"Please find it a new home."

This was written on a cardboard box placed in the yard, containing a cat with smooth fur.

Pomona looked at the cat very anxiously. Every time graduation is approaching, many pets will be abandoned. Although judging from the cat's fur, it has been well taken care of, but it is no longer needed.

This is a mandatory rule of the school. Every student must buy a pet and use it in the Transfiguration class.

Some people may not want to keep pets at first, but they keep them because of this regulation. After years of getting along with them and developing feelings for them, they will keep the pets, but most pets will still be discarded.

Pomona thinks this rule can be changed. If the animals are only used in class, there are many abandoned pets in the school, so there is no need to buy new ones.

She ignored the cat and walked through the Transfiguration Courtyard, intending to come back and take it away when she was done.

The Alaho Cave Curse can only be taught in the second grade, and Derek in the first grade cannot. That curse is very convenient for thieves. When the Black Death broke out, many noble families were also harvested by the scythe of death. Thieves

They ran to their homes and took away all the valuables.

At the baptism of wealthy families in the 14th century, guests would give babies spoons decorated with the 12 saints. Depending on the financial resources of the family, they were divided into gold spoons, silver spoons, and copper spoons. The more expensive the material, the more distinguished it was.

In addition, as for clothes, even nobles in the UK are rarely able to wear silk shipped along the overland Silk Road, and even knights can only wear furs.

As a large number of people died, there were more animals such as sheep, cattle, and horses. They wandered around because no one took care of them. Before the outbreak of the plague, a horse could be bought for 40 shillings. After the outbreak, you could buy it for 6 shillings. On the contrary,

It was woolen fabrics that became extremely expensive, especially the luxurious woolen fabrics from Florence.

After workers' wages were raised, the first thing they did was to improve their quality of life. Everyone wore the best fabrics they could afford.

Wool will not automatically spin into thread when it grows on a sheep. There are also processes such as weaving, bleaching, dyeing, polishing, and embroidery. These all require manual processing. The skilled workers have died, and the newly trained craftsmen need time, and

Social demand continues to increase, which has led to an increase in the price of textile industrial products, although it is not comparable to expensive silk.

In the 1290s, Philip IV of France obtained the wealthy Champagne, Poitou, Toulouse and other regions because he married Queen Juana of Navarre, so he could make gold florins with high face value, plus Franchise.

After the German War broke out, merchants went to Bruges to speculate in wool, and a large amount of silver came to Britain.

At that time, pounds were still made of silver and pennies. In short, the wool trade was related to silver and pennies. King Edward would conduct wars through taxes and loans from the Italians.

The end result was that big businessmen used relatively stable gold florins, while workers were paid in silver pennies.

At that time, the French princes who had the right to mint coins were already reducing the silver content of their silver coins, while the British still maintained it at about 92%, which was more reliable than the poor coins minted by the princes.

When wages rise, in addition to buying clothes, we also need to buy good food. With so many cattle and sheep so cheap, of course we can buy them and eat them.

In addition to eating meat, you also need to add spices. Spices were only eaten by nobles in the past. This led to the spice trade. However, at that time, the only way to transport spices was the "Spice Road" of the Mediterranean. In the feudal system, "passage" has always been

The problem is not just that the Western world has the right of passage. It is recorded in Sun Tzu's Art of War that the Jin State in the Spring and Autumn Period wanted to conquer a country called Guo. To this end, it had to borrow a road from the neighboring country Yu and annexed both countries through a strategy.

.

Not only did the lords collect tolls between each other, but also the Weyland in the manor also collected fees so that neighbors could pass through their own land. In this way, a feudal order was formed.

Along the way, the price of spices became extremely high, which indirectly led the Portuguese to find new routes from the ocean to India to find spices. Especially after Constantinople was captured by the Ottoman Empire, the spice route was cut off.

Wages rose, people's living standards improved, and prices began to rise. Then workers soon discovered that the increase in their wages could not keep up with the rise in prices, and the pennies they received were still devaluing. In 1349, the exchange rate between florins and pennies was still

1:240, and in 1378 it was 1:1000.

At this time, the French king was not idle either. He not only disbanded the Knights Templar, but also kidnapped the Pope to Avignon.

The death of priests and laymen alike did not cause a crisis of faith. In fact, this problem already existed before the outbreak of the plague. The pope was too involved in secular affairs, more concerned about financial and political interests, and showed off his supreme power. Bonifa

King Joseph VIII not only used the church's public funds to buy the land of the Cologne family, but even said that he would demote Philip IV to a groom.

The mortal body is subject to decay. Among the frescoes in Florence, there is a depiction of Saint Antonino, a monk who took care of the sick during the Black Death. His body did not decay after his death.

While the family is ignoring the sick, the monastery is accepting the sick. For the helpless people, this is enough.

They found peace in the prayers of the priest. In addition, there was the sound of dying people wailing, which replaced the sound of hymns and echoed in the church. It is natural for ordinary people to run away out of fear at this time.

I am also running, as long as I can find a peaceful place, whether it is my own or a neighbor's.

The people who have the easiest time at this time are those without children. Wine sales are also very good at this time. Why not get drunk during the carnival?

Machiavelli wrote that Florence lost 90,000 people in the plague, and other records recorded a total of 80,000 people in Florence. Machiavelli once served in the Republic of Florence. It is difficult to say whether this data is true or false.

Officials were either dead or running away, and the administrative departments were busy disposing of corpses and isolating patients, and lacked the power to count the exact number of dead.

Those who bury corpses will not let go of anything. They are like crows and jackals that appear near corpse pits. If they see the clothes on the deceased are not bad, they will take them off, wash them and then sell them.

Whether it is bubonic plague or pneumonic plague, such clothes will cause problems if worn by healthy people. The best way is to burn them.

But textiles are too expensive, so there will always be people who buy such second-hand clothes.

She never thought that keeping pets could cultivate people's love and sense of responsibility. St. Augustine said that the so-called "self-evidence" is the knowledge we are born with. Once we know its name, we can immediately recognize it.

Just like a memory lying in the subconscious mind, when someone mentions the word cake, they will immediately understand what it is.

James helped Lupine, not only accompanying him through the painful transformation period, chasing him around the school, but also preventing a murder from happening.

No one told him to do that, he just did it according to his own nature.

When danger came, he did not run away, although he knew that he could not stop the Dark Lord and protect his family.

Family is also a word, but it is different from cake and evokes different desires.

The Mirror of Erised can reveal a person's deepest desires, but Pomona doesn't want to look at it just yet.

She knocked on the door of Minerva's office, but no one inside said "come in." She opened the door directly and found no one inside.

Just as she was about to leave, Minerva came down the stairs with a parchment in her hand.

"Oh, Pomona, what can you do?" Minerva asked.

"That's this year's freshman list?" Pomona asked, looking at the parchment.

"Is this why you're here?" Minerva said, putting the scroll away.

"No, I have a question." Pomona said.

Minerva listened quietly.

"Oliver Humbe's nephew is at school?" Pomona asked.

"Yes." Minerva nodded.

"Why is he here?" Pomona asked.

"He works for the Ministry of Magic," said Minerva.

"No... what I'm trying to say is why did he say that to Myrtle?" Pomona said.

"What did he say?" Minerva asked confused.

"Where is he? I'm going to find him," Pomona said.

Minerva studied her.

"Don't worry, I won't hurt him." Pomona said.

"On the day of Owls' exam, he will go to the clock tower to invigilate the exam. You can ask him." Minerva said calmly, "I hope everything goes through safely."

"Of course." Pomona said anxiously.

"Is there anything else?" Minerva asked.

Pomona stared into her eyes.

She felt that it was too early to start the second round. The long-haired cat was no match for the tabby cat in front of her.

"Nothing else," Pomona said dryly, running away from the stern professor from her student days.
