Chapter 65 The Interests Behind Pureblood Ideology!
Chapter 65 The Interests Behind Pureblood Ideology!
The friends on both sides were stunned.
Of the eight people in the cubicle, only Dudley and Harry remained unfazed, Hermione looked relieved, and the others appeared fearful and uneasy.
Ron was filled with a mixture of fear and excitement at having stumbled upon some juicy gossip, while Neville was filled with a mixture of fear and bewildered confusion.
Crabbe and Goyle, the two silenced henchmen, showed their hostility towards Dudley with fear, seemingly having been successfully brainwashed by their foolish Death Eater parents.
Malfoy was terrified, but his horror was still tempered with a stubborn skepticism.
Clearly, the Voldemort Dudley spoke of did not match the limited information he had gathered from his parents and the fence-sitter, pure-blood Death Eater circle since childhood.
"How dare you...how dare you...insult my father...slander the powerful...mysterious man?!"
Malfoy paused for a while before stammering out his question, "The Mystic is the strongest supporter of pure-blood supremacy! He... he couldn't possibly have such a shameful background!"
"Hahahaha!" Dudley let out a terrifying laugh. "Poor and ignorant Malfoy, why do you think Voldemort advocated pure-blood supremacy?"
He just wants to win over you corrupt pure-blood nobles who can't let go of your interests and status, so that you can become his dogs, be driven by him, and help him rule the magical world!
Voldemort supports pure-bloods? Don't dream! That's just a tactic he used! His mind is only filled with becoming stronger, achieving immortality, and slaughter!
Your father, and the fathers of your two stupid henchmen, and all the other two-faced Death Eaters who have survived to this day,
They are either fools brainwashed by pure-blood ideology; or self-righteous individuals who use Voldemort's power to commit evil and consolidate the pure-bloods' power and position; or they are complicit in Voldemort's tyranny and follow the crowd.
Which category do you think your father belongs to? Which category do you, as a descendant of Death Eaters, belong to? In the future, if Voldemort were to turn the tables and regain power, which category would you willingly or unwillingly become?
Have you thought about these questions?
"me……"
Malfoy's face, covered in fleshy bumps, was expressionless, but his constantly shifting eyes revealed that he was in a state of great inner turmoil.
He was only eleven years old. Although he was more intelligent than his peers and had received a wizarding aristocratic education from a young age, he still could not fully understand the treacherous nature of human hearts and the intricate web of interests expressed in Dudley's words.
Silence was the only option.
Seeing this, Dudley turned his head to look at Hermione's expression and found that she was deep in thought. She seemed to be more accepting of what Dudley was saying than Malfoy, but obviously, she hadn't fully understood it either.
Dali understands this situation.
Even the smartest child is still a child.
Unless one is a time traveler like him, or an exception who has been specially groomed as the heir to the throne from childhood, it is difficult to fully understand what he is saying without sufficient life experience.
Fine, if I can't understand humanities thinking, then let's try some science thinking.
"Alright, Malfoy, if you don't understand, just write it down and ask your father when you get back. Maybe your father is a fool too. In that case, go and look at a history book, preferably a Muggle history book. The textbooks on the history of magic are too boring."
Reflect on historical events, why they occurred, how historical figures resolved them, and whether their solutions were good or bad.
The look in your eyes still holds a hint of reflection; you're not beyond redemption, unlike your two stubborn lackeys, who've been brainwashed beyond belief.
Dudley's tone softened; he wasn't just speaking to Malfoy, but also to Hermione.
As for Ron and Neville now, Dudley doesn't expect them to listen. One has figured it out but is too lazy to learn, and the other is still suffering from the side effects of the Oblivion Curse and hasn't figured it out yet.
"Hmph! Who would read a Muggle history book?"
Having received some goodwill from Dudley, Malfoy became arrogant again, "In the end, you can't change the superiority of a pure-blood wizard!"
If those pure-blood wizards in history hadn't made foolish mistakes, hadn't intermarried with Muggles, and hadn't spread their wizarding bloodline, there wouldn't be any of you Mud... Muggle wizards here today!
You will never have the chance to experience magical wonders!
Therefore, pure-blood families should rightfully hold a higher status than you and deserve your respect!
Dudley glanced at Malfoy in surprise, never expecting that the arrogant guy could come up with such a seemingly reasonable twisted logic.
This perfectly aligned with Dassler's idea of using scientific thinking to refute the pure-blood ideology.
Dudley laughed and applauded for Malfoy, which made Malfoy's small eyes reveal a hint of shrinking and fear.
"What are you trying to do now? I'm warning you, don't hit me or cast any more curses on me, or my father..." Malfoy said again, his voice lacking conviction.
"Malfoy, spare your father!"
Dudley shook his head helplessly, interrupting Malfoy, "Do you still think the Malfoy family behind you is as glamorous as before?"
Ten years ago, Voldemort suffered a crushing defeat, and recently, the Death Eaters in Azkaban failed in their rebellion and were killed. The power of you corrupt pure-blood families has been reduced to its lowest point in history.
They're barely able to protect themselves now, they can only keep a low profile! And you're still making enemies for your father, you're practically trying to ruin him!
Malfoy's eyes widened in panic. He remembered his father's worried expression lately, and his father's instructions to befriend Harry Potter and cultivate a good relationship with Dumbledore. He fell silent once again.
"Looks like you're a smart person!"
Dudley saw through Malfoy's thoughts through his eyes and continued, "You were right about one thing earlier. If the first pure-blood wizards in history hadn't intermarried with Muggles, magic might have truly been excluded from the Muggle community."
When Malfoy heard Dudley agree with him, he was astonished, but a hint of triumphant satisfaction flashed in his eyes.
Clearly, he doesn't understand the art of praising before criticizing, nor does he grasp the power of the word "but."
Dudley laughed and said, "But if that were the case, the wizarding community would have long since been lost to the annals of history."
Even now, there are only three thousand wizards in the British magical world—no, there aren't three thousand anymore, only two thousand five or six hundred. You can imagine how rare the so-called pure-blood wizards who were initially active in this land were.
If the original pure-blood wizards had not intermarried with Muggles to spread their wizarding bloodline, but instead only intermarried within the pure-blood wizarding community, then in just a few generations, the pure-blood wizards would all have become close blood relatives.
I don't know if you young wizards from wizarding families have studied genetics or biology, or know the dangers of incest...
"I know!"
Hermione suddenly raised her hand and interrupted.
