Harry Potter’s Morning Light

   Chapter 742

  One early summer morning, light pink sunlight came in through the gaps in the vault of the promenade. Between the pillars and the pillars, light and shadow continued to alternate. The man who shuttled through it turned his head slightly and looked at the scenery outside the promenade.

  In the distance is a blue and white sky, and white sails slowly appearing below the coastline. Those are merchant ships returning from long voyages.

   Near the pier, fishermen rowing small boats transported their newly caught prey to the floating market to sell.

  This is an ordinary day in Venice, and it is also an unusual day. Every year in the 15 days before and after the Ascension Day, as the Governor of Venice, he will "get married" once.

  Polygamy is forbidden among Christian princes and nobles, but the Duke of Venice is still allowed to remarry once a year. In other words, although the chief married repeatedly, he is by no means really living in a married life.

  He is married to the Adriatic Sea. The sea is his bride. He wants to take a boat and throw a gold ring into the sea.

  This tradition has lasted for centuries. No one knows why. Ordinary civilians will set up stalls for this day, while the governor will return to the church of San Niccolo after the ceremony on Lido Island to celebrate the mass.

  It has become a grand festival. People set up markets, put up shelves, and launched various large-scale cultural and entertainment activities.

  The most exciting thing is that like a carnival celebration, people wearing masks set off to the alleys to hide their identities and indulge in the enjoyment of the whole night.

This ceremony lasted until 1797, because Napoleon's army attacked the permanent neutral Republic of Venice. When he entered the city, he burned the pier. The luxury cruise ship "Bucintoro" used in the "Marriage to the Sea" ceremony was also used. It was sunk to the bottom of the sea. With the demise of the Republic of Venice, the custom of "marrying to the sea" also disappeared. At this time, the maritime hegemony had been transferred to the hands of the Netherlands and Britain.

  But in recent years, this ceremony has been resurrected, and the mayor replaced the "head of state" with the ring in the sea.

  It is said that there are fish near Burano Island in Venice. They will lure men and then drag them into the sea.

In the fairy tale, there is a little mermaid. She is very curious about human beings. So she climbed on the edge of a passing ship and peeked at the situation in the porthole. She saw a young man who was called him by the people on the ship. For the prince.

The sky suddenly changed and a violent storm came. In an instant, huge waves engulfed the ship. Most people on the ship climbed into a small lifeboat, but the prince fell into the water because of a head injury. The mermaid rescued the prince and fell in love with him at the same time. She hoped to have a pair of human legs, so she went to find the witch on the bottom of the sea.

The witch told her that she can help the little mermaid, but there is one condition. I hope that the mermaid can give her beautiful voice to the witch. When her tail becomes a foot, it will be as painful as a knife cut when she walks. Yes, if the prince marries someone else, she will become a bubble and die.

  The little mermaid agreed to her request and drank the potion, feeling very sad all over and fainted.

  When she woke up, she was rescued, and the one who saved her was the prince she thought about day and night.

  But the mermaid princess could not answer because she had already given her voice to the witch.

The prince took the mermaid princess back to the castle and put on her gorgeous clothes. The people in the castle praised the beauty of the mermaid princess very much, but the prince didn’t care because he fell in love with the princess of the neighboring country. She said it was her. Saved the life of the prince.

   "No! No! Prince, I saved you!" The mermaid princess shouted, but the prince still couldn't hear her.

The prince finally married the girl. On the boat returning home, the mermaid princess was crying sadly. At this time, the voice of the sisters came from the sea: "In order to save you, we go to the witch and exchange our hair for this The sword, you can use it to kill the prince, put the prince’s blood on your feet, and it will turn back into a mermaid."

  "You must have the courage to do it, otherwise you will die in a bubble tomorrow morning."

  The mermaid princess made up her mind and entered the prince's bedroom when he was asleep, but looking at the prince's peaceful face, she couldn't do anything.

  At dawn, the mermaid princess muttered to herself on the deck: "Prince! Goodbye." So the mermaid princess' body slowly turned into many colorful bubbles and flew into the depths of the pink clouds.

  No one said whether the wedding ceremony held by the governor was to make up for the shortcomings of the little mermaid. It was just a fairy tale, not to mention the mermaid was just a legend.

  However, the prince in the story is worthy of love. He did not give his loyalty to the person he saved because of the beauty of the little mermaid, but he did not recognize that the princess of the neighboring country was not his savior.

  Sometimes, women will do whatever they want to achieve their goals.

Perhaps after knowing the truth, the only thing the prince can do is to throw a wedding ring into the sea every year to pay homage to the daughter of the sea and give her a decent wedding, just like the governor. For this he built a gilded boat, and The ship was sunk to the bottom of the sea by a short Corsican.

  Lido Island is a slender island that traverses the southeast of Venice and is a well-known international health resort.

  There are many beaches on the island that are private, and there is also a government-run beach on the east side of the island, where the "wedding" is held.

  This sandy beach is one of the long chain of islands separating the Adriatic Sea and the lagoon. It can be said to be the natural breakwater and city walls of Venice.

Originally not developed, it gradually developed into a modern leisure center until the 19th century. The long sandy beach on the Adriatic Sea has become the focus of attracting tourists. The continuous construction of large hotels, nightclubs, casinos, and theaters embellish this place. Noisy and bustling; the Venice Film Festival is held here every year. It is the biggest summer event on Lido Island and attracts countless tourists; however, this situation is limited to summer. When the sightseeing season is off, even the individual photos on the island are not seen.

  Venice is the pride of all Italy, Venice is the heritage of all mankind, unique in the world.

  This is not a tourism slogan, but a fact. In the history of human civilization, there has never been a republic that has persisted for 1100 years, and no one will spend so much energy to build a flashy and beautiful city like sea foam.

In order to protect this world cultural heritage, the "Moses Project" has been launched since 2003. The project plans to install 78 sluices at the 3 entrances of the Venice Lagoon to separate the lagoon from the Adriatic Sea. Protect Venice from the threat of high tide of up to 3 meters and sea level rise of 60 cm in the next 100 years.

  The worst flood in half a century brought this city, known as the "Pearl of the Adriatic", on the verge of an abyss.

  In the biblical story, Moses was the prophet who separated the sea to save the people of Israel. And the Venetians who have been "doing nothing" are still waiting for their own "Moses".

  Facing the Venetian Lagoon are black gondolas. They shuttle across the river and the sea, as well as characteristic mansions, churches and monasteries with pointed roofs and colorful window lintels.

  The side facing the Adriatic Sea is thin golden sand, seagulls flying in the sea breeze, and clouds that turn pink in the sunset.

  However, none of this did not make her feel wonderful with the people who accompany her.

  It was not a pure kiss, but with a little lust, mixed with passion, and because of her full devotion, she found it difficult to resist.

  She lay down slowly, like a little mermaid, while the "half-blood prince" unbuttoned his black coat, revealing the white shirt inside.

  Shakespeare once said: Even fallen angels are luminous, and a good villain cannot hide his true colors no matter how disguised.

  Although his soul is not innocent, because he committed murder, it is not incurable.

  Just like the Governor of Venice made up for a wedding of the Little Mermaid, she felt that this person deserves a little reward for everything he has done.

  There is really that kind of foolish idiot in this world, who will desperate for love, "Anything" can give.

  Wisemensay, onlyfoolsrushin says that only fools can indulge in love.

  ButIcan\'thelp, fallinginlovewithyou But I can't help falling in love with you.

  ShallIstay, would it beasin if this is a crime, should I stop there?

  IfIcan\'thelp, fallinginlovewithyou If I can't help but fall in love with you.

  Likeariverflows, surelytothesea is like a hundred rivers returning to the sea, how natural.

  Darlingsoitgoes, somethingsaremeanttobe let you and I do whatever you want, if this love is destined.

  Takemyhand, takemywholelifetoo hold my hand, please take my whole life.

  ForIcan\'thelp, fallinginlovewithyou Because I can't help falling in love with you.

  "Is that why you brought me to Venice?" She asked him, her voice trembling unconsciously.

   "It's better than you thought, right?" He grinned proudly, "You thought I would run away? In your eyes, I'm still a coward?"

   "No... you are brave, Severus, but you are not the bravest person I have ever met."

   "Who is braver than me?" he asked grumpyly.

   "Courageous and brainless man, you have less courage and more wisdom than them."

  He was very emotional and smiled.

   "Good girl, worthy of reward." He said softly, "What posture do you want?"

   "Oh!" She screamed and punched him on the shoulder. Even if there were only two of them on the beach, it would be too embarrassing to ask.

  "I love you, princess." He suddenly turned into a sage, and said in a low voice, "We are finally happily living together."

   "Where is Lily?" she asked helplessly.

"She has always been in our hearts." He touched her heart and said, "I swear to God that day, I won't let the one I love leave me again, I won't let you die, I won't, I No..." He said more and more quietly, as if talking in a dream. "Today, I met a vampire. He told me that he was the Austrian soldier who was killed in the legend. His wife has become dead. , But he did not dare to die, because he was afraid that he would not see her after death, that would be hell, she shouldn't let him come alive, she shouldn't make a deal with the devil!"

   "The witch who made the deal, she cheated and deceived the **** of death with the invisible cloak." Pomona said.

"No, that's a lie, she is the witch, no, at all, the third person has appeared." Severus said word by word, "I don't want to live like him, he is a living dead, you still remember the legend Are Muggles who fall in love with wizards will be very loyal to them. He wants to die and dare not die. He is alive and suffers. He asks me to help him, but I don’t know what to do. I don’t know if I am dead or alive. , Even if you came out of my delusion, no one can be as perfect as you..."

   "I'm not perfect, Severus, look." She took off her top and showed her chest. "I'm not full at all."

   "Pink." He stared at her and said, "I like this color."

   "You lied." She hugged the man who bit her neck and said vaguely, "You obviously hate pink."

  He seems to have no time to talk to her.

   "On Valentine's Day, Lockhart decorated the entire auditorium in pink. Your expression at that time...ah!"

  He slightly punished her and told her to shut up, and then continued to enjoy his newly married wife.

  How can there be so many stupid men in this world who think that games are more fun than women, so focus on that?

  Venetian's works are bold and unrestrained, focus on sensory enjoyment, skillfully use color, and absorb the essence of the heyday of the Renaissance, including the magnificence of Byzantium and the exquisite beauty of Arabia.

  The paintings hanging in the church are all tributes. Napoleon’s taking away the wedding in Ghana is tantamount to offending her. No wonder he, as the emperor, some people dared to sleep with his queen.

  If men are really afraid of him, no one dares to do that, unless he is mad or cursed by Eros, the queen dare to touch him, for fear that it will be too long.
