HP Approaches the Magical World

"Professor, what is deconstruction?"

Regarding the matter of learning new knowledge, Jon has a heart that is good at digging. If something squeezes into his blind spot, he will break the casserole and ask the end.

"The so-called deconstruction method, as the name suggests, is a method."

I just finished a relatively short practical lecture, and the next step is the topic.

"What do you think a wizard is?"

"What is a wizard?"

Jon didn't understand a bit: "We are wizards."

What is a wizard?

We are wizards.

This answer can be called exquisite, quite in line with certain philosophical points of view.

It's just a pity that Snape is not someone who likes philosophy.

"You are right, we are wizards, so what are we?"

Knowing that Jon was capable of sophistry, coupled with the tight time, after giving Jon more than ten seconds to react, Snape went straight to the point.

"The so-called wizard is a kind of life. In the human race, the wizard is just like a magical creature in the animal race. It is just a component and has magical power. But do you know why wizards have magical power?"

"Because of... blood?"

Jon felt that this answer might not make sense. If it was really because of blood, how could Muggle wizards and squibs explain it?

"Half right."

As a master of potions, Snape's scope is quite wide. If Dumbledore is the most well-informed person in the wizarding world, then Snape can undoubtedly stand under Dumbledore. front position.

And I have to say that Snape is a good teacher, his words are concise and straight to the point, and the last thing Jon wants to hear is nonsense.

It's a pity that sometimes you have to listen if you don't want to listen.

Except for Helga and Snape, none of the other teachers liked Jon so much. The tacit understanding between Lockhart and Jon was developed later.

"Wizard's bloodline is the biggest reason to attract magic power to stop. I don't know if you have heard of Salazar Slytherin's bloodline purification theory and a theory that is not very popular in the wizarding world, called 'wizard container Argument'?"

Jon nodded frantically. Not only has he heard of it, but he is also very familiar with these two theories!

He has not only heard of the former, but also used it himself. The latter is also the best possibility among the explanations that Helga told him.

The so-called wizard container theory means that wizards are a kind of container of magic power. Like magical animals, they carry "magic elements", which may be creatures of higher latitudes that operate in this world. As a reward, wizards can use magic, so the more magic elements in the wizard's body—that is, the more magic power, the stronger the wizard.

"You know it's easier to handle."

Snape was obviously not prepared to explain this theory to him in a long speech. In fact, in the wizarding world, there is no way to communicate properly among wizards with various opinions, because everyone is the same. If you deny my point of view, it is roughly equivalent to denying me as a person. In the end, it is basically difficult to end, or even a life-and-death outcome.

"If it is said that in the large group of human beings, all people come together to accept the screening of magic elements, then there must be many people who are unqualified, but are these people really because they have no blood?"

"Of course not. In theory, both the father and mother of a wizard child have the same bloodline as the wizard.

What this wizard child inherits is only half of the blood in the father and half of the mother's body—unless one party has a particularly strong blood that cannot be contested. "

like me.

Jon looked at Snape, various thoughts running through his mind.

The Hufflepuff bloodline in his body is like this. Once the bloodline of a legendary wizard enters the inheritance sequence, it is naturally much stronger than other wizard bloodlines. In the natural world where the jungle preys on the jungle, this is the irreversible law of life.

However, this does not mean that Jon's matrilineal blood is too weak. After all, Jon's current Patronus has won the honey badger is a real thing, and Jon will not deny this matter.

He guessed that his bloodline of the patron saint came from the legacy of the oriental bloodline, but the suspicion was just suspicion without any evidence.

Snape didn't know that Jon was distracted, or that Jon just slipped away when Snape paused, and immediately pulled his mind back when he heard Snape speak.

"The wizard container theory believes that the human body contains blood that is inherently attracted to magic, because so far, the entire Western magic world has not found Muggles that are not affected by magic. If they really have no way to learn magic, then they It should be like those animals that will never be disturbed by magic, such as badgers, are naturally immune to most spells, but there is no such discovery in the wizarding world, indicating that there is such a situation.”

"Since everyone has the potential to become a wizard, why do so many people not become wizards?"

Jon, who was silent for a long time, replied, "Because they weren't chosen?"

"Probably the meaning is correct."

"The emergence of wizards is doomed from birth. The most accepted theory is that all babies have a period of affinity with magic elements before they are born. If the magic affinity in the baby's body during this period is successful If you are inspired, you can become a wizard regardless of whether your blood is strong or not, but your talents are different, and the heights you can reach in the future are different."

"This is what you call 'chosen'. In fact, this is a very fateful thing. Many people's brothers and sisters have become wizards, but I have not. You can't say that it is the blood of their families who have become wizards." question."

"Pure-blooded families often choose pure-blooded families to marry, nothing more than to ensure their own family's offspring, but wizards and wizards with relatively strong blood are indeed more likely to give birth to wizard offspring. Based on this, the founder of Slytherin proposed blood Purifying the theory is actually for the continuation of the wizard, but his method...is indeed problematic, and the possibility of the popularization of that potion is too low."

"Because blood is the reason why wizards attract magic elements to become magic power, so magic power flows with blood most of the time, except when casting spells."

"Having said so much, here comes my question."

Professor Snape was serious: "What do you think is the easiest thing to catch for a wizard?"
