Just a Defense Against the Dark Arts Professor
Chapter 401 Wizards and Muggles
The expression on Sherlock's face was calm, and there was no hint of anger in his voice.
But Draco felt an inexplicable pressure. However, the pure-blood education he received since childhood did not make him surrender directly. Instead, he seemed to be still tough, but in fact he spoke in an explaining tone.
"Wizards and Muggles have never been the same species. We are born with the superiority of magic, just like Muggles will have a sense of superiority when facing animals like orangutans. A Muggle will be willing to give to orangutans Become a volunteer? This is an insult to our tribe! It is also an insult to the identity of a wizard!"
Sherlock didn't rush to refute Draco or forcefully lead him into the classroom, but asked.
"Why are you comparing the relationship between wizards and Muggles to Muggles and orangutans?"
"Because that's what my father taught me!" Draco seemed to have gained courage when he realized that Sherlock didn't reprimand him.
"For a family that maintains pure-blood wizards, their descendants will almost certainly be wizards with the innate ability to use magic. Even if a squib appears in a low-probability situation, the squibs still have magic in their bodies. It's just that It’s just that you can’t use magic, which is fundamentally different from Muggles.”
"Whether the body contains magic power is the biggest difference between wizards and Muggles. This gap is so big that the species difference between orangutans and humans is the same! Just like orangutans will never learn to speak or think like humans, Muggles It will never be possible to master magic and learn magic!"
From these words, it is enough to tell that Draco's thinking has been distorted by Lucius for a long time. The question of whether wizards and Muggles are the same species has actually existed in the magical world many years ago. After some debate, the result of the debate was that the Ministry of Magic decided on the nature.
Wizards are humans too, and Muggles are humans too. As long as they are humans, there is no essential difference.
Such a conclusion is certainly acceptable to most people in the wizarding world. After all, mixed-blood wizards and Muggle wizards still account for the majority of wizards. Those families that always insist on pure blood to continue their descendants are still in the minority.
But it is this small minority that actually occupies the vast majority of resources and power in the magical world.
Although the magical government has determined the nature, for people from pure-blood families, this sentence is no different from farting. That is, they just listen to the sound and hold their noses to endure the smell. How should they discriminate or continue to discriminate after that? No matter how we educate, we still educate.
Just like Draco now.
After listening to all his statements, Sherlock did not get angry or show any dissatisfaction, but spoke seriously.
"The understanding your father taught you has been problematic from the beginning. I won't say that he is wrong, but I hope you will listen to me attentively. My understanding of the difference between wizards and Muggles, and who is right? Wrong, you decide for yourself.”
"What is the most critical point that distinguishes humans from orangutans? Do humans have abilities that orangutans don't have? They both have two arms and two legs, and they are both made of flesh, blood, and bones. So physiologically Structurally, there is a huge difference?”
"The real difference between humans and orangutans is not the body or a certain ability, but the brain and mind. Humans also have the same innate desires as orangutans, but the difference is that humans know that such desires are bad and not good. It is good for oneself but harmful to others, and then you will set up rules and regulations to restrain yourself.”
“Some of these constraints are invisible but are established by convention, which we call ‘morals’; some are visible and are expressly stipulated for everyone to abide by.
Also called ‘law’. The combination of these two things makes people social, and it is precisely because of this that there is an essential difference between humans and orangutans and all other things, rather than a special ability. "
"Is there such a distinction between wizards and Muggles? I know you have never been in contact with many Muggles since you can remember, but there are so many students with impure blood from Hogwarts. They Are they all animalistic? Or do you feel that you are different from them in terms of thinking and communication? You claim to have pure blood, but you are different from those who have Muggle blood, or are completely born from Muggles. There is no difference between little wizards, and they are not even as good as others when it comes to learning magic. So what is the difference between wizards and Muggles? Can you tell me clearly, Draco?"
Draco blushed, as if he felt that the concepts he had always adhered to were impacted by Sherlock's words.
He held back all his strength and wanted to refute, but after Sherlock raised the question, he asked without hesitation.
"Then Professor, how do you explain the difference between magic? Only those who have magic and can use magic are called wizards, and those who can't use magic are Muggles. We have it, they don't. This is the most essential difference! Just like you The biggest difference between humans and orangutans just mentioned is that their brains are the same as their minds, there is no fundamental difference!”
Faced with his doubts, Sherlock just asked a question.
"Can a human being combine with an orangutan to give birth to a person with a brain and thinking? And can a wizard and a Muggle give birth to a wizard?"
Draco was suddenly speechless.
He still seemed to want to search his mind for all available truths and arguments to deny Sherlock, but even if he tried hard, he couldn't think of a reasonable refutation.
Sherlock just looked at him quietly, giving him enough time to think. After Draco was completely speechless, he asked another question.
"Do you know what a pure-blood family defines as whether a wizard is a pure-blood?"
As the future sole heir of the Malfoy family, Draco certainly remembered such a noble proof quite clearly.
"A person must be called a pure-blood wizard only if both of his parents are wizards for three generations."
This is a well-established rule in the pure-blood circle. Even the Death Eaters follow this rule to cleanse those wizards they consider to be non-pure-blood wizards.
After all, if this restriction is taken to the extreme, and all parents and ancestors from recorded history must be wizards before they can be called pure-blood wizards, then basically the so-called pure-blood family must be the same as more than 95% of the magic world. people are enemies.
"So the requirement for pure blood is only three generations?
"Sherlock hit the nail on the head and completely pulled it off. Lucius had been instilling in Draco the fig leaf that wizards and Muggles were two different species.
"That is to say, among the people you identify with who are the same as you, most of them still have blood in their bodies that you despise. Is the so-called pride of pure blood only worth these three generations?"
"Magic power is indeed unique to wizards, but it is not completely insulated from Muggles. As long as wizards and Muggles continue to combine and reproduce, it is entirely possible that everyone in the world may become a wizard in the future. , or it can be said that the world is developing in this direction.”
"It is precisely because of this that the presence or absence of magic power cannot be the basis for species classification. It is just a kind of talent, a talent that can give people more development possibilities and civilization, and the inheritance of this talent It’s not just limited to wizards, this is enough to prove that wizards and Muggles are both human beings, and there is no essential difference between them.”
Draco was completely silent, unable to think of any words to argue with Sherlock.
But even though he had nothing to say, Draco did not give up his persistence.
The belief that has been firmly held for more than ten years cannot be destroyed by Sherlock in a few words.
Of course, Sherlock didn't expect that he could make this spoiled young Malfoy turn around with just a few words of his own.
Human beings have always been very complex creatures, and convincing a person with words is undoubtedly one of the most torturous and difficult things in the world.
So Sherlock brought Draco here today.
Although Draco was not convinced, at least now he no longer had any reason to refuse and come in to do volunteer work for the children. `interestingw
After waiting outside the door for a while, Sherlock pushed the door open with him and walked into this very simple-looking classroom.
When they opened the door, there were already a dozen pairs of eyes looking towards them in the classroom.
Because Mrs. Chris is the only one in charge of this orphanage, there are not many orphans taken in here. There are only four or five of them, the youngest of whom looks to be only five or six years old, and the oldest is only twelve or thirteen. years old.
The person who is currently supervising these children in the classroom is a girl who is about the same age as Draco, but she looks only sixteen or seventeen years old. The girl's temperament and conversation are much more similar to Draco. It is a child who has not yet grown up and is much more mature.
Seeing Sherlock and Draco walking in together, the girl who was teaching them how to weave flower baskets right in front of the children was a little confused.
"Hello? Who are you?"
This is actually a problem with the Confusion Curse. Under normal circumstances, Mrs. Chris should have brought them into this classroom to introduce them to the children first. However, because Sherlock was willing to use the Confusion Curse to cheat, Mrs. Chris missed it. about this.
Now Sherlock can only explain to this girl first.
"My name is Sherlock Forrest, and this is my nephew Draco Malfoy. We are doing volunteer work."
"Why didn't Granny Chris bring you here?" the girl asked warily.
"She seemed to be in a hurry to prepare lunch. She brought us to the door and left first. If you are worried, you can ask first." Sherlock said.
Even if Sherlock takes the initiative, the girl will ask first.
She called out the oldest-looking boy named "Wilson" from the children below, and asked him to look at Sherlock and the two of them first, and then trotted out to find Mrs. Chris.
Draco was very dissatisfied with the girl's vigilant attitude just now. He stood next to Sherlock and whispered.
"She looked like we were begging to come over."
Sherlock did not respond to his words, but patted him on the shoulder and motioned him to look in one direction in the classroom.
There was a six- or seven-year-old girl with a missing front tooth who had never met strangers many times. She gave them a friendly and somewhat funny smile.
Sherlock also smiled and waved to the little girl, while whispering to Draco.
"Why don't you say hello to this cute little girl?"
Draco folded his hands on his chest, his eyes were full of disgust, and he made a disdainful "cut" sound in his mouth, without any intention of responding.
His attitude is very embarrassing and deserves a beating, but Sherlock has no intention of forcing him. You can't expect a normal person to undergo subversive changes in just a few minutes.
The girl didn't let Sherlock and the others wait long before she trotted back to the classroom. It could be seen that she was running in a hurry and didn't want to keep them waiting.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Forrester, I have already confirmed it with Granny Chris. My name is Hailey, and I am also from this orphanage. I am temporarily working as a laborer here."
This little girl named Hailey seemed very polite. After confirming Sherlock's identity, she didn't bother to rest and apologized breathlessly.
Of course, Sherlock didn't have any thoughts about what just happened. He blinked and asked.
"So Miss Haley, what are we going to do next?"
After confirming their identities, Haili was not polite, and it seemed that she also entertained other volunteers who came to the orphanage.
"Then please help take care of the youngest children. Their hands-on ability is still relatively poor. It would be best if adults are watching next to them."
Sherlock and Draco followed Haley to a corner in front of the classroom. The younger children gathered here, making it easier for adults to supervise them.
After arranging them, Haili went to the back to collect the best handiwork from the older children.
Draco and the youngest children, who looked to be only five or six years old, stared at each other with big eyes.
The children looked at him curiously, and he regarded himself as too arrogant to speak.
After a while, the children felt that the eldest brother with light blond hair was not interesting, and turned their attention back to how to weave the branches into flower baskets.
Draco felt humiliated. He felt that these Muggle brats were looking down on him.
Sherlock ignored Draco, who had a more childlike mentality than these children, and instead greeted the little girl who smiled at them in a friendly manner.
"Hello, may I meet you?"
The little girl who was carefully weaving a flower basket raised her head, and when she saw Sherlock, she showed her harmless smile again.
