Connor's Hogwarts

"1000 years ago, it was still the reign of the Roman Empire, that is... a period of time that you now call the Dark Ages of the Middle Ages..." Slytherin paused as he spoke, probably like Gryffindor I went to "read" someone else's memory, and then continued:

"After the fall of the Western Roman Empire, Europa entered the chaotic Middle Ages. The mortal world was full of plagues, migrations, and wars... The mountains and rivers were broken, and the people were in dire straits. In contrast to the chaos of the secular state, there was a high degree of unity of the church—that It is an era that belongs to the Church."

"In the age of ignorance of the human race, wizards with absolute power are the masters of this world, so the church that holds the weapon [angel] and concentrates the power of most wizards is unstoppable."

"They will adopt talented wizards, brainwash them into so-called priests and nuns, and use them to stabilize the rule of the Holy See, and any wizards who disobey them will be classified as heretics, hunted and hunted..."

"That era, whether it was for mortals or wizards, was very dark."

"..." Connor knew something about this period of history, and he could only say that where there are humans, there will be battles, and wizards are also humans.

"The four of us tried to change the world when we were young, but our strength was still too weak in front of the huge Holy See. We failed. Later, we brought the children gathered along the way and came to this place where Master Merlin helped King Arthur. established, far from Rome, established Hogwarts."

"..." Connor glanced at Arturia who was frowning, but didn't dare to speak.

"We have indeed experienced a lot, and our ideas have diverged because of this. They believe that only by uniting all forces that can be united can we fight against the Holy See. Therefore, as long as they are children with wizard talents, they are willing to accept them as students. They think that only as much as possible Only by strengthening ourselves as much as possible can we win hope for tomorrow."

"It should be... no problem." Connor scratched his head, noncommittal.

"Of course there is a problem!" Slytherin's eyes blazed with flames: "They just think that our enemy is the church that hunts wizards short-sightedly, but they haven't found the root of the problem!"

"Wizards who disobey the church can only escape everywhere. Is it really just because of the persecution of the church? No, we are all wizards, so how can we be enemies? In fact, most of the so-called priests of the Holy See don't think they are They are actually the same kind as us! They specialize in light magic, so they denounce other wizards as heretics, they are actually deceived! They have been manipulated by a lie full of flaws for a lifetime!"

Slytherin's voice gradually became passionate: "However, this lie will be exposed sooner or later. By that time, how many wizards are really willing to stand on the side of the Holy See? In the final analysis, as wizards, our enemies should not be ours." similar."

"Thousands of years ago, I didn't convince them, but today, the facts have proved that even without the Holy See as the enemy, wizards still have to hide in the gutter, because our enemies have never been wizards, but non-human races. Kind of Muggle!"

"..." Connor said weakly, "But Hogwarts hasn't changed in the past 1000 years. Even Muggle-born wizards... are still wizards."

"Yes, it is precisely because they are wizards that they will not betray easily, but it is also precisely because they are Muggle-born wizards that they are the easiest to betray among us,"

Slytherin looked at Connor: "Once a war breaks out between wizards and Muggles, which side do you think the wizards of this group will lean towards? This is why I disagree with Hogwarts recruiting Muggle-born wizards, because I know that wizards and Muggles are destined not to live in harmony, even if not now, war will definitely break out in the future, the fate brought about by this irreconcilable contradiction is fundamentally doomed."

"..." Connor couldn't help but feel a little emotional. It is really not to be underestimated that a person thousands of years ago can have such a vision. You must know that Dumbledore only saw through this point after he was middle-aged...

"After hearing so much, you probably know what I'm going to ask." The fire in Slytherin's eyes seemed to carry some indescribable power:

"What I want to ask is your position, Connor Lake, do you think you are a [wizard] or a [human being]?"

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

"My... choice?"

Am I a wizard or a human?When he heard this question, Connor realized that this Slytherin was different from the other two founders.

Gryffindor's test of Connor only valued Connor's "heart". In fact, he didn't care much about Connor's strength. What he wanted to test at the beginning was whether Connor had a "heart" that would protect his companions , Rather than saying that he values ​​​​"the courage to fight against the enemy", it is better to say "the courage to protect others".

Ravenclaw is even simpler, she doesn't care what your personality is, as long as you are capable, know enough, and have a good brain, she will approve of you.

But Slytherin was different, and Connor hadn't expected that this old man, who had a bad reputation no matter it was a thousand years ago or now, had such a pure starting point—【I just don't believe in Muggles】.

To be honest, Connor agrees with this gentleman's point of view very much. As the saying goes, non-human races must have different hearts, and wizards and ordinary humans whose fundamental contradictions cannot be reconciled must not be able to coexist peacefully forever.

The reason why wizards can still maintain this detached status is that the "enemies" don't know enough about wizards. Once there is a complete control, wizards who are at an absolute disadvantage in numbers will definitely not be able to fight against Muggles. , It is not impossible to set off another "witch hunt".

However, all of this is based on the fundamental contradiction "cannot be reconciled"... If this fundamental problem is solved, many things will be different.

"So, what's your answer?" Slytherin looked at Connor with piercing eyes, and Connor even saw the expectation from the dark green flames in his eyes.

"My answer..." Connor smiled lightly and shrugged, "Before answering this question, I want to discuss another question with you."

"what?"

"Even without us wizards intervening, the war between Muggles is still happening every moment. Even without magic, the war is never far away. What do you think?"

"Oh, the so-called war is nothing more than a conflict of interests in the final analysis. There has never been any right or wrong. Arrogance and greed are the original sins of mankind. Not to mention Muggles, how have wars among wizards been absent? The three divisions of the Holy See are The result of the war between wizards, war is the eternal theme of mankind, as long as there are conflicts of interest in this world, war will never disappear."

"It can be said that before this, all Muggle-Muggle wars, wizard-wizard wars were all about competing for the resources they needed, and there were basically no resource conflicts between wizards and Muggles. Yes, wizards can be self-sufficient without humans, and the absence of wizards among humans will not affect their recuperation..."

"But I also said that there must be a war between wizards and Muggles, but this war is not about the resources we each need...but the right to live! Just as a kingdom cannot have two kings After all, the war between wizards and Muggles is different from ordinary wars, this is a war in which the entire race may perish once it is defeated!"

Slytherin sighed: "So, I must get an answer from you. For a talented wizard like you, if you are lucky enough to vacillate and lean towards Muggles, and once you make a wrong decision, it will be for all wizards. It's all a disaster, I can't teach my knowledge to someone who doesn't agree with me as a wizard, do you understand?"

This is almost an open-book exam. Slytherin is obviously very optimistic about Connor, but he has seen through Connor's soul and knows that he was a Muggle in his "last life", so he is worried that Connor will betray his identity as a wizard.

But as long as Connor admits from the bottom of his heart that he is a wizard, then Slytherin doesn't mind giving Connor what he has learned all his life. He believes that Connor, a genius on the side of wizards, will lead wizards out of a A future of more possibilities.

Rather than saying that this is a test, it is better to say that this is a transaction. As long as Connor nods, he can get a rich inheritance. He seems to have no reason to say no.

"wrong."

Seeing Connor shaking his head, Slytherin's eyes became deeper and deeper: "Oh? Don't you agree with me?"

Connor curled his lips and smiled: "Yes, and no, in fact, you are partly right. War is the eternal theme of human beings. As long as there are conflicts of interest among human beings, war will never disappear."

"However, I don't agree with your point of view [there must be a battle between wizards and Muggles]."

The fire in Slytherin's eyes dimmed visibly: "Aren't you even willing to side with your own blood? Connor, your innocence will lead all wizards to their graves!"

"Listen to me first," Connor shrugged and smiled: "Although I can answer you, I am indeed more inclined to admit my [human] identity, but I still hope you can listen to my point of view."

"..." Slytherin said calmly, "Speak."

"There are no permanent friends or permanent enemies in this world, but only permanent interests. I don't think we need to argue about this point?"

Slytherin nodded, but didn't speak, looking a little bit downhearted.

"Then based on this premise, I think if we can turn the Muggle enemy into a friend, the so-called war is naturally not inevitable."

"Oh, what a naive idea, I said that the fundamental conflict between wizards and Muggles is not a conflict of interests at all! It is impossible for Muggles who cannot use magic to allow wizards like us, whose individual strength is far superior to theirs, to exist without control With your naive idea, wizards can only have two futures, either become the sharp blade of the Muggle rulers, become their dogs, and gain a foothold by selling our power! Or be completely wiped out, Wizards will disappear from the Muggle world, hunted, killed, and reduced to consumables in laboratories!"

"Do you want your descendants to accept this fate!?"

The more Slytherin talked, the more angry he was, the wind of magic power spread out from his stone statue, as if he wanted to wake Connor up in this way.

But Connor was not moved at all, he waved his hands and smiled: "Don't get excited, sir, no matter what, I won't let the future you imagined happen, I'm not that naive, and..."

"...I think that's how we wizards treated Muggles thousands of years ago, don't you see, don't others still live well up to now?"

"..." Slytherin's "conjecture" is naturally not an unreasonable association. It is actually difficult for human imagination to surpass the limitations of reality. The reason why Slytherin thinks that future wizards will be treated in this way is because It's just because he knows that's how wizards and wizards treated Muggles in the past.

Using magic to enslave powerless Muggles, using Muggle bodies to do various magical experiments... In fact, the history of wizards is not glamorous at all, and they are not qualified to put themselves in the position of victims. Most of the darkness and ugliness of human beings Generally the same, don't laugh at anyone.

"In the same way, even if wizards in the future are treated like this, then we won't really be genocide. There will always be children of ordinary people who will awaken the power of wizards and may become Spider-Man, Wolverine, x The living environment of the policemen and the like will be relatively harsh, but it’s really impossible for wizards and Muggles to fight to the death.”
