Harry Potter: Who cares about belated motherly love?
Chapter 86 Going to China to Study at University
"Sure enough, it is necessary to go to the university over there."
"With the sales of magic tools like that, it shouldn't be a problem, right?"
"Where do you want to go?"
"By the way, Ron, which country do you think is good?"
It looked like Fred and George had decided to go to a Muggle university.
"How about America? It seems to suit your personalities. Russia's technology is not bad, but it is mainly controlled by the military, so it is difficult for foreigners to learn anything. However, the famous schools in the United States are almost all private, and the tuition is ridiculously high. Unlike the UK, as long as you are smart enough, your background is not important. In fact, I remember in my previous life, there was a British man who was rejected because he showed a lack of confidence in the interview at Oxford or Cambridge, just like someone who graduated from a public school. However, he was admitted to Harvard with a full scholarship, which caused a lot of controversy at the time because such a smart talent was lost.
However, British Muggle society is a completely class society.
Class is even more important in Britain than in the wizarding world, due to the existence of the Royal Family and the power they hold to grant noble titles.
So I think America would be more suitable for you.
However, if you want to build relationships among the British aristocracy, then the UK is also a good choice.
But I think this is what pure-blood nobles are doing.
Or, if you want to learn a completely different theory of magic, why not go to China?
China's religion and culture are very unique, and the way it studies the magic system is completely different from that of the UK.
However, the magic system there may only be usable by the Chinese."
"Where is 'China'?"
"It is a great country in the Far East."
“The United States can still understand it, but China is a little surprised.
But it is true that China has a unique cultural system, and it can be said to be a large-scale pure-blood country. "
Charlie explained that he had said he wanted to work overseas.
Fred and George looked confused, so Charlie went on to explain.
“Other Asian countries mainly study black magic similar to the taboos here, but that country (China) not only absorbed its own gods, but also introduced many foreign gods to form a unique religious system.
Of course, there are some techniques that use human lives, but in that country, different lands have different gods, and people usually believe in them.
This is different from the gods we have here, and may be more like what we call elves.
In short, they call all such beings gods, whether good or bad.
Although they are not always aware of their strong faith, they visit their ancestors regularly.
It seems that Muggle beliefs can also be transformed into magical power, but usually only the Chinese or local residents can receive the favor of the gods.
In addition, they not only value the bloodline of magical families, but Muggle bloodline is also important.
So, the whole country is a bit like a purist society.
The boundary between the wizarding world and the Muggle world is not as clear as it is here.
Although it's quite interesting, there don't seem to be many job opportunities for foreign wizards.
However, as far as I know, each family has its own unique magic and familiars, and some families even have ancestral patron saints, which is quite interesting.
Because there was no persecution there like there was for Christianity, they integrated well with the Muggles.
From a Christian perspective, it was probably a country close to devil worship.
In Europe, many ancient magical systems were persecuted as 'devil worship' and are now rare.
So I really wanted to go check it out.”
“Yes, I was stationed there for a few years in my previous life. The food is delicious, the city is clean, the culture is unique, and the level of science and technology is high. It is a very magical country.
The Chinese say they have no particular religious beliefs, but they often visit ancestral tombs and temples.
It is interesting that they insist that they do not believe in anything in particular, but they believe in the existence of gods and Buddhas.
All in all, the food was delicious.
According to the Chinese, Britain is the country with the worst food in the world, but I think there is some truth to that given how delicious Chinese food is.
Back to the topic, I support you going to a Muggle university, but I don’t support you going to the same university.
After all, you will always be together in the future, so wouldn’t it be better to separate during college, learn different subjects, build different connections, and even learn to cherish each other’s existence?”
"Indeed, that makes sense!" Bill, Charlie and Percy nodded in unison.
"Why?!" Fred and George protested in unison.
"Because you always want to do the same thing," Charlie said.
"Yeah, you guys always try to look exactly the same," Percy added.
"When you were little, you were a little different. Although it is understandable that twins like to do the same things, you are two independent people after all, and it is important to acknowledge each other's differences," Bill said.
“We acknowledge our differences.”
“We got close based on our understanding of each other.”
"I just think it's fun to see other people can't tell who we are."
Sure enough, they really thought so.
“But we will definitely choose different departments in college.”
"Indeed, different countries may broaden our horizons and build connections. We not only want to learn Muggle knowledge, but also the magic of that country."
"If you go abroad, you will feel uneasy alone."
“Yeah, we’ve always been together.
Ah, so you're saying we should try to separate for a while..."
"Well...it's true. Usually everyone enters Hogwarts alone and is sorted into different houses, but we have decided to go to the same house."
“Yeah…that’s right.
But we are still in the same college.
Let’s make a decision based on the situation, brother.”
"Okay, brother!"
Yes, it’s important to go it alone.
“But then we still need to build some organizational systems.
If I study at a Muggle university or graduate school and bring that knowledge back to the wizarding world for research, it would be more efficient to conduct research in a large research institute rather than working alone.
As I mentioned earlier, how about using the money earned from investing in Muggle businesses to build a research institute like this? A research institute that applies Muggle technology to the wizarding world and develops it?
Going further, you can also study more advanced magic.
If the wizarding world evolves far beyond what it is now, what will it become? Will it move towards controlling Muggles? However, if it is far ahead, people might think that Muggles should be left to their own devices. Controlling them is too troublesome, and no one would be willing to make the effort.
After I said this,
"Indeed, the current level of technology in the wizarding world is even more backward than that of the Muggles."
"If I can surpass them, the desire to control them might disappear, after all, I won't have the sense of superiority anymore."
"Yes."
"Then we might be looking down upon the Muggles fighting again."
Fred and George agreed. This possibility is high.
“Perhaps, the vanity of the purists will be satisfied and they will become more honest.
However, we cannot rule out the possibility that there will be wizards who want to conquer Muggles. This is still uncertain.
Conversely, Muggles may start a war against us because they are jealous of our technology, but they will not act rashly if our technology is far ahead.
War requires a legitimate reason, and as long as we don't reveal our flaws, there is nothing to worry about.
Until then, the people of the noble families will have to play the role of nobility and deal with it skillfully."
"If you want to set up a research institute, Ron, how are you going to do it?"
“Well, the key is talent acquisition.
Experts in Muggle technology. Initially, they can be selected from wizards who are already employed in the Muggle world, or they can provide scholarships to allow outstanding students to learn technology there and then bring it back.
It is impossible for a research institute to be established overnight, so it is possible to select potential talents according to their fields and train them in advance.
If the goal of establishing a research institute is clear, they will be more attentive in learning and collecting information.
Not only that, but experts in magic are also needed. Although they don't know much about Muggle knowledge, their skills are basic.
Reclusive wizards who are not suitable for teaching can be called upon to concentrate on research.
Additionally, experts in ancient magic, or people who are naturally adept at certain types of magic, can be recruited in an attempt to popularize that magic.
In the realm of magic alone, there are countless things we can do.
In my opinion, wizards are somewhat conservative.
This may be a helpless move, but if we don't open up a little bit and share information, the development of magic will come to an end, right? If a good wizard disappears, his magic is likely to be lost with him.
In order to restore this magic, we have to start researching from scratch, what a waste of time.
Why not combine the existing magic and aim for a higher realm?
The content of the courses at Hogwarts rarely changes. It would be best if the courses were updated every few years.
It would be great if the research results could be better applied to teaching.
Basic courses are taught by Hogwarts teachers, but it would be better if experts from those research institutes could teach new magic.
This will also make it easier for teachers.
Not all wizards with magical powers can go to Hogwarts, right? I think there should be a school dedicated to learning Muggle technology.
I heard that these wizards have difficulty finding jobs, right? Wouldn't it be great if they learned something useful for the wizarding world? After all, they are also members of the wizarding world, so there should be nothing to worry about.
Also, if they have job opportunities, public security will improve, right?
The ultimate goal is to establish an institution of advanced research and education that far surpasses Muggle universities.
It will cost a fortune, but pharmacy, medicine, and engineering are certainly necessary.
And, um… you said the mystery would be reduced.
But as technology improves, spiritual places may become more popular and people will flock to them.
If these places are truly spiritual, we should buy them.
In the future, people will pay more and more attention to nature protection. We can ban entry to these places under the banner of environmental protection organizations. Most Muggles will be fooled by this.
To do this, we need to find people who can see elves. Once we find such people, we can use the money we earn to buy these places.
Also, the UK will welcome a large number of immigrants from the Middle East, and churches will be converted into mosques.
Before that, can we acquire those old churches and abandoned monasteries?"
"Well, a church. The older the place, the more likely it is to be built on an ancient Aboriginal belief site."
Charlie murmured,
"Yes, there may have been elves in those places, and they may still exist now..."
Percy continued.
“That’s it. So, there are actually a lot of things you can do if you want to.
But ultimately we have to start by reforming Hogwarts."
"Before, the Ministry of Magic couldn't interfere with Hogwarts and couldn't get involved at all.
But now that Dumbledore has abdicated, this is an opportunity for the adults.
I hope they can try hard, after all, the Ministry of Magic should be a little more normal.
At Hogwarts, there are also some students who study on their own in order to enter Muggle universities, and some even form clubs to study together.
However, once you encounter a problem that you don’t understand, the situation becomes troublesome.
So, it would be nice if study tutors like this existed.
For example, setting up after-school tutoring classes or holding lectures on holidays would be of great help..."
Bill told us about the interior of Hogwarts.
"There are still people going to a Muggle university...
In this way, different course directions can be divided based on the OWL exam.
For those planning to return to the Muggle world, the NEWT exam is obviously redundant.
Perhaps there could be several course options, such as a course that focuses on Muggle studies, a course that also takes magic into account, or just stick with the existing course.
For those who choose to double major, scholarships are available to help them attend college.
If they bring back the research results of the Muggle world and continue to develop in the wizarding world, it also means that they need to have excellent performance in magic, right? Although they don't necessarily need to be genius wizards, they must at least be excellent wizards, right? Of course, there may be some people who are mediocre in magic, but geniuses in Muggle learning. "
“Although this idea is idealistic, considering the current situation where there are not enough magic teachers, this is probably just a distant dream.
I want to open a club not only for Muggle learning, but also for magic learning.
But even if you want to set up a club, you need a mentor, but there are very few teachers now, so it is actually difficult to do more activities than now.
Even if we cannot group classes, if we can make club activities more active, there will be more communication between students from different colleges.
There are many empty classrooms, so the space is not a big problem, but the number of teachers is far from enough.
What's more, slackers like the drunkard teacher don't count at all, so the number will be even smaller."
Bill sighed. There are so many problems in Hogwarts.
"Has the Ministry of Magic's budget really been used properly in the past...? This weekly magazine says 'under investigation'... The article also says that the current management is so chaotic that it is difficult to figure out the actual operating status. The person in charge of the investigation said that this management is not like a sieve, but more like a rotten frame... It's really exaggerated...
But aren't the Ministry and the Council also partly responsible for allowing this situation to continue? They should have intervened more deeply. But they tolerated this kind of management.
Although I don't think that Dumbledore, who has a strong sense of justice, would embezzle Hogwarts' funds for his own benefit, it does not rule out the possibility that he would spend the budget on things that should not be used for the sake of what he believes to be justice.
People who are truly obsessed with their own justice are often the most troublesome.
I don’t think the justice he upholds is absolutely correct, but it can’t be said to be wrong either…”
The staff members who are investigating at Hogwarts right now must be having a hard time... I hope they can complete the investigation successfully.
"The adults will probably investigate this matter next. This is the job of the adults."
Bill said decisively.
Well, indeed, this is a matter for adults.
