Chapter Fifty-Four: The Pure-Blood Theory

That night, after the House Cup awards, in Gryffindor's lounge.

"It's a shame that the House Cup should have been ours - if it weren't for Malfoy."

After the House Cup Awards Dinner, Ron, who returned to the Gryffindor Tower in his dormitory, was so disappointed that he lay on the couch and complained, this was a rare opportunity, and it was rare for him to get that kind of glory.

As a result, it turned into a fantasy under the words of that nasty Malfoy father.

Ron's greatest wish was to be admired as a great man, and today he should have had the opportunity to take a big step towards that goal.

It would be nice if there wasn't Malfoy.

Ron muttered silently.

It's majestic.

However, hate is hate. On the other hand, Ron was still very envious or jealous of the prestige of those school directors. He thought more than once in his heart that it would be good when he could be so majestic.

It's a pity that the Weasleys have declined, except for the only "many" to be proud of, compared to the other pure-blood families, they have no money and no power, just like Malfoy ridiculed, they have too many children to raise.

"Those pure-blood wizards are really arrogant, but I really didn't expect them to be the trustees of Hogwarts."

As a Muggle-born, Hermione had a hard time understanding how a pure-blood wizard could be so arrogant, but today she finally understood something.

Even in Muggle shijie, rich people are always uncles.

"They've always been Hogwarts trustees, and I've heard that Hogwarts is funded by pure-blood wizards."

Neville, on the other hand, was much more emboldened by the rare praise he had received at the dinner party, and was now in a group with Harry.

They gathered around the fireplace and sipped on snacks and drinks from the house-elves.

"This is the first time I've heard of it, and my dad never told me that."

Ron muttered a few words, apparently feeling inferior to himself for not even knowing anything about what Neville knew.

"Oh, my dear brother, not everything is known only from Daddy."

"Of course, you can also learn from books, can't you?"

The Weasley twins walked over with their shoulders on each other's shoulders and interjected. By the way, after crumpling Ron's hair into a mess, Liso ran away.

"Damn, that's why I hate my brother or something."

Ron desperately tried to protect his hair from his twin brother, but it was a pity that he could not handle two hands with one hand, and the Weasley twins were much better than him.

"What the hell is a pure-blood, Weishenme Those Slytherin guys always think that they are superior and look down on Muggle wizards, I really can't understand what is going on in their heads."

Hermione curled up on the couch with a cup of hot cocoa, she was not the little girl who had entered the wizarding world for the first time, and during her year at Hogwarts, she had learned what it was like to be a Muggle wizard.

The slanderous phrase "mudblood" is the name given to Muggle wizards, why do pure-blood wizards think they are above each other, they are garbage in the mud?

"Who knows, those guys with their brains."

Not missing an opportunity to taunt Slytherin, and not knowing how Mr. Weasley taught children, Ron hadn't dealt with Slytherin since he came to school.

"Well—actually, it's not for nothing that pure-blood wizards are so proud. I once heard my grandmother say ......"

"Neville! Who the hell are you talking for! ”

Before Neville could finish speaking, he was cut off by Ron's yell, and he was already timid and introverted, and he swallowed all the words back into his stomach.

"Ron, your tone is so bad! Don't care, Neville, he doesn't mean anything. Go on, I'm curious. ”

Hermione glared at Ron in displeasure, no one would like this kind of mad dog-like behavior.

"Yes, yes! Neville, you go on, I'm curious, too. ”

Harry also supported Neville, remembering that when the Sorting House had recommended him to Slytherin, the Sorting Hat had suggested that Slytherin would be a better fit for him. But in the end he ended up in Gryffindor because he had his friends there.

"Uh, okay."

Neville, who didn't want to talk about it anymore, saw that there were so many people supporting him, and he was not good at rejecting people, so he had to nod his head.

"As far as I know, the pride of pureblood is not unreasonable. My grandmother said—"

Neville struggled to remember what Grandma had said to him at the time, but his memory was not good, so he was worried about saying something wrong.

'Yes!' Born noble', that's it. ”

Neville desperately tried to think at the cost of a cerebral hemorrhage, and finally remembered the words that Grandma Erli had said at the beginning, these four short words.

"Born noble? weishenme？ ”

Harry couldn't understand that he was destined to be noble from birth, how could this kind of thing be possible, this was not an ancient nobleman. Modern society will care whether you are noble or not, everyone is an ordinary citizen.

"Hmm~" Hermione seemed to think of something, she tilted her head and recalled, "Oh! Yes, I seem to have read a similar title. It seems to be called "Born Noble, Wizard Genealogy", and this book seems to be an introduction to the history of pure-blood wizards. ”

"yes, that's it."

Neville's affirmation made Hermione and Harry even more confused about what was written in that book.

Hermione shook her head in annoyance, hating herself for not borrowing it to see what the book had written.

"Pure-blood wizards, in terms of magic, do have an advantage over Muggles in blood, this is not a boast of pure-blood wizards themselves, but a fact. With the exception of a few mutants, most students like Hermione's would not be able to compete with pure-bloods. ”

"Pure-blood wizards, generally speaking, there are many more magic liliang than Muggle wizards, and their wizarding lineage has been determined, and the descendants rarely appear squibs, which is incomparable to Muggle wizards. Generally speaking, to become a pure-blood wizard, you must not have Muggle blood for at least three generations. ”

"The descendants of Muggle wizards have a very high chance of being a squib, with a probability of almost 10~50%, so it is difficult for Muggle wizards to form a complete wizarding family. Purebloods don't have such a problem. ”

"But the above are trivial, and the pure-blood wizards themselves don't take this issue very seriously now, except for a few examples, Blake."

"What really makes pure-blood wizards worthy of the words 'born noble' is the duty they undertake."

"Didn't you notice? No matter how bad the situation was, even during the reign of the mysterious man, or after that person was wiped out, no one dared to truly exterminate the bloodline of pure-blood wizards. There's a reason for that. ”

Neville spoke at length and captivated Harry and Hermione, and even Ron pricked up his ears to listen to stories he had never known.

"Go on, Neville!"

After waiting for a while, finding that Neville hadn't continued, Harry urged with some anxiety.

"Uh-yes, I don't remember much about the rest of the day, it was when I was very young. I only remember that my grandmother told me that it was because of a contract, and one of the parties to the contract was these pure-blood families, and in order to maintain the existence of the contract, they had to leave the blood of pure-blood wizards, otherwise the contract would be invalid. ”

"And the accusation of the pure-blood wizard is to maintain the contract and protect the wizard's shijie."

Neville scratched his head and said with some embarrassment. After saying so much, Neville himself was very ashamed of the fact that he had forgotten the most important point.

“……”

Harry and Hermione were speechless, whetting their appetites, but halfway through they said they couldn't remember, what was it called.

"Forget it, it's almost enough to know this, it's none of our business anyway."

Hermione was the first to come out of her disappointment, she wasn't a pure-blood wizard anyway, these things had nothing to do with her, and it didn't matter if she heard the story, it didn't matter if she didn't know.

"Yes." Harry laughed freely.

"That's not right! It's true that it has nothing to do with Hermione, but I, Ron, and Harry have a relationship. ”

Although Neville is a little timid and timid, he is very firm in this matter, and he is also very proud of the name he inherited from the Longbottom family.

"Huh? What are you talking about, I don't know what a contract is! ”

Ron shouted as his glasses widened and looked at Neville in disbelief.

"yes, I didn't even know about wizards before I came here."

Harry also couldn't believe that he was a guy who grew up in Muggle Shijie, and that such an old contract could still implicate him.

"When, of course, if you look at that book, the Born Noble, Wizard Genealogy has the names of these pure-blood families who went out."

Neville argued with some annoyance.

"The name of a pure-blood family? Is my name still in there? ”

Harry turned his head to look at Ron, the confusion in his eyes that couldn't stop him from wanting to be consulted. He wanted to know more about his father, he was desperate to know about his family, and as an orphan he had been conjecturing about these things almost since he was a child, and now the answer seemed to be in sight.

"Hmm...... Saying that, I remembered, too. My family, the Weasleys, is said to have been one of the most powerful pure-blood families many years ago. No, it is one of the pure-blood families to this day, famous in the pure-blood genealogy. ”

"Of course, Harry, your father was also a pure-blood wizard. The Potter family is also one of the 28 pure-blood families, and the name of the Potter family is written on the wizard family tree. I remembered that I had read that book before, at a very young age. ”

Harry's jaws couldn't close a little, and he had been clamoring about the pure-blood family, but Zuihou realized that they were also members of the pure-blood family. The discovery was somewhat astonishing, and his nerves were numb.

More surprised than Harry was Hermione.

Now she realized that except for her, all her friends were actually descendants of famous pure-blood families, and everyone else was pure-blood wizards, and she was the only one who was a Muggle.

"Haha, this joke is really laughable. Okay, okay! I'll go to the library tomorrow and borrow that book. ”

Hermione didn't know what kind of mood she was feeling right now, but she felt like she couldn't stay here any longer. She stood up, shouting with some irritation and irritation.

"Show me then!"

There were so many "surprises" for Harry tonight, Malfoy's, Dumbledore's, Hogwarts's, and even his father.

Tonight, he's probably going to lose sleep again.
