Chapter 577 Changes in Flowers

Every Sunday, the flower market on Columbia Road in London's East End opens.

On weekdays, it is an old, quiet road with many cafes and small restaurants. On Sundays, it suddenly becomes colorful, and you can find all kinds of flowers flown in from all over the world.

There are only three days left for the Lantern Festival. In addition to rosemary, berries, and roses, the flowers on display at the flower market also include many plum blossoms, orchids, hydrangeas, and other flowers that Orientals like. Some people even set up stalls to perform flower arrangements.

This year is the Year of Cultural Exchange between China and the UK. "Ikebana" has always been considered Japanese culture. Now some Chinese people seem to pay attention to their own traditional culture.

A group of Chinese girls wearing Hanfu bought flowers from the flower market, arranged them according to oriental aesthetic concepts, and sold them with flower utensils at the entrance of the flower market. Many people were watching.

According to the instructor's explanation, Chinese ikebana pays more attention to enlightenment than Japanese ikebana. The outside of the flower is calm and peaceful, but the inside contains the tenacity of life. Pomona took a fancy to a red velvet Phalaenopsis at a glance, and it was in full bloom.

In a blue-glazed vase, this kind of jumping and warm color is needed in the cold luxury apartment, which is mainly green and silver.

She planned to buy just for the vase, not to mention a bouquet of flowers as a gift. In addition, she also bought a lot of yellow dancing orchids. It was rare to live on the top floor with sunlight shining in. This kind of flower made her even more excited.

Thinking of Hufflepuff's common room, although it is underground like the Slytherin common room, half of it is above ground.

The light that comes in from the window shines on those delicate petals, which look full of life. The sweet smell of cakes coming from the kitchen next door mixes with the fragrance of flowers, creating a peculiar smell, which is better than Slater's, which always smells musty.

The forest cellar, and the smelly Gryffindor Tower smelled much better.

The boys in Hufflepuff are not as aggressive as the Lions and Snakes. They love the good life and give everyone a mediocre impression, just like Frank Kennedy.

Girls are more like Melanie. It is not difficult to take care of the sick and poor and give them a bite to eat. It is not difficult to protect magical animals.

But this kind of generosity is often taken advantage of by people. There are many people in this world who take advantage of other people's kindness to deceive.

Being sincere to others is treated as a fool, and a kind and honest person is always ridiculed by others. This does not actually make the "smart person" appear to be really smart, but people are willing to do that.

The reason why many people like to bully honest people is because these honest people are like peaches, and many people will specially pick such soft ones to pinch.

Although Hufflepuff boys seem to be timid and fearful, they can still come in handy at critical moments. In the Battle of Hogwarts, all the children of all ages in Hufflepuff Academy came. Although there was Zacharias

Smith was a deserter, but they did not surrender in the face of the overwhelming Death Eaters.

Although ordinary living beings cannot exude as dazzling brilliance as the elites of the other three colleges, there is a warm little sun in the heart of every Mrs. Hefpair. It is they who make this indifferent and quick-profit world humane.

For ambitious men, inventing self-cleaning rags is far less interesting than inventing black magic that can cause great damage, but dear sir, the dishes still need to be washed after eating.

Housework is tedious, but if you want to keep a home clean, someone has to do it. Of course, it is not as interesting as talking about law, politics, philosophy, and art. Doing housework is just like farming, cleaning sewers, and cleaning streets.

It must be done. In the Middle Ages, people pursued the spiritual world too much and did not manage urban sanitation, which created a breeding ground for plague outbreaks.

Aristotle once said that people gather in cities to live and hope to live better in the city. The ultimate goal of the city is to create a better living space for rational people. Urban planning is a complex and tedious task.

, the size of the city should not be too large, otherwise it will require a lot of manpower just to maintain the operation of a city.

A thousand years ago, Chang'an of the Tang Dynasty created an unprecedented precedent - "super-large cities". China was ahead of the West in this aspect. The ancient Chinese used "Feng Shui" and "Book of Changes" to plan cities, which was similar to the Greek city-states.

Rome's planning and design style was completely different.

The Lifang system must be managed with supporting laws and regulations. Unfortunately, people in the Tang Dynasty did not pay as much attention to legal education as they did in the Qin Dynasty. Large-scale fires occurred in the East City of Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty, but in contrast, they rarely occurred in the West City.

Fire, and the West Market happens to be where more foreign businessmen gather. This does not mean that the quality and habits of foreigners are better than those of the Tang Dynasty people. Look at this flower market, it is essentially no different from the Chinese market.

The biggest difference was their fear of the law. At that time, people all over the world were studying Tang Law, but the Chinese themselves did not take the law seriously.

Hufflepuff will always be the super "nanny" who hangs out with everyone and drives the drunks home one by one while sober. He seems to have endless worries.

Hufflepuffs actually know a lot, and they are not as stupid as they seem.

If a person has great talent, modesty is hypocrisy. Socrates, he is very annoying. It is very difficult to get along with others. Although a silly smile will make others look down on you, at least he will not be your enemy. This is a good thing.

A survival skill, if you change it into an Eastern idiom, it means being as wise as you are foolish.

There are people buying self-cleaning rags, but black magic is considered immoral. Therefore, many Hufflepuffs are very rich.

Hufflepuff, who is good at plant magic, does not need to buy flowers, but the money spent on flowers allows the flower farmers to earn money to buy bread and other daily necessities, thus indirectly feeding some people.

With the decoration of flowers, the home became more beautiful and lively. She was really fed up with Slytherin's depressing "aesthetics", and she wanted to add some soft elements to the house. That day in Jia

There was a big pot of flowers on the dining table of Steen's family, and she wanted to put the same flowers, so she bought many, many flowers.

"Look who that is?" Severus looked at the stall next to him.

Pomona followed his gaze and looked over.

"Susan Burns!" she said with surprise and joy.

Susan, who was paying her boss and holding a large armful of cosmos, turned her head when she heard someone calling her name.

"who are you?"

Only then did Pomona remember that she had used a blind trick to prevent Susan from recognizing her old dean.

Severus, who also used the same trick, folded his hands and looked like he was watching a good show.

"I'm your aunt's colleague." Pomona had an idea and said quickly.

"Oh, hello." Susan believed it easily. She asked a little uneasily, "What can I do for you?"

"I'm just saying hello." Pomona said awkwardly, "Are you still an Auror now?"

"No, I am no longer a teacher. Now I am a teacher in an off-campus training school."

"Oh, really? Is it related to the law?"

"Ernie Macmillan opened a training class in Hogsmeade that specializes in teaching Guardians. I am helping there. These flowers are used to decorate the classroom."

As Susan spoke, she raised the cosmos in her hand. Pomona felt as if she had been struck by lightning.

What did Ernie and Susan do to the Hog's Head pub, which was small, dark, very dirty, with a strong smell of sheep's mutton inside, and centuries of dirt accumulated on the floor?

"Nice to meet you, goodbye." Susan said politely and distantly, and then disappeared into the sea of ​​​​people, holding the flowers.

"I can't wait to see Aberforth's face when he hears the news." Severus gloated and said with a smile, "The old goat will be very 'happy' when he hears it."

It is said that after the Weasley brothers installed a portable swamp in the school corridor, Umbridge was unable to destroy it, and Filch had to use the boat to transport the children to class.

So Hufflepuff's children often accidentally "leaked" the seeds into the swamp, and they soon sprouted and bloomed, becoming colorful everywhere, eventually becoming a new dating destination.

"I'm obviously not a teacher anymore." Pomona said, almost crying.

The renovation of the Pig Head Bar set a new record in her life when she caught someone cooking a love potion in the dormitory in the lounge. Look what kind of students she has taught.

Seeing how unlucky she was, Severus was even happier. He couldn't help but laugh. The laughter made her lose her mind and she wanted to beat him with the flowers in her hand.

"Why are Slytherins so annoying?" she said through gritted teeth.

"Hufflepuffs are very lovable, but can you help others reach the top?" Severus said with a sarcastic smile.

Pomona recalled her dream, in which Severus told Lily that they would be sorted into Ravenclaw.

She knew nothing about ambition. If a Slytherin couldn't be taken seriously by others, then he was a loser.

Expecting him to change for love is actually just wishful thinking on her part.

Even Lily can't change him, who can change him?

"Do you still want to reach the pinnacle of power?" she asked tiredly.

"No, I'm just tired of being a pawn anymore." After saying that, he put his arm around her shoulders and continued to wander in the flower market.

For Slytherin, washing dishes is also a kind of work. Although he has to do his own things, when he leaves his own things to others, he gives others a chance to work and reflects his own value.

Everyone has their own "position". How can a person who doesn't know anything about the Twelve Tables be a judge? If he doesn't have the ability to fight for himself, he will only be asking for trouble. Harry's situation is different. He doesn't want to

Everyone forced him to become the Director of the Executive Department of the Ministry of Magic. Who calls him a living savior?
