Hogwarts: Voldemort, don't stop me from studying

The students thought of the depleted uranium weapons shown in the video just now and felt a little more realistic about it.

One girl raised her hand.

Professor Abigail called the name: "Susan Bones?"

The girl with pigtails asked in a trembling voice under the gaze of everyone: "Professor...is your country a bad guy? Just like...just like the mysterious man..."

Many children held their breath for a moment.

After a while, Professor Abigail said:

"Who is a good person and who is a bad person? In fact, everyone has their own judgment criteria for this matter. You can think according to your own ideas - the good or bad of a country, the good or bad of wizards and Muggles, the good or bad of a matter. Only after thinking these things clearly can you decide what to do."

She seemed to have said a lot, but also seemed to have said nothing. Bones' head seemed to be full of question marks.

But raising her hand to ask the question just now had exhausted her courage, and she really didn't dare to ask again.

Theo whispered to Wade, "I think even in the professor's eyes, America is a bad guy. But that's her home country, so it's not easy to say bad things directly, right?"

Vader nodded in agreement, looking at Professor Abigail with a more serious look.

He had never met a wizard who knew more about Muggle weapons than Professor Abigail.

Moreover, we are not in the era of self-media yet, so some information is very difficult to find. Some of the latest information may not be known even by non-magical people who pay close attention to current affairs.

But Professor Abigail just casually told it to a group of underage students as if it was a very ordinary teaching course.

Then, seeing that the students seemed frightened, Professor Abigail told a few short stories to ease everyone's tension.

"In fact, the probability of wizards encountering such weapons of mass destruction is very low. It takes a long time for them to be launched and truly explode with power, which is enough time for wizards to escape."

"As long as you don't become like my friend the wizard from Africa, Makena, who stubbornly thought he could withstand the power of the bomb, and almost turned into pieces..."

"The greatest danger to wizards is the arrogance that comes from ignorance."

"I have another friend, De Winter, who was wandering around the Muggle streets once when he was robbed by a teenage boy at gunpoint."

"He didn't recognize the pistol and thought the boy's action was funny. He laughed out loud on the spot. Before he could finish laughing, he was shot through the chest... In the end, the boy stole all his gold galleons and broke his wand."

Because Abigail told the story with a smile, the students laughed too and thought De Winter was stupid.

After she finished laughing, Abigail said seriously, "So... don't look down on any Muggles, kids. You have magical powers, but that doesn't make you superior to others."

"Any Muggle...even a child...as long as he has a pistol in his hand, he has the ability to take the life of any wizard."

"Remember this."

……

The Defense Against the Dark Arts class was over, and the weapons that smelled of motor oil were covered up again. Professor Abigail didn't want to say anything more, so the students had no choice but to head towards the castle.

But the discussion about this lesson is far from over.

"Is what the professor said true, Harry?" Ron asked his friend curiously, "Are Muggle weapons really that powerful?"

"Well... maybe..."

Harry said vaguely.

Although the Dursleys have a TV, they rarely watch programs related to weapons and war. Aunt Petunia prefers brainless soap operas, while his cousin Dudley likes animation and boxing.

Harry looked at the other two Muggle-borns.

But Hermione frowned, which was rare.

These things had nothing to do with her academic performance. Although she had read a lot of history books, none of the books she had read provided a detailed introduction to the weapons used by both sides of the war.

"It's true." Wade said, "And there are many things that the professor didn't mention - such as weapons like poison gas, bacteria, and sound waves."

"……what is that?"

After a moment's silence, Ron asked politely.

So Wade briefly explained it to everyone.

"Silent weapons of mass destruction..." Hermione summed it up.

Harry tilted his head and thought for a moment: "So even a very strong wizard would have a hard time surviving if he was within the attack range?"

"That's right." Wade nodded. "Unless you use some means like Apparition to leave before the attack... you will definitely not be able to stop the Armor Spell."

"Why are Muggles so keen on inventing these things?" Ryan asked, "Even pistols and cannonballs are already powerful... Why do they keep inventing more dangerous weapons?"

"Because they are backward, they will be attacked, right?" Wade said, "If those invaded countries also had nuclear weapons, the United States would not dare to bomb their land at will."

"That……"

Ryan thought for a while, and finally raised a soul-searching question:

"Compared to Muggles now...are wizards lagging behind?"

Everyone paused at the same time, like unprepared students being forced to face an exam they didn't want to face.

The next chapter will be later

Chapter 248 Time is the most dangerous force

"Hahaha... No way!" Michael laughed dryly: "Muggles can't even find where we are. They don't even know there are wizards in the world."

Ryan looked at him quietly.

Michael's smile faded.

"My grandmother, your mother, Wade's parents, Harry's aunt and uncle, and Hermione's parents are all non-magical people." Ryan said calmly and pointedly: "Do Muggles really not know the existence of wizards?"

After a long while, Hermione murmured, "Now I know why there is the Statute of Secrecy..."

"And Dumbledore," whispered Harry.

No one answered this time.

They couldn't help but wonder, if it were Dumbledore, would he be able to resist those terrible weapons?

Or, even Dumbledore had no choice but to run away and hide when the Muggles attacked?

"Wade, do you think...if Hogwarts is discovered, will we be able to resist a Muggle attack?"

Somehow, Theo's confidence in Vader surpassed even that of many of the school's professors, perhaps second only to Dumbledore.

After a few seconds, Wade said slowly:

"Indeed, there is...but...it's difficult."

For example, using the Imperius Curse and Legilimency, combined with Transfiguration or Polyjuice Potion, they could control high-ranking Muggle officials or even replace them, start wars between Muggle countries, and at the same time protect the wizarding world from being discovered.

But the interaction between Muggles is not as simple as saying "Good morning, hello". Even just a raised eyebrow gesture between acquaintances can allow people to recognize whether it is the real person.

What's more, senior officials are watched by many pairs of eyes every day and appear in the camera almost every day, so any slight abnormality will be magnified infinitely.

Therefore, a wizard who can perform this kind of task must have an extremely firm will and belief, and needs to lurk and observe for a long time, and must have extreme tenacity and patience to succeed.

Somehow, Wade suddenly remembered the legend of "Lizard Man" that was popular on the Internet in his previous life.

If someone had the same idea as him, if someone really spent more than ten years, or even decades, to put it into practice...

Has anyone in the Muggle upper echelons ever been replaced?

Or...is he just overthinking it?

Think about the original story, after everything was over, nineteen years had passed and Harry's children were all off to school.

At least until then, the world will still be at peace.

……

"Boom boom boom!"

There was a rapid knock on the door. Dumbledore put on his glasses and raised his finger, and the oak door opened.

"Albus!"

Professor McGonagall walked in hurriedly, and only slowed down a little after seeing Dumbledore.

"Do you... do you know what Professor Abigail told the children today?"

"Of course." Dumbledore said calmly: "Professor Abigail communicated with me before preparing for class."

"Then, Muggles... Muggle weapons... have they really reached this level?" Professor McGonagall asked in disbelief.

"I'm afraid so," said Dumbledore. "You know, I have several Muggle friends. Dear Jacob, for example, he fought in the First World War with the American Expeditionary Force..."

"Albus!"

Professor McGonagall had also met the Muggle named Jacob, but that was not what she wanted to hear at the moment.

"Well," Dumbledore said tolerantly, "I understand your concerns, Minerva. But don't worry, for now, the Statute of Secrecy is still in place."

"so……"

"Well, don't worry about Muggle shells appearing over our heads one day. Even if someone launches a missile towards what they think is 'Hogwarts', it will just explode somewhere else."

Professor McGonagall breathed a sigh of relief.

"You've thought about this a long time ago? Oh - of course - you must have thought about these problems a long time ago! You always see the crisis earlier than us."

"I am not a prophet, Minerva. I have simply... seen the power of these things with my own eyes."

Dumbledore said.

After seeing off the vice-headmaster who felt embarrassed for his "fuss", Dumbledore's relaxed expression disappeared. He fiddled with the Pensieve and the silver mist began to swirl.

An illusory picture appeared in the air.

Explosions, death, war.

There were more human corpses than crows in the sky, and the terrain had changed after the bombing.

A figure slowly spun around, and he shouted to the invisible man, "Who is protected by the Statute of Secrecy? Is it us, or them?"

"Who forced us to hide? Who is the executioner in the war?"

"Face the facts, Dumbledore! Running away won't solve any problems!"

"What we long for is freedom, truth, and even more, love!"
