Chapter 561 Three Generations of Wizards, Young and Old, and the Disappearance of Pure Blood

"Aha~"

In a picture frame on the wall next to Anton, a short man in knight armor was wielding a long sword bigger than him, standing next to a horse much taller than him, looking out of the picture frame.

"The dark green stair railing, this is what Hogwarts looks like. It's great to see you transform it."

Seeing Anton looking over, he simply threw the dangling long sword aside, "I've been telling the laundry women next door (other picture frames) about the original appearance of Hogwarts, everyone. Don't even believe me."

"For portraits like ours that have no concept of time, no matter how long it takes, these memories will be firmly imprinted in my mind."

Anton smiled slightly, "I didn't expect the armrest to be dark green either, time is really an interesting topic."

He looked at the contents of the book again. The first volume was about cleaning up, with spells for stone, wood, metal, and other materials, as well as the classification of building objects according to different functions, each with its own spells. . The second volume is about reinforcement, and there are a total of 3 magics listed in it. The first magic is a reverse spell developed based on weather spells, preventing the castle from destructive weathering and corrosion in all kinds of weather.

The author particularly emphasizes the difference between the destruction type and the trace type, saying that the traces of wind and rain are the most valuable parts of a castle.

Of course, this kind of covering area is huge, and it is no longer just a simple spell that affects the entire castle.

This enchantment is used to patch some of the corners.

The other two, one is about the potion, and the fairies need to be arranged to apply the potion.

The last one is ritual magic. The wizard uses the belief of the members of the Black family in the family as the foundation of ritual magic-the higher the family cohesion, the stronger the castle. Conversely, if everyone has no faith in the family, then the castle will be destroyed.

It has a wonderful philosophical flavor.

"But……"

Anton looked at the rune on it with some doubts, "Why is the mantra—free breathing? Is it related?"

"Because...everything has life!"

"They also need to breathe, in a magical sense."

A voice sounded from behind, and Anton looked up in amazement, "Professor Snape."

Snape didn't speak, but looked at the book in Anton's hand in some silence.

"Have you read it?"

"Well..." Snape stuffed the wand in his hand into his wizard robe, "This book was written by the patriarch of the Black family, Cygnus Black, who passed away last year."

Old Si narrowed his eyes, "A stubborn old man, continuing the Black family's tradition of intermarrying with pure-blood families, married a woman from the Rozier family, and gave birth to three daughters."

"The eldest daughter, Bella, married the eldest son of the Lestrange family, Rodolphus, and the third daughter, Narcissa, married the eldest son of the Malfoy family, Lucius."

"Second daughter Andromeda was expelled for marrying Muggle Ted Tonks."

"Because I got closer to Bella and the others back then, this old guy even came to the school and warned me not to be wishful thinking as a mixed race."

Speaking of this, Snape's face was full of sarcasm.

"After the old guy died, Sirius became the only male in the Black family, and he will inherit all the inheritance of this richest pure-blood family."

"So Bella and her husband Rodolphus would wish Sirius had died so that they could dedicate this rich family legacy to their master."

"Narcissa and her husband, Lucius, would also wish for Sirius to die, so that they could use the money as a secret to quietly continue the family's glory."

"As for the second daughter and Tonks, they are not qualified, because they are of mixed blood and their blood is dirty, so they were removed from the list."

Old Si sneered, "This book is all about loyalty to the family. In the end, none of the descendants of the Black family will be loyal to their own family. It is simply ridiculous."

Anton had a weird expression. After talking a lot about the old man, he found that he was familiar with almost everyone here, except that Tonks had never met.

This blend of history and reality can't help but give people a wonderful sense of dislocation.

Anton raised his eyebrows, "I think the magic in this is well written."

"Well~"

Snape made a nasal sound that was difficult to understand, "Magic can be learned, so don't read too much about other content. In order to maintain the so-called nobility of the bloodline, the descendants of pure-blood families almost become fools and lunatics." Concentration."

He patted the book in Anton's hand, "This Cygnus Black's mother belongs to the Crabbe family, and now the child born to the Crabbe family and the Gower family, tsk tsk tsk~"

"Some seem to be very smart, but they are actually a bit crazy in nature. There are also a lot of fools."

"Of course~"

Snape shrugged, "With luck, they will find it easy to have a litter of geniuses, such as your uncle, Arthur Weasley, who married Mollie, the eldest daughter of the Prewett family, with good luck, They gave birth to a bunch of highly talented offspring."

"Severus!" Dumbledore came down the stairs with a stern expression on his face, "I don't think it's appropriate to say this in front of students."

Anton's face was strange. If it is said that a pure-blood family with a population smaller than a village intermarries, it is really easy to produce lunatics, fools and geniuses. It seems that Professor Dumbledore is the genius inside.

Hey~

Snape's complexion darkened instantly, "I just experienced a mental ups and downs, and I was indeed a little out of words, it's my fault."

As for the spiritual ups and downs experienced by Mao...

He gave Anton a hard look.

"!!!" Anton looked at Snape innocently, obviously you came here to talk about it, why are you staring at me?

Dumbledore walked down slowly, looked at Snape and Anton with complicated eyes, and the crescent glasses revealed a little complexity, "We cannot deny that pure-blood families insisted on intermarriage in the long history before, advocating 'pure-blood supremacy' ’, there is a certain rationality.”

Anton looked at him in surprise, and even Snape looked in disbelief.

Dumbledore pursed his lips, took off his glasses and fiddled with them in his hands, his eyes were deep, "But it's a bit inappropriate to mention this now, the times do not allow such voices, and they themselves do not allow such voices."

"The blood connection between pure bloods has come to an end. If this continues, it will only speed up the demise of the pure blood family. In fact, everyone can see clearly."

"Those who use the banner of 'pure blood supremacy' actually don't want to protect their own bloodlines, they just want to protect their own interests."

"If Voldemort wins and gives them a good distribution of benefits, you will be surprised to find that they are definitely the first to start advocating the mixing of wizards and Muggles, and will declare that they have reconsidered by replacing the family patriarch. , choose openness and tolerance, so as to maintain the status of the family again."

"You are still young, Anton, Severus, I hope you can think about this clearly, and don't be deceived by others' so-called pure blood principles."

Dumbledore put his hands behind his back, turned his head to look at the corner of the stairs, and secretly smiled at George and Fred who were looking upstairs.

"Choose a pure-blood family with an open mind and tolerate Muggles, only then will there be the possibility of continued development."

"There are actually too many pure-blood families trying to do that, the Abbots (Hannah's mother was a Muggle), the Lupines (Lupin's mother was a Muggle), too many, too many."

"We shouldn't let our eyes be limited to bloodlines. We need to see the entire wizarding world. Similarly, we also need to tolerate Muggles with a broad mind. This is the key to the continued progress of the entire wizarding world."

"The two of you are destined to become important in the future, and you should have such a mind, and stop being obsessed with ridiculous pure blood and impure blood."

Dumbledore pointed to continue, glanced at the two men with all his strength, and walked downstairs.

George and Fred ran away in a hurry.

"Oh, right."

Dumbledore turned to look at Anton, and patted the handrail of the stairs, "The spell you released is great. When I was studying, it still had faint dark green traces. It really makes people feel the passage of time."

Anton shrugged and gestured to the magic book in his hand, "I still have a lot of magic spells to maintain the castle that I haven't cast yet."

Dumbledore smiled, "This is Professor McGonagall's punishment for you, but I think she may not be able to achieve the effect of making you reflect. You simply put all your attention on magic."

"I've rethought!"

Anton's eyes widened, "Really."

Yes, he really reflected on it. Anton found that the magic he studied and researched seemed to like to go in the direction of the big scene. No matter what magic was in his hands, it would be more inclined to group attacks.

Anton felt that it was necessary for him to pay attention to the occasions for casting spells, and to think more about individual spells.

Make up for your own shortcomings.

As for Snape, he simply left straight away, Dumbledore said, he likes the stair railing like this, what else can he do.

With his long legs, he shook his shoulders habitually, and the wind blew his wizard robe up.
