In This Hogwarts Without a Savior

Chapter 300 298. Witch hunting campaign launched by wizards

It turns out that Jon's face is getting thicker and thicker.

He once showed some shameful expressions when he proposed a "win-win" plan with Grindelwald and Dumbledore in Grindelwald's principal's room.

But now that he had stolen something from someone else's house, and was boasted by the owner of the thing, whether sincerely or sarcastically, he could remain calm and clear his throat as if nothing had happened.

"Well, Mr. Slytherin, does the fact that I can come through this door mean anything special?"

Slytherin's face was calm, and even Jon felt that it was actually an unknown indifference.

The co-founder of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry said expressionlessly.

"This only proves that idiot Godric is wrong. The choice he thinks I make about my students is not what I want at all."

Jon's heart suddenly sank slightly when he heard Slytherin's words.

The words of this portrait old man were obviously not friendly, and Jon could actually think of the reason for the unkindness very straightforwardly.

Salazar Slytherin, who once fell out with his best friend over bloodline issues and left the magic school he founded without saying a word, hated Muggle students.

Even if he could push open the bronze door and walk in front of him with the so-called character issues necessary for Slytherin, he still wouldn't be able to gain his approval.

Jon was mentally prepared for this in advance, but he thought that because he could open the door and walk in, this old guy would give him some face. However, looking at the current situation, he was just a portrait. If it were a real person, he might not be able to do anything to Jon.

But even though he had felt Slytherin's rejection and hostility, Jon had no intention of ending the conversation just like that.

And because there is no possibility for the two parties to get along harmoniously, he has no psychological burden for stealing the candlestick.

"Then the person you really recognize is a descendant of your own blood who came here more than ten years ago?"

Jon shrugged, asked the question unabashedly, and said uncertainly in a pretending doubtful tone.

"But according to the rumors I heard that are not true or false, it seems that your descendant is not pure blood? Has he ever told you that his real surname is Riddle?"

Even Slytherin showed his dislike for Jon, and he didn't seem to want to keep silent.

After all, as a portrait that is hidden in a secret room, he may have few opportunities to communicate with others. Even if he doesn't like it, Jon is at least a person who can talk.

"That was an ignorant mistake made by his mother, and it has nothing to do with him. I never think that noble blood can be diluted by other things. In other words, I don't actually think that people with the so-called pure-blood wizard blood are better than those without. How much better would a person with such a bloodline really be?"

Slytherin didn't seem to be irritated by Jon's words, nor did he feel any dissatisfaction or provocation. Instead, there was a touch of sarcasm in his words, which seemed to be a mockery of Jon's ignorance.

"The reason why I have always firmly believed that only pure-blooded children are qualified to learn magic is not because I agree that people with pure blood will be better, but because only children born to wizards are worthy of the trust of the wizarding community. Yes, and Ma Zhong. Well, history has proven that even if they learn magic, this group of people will never be able to get rid of their ordinary bad roots."

There was obvious disdain in his words, and it didn't seem like he was explaining anything to Jon. He was simply answering Jon's rhetorical question about Voldemort's impure bloodline.

Jon frowned, not that he was offended by Slytherin's contempt.

No matter how petty he was, he was not at the point where he would compete with a portrait, but he heard something weird from Slytherin's words.

Jon asked calmly and sincerely, asking for advice.

"What are the bad qualities of ordinary people?"

"What are the bad qualities of ordinary people?" Slytherin looked at Jon, the smile on his face was a little cold, "If you are a hemp, you should know this better than anyone else now, right? These people are born from ignorance. What will happen to children from ordinary families who are qualified to learn magic, even if they successfully master magic?"

Jon's frown deepened, and he felt as if he couldn't keep up with Slytherin's brain.

"Is there any difference between these people learning magic and people from wizarding families learning magic?"

"Children from wizarding families will always recognize themselves as wizards." Slytherin said coldly, "But hemps are different. Even if you learn magic, you will rarely regard yourself as a kindred spirit. Compared with magic, you are more inclined to use this method to return to the world of ordinary people to gain yourself a noble status and wealth, and you can even kill people like you for this."

"Idiots like Godric have never thought about these issues. He and the two women have always believed that as long as the magic school is established and these children are given a good enough education, the emergence of Obscurus can be avoided and magic can become a piece of cake. Prosperous. But they have never seen the real reason for the so-called Obscurus."

"Gifted children are persecuted and their magic is suppressed, causing extremely negative emotions to erode their power and turn them into terrifying monsters. The root of the problem has never been that these children cannot control the power they possess. , even if no one guides them, as long as they are not persecuted, they can grow up healthily and become ordinary people with some special abilities."

"The fundamental reason for the emergence of Obscurus is just because of the oppression of those ignorant idiots. But how can a group of mortals who can only wield iron swords and shields have the ability to persecute a group of wizards who have wands and can use magic, as well as those What about the children who have already begun to possess magical talents?"

Slytherin stared into Jon's eyes, the sarcasm in his cloudy pupils was already palpable.

"Aren't you hemps who have learned magic?"

Jon had never listened so carefully to what a portrait was saying at this moment, even if the original intention of the portrait was to deny him and the group of people he represented.

"The bad roots of the hemp seeds have prevented them from considering themselves as part of the wizards. Before the founding of Hogwarts, most of the hemp seeds who met well-meaning wizards and learned real magic were able to control their own magic. In the end, they all surrendered to their so-called king and the Holy See."

"There has never been a tradition of wizards believing in religion before. As we ourselves have mastered extraordinary power, how can we believe in some unknown God? These are the customs of the Mazong species, and some of them have become court mages ( When Jon said this, he looked at Nick behind his back), and some turned into loyal believers of the church. In order to obtain higher power and wealth, and also to suppress those with high positions. The witches and wizards who may threaten their current status in the future have instigated those ignorant ordinary people, prompting and helping them to launch the so-called 'witch hunting movement'."

Jon's face was full of disbelief. He stared at Slytherin in the portrait. For the first time, he heard the truth about the witch-hunting movement in the Middle Ages from a wizard of that era!

"Foolish mortals have no chance of dealing with wizards. The so-called flames they use to burn witches to death are nothing more than a joke to real wizards. But why have they been there for so long? So many wizards died in this turmoil that should not have happened? It was you, Mazhong, who mastered the magic that belonged to wizards, but you turned around and used this ability to deal with wizards. In that dark era, everything The root cause all comes from your greed."

"The fundamental reason why Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry was originally established was to eliminate such chaos, but Godric and his idiots always insisted that as long as they brought young and magically gifted bastards to this school for instruction , then things will change.”

"There is simply no more stupid idea than this. Even if they extend the academic cycle of Hogwarts to seven years and make all students boarding, they can only stay in school except during holidays, but they are already 11 years old. The students who enter the school already have a clear understanding and intention of the dirty world before coming to Hogwarts."

"Godric and the others tried to use the friendship between classmates to influence these idiots. They naively believed that as long as people of different origins lived together in the same school for seven years, they would regard wizards as their true identity after graduation. . Haha, I can never accept their ridiculous fantasy."

"The evil roots of the hemp species will not be changed. Campus life at Hogwarts may have an effect on a small number of people, but the vast majority of people will still return to where they belong after they graduate and are free from restraints. The world, continuing to fight for power, became the king's guest, the church's faithful, and then launched a witch hunt."

"I can't watch students like you studying in that castle every day. The more outstanding and talented they are, the greater the harm will be in the future. Every time they learn a magic, I seem to see the future. There will be a wizard who will fall under this spell. But there is no way I can stop the three people who built Hogwarts with me, so I chose to leave. Even if there is no way to make changes to that school, I I won’t let the knowledge I impart fall into the hands of such people.”

Jon was speechless as he listened to Slytherin's words.

His behavior of discriminating against hemps is fundamentally different from those led by Voldemort. It is not for his own benefit. If everything Slytherin said is true, then he is actually on the side of justice.

Later facts proved that his inference was not wrong. After the establishment of Hogwarts, although the living environment of wizards was greatly affected, the witch-hunting movement was not fundamentally stopped.

It was not until the "Law of Secrecy" was implemented around the world, completely cutting off the normal world's access to wizards and magic, that the living conditions faced by wizards were truly improved.

The two groups have completely become people in parallel worlds without any intersection. Except for the current Muggle head of state and Muggle families with wizards, all Muggle memories of the true existence of magic will be erased.

The implementation of the "Law of Secrecy" has completely changed the once extremely difficult situation for wizards. It is precisely because of this that magical governments around the world will do their best to stabilize this law. Once someone like Grindelwald appears who tries to completely subvert this protection, People will be hostile to everyone.

In contrast, Voldemort, who has more cruel methods, will not encounter so much resistance, because he has never publicly expressed his dissatisfaction with the abolition of the "Secrecy Act", which also gives other magical governments ambiguity. Clear reasons.

But today was the first time Jon heard the real inside story about the witch hunt. There has never been any record of this in the history of magic. He could only read the history of the "Mudblood" while he was lurking in Hogwarts Castle. At that time, there was a lot of content about ancient Muggle wizards uniting with Muggles to brutally kill purebloods and mixed-bloods.

But Jon had always thought that these things were made up by Voldemort, but he didn't expect them to be true!

Slytherin had no reason to lie to Jon, and only this explanation could explain why the wizards who had mastered such powerful magic at that time were persecuted into hiding rats during the witch hunt.

Only Muggles, who have an extremely large combined base of similar wizards, can cause such a brutal suppression of the wizarding world.

And before the magic school was established, this was entirely possible.

At that time, there were no "Secrecy Act" constraints. After Muggles who showed magical talents learned magic, the first thing they thought of was to use this ability to benefit themselves.

All of this has become reasonable, which is why the vast majority of people in the Middle Ages had no doubts about the existence of wizards, because the people who launched the witch-hunting movement were themselves wizards!

Even Nick who is now on Jon's back is the best proof. Nick was a court wizard and a courtier in the palace of King Henry VII during his lifetime. This was at the end of the fifteenth century when Hogwarts had been established for hundreds of years. The result after he completed seven years of schooling.

Slytherin's hatred of muggles was justified, and even the exclusion of people of non-wizard blood from entering the academy he founded was justified.

But this was a limitation of his cognition at that time, and the situation now is completely the other way around.

Jon could hear something strange in his words. If Voldemort had come here more than ten years ago and met his ancestor once, what would he have said to Slytherin?

Will he tell the truth about what he is doing and the current situation in the magic world?

The witch-hunting movement was initiated by ancient hemp wizards. This is my second assumption. Only in this way can it be somewhat more reasonable to explain why in the Middle Ages when ignorance and war methods were so underground, wizards who knew all kinds of spells were persecuted. This appearance can also explain why Slytherin insists on recruiting only pure-blood students.

If you have any questions or disagree with this explanation, you can feel free to comment, but please don't criticize me.
