Chapter 46: Repaying Kindness with Hatred, How Can We Talk About Good and Evil?

Catalina was born in a Squib family, so she felt a little guilty when she heard this. However, she does come from the Dubrovsky family, and there is nothing wrong with including her in the ranks of the nobility. Hermione's lips were half-opened, speechless. She had always ignored the fact that her best friends were all from noble families.

Seeing that she was speechless, Chen Bin continued: "Aristocrats, like ordinary families, also have good people and bad people. But I can tell you clearly that the crime rate of aristocrats is lower than that of ordinary families because they have better education, With more resources, you can get the life you want without committing a crime. Treating ordinary families as potential criminals is discrimination.”

Hermione was about to retort, but Chen Bin waved his hand and said: "I know what you want to say, but the title of a noble is just a spontaneous title among the people, and it is a common practice. The royal family and the Ministry of Magic have not given them nobility. That is, It means that the way to obtain a noble is to make a contribution to society or to shake the magic world. The incompetent or poor descendants dare not call themselves nobles, so the Ministry of Magic organizes them to discuss the development of society. "

After a pause, he once again said what Hermione was speechless: "So, the twenty-eight existing holy tribes are the most prestigious nobles now, and each generation will be re-ranked due to changes in influence. For example, the Ollivander family is a new mixed-blood wizard family. With their excellent wand-making skills, they have become one of the three largest wand makers in Europe. Did he look down on you when you bought the wand? "

Hermione didn't answer, and the compartment fell into silence, with the only sound being the rattling of the train. After a long time, Hermione whispered: "But, this is still unfair. Why can some people call Muggle-born people mudbloods?"

"Have you ever been scolded like this?" Chen Bin asked and Hermione nodded gently.

His eyes fell on Draco, but he whispered to Hermione: "Has Draco ever scolded you like this?"

"I didn't! A real noble would not use such a vulgar name!" Draco retorted loudly, scaring Chen Bin as well.

However, when he looked at Hermione, he saw her shaking her head slightly. It seems that Draco has become much kinder in this life.

"Very good. Draco, you are a real nobleman." Chen Bin praised him and then said to Hermione: "To answer your previous question first, the world is unfair. Rich families need to pay a lot. Taxes will of course require the Ministry of Magic to provide some positions to oversee the use of finances and power in the right direction. For example, most of Hogwarts' expenses come from the Ministry of Magic's taxes, and a small part comes from the nobles on the board of directors. Becoming an elite means you will also become a member of the nobility. You can try to join forces with other nobles to change this society, but the prerequisite is that you must first become an elite and not harm the interests of other nobles. No one has a good family. "

"Second question, Mudblood is the name given to supporters of bloodline theory. Although most nobles are purebloods, it does not mean that they are also bloodline theorists." Chen Bin's words aroused the interest of the three of them, and he Carefully explain the origin of the theory of descent.

From the powerful magic in ancient times, the purer the blood, the more powerful it is, and it can defeat all magic with one force, to the modern magic that pays more attention to skills, is more instantaneous, is more suitable for over-mixed wizards, and is less powerful, etc.

Seeing that everyone was also surprised, Chen Bin shrugged and said: "So, from the perspective of clinical experiments, the blood theory is correct, but now that only relatively pure blood is left, this cannot be advocated. Magic has changed from one The ability to break through all kinds of magic has shifted to equal emphasis on skill and magic, but purebloods are still absolutely superior in power. However, now that they no longer have the ability to make a difference in a matter of seconds, the anti-blood theory has naturally become mainstream. ”

Then, he said to Hermione: "So, it is difficult to separate good from evil in this world, it's just different positions. If someone calls you a mudblood next time, you can complain to the professor and let him receive the punishment he deserves. However, It’s hard to say that this person is definitely a bad person. His family may have made significant contributions in the last fight against the Dark Lord, or he may have supported the poor pure-blood family. It’s just that everyone’s stance is different.”

Hermione found it difficult to accept this view and said something rebuttal.

Chen Bin knew that he could not convince her that society was complicated without resorting to a big move, so he had no choice but to say: "Hermione, you think you are very peaceful and just, but from my standpoint, the West has sucked the world dry. The wealth of civilization then packages itself as a civilized person. This is the difference in stance. So when I see you talking about the injustice of the nobles and the emergence of some big devil in the British and even European magic circles, I only see them as different camps, nothing more. Justice and evil are just different benefit recipients who look at the issue from different perspectives.”

Hermione was touched by Chen Bin's last words and quickly retorted: "But the mysterious man killed many people and broke many laws."

"The Ministry of Magic has also killed many people." Draco also heard the implication of Chen Bin's words and replied: "There are also forces from the Ministry of Magic that do not follow the law."

Hermione was helpless and saw that Caitlina was just watching the fun and had no intention of joining the discussion.

Hermione was about to retort, but Chen Bin smiled and shook his head: "Why do you ask a noble who has already paid so much to pay more? How can you ask a pure-blood family to believe that Muggle-born people are as noble as themselves, even if Even if the magic power is lower, the power should be the same?"

Hermione was dumbfounded.

Chen Bin felt that she seemed to understand, so he concluded: "Different positions, in the end, you have to speak with strength. The same is true for the magic world, the Muggle world, and between countries. If you have a different position, you must use your strength to climb to a higher position to change the world. There will be a lot of resistance in this process. If you are not as strong as them, you can only compromise and assimilate them into your allies. If you can't assimilate them, it means you are not strong enough to solve the problem. Don't complain that others are blocking your steps, because they also have their own positions, and no one's position is more noble."

The heavy topic came to an end, and Chen Bin began to talk about the nightmare life in the summer vacation. Draco and Hermione also talked about where they went to play in the summer vacation. Gradually, this sense of class exclusion disappeared in the box.

. . . . . . .

Hogwarts, in the auditorium, on the stage of the staff seat.

Chen Bin watched the new little ones perform the sorting ceremony one by one, and the long tables of the four colleges burst into enthusiastic applause and cheers. He felt that his mentality and body had grown a lot.

At least, he was not much shorter than Snape next to him, and much taller than Flitwick.

The growth of mentality means that the professors have repeatedly told him not to cause trouble as a professor, and he is no longer a student.

Chen Bin's mouth twitched when he heard it, and his eyes were fixed on the new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor - the funny Lockhart. This guy's ability to cause trouble is comparable to Chen Bin's. If he can be quiet, Chen Bin will eat shit himself.
