in the U.S. so that their children can obtain American citizenship. People who have been brainwashed by the American dream feel that they have become Americans and become different. These people cannot bring employment opportunities to local Americans, and even share the benefits of Americans.

In the beginning, this was the trend of Taiwanese people. There were not many Taiwanese people. At the beginning, no one paid attention. However, with the frequent cross-strait exchanges, many "Taiwan experiences" are replicated in the mainland, with a population of more than one billion, accounting for In a populous country with one-fifth of the world’s population, the Americans cannot support so many people no matter how hard they are. Their total population is only about 300 million.

  Fortunately, not all Chinese are eager to obtain American citizenship, but even if the Chinese do not go, third-world countries like Mexico will still smuggle.

  Other countries have the best security in the city center, and the United States has the worst security in the city center. These places have a large population and are relatively mixed, so the security is relatively poor, and it is easy to lose things or even be robbed.

There is a comic called Batman. The male protagonist’s parents were killed when he was young. He was raised by the loyal old butler Alfred. The gap between the rich and the poor caused serious security problems, so he can hold a gun in the United States. Keep guns as much as possible. Guns are a culture and a way of life in the United States.

  Substances are like men’s cigarettes to women, and they can’t be quit if they know it’s harmful. The Japanese have "dismissed" because they have gone through the financial crisis and realized that they have lost everything they don't need. Only the woman knows the kind of distress best in her heart.

  The things in the utility room are usually not taken care of. Even if it accumulates dust, when it is taken out and cleaned up, it seems that every item can evoke a memory. A broken beach volleyball reminds her of a family going to the beach to play, a cradle reminds her of the joy of being a mother at first, but these things are useless.

Children will not use the cradle they have slept in to sleep their children, nor will they repair a broken beach volleyball. Buying a new one is good and convenient. Repairing a broken one may not be able to fix it. Besides, he may not like it. I played volleyball and switched to flying saucers. What are you doing with these rags?

  The objects carry our memories. At the beginning of a new home, there is nothing, but after the same purchase, there will be more and more things in the home.

  If you just can't get in, the originally spacious home will become more and more crowded, and it will eventually become difficult to turn around.

  Throw away some things only when you move.

When Petunia moved away from Privet Road, she took away the blanket Harry was wrapped in when she was a child. She didn’t have no feelings for Harry at all, but she lives in a community that likes to peek at other people’s privacy. She must pretend to be a normal person Otherwise, it will cause trouble for yourself and your family.

  Her sister is dead. This warning should have been clear. Mrs. Figg knew everything about their home. In order to get close to the Dursleys, she even pretended to hate Harry. As a dark game, especially a dumb gun with little power, she has to learn to act.

  After completing the trial, she was fortunate not to be revenge by the Death Eaters, and the Dursleys did not know what Mrs. Figg’s true identity was.

The Desleys were moved to a safe place by the Muggle Witness Protection Program. Only a few Muggle agents and Kingsley Shaker knew their addresses. As the Secretary of the Prime Minister, he still has this power.

  Fenon is a small supervisor of a mining machinery company. If it weren’t for Dobby’s troubles, he could have been promoted, because Harry Potter had to give up his career, and he was transferred to a strange place in his middle age.

  He is very unfriendly to Harry, not interested in everything in the wizarding world, but maintains a good impression of Kingsley.

  Karidy used the book "Family Life and Social Habits of British Muggles" as a textbook when she was in charge of Muggle Studies. I really don't know how she would feel when she met Feinong's kind of people.

  In terms of material aspects, Dudley’s parents are not stingy, but his friend, Pierre Porches, is a boy with a rat face and a scrawny boy. When Dudley is going to beat other children, Peel is responsible for holding them down. In elementary school and during the following holidays, Peel was a member of the Dudley Gang. They also included Danny, Moken, and Gordon. The other children in elementary school didn't dare to violate the Dudley Gang. Their favorite activity was "Chasing Harry."

  If you continue to let it go, Dudley will sooner or later become a stupid and violent man. Fortunately, Dudley has entered the Smeding School-his father's alma mater. His teacher caringly pointed out that he was bullying the weak and the weak, while his parents had always insisted that the teacher did not understand him.

   Dudley is very gluttonous, he is also used to this problem Penny is used to, by the third grade of Smeding, he was fat enough to not have the uniform he wore.

At this time, his teacher began to teach him boxing, initially to lose weight, and later he began to show his talent in this area. In the 1994-1995 school year, Dudley won the championship of the Southeastern Junior Heavyweight Intercollegiate Boxing Competition. , He and his comrades have been harassing the nearby area all summer, smoking, destroying the amusement park, throwing rocks at cars and children, and beating boys younger than them. Until the evening of August 2, 1995, Dudley was attacked by a dementor in the alley between Wisteria Road and Magnolia Crescent Street, which was about two blocks away from his home.

The impact of this incident on Dudley’s mood is obvious. He no longer likes to bully people so much. In addition, he broke contact with his former "friends" when he went to school. When Harry and the Dursleys parted, Dudley was already very good. The grown-up looked like, he even gave Harry a hug as a farewell to living under the same roof for more than ten years.

  The cousin who always liked to bully Harry when he was young and complained loudly about "Why I only have 31 gifts" has grown up.

  His growth experience is completely different from Harry. There are not so many wonderful adventures, nor have he witnessed so many deaths, he is just "sensible".

The separation is simple for some people, but it is very difficult for Pomona. As the elder, she should be more sensible. Tomorrow, no, today is the Lantern Festival, 10 am and 7 pm There are two parades at the point, and the werewolf does not necessarily turn into a moon at night.

  It is the habit of many Chinese natives to travel abroad and spend the Spring Festival overseas. They like shopping just like the Japanese in the 90s and carry a lot of cash with them. The "year" flavor of Chinatown is said to be heavier than that of the mainland. At that time, many people will come in London Chinatown to watch the float parade, lion dance, acrobatics, firecrackers and dragon dance performances.

   After 9/11, the tourism industry was hit hard, and business was not good at all. If the Lantern Festival activities were cancelled for an untrue intelligence, the merchants would lose a lot.

  Luxury expenses are better than natural disasters.

People who get rich by speculation are spending money like dirt, setting a bad example, tearing down old buildings in Chinatown to build large shopping malls can make more money and create taxes than small shops on the street, as to whether it will destroy multiculturalism and harm the local people. No one cares about the benefits.

  Batman must not figure out why his parents were so miserable, so when he grows up he hates criminals and retaliates against them.

  If there is a right way to go, the vast majority of people don’t want to take a crooked road. It is much harder to give people who want to reform and rehabilitate than to kill them all.

   Putting prisoners in jail does not mean the end, but also allows them to re-adjust their mentality and face life.

  Death Eaters because Severus may still have a chance, but the werewolves are not in this list, people hope to kill them, even if Remus Lupin sacrificed his life to protect Hogwarts.

   "Why didn't you tell me to protect your students? I remember his name was Justin, right?" At the door of Hu Ji's restaurant, Severus held the bunch of messy hair behind her ears.

   "You have to be careful." She thought for a long time and only came up with the phrase "Come back alive."

   "The same with you." He whispered, "When this is over, let's take a good rest."

  Brad said to Scarlett that he was going to the battlefield and she should give him some comfort, but Pomona did not give him a kiss like Scarlett.

  "How about drinking some blessing?" she suggested.

  He smiled and shook his head.

   "I don't believe in luck, but strength is more worthy of trust." He hugged her shoulders and lightly kissed her forehead, "Go to your students."

   "I'm sorry for forcing you to do things beyond your ability." She said in frustration, "I forgot how bad you were on the battlefield."

  In the Battle of Seven Potters, he obviously wanted to play a bad curse, but in the end, his hero was invisible, but George’s ears were cut off. The "stray bullet" was the deadliest on the battlefield.

   "I hope you don't think I'm very useless." He pursed his upper lip and said embarrassingly, "But I think you want to listen to the truth more than make a promise."

  Pomona thought for a while, smiled and nodded.

   "Yes, I don't like Fudge's "Everything is fine" set."

   "Don't you feel disappointed?"

   "I don't think you will easily show weakness to me. Let's face any problems together."

  He sighed for a long time, as if he had relieved the burden on him.

   "You are welcome." She said generously. "At Hogwarts, when you need help, someone will always be willing to help."

   "Is this Chinatown or Hogwarts?" Severus asked with a weird smile, squinting his eyes and tilting his head.

   Pomona smiled and shook her head, then the apparition shifted.
