HP's Platinum Temptation

Chapter 31 Beliefs Beyond Pure Blood

"Of course, you can know the answer if you think about how many other families those real big families have married with in such a long history. Influence, the Medici family is not yet in the running." Jeffrey said conclusively, and then felt that it was not enough, and snorted again, expressing his deep disdain for the Medici family.

"Belief in pure blood...Actually, pure blood is just a human-induced phenomenon. Why did it become a belief and a regulation?" Clarence asked.

"Because pure blood represents strength! A pure blood family means better genes and offspring. If you look up the history of wizards, it is not difficult to find that most outstanding wizards are pure blood." Jeffrey He replied with a very speechless expression: "Aren't you also a pure blood family? Don't you know?"

"Well, strictly speaking, the Lambert family doesn't strictly meet the requirements of a pure-blood family. Our grandma is a Muggle." Theodore scratched his head and broke the news with a smile.

"Yeah, so, can our family be considered a pure-blood family?" Daphne interrupted and asked: "My father, mother, grandma and grandma are wizards, and they are all Ravenclaws. Guaranteed. Counting up the elders, Muggles and wizards are half and half."

"Ah. That definitely doesn't count. Pure-blood wizards mean that the elders are all wizards." Jeffrey frowned.

"Then my parents are both wizards, so they can't be regarded as witches. Then what am I?" Daphne continued to ask with an innocent smile.

"Uh uh..." Jeffrey couldn't answer.

"And as far as I know, most of the pure-blood families, like the Medici and Malfoy families, actually have numb wizards in their ancestors. I guess the Rist family is also." Clarence tapped himself The table in front of me said: "That's why I don't understand what is the point of insisting on pure blood beliefs?"

"How could it be! Rist is a complete pure-blood family!" Jeffrey shook his head in horror: "Impossible!"

"You can check with Mr. Lister, but I don't think the final result will make you too happy." Clarence didn't doubt that his conclusion might be wrong. After all, he has the Book of Time and wants to compare the source To explore the purity of a certain family's lineage, it only takes a little more effort.Grabbing a blank piece of paper, he drew a few circles: "I don't know if you know about genes, bloodlines, etc. Although wizards don't have relevant systems, Muggles have research. Just like these circles, they should represent pure-blood wizards. I won’t go into how the first pure-blood wizards came to be, but we can do an arithmetic problem.”

Clarence drew a few lines under several circles: "For example, Jeffrey, you are an only child, right? You have two parents, four grandparents, and eight great-grandparents. Suppose all your ancestors They all get married and have children at the age of 25, and it is true that most wizards are already married at this age. Assuming they are like this, if you go back to 1600 years ago, there will be 64 generations. The history of wizards is determined to be longer than 1600. Facts you know. So, assuming your ancestors don't repeat, there will be a total of 1850 billion ancestors. Obviously, there were not that many people at that time. There were not even so many Muggles in the world, let alone wizards It must have been many generations since our respective families had a history. Even if we have many surnames, it is enough for us to have relatives all over the world. If we only marry pure-blood families. If we calculate from this direction, it does not prove that, Is what I said right?"

"This..." The three people except Theodore were confused by Clarence's picture explanation.

"Forget it, don't look at this, let's put it another way. Assuming that the Lambert family marries with the Lister family, the children will each have half of the blood, right. But the children of the marriage must not be able to marry each other, right? Then they can only marry other people." The family is married. Calculated in this way, the purity of bloodlines has long been mixed, right? And many pureblood families do not have more than two children, so shouldn't the overall number of wizards decrease within a few generations? If there is no With the addition of all kinds of wizards, the pure-blood wizards have long since disappeared."

Clarence explained what he meant as simply as possible, but the three first-grade children still couldn't understand, and could only know a general meaning.But Theodore thought seriously.

"Besides, it's not easy to judge whether the bloodlines of the witches are pure or not. Many witches have strong magical powers, but their parents are Muggles. So where does their magic power come from? It's obviously not bloodlines, right? .There are also half-blood wizards, such as our headmaster. I remember reading books about headmasters. One of the parents of headmaster Dumbledore is a Muggle. Forget it, it’s meaningless not to discuss this topic. I I just want to say that the belief in pure blood is not so strict, and it is not the only way for the development of the wizarding world." Clarence finally gave up explaining simple Muggle genetics to everyone.

"By the way!" Theodore, who had been thinking, suddenly said excitedly: "I seem to be a little inspired, let's talk about the topic just now. Jeffrey said that because they are the majority, you are excluded. But What if they are the minority and we are the majority?"

"You mean that we should exclude Slytherin with other houses? This is useless, Slytherin should have been excluded." Jeffrey shook his head.

"Didn't you just say that there are neutral factions?" Theodore scratched his head again in embarrassment, apparently what he really wanted was to exclude Slytherin House.

"Neutral? That just refers to people who are not so radical about pure-blood beliefs. In fact, there are no factions in Slytherin other than hardline and neutral, so the neutral faction naturally listens to the hardliners. Except for these two factions , there are only a few so-called pure-blood traitors left." Jeffrey curled his lips.

"No!" Daphne screamed: "I know! I have a solution!"

"What way?" Jeffrey responded quickly.

"If there is no third faction, then we should work hard to establish a third faction, and then fight for the neutral faction, wouldn't it be good? If the whole school supports the third view, then the hardliners will inevitably become a minority, right? Wouldn't the neutral faction fall to us?" Daphne waved her arms excitedly.

"The third faction? School-wide? Isn't there? Aren't we now?" Clarence looked at the excited little girl with great interest.

"That's not true. If it's just about bloodlines, I think there are only three factions in total, two within Slytherin, and another school-wide view of protecting witches. In fact, it's just a disguised feeling." The opinion of the weaker group of wizards is that weedy wizards. There are still many remaining students, who are no different from the neutral faction of Slytherin."

"Isn't that the case with the third faction you mentioned?" Theodore also asked, "It feels like I'm back to the situation I started talking about."

"Of course we are not. We neither think that pure blood is the highest, nor do we think that hemp is bad! In fact, when we get along, don't we care about blood at all? Ability and blood have nothing to do with it!"

"There are still some, right? At least the heirs of big families have never been inferior in ability?" Jeffrey asked hesitantly.

"Well, I think what Daphne said is very good, but it's not comprehensive. In fact, Muggles are not weak at all. On the contrary, they are actually very powerful. Maybe you don't understand, but, in fact, we wizards are already in a very difficult situation. It's a dangerous situation. The number of Muggles is increasing, which is far from being comparable to the number of wizards. And Muggles have begun to notice us wizards. The number of wizards is slowly declining. I I feel that part of the Mysterious Man’s point of view is correct. Muggles are enough to be our enemy. But we should not and cannot eliminate all Muggles and Muggles. If you believe in pure blood, it will only push Muggles to the whole wizard Just imagine, Muggles can’t do anything to us because they don’t have magic power. But what if there are wizards with little bit of magic to find a way to open the door to the wizarding world for them? Then we have nowhere to hide.” Lance continued.

"That's terrible!" Cindy, who hadn't spoken but listened carefully, exclaimed.Among the few people present, Cindy was the only wizard of pure hemp breed, and she had a deep understanding of the number of Muggles.

"So?" Jeffrey swallowed his saliva and asked, pretending to be calm.

"It's very simple, change our beliefs! We should believe in magic power and our abilities. As long as we have magic power, we are one of us. Only in this way can we unite all wizards and make us stronger! This can be our attitude. As long as we don't talk about pure The difference between the blood and the hemp seed is one of us, and we discuss and study all the ways to make wizards stronger."

"Then I thought of it! We can set up a society and recruit all the students who agree with this point of view to join. Everyone should study hard together." Theodore immediately answered: "If I apply to Professor Flitwick and let Muggles study If the professor of science agrees to be our advisor, the club may be formalized. Like the Quidditch team. If not, we can form a private club."

"But how do we attract people to join?" Cindy asked.

"This question is not difficult. Don't we often have many companions together now? Everyone wants to be together because they want to discuss learning issues. How about recruiting people who like to learn and freshmen? There is no strong college emotion." Daphne suggested: "Our college is getting along well with many Slytherin students now."

"If it's to attract new students, it's not difficult. As long as Theodore can find out some more precautions about life in school, and find ways to improve their academic performance, they will like it." Carat Lance continued smoothly: "These are not difficult to think about."

"Let's do it like this! What club are we going to call? I can write the application now!" Theodore also happily pulled out a piece of parchment, picked up the quill, and was ready to write.

"How about the Violet Institute?" Daphne glanced at the flowers on the cover of a beautiful book on the table: "I remember that the language of flowers seems to be a virtue!"

"Daphne, the flower language of Violet is alright, but are you sure the name is suitable?" Clarence showed a slightly embarrassed expression and touched his nose.

"What's the matter? What's wrong with this flower?" Cindy also asked: "I think a violet badge looks good on the chest!"

"Ahem, Violet, it's the family crest of the Lambert family." Jeffrey also laughed sullenly at this time.
