The Blood Curse at Hogwarts

Catalina was born in a Squib family, so she felt a little guilty when she heard this.However, she does come from the Dubrovsky family, and there is nothing wrong with including her in the ranks of the nobility.Hermione's lips were half-opened, speechless.She had always ignored the fact that her best friends were all from noble families.

Seeing that she was speechless, Chen Bin continued: "Aristocrats, like ordinary families, also have good people and bad people. But I can tell you clearly that the crime rate of aristocrats is lower than that of ordinary families because they have better education, With richer resources, you can get the life you want without committing a crime. Treating ordinary families as potential criminals is discrimination."

Hermione was about to refute, but Chen Bin waved his hand and said: "I know what you want to say, but the title of a noble is just a spontaneous title among the people, and it is a common practice. The royal family and the Ministry of Magic have not given them nobility. That is, It means that the way to obtain nobility is to make a contribution to society or to have an industry that can shake up the magical world. Incompetent or poor descendants dare not call themselves nobility. The Ministry of Magic organizes them to discuss the development of society."

After a pause, he once again said what Hermione was speechless: "So, the existing 28 holy tribes are the most prestigious nobles now, and each generation will be re-ranked due to changes in influence. For example , the Ollivander family is a new mixed-blood wizard family. With their excellent wand-making skills, they have become one of the three largest wand makers in Europe. Did he look down on you when you bought a wand?"

Hermione didn't answer, and the compartment fell into silence, with the only sound being the rattling of the train.After a long time, Hermione whispered: "But this is still unfair. Why can some people call Muggle-born people mudbloods?"

"Have you ever been scolded like this?" Chen Bin asked and Hermione nodded gently.

His eyes fell on Draco, but he whispered to Hermione: "Has Draco ever scolded you like this?"

"I am not a real noble and would not use such a vulgar name" Draco retorted loudly, which frightened Chen Bin.

However, when he looked at Hermione, he saw her shaking her head slightly.It seems that Draco has become much kinder in this life.

"Very good. Draco, you are a real nobleman." Chen Bin praised him and then said to Hermione: "To answer your previous question first, the world is unfair. Rich families need to pay a lot. Taxes, of course, will have objections to the Ministry of Magic. They will ask the Ministry of Magic to provide some positions to oversee the finances and the use of power in the right direction. For example, most of the expenses of Hogwarts come from taxes from the Ministry of Magic. Aristocrats whose status comes from the board of directors. When you become an elite, you will also become a member of the aristocracy. You can try to join forces with other aristocrats to change this society, but the prerequisite is that you must first become an elite and not harm the interests of other aristocrats. No one My family runs a charity hall."

"Second question, Mudblood is the name given to supporters of the blood theory. Although most nobles are pure blood, it does not mean that the nobles are also blood theorists. There are also blood theorists in the entire society, especially among powerful people. In the wizard group." Chen Bin's words aroused the interest of the three people, and he carefully explained the origin of the blood theory.

From the powerful magic in ancient times, the purer the blood, the more powerful it is, and it can defeat all magic with one force, to the modern magic that pays more attention to skills, is more instantaneous, is more suitable for over-mixed wizards, and is less powerful, etc.

Seeing everyone's surprised expressions, Chen Bin shrugged and said, "So, the bloodline theory is actually correct based on clinical experiments, but nowadays, even pure blood is only relatively pure blood, so this cannot be advocated. Magic has changed from the ancient one that can defeat all magic with one force to today's equal emphasis on skill and magic, but pure blood is still absolutely superior in power. However, today is no longer an era where a disagreement can cause the air to disappear in seconds. And people no longer have the ability, so opposition to bloodline theory has become mainstream.”

Then, he said to Hermione: "So, it is difficult to separate good from evil in this world, it's just different positions. If someone calls you a mudblood next time, you can complain to the professor and let him receive the punishment he deserves. However, It’s hard for you to say that this person is definitely a bad person. His family may have made significant contributions in the last fight against the Dark Lord, or he himself supports a poor pure-blood family. It’s just that everyone’s stance is different.”

Hermione found it difficult to accept this view and said something rebuttal.

Chen Bin knew that he could not convince her that society was complicated without a big move, so he had no choice but to say: "Hermione, have you ever heard of the country China in Muggle history classes or geography classes?"

Hermione didn't know what she meant and confessed: "I know. The third largest territory in the world, an ancient country with 3 years of civilization, one of the seven cradles of civilization, and four major inventions that have impacted the world."

After she said a lot, Chen Bin shook his head and said: "However, as far as I know, China has a history of 5000 years, and the available literary records are at least 600 years old. If the European Renaissance can be said to be a revival, , it is better to say that it plagiarized the culture, system and criminal law of the Ming Dynasty. Don’t deny it so quickly. Before the Renaissance, there were hundreds of books in cities and villages across Europe, not to mention tens of thousands, which is not bad, and most of them were Religious books rather than technical knowledge. Renaissance refers to returning to the original height, but what was their original state? During the Renaissance, their system was very similar to that of China, and all the goods from China became advanced technologies loved by the nobles. You can The European cultural relics of that period found in major museums are all Chinese-style, such as fans, screens, porcelain, paintings, etc., and even paintings of Chinese scenery and characters. For example, the Gallic rooster, the symbol of France today, did not exist in Europe at that time. This type of rooster is found only in China in the world."

Seeing that Hermione was confused, he continued: "I want to say that no country will worship other people's backward civilization. Various signs prove that during the Renaissance, Europe worshiped advanced China and had a great chance of carrying out large-scale Imitation and learning.

However, when Europe completely surpassed China in the 600th century, China's history was cut off for [-] years, and countless untested ancient Greek technologies and civilizations were created, which proved that Europe was actually strong and glorious, and even It is more powerful and born earlier than the ancient Chinese civilization.

The 600 years that were cut off were equivalent to [-]% of the Kingdom of England, and China's contribution to Europe was described as its own revival.

Is this repayment of kindness with vengeance? Qiyin novel.qiyinxs.

Not only that, the whole of Europe later invaded the world. All the powers robbed China of all its wealth, and almost dismembered Europe's benefactors. They also invented the white man's burden, colonizing you to bring civilization to you, and other fallacies.

You tell me, in the eyes of a Chinese like me, should I colonize back to avenge a century of humiliation and regard you descendants as the descendants of bandits?"

Having grown up in Muggle society, Hermione and Caitlina certainly knew what he was talking about.

Even Draco was as shocked as they were at the remark.

Chen Bin felt that the three of them were also shocked and began to tell the key points. "However, China will not do this. Their wise men know that if you fall behind, you will be beaten. Hatred is useless. It is the last word to develop your own strength. It is their responsibility to prevent the enemy from trampling on the country again. Goal. This world is inherently unfair, and the strong trample on the weak, but when we are strong, we only want to protect our own homes and don’t want to go out to cause trouble. Hermione, you think you are very peaceful and just, but from my standpoint On, you have drained the wealth of global civilization and then packaged yourself as civilized people. This is the difference in stance, so when I see you talking about the injustice of the aristocracy, and what big devil has emerged in the British and even European magic circles, I only put it They see it as different camps, and there is no such thing as good or evil, just different benefit recipients looking at the problem from different viewpoints."

Hermione was touched by Chen Bin's last words and quickly retorted: "But the mysterious man killed many people and broke many laws."

"The Ministry of Magic has also killed many people." Draco also heard the implication of Chen Bin's words and replied: "There are also forces from the Ministry of Magic that do not follow the law."

Hermione was helpless and saw that Caitlina was just watching the fun and had no intention of joining the discussion.

Chen Bin nodded to Draco and continued to talk to Hermione: "If I find the evidence that I just accused Europe of, do you agree that Europe should also compensate China?"

Seeing Hermione nodding, Chen Bin continued to ask: "If the amount of compensation needs to make you all go back to before the Renaissance, let alone having a toothache and not being able to see a dentist, even if you are sick, there is no medicine, and you can't fill your stomach, you Will you still support it?”

"It's impossible to pay that much," Hermione retorted fiercely.

"This is the position." Chen Bin smiled and shook his head: "Then, why do you ask the nobles who have already paid so much to pay more? How can you ask pure-blood families to believe that Muggle-born people are as noble as themselves, even if the magic power The lower level should have the same high rights."

Hermione was dumbfounded.

Chen Bin felt that she seemed to understand, so he concluded: "If you have different positions, you must use your strength to speak in the end. The same is true in the magical world, the Muggle world, and between countries. If you have different positions, you must use your strength to climb to a higher level." Position changes the world. There will be a lot of resistance in this process. If you are not strong enough for them, you can only compromise and assimilate them into your allies. If you cannot assimilate them, it means you are not strong enough to solve the problem. Don't complain about others blocking your progress, because they We all have our own positions, and no one’s position is more noble.”

The heavy topic came to an end, and Chen Bin began to talk about the nightmare life during the summer vacation. Draco and Hermione also talked about where they went to play during the summer vacation.Gradually, this sense of class exclusion disappeared in the box.

. . . . . .

Hogwarts, in the Great Hall, on the staff bench.

Chen Bin watched the new arrivals go through the sorting ceremony one by one, and enthusiastic applause and cheers erupted from the long tables of the four colleges. He felt that his mentality and body had grown a lot.

At least, he was not much shorter than Snape next to him, and much taller than Flitwick.

The growth of his mentality means that the professors have repeatedly told him not to cause trouble as a professor. He is no longer a student.

Chen Bin's lips twitched when he heard this, and he stared at the new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, Lockhart.This guy's ability to cause trouble is as good as Chen Bin's. If he can calm down, Chen Bin will eat it himself.
