v4 Chapter 7： arrogant

"Oh? Oh, okay, are we going to drive to you, or through this, this..." Hearing Arthur's words, Mr. Granger was stunned for a moment, then reacted and asked as if he had just woken up from a dream arrive

"Floo Network," Harry reminded from the side.

"Yes, Floo." Mr. Granger was chewing on this somewhat unfamiliar word. He was very curious about how a person could stand in a fire without being burned. He was also curious about how the fire suddenly appeared in this fireplace. A flame came out, and he was more curious why wizards could travel through space at will with the help of the fireplace.

The first question, he can also answer with the knowledge in his mind, there are some "flames" that look like flames, but the actual temperature will not cause damage to the human body at all, so people can stand in the flames. But the latter two are beyond his cognition and can only be summed up as "magic"

Mr. Granger was a little excited and a little nervous. He was about to use that Floo network to carry out a legendary "space shuttle" and "fly" from London to Devon at once!

He couldn't help clenching his wife's hand.

Mr. Arthur was more excited than he was.

"Did you just mean driving? You have a Muggle car? I mean that kind of _" he said incoherently with excitement.

Mr Granger:

"Well, if you mean regular cars, I do have a few..." He paused, as he noticed that Mr. Weasley's eyes lit up in front of him.

Arthur was very interested in Muggles, and he was very curious about how Muggles could live without magic. So whenever it comes to Muggle-related things or objects, Arthur has a hard time holding back his curiosity.

"Mr. Weasley is a 'Muggle fan', he is very obsessed with all kinds of objects in the non-magic world." Harry explained for Arthur.

"So," Mr. Granger rubbed his chin, "would you like to go to the garage with me and take a look at all the darlings in my collection?"

After a few words of conversation, he and the sorcerer whose hairline moved backwards but was very kind got closer. After the mist called the sorcerer on the other side dissipated, a very down-to-earth figure was revealed. . This made Mr. Granger less nervous.

And Mr. Arthur's performance revealed many problems.... Mr. Granger noticed something unusual. According to his original impression, wizards are like observers, observing every move of Muggles in hidden corners, and the entire Muggle society is one-way transparent in their eyes. But after contacting Mr. Weasley, he felt that his impression seemed to be a little off: wizards seemed to know nothing about Muggles.

This is very confusing, her baby girl is a genuine "Muggle", and according to her, there are not many Muggle wizards like her. That wizards know so little about Muggles is very difficult to understand - if they want to understand Muggles, they just need to ask their daughters, don't they?

Or, they can come to the Muggle street for a walk? If you walk around the Muggle street twice, you won't get excited when you see a car!

Perhaps they have their own difficulties? Mr. Granger felt that wizards may have unspeakable difficulties that prevent them from communicating directly with Muggles.

Mr. Granger guessed right, wizards were indeed unable to communicate too closely with Muggles due to the Statute of Secrecy. When Professor McGonagall was young, wizards who were Muggle spouses were forbidden to show their magical abilities to their spouses.

This has to mention the heartbreak of Professor McGonagall when he was young. At that time, Professor McGonagall was not a professor, just Minerva McGonagall, an outstanding graduate of Hogwarts and the head of the women's student council.

First let's be sure of one thing, Professor McGonagall used to be young too—although she always felt like an old lady. It's normal for a teenage girl to be in a relationship, right? Even if she's Professor McGonagall.

After graduating with honors from Hogwarts, Minerva found a job at the Ministry of Magic's Department of Magical Law Enforcement. Before joining the job, she returned to her hometown, where she was going to spend her last summer as a student.

As a result, she met a Muggle named Dougal: McGregor. Dougal was handsome, smart, and funny, and Minerva was madly in love with him. The two begin to get to know each other deeply.... Eventually, McGregor proposes to Minerva in a newly plowed field. Minerva agreed.

But to the horror, after McGonagall calmed down, she found that she couldn't fulfill her marriage contract due to the restrictions of the Secrecy Act! Marrying a Muggle meant that she was going to follow the same path as her mother, locking her wand, Will say goodbye to all her ideals. No more Minerva in the world: McGonagall, only Mrs. McGregor.

Well, so early the next morning, McGregor was divorced.... Without the drama of "30 years of Hedong and 30 years of Hexi, don't bully young poor", Professor McGregor returned to London three days later. From then on, the two were separated from each other and never saw each other again.

For McGregor, Minerva: McGonagall is probably just a passer-by in her life, but in Minerva McGonagall's heart, McGregor has always held a very important position.

Later, the "Secret Law" was gradually released, but the two were never able to reunite.

The tragedy brought about by the "Secret Law" has been staged again and again, and a high wall has been built between the magical world and the non-magical world, completely isolating the two worlds.

Of course, in addition to the last resort, I am afraid there is arrogance. The magical world has always had a condescending and arrogant attitude towards the non-magical world. Wizards don't bother to know about Muggle life, just like top students don't copy bad students' homework - they don't even bother to see what bad students are messing with. Mr. Arthur is already a very rare pro-Muggle among pure-blood wizards, but the reason for his friendship with Muggles is also "curious about how Muggles can live without magic", which is arrogance in his bones, and Arthur .Weasley is a good guy who doesn't conflict.

Just like many foreign students are often asked some strange questions abroad, the questioner is just curious and not malicious.

In the face of Mr. Granger's invitation, Arthur simply could not refuse.

He happily followed Mr. Granger out of the living room and went to the garage to visit Mr. Granger's car. If it wasn't for time, he would have asked Mr. Granger to lend him the car for two laps.

Mr. Weasley had considered the idea of ​​everyone driving to the Burrow more than once, but after estimating the time and confirming that Muggle cars could not fly, he could only give up the idea with great regret.

If I drive back to the Burrow, I’m afraid it will be close to midnight when I get home. Do I still have dinner? I have to go to Ferret Mountain early the next day!

When Mr. Weasley came out of the garage, he looked like a child who had lost his favorite toy.
