Drink Black Tea Calmly at Hogwarts

When Dumbledore was talking about history with Zhang Xu, he mentioned that before the International Federation of Wizards Secrecy Act came into effect, there were many wizards serving the royal family and nobles in the UK.

The idea of ​​"having learned literature and martial arts, and bringing goods to the imperial family" is not only found in the East. There are many wizards who follow the secular government for various purposes.

And the royal family and nobles who know the role of wizards will not give up these useful subordinates.

In the society at that time, people who could read, write, and calculate were very rare, and some nobles were even illiterate for generations.

And all the wizards received higher education at Hogwarts, and they were all able to write and do calculations. The illiterate ones were killed in Potions class before they even graduated from Hogwarts.

These knowledgeable and educated wizards can also be used as senior advisors and scribes.

Not to mention the value of the wizard's force. When encountering wild beasts and bandits in the territory, sometimes one or two knights and farmers with hoes and pitchforks are not as effective as a wizard.

Especially in the era when medical standards were low hundreds of years ago, having a qualified wizard in potions in the family could increase the average life span of the entire family by at least ten years.

What noble would not like such an all-rounder who is both civil and military, capable of serving as general and minister, and can also cure diseases.

At that time, the nobility had only two options for appointing literati, church priests and wizards who graduated from Hogwarts.

The problem is that there is a big boss above the priest, and the nobles can only be regarded as their second boss.

The nobles are not stupid. When recruiting, they will definitely give priority to wizards who regard themselves as big bosses, not to mention that the wizard's force value can surpass the priest who only talks.

However, the church that had been deprived of its business would naturally rise up to resist, and the witch-hunting campaign launched after deceiving the public was successful.

Later, the "International Federation of Wizards Secrecy" was born, and wizards began to hide.

For example, the Malfoy family completely cut off all contact with Muggle society after the "Secret Act" came into effect, and then refused to admit that they had any contact with Muggles, even if they were slandered by historians.

However, there are some wizards who did not break away from the British royal family and nobility after the Statute of Secrecy came into effect.

You said that I am popular around the big boss, drink hot food, and have people to serve me every day, and the big boss will carefully consider the suggestions I make. Why should I give up a job with less work, high salary, and high power and hide in a ravine with you? ah.

It is impossible to hide this aspect, it is impossible to hide it in this life. I am a farmer but I don’t know how to farm. I can only maintain my life by working for a big boss. Entering a noble castle feels like going home. The feeling in a noble castle is much better than at home! Everyone there is talented, and the maids are pretty. I like it!

Although the royal family and nobles were openly afraid that enemy wizards would be harmful to them, the royal family and nobles were not fools. They still knew that the best way to guard against enemy wizards was to have wizards around them.

Just like the best way to prevent an atomic bomb from being dropped on your head is to own an atomic bomb yourself, "wizard deterrence" has prevented wizards from truly breaking away from Muggle society for hundreds of years.

Moreover, the witch hunting movement at that time could not control the royal family and nobles. Even if they were found, they would find a slave to take the blame, which was not a problem for the feudal lords.

At first, the Ministry of Magic planned to use tough measures to deal with these wizards, but a major incident occurred shortly after the implementation of the "Secrecy Act" and the Ministry of Magic had to make a compromise.

The vast majority of wizards do not farm, herd, mine or smelt. Their daily necessities such as firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, tea, cloth, porcelain, wood bricks, gold, silver, copper, and iron must be purchased from Muggles.

Shortly after the implementation of the Statute of Secrecy, wizards almost broke out in famine after they completely cut off contact with Muggles. The Ministry of Magic had to rely on wizards who had taken refuge in the royal family and nobles to establish communication with the Muggle government. and trade mechanisms.

At the same time, these wizards took advantage of this to force the Ministry of Magic to admit that their actions were legal, otherwise they would advise their bosses to double the price of food before selling it to the wizarding society.

In the end, the Ministry of Magic had to compromise with these wizards. As long as they did not use magic in front of ordinary people, the Ministry of Magic would not care.

From then on, this group of wizards lived among the royal family and nobles.

Because they are spurned by the magical society, the children of these wizards cannot enter the Hogwarts system to learn magic. They can only learn at home with their elders.

This makes the descendants of these families not as good as Hogwarts graduates in terms of overall performance, but they are often better than Hogwarts students in terms of family expertise.

Moreover, these wizards also took advantage of the wizarding society's exclusion and discrimination against Muggle-born wizards and kept poaching them to their side.

Think about it, these Muggle-born wizards have been subtly influenced by their parents for so many years since childhood. When there is no hope for success in the magical society, someone suddenly gives you a job as a national civil servant. Not only does it work for less, but the salary is higher, but it also helps introduce potential partners. What do the wizards themselves think? What do the wizard's parents think?

Of course I agreed.

With the addition of these new wizards, the wizards who had been separated from the magical society not only received fresh blood, but also indirectly learned the latest research results of Hogwarts.

During the colonial period, wizards from the royal family and aristocrats followed the colonists to expand their territory and established a vast territory for Lafayette.

However, after they rushed to the east more than a hundred years ago with the hope of making money, many of them never came back, which caused the wizards in their lineage to be severely weakened.

This led to the fact that when Voldemort was causing trouble in the 1970s, they who were at the forefront of the Cold War were unable to take action against Voldemort.

In the Three Broomsticks bar, Horatio Rodney and Zhang Xu talked about the history of their line of wizards while drinking.

There are also some conflicts with the records in Hogwarts.

As for how much personal information was mixed into his words, and whether the reason for sitting back and watching Voldemort grow bigger in the end was because of the Cold War, this question needs to be explored slowly in the future.

The bottle of rum was finished, and Rodney's story was finished.

Just now, Zhang Xu wanted to order Rodney a glass of sherry, but he was despised by the other party.

"Only kids like you drink this kind of sugar water. As a descendant of Horatio Nelson and George Bridges Rodney, soldiers in the Royal Navy disdain to drink sugar water."

So Zhang Xu simply asked for a bottle of "Nelson's Blood" and the two of them drank it.

It's a pity that Zhang Xu didn't prepare black gunpowder, otherwise he would have played a wine test trick in the sailing ship era in front of the old navy: mix rum and black gunpowder. Black powder soaked in wine can also be ignited.

You have a story and I have wine. After you finish telling your story, I have finished drinking my wine.

Horatio Rodney's mission for today's trip was successfully completed, and it was not easy for him to stay on the territory of the Ministry of Magic any longer. In the end, he left after a few polite words with Zhang Xu.

After Zhang Xu sat in the bar for a while and waited for the drunkenness to wear off, he could only go back and write a report and send it to his superiors.

As for Harry Potter who was carried away earlier, Zhang Xu had long forgotten about him.
