Chapter 2636 Wind and Flowers (15)

There is a potion ingredient called bloodroot, which comes from North America and is one of the ingredients for beautiful potions in Europe.

It itself is poisonous and cannot be taken internally. It can only be used externally. Proper use can be used to remove warts on the skin. However, excessive use can damage the skin. It can be purchased at Mrs. Primpetil's Beauty Potion Shop in Diagon Alley.

, her beauty potion can not only remove warts, but also freckles and acne problems.

This medicinal material is not as rare as rem oxblood, and can be found everywhere in North America. It will bloom a white flower from mid-summer to late summer. After pollination, the double petals of the flower will fall off, and the plant will enter a dormant state.

.It has a well-developed root system, and after years of growth it will form a large root mass. Probably in autumn, when its rhizomes are picked, a red sap similar to blood will flow out. The aboriginal people of North America will use it as a dye, so

It is also known as Indian red. In addition, before the warriors set off, the tribe's shaman or themselves would apply this red paint on their bodies as a blessing.

The Appalachian Mountains are the collective name for many mountain ranges in eastern North America. The first colonists to arrive in North America settled east of the mountains. At that time, it was the territory of the Wapanon and Narragans. After the establishment of Ifamoni College,

They were joined by two Naragan boys and a Wapanon mother and daughter, hoping to exchange their magic for the wand's technology.

In fact, bloodroot has other uses. Like ayahuasca, it will be used in certain ceremonies. When the colonists first arrived in the New World, facing this barbaric wilderness, it was the aborigines who taught them how to survive. They even

Food was also brought and banquets were held with guests from afar. Reciprocity in the form of gift exchanges was a familiar basis for military and political alliances. Europeans brought cooking utensils, guns and

The aborigines actually like clothes very much. The aborigines are not monolithic and have conflicts with each other. Allying with the colonists can achieve necessary political goals. However, the economic independence of the Americans determined the fate of the aborigines. In the early 19th century, due to British industry

Due to the revolution's demand for cotton, the earliest developed areas were limited to canals from the inland to the Atlantic Ocean. It was not until the start of the gold rush and the construction of railroads across North America that the "westward migration" of Aboriginal people began.

The refusal to relocate was the determination of the indigenous people to stick to their land and way of life, but President Jackson undoubtedly believed that the interests of the United States of America were higher than tribal sovereignty. Missionaries and government officials at the time used the same, fixed standards to speculate on the American original.

Although they did not have any anthropological knowledge west of the Appalachian Mountains to support their hypothesis, they still did not believe that the North American natives could cultivate land and only live a fishing and hunting life. Therefore, many colonists believed that every time they killed an American bison

It's like one less "Indian".

In short, the American bison and the Rem cattle that lived with the bison were extinct, and only some anatomical specimens were left at Ifamoni College.

There are also some aborigines who chose to submit and brought civilization and salvation to the tribe through public welfare departments. They adjusted and adapted to the new form of agriculture, became wealthy, and became a "mirror image" of the Americans. The leader's leadership ability within the tribe

The recognition has changed from a war leader to a "diplomat". The ability to obtain a sovereign status recognized by the United States and negotiate with the Americans is an essential element of the leader.

However, conflicts within the tribe have intensified. Aboriginal women are the main agricultural producers. They grow corn, beans and pumpkins, and men are responsible for hunting. However, Jeffersonian agriculture requires men to be farmers and women to be housewives. Some tribal elders believe that

Doing so will seriously destroy the balance between the sexes and transform reciprocity between the sexes into self-protection.

Pomona was very satisfied with the cooperative relationship with Severus when dealing with the Chamber of Secrets incident, but that did not mean that she was satisfied with his current attitude.

If in the past, Severus had told Cedric about the opportunity to arrange an internship with the Minister of Magic, Pomona might not have believed it, but now with his relationship with Lucius Malfoy, he arranged for an intern and

It's not a difficult thing.

So after waiting in a deserted place, as soon as he let go, Pomona took out her wand and pointed it at him.

"What do you want to do?" he said solemnly.

"This is a question I asked you." She said coldly.

He looked like he was coming out of some rage.

"Have you practiced black magic?" Pomona asked. She knew that some black magic requires extreme emotions, which cannot be adjusted in a short time.

He didn't answer.

"Albus asks you to calm down, you..."

"I'm fine!" He suddenly yelled at her.

At this time, she remembered what the yoga master said: Life can be poisoned, just because of a wrong thought or a wrong emotion, or a wrong outlook on life for you.

Severus said something he shouldn't have said to Lily in fifth grade, causing them to part ways from their childhood friendship. Although he seemed calm and controlled most of the time, he did lose control sometimes, although Pomona didn't

I understand what happened to him. He was clearly doing well in Diagon Alley not long ago.

Pomona couldn't be like a 16-year-old girl, even though his irritable mood was like a fire, she could feel it from so far away.

"Thank you for your kindness, but I think Cedric has the right to choose what is best for him," Pomona said.

"What does a boy know?"

"Amos Diggory is now a clerk in the Ministry of Magic, but his ancestors had a Minister of Magic..."

"You are all idiots, Hufflepuff." He interrupted rudely.

Pomona was not angry. Look, Slytherin, whose interests were paramount, was actually teaching Hufflepuff, whose interests were not important, what "correctness" was.

"We may not have wisdom, but we have self-knowledge," Pomona said.

He looked like he wanted to retort.

"Don't forget Phoebe and Joey. When everyone in the school thought you did it, they chose to believe you." Pomona said before he spoke, "I told Cedric about the gold because my eyes also

You will deceive yourself and don’t use immediate interests to distinguish between your friends and foes.”

"I thought you'd heard that when an opportunity presents itself, those who don't take the chance are doomed to mediocrity."

"Hard work is more important than anything else. This is Cedric's choice, a Hufflepuff's choice. Please respect his choice." Pomona said.

There is a pose in yoga called tree pose. This pose requires standing on one foot, making it difficult for beginners to maintain stability and balance.

Yoga masters say that the "energy" should be concentrated on the spine, and the joints should be relaxed and not tense. It is a change from the standing mountain pose. When Pomona practiced this action, she imagined herself as a tree.

You will become very peaceful inside.

There are many talented losers in this world. Severus once took the wrong path. In addition to his own knowledge of correcting mistakes in time, Severus's current achievements are indispensable for Albus's protection.

"You don't have to be jealous of Cedric," Pomona said. "He's different from you."

"Why is it different?" he asked immediately.

Pomona felt he had guessed the "key" correctly.

"He's not as good at potions as you are."

"Do you think I'm jealous of his talent?" Severus asked in disbelief.

Isn't it?

She didn't know whether she said this sentence, but Snape seemed to have heard a joke and left after laughing.

He really left. He apparated away from the Smith house instead of going back to "socialize" again.

As soon as he disappeared, she felt that the huge pressure also disappeared, and then she felt that she had no strength in her body and could not even stand steady.
