Chapter 4 4. Elf Education
Jon's maturity and mentality, which are different from those of his peers, surprised Lily, but that's all.
Even if young and mature children are rare, she has not never seen them before. Like the child in the Longbottom family who lost his mother since childhood, he has always been more sensible than other people of the same age.
Jon's explanation made Lily let go of his only slight guard against him, and then, as she promised before, now she can answer Jon's questions.
"That man named Barty Crouch is really a professor of magic school?"
Even if the situation is temporarily safe, Jon still feels unbelievable about what happened today.
Traveling to a magical world that only exists in fantasy is indeed shocking, but it has not made Jon unacceptable.
However, judging from what happened today, this may be the magical world in the novel, but it is definitely not just that simple.
According to the plot he is familiar with, the Lily Potter in front of him had died together with her husband 10 years ago, and her son Harry Potter would survive in the hands of the biggest villain in the story—Voldemort. Become the only hope in the entire wizarding world to defeat the Dark Lord.
The wizard who found him first, Barty Crouch Jr., was a diehard of Voldemort, the kind of diehard who could kill his mother and father for Voldemort.
In the fourth book of the original book, he pretended to be the professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts, and conspired for Voldemort's resurrection plan in Hogwarts. Although he succeeded in the end, he was also caught by the Ministry of Magic. Ghosts **** souls.
Before this, he had been imprisoned at home by his director father, also named Barty Crouch, using the Imperius Curse. Now how did he become a professor of charms at Hogwarts?
Will Dumbledore recruit such a former Death Eater and titular dead man to be a professor at Hogwarts?
Or is it that Dumbledore is no longer the headmaster at Hogwarts?
Jon had a lot of doubts in his heart. Although the conversation between Lily and Crouch just now was short, it revealed many things.
Most Wanted, Real Hogwarts, Impostor Terrorist Organization, Exile
Jon has not forgotten any of these impressive words.
The magic world must still be that magic world, but there must have been some major changes that he didn't understand.
For example, if the Lily in front of him is really the one he knows.
What about Harry Potter?
Of course, Jon couldn't just ask "Do you have a son named Harry" so abruptly, he could only get to know the current form of the wizarding world first.
Hearing Jon's question, Lily's face became a little gloomy, like the surface of the sea at night, which seemed calm, but actually contained turbulent waves that would erupt without knowing when.
"If you follow the current Ministry of Magic official announcement, 90% of what he told you is true."
"He is indeed the charms professor of that 'Hogwarts' school. He also found you to bring you to the school. The notice that you signed was the real magic school admission notice. But kind professor, friendly classmate, hehe"
Her pair of green eyes met Jon's eyes, and the gloom and anger in those eyes seemed to overflow from the sockets.
"Do you know about medieval slave owners?"
Her performance made Jon feel inexplicably nervous. He swallowed and nodded slightly.
"For that school, students like you who are born in Muggle society and whose parents are all Muggles are slaves they want to train. For pure-blood students, it is indeed a school, but for For Muggle students, it's a domestication ground!"
"The admission notice written in ancient runes only requires Muggle students to sign. Because that notice has another name—"Elf Education Contract"!"
Jon's pupils shrank slightly, and his heart was shocked.
The word elf is not a beautiful and noble species in the world of Harry Potter.
House elves, a kind of magical creatures domesticated by wizards into slaves, their value since birth is to be proud of serving wizards unconditionally, and they are completely controlled by wizards from the perspective of spirit and three views!
Lily's voice was very cold, as cold as an iceberg that would not melt for a thousand years.
"You may not understand what elf education means, but as long as you sign this contract, you will be restricted by that 'Hogwarts' in all aspects. Right, and will never be recognized as a wizard, the only official title is only one word - 'Mudblood'!"
Jon was silent.
He never imagined that the world had changed to such an extent.
In the original book, although blood discrimination is a social problem in the magic world, it will never be so completely separated into classes that Muggle-born wizards are no longer considered human beings.
Such a situation can occur, and even a former Death Eater like Barty Jr. can become a professor of magic school, there is only one possibility.
In the original book, the Dark Lord who can only be regarded as a terrorist at most—Voldemort has completely controlled the power of the magic world, allowing himself to rule and control the entire island of Great Britain!
But that lunatic who only wants to kill people by eating big melons, does he really have such abilities?
What is Dumbledore doing again?
He just watched the magic world change its doors like this?
Based on the current information alone, Jon can't figure out what kind of changes happened to make the magical world that was originally good become what it is today.
Jon raised his head and looked at Lily again.
"That Mrs. Potter you."
"You can call me Professor Potter."
Lily's face was expressionless, making it impossible to see how her mood changed after hearing the name madam.
Jon took a deep breath after a small trial and got no results.
"Okay, Professor Potter, when I was in the orphanage just now, I remember you telling me that you want to take me to the real Hogwarts? Is that also a magic school?"
"No, yes, I'm going to take you to the only magic school in England. The current castle doesn't have the qualifications to be called a school at all."
Lily frowned and corrected Jon's speech mistakes, and then continued.
"Seven years ago, the wizarding world hadn't become what it is now. Hogwarts headmaster Albus Dumbledore couldn't resist that person's oppressive rule over the wizarding world, but he led us and never Stop fighting."
"The real Hogwarts has never been confined to an ancient castle, and while we are constantly fighting to overthrow oppression and reclaim the equal status of Muggle wizards, we have never given up on doing justice to the next generation of young wizards." So even after leaving that castle, the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Witchcraft, which has been passed down for nearly a thousand years, has never disappeared, and I am the potions professor responsible for picking you up."
After Lily's words fell, the wooden house fell into silence.
The bouncing fire was reflected on Jon's seemingly calm face.
After figuring out the current dark situation, he sighed helplessly in his heart, and drank the cold and sticky hot chocolate in the cup in one gulp.
