Hogwarts: I am the White Lord

Chapter 177: Clearing the Name of Slytherin

The motive for leaving the secret room?

What is there to analyze?

Hasn't it been made clear? It's for the successor of the Chamber of Secrets to clean out the Muggle wizards.

The young wizards looked at each other and felt that the professor had said something nonsense.

Looking at the puzzled looks of the students, Sebastian said with a smile.

"If you want to analyze Slytherin's motives, you can't do without the social environment at that time."

"Ms. Granger, I remember you did very well in History of Magic last term."

"Then let me ask you, why did the four founders come up with the idea of ​​establishing Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry?"

Hermione answered without hesitation, "The textbook says that in medieval Europe, magic was often seen as the power of the devil."

"Once the Muggles discover that you are a wizard, you will be brutally killed."

"Because of the witch hunt, many witches live in fear all day long."

"Under these circumstances, the four founders decided to create a safe environment where young wizards could learn and grow in peace, away from persecution."

"Yes," Sebastian nodded, "In that era, the witch-hunting movement led by the church was very popular."

"Originally, there were court wizards in the royal families of various countries, but after theocracy completely overwhelmed imperial power, wizards were completely labeled as evil."

"That's because the existence of wizards is a complete blasphemy to theocracy."

The truth is actually very simple for the Muggle church.

Light was brought by God, fire was brought by God, water was brought by God, and even the food we eat every day was given by God.

They need to use the existence of God to control the beliefs of the lower-class Muggles.

As a result, the wizards' magic completely shattered this theory, which was completely unacceptable to the church.

So, the vigorous witch hunt began.

"In the face of witch hunts, adult witches still have the ability to resist and escape."

"However, for children, revealing their magical talent often means disaster."

"From childhood, Muggle children have been brainwashed that wizards are evil."

"So, in order to survive, after children show their magical talent, they will desperately suppress their magical abilities."

"Under such extremely repressed emotions, what is likely to happen in the little wizard's body?"

Hearing the professor's question, the crowd immediately responded: "Silent!"

"Yes," Sebastian nodded approvingly, "The Obscurus is an unstable, uncontrollable dark force."

"Many times, it would suddenly erupt, causing indiscriminate damage to the surroundings, and then disappear without a trace."

"The occurrence of these tragedies has made Muggles more convinced that wizards are the incarnation of the devil, and they will be more proactive in maintaining and promoting the witch hunt."

"So, the four founders stepped forward to bring shelter to wizards all over the world, and just like that, Hogwarts School came into being."

"You see, in the beginning, Slytherin had no objection to recruiting those Muggle students."

"The history of magic says that the disagreements among the founders emerged after Hogwarts was founded, and then more than ten years later, Slytherin completely parted ways with the others and left Hogwarts."

"Think about it, what kind of situation caused Slytherin to feel that Muggle wizards were unreliable and then oppose recruiting Muggle students?"

this......

The little wizards frowned when they heard Professor Swann's question.

All along, their impression of Slytherin was just an old lunatic who valued pure-bloods above all else, and they never thought about what caused Slytherin to have such thoughts.

What is the reason?

Without waiting for the students to answer, Sebastian spoke slowly.

"There is only one reason for such thoughts, and that is betrayal."

betray? !

When the students heard this word, they were very surprised.

They couldn't understand why the betrayal happened.

"The ideas instilled in us by the church since childhood are not so easy to change," Sebastian continued.

"Plus, when Hogwarts was first built, there were always wandering wizards causing trouble. It can be said that the fighting never stopped."

"This makes some Muggle wizards still think that wizards are evil even when they come to Hogwarts."

"In those days, there was no Ministry of Magic, nor any healthy wizarding community. Wizards all lived scattered among Muggles."

"After graduation, young wizards still have to return to the Muggle world to live."

“That’s when betrayal occurs.”

"But professor," a student asked in confusion, "what good will betrayal do them?"

"Let's look at this in light of the teachings of the Muggle Church," Sebastian said with a smile.

"The church says that fighting for God will cleanse you of your sins."

“Become a warrior of God and you will no longer be a sinner.”

"Under such circumstances, some weak-minded Muggle wizards will naturally want to throw themselves into the arms of the church and become servants of God."

Sebastian paused, then continued.

"There is another possibility. Since Hogwarts is a boarding school, the young wizards may not go home for many years. This is not so easy to explain."

"So when enrolling students, they needed to cast a forgetfulness spell on the Muggles around the young wizards to make them ignore this abnormality."

"However, there are always times of negligence. At this time, the church will threaten these Muggle wizards with the safety of their families."

"For the sake of their loved ones, they have no choice."

Sebastian's voice was a little heavy.

"Once they betray, they will do their utmost to help the church carry out its witch-eradication campaign."

"Due to their familiarity with wizards, it is often these traitors who contribute the most to the movement to eradicate witches."

"Just think about it. One day, Slytherin discovered that the people who supported the anti-witch movement the most were students who had graduated from Hogwarts."

"What kind of mood would he be in?"

"If you were a Slytherin, what would you do?"

After hearing the professor's analysis, the students fell silent.

No wonder Slytherin only trusts pure-blood wizards and is full of distrust towards Muggle wizards.

After all, only pure-blood wizards would not choose to betray the wizarding community.

If I were to put myself in Slytherin's shoes, I might be even more extreme than him.

"Unable to convince the other founders, Slytherin left a Chamber of Secrets behind."

"He wants to use the legend of this secret room to intimidate those little wizards with evil intentions."

Sebastian sighed.

"That was a sad era. Several founders were adhering to their own ideas and trying to make a living for the wizarding world in their own way."

"But, caught in the tide of the times, no one can tell what is right and what is wrong."

"They are all pioneers and can only grope their way forward."

"So, we should not stand on the moral high ground to judge the right and wrong of our predecessors."

Sebastian changed the subject and spoke earnestly.

"It's completely different now. The church has completely declined. No one wants to become a so-called servant of God."

"Don't let the sorrow of the past become your sorrow now."

Looking at the little wizards who were lost in thought, Sebastian clapped his hands to attract their attention.

"Don't worry too much about what happened yesterday."

"Next, I will lead the Auror training class to resolve this matter with all our strength."
