[tom-riddle-conoisseur]

Harry is the only person to love Tom's Cockney accent. He can't get enough of the accent slipping inadvertently when he was feeling sleepy or agitated, or apoplectic with rage. The sound of a desperate Tom whispering "Me 'Arry" in his ear when they are both about to come never failed to drive him into ecstasy.

The no-nonsense, unfiltered East End boy who was reduced to a skeleton in Tom's closet, vanquished, subdued and battered after years of steady and relentless gentrification, sometimes raised his pretty, defiant head, especially in Harry's presence. Much to Tom's mortification.

That, and Cockney had the word "cock" in it. How could it be anything other than hot?

P.S: Tom is astounded that Harry thinks his cursed Cockney twang, not his Parseltongue, is hot. Not for the first time, he wonders if he was dropped on his head when he was wee.

Святилище Богоматери Короны (Santuario Madonna della Corona).

Святилище Мадонны делла Корона находится в деревне Спьяцци, в провинции Верона. Этот церковный комплекс построен прямо в скальной стене горы Бальдо в Альпах, на высоте 774 метров над уровнем моря. Под ним расположена долина реки Адиже, а над ним возвышаются утес и бескрайнее небо.

Считается, что около 1000 года благочестивые отшельники, связанные с аббатством Святого Зено в Вероне, основали на горе Бальдо ре��игиозное убежище. К XIII веку здесь уже существовал монастырь. По легенде, строительство святилища началось в 1522 году, когда статуя Мадонны чудесным образом была перенесена с острова Родос на это место «по воле ангелов» после захвата Родоса османскими войсками. В 1530 году на месте чуда была построена часовня, а через столетие — более крупная церковь. Последние значительные работы по реконструкции проходили в 1970-х годах под руководством архитектора Гвидо Тисато. Ранее, в XIX веке, святилище подверглось неоготической перестройке, но позднее его признали нестабильным. Сегодня оно полностью восстановлено и безопасно для посещения.

В средние века в монастырь снизу вела опасная горная тропа, и это был единственный путь. Впоследствии построили мосты, деревянные и каменные лестницы, затем — дорогу на горе, по которой теперь автобус доставляет людей. По лестнице паломники/пилигримы поднимаются до сих пор. Тропа «Путь Надежды» начинается от города Брентино Беллуно. Вверх через лес ведут 1500 ступенек. В среднем на такой подъем в монастырь пилигримы тратят 2 часа.

Кроме того, внутри здания находится Святая лестница (Scala Santa), считающаяся точной копией лестницы во дворец Пилата, по которой Иисус поднимался, чтобы услышать смертный приговор.

Sanctuary of Madonna della Corona (Santuario Madonna della Corona).

The Sanctuary of Madonna della Corona is located in the village of Spiazzi, in the province of Verona. This church complex is built directly into the rock wall of Mount Baldo in the Alps, at an altitude of 774 meters above sea level. Below it is the valley of the Adige River, and above it rises a cliff and an endless sky.

It is believed that around the year 1000, pious hermits associated with the Abbey of San Zeno in Verona founded a religious retreat on Mount Baldo. By the 13th century, a monastery already existed here. According to legend, the construction of the sanctuary began in 1522, when the statue of the Madonna was miraculously transferred from the island of Rhodes to this place “by the will of angels” after the capture of Rhodes by Ottoman troops. In 1530, a chapel was built on the site of the miracle, and a century later, a larger church. The last significant reconstruction work took place in the 1970s under the direction of the architect Guido Tisato. Earlier, in the 19th century, the sanctuary underwent a neo-Gothic reconstruction, but it was later recognized as unstable. Today, it is fully restored and safe to visit.

In the Middle Ages, a dangerous mountain path led from below to the monastery, and this was the only way. Later, bridges, wooden and stone stairs were built, then a road on the mountain, along which a bus now takes people. Pilgrims still climb the stairs. The "Way of Hope" trail starts from the town of Brentino Belluno. 1,500 steps lead up through the forest. On average, pilgrims spend 2 hours on this climb to the monastery.

Also inside the building is the Holy Stairs (Scala Santa), which is considered an exact replica of the stairs to Pilate's palace that Jesus climbed to hear his death sentence.
