Harry Potter: Who cares about belated motherly love?

Charlie asked Ron if he knew what would happen in the future.

"Well, this world may not be exactly the same as the original one," Ron replied.

"They should be pretty similar, though, right?" Charlie continued.

“Well, while the details may be different, if the overall trend is the same, then the future will usher in a transformation that is equal to, or even greater than, the Industrial Revolution.

It will be a very difficult time in maintaining the secrecy of the wizarding world.

The challenges in this regard will certainly exceed those of the Industrial Revolution.

Therefore, there should be no more fighting within the wizarding world.

If the wizarding world continues to fight among itself at this time, it will eventually be completely swallowed up by the Muggle world."

"What exactly?" Fred and George seemed excited.

“As you can imagine, technological change is going to be rapid.

Therefore, we must think seriously about how to coexist with the Muggle world.

If we don’t start preparing seriously now, it will be troublesome.”

Ron wondered how to explain these things.

"First of all, you know what a camera is, right? Just like the photo here, a camera records moving images.

In the future, 24-hour cameras will be installed across the country.

Currently, they may only be installed in places where security is needed, but in the future they will be expanded to the entire country and even installed in private homes and vehicles.

Although we can cast a Memory Charm on Muggles, will Muggle cameras be able to capture wizards?"

““Yes.””

Fred and George answered in unison.

"We have used magic to modify the Muggle electrical appliances in my father's collection. They function normally, and the scenes of wizards using magic are also filmed."

"Well, this is indeed troublesome. If such cameras are installed all over the country, it will not be a problem to deal with Muggles, but a problem to fight against the forgetfulness spell of the machine."

"It may be necessary to cast a spell on each wizard to avoid cameras. There are so many cameras that it is impossible to cast a spell on each camera one by one."

"Or just cast this spell as a side effect of using magic? However, the simplest solution is to try not to use magic in Muggle areas."

"Do you know computers?"

Fred shook his head and said:

"No, but I bought an engineering book in a Muggle bookstore and it mentioned it."

"That kind of thing is very expensive when purchased by an individual, right?"

I nodded:

“It will become smaller and more affordable.

Everyone can have it. At first it will be very large and only used at work, but in the future individuals will also have it, and its communication function will become as popular as a telephone. The world will change dramatically as a result.

You know the telephone? It's still connected by wires, but in the future it will communicate via radio waves, no longer relying on wires.

First came the portable cell phone, which will evolve.

Muggles will communicate via radio waves, and cell phones will combine the functions of computers and cameras.

Especially after 2000, this process will accelerate.”

“By then, virtual space on computers will expand and information will flow freely over radio waves around the world.

Thanks to the miniaturization of the equipment, anyone can take photos and videos anytime, anywhere and publish them instantly.

This can be easily achieved by children to adults.

As I mentioned earlier, the camera footage can even be viewed remotely.”

"The trouble is, once an image or photo is online, it cannot be deleted."

"Yes, that way anyone can easily copy the contents," Fred and George agreed.

"Yes, and through the photos or videos taken, it may be easy to determine the identity, and it can also be immediately found out whether it has been processed."

"However, if wizards are required to keep the camera under the effects of a Memory Charm at all times, so that Muggle eyes can see it but the camera cannot, that would be suspicious, wouldn't it? There needs to be some guidelines for wizards' actions in the Muggle world.

If you are seen using magic by Muggles, there will be problems even if you don't cast magic on Muggles.

I hope I won't be photographed secretly. Maybe I should always cast a forgetfulness spell, or absolutely forbid the use of magic in the Muggle world? Because the clothes are different, I need to pay attention when I go out.

After all, there are some Muggles who secretly take photos of people wearing fashionable or strange clothes."

Bill, Charlie, and Percy's expressions grew serious.

Bill said quietly, “It seems that hiding magic will become more difficult, and the Ministry of Magical Accidents and Tragedy may need to be restructured to consist mainly of Muggle-borns.

The department needs a complete overhaul and staff, even those who are not Muggle-born, must have a solid understanding of Muggle technology."

"An even scarier thing is that satellite cameras will allow anyone to access and view anywhere on Earth."

"Is it okay? Will Hogwarts be photographed? Will other magic-related facilities be safe?"

"The satellite cameras are now managed by the Muggle government, so it's fine for now, but I wonder if there's a forgetfulness charm for the cameras?"

"Inside Hogwarts, magnetic fields can interfere with the use of electrical appliances due to defensive spells and various other magic, but what about from the outside?"

"There is a forgetfulness spell, but what about from space?"

"Yes, the Ministry of Magic is still actually controlled by the pure-blood nobles, who cannot understand this.

To deal with this situation, more Muggle-borns may need to be activated.

Otherwise it is difficult to keep up with the pace of change. Even for Muggle-borns, the Muggle world will change dramatically in a short period of time while studying at Hogwarts.

The level of technology will improve significantly, and the knowledge within the magic world alone cannot keep up."

"Do you think magic power can be converted into this technology? That would be very convenient."

"There's one more thing I'm very worried about."

""What's up?""

"That would make it easier to take photos, wouldn't it? And satellite photos could also be used to find some mysterious places, right?

More and more people are going to visit ruins or haunted places in person, post videos online, and maybe even go explore those mysterious buildings.”

Fred and George both had 'oh no' expressions on their faces.

"That's not good."

"After all, don't wizards' houses and facilities look like ruins at first glance?"

"Yes, although there is magic to prevent Muggles from approaching, there are also some people who, although they do not have strong magic like the students going to Hogwarts, can resist this magic. These people have begun to take the initiative to go to these places. Even if their memories are modified on the spot, they are likely to be filming with cameras. Once the live broadcast is broadcast, it will be impossible to stop the spread. Hogwarts itself is like a castle with students inside. It looks like a school, but if there is no data leaking out, someone will definitely try to approach.

Moreover, they are unlikely to be able to get close, which would raise more questions and make Hogwarts more conspicuous. How is this managed? However, I think Hogwarts may have set up protection measures to prevent being photographed, so there is no need to worry too much, but I am more worried about Hogsmeade. If there is a mysterious town in the forest, it would be too unnatural. These issues need to be thoroughly investigated and announced.

Although I don’t like to go to those places myself, I like to see the photos and videos that others have taken when they went there.”

“This is not good. ”

"Right, brother."

"That's right, brother."

“We smell a fortune!”

Fred and George began discussing the magic trick of blocking the camera's footage.

"It seems that we need to develop magic to deal with the drastic changes in the Muggle world... At the same time, we also need to widely publicize it among wizards."

Bill asked seriously, "Ron, do you remember the companies that developed this technology?"

“Like I said, I’m not sure about the exact name, but I remember what kind of company it was in what field.”

"Even if the names are different, as long as we follow the original clues, we should be able to find similar companies, right? Then, it would be safer to appeal to the magic community around the world and invest in those promising companies one by one and become a major shareholder. In the Muggle world, money is omnipotent."

As expected of Bill, he knows everything at once.

I responded:

"That's a good idea, isn't it? That man also said he wanted to rule over Muggles, but if he rules directly, it will definitely cause resistance and even war.

Instead of doing this, it would be easier to control it with money.

As long as you don't use magic, the other party won't say anything, right? As long as you follow their rules, they won't interfere. The Muggle government won't object to paying huge taxes with the money you earn.

Of course, if you try to evade taxes, they may take action against you.

But it is better to avoid fights that can be avoided.

Wouldn't it be better to use this money to develop magic to deal with Muggle technological innovation, or to transform Muggle's convenient equipment into tools suitable for use by magic, or to study diseases unique to magic? The Muggle world will become as convenient as magic, or even more convenient than magic.

Therefore, if the magical community wants to develop while remaining completely secretive, they need to better integrate with Muggle-borns.

Compared to wizards who have been protected from the elements since childhood, Muggle-borns may understand the dangers of Muggle society better.

Therefore, the wizarding world should include more Muggle-borns.

Tolerance for Muggles and tolerance for Muggle-borns are two completely different things. I think the wizarding community should be more clear about their stance.

My advocacy is not intolerance or exclusion of Muggles.

I believe that we should accept Muggle technology to a certain extent, but at the same time add improvements that are unique to the magical community and use it for our own benefit.

At the same time, while keeping their existence secret, they avoid being absorbed by Muggles and maintain the independence of the magical race.

What should we call this position? It is neither complete tolerance nor complete exclusion, but I think we should draw a line between ourselves and Muggles.

If we simply reject Muggle society, we may end up being abandoned altogether in this state.

The worst case scenario is that not only will the magical community be abandoned, but they will also be quickly absorbed by Muggle society and eventually disappear.

Although the magic tribe still exists, the magic world may disappear."

Bill whispered, “So that’s it, they look similar, but they are actually completely different.

Tolerating Muggles and tolerating Muggle-borns who choose to remain in the wizarding world are different issues.

For the magical race, the most important thing to avoid is being swallowed up by the Muggle society, which has advantages in both numbers and technology.

In order to avoid this, we need to understand Muggle society while coming up with countermeasures to bring Muggle-borns onto our side.

But the current situation is that these two concepts are often confused.

Some pure-blood noble families privately conduct business in the Muggle world, trying to coexist with the Muggle world while also understanding the dangers of being overly encroached upon.

But once they publicly express this stance, they are immediately labeled as 'anti-Muggle' or 'Dark Magic' and are unable to express their views publicly.

The people who understand this the least are probably those pure-blooded magical people who, like their parents, have never had any contact with the Muggle world. They are often called Muggle advocates.”

"Besides, Dumbledore might be the pioneer of this position, right? As long as he is around, it will be difficult for the wizarding world to unite. If you think so, now is a good opportunity. Dumbledore may reappear in a few years, but his actions themselves are vague and it is difficult to hold him accountable. So, before that, we should unite and decide on the future direction, so that there will be fewer people supporting Dumbledore and Voldemort, right? For the future of the wizarding world, it is best for both of them to be gone. I completely agree with the position of the Shacklebolt faction, and they have made it clear, which is really courageous. This person must be very powerful to dare to speak so bluntly."

Fred and George continued their discussion:

"Indeed, Muggles are superior in technology."

"If engulfed by this trend, the wizarding world could quickly disappear."

"In this case, the pure-bloods' vigilance against Muggles is not entirely unreasonable."

"So either we have to completely eradicate the Muggles, or we have to try to rule them. But that's impossible, right? After all, there are too many Muggles, and the number of wizards is relatively small. Are these people who advocate pure-bloodism mentally ill?"

"We need to develop more advanced magic based on accepting Muggle technology."

"And that requires at least an understanding of Muggle technology."
