Civilization and Harmony Hogwarts

"Al, what do you think of Muggles?" Gellert lay flat on his back on the green grass, with his hands behind his head, and his slightly raised eyes allowed him to clearly see a few chasing and playing in the distance. Muggle kid.

"Muggle?" Albus sat next to Gellert, with one leg propped up, looking intently at his boyfriend's face. After hearing Gellert's question, Albus followed his gaze Looking forward, I also saw the Muggle child in front of me.

Albus thought for a while, then said, "Muggles are powerful, I think."

The fact that Albus differed from the prevailing opinion in the wizarding world immediately made Gellert turn his head to look at Albus.

Facing Gellert's gaze, Albus said slowly: "We discussed the "Secrecy Act" before. It is actually a kind of compromise and self-deception for wizards to Muggles."

Gellert nodded approvingly.

"A long time ago, wizards were afraid of Muggles swarming up because of the gap in numbers." Albus recalled some books his mother brought from the Muggle world, "but the times are developing, and Muggles are constantly catching up with the past. .”

"Most of us wizards are always complacent that they have mastered magic, thinking that they can do many things that Muggles can't do, and enjoy life that Muggles can't enjoy at all, but—"

Albus's tone gradually became serious and low: "Gail, do you know? The Muggles had a great development decades ago. They called it the Industrial Revolution."

"The Muggles invented and improved a machine called a steam engine, which burns gasoline and coal to generate steam as a power source. They use the steam energy to transform the production method and generate greater economic value with less labor."

"They also use steam energy to invent steam ships that can carry a large number of people and goods across the ocean and steam locomotives between the two places. Ms. Ottaline Gamble, the former Minister of Magic, in order to solve the problem of 'how to ensure Hundreds of students safely arrive at Hogwarts every year without attracting the attention of Muggles', she proposed to use the train as a safe and comfortable means of transportation to replace the original portkey and other unsupervised way of traveling.”

"It was really a bold attempt, but as you can see, instead of using Portkeys and Apparation, the little wizards sat comfortably on the train, talking to their friends about the holidays, and the new students could get to know each other in advance. Some friends, if it were you, how would you choose?" Albus asked Gellert back.

"Well—" Gellert pondered, "It's not in a hurry to go to school, of course it's how you feel comfortable."

Gellert thought of Durmstrang's way of enrolling, and then thought about the warmth and comfort on the Hogwarts Express train, and decisively chose to support Hogwarts!

(Afu: Happy! Our Hogwarts is indeed the greatest magic school!!!)

"The lives of Muggles are getting better. One day, their daily life may be simpler than that of wizards." Albus thought, "Their transportation is well developed, and they can eat whatever they want in the market in the future." Buy it, no matter how far away it is.”

"They have new energy sources and can weave fabrics more quickly. Then one day, they may invent machines that automatically make clothes, and machines that automatically cook and clean..."

Gellert thought about what Albus said carefully, and felt that according to the population of Muggles, the number of geniuses appearing is very considerable. As long as they are still creative, then the things Albus speculated will eventually appear.

"But the power of Muggles goes far beyond this." Albus changed the subject, "We should pay more attention to their weapon manufacturing."

"Weapon?" Gellert replied. "A Muggle shotgun? It does kill a lot."

Gellert remembered the Muggle weapons he had studied some time ago: "I am really surprised by the research of Muggles on lethal weapons."

"That's right." Albus nodded in agreement, "After my father came into contact with Muggles before, because he had no concept of money and spent a lot of money, the other party thought that Dad was a low-key member of a big family, so they warmly invited him to join some clubs. .”

"There's a club for gun lovers in there."

"The power of guns is really powerful." Albus recalled the scene in his memory, and said, "A normal wizard needs to say a spell and wave a wand to cast a spell."

"A small number of powerful and talented wizards can cast spells silently. Of course, even ordinary talented wizards, if they have a deep understanding of a certain spell, it is not impossible to cast spells silently." Albus waved his wand, his lips pursed, and a slow puff of white mist appeared from the tip of the wand.

Orchids are in bloom.

The mist condenses, forming a bouquet of flowers at the tip of the wand.

Gellert reached out to touch the bouquet of flowers on the tip of Albus's wand, then got up, leaned over to Albus, with the tip of his nose approaching, not sure if he was sniffing the scent of flowers or chasing Albus's smell.

Albus indulged Gellert's behavior, and subconsciously thought of the red rose that Gellert sent that night.

That magic rose was worthy of its high price, and it was still blooming enthusiastically in the vase in the room before going out today.

Albus stretched out his other hand, touched Gellert's blond hair, and continued: "However, only a very small number of powerful wizards with strong magic power and superb skills can get rid of the existence of the wand and cast spells without a wand. "

As he said that, on the palm of the hand that Albus had just touched Gellert's hair, a bouquet of flowers similar to the tip of the wand appeared.

It's a pity that the "Orchid Blossom" cast without a stick didn't last long before it slowly disappeared.

"Look, Gail, even if the wandless casting is successful, it is far behind silent casting and normal casting in terms of power and duration."

"If a Muggle and a wizard face each other, whether the wizard is waving a wand or chanting a spell, it will give the Muggle a chance to react. Most spell releases are directional, that is, the location of the target is first determined before casting the spell."

"But Muggles are not stumps, they can run too. Wait for them to avoid the spell, and then raise the pistol and give the wizard a shot."

"The power of casting spells without a wand has been greatly weakened. Wizards have limited mana reserves, and Muggle firearms can continue to attack as long as they have enough ammunition. Even..." Albus withdrew his wand, "Guns are just Muggle weapons. They also have more powerful bombs and shells."

"Muggles are really dangerous, aren't they?" Gellert looked up at Albus seriously.
