Harry Potter’s Morning Light

Chapter 3054 adamas (seven)

After the failure of the First Punic War, the treaty signed between the Carthaginians and the Romans did not stipulate the demarcation scope. So 38 years after the end of the war, Rome sent representatives to negotiate with Carthage and re-sign the treaty. The Thagian army was not allowed to cross north of the Ebro River, and Rome recognized Carthage's rights south of the river.

When Henry IV issued a charter to Oxford University, he also stipulated the scope of the president's authority, extending from Bartholomew Almshouse in the east, to the town of Botley in the west, to Godestow Bridge in the north, and to Bagley Forest in the south. .

 In this area, when conflicts arise between citizens and students, whether they are criminal or civil cases, they are tried by the principal's court.

There used to be a monastery in this area. One day, three monks had an argument. Then that night, one of the monks crawled through the atrium of the monastery dormitory and killed the other. When the other monks woke up and found the body They couldn't help but panic, but they did not notify any secular organization or the church, but decided to bury the person quietly. However, due to poor hiding techniques, the body was soon discovered by the abbot. At that time, the monks had already had many conflicts with the citizens. For fear of causing bad emotions among the people, the abbot decided to investigate on his own.

  In addition to causing a large number of deaths and a lack of labor force, the Black Death also brought serious violence and emotional problems.

When Isaac Newton was studying at Cambridge University, the university closed down to prevent the Great Plague from harming Cambridge scholars. For the next two years, Newton continued to study gravitation, optics, and calculus at home.

  Oxford University also responded in the same way at that time. The difference was that the purpose of evacuating students and teachers was not "prevention". Nearly a quarter of teachers and students had died, although their mortality rate was much lower than that of urban clergy.

 In order to reduce the damage caused by the plague, scholars could not only go home, but also go abroad for study. In addition, they could also take away some "special privileges", which aroused the jealousy of Oxford citizens.

  Excessive personnel refer to the attendants and merchants who provide services to the university, including sheepskin craftsmen, book binders, scribes, manuscript illuminators, bell ringers, barbers, messengers, cooks, and even porters.

 The 1388 Act stipulates that servants or hired workers are not allowed to leave their households at will, unless there is a secret letter from the queen and the review of the magistrate is required. "Exclusive persons" were not restricted by this layer of law and could leave Oxford, where the plague was spreading.

Monks were not allowed to leave, although in some places clergy were allowed to leave. Three monks had a dispute over this matter, and then a murder occurred.

Although this matter fell under the jurisdiction of the principal, the murderer and the person killed were both from the church school. The person who buried the body "thought" that it would be over by throwing the body into the pit behind the church where the Black Death victims were buried. .

A person disappeared inexplicably, especially since he had been involved in a fierce argument the day before. The dean searched everywhere for several days. When he finally found the person, the gravediggers had just buried a thin layer of soil, and it was easy to see The monk at the top of the layers of corpses.

The murderer was imprisoned in the episcopal prison, and the monk who had taken part in the quarrel was imprisoned as an accessory, but within a year they were released, for they obtained a pardon from the king.

Henry IV was cruel to the rebels. A rebellion broke out among the nobles three months after he took the throne. Henry IV not only beheaded the leaders, but also chopped their bodies into sacks and took them back to London.

Although there were no clear "boundaries" in Oxford University City, the king's order made this borderless place demarcated until 1860.

Hair can still grow back after being shaved. Students, teachers and even "privileged persons" relied on the privilege to commit crimes continuously. In view of this situation, Henry VII changed the privilege to "first time", that is, the first offense can go to the Deacon's Court. To "purify" the criminals in the church court, letters were engraved on the criminal's left thumb, from m to t, to distinguish them.

By 1860, the criminal information recording system was established. Even if the principal did not expel or expel the principal, there was still a "record" available for searching.

　　When Pomona approached the greenhouse, she found someone poking his head outside the greenhouse. At first she thought it was someone from the school, until he turned his face towards her.

He has thick hair, the color of which cannot be seen clearly in the moonlight, a pair of sharp eyes hidden behind golden eyes, and a cane in his hand, which does not look like the decoration in Malfoy's hand.

 “What do you want, sir?” Pomona asked the stranger.

"I heard you have some good poisonous tentacle leaves here, professor, can I have a look?" The stranger limped toward Pomona on crutches.

 “Who are you?” Pomona asked.

“You don’t know who I am?” The stranger looked at Pomona in surprise, then looked behind her. “Do you know who I am?”

 Severus Snape walked up to him slowly.

"I thought Aurors were not allowed on school grounds, Stringer, even if you were the Head of Auror Office," Snape said slowly.

"I am now the invigilator." Stringer looked at Snape and said easily, "The principal allows me to enter the school."

 Snape looked at Stringer, his teeth itching with hatred.

Pomona didn’t want to get involved, but…

 “I don’t sell contraband.” Pomona looked at Stringer and whispered.

Stringer turned his attention to Pomona.

"But I heard it's available in a hotel in Hogsmeade," said Stringer.

"Look, that's a big forest. It probably grew naturally and was collected by passers-by. How can you say it was provided by me?" Pomona waved his hand and pointed to the Forbidden Forest not far away. explain.

"Speaking of this, how do you know that the 'dangerous creature' is the moose? Professors." Stringer did not look back at all, but looked at the two of them and asked.

 “I wonder what you mean?” Snape said glibly.

“What do you think of that legend?” Stringer asked.

 “What legend?” Pomona asked subconsciously.

 “Tsk.” Snape suddenly glared at her impatiently, and Pomona stepped aside.

 Snape then looked at Stringer.

"There are many legends in this world, Director, but I think most of them are not true." Snape curled the corners of his mouth and said "with a smile".

“You think that because the animal is not registered, it has nothing to do with the school?” Stringer sneered, “Not all animals in that forest have been registered.”

Pomona pouted on the side.

  The formal dog-raising procedure requires the dog owner to take the dog to the relevant department to fill in relevant information and then obtain a dog-raising license. This does not mean providing it with a kennel and dog food.

 There will be a tag around the neck of a dog with an owner that records the owner's information. This is usually given by the owner to prevent the dog from getting lost. People who find the dog will contact them, so there is no need to post dog-finding notices everywhere. If it bites a person or someone else's livestock, the person who was bitten or the person who suffered financial losses will contact the owner, or go to the relevant department based on the information on the dog tag to ask for compensation from the owner.

If a stray dog ​​bites a person, the bitten person will notify the animal management agency to kill it, or the people from the shelter will patrol the streets and bring the stray animals back to the center. If no one adopts them after a period of time...

"Those animals are in a natural state and are not within our property. Besides, the Forbidden Forest is not the school's territory." Snape said calmly, "The poachers stole animals that were registered and protected by the school. The school uses the forest." The resources in it are stocked, and the mom classification is based on untamable standards..."

"There is still danger." Stringer continued. "You are talking about the situation where people capture animals and they are free again, but they are still within the scope of your property!"

"Am I responsible for every Billywig that bites you?" Snape threatened.

"We are talking about pets, whether they are wanted or the ones in legend." Stringer said without giving in. "'It' has not been registered, but it is not in the forest."

 Snape was still debating with Stringer, and Pomona's eyes had drifted into the distance.

 The ghosts are playing a game in Hagrid's pumpkin patch, as if whose head is hidden in the pumpkin, and then the participating "people" are looking for it in the field. Just like human children on summer vacation do in the cemetery, if you have to bring something back to prove your courage, the "coward" will be laughed at by his peers.

 She stood there watching the ghosts play for a while, then realized that Snape and Stringer were focused on arguing, so she left cautiously.

 After returning to the greenhouse, she yawned. It was dark and ghosts had come out. Why didn't she sleep?

But before going to bed, she wanted to take a bath first. At this time, she missed the Pompeian-style bathroom in the castle. There was water in the greenhouse, but it was not as comfortable as a hot bath with fragrant bubbles.
