Connor's Hogwarts

Chapter 17 The peaceful preschool life is about to end

"Connor! Come on!"

"George! Quick pass!"

In a large open space near the Burrow, the brothers Connor and the Weasleys were playing mini-Quidditch, 2v2, with Connor and Charlie playing against the twin brothers. Because it is mini-Quidditch, there are no bludgers or golden snitches. The two teams only need to throw the quaffle into the opponent's ball frame. The current battle situation is fierce, both sides are anxious, and neither of them has scored a goal.

What? You said changing the world? Emmm Quidditch is so fun!

Connor had played with broomsticks at his grandfather's house before, but he had no interest in playing with him because he had no one to play with. Sure enough, the game requires more people to be happy.

But this time when Connor got on the broom, he felt something was wrong. He seemed to be more flexible?

Connor felt this was indeed the case after flying around on his broom for several times. His athletic ability seemed to have improved a lot. Although it wasn't too obvious, it was still noticeable.

I think it's the effect of the "Sutra of Immortality", and it can produce good results after just a few days of practice. The Far Eastern Curse is indeed a good thing.

Moreover, Connor swung the flying broom, a magical creature, and threw the Quaffle. The Quaffle passed between the twins and hit the hole accurately! Flying broomsticks are amazing.

"Well done!"

"Good shot!" Audience A (Ivan) and B (Ron) shouted loudly.

Connor was feeling the feeling of controlling the broom. As we all know, all vehicles must have two things, one is power and the other is steering wheel. Obviously, the broom does not have these two things.

In fact, the brooms are more high-end than Connor imagined. Each broom is engraved with various magic patterns. It is the most complex magic pattern alchemy creation that Connor has seen since learning magic patterns. Connor could only identify the simplest "floating" magic patterns, and everything else was too complicated to see.

The power of the broom comes from the magic power of the wizard, so we can know that there will be a magic pattern transformed by magic power in the broom, and this must be a core magic pattern. The competing broom shops all rely on this "core magic" to make a living , whose magic pattern is better optimized and the magic power conversion efficiency is higher, whose broom will sell well.

As for the "steering wheel" of the broom, it involves a series of complex magic patterns. Although the magic in this world is very idealistic, it cannot ignore the basic rules. You can't fly the broom how you want for no reason. It just flies.

Although in fact, the broomstick does fly how you want it to fly, but well, Connor is a little confused. In fact, in the final analysis, most wizards in the wizarding world know this and don’t know why. Most people know how to use a broom as soon as they ride it, but they don't know that a broom represents the crystallization of hundreds of years of "magic research" by magic pattern wizards.

But now these core technologies are in the hands of a few families, just like the magic patterns of painting magic are in the hands of Connor's family. These families who have mastered special magic patterns are the capitalists in the wizarding world. Unfortunately, the wizards of these families do not have the consciousness that "they are actually the big boss."

Some old wizarding families are proud of being a pure-blood family but not proud of how much money they have. After all, as a wizard, you never worry about food and clothing. When you graduate from Hogwarts, what you will think about is that you will be looked down upon if you don't have a job, not that you will starve to death on the streets if you don't have a job.

According to Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs theory, wizards are a group of people who have been on the path of respecting needs and self-realization needs since birth. They are people who have escaped from low-level tastes. Wizards who have more money and interests value fame more. , so wizards don't even care much about letting goblins preside over Gringotts and manage their wealth.

Of course, another reason is that learning magic patterns is too difficult and tedious. Like the Connor family's painting magic patterns or the flying broomstick magic patterns, there is no need to take any confidentiality measures at all. They are placed there openly and anyone can learn them if they want. Whether you can learn or not depends on your ability to learn. However, in fact, not many wizards would study this specifically...

"Connor be careful!!"

Connor dodged the Quaffle thrown by George, scratched his head and said, "Sorry, I got distracted."

"Oh my god! Can you lose your mind while playing Quidditch?" George said exaggeratedly.

"Hey, I thought of something happy."

"What happy thing?"

"Well, I thought of a new monster card!" Connor gave a random reason, "Passy, ​​please replace me."

"Huh? Ah, but I, I don't know how," Patsy said as he took the broom in a hurry.

"I believe you! Come on!" Connor patted Patsy on the shoulder and smiled.

"Okay, okay, I'll try." Patsy took a deep breath and stepped on the broom.

"Connor, why don't you play anymore?" Ivan and Ron ran over and asked.

"It's nothing, I just suddenly thought of something, and I think I need to think about it." Connor shook his head and said, then ran to the side and sat in a daze.

Ivan and Ron looked at each other, and Ivan shrugged and said, "Don't worry, he always does this, even at home. He often suddenly becomes dazed, just leave it alone."

"I see."

——

Connor did think of something. After thinking about it carefully, Connor found that there was something wrong with wizard society. Wizard society was a deformed society.

Wizards don’t value wealth very much because they don’t have to worry about eating and drinking. They don’t worry about eating and drinking because the wizarding world is extremely rich in materials. But why is the wizarding world extremely rich in materials? Muggles cannot achieve great material wealth, so why do wizards do it? That's because this "great richness" is based on Muggle society.

Most wizards are not engaged in production, so many of wizards' basic needs come from Muggles. Whether it is food or other daily necessities, raw materials are purchased from the Muggle world, reprocessed, and then sold to wizards.

But where did the money for purchasing raw materials from the Muggle world come from? Wizards do not use Muggle currency, so the answer is simple. It is the result of a compromise between the Muggle world and the wizarding world.

For example, in the agreement signed between the Ministry of Magic and the British high-level officials, wizards will not appear in front of people. We guarantee that the wizarding world will not affect the human world. We will defend you against the power of the foreign wizarding world, but you must at least ensure our food, clothing, housing and transportation, right?

Therefore, the basic living expenses of thousands of wizards in the UK are guaranteed by 50 million British Muggles.

It doesn’t mean a meal or a piece of clothing. Maybe the output of a wizard farm can meet the basic needs of wizards, but it is impossible for a farm to grow all the vegetables, and wizards cannot eat only one kind of vegetables, and... Connor also I have never seen a wizard raising cattle.

Basic material needs are guaranteed, so each wizard can live the way he wants. They can freely pursue power, wealth, truth, and food. Because they are the holders of the mystery, they have no influence on ordinary humans. It is said that they are not born in a group.

Connor discovered that there was something wrong with his butt. Ahem (serious face), Connor was used to putting his butt in the position of a wizard, because he himself was a wizard.

But as an ordinary human being, if you know that there is such a group of people. They will use all kinds of magical and omnipotent magic. They can easily take away your life silently. They have no contribution to this society, and you have to pay taxes to support them and prevent them from starving to death. If you don't follow the rules and use the Imperius Curse on you. Moreover, you are not born with the ability to learn magic!

Then you must be thinking, woc? Is it necessary for such a person to exist? A big Ivan will destroy them all.

This is what our ancestors said. We are not worried about scarcity but inequality. If everyone doesn’t know magic, then let’s treat it as a joke. It turns out that your kid really knows magic. That doesn’t work. Why can’t I learn it? What? Born this way? Well, since I can't get it, let's just stop asking for it.

The main contradiction between wizarding society and Muggle society is that only wizards can use magic while Muggles cannot, and it is irreconcilable.

That's why the wizarding world needs to be hidden and cannot be discovered. Only then did Connor realize that the world of Harry Potter was never a fairy tale.

Connor was frustrated for 0.1 second, then slapped his forehead and said angrily: "I'm a wizard! Why should I think from the perspective of a Muggle?" Then he smiled heartlessly and said: "Percy !Do you want to change someone! I’m fine again!”

fo, being able to produce and sell one's own food does not mean that one must "produce and sell one's own food", okay? I looked back at the comments and found it baffling. Wizards can indeed produce their own food, but how many kinds of food can you grow if you are just a wizard? Do you eat the same thing every day? Besides, if you don't trade meat with Muggles, why don't you kill a unicorn every day? If you can make vegetables quickly, can you also make living things quickly?
