The Shopkeeper of All Worlds in the British Wizarding World

Chapter 160 Analysis of the Current Situation of the Magical World (Please subscribe, collect, and recommend)
Everything went on as usual, with weekend combat training and daily classes. The only difference was that Ryan began to teach the Patronus Charm during combat training at Hermione's request.

The Patronus Charm is indeed an advanced spell. Even a genius like Hermione, who can perform magic simply by reading textbooks, encountered difficulties when learning this spell: after two days of practice, she could only emit wisps of silver smoke. It seems that she is still some distance away from reaching the practical stage.

The days passed one after another, until Ryan returned to the dormitory after lunch on Friday, and heard Hermione knocking on the door.

Fortunately, she didn't rush in directly this time, Ryan thought as he walked to the door and opened it.

The door opened, and Ryan found Hermione standing outside with a serious face and a thick notebook in her hand.

"What is this?" Ryan asked, pointing at the book Hermione had placed on the table, after the two of them sat down.

"This is the information I collected in the library about Muggle-born wizards, Muggles and pure-blood wizards after listening to what you said last week." Hermione opened the notebook, which contained a lot of densely written information in beautiful handwriting.

"This is thanks to the fact that Castrobruzau is an international school. I can find a lot of information about all parts of the world in the library. From these materials, I found some places that I had never paid attention to before." Hermione said to Ryan while looking at her notes.

"In fact, compared with the past, the status of Muggles and wizards has improved. For example, decades ago, due to the Rappaport Law, intermarriage between Muggles and wizards was even prohibited in the New World. The situation in Britain was not much better. If wizards wanted to marry Muggles, they had to put away their wands and cut off all ties with the wizarding world. Now the world has progressed to allow intermarriage between wizards and Muggles, and also allows some wizards to reveal their wizard identities to Muggles as family members."

"What you mean by this is that the magic world can gradually improve and change its shortcomings, and we don't need to try to promote change?" Ryan asked curiously after listening to Hermione praising the progress of the magic world. He originally thought that Hermione would criticize the shortcomings of the magic world right away, but unexpectedly Hermione directly described the progress of wizards, which made Ryan a little confused and didn't know what Hermione wanted to express.

"No, of course not." Hermione shook her head and said, "I just want to say that there is progress in the wizarding world, and we need to summarize those examples that have successfully promoted the progress of the wizarding world. And learn from these examples for our own actions. After all, after looking up the information, I found that the attitude of the wizarding world towards Muggles and Muggles is still very bad, and this situation needs to be changed urgently."

"For example, I have seen several cases where a wizard killed someone, and the punishment he received was different depending on whether he killed a pure-blood wizard, a Muggle wizard or a Muggle wizard, as well as his own bloodline. This clearly shows that the wizarding world despises those wizards who are not pure-blooded from the bottom of their hearts."

"Not to mention that I will never forget when Lucius Malfoy humiliated my parents in the bookstore last year, most of the wizards around didn't take the situation seriously and ignored my parents, and all this was because my parents were Muggles who couldn't do magic." Maybe this incident had a great impact on Hermione. Ryan found that when she said this, her whole body was trembling slightly with excitement.

"Just like the one reported in the newspapers about Sirius Black who escaped from prison and killed twelve Muggles in one go on the street. But the wizarding world only cared about the wizard who was killed. The dead Muggles were covered up by a gas explosion, and did not receive any compensation for the wizarding world's mistakes."

"So I want to do something to change the current situation. After all, our relatives and many of our friends don't know magic. When pure-blood wizards are dominant, the prejudice and discrimination in the wizarding world make them easy victims of the mistakes of the wizarding world." Hermione quickly regained her composure and concluded. "So what do you think we should do?" Ryan adjusted his sitting posture and sat up straight, asking seriously. After all, the position of pure-blood wizards in the wizarding world is deeply rooted. He now hopes to hear what useful suggestions Hermione can come up with to change this situation.

"For this matter, I collected information for a week and carefully studied a person who had previously changed the status quo of the wizarding world on a large scale: Gellert Grindelwald." Hermione did not explain the problem directly, but began to talk about the information she had found before.

"Gellert Grindelwald? Is he the dark wizard defeated by Dumbledore?"

"Yes. At least in the past few hundred years, he was the only one who made the wizarding world change itself on a large scale. I think there are some merits in his experience. He announced that as the Muggle world developed, Muggles would slowly destroy the entire world. At the same time, due to the advancement of technology, wizards would be seriously threatened one day. So he believed that wizards should break through those old laws to rule the entire world."

"He also pointed out that he didn't hate any Muggles. He just thought that Muggles lacked vision and needed wizards to lead them forward, which is why he wanted to rule over Muggles."

"There's nothing special about this. Every powerful villain will always come up with a seemingly just reason to inspire ordinary people and win followers." Ryan said.

"However, Grindelwald proposed that as long as they are wizards, everyone should be equal, and bloodline is not important. At the same time, he believed that Muggles and wizards could live in harmony, but it had to be under the order he designed. It was because of this slogan that a large number of non-pure-blood wizards at the bottom and wizards close to Muggles were attracted to him. Finally, after the war, many ministries of magic that were controlled by pure-bloods at the time were severely damaged, and those pure-bloods also realized the power of non-pure-blood wizards, so they later amended a large number of laws and gave up a lot of interests." At this point, Hermione stood up excitedly and raised her voice.

"It's just that the war started by Grindelwald did not affect Britain, so the status quo of pure-blood wizard rule in Britain remains solid and unshakable, even though Professor Dumbledore has been trying to solve this problem through gentle means over the past few decades."

"But now it seems that this gentle approach is basically useless. Britain's progress is entirely due to the fact that after the defeat of You-Know-Who, many backbones of pure-blood families lost their power or even died, resulting in a shortage of pure-blood families. They had to tolerate non-pure-blood forces to fill the vacancies."

"So now is the best time: the power of pure-blood wizards in Britain has been weakened, and Muggle-born and half-blood wizards have been trained. The only problem is that those pure-blood wizards still want to firmly control the wizarding world."

"This shows that we are not fighting alone in the process of improving the wizarding world. We don't even need to step out as leaders for the time being. What we need to do now is to start from small places, starting with our classmates and exerting influence little by little. In the end, we will achieve the goal of changing the British wizarding world. After all, we are still young and have enough time." Hermione concluded.
