[HP] How to properly feed the savior

Chapter 122 The Half-Blood Prince 13

When he was about to go to class the next day, he realized that Riddle was blocking the door.

"Get out of the way." He felt angry when he saw this guy early in the morning.

"Please, listen to me. I know I was wrong, so please forgive me this time. Don't be angry, okay?" The other party blocked his way by holding on to the wall.

"I have to go to class." He said angrily, "Get out of my way."

"Trust me, I never meant to make things difficult for you, I just thought it would be better for both of us. I'll talk it over with you next time, okay? I'll respect your opinion, I swear, you gotta give me a chance……"

"I'm not angry with you." He interrupted the other person's words, "I'm just angry that I misread you. I thought you had really lofty ideals, but you only considered your own selfishness."

"I am indeed such a person." The other party said without shame, "My selfishness is that you can stay by my side. Do you want to blame me for this?"

"What you think is that I still have value to use, and I can't let go until I'm drained." What he hates the most is being deceived and used by others, and now he has both. "Go find someone else who hasn't seen your true face, I'm tired of it."

He pushed him away, but Riddle grabbed his wrist instead. "I really care about you. I admit that you are very useful to me, but this is not the most important thing. This is not the reason why I don't want you to leave. Well, I don't ask you to forgive me, I just ask you to give me more A chance, and I'll prove it to you..."

"I don't need your proof. What you want has nothing to do with me. Now, let go!" He pulled out his wrist forcefully, but the other party's grip was so tight that he was not allowed to break free at all.Let loose!He chanted a spell silently in his heart, and the other party seemed to be pushed out by an invisible force, and he was forced to let go of his wrist.

"You attacked me?!" Riddle slammed into the wall behind, with anger turning from embarrassment on his face, "How dare you attack me?"

He looked at each other helplessly.He didn't mean it, he just wanted the other party to let go, it was just a silent spell, he didn't know it would be so powerful. "I'm sorry," he said softly, and ran out quickly.

All the way to the auditorium, the students were gathering in small groups for breakfast, Hermione waved to him, he walked over and sat down beside Harry.

"Where have you been? I didn't see you when I got off the train yesterday." Seeing him running out of breath, Harry fetched a piece of toast for him and spread peanut butter on it. "Don't be so anxious, Professor McGonagall is still distributing the schedule."

"You're a celebrity now, and the Daily Prophet has been reporting on you for the past two days." Hermione handed him the paper, with the headline "International Statute of Secrecy Facing Major Crisis: International Wizengamot Condemns US Ministry of Magic for Leaking Secrets" ". "They got into a quarrel. The International Wizengamot thinks that the U.S. Department of Magic shouldn't leak the information that you are a wizard to Muggles, but the U.S. Department of Magic believes that maintaining information exchanges with Muggle leaders is in the supplementary regulations of the International Statute of Secrecy It was allowed. After they released your photo, someone claimed to have seen you at King’s Cross train station in London yesterday morning, and there were more than one witnesses. This can’t be explained, right, 5 minutes ago in a heavily guarded military area, Hanging out at another country's train station 5 minutes later. So the president of the Muggles approached the officials of the US Ministry of Magic and asked them to confirm if this was a mess from the wizarding world. They thought it was a major security threat to Muggles , much more serious than the Brockdale Bridge incident. Then, according to the supplementary regulations of the Secrecy Act, the U.S. Department of Magic believes that the Muggle President has the right to know."

"To be honest, what secret did you steal to cause such a big mess?" Ron asked in a low voice. "It's spread all over the school, there are all kinds of versions. Harry explained to us last night what is the Internet and what is hacking, but he can't explain other things."

"Where's Tom? It's rare to see him not with you." Harry looked around, "I know you guys are studying that...quantum physics, but I didn't think you could actually make something! Newspaper Is it true? You took a quantum computer with you?"

"It's in the Response Room, prepared for DA's activities." He looked worriedly at the thick layer of peanut butter on the toast, feeling a sense of indigestion. "I don't know what those secrets are, they have been deleted. I just use the US national security system to test the computing speed of the new computer."

"I really admire you." Hermione shook her head helplessly. "You almost caused a world war. The U.S. Ministry of Magic and the British Ministry of Magic condemned each other. The U.S. Ministry of Magic believes that the U.K. side should keep underage wizards in check and not allow them to use magic outside of school, let alone go to other countries' territory The abuse of magic on the Internet. The British believe that the Americans should implant new memories into those Muggles and cover up this matter instead of reporting it to Muggles."

"But the truth can't be covered up, can it? Muggles don't know the truth, but they record what happened. When there are more and more unexplained records like this, they must suspect that there is something beyond Muggle-knowledge exists on Earth and creates these mysteries. Muggles just don't know what wizards are like, but that doesn't mean they don't notice wizards exist." He pondered the message of the documents. "Why does the Secrecy Act have supplementary regulations that allow Muggle leaders to know the existence of wizards and even some important events? I mean, if Muggles know that there is a group of extremist wizards who want to enslave Muggles, or even Erased from the world, it's hard for them not to be hostile to wizards, right? And according to the supplementary regulations, the British Prime Minister obviously knows what the Death Eaters are doing in Britain."

"Well, I happened to go to the library in the morning to learn about the formation of the secrecy law." Hermione cleared her throat.Ron rolled his eyes, showing a "this guy really knows everything" expression. "Before the Act of Secrecy was passed, wizards and Muggles had a very close relationship. This connection cannot be severed by a single law. Therefore, the Act of Secrecy has also undergone a strengthening process, and there will be special supplementary clauses according to different countries. As far as the situation in 1692 is concerned, the stronghold of wizards, the European continent and the British Isles, the aftermath of the religious reform has not subsided, and this religious reform is not so much a dispute within Christianity as it is a force suppressed by Catholicism in the past Together to achieve the breakthrough, wizards have also been deeply involved in this historical change. Therefore, when the secrecy law was proposed, it is an indisputable fact that wizards were persecuted, but in the long run, wizards are gradually entering the mainstream of mankind The political circle, and its influence is growing. The Act of Secrecy is not so much a matter of self-protection in fear of Muggle power, but rather a rebellion by some people who fear the power of wizards who are over-integrated into Muggle society."

"In other words, the Secrecy Act is not a response to Muggles, but to wizards?" Harry listened carefully to Hermione's explanation.

"That's right. Those wizards who made good friends with the Muggle nobles and helped the new Muggle forces seize power, became rich and powerful because of their active participation in Muggle affairs, and in turn influenced the wizarding world. Gu Ling The Court has always provided Muggle currency and wizard currency exchange services, and since the Spaniards discovered gold in America, inflation in Europe has been a reality for all to see. However, the wizarding world is an extremely small economy, which is difficult to bear Can afford the financial fluctuations of the Muggles, and the goblins were the first to perceive the crisis, so there was the goblin rebellion in 1612."

"I forgot that when I answered my History of Magic paper," Harry muttered, "but I can forget about it."

"This change made wizards panic. In the 17th century, wizards gradually gained the leading position in the magic world through the conquest of other races. When they suppressed goblins and werewolves, they trapped centaurs and mermaids in places such as the Forbidden Forest Such a designated area defeated the giants and expelled the vampires...they finally have enough energy and strength to deal with their own people." Hermione paused, "You can imagine that this is a more difficult battle. A lot of rebuttals and heckles, fights and oppressions, and in the end the Conservatives won. Wizards withdrew from the Muggle world. Yet traces of that battle have never really been erased, as evidenced by the Supplementary Regulations. Especially like the British In places like the United States, the law of precedent is dominant, and judgments out of compromise will be preserved and become law. But the International Wizengamot uses a civil law system, and they do not recognize the law of precedent, they only recognize Grammar. So the Ministry of Magic keeps in touch with Muggle leaders, which is not allowed in countries like France or Germany."

"So who exactly set these precedents?" asked Ron.

"Well, it's easy to think of, pure-blood families, especially those rich, such as the Black family, the Malfoy family..."

"Malfoy?" Ron repeated in disbelief. "The ferrets?"

"Yeah." Hermione said with difficulty, and it sounded like she also found it difficult to accept, "Those wizarding families who advocated integrating with Muggles back then, if they still exist now, basically joined the Death Eater. gangsters, or supported Voldemort's cause in the last war."

"How could such a thing happen?" Harry asked in surprise, "They keep talking about tradition, ancestors, and then turn their backs on the ideas of their ancestors?"

“I think you need to notice that they share a lot more ideas with their ancestors than we do with their ancestors,” he had to point out. "At least, they all noticed the existence of the Muggle world."

"What do you mean? Did we notice that too?" Harry frowned unhappily. "Both Hermione and I come from the Muggle world."

"But the Muggle world doesn't exist to you as you sit here," he said sharply. "At least you don't, Harry. The Muggle world and the wizarding world don't exist to you." Compatible. One world exists and the other doesn't. Do you see Hogwarts and the Dursleys as one world? Do you think they have the same rules?" In the Dursleys, Harry is just an adopted child, a parasitic existence, and his personal existence and value cannot be revealed, but at Hogwarts, Harry is the center of attention, a hero, and the savior everyone needs.

He didn't say that.In a sense, he thinks that both Harry and Ron live in groups, and they can't bear to exist apart from the crowd, but they want different things from the crowd.

But those words hit Harry hard enough.The other party opened his mouth, stared at him blankly, and finally said nothing.

"But they really aren't a world, are they? Take Moody's words, there's enough things they don't know in their minds to write a library." Ron grinned. "Look at the way they treat Harry, it's bad enough for Harry to have to think of that family at Hogwarts."

"But you have to admit that we and Muggles all live on the same earth, and certain things are disasters for us, as well as for them. Wizards just hide, instead of moving to another universe. In reality, wizards and Muggles share a common fate."

"I think Ender's right," said Hermione impartially. "For example, in the pursuit of Sirius, the Ministry of Magic notified the Muggle Prime Minister, so the Muggles were mobilized to find traces of Sirius. At that time, the Daily Prophet mentioned that the Muggles provided a lot of information to the Ministry of Magic... um, I'm not saying it's right, but after all, the Ministry of Magic didn't know Sirius was innocent at the time..." Hermione faltered, looking at Harry's gloomy face anxiously. "I mainly want to say that Voldemort is a threat to us and to Muggles. We can't hide from Muggles that there is a madman after them. They should at least take precautions."

"What can Muggles prevent?" Ron seemed to find this point of view funny. "We can't do anything about the mysterious people. Even if we let them know, it will only cause panic, but it won't save our own lives. Why don't you worry less about it?" .”

Hermione puffed up her cheeks, as if she was a little angry, but in the end she calmly put down the tableware and took the timetable distributed by Professor McGonagall. "Let's see what class we have today, oh, no, my first class is Ancient Runes! I have to leave now!"

She hurriedly grabbed a piece of toast and her schoolbag, and strode out of the auditorium.

"Let's see what you have." Ron craned his neck to look at his timetable.Harry and Ron had swapped timetables and their classes were the same. "Oops, Care of Magical Creatures class! You're not kidding, are you?!"

"What's the matter? Hagrid's fine, isn't he?" He found that both of them had dropped out of Hagrid's class.

"Hagrid's all right," said Ron, whining. "His snails aren't bad at all."

"Remember to apologize for us when you went to his class," Harry looked at him earnestly, "saying that our timetable was too full and there was nothing we could do to give up his class."

"Okay." He glanced at Harry and Ron's five-session timetable.

"By the way, let's take part in the Quidditch trials." Harry grabbed his sleeve, "You fly amazingly!"

"I'm not interested in Quidditch." He said vaguely. "Didn't you say that there are more than 20 people who have signed up, and you will definitely find a suitable player. I have to go, my timetable can't be more full. "

After speaking, he left the piece of toast covered with peanut butter on the plate, and followed in Hermione's footsteps with his schoolbag in his hand.
