Harry Potter Morning Light

"Let's create chaos!"

Peeves yelled in the kitchen, throwing food all over the place.

House-elves and members of the Gourmet Club hide behind various "bunkers" to avoid accidental injury.

The situation in the kitchen has actually happened before, but basically it was only after someone or a ghost made Peeves angry. He usually doesn't go to the kitchen to play pranks.

Pomona heard that the dementors in Azkaban can also grab things, and the prisoners' food is given by them, which means that they have similarities with Peeves.

At this moment, Peeves suddenly sensed something, and concentrated the "firepower" on the door, and Pomona and the house-elves hid behind the door.

"What shall we do? Call the Bloody Baron?" the house-elf asked Pomona.

"Wait a minute," Pomona said, thinking.

There are many legends about Peeves. Some people say that he is a "noisy elf" who was created together with the house, and some people say that he was once a human being, and he came back to inform the news after fighting the giant war, but no one believed him. Died in full view, then became a ghost, then became what he is now.

Peeves is annoying, but his pranks are still for fun, and his expression just now is very grim.

Even though the "infection" was still under control, it still had an impact on the castle, and it couldn't be ignored just because it didn't look serious.

The key to the problem now is not how to deal with Peeves, but to find the thing that is causing trouble in the castle. What is it?

"By the way, ghost." Pomona said, although ghosts can't touch things, it might be different after being affected by that black magic item.

So she left the messy kitchen and went into the foyer to find Nearly Headless Nick.

"Hi, Nick," Pomona said.

"Oh, hello, Professor." Nick said politely, "Is there anything I can help you with?"

"Have you noticed a ghost lately that has suddenly become weird," Pomona said.

"Sorry, I don't understand what you mean?" Nick said.

Pomona couldn't describe what "weird" was.

"Is this related to the strange things that happened at school recently?" Nick asked. "Even the ghost feels that the atmosphere is not right."

"I can't tell you much, it's my guesswork," Pomona said.

"I'll keep an eye out." Nick said solemnly, "The ghost is also a member of this castle."

"You have to be careful, that mysterious power may also have an effect on ghosts." Pomona said.

"Don't worry, I will," Nick said coolly, and floated away.

Then Pomona went upstairs.

Isidora once mentioned that she would use some means to preserve her magic, and Pomona was going to ask Sen Batar if he knew about it, and maybe he could find some clues.

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

The 15th century was an eventful century, with the end of the Hundred Years War between England and France at the beginning of the century, and at the end of the century in 1493, the "discovery" of the New World created other disputes. Due to Portugal's active performance in the Forte War, it was deeply appreciated by the Pope and the Church. Therefore, in 1454, Pope Nicholas V issued an imperial edict, recognizing the sovereignty of the Portuguese in discovering and occupying territories in Africa. Ghana All the islands to the south of the Pele Islands are owned by Portugal and no one may infringe them.

Portugal has a small land area, and developing overseas has become one of the ways to survive. Long before Columbus, there were other explorers who traveled east along the coastline of Africa, hoping to find a way to India without going through Turkey. routes of human territory. During this period, the Portuguese accumulated rich sailing skills, and Columbus, a Genoese, also learned how to become a captain here.

There is another way, that is to marry. Queen Isabella of Spain was once the princess of Castile. She had two choices at that time, one was to marry Alfonso V of Portugal, and the other was to marry Alfonso V. Ferdinand of Tribute. Her father preferred Alfonso V, and Isabella fell in love with Ferdinand of Aragon. Her father was very annoyed when he found out, but Isabella insisted on going her own way and married Ferdinand of Aragon. South.

This marriage merged the territories of Castile and Aragon, but the King of Castile was not satisfied with his daughter's choice. He abolished Isabella's inheritance rights and made his second daughter Juana the heir to the throne. And let it conclude a marriage contract with Alfonso V of Portugal.

This decision led to the War of the Castilian Succession in 1475, which resulted in the victory of Isabella and Ferdinand, the loss of Juana's succession and the dissolution of the marriage contract of Alfonso V, among other things. In 1479, the Treaty of Acaçaoise was signed, which established in writing that the land south of the Canary Islands was owned by Portugal.

In 1493, when Columbus was on his way back to Europe from the New World, his route deviated from his original target Spain due to a storm. Due to damage to the ship and lack of supplies, it had to dock in the Azores, which belongs to Portugal.

The island is located on the south side of the north-south dividing line. At that time, the Portuguese on the island thought that Columbus had gone to Africa and did something harmful to Portugal's interests, so they imprisoned him and his crew.

João II of Portugal, whom Columbus first visited before his trip, was called the "perfect monarch" by Machiavelli. Compared with the conditions obtained by the discovery of the New World, which Columbus opened like a lion, his estimated sailing route made the mathematicians of the Portuguese court think it was a fraud. Columbus deliberately miscalculated the diameter and circumference of the earth. , in order to shorten the distance from Europe to the west to Asia, and deceive the Portuguese into investing in Columbus's venture.

No matter how the folks think the earth is flat, many scholars in the court still think that the earth is round. Later, Columbus found the twin kings of Catilla and Aragon, and they did not receive state funding. Queen Isabella Columbus funded with his own money.

Since Portuguese officials in the Azores found no African cargo on board Columbus' ship, and there were no important people in the party, they were let go. However, when he set sail for the second time, Columbus encountered a big storm again. This time he still could not reach Spain smoothly, but landed in Lisbon, Portugal on March 5.

Columbus expected that Joao II would be very annoyed, so he wrote to the Spanish kings for help. At this time, the Portuguese boarded the ship, but they were not soldiers, but Dias, who was also a navigator.

When Dias discovered the Cape of Good Hope, Joao II did not reward him, but Joao II was not a "stingy" person. All in all, Columbus was treated with courtesy and invited to the court.

According to the records on the sea chart, the land discovered by Columbus happened to belong to the latitude south of the Canary Islands. According to the treaty, it belonged to the territory of Portugal and not to the Kingdom of Castile.

After receiving the letter from Columbus, Spain had hesitated once. If Columbus died, then Spain would not need to pay Columbus. But Finance Minister Sanchez pointed out that if Columbus died, no one could prove that he sailed under the orders of the King of Spain, and the new lands Columbus discovered would be taken by Portugal.

To prove that the voyage was financed by Spain, Columbus's letter was printed in large numbers, copies of which can be seen all over Barcelona.

It circulated at breakneck speed, appeared on the table of the Medici family in late March, and was seen by the Pope on April 18. On August 10, 1482, the Pope of Rome changed from Innocent VIII to Alexander VI, the pope of the famous Pozzia family. Favorable arbitration, and then there was the Papal Meridian incident in May.

At this time, because of the Naples issue, King Charles VIII of France assembled his troops and planned to go south to Italy. Rome needed the support of Spain, but it was the Pope who set the line.

Alexander VI was not without enemies within the Church, even though it was rumored that he would use Cantrella to destroy them. So could the poison that killed Simonita and his family be Cantrera? In 1487, Borgia had already "differed" from the Medici in Florence, and that year coincided with the completion of "The Birth of Venus".

Pomona raised his head and looked out the window at the warehouse, where the old bat was tinkering with his chemical equipment again in the dark house.

She pouted, are those things so interesting?

So she put down her pen and materials, and tiptoed over.

"Trick or treat if you don't give sugar", she is going to be a "trick or treater" now.
