Chapter 159: Reading Club
Looking at Hermione, who was sitting across from me with a look of praise on her face after saying so much, Ryan was filled with shock. He really didn't expect a teenage girl to think so much.
Think about it when I was my age, I was still thinking about the number of cards that I had collected, but I didn't collect them all. I have to sigh that there is indeed a difference between people.
But think about it, it is not difficult to understand that people who were able to start a house-elf rights promotion association in the fourth grade can go further in their own affairs with their families under the premise of sufficient data analysis in the third grade.
So Ryan praised after listening to Hermione's analysis: "You just gave a speech that was really amazing, and after listening to your speech just now, I feel that I have not done as well as you have done on this issue." You've made it clear what I've been vaguely thinking about before. ”
Hermione blushed embarrassedly after hearing Ryan's compliment, and then said, "I've been digging into this issue in the library for the past week, and I'm surprised to find that the current series of problems in the wizarding world due to bloodlines actually started thousands of years ago. ”
Speaking of this, Hermione paused for a moment, saw Ryan listening intently, and continued: "But there have only been two major changes in the Western wizarding world, one was in the Age of Discovery, when some wizards wantonly killed Muggles at its peak, causing some hemp wizards to be unable to accept the use of Muggle power to set off a witch hunt, and later spread and then were used by some evil wizards, resulting in heavy casualties on both sides, and this conflict also led to the introduction of the International Secrecy Law. ”
"The other time was Grindelwald's act of war to break the secrecy law under the pretext of protecting the world, which also objectively promoted the affirmative action movement in the wizarding world, at least in today's mainstream understanding, it has become a consensus that non-pure-blood wizards are also wizards. So even if he is evil, even if he wants to provoke a full-scale war, we need to thank him for this. ”
"Even after reading the materials from decades ago, I felt that his original intentions were probably not evil, and even great. But then his approach went completely dark. This is something to be warned. ”
"You see, the price of both of these changes came at the cost of war. And I hope we can find a way to lose a little bit. It can change the wizarding world while minimizing losses. ”
"So where do you think we should start?" Hermione's goal was indeed appealing, and it was in line with Ryan's own private thoughts. So Ryan was curious to know what specific means she had to achieve this goal.
"Well, I think we can start a book club first. After hearing Ryan's question, Hermione said with some expectation.
"What?" Ryan was startled by Hermione's twist. Originally, he thought that Hermione was going to carry out a big plan after hearing such a big story, but it turned out to be a simple book club.
"What do you think it will be?" said Hermione, raising an eyebrow. "As I said earlier, because of the war more than a decade ago, the British wizarding world is now in a rare period of equilibrium. There will be no major conflict for the time being. And I think we need to change the world in a subtle way, so is there anything wrong with choosing to start with the book club and slowly change?"
So it was, and Ryan finally knew why Hermione had this opinion. After all, who would have thought that Voldemort, who had already turned to ashes, would make a comeback and start a new war?
Ryan felt that if he did this, he might not be able to seize the opportunity to reshuffle the entire wizarding world because of the war. It will take decades to make this process, but until a better alternative can be thought of, Hermione's plan is undoubtedly the best choice now, as for the opportunities caused by the war, I think that at that time, Ryan's own strength is estimated to be on a higher level, and it will be enough to improvise at that time.
"Ah, you're right. Ryan nodded solemnly, "I was a little taken for granted just now, but can I ask you what you planned about how the book club should develop?"
"That's what I'm going to tell you right away. Hermione flipped to a page and read, "Our short-term goal is to explain our ideas through book clubs, attract like-minded people regardless of origin, and spread some magical knowledge." After all, the world of wizards is still the supremacy of strength, and it is very important to make up for this shortcoming first. I know you have a lot of advanced knowledge, and I hope you will make a sacrifice and share that knowledge. There are so few ways to acquire knowledge that we can find right now, and you may be the only place where you can acquire knowledge in the short term. ”
"No problem. Ryan readily agreed. It's certainly not possible to change something alone, even if it's as strong as Dumbledore and Voldemort, who have a large following. That being the case, it's acceptable to do something to gain everyone's support. Anyway, the content and objects to be taught will be controlled by Ryan himself, and it won't cause any major problems.
Hermione was encouraged to see Ryan agree, and then said in a pleasant tone, "Our long-term goal is to allow all wizards to live in a magical world where their abilities and character are judged not by their bloodline. ”
"I have a dream?" Ryan asked.
"Yes, I think there are a lot of good ideas in that speech, so I borrowed it, is there any problem?"
"No, I think it's good, please go ahead. ”
"If you decide to join, there will be two people in the book club now. I decided to apply to the professor now and turn the reading club into a club-allowed club organization allowed by the school, so that we can recruit people openly. Of course, in order to avoid conflicts in advance, I would describe the book club as a study support group in my application. and others attracted in the subtle influence of them. ”
"Wait, I remember you've always been straight. How did you choose to make such a big bend on this? Ryan asked, a little puzzled.
"Because what I've seen tells me that if you start with a clear division of camps, it will inevitably lead to conflict. I didn't want to cause those conflicts, so I naturally chose a roundabout tactic. It's not my character at all, but it's okay to dream about it. Hermione shrugged her shoulders helplessly.
"Of course, we can't start activities abroad right now. It's a good time to put together what we know and prepare promotional materials, so we can get started when we get back to Hogwarts. Hermione ended the conversation with a plan.
After Hermione left, Ryan slammed himself on the bed and closed his eyes thinking about what she had just said.
After going through the whole matter, Ryan found that although there were still some naiveties and shortcomings in thinking about Hermione, there was no problem with the general direction.
After determining this, Ryan decided to take the matter seriously.
