Chapter 610: Minor Changes
Under the starry dome, blue magical fireworks bloomed brilliantly.
A group of glowing paper airplanes formed a formation and flew over Qiu Zhang's head; Michael borrowed Wade's magic camera and was taking pictures everywhere; Luna, wearing a sparkling cake skirt, was dancing and spinning by the window for her own amusement.
The puppet Vader drank happily with these overexcited students and partied all night long, while Vader himself had returned to the dormitory quietly.
It was dark at night and as Wade sat by the window he could hear his classmates cheering and singing.
If I flew out the window at this moment, the windows of Ravenclaw and Gryffindor towers would surely be exceptionally bright, right?
He leaned against the window, the cool glass against his forehead, as if it could slightly cool his surging thoughts.
Passing the first event of the league was insignificant, but what Antoine said stirred up unspeakable waves in his heart. The more he thought about it, the more difficult it was to calm down.
He has many unrealistic fantasies, but these ideas would probably be difficult to resonate with even in Ravenclaw, which values wisdom.
Vader blinked. The shadows of the trees in the Forbidden Forest swayed in the moonlight, just like his mood at the moment, silent and turbulent.
The trampled grass at the edge of the Forbidden Forest was now empty, with only some hoof prints of varying depths remaining.
……
On the way to the competition in the morning, Wade also saw the giant elephant covered in brocade slowly eating the leaves of the bushes in the morning mist. It had some golden decorations hanging on its body, which was particularly conspicuous in the sun.
But the three warriors of Mandor School were completely wiped out. Just now in the lounge, Wade heard several Ravenclaws say that the dark-skinned Professor Sunil hurriedly left with his students without even waiting for dinner.
"They said they couldn't stand the horrible weather in the Scottish Highlands!" said fifth-grader Marietta in a proud, yet sarcastic tone. "They don't even bother to cast a warming spell on their own elephant!"
"What else are they going to say?" Another girl leaned in and laughed, "Are they going to say - it's too embarrassing, so we don't want to stay?"
Several people laughed, and the silver teaspoons in their hands clinked against the porcelain plates.
Not only Mando, I heard that after dinner, the colorful magic train of Castellobus slowly drove away with light blue steam;
At curfew, Aketim's flying carpet swept over the surface of the Black Lake, luring the giant squid out of the lake. Its huge eyes on the side of its head stared blankly at the sky, looking stupid.
All the remaining schools, except Hogwarts, had one contestant who was able to compete in the second event.
"Luckily you made your choice in the end." Michael secretly told Wade himself, "Otherwise there would only be two or three schools left, and our Minister Fudge would definitely be mad."
"What's the harm in that?" Vader asked in a low voice.
Michael thought for a long time before he said, "It doesn't seem so...it might be better to have a fool take the position of Minister of Magic."
……
Wade withdrew his gaze from the window. He was not sleepy at all. His eyes wandered between the ink screen and the quill for a moment. Finally, he took a deep breath, spread the parchment on the table, stretched out his hand, and a dark blue quill flew between his fingers. The tip of the pen wrote the beginning -
To Delain:
Günter Delain is Grindelwald's right-hand man. Writing the letter to him is no different from writing it to Grindelwald himself.
Of course, Vader was careful not to sign his name, nor to use his own familiar handwriting. The feather pen was enchanted, and the handwriting was a typical print font, elegant and smooth, but without any personal characteristics.
Although the methods used by the Witch Party in the past were chilling - even now, their disregard for human life was still very obvious - but Wade had to admit that in this magical world with high walls built by tradition and prejudice, only the Witch Party was still trying to shake some corrupt and stubborn things.
Perhaps only they are willing to understand and practice some of Wade's ideas.
To Delain:
The first event has ended, and I'm sure you've already seen everything through the stream mirror, so I won't go into detail here. However, the difference in the level of the warriors from other schools is unbelievable, and the game is much less interesting.
Antoine proposed compiling the teaching methods of the Charms Workshop into a book. I wonder if this was at the behest of Mr. Grindelwald? Would improving the way spells are learned lead to more outstanding wizards emerging in large numbers? How much can the power of words change?
As far as I know, the content of Hogwarts courses has not changed much for hundreds of years, and the entire wizarding world has a stale smell. Apart from the Hogwarts Express, the other food, clothing, housing and transportation are probably not much different from hundreds of years ago.
Compared with the ever-changing Muggle society, everything here seems to be locked in the Middle Ages.
So I can understand your last comment on the amendment to the International Statute of Secrecy. We can all see the fear of the Muggle community among knowledgeable people. However, rough measures are not advisable, and a sudden change in the Statute of Secrecy will definitely not benefit the wizarding world.
Perhaps my ideas may seem too mild to you, but I believe that real change does not come from overturning one or two legal provisions, or from changing the minds of those vested interests at the top, but from changing from the smallest details.
For example, why not develop products that are both practical and non-controversial, targeting the common pain points of Muggle society?
Many problems that do not seem to be problems to us actually cause great troubles to many Muggles.
For example - they hate being fat, but they don't have the willpower to lose weight, and we have a magic weight loss potion;
They want beauty, we have beauty potions and soft light badges;
They want their skin to be smooth and delicate, their hair to be soft and thick, and they hope that their items don’t need to be repeatedly cleaned and washed. When they are injured, they cannot heal quickly...
And all these problems can be solved with just one or two spells or potions.
Of course, since the existence of the wizarding world cannot be exposed at present, it is best not to use spells, and potions need to be improved to the point where Muggles can take them.
By diluting the effect of the potion dozens or hundreds of times, it would simply be a "useful medicine" for Muggles and would not arouse suspicion or violate the Statute of Secrecy.
Delain, if we can use a little bit of magic to solve those problems, perhaps when the wizarding world has to be exposed, this "small change" will promote friendly exchanges between the two sides and make most Muggles accept and admire wizards, rather than being hostile and hunting them down as before.
Of course, I know that my ideas are not mature, but I believe that if we do this, it will be much more useful than the Cruciatus Curse, death, and killing. What do you think?
Looking forward to your reply. 】
