Hogwarts: My name is the Unforgivable Curse

Before the Secrecy Act came into effect, and for a period of time after it came into effect, magical society was almost entirely dominated by pure-blood families - they had the best talents, the most property, the most complete inheritance of knowledge, and the best ability to ensure their own safety, so naturally They will have a role similar to that of a country squire, attracting scattered wizards from the surrounding area to accept their protection, and gradually form a community of wizards.

As time goes by, the wizarding community gradually grows in size, and the power and property in the hands of the pure-blood families as managers naturally also continue to expand. This is why they can leave such rich assets to them today. In the seventeenth century, these families also formed the Wizards' Council to coordinate the entire magical society...

Today's famous families: Black, Gunter, Malfoy, Lestrange... basically all came here this way.

"...In other words, the pure-blood family and the goblins at that time reached some kind of cooperation, and the purpose was to completely control the magical society after forcing it to shrink and become invisible?"

Avada asked with a frown.

"I'm not finished yet."

Professor Baker smiled at him: "This is just a historical interpretation focusing on the goblin rebellion. You should listen to the state of the magical society after the "Secrecy Act" officially came into effect..."

"After the wizarding society turned invisible and the goblin rebellion ended, the lives of wizards naturally became much more comfortable - during that time, the population of wizards increased significantly; and after the wizards' parliament was reorganized into the Ministry of Magic, The ability to manage society has also been rapidly strengthened, allowing the original multiple wizarding communities to officially become a whole... The entire magical society seems to have become more orderly, and is developing vigorously and rapidly."

"The price of such development is that the development of basic theories of magic in society has suddenly become very slow. All our existing technologies are basically improved on the basis of that time. There are only a handful of innovations that follow theoretical breakthroughs.”

"What's even more terrible is that due to the complexity and difficulty of higher-level knowledge, in the absence of standard and large-scale knowledge dissemination channels, there is even less and less knowledge in society. And the Ministry of Magic has also begun to maintain public order. For this reason, there have been systematic restrictions on the spread of knowledge... Can you imagine that hundreds of years ago, today's regulatory knowledge such as the Illusion Curse and Legilimency was still necessary for everyone?"

"Then the reason why the Magic University never appeared..."

Avada's eyebrows knitted even tighter.

"They are the managers of the magical society, or pure-blood families."

Professor Baker drank the cold coffee in one gulp, wiped his mouth casually, and then said: "Unlike the magical society, their small circle contains the most complete knowledge and the most wealth, allowing them to stay in the magical society. After the decline of society, it became the absolute leader in one fell swoop. If ordinary people want to obtain that knowledge and wealth, they must choose to work for them. And this 'efficiency' contains some shady elements..."

"Dark wizard."

For a moment, Avada recalled what was in the huge book, and blurted out the answer in her heart.

"That's right, Dark Wizard."

Professor Baker sneered again: "For hundreds of years, almost all dark wizards have been related to pure-blood families. After all, almost all black magic can be learned there. And those who have complete knowledge can also learn it in The dark wizards who study wantonly with the support of huge financial resources are the main force that promotes the development of magic in the past few hundred years - you have read that book, and you probably know what the so-called 'wanton research' is exactly, right? "

"In this way, the gap between the pure-blood family circle and the magical society gradually widens, and their ability to control and suppress society becomes more and more stable. Theoretically, as time goes by, this control and suppression will eventually develop to the point where it is unbreakable. To an extent, and in fact it is indeed the case - Voldemort was a landmark event more than ten years ago. Can you imagine what the current society would be like if Dumbledore did not restrain him?"

"But Dumbledore's genius was just an accident, and the emergence of Voldemort was the product of hundreds of years of foundation of the entire pure-blood family and can be copied. If this trend continues, sooner or later the situation of pure-blood domination of everything will be truly realized - now When a Voldemort appears but fails to step up to be the next Dumbledore."

"This is the script written by those ambitious people, a script that will last for hundreds of years and help them rule everything in magical society."

"Now do you know why those 'Muggles' with flintlock guns were able to 'persecute' wizards back then?"

"..."

Avada suddenly realized why the pure-blood family spent so much effort to plot against Dumbledore.

Not only because he solved Voldemort and gave them a sense of crisis, but also because he had also noticed the current situation mentioned by Professor Baker and publicly announced that he would solve this problem - what Dumbledore said at the end of his second year The speech was actually his declaration of war against pure-blood families and the current situation of magical society.

Today's magical society, where he can't see it... is probably even more dangerous than when the original Voldemort was alive.

"Voldemort's emergence is truly an iconic milestone."

Professor Baker continued: "Fifty years ago, he cursed the Defense Against the Dark Arts professorship at Hogwarts, which resulted in a significant decline in the quality of the courses and a direct cutoff in the combat effectiveness of the new generation of wizards. This was probably an attempt by a pure-blood family. One—I joined Hogwarts back then just to study the curse and see if there was a way to break it, but in the end I almost lost myself."

"...So, you actually had a backup plan at that time?"

"Yes. Before setting off, I told the other professors the location where I made the Horcrux, which is the room in the Room of Requirement. So after they realized that there was something wrong with the other me, they would sneak in and rescue me... But this It still doesn’t affect my gratitude to you and Balon.”

Looking at Avada's slightly resentful eyes, Professor Baker quickly changed the subject after coughing dryly: "So, it was after our first-generation principal Nobby Rich realized all the above problems that he was born to change this society. idea. He relied on his outstanding strength and superb social skills to organize forces, win over the remnants of the witchcraft, and even broke through the restrictions in one fell swoop as a Muggle-born, sitting on the position of Minister of Magic... But unfortunately, he ended up Still unable to deal with the pure-blood family, he was poisoned and plotted while in office, forced to resign, and died of illness not long after."

"But this is not the end."

His voice became heavy and solemn again: "Where the pure-blood families cannot see, he has long left his most precious legacy, which is here... a real magic university."

"This will be the beginning of change for the entire magical society."
