Chapter 158: Analysis of the Current Situation of the Wizarding World (Ask for Subscriptions, Ask for Collections, Ask for Recommendations)
The rest of the day was as usual, with the usual weekend martial arts practice, and the usual daily classes and classes. The only difference was that at Hermione's behest, Ryan began teaching the Patronus Charm during combat practice.
The Patronus Charm is indeed a high-level spell, and even a genius like Hermione, who can use magic just by reading a textbook, has encountered difficulties in learning this spell: after two days of practice, she can still only emit wisps of silver smoke, and it seems that there is still a long way to go before she reaches the practical stage.
The days went by like this, until Ryan, who had finished lunch on Friday, had just returned to the dorm when he heard Hermione knocking on the door outside.
Thankfully, she didn't rush in this time, Ryan thought as he walked over to the door to open it.
The door opened, and Ryan found Hermione standing outside with a serious face in her hand, holding a thick notebook.
"What is this?" asked Ryan, pointing to the notebook Hermione had placed on the table as the two of them were seated.
"This is what I found in the library after listening to what you said last week about hemp wizards, Muggles, and pure-blood wizards. Hermione flipped through her notebook, and there were a lot of things written in Juanxiu's handwriting.
"This is thanks to the fact that Castro Bruzzo is an international school, and I have a lot of information about the world in the library, and I find places that I have never looked at before. Hermione said to Ryan as she looked at the notes she had taken.
"In fact, the status of hemp wizards and Muggles has improved compared to what they used to be. For example, a few decades ago, in the New World, Muggles and wizards were even forbidden to marry due to the Rappaport Laws. England is no better, and wizards who want to marry Muggles must put away their wands and break with the wizarding world. The world has now advanced to allow intermarriage between wizards and Muggles, and some wizards are allowed to reveal their wizarding identities to Muggles as family members. ”
"What do you mean by this is that the wizarding world can slowly progress and change its own shortcomings, and we don't need to try to push for change?" Ryan asked a little strangely as he listened to Hermione praise the progress of the wizarding world. He originally thought that Hermione would attack the shortcomings of the wizarding world as soon as he came up, but he didn't expect Hermione to directly describe the progress of wizards, which made Ryan a little confused, and he 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 wizarding world, and we need to summarize the examples that have successfully advanced the wizarding world." And learn from these examples for our own actions. After all, I found out that the wizarding world's attitude towards hemp wizards and Muggles is still terrible, and this situation needs to change urgently. ”
"For example, I've seen several cases where a wizard kills someone, depending on whether he killed a pure-blood wizard, a hemp wizard or a Muggle, and his own bloodline, the punishment will be different. This is a stark illustration of the wizarding world's contempt for wizards who are not pure-blooded from the bottom of their bones. ”
"Not to mention that I'll never forget when Lucius Malfoy humiliated my parents in the bookstore last year, and most of the wizards around me didn't think about the situation and ignored my parents, all because my parents were Muggles who didn't know magic. Perhaps this had a great impact on Hermione, and Ryan was trembling slightly with excitement when she saw this.
"It's like the little Sirius who broke from prison in the newspapers, killed twelve Muggles in one open breath in the streets. But the wizarding world only cares about the slain wizard. Dead Muggles were prevaricated by a gas explosion and were not compensated for the wizarding world's mistakes. ”
"So I wanted to do something to change the status quo. After all, our loved ones, many of our friends don't know magic. At a time when pure-blood wizards were dominant, the wizarding world of prejudice and discrimination made them easy victims of the wizarding world's mistakes. Hermione quickly regained her composure and concluded.
"And what do you think we should do?" Ryan asked as he adjusted his sitting position and sat up straight, earnestly. After all, pure-blood wizards now have a deep-rooted position in the wizarding world. He was now eager to hear what Hermione could do to make a difference.
"For this purpose, I collected a week's worth of information, carefully studying a previous person who had changed the status quo of the wizarding world on a large scale: Gellert?? Grindelwald. Hermione didn't explain the issue directly, but began to talk about what she had found earlier.
"Gellert?? Grindelwald: Is it the Dark Wizard who was defeated by Dumbledore?"
"Yes, at least for hundreds of years, he was the only one who managed to make the wizarding world change itself on a massive scale, and I think there's something merit to his experience. He declared that as the Muggle world grew, Muggles would slowly destroy the entire world. At the same time, because of the advancement of technology, wizards will one day be seriously threatened. So he thinks wizards should break through the old laws to rule the world. ”
He also pointed out that he did not hate any Muggles. It's just that he thinks Muggles lack vision and need wizards to lead them, which is why he rules Muggles. ”
"There's nothing special about that, every powerful villain will always come up with a seemingly righteous reason to inspire ordinary people and win over followers. Ryan said.
However, Grindelwald proposed that as long as they are wizards, everyone should be equal, and blood is not important. At the same time, he believed that Muggles and wizards could live in harmony, but only in the order he had designed. Because of this slogan, a large number of non-pure-blood wizards and Muggle-friendly wizards at the time were attracted to him. Finally, after the war, many of the Ministry of Magic, which was controlled by pure-bloods at the time, were severely damaged, and those pure-bloods also recognized the power of non-pure-blood wizards, so they changed a lot of laws to give up a lot of benefits. Hermione stood up with some excitement and said in a loud voice.
"It's just that the war Grindelwald started didn't reach England, so the status quo of pure-blood wizarding rule in England remains strong and unshakable, even if Professor Dumbledore has been trying to solve the problem mildly for decades. ”
"But now it seems that this mild approach is largely useless. Britain's progress is entirely due to the fact that after the defeat of the Mysteries, many of the backbone of the pure-blood family lost power or even died, resulting in the lack of manpower of the pure-blood family, and they had to tolerate the result of non-pure-blood forces filling the vacant positions. ”
"So now is the best time to say: the power of pure-blood wizards in Britain has been weakened, and hemp wizards and half-blood wizards have been cultivated. The only problem is that pure-blood wizards are still trying to keep a firm grip on the wizarding world. ”
This illustrates. We are not alone in improving the wizarding world, and we don't even need to step up as leaders for the time being. What we need to do now is to start small, and start to influence little by little from the classmates around us. In the end, it achieved the goal of changing the British wizarding world. After all, we are still young and have plenty of time. Hermione concluded.
