Hogwarts Life Guide

Roll Porter?

Tangning immediately thought that this person might be a relative of Harry... but he immediately realized that Potter was not a rare surname. There were many Muggles named Potter in the UK alone.It is said that it is for this reason that the Potter family was not included in the "Pure Blood Guide".

Professor Porter is an enthusiastic person, which is probably why Principal Boot sent him here.

Compared with the British Ministry of Magic, people wearing wizard robes have become rarer in the Magical Congress of the United States. When Tangning and others walked in the Congress, their clothes did not look out of place at all.

After leaving the gate of Magical Congress, led by Professor Potter, Tangning and Hermione took Professor McGonagall's hand and left with the help of Apparition, appearing at the foot of Mount Greylock in western Massachusetts, where Ilvermorny School is located on the top of the mountain. .Parked at the foot of the mountain was a carriage of some vintage pulled by two flying horses, waiting for their arrival.

On the way up the mountain, Tangning was surprised to find that Professor Potter might actually be Harry's distant relative.His most famous ancestor, Abraham Potter, was one of the original twelve Aurors founded by the Magical Congress of the United States of America. His ancestors came from a British magical family...but the two sides lost contact a long time ago.

The Twelve Aurors are well-known in the North American wizarding community. They fought on the front line against the Purifiers during the most chaotic times.

The Purifiers are something that must not be ignored in the history of magic in North America. They are a group of wizard mercenaries from different countries.

Since there was no form of magical government in the New World at that time, intruders were scattered like quicksand, and the indigenous wizards were unable to maintain order. Most of the magic they had inherited from generation to generation competed with the rapid casting of European mature wands.Without enforcers, the New World became the playground of the purgers who were the first to shape their own rules.

Regardless of whether they are criminals or not, as long as they can get a bounty, the Purifiers will choose to hunt them.Over time, these people became more and more corrupt and brutal.Eventually, they even began to sell witches, and even captured innocent No-Majs as witches and handed them over to the Puritans who hunted witches in exchange for payment.

Whether it is the No-Maj world or the magical world, the indigenous people are completely backward.In addition to Isolt Thayer's two adopted sons of the Bute family, Ilvermorny's first students were indigenous wizards who hoped to obtain wands. They exchanged their unique inherited spells for more mature and practical wands. .

Isolt completed the original capital accumulation of the school in this peaceful way.In front of the indigenous wizards, the wand in the purifier's hand is like a plug-in most of the time.

So when the indigenous wizards learned that someone could make a wand and opened a school willing to teach young wizards to use the wand, the result was predictable - there were a lot of followers.I don’t know if this should be considered an assist from the Purifiers.

Later, with the efforts of the Aurors, the Purifiers were tried and executed by the Magic Congress... and they were not stingy with the death penalty. In the end, only a small number of the Purifiers hid among the No-Majs.

Even in order to avoid detection, the children of their No-Maj partners with magical talents will be abandoned directly, leaving only No-Maj offspring.Because children with magical talents will be tracked, once someone investigates their origins...

Hogwarts has the Pen of Acceptance and the Book of Admission. When a child first shows magical talent, the quill will fly out of the inkwell and try to record the child's name in the Book of Admission.

Obviously, the powerful magic in pens and books cannot be exclusive to Hogwarts. It is conceivable that when MACUSA and Ilvermorny School develop and grow, they will have the ability to obtain and use this kind of magic to find new students. Wizard's magic.

Those hidden Purifiers...the vengeful ones among them, after being expelled from the magical world, will pass on their firm belief to their descendants: magic is real, and wizards should be eliminated once they are discovered!

These people play an important role in the history of wizard-No-Maj relations in North America.

For example, the Rappaport Laws, which had a profound impact on the connection between the wizarding world and the No-Maj world, are closely related to the descendants of the Purifiers.Um... Besides, this law has nothing to do with Porter, it's just that the person who created the law has the surname of Rappaport.

During an outing, the witch Dorcas Twelvetrees fell in love with a descendant of the Scourge named Bartholomew Barebone.Bartholomew firmly believed in the existence of magic and believed that all wizards were evil and should be eliminated.So he managed to extract a lot of magic-related information from Dorcas, including the location of the Magical Congress and the existence of Ilvermorny School, and made it public.

The leakage seriously violated the International Statute of Secrecy and immediately attracted the attention of the International Federation of Wizards.No-Majs gathered around MACUSA, prompting MACUSA to move again even though they couldn't see where it was.

……

The reason for the leak is related to love - this is probably the direct reason why Rappaport's law prohibits wizards from marrying No-Majs, which also directly led to Queenie Goldstein's inexplicable "sudden darkening" because of love.

……

When Tangning mentioned Harry's origin, Professor Potter showed great interest.He had heard of Harry Potter as the savior before, but who told Voldemort to only wreak havoc in Britain before?So just hearing about it, Harry is not considered famous here.

Unofficial exchanges between the wizarding communities of the two countries are far less in-depth than those between Muggles and No-Majs.For wizards in North America, Voldemort is more like a story and a symbol of terror.They were just spectators to the wizarding war in Britain more than ten years ago.

Just like when Grindelwald disrupted North America and swept the entire European continent, when he was at his strongest, the British mainland was not affected at all. Most ordinary wizards in the British magical community who were not affected were not too nervous.

Therefore, if the war against Voldemort starts again, then this will be the second Wizarding War that Britain has experienced.Grindelwald's war was not a war for the British wizarding community, although the Ministry of Magic also participated to a limited extent.

Professor Potter also told some stories about the original twelve Aurors of the Magical Congress.Compared with the number of Purifiers, the original Aurors were weak. When they voluntarily joined the ranks of Aurors, they were already mentally prepared to sacrifice their lives.

Among the twelve Aurors, only two lived to old age. Unfortunately, Abraham Potter was not among these two, which shows the cruelty of those years.Therefore, the legacy of the Twelve Aurors benefits future generations, making it easier for them to become respectable Aurors.

"Perhaps you really should ask Harry Potter for a pair of family trees..." Tangning was cautious and did not reveal that Harry was the only surviving member of the British Potter family.

As far as Tangning knew, the Potter family had been passed down for several generations. Harry's father, James Potter, was a latecomer. Before Harry was born, his grandparents died of illness one after another.

Thanks to Sirius for not being too strict, otherwise Tangning wouldn't have had the chance to know about these things.

Tangning felt a little emotional. He suddenly thought that the key to a magical family's growth was to spread its branches. Like the Weasley family, any pure-blood glory is actually empty...
