Chapter 158 Analysis of the Status Quo of the Magical World
Everything went on as usual in the following days, including weekend fighting practice as usual, and classes as usual every day. The only difference was that at Hermione's request, Ryan began to teach the use of the Patronus Charm during fighting practice.
The Patronus Charm is indeed an advanced spell. Even a genius like Hermione, who can use magic simply by reading a textbook, encountered difficulties when learning this spell: after two days of practice, she could still only cast a ray of light.
There are wisps of silver smoke, and it seems that there is still a long way to go before it reaches the practical stage.
The days passed like this, until Ryan, who had just returned to the dormitory after lunch on Friday, heard Hermione knocking on the door outside.
Fortunately she didn't rush in directly this time, Ryan thought as he walked to the door to open it.
The door opened, and Ryan found Hermione standing outside with a serious face, holding a thick notebook in her hand.
"What is this?" After the two people sat down, Ryan asked, pointing to the notebook placed by Hermione on the table.
"This is the information about Muggle wizards, Muggles and pure-blood wizards that I collected in the library after listening to what you said last week." Hermione opened the notebook and wrote densely in Juanxiu's handwriting.
A lot of things.
"Thanks to Castello Brusso being an international school, I can find a lot of information about all over the world in the library. From these materials, I found some places that I have never paid attention to before." Hermione
While looking at the notes she took, she said to Ryan.
"In fact, the status of Muggles and Muggles has improved compared to before. For example, a few decades ago, in the New World, due to the "Rappaport Laws", intermarriage between Muggles and wizards was even prohibited.
The UK is not much better. If a wizard wants to marry a Muggle, he must put away his wand and break away from the wizarding world. Now the world has progressed to allow intermarriage between wizards and Muggles, and some wizards are also allowed to marry.
A Muggle who is a member of the family reveals his or her identity as a wizard."
"What you mean by this is that the magical world can slowly make progress and change its shortcomings. Don't we need to try to promote changes?" Ryan asked a little strangely when listening to Hermione praising the progress of the magical world. He originally thought that
Hermione would criticize the shortcomings of the wizarding world as soon as she came up. Unexpectedly, Hermione directly described the progress of wizards. This made Ryan a little confused and didn't know what Hermione wanted to express.
"No, of course not." Hermione shook her head and said, "I just want to show that there is progress in the magical world, and we need to summarize those examples that have successfully promoted the progress of the magical world and draw lessons from these examples for our own actions.
Experience. After all, after checking the information, I found that the wizarding world still has a very bad attitude towards Muggles and Muggles, and this status quo needs to be changed urgently."
"For example, I have seen several cases where a wizard kills someone. Depending on whether he kills a pure-blood wizard, a Muggle wizard or a Muggle, as well as his different bloodlines, he will be punished differently. This nakedly shows that the wizarding world is built from the bottom up.
Contempt those wizards who are not pure blood."
"Not to mention that I will never forget that when Lucius Malfoy humiliated my parents in the bookstore last year, most of the wizards around him disapproved of this situation and ignored my parents, and all this was because my parents were not
Magical Muggles." Maybe this incident had a great impact on Hermione. Ryan found that when she said this, her whole body was trembling slightly with excitement.
"Just like what the newspaper said about Sirius who escaped from prison, he killed twelve Muggles in one breath in the street. But the wizarding world only cares about the killed wizard. The dead Muggles were killed by a gas explosion.
I just made excuses and didn't get any compensation for the wizarding world's mistakes."
"So I want to do something to change the current situation. After all, our relatives and many of our friends do not know magic. When pure-blood wizards were dominant, the wizarding world where prejudice and discrimination spread made it easy for them to become
A victim of the wizarding world's mistakes." Hermione quickly regained her composure and finally concluded.
"So what do you think we should do?" Ryan adjusted his sitting posture and sat up straight, and asked seriously. After all, pure-blood wizards now have a deep-rooted position in the wizarding world. He now hopes to hear what useful suggestions Hermione can give.
can change this situation.
"For this matter, I collected information for a week and carefully studied a person who had previously changed the status quo of the wizarding world on a large scale: Gellert Grindelwald." Hermione did not explain the problem directly, but began to talk about her previous experience.
The information found.
"Gellert Grindelwald? Is he the dark wizard who was defeated by Dumbledore?"
"Yes, at least for hundreds of years, he is the only one who has made the wizarding world change itself on a large scale. I think his experience has some merits. He announced that with the development of the Muggle world, Muggles will
Slowly destroying the entire world. At the same time, due to the advancement of technology, wizards will one day be seriously threatened. So he believes that wizards should break through those ancient laws to rule the entire world."
"At the same time, he also pointed out that he does not hate any Muggles. It is just that he believes that Muggles lack vision and need wizards to lead them forward. This is why he wants to rule Muggles."
"There's nothing special about this? Every powerful villain will always come up with a seemingly just reason to inspire ordinary people and win over followers," Ryan said.
"However, Grindelwald proposed that as long as he is a wizard, everyone should be equal, and blood is not important. At the same time, he believed that Muggles and wizards can also live in harmony, but only under the order he designed. Because of this slogan,
At that time, a large number of low-level non-pure-blood wizards and wizards close to Muggles were attracted to him. Finally, after the war, many of the Ministry of Magic controlled by pure-bloods at the time were severely damaged, and those pure-bloods also recognized non-pure-blood wizards.
That’s why we later changed a lot of laws and gave away a lot of benefits.” At this point, Hermione stood up excitedly and said in a louder voice.
"It's just that the war initiated by Grindelwald did not affect the United Kingdom, so the status quo of pure-blood wizard rule in the United Kingdom remains firm and unshakable, even though Professor Dumbledore has been trying to solve this problem through gentle means in the past few decades."
"But now it seems that this gentle method is basically useless. Britain's progress is entirely due to the fact that many pure-blood families lost power or even died after the failure of the mysterious man. As a result, pure-blood families were short of manpower and had to tolerate non-pure-blood forces to fill the vacancies.
The result.”
"So now is the best time: the power of pure-blood wizards in the UK has been weakened, and the pure-blood wizards and mixed-blood wizards have been cultivated. The only problem is that those pure-blood wizards are still trying to firmly control the magical world.
.”
"This shows that in the process of improving the magical world, we are not fighting alone, and we do not even need to stand up as leaders for the time being. What we need to do now is to start from a small place, starting from the classmates around us and exerting our influence bit by bit.
Impact. In the end, it will achieve the goal of changing the British wizarding world. After all, we are still young and have enough time." Hermione said in conclusion.
