Daily Life at Hogwarts Chapter 260: Mabo
This gathering is not only an academic exchange, but also to strengthen the relationship between everyone and expand their contacts. To a certain extent, it is the slug of Professor Horace Slughorn in the Half-Blood Prince. Club Plus.
Professor Brod asked the house-elves to prepare a sumptuous dinner, and Albert was fortunate enough to taste the delicacies of other countries. Obviously, more than one house-elves were busy in the kitchen, and a large amount of food was brought to the table.
Of course, most people think of France and Italy when it comes to European cuisine. In fact, most of the food on the table comes from these two countries.
At this small banquet, Albert turned into a small transparent, silently eating food, listening to everyone talking about interesting things in the magical world.
For example, some of the shady things about the UK Minister of Magic election, Cornelius Fudge becoming Minister of Magic is not at all an accident as it seems.
Many people are optimistic about Barty Crouch's ascension to the post of Minister of Magic, but in order to combat him, many wizards use the fact that his son Barty Jr. is a Death Eater to discredit him.
Later, as everyone knows, Dumbledore declined the invitation of the Minister of Magic, and finally Fudge, who befriended the pure-blood wizard, got the position of Minister of Magic.
However, Fudge was one of them to discredit Barty Crouch.
"Mr. Anderson, what do you think of this?" Professor Broad looked at Albert, who was eating.
After putting down his fork and wiping the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief, Albert said calmly, "Barty Crouch is Barty Crouch, his son is his son, no matter what his son does, Nothing can erase what Barty Crouch has done."
Everyone looked at each other, Professor Broad was probably a little surprised to get such an answer, but he was obviously satisfied.
"Of course, you can't expect everyone to have rational judgment, most people are vulnerable to outside influence." Albert suddenly said, "If Harry Potter, who defeated the mysterious man, suddenly announced to everyone The mysterious man is still alive, what will happen?"
What will happen?
Everyone would think their savior was crazy.
"Don't bring this up to anyone," Professor Broad reminded kindly. "People in the wizarding world can't accept this fact, and they'll just try their best to deny it."
This is for Albert as a reminder that he doesn't need to get himself into trouble.
"Obviously." Albert shrugged and continued to immerse himself in the food he hadn't tried.
Adolf appropriately diverted the topic and talked about the recent bad news at Durmstrang Academy. The new headmaster Igor Karkaroff has made the school's reputation even worse. Many parents of students have Picked up his children from school and transferred to Beauxbatons School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
Nielsen told everyone the latest news he got, because some students copied the Grindelwald logo on their textbooks, on their clothes, trying to use it to scare people, but those who lost loved ones because of Grindelwald gave them some lessons.
"I read about this school in the book, and it is said that Durmstrang College is popular with black magic and does not accept Muggle wizards." Albert asked curiously, "By the way, the mark of Grindelwald is What?" he asked knowingly.
"Actually, that's not Grindelwald's mark, ignorant people would think that way." Nelson used his wand to draw a mark of the Deathly Hallows, which looked like a triangular eye with a vertical line in the middle of the pupil.
He shook his head helplessly and said, "This mark comes from the legend of the three brothers, Mr. Anderson, have you heard of the legend of the three brothers?"
"The legend of the three brothers in "The Story of Bedouin the Poet"?" Albert nodded to indicate that he had read it.
"Yes, the triangle is the Invisibility Cloak, the circle is the Resurrection Stone, and the vertical is the wand," Adolph explained, "The legend of the three brothers is actually very famous in our circle, and people think those legendary items are alchemy. product."
"Why did Grindelwald use it as a marker?" Albert continued.
"We think Grindelwald has found the legendary item," Professor Broad explained. "Of course, this cannot be proven. There are many legends in the wizarding world, but some of them may be related to the original facts. Deviated, but not without basis."
"Like a magic stone that can make people's elixir of life?" Albert smiled and didn't deny anything, because he knew more than others, and Grindelwald did get old wand.
While everyone was talking about the recently released banned trade list from the British Ministry of Magic,
Claude recommended to them his kind and helpful friend, Mr. Delacour, who works for the magic garden, and occasionally stops by as a raw material supplier, and said that he could help everyone if needed. .
Magic Garden is a good place, where there are many rare magical plants, which are available in limited quantities.
Of course, this Mr. Delacour is most notable for having a wife of Veela blood~IndoMTL.com~ and his daughter attending Beauxbatons Academy of Witchcraft and Wizardry, also very good.
Adolphe even joked that Albert's French was so good that he could try making a French pen pal.
Towards the end of the banquet, everyone focused on Albert and were surprised to learn that he was "Mumbo".
"What is Mabo?" Albert asked sideways.
"'Mumbo' is an ancient term for a wizard of Muggle descent, an affectionate name." Mr. Smith, ignoring the oddity on the crowd's faces, explained to Albert, "In 1692 This designation was popular before the International Confederation of Wizards Secrecy Act."
"Many people may have forgotten that prior to the implementation of the International Confederation of Wizarding Secrecy Act, most wizards believed that Muggle-born wizards were far more gifted than pure wizards." Professor Broad Kindly remind them. "Later, wizards began to stop believing in Muggles, and pure-blood supremacy began to spread, and this name was gradually abandoned by people."
"Of course, ancestry discrimination does not exist here. What everyone pays more attention to is wisdom and ability." Adolph said softly. He doesn't deny Brod's words, but that's the state of the wizarding world.
However, everyone present can see that Albert will not be excluded because of his identity, because he has made many famous wizards, and a large number of wizards will be willing to **** him.
It can't be said that the vast majority of wizards pay attention to blood, but in the face of true genius, everything seems to be less important.
After all, knowledge and ability are more worthy of respect.
A lot has been said since the Albert Council was invited here to the party.
