Harry Potter’s Morning Light

  Chapter 3039 hueandcry (4)

   "Lily, come on!" screamed the older girl.

  But the little girl let go of her hands and flew into the air when the swing reached the highest point. She was really flying, laughing and jumping into the sky. Instead of falling **** the asphalt of the playground, she glides through the air like an acrobat, stays there for a long time, and finally lands very lightly on the ground.

   "Mom told you not to do this!"

  The big girl let the heels of her shoes scrape to stop the swing with a screeching sound, and then she jumped up again, her hands on her hips. "Mom told you not to do this, Lily!"

   "But I'm fine," Lily said, still giggling, "Petunia, look at this. See what I do."

  Petunia looked around, there were only the two of them in the empty playground, and then Lily picked up a dead flower from a bush. Petunia came up, looking curious and dissatisfied, and conflicted in her heart. Lily waited until Petunia got closer enough to see it, and then she spread her hand, and the petals kept opening and closing in her palm, like some kind of weird, multi-layered oyster.

   "Come on!" Petunia screamed.

   "I didn't do anything to you," Lily said, but she still crumpled the flowers and threw them on the ground.

   Lily also demonstrated the same thing in front of Pomona. Of course, she did not swing on a swing, but let Xiaohua open and close in her hands. She is past the age of being interested in swings, not to mention she has seen broomsticks.

   Pomona sipped her oatmeal and watched Elena Duncan, who was having breakfast at Hufflepuff's table, looking sullen and not as active as Tonks next to her.

  Riding a broom to a wizard is a bit like a Muggle kid riding a bicycle, and those who can't ride will be laughed at by their peers in the community. Wizarding children have been practicing since they were young, while Muggleborns like Irina didn't come into contact with it until they came to the wizarding world.

  But even among the same Muggle seed, her progress is considered slow. Of course, wizards have other ways to travel, but well...

  Pomona's gaze turned to Joy, who was discussing the Quidditch World Cup with Tonks.

   Lily actually has a talent for "flying", but she didn't join the Gryffindor Quidditch team like Joey did.

  Gryffindor's warriors are gender-neutral. There are many reasons why Lily didn't join the team, but the most important thing is that she devoted her energy to her studies.

   On the one hand, it is because of the influence of Snape, who loves to read, and because of Mrs. Evans, who taught Petunia to be a very qualified housewife, and encouraged Petunia to give Lily Barbie dolls to make up for the relationship between the two sisters.

  Actually, she can also deliver footballs, but what girl would run after a ball covered in mud?

  Pomona took a bite of the sausage, and the juice in his mouth was a bit greasy. People who pay attention to their figure would never touch it.

  Because I have fear, I will not engage in it.

   Then Snape was given the opportunity to perform in front of Lily on a broom, even though he had no talent for riding a broom.

   Lily didn't understand Snape's mood at all, she was baffled the whole time, wondering what Snape was doing? If only Snape knew that Lily rode a broom better than he...

  Pomona resisted the urge to roll her eyes. She is now in the teacher's seat, and I don't know how many people in the audience will notice her.

  Growing up, the biggest trouble she got into was writing a petition with Lily to set the house-elves free, although it didn't make any waves. Wizarding families don’t recruit servants like Muggles. House elves are enough. At the same time, they also master many secrets of wizarding families. Because they are bound by magical contracts, not only can they not reveal the secrets, but they can’t tell them behind the scenes like servants. Bad words from the master.

  Pomona couldn't talk to Sinista about everything, at least she couldn't speak ill of Dumbledore with Sinista, not because she was afraid that Sinista would sue Dumbledore, but because Sinista couldn't understand.

  Many people regard Minerva as Dumbledore's "loyal minister", but Minerva is not obedient to Dumbledore. The last time they went drinking together, she and Dumbledore had a disagreement over Harry.

  Anyway, Dumbledore is not a "perfect man", nor is he the kind and kind grandfather that ordinary people see. He can make up his mind to let Harry grow up in such an environment and prepare for future wars.

   And Pomona actually accepted the new "interpretation" he said about the ugly duckling.

In children's bedtime books, the ugly duckling is expelled and chased by the animals on the farm, and even the mother hen who hatched it let it leave the farm and live in other places. They are actually like the characters in the play, not Knowing their respective fates, the reader of the story knows what a swan looks like, and understands that everything the ugly duckling has experienced is temporary, and that sooner or later it will transform, instead of becoming a roast chicken on the master's table like the mother hen.

  A knight's servant stole a chicken from Vilan, but the chicken was eaten by Sir's dog.

   The servant stole the chicken, but he didn’t eat the chicken legs. Sir’s dog ate the chicken, but he didn’t steal the chicken, and both the dog and the servant served Sir.

   Sir "discipline is ineffective", it seems that he should be responsible for compensating Weilan. Just like the parents did not teach the child well, he became a criminal, and the parents are also responsible.

However, the judgment at that time was that the servant compensated Vilan for the loss. According to the statement in the first letter of Peter: I advise those of you who are elders with me to shepherd the flock among you and take care of them according to the will of God. Compulsion, but voluntary, not for money, but willingly, not lording over those entrusted to you, but being examples to the flock.

   That is to say, a servant can follow an example, or be tempted by the devil. Not because of the fault of the "model", but the fault of the servant himself. The sinner is responsible for his actions because they are the product of his free will.

   At that time, many people believed that the existence of free will was the origin of "evil" in the world, but there were also St. Augustine who believed that doing good also required free will.

  In ancient Rome, customary law was also used. Because the power of interpretation was in the hands of noble judges, the common people felt that it was unfair. In order to protest, they left Rome collectively. Then the nobles established the Twelve Tables Law in order to restore them.

Ancient Athens also had statute laws. According to Aristotle’s records in "The Political System of Athens", the laws of Athens were recorded on a sign, and the sign was erected in the colonnade of Basiles. All citizens of Athens must write the statute swearing to abide by the law.

  The church also has canon law, of course. In 1532, the British Parliament threatened the "crime of contempt of kingship", and the priests accepted the execution power of the monarchy's religious legislation, and handed over the existing religious law to the royal family for review.

The pope once only had the "right of excommunication". In theory, the king and emperor who were "excommunicated" were deprived of the right to rule. Duty of loyalty to the monarch.

   But like an old European fable, should a soldier listen to what the king, the bishop or the rich merchant say?

   "Excommunication" can be suspended, as long as the excommunicated person repents, so that the vassals have to fulfill the obligation of loyalty again. Had he committed treason at that time, would the king have forgiven him?

  So the effect of "excommunication" is getting worse and worse, and the Pope's prestige has also been affected, and then there is the Spanish Inquisition.

In the first few years of the establishment of the Inquisition, it was true that many people were burned to death, but this also caused other problems. Pope Sixtus IV ordered two more presidents and the chief judge of the Spanish Inquisition to be sent. Holding power together, these two people did not have the expected effect.

  By 1530, the process of the Spanish Inquisition changed. They were only responsible for the trial, and then handed over the verdict to the secular court, who were responsible for the execution.

  The death penalty is not necessarily burning. Hanging was used in the Salem witch trials. At that time, they were judged by secular courts.

   Then did the English church court in 1532 still have the power to execute prisoners?

The early canon law was organized by papal decrees. The successive popes successively issued a "huge" number of provisions through legislative activities and major religious conferences, and each time a pope changed, they had to rearrange them. Not only did the old and new laws differ greatly , and it is very troublesome to find it every time.

  Ecclesiastical courts do not need to build magnificent courts, they only need to be held in the square at the entrance of the church. First, the place is large enough, and second, the church can serve as a witness. Everything that happens here is fair.

  Everyone gathers firewood, the flames are high, and the number of people makes it easier to work, and the stake is quickly erected.

  In ancient Greece, there was a "shell exile law". As long as there are enough shells with the name of the exiled person written, the person will be exiled.

  Cain was also exiled for killing his brother.

   Someone once said: There is only one evil in this world, and that is ignorance.

  If he could survive, Pomona would like to ask him, which is more serious, the evil caused by ignorance or the evil committed by knowing?

  In the fairy tale, the second son who got the resurrection stone wanted to resurrect his beloved girl, and she actually wanted to resurrect a person he had never met.

  She smiled, and turned her gaze to the bread on the table.

   In fact, with magic, at least you don’t have to worry about food. Although magic can’t make food, at least wizards don’t have to rely on the weather like Muggles.

   Unfortunately, in this day and age, not everyone agrees that food can bring happiness.

  Pomona picked up the toasted browned bread and ate it, and took another sip of the oatmeal. At this moment, she forgot about her waistline problem.

   She wants to feel happy, like the girl who floated down the swing as light as a feather.
