[HP] Magic didn't give up on you

Eli's Christmas break is surprisingly full.

He has a lot of new experiences that he wants to share with his father: the history of wizards he learned in the history of magic class, books related to Muggle studies borrowed from the library, the interpretation of the internal causes of Muggle British history in the wizarding world... Eli bet, No history professors from Muggle universities can see these precious materials anymore. The historical materials preserved by the wizarding world reveal the other side of the distant past, which is closer to the original history. No historical research scholar can resist to find out all this temptation.

Mr. Smith was completely enthralled, and unlike his wife, who was unimpressed by Muggle-narrated histories, his well-bred son clearly understood exactly what he wanted to see and returned a reading list tailored just for him.He was content to stay in the study from morning to night, reading these books eagerly, to the point of forgetting to eat and sleep; if his wife hadn't told him to go down to receive guests, he would not have stepped out of the study at all.

But going downstairs this time is definitely no less rewarding for him than reading in the study: this Christmas holiday, their family welcomed a special guest, Arthur Weasley, after receiving Eli's letter two A few days later, I personally visited Eli, not caring about Eli's age at all, and wanted to chat with the sender very happily and seriously.

He was just 20 years old this year, still quite young, tall and thin, with red hair, wearing glasses, and looking very energetic.He is wearing a wizard robe. Although the material is not high-end, it is very neat and clean. It can be seen that he has a virtuous wife.With the help of Mrs. Smith, Eli entertained him. During the chat with him, he found that Arthur has a solid foundation in magic spells, and has excellent hands-on and practical skills. Gua Pin is very enthusiastic, and Eli thinks he is an ideal partner.

But the problem is that at his current age, he can only be said to be able to use many Muggle items, and he is far from being able to transform them.Attaching the component structure diagram to Arthur's letter is almost all he can do. His strength is that he has a relatively correct understanding of the life of Muggles and wizards, and he is far inferior to Arthur in terms of hands-on ability. There is accumulation, he is still too young, and Arthur can fully understand it.

The problem they were facing was practical, so Eli called his father down from upstairs and let him and Arthur talk about more complicated and in-depth matters.Although Mr. Smith is a professor of history in literature and history, it is enough to correct some common sense mistakes for Arthur, who has almost no contact with Muggles.

The three of them talked happily and were very interested in each other's lives.Arthur reluctantly bid farewell until the evening. Mr. Smith strongly invited him to have Christmas dinner tomorrow. Arthur obviously struggled a bit before shaking his head, saying that his son Bill was only one year old this year, and it was still very difficult. When taking care of it, you can't completely leave it to your wife. It is a better choice for the family to stay at home.

This is completely understandable.Mr. Smith exchanged contact information with him (this is my home phone number! But I think you are more used to owl, maybe we can apply to connect our two... What is that word, Floo? ), both expressed eagerly that they would write to each other as soon as possible and keep in touch.

For Arthur's arrival, Mrs. Smith had some complaints.

"Anyway, he should come to visit again with the prophetic announcement, so I can prepare lunch in advance." Mrs. Smith complained a little, "Even if the Weasley family doesn't pay attention to rules, they usually won't be so rude. It has to be said that the elopement obviously made them lose a lot of rules, some of which are actually necessary, and Molly didn't care about him."

"You know Arthur's wife, Mom?" Eli opened the cupboard door and looked at Mrs. Smith.

"Of course I do. There are only a few pure-blood wizard families." Mrs. Smith said simply, using her magic wand to direct a dozen dishes to fly into the cupboard by herself.

"You're pure-blood, Mom," Eli said, a little surprised that he had just realized it.Children always take it for granted that mom and dad have always been dad and mom, and they have no other identities—but of course, they were also students, and they would have their own brothers and sisters, relatives and families, which is a matter of course.

However, he seems to have never heard his mother mention her origin, nor his family. This is the main reason why Eli's lamp is dark. Thin and live far away.

Now that he suddenly realized that this was not the case, things became even more curious.Eli asked suspiciously: "Why have you never heard of your grandparents, Mom? Do you have brothers and sisters?"

"There is an older brother." Mrs. Smith said simply, and then shrugged her shoulders smartly, "Of course I haven't heard of it, because I was expelled from the family-when you choose to marry a Muggle, there is such a result It became natural. I haven’t been in touch with them in these years, and I’m removed from my name, as if anyone who leaves home can’t live anymore.”

She straightened her back and showed a proud smile: "Now they are forced to see my name when they pass by the bookstore, aren't they? Promising people are successful everywhere, even if they don't need to rely on the family."

Linda Smith is a well-known best-selling author - well-known in both Muggle and wizarding circles.She is good at writing romance novels. The heroes and heroines are always wizards and Muggles. Using her rich imagination (and the supplementary help of a shorthand quill), she writes touching stories with many twists and turns.She always glorifies the power and nobility of wizards in her books, but this strangely pleases her readers on both sides at the same time, so she has a lot to eat, and has been earning a lot of gold Galleons and pounds for the past ten years .In the eyes of their neighbors, the Smith family has always been a very enviable star model family with a loving husband and wife, a smart son, a decent career, and a rich income.

Although in the eyes of the pure-blood wizard family, whether they think so is another matter, but Eli felt that since the relationship had been severed, of course there was no need to pay attention to their thoughts, so he simply didn't mention it.

"Of course it is." He agreed with his mother, and then said thoughtfully, "It seems that the pure-blood wizards I met at school are not all prejudiced. The wizards of birth are treated equally—although he also has another kind of arrogance and evil, but it seems that my grandparent in name also belongs to the side of pure blood supremacy."

"Obviously." Mrs. Smith curled her lips and said sarcastically, "I won't interfere with your choice of partner like those people, and Muggles are fine-although I think the one you fancy may It's not that pretty, cute, likable - well, well, I'm just kidding, don't mind it. But seriously, son, if you choose to marry a Death Eater afterward, there might be a lot of fun over there You are welcome to recognize your ancestors and return to your ancestors. Those people are like that. When it comes to matters related to interests, they can abandon any dignity and arrogance without hesitation. I don’t think it is very decent.”

"Death Eater?" Eli repeated curiously, hearing the word for the first time. "What is this? It doesn't sound good."

Mrs. Smith's complexion changed slightly, and it was obvious that she said this word carelessly.She twitched her lips, ignored her son's question, and chased him away like a chicken: "This is not something you should know, go up and continue reading—forget it, don't read, and take your father for a walk in the garden .Our family is so big and we have everything we need, can't you develop some more interesting hobbies?"

Eli was kicked out of the kitchen by Mrs. Smith, and felt uncomfortable being treated as a child. Children of this age seem to face this problem, but Eli is not sure whether his mother is reasonable to treat him like this, and protests are always against him. My mother didn't work at all, so I had to go upstairs to find my father, and took him away from the book for a while to get some air as promised.

What exactly are Death Eaters?Eli didn't let go of this matter, frowning in his heart.

Mr. Smith left the book, and immediately focused on his son. He stroked his son's hair and asked with concern, "What are you worrying about, son?"

Eli didn't think his father would know, but they never had any secrets, so he said, "Dad, do you know what a Death Eater is? My mom just said it by accident, but she wouldn't let me know." ..."

"Yes." Mr. Smith said unexpectedly, and Eli looked at him in astonishment.

"Arthur said it when he came to visit. You went upstairs to get the book and didn't hear it." Mr. Smith briefly explained the cause and effect to him, and then his face became serious.

"It's the code name of an organization," he said solemnly. "They follow Voldemort—the followers call him the Dark Lord, others call him the You-Know-Who. It's a dark wizard whose name you can't even mention, Death Eater." Gangsters followed him, doing all kinds of bad things, taking pleasure in brutally torturing others, each one of them an outrageous racist."

"Be safe at school, son." Mr. Smith urged solemnly, "Arthur said that man was starting a war, and..."

He paused, and said, "It's not kind to Muggles like me and wizards who don't support them."

Eli was slightly taken aback.Regarding the Dark Lord's statement, he only heard Sirius talk about it once at school, and then he relaxed in the peaceful and peaceful campus life and didn't think much about this person.And now.For the first time he had a clear picture of what this - Voldemort - had done, and it was even coming from his Muggle father, and it gave him an unreal feeling of two worlds meeting.

"Why don't people call him by his first name?" Eli asked his father.

"The taboo of names represents a kind of dominance and oppression, born of prudence and fear." Mr. Smith sighed, "Either he is ruling and threatening the wizarding world, or - what he has done is very important to people. In my heart, this effect has been achieved.”

- It's inevitable that some people won't get the Death Eaters right, and you can't expect to remove all stupidity from the world.Look at what the naysayers have done - feel that lowly Muggles should be bowed down to lands and riches, and wizards should hide instead - any intelligent person can see the point Unreasonable, why is it necessary to suppress one's own strength?Just because most people in this world don't have magic, noble wizards have to hide themselves?This is ridiculous, people are not equal, wizards are destined to be much nobler than muggles, there is no doubt about it, glad that more and more people are aware of this.

- Come to think of it, have Muggles ever done anything good?Absolutely not.These stupid creatures are full of hatred for wizards, and their hearts are full of twisted rejection of magic that they can't ask for.They have been hunting wizards since the Middle Ages - this is unreasonable, unhealthy, and incorrect, wizards are always noble, and fools who treat wizards harshly have to pay a price, the Dark Lord is leading us to the right path of wizard supremacy, this road may be Soaked in blood, but it is worth it, fighting to defend the rights of wizards, it is an honor to be able to participate.

-Great causes always need to be accomplished with blood and the souls of opponents. Those fears and humbleness are the best jokes, and they are also proof that we must be purged.Powerful and dependable, wise and all-knowing, the Dark Lord is destined for greatness.And you see these bright prospects, you champion great causes, and you don't even show your attitude publicly at school—what are you thinking?In the eyes of the noble Death Eaters, you are too cowardly.If you don't want to be openly hostile to Muggles and Mudbloods, you might as well disappear from our presence as soon as possible, maybe half-blood wizards are just that gutless?Don't let everyone underestimate you, Severus.

- Lucius Malfoy.

Snape, with his hair hanging down over his eyes, was reading the letter carefully, his aquiline nose almost reaching the paper.Malfoy's last words seemed to be intended to annoy him, but he still looked very calm. He read the letter to the end for the fifth time, put it away carefully, and sat on the swing, looking ahead, with thoughtful eyes.

Of course... Of course he knew how great the cause the Dark Lord was doing, and what a desirable organization the Death Eaters were.Everyone in Slytherin whispers about the lord who used the dark arts to achieve great things, to gain power, money and status... which is exactly what he desperately needed, think of the turnoff in Spider's End Thinking about his stupid Muggle father Tobias, if he can get rid of him... Maybe he can use the influence of that adult to prevent his mother from finding out that all this has something to do with him...

Thinking of this possibility, Snape's eyes flickered excitedly, and his fingertips lightly stroked the wand in his pocket.

He was fed up, fed up with the life of not being able to use magic outside of school, and when Tobias picked him up by the collar, he couldn't even pull out his wand and give him a hard blow.What a pity, he clearly has the strength to do that!He knows so many fascinating magics, but because of some stupid decree, he can't freely use his genius ability...

Snape was engrossed in his thoughts, and his yearning for a life where he could do whatever he wanted made his blood soar and almost filled his mind.

"Sev!" A clear voice not far away suddenly sounded, and the girl's voice was full of surprises, "Why are you sitting here? Tomorrow is Christmas, are you also out shopping?"

Snape jumped up, a slight blush appeared on his pale face, he couldn't wait to look not far away, with a cover-up: "No, I just... just came out for a walk. What a coincidence, Lily?"

He would come here every day for a period of time during this holiday. Anyway, there was nothing good to do at home, and the place where Tobia was around disgusted him from the bottom of his heart.How lucky to finally meet the person he wanted to see today.

After seeing Lily's face clearly, the surge of hot blood just now seemed to dissipate a lot like a tide.Snape looked at her, and recalled very clearly the reason for his ambiguity at school - Lily was a girl from a Muggle family, he couldn't... he couldn't show his rejection and dislike of Muggles in front of her, She will be angry and disappointed...

This self-reporting didn't really change him, in fact it had the opposite effect, but he got better at disguising it.

"Any time for a walk together?" Snape asked, gazing at her somewhat expectantly. "We haven't seen much this holiday..."

"Hey! I just said I'm out shopping, Sev." Lily reminded him with a smile, and said briskly, "Penny and I need about an hour, do you want to go with us? Mom and Dad let us enjoy Buy something you like..."

It wasn't until Lily mentioned it that Snape noticed that she was holding her sister's arm, and the two were walking close together.He hadn't noticed at all before, and now that he finally realized that Petunia was there, Snape's lips curled up unhappily.

He felt as if his embarrassment was being laughed at by Petunia, and he was in a bad mood quickly.This made his expression and tone quite unfriendly, and he said mockingly: "Why, this Miss Evans doesn't think her wizard sister is a monster now?"

To his surprise, Petunia didn't contradict him as violently as before, although her lips were pressed together tightly and a hint of anger appeared on her face.But she stared at him for a long time and took a deep breath.

"It was you who first looked down on me as a Muggle because you were a wizard," she said suddenly. "I have now realized that not all wizards are as annoying as you. I am sorry for my prejudice before, but you obviously Not until now. Don't try to piss me off again, Snape, I already know what a really good wizard looks like."
