HPMRS CH 158: Thinking!

After taking a sip of water, Hermione held the water glass in her hand and took an attentive posture.

Ryan cleared his throat and said, "It's true that pure-blood wizards will mostly have in-depth knowledge about dark magic, but they don't usually need to use dark magic. After all, except for individual families, most pure-blood families have accumulated long-term wealth. Their wealth and network of relationships are enough for them to live, and they don't need to go take unnecessary risks by themselves."

Hermione nodded in agreement.

Ryan went on to say: "The new wizards are different. They basically have no social relationship in the wizarding world. After graduation, they have no other way out except for entering the Ministry of Magic or working as a store clerk, and sometimes in few decades, a muggle-born wizard will be taken as a personal apprentice. But the wizarding world is xenophobic and the small scale of the city also determines that the jobs available every year are far from enough to absorb the ever-growing workforce. This means that many Muggle-born wizards will face the situation of unemployment after graduation."

"In the Muggle world, they only have an elementary school diploma at most, which means that it is basically impossible for them to continue their studies in the Muggle world, nor can they find any good jobs. They will be arrested by the Ministry of Magic if they use magic to get muggle jobs or make anything innovative with the help of magic. In other words, once they choose to enter the wizarding world, they will basically cut off their relationship with the Muggle world and simply cannot go back as successful individuals."

"They're still at disadvantage in the wizarding world. They basically have no other way to gain knowledge except for the school. But in the magical world, knowledge equals power, and power equals status. Without sufficient knowledge reserves, it means that they can only be at the bottom."

"Occasionally a few lucky people may become part of a pure-blood family. If girls marry into a Pure-Blooded family they'll either will become full-time housewives, or use the power of their husbands to join the circle of pure-blood wizards. For example, in Diagon Alley, several shop owners are called madams, among them, many are muggle-born wizards. But the male owners of those shops are from Pure-Blooded families."

Upon hearing this, Hermione opened her mouth to say something. But then she shrank back as if thinking of something.

"Muggle-borns work harder than your average Descendents of wizard families as they can't fathom the thought of going back to live a Muggle life. This next possibility is that they can go on some adventure and learn dark magic, regardless of the user or the target, dark magic is very dangerous, but it does enhance their strength, alas dark magic generally has a lot of side effects. These people don't have the precious experience of pure-blood wizards, so they can easily fall into the darkness completely. That's how many dark wizard criminals came into existence."

After Ryan had finished speaking, there was silence in the dormitory.

Then Hermione asked in a strange tone: "Are these all true? How come I don't know any of it at all?"

"Of course you won't know. As students, our scope of activity is nothing more than Diagon Alley, Platform Nine and Three-quarters, Hogwarts, and Hogsmeade. What do we do in this case? How can we see those dark places in the magic world."

Hermione glared at Ryan.

"I can't imagine it, I have never paid attention to these. Are you sure you aren't making up things?"

"It's true. The origins of the Ministry of Magic and all the personnel in Diagon Alley, the number of dark wizards captured each year, are not kept secret. Percy has talked a lot with me recently, and he doesn't need to lie to me about this. And I think this status quo is also very logical."

"Logical? I don't think it is logical to discriminate against Muggle-born wizards. Why do those pure-blood wizards do this?" Hermione asked in confusion.

"Just like the Greek and Latin in the British Civil Service Examination, the British public education institutions cannot find Greek and Latin teachers at all. Only those private aristocratic schools can provide Greek and Latin teaching from junior high school. Maintaining the proportion of Greek and Latin in the scores of the British Civil Service Examination can protect the monopoly of the upper class under the guise of fairness and justice. This is the case in the Muggle world, and so is the wizard."

The status quo of the Muggle world was presented as an example by Ryan, explain to Hermione why the pure-blood family would do this.

"Unfair, is this what is hidden under the beautiful and magical appearance of the wizarding world?" Hermione put the water glass on the table, leaned back in the chair, and closed her eyes thinking.

The sun slowly slanted west, and a golden light reflected on the red wallpaper and carpet in the house.

The afternoon class must have started, but Hermione remained motionless in her chair. In this case, Ryan can only give up the afternoon class to accompany her.

Finally, Hermione finally came back to her mind and said: "Sorry, we're already late for the class. Now let's rush over as quickly as possible, maybe we can catch up with the second class."

Ryan let out a sigh of relief when he saw Hermione return to normal. He had been worried that too much of his words would have a bad effect on Hermione. Even if she will become the Minister of Magic and lead the reforms in the wizarding world in the future, she is only thirteen or fourteen now, these things are still a bit too much for her age.

In fact, Ryan said so much today because he was also lost himself. At first, he realized that he seemed to be born again, so he decided to earn money for a lifetime. After realizing that he has such a kick-ass system, he aimed to find a way back home through it. Later, after going to school at Hogwarts and getting acquainted with everyone, he felt that Voldemort should be killed, as he didn't want to see his friends or their family die because of him.

At this time, he is confused about his future goals: going home cannot be done in a short while, Ryan feels that he is likely to live here for a long time. If his world is the main material world, then going back will be too difficult or nearly impossible, if his world was the background setting of a future story world or fanfic, then going back will be so time-consuming that he'll need to become an immortal first. In this case, the current world is very important to him.

Killing Voldemort is just destroying the old world settings, so what should the new world look like? Who should be kept as friends in the process of creating a new world? Who will be the enemy? Should I participate in this process? What should I do if I participate? These are questions that Ryan has repeatedly thought about but did not get an answer to.

Ryan said so much to Hermione today, just hoping to get some enlightenment. But now it seems that Hermione may not be as mature as he thought. But it doesn't matter, there is still enough time for thinking anyway. Not to mention the Myriad Realms General Store will give Ryan enough experience as a new world reference.

In the next few days, everything seemed to be back to normal. But Hermione seemed to be even busier. When she was studying in the library, Ryan saw her reading a book about the history of magic.

During the study of the Patronus Charm on Friday afternoon, the professor of the combat class found a dementor as a practical test.

Because Ryan has practiced Middle-earth Taoism to restrain this evil creature, he wasn't much affected by the evil influence when facing the dementor.

This allowed him to easily release a thick silver smoke to block the dementor's attack.

At the end of the course that afternoon, all three were able to face the dementor and release silver smoke to stop it from moving forward. At the same time, in the absence of dementors, their smoke faintly revealed an animal.

The professor also announced that their course was over, because he had already taught what he could teach, and the remaining of Patronus Charm's ability to make a patron saint creature needed constant practice and self-understanding.

Ryan left the classroom after thanking the professor. He decided to practice more in private because he was really curious about what his Patronus would look like, hopefully, it won't be much affected by his lazy personality and become a sloth.
