Harry Potter’s Morning Light

  Chapter 2910 Water and Dreams (13)

  If ordinary people fall into the water, most of them will choose to struggle, but in Hamlet, Ophelia in the queen's mouth chooses another way.

Beside the brook, where a willow grew obliquely, its branches and leaves reflected in the mirror-like stream, she came there weaving strange garlands out of buttercups, nettles, daisies, and The giraffe, she climbed a pendulous branch, and was trying to hang her corolla on it, when a malicious branch snapped, and she fell with her flowers into the weeping brook . Her clothes spread out, temporarily floating her like a mermaid. She was still singing ancient songs intermittently, as if she didn't feel the danger of her situation at all, and it seemed that she was born in the water. But after a while her clothes were heavy with the water, and the poor creature sank in the water before she had finished singing.

  Pomona felt like she was swimming in the water. She didn't use the head-foaming spell, but she wasn't worried that she couldn't breathe. It's just that what she saw was not the ruins at the bottom of the black lake, but sunken ships.

  The waves above her head seemed to be very rough, and even the water was affected. When she moved forward, she encountered a lot of resistance, but she still swam there. Just through the porthole, she didn't see the prince in the cabin, a little girl was carrying a baby to the next room.

   We hear about the grandfather paradox all the time, what happens if you kill your grandfather. But if the direction is changed, what if the future descendants travel to the past and save the grandfather?

   Before she could think about it, several people jumped into the water. They struggled on the surface of the water to prevent themselves from sinking to the bottom.

   Then there were more and more of these people, many of whom were women wearing skirts. They were like Ophelia, because their clothes were soaked in water and they sank into the water before they could finish calling for help.

  She felt very sad, but she didn't go to rescue them, but searched among the crowd, and soon found a small figure, which was wrapped in a white cloth, and was slowly sinking.

  But before she could swim to catch it, another woman swam towards him with all her strength and grabbed the little baby.

  She was carrying a suitcase in her hand. She emptied the contents of the suitcase and put the baby in. With the help of the buoyancy of the water, the baby and the suitcase floated up together, while the woman slowly sank to the bottom of the water.

  She looked very peaceful, as if she had a lot to say to the child, but she only spit out a few bubbles, and left with nostalgia.

  Pomona touched her ears. The little girl she saw just now wore earrings, but she stopped wearing them when she grew up.

Then she floated to the surface of the water with the suitcase, the sky was clear, there was a small boat driven by a mixture of steam and sailboats not far away, and a rowboat was closer, and an old man lifted the suitcase from the water After opening the box, he didn't find the treasure he expected, but a baby who was sleeping soundly.

  The next scene was like a flash, the boy became a sailor as many children expected, and traveled around with the "captain", seeing a lot of things, meeting a lot of people, and even a wizard.

  The "wizard" told the "captain" that this child is special and he should not stay on the ship.

The waves swayed and swayed, shattering the fleeting images. The boy grew into a teenager. He came to a simple house. There was an oil lamp beside the bed that seemed to be extinguished at any time. Out of shape.

  What kind of sailor would die like this, let alone a "captain"? Then the oil lamp seemed to be blown out by the wind, and the house fell into darkness.

  Pomona sank into the water, and when she emerged from the water again, the boy was holding a beautiful woman in his arms, accepting blessings from his relatives and friends.

  She was too beautiful to be human. Then a black cloud descended, resembling the black silk Grindelwald used to summon his subordinates.

  The scene of happiness disappears, and the young man appears in the ice and snow, the snow is blackened by gunpowder smoke, and there are discarded tanks everywhere.

  Some people call Russia's winter "General Winter". Many wizards attacked men under the cover of German tanks. This is just an insignificant corner of the huge battlefield.

  She felt cold, whether it was the cold wind of Siberia or the sea water of the Atlantic Ocean, she soon felt that she was wrapped in a warm blanket, and a burning fireplace appeared in front of her eyes.

   There is a woman sitting next to her. Even though she is haggard, she is still beautiful. Her hands are shaking constantly. She picks up the wine bottle and drinks it like water.

Before the tsar was overthrown, Russia still had an ambassador in the United States. Although the prohibition on alcohol had not been officially promulgated at that time, the White House had already "dried up" first, which made the Russian ambassador have to bring his own wine to the White House dinner. For Russians Wine is like water.

  After the February Revolution ended, Russia fell into civil war, and the country also imposed a prohibition on alcohol, and there was not enough vodka for itself.

  Whiskey is also a kind of spirit, but the colonies have always delivered products to the UK. When did the UK deliver goods to meet the needs of the colonies?

  However, this kind of pride had to make "concessions" when the shipping continued to slump due to the prohibition of alcohol. British ship owners shipped whiskey to the Bahamas, and then the Bahamas shipped the wine to the United States.

  At that time, Panama was an American concession, and its most valuable thing was the Panama Canal. But the British also have an island in the Bahamas, and the rum produced on the island is very popular among Americans.

The U.S. Coast Guard with upgraded equipment is still able to catch these bootleg boats in motorboats. The law enforcement power of three nautical miles is stipulated in the "Territorial Waters Act" enacted by the United Kingdom in 1878. The United States requires that it be changed to 12 nautical miles. The old order was challenged, and due to reduced shipping, the British Bahamas paid less tax to the United Kingdom, so the British and the United States disputed the issue of territorial waters.

  According to the provisions of international law, ships are also part of the territory, so the United States promulgated a bill in October 1922, prohibiting all American ships from selling alcohol, and also prohibiting foreign ships from selling alcohol in the territorial waters of the United States.

   This caused dissatisfaction among ship owners at home and abroad. After receiving numerous protests, the Supreme Court changed it to ban the sale of alcohol on American ships within 3 nautical miles. The Department of Justice has the right to prohibit all foreign ships from carrying alcohol into the territorial waters of the United States.

  Most countries chose to abide by it. Only the British ship owners were dissatisfied with this regulation. They asked the British government to be "tough" with the United States, and raised money to buy a cargo, which was undisguised and sailed to the United States.

Finally, U.S. Secretary of State Hughes signed a new international law with the United Kingdom. Three nautical miles are not inviolable. It has become the 1-hour voyage distance of the ship involved in the law enforcement range of the U.S. Coast Guard. British packaged alcohol is also allowed into territorial waters as long as they are not caught.

   etc. Britain and the United States signed the "Prohibition Treaty", and the United States signed treaties with other countries.

  Canada and the United States have adjacent seas and land, but no matter how "invisible" the national boundary is, it still exists, and it cannot be erased like an eraser, and then the two countries will implement a law.

Assuming this, a truck transporting beer rolls over on the road, and instead of going to rescue the driver, passers-by remove all the alcohol from the truck. principled. Everyone wants to wear black tie and go to exclusive parties like a gentleman, right?

  Where there is territory on the sea, there is territory on land. The embassy belongs to the territory of the country where it is located. For example, the Belgian embassy where Hoover often goes, there is no prohibition on alcohol.

If it’s just for drinking, you can go to other embassies, but Hoover has a special friendship with Belgium. During Belgium’s occupation by Germany, he helped 120,000 trapped Americans return to the United States, and then provided supplies to Belgium. After the U.S. entered World War I, Hoover became head of the Food Administration, supplying food supplies to allies as well as his own troops.

  Before World War II, Europe was facing severe food problems. In 1923, a loaf of bread was 200,000 marks, and one dollar could be exchanged for 650 million marks. In 1921, a loaf of bread was only 20 marks.

  Einstein's general theory of relativity was demonstrated by observing whether the light of stars was bent by space-time during the solar eclipse on May 29, 1919. Before that, no one believed Einstein's theory.

Friedrich agreed, but three weeks before his departure, the Archduke of Austria was assassinated. Since Crimea was in opposition to Germany, Frederick was detained for a whole month. The soldiers suspected that he was carrying a telescope. Enemy spies.

  If the flower in the mirror and the moon in the water are illusions, is the sun in the water real?

   After all, human eyes cannot look directly at the sun, it is too dazzling, and human beings need to wear glasses or observe through the reflection in the water.

  She turned her head and looked at the drunk woman again. She looked a bit like herself.

  Isidora is actually not difficult to understand. It is much better to avoid pain than to immerse in pain, and you can do some "meaningful things".

  She looked at the sun in the sky again. In fact, she remembered that she was not in the bedroom in the castle before falling asleep. There was a smell of pesticides there, so she came to the preparation room of the greenhouse.

  There is no moonlight in the sky, because the new moon is approaching.

   It’s pitch black and you can’t see anything. You need light to see the magnificent nebula.

  She dived into the water again.

   Ravenclaw Tower is so close to the sky, the name Celestial Ball fits them well.

  Slytherin is located at the bottom of the Black Lake, and the singing of the mermaid can be heard from time to time.

  Can taking this name beat the Celestial Ball?

   She swam, didn't she say that drinking the potion of dreamless sleep can prevent dreams? Why is she still dreaming?
