Harry Potter: Who cares about belated motherly love?

The twins had heard about my views a long time ago, but the two oldest brothers had never discussed them in detail.

Bill looked at me in surprise:

"Ron, you are the type who tends to take in Muggle-borns as partners."

I nodded:

“Indeed, the number of pure-blood nobles was small to begin with, and their number has further decreased after the Magic War. If this continues, the future of the wizarding world will become bleak.

The Weasleys are an exception, there are many of them, but the number of other pure-blood families that are considered famous is surprisingly small. "

Percy said with some concern:

"So, the magic race is close to extinction."

I don't think this is impossible. The strongest point of Muggles is their ability to learn. Once they discover the existence of wizards on a large scale, they will quickly master magic and powerful magical powers.

By then, coupled with the technological advantage, it will be difficult for the magic clan to have any advantage.

But vice versa, if a far-sighted hero emerges in the magic clan... the result is really unimaginable, a perfect fusion of magic and technology.

So I'll be honest:

"Well, that is indeed very possible. Although I understand the idea of ​​keeping the bloodline pure, insisting on doing so blindly may lead to extinction. The most powerful race in the world is produced by constant fusion, and inbreeding is already very common in the magic world. Once an epidemic breaks out, the entire army may be wiped out."

Bill thought:

"Actually, a few years ago, there was a disease called dragon pox that only the magical race could be infected with. At that time, many pure-blooded nobles died because of it... and the purer the bloodline, the more uniform the bloodline structure of the family, the higher the mortality rate. It was probably between the birth of the twins and Ron. I remember that many heads of famous families died at that time, and the terrifying Dark Lord was causing chaos everywhere. It was really chaotic."

Bill told me about the wizarding world, which was unfamiliar to me.

When I was at home, the atmosphere was relatively closed, so I didn’t know much about the outside world.

My mother often buys magazines and weekly magazines, and she doesn't throw away the old ones, but she gets unhappy if I touch her things.

So I only read it when Percy was reading it.

"Well, scientific research should be the priority, right? The number of children is decreasing, isn't it? It's more important to prioritize these, right? What are those idiots in the Ministry of Magic doing? Why are they still fighting among themselves?"

"But for a disease that only infects the magical race, can Muggle-borns also be infected after mastering magic? We should do more research on these issues.

Muggles also have a disease called smallpox, but dragonpox is different from smallpox, right? Wouldn't magical people be infected with that disease?

Can we use the same method as the smallpox vaccine to develop a dragon pox vaccine? Why not consider borrowing from Muggle medical methods? When the time comes, everyone in the wizarding world will be vaccinated. Well, we can develop it and make a fortune then..."

Fred and George immediately became excited when I suggested this.

Percy smiled bitterly:

"I don't know. Maybe Muggles and magical people are fundamentally different. Then which category do Muggle-borns belong to? This is indeed worth studying."

"The current standards are vague. If they are really different, there should be clear basis, so that the effect of the drug will be different."

"Purists should present these evidences more clearly. They have plenty of money, so why don't they lead the research?"

"They only talk about abstract things, and every day they either admire peacocks or hold dances, so it's easy to be seen as discrimination."

"If they could argue that this is differentiation rather than discrimination, the two factions wouldn't be so deadlocked."

"But there is no such research going on right now, right? Although there may be people doing research privately, even if we only talk about diseases, Muggles and wizards are indeed different, but no one knows how exactly they are different."

"It is unbelievable to leave dragon pox alone. What were the Minister of Magic and Dumbledore thinking when dragon pox first started spreading? So many pure-blood family heads died! If it was a disease unique to the magical community, the Ministry of Magic should have led the research, or the purists could have led the research. In doing so, ordinary people in the magical community would have respected them more. "Pure-blood nobles are indeed different." "Would everyone say so?"

"But isn't it because they have no confidence in themselves that they exclude Muggle-borns? It's just like an elementary school student bullying a genius transfer student."

After I said this, Fred and George wondered:

""What's the meaning?""

“Because, if you exclude someone, it’s usually because they’ve invaded your territory and you feel you can’t defeat them, either in terms of strength or knowledge.

This means that you actually admit in your heart that the difference in strength between you is not that big, right? That's why you don't dare to study these things in depth, and can only despise each other through words.

If you can use some ancient magic that Muggle-borns cannot master, or an elven contract passed down from generation to generation in your family, or if you can use elven magic, then do you still need to care about Muggle-borns?

Instead, you should demonstrate these powers and tell them "This is the true strength of a pure-blood noble!"

But the problem is that the nobles can't do it, right?

Without Muggle-borns, the nobles wouldn't even have anything to show off to, wouldn't that be boring?"

"Although we are pure blood, we can't use these magics." Charlie interrupted.

“Yes, that’s the problem.

In fantasy novels in the Muggle world, the four elements - fire, water, wind, and earth - are very common settings.

It is also common practice to sign contracts with spirits of these attributes and use magic.

But what is the reality? So far, I have never seen any wizard use the magic of fire, water, wind and earth spirits. Why? "

"Elf magic itself is ancient magic, Ron," said Fred.

George also added:

"Yes! In fact, ancient documents mention that many wizards in the past could see elemental spirits. Although magical creatures are living beings and are classified as a type of fairies, elves are higher life forms and do not have physical bodies. Wizards who can see them directly with their eyes are very rare."

I said:

"Those dwarves in my garden are also elves, but they are completely different from what I imagined..."

Fred explains:

"Those are magical creatures, not the same as the elves in the legend."

I answered, "I have never seen an elf."

Charlie suddenly seemed to realize something and said:

"Can't magical creatures see elves? Although the dwarves in the garden may not answer, smart magical creatures like house-elves or goblins, can't they tell us? And magical creatures like centaurs, they can also talk."

"Indeed, although scholars are studying the ecology of magical creatures, few people ask them about elves. After all, it is unlikely that they can get any answers from magical creatures since they cannot see them themselves," George replied.

I felt a little strange, so I asked:

"But can't they perform magic without a wand? Where does their power come from? At least, their magic should be different from ours, right? In Muggle stories, goblins usually live underground, and the image of the goblins in Gringotts fits this setting very well.

In addition, I also feel that the characteristics of family inheritance should be more clearly marked. For example, the family tree should state what magic system the family is good at, but the existing family tree books only record bloodline, which makes people feel extremely boring.

I had thought these books were reference books to help us determine if our ancestors' magical systems conflicted with one another, but they are anything but.

Oh, by the way, the blond man in this photo is Mr. Lucius of the Malfoy family. He looks like the elf I imagined, not like a house elf, but a forest elf. He should be good at elven magic, right? Doesn't he know how to use it?

Also, didn't Dumbledore have a phoenix? I read in the book Percy showed me that having a phoenix was a rare thing.

So I guess Dumbledore's ancestors may have made a contract with the fire elves."

Speaking of this, I seem to remember something:

"By the way, where is Dumbledore's phoenix now?"

Bill shook his head and said:

"No one has seen it since Dumbledore was arrested."

"Hmm... That's strange. But if it doesn't come to save him, then it doesn't matter. Isn't it with his (Dumbledore's) brother?"

"…the one who cast the Unforgivable Curse upon the goat…"

Bill probably thought it was not suitable for children to read, so he took the newspaper away.

"It doesn't seem to be with his brother?"

"Is it really safe for such a person to stay in Hogsmeade? However, if he is only interested in goats, it should be safe for the students..."

Bill gave me a look to stop discussing Aberforth Dumbledore, and I stopped.
