Chapter 67: Wizards and Muggles

　　 "Professor...Professor Dumbledore..." Jon ran out of the house. He just put on an extra robe and took his wand: "I'm ready!"
　　 Albus Dumbledore was waiting for him at the door.
　　 "It's very efficient, Jon." Dumbledore took out one by one silver lighter-like objects from his pocket and flicked them away.
　　 clicked, the nearest street lamp was lit with a pop.
　　 "This way the light is much better!" Dumbledore asked, "How did your grades in flight lessons?"
　　 Jon thought that Dumbledore might have done it on purpose, but he could only answer honestly: "It sucks, Professor..."
　　 "Oh, is it..." Dumbledore suddenly realized: "I remember, Rolanda told me about this two weeks ago. It was a bit bad... But this way..."
　　 He rummaged in his cloak pocket, then took out a wand that looked ugly.
　　 Dumbledore didn't chant any spells, just waved his wand, and a silver smoke floated from the top of the wand... After a few seconds, it solidified into a silver-white translucent animal, like a ghost!
　　 More accurately, it is a phoenix.
　　 "Hold on to its feet, Jon!" Dumbledore's phoenix patron saint flew in front of Jon.
　　 Jon was taken aback, hesitated for a moment, and then stretched out his hand.
　　 did not pass through the body of the patron saint as expected, but as if grasping a slippery, cold leg.
　　 This is not magic... Why is there a patron saint?
　　 "What kind of magic is this, professor?" Jon put on a confused expression.
　　 "A patron saint!" Dumbledore explained calmly: "A symbol that embodies the heart, a guard summoned by a positive force. It is a kind of profound magic!"
　　 "The patron saint... they actually have entities?" Jon couldn't help asking, "Can you fight with us?"
As soon as he spoke, Jon realized that he was a bit gaffe... As a first-year student, he shouldn’t know anything about the patron saint; even more so, he shouldn’t ask them if they have grasped the thigh of a patron saint. entity.
　　 Fortunately, Dumbledore didn't seem to notice it.
　　 "Of course..." The principal nodded, "But it is quite difficult to summon a patron saint with a physical body; it's not that I brag, few wizards in the world can do this."
　　 As soon as the voice fell, Jon suddenly felt his feet off the ground and flew into the air.
　　 Dumbledore followed closely, and he also flew in the sky...without flying broomsticks, no night skews, or even taking out his wand, as if he was riding a breeze, he swept up.
　　 "Where are we going, Professor Dumbledore?" Jon changed his hand and asked loudly.
　　 "Don't worry, the agreed time is 9:30, and we still have plenty of time to stroll around here."
　　……
　　 The cool breeze blew across Jon's cheeks, fortunately he added a coat to his body to prevent it from feeling cold.
　　 Dumbledore has flown to the front. His speed is so fast that the patron saint of the phoenix carrying Jon needs to fly at full speed to catch up with it.
　　 chasing the wind like this makes people want to talk.
　　 However, Jon has been observing the landmarks under his feet, and the geographical situation of Southampton, he still knows better. He observed that Dumbledore was leading him to the northeast.
　　 After about ten minutes, they finally landed slowly.
　　 Jon's face was slightly pale.
　　 "It seems you don't like this way of traveling?" Dumbledore quipped.
　　 "Yes, Professor...I hate flying!" Jon said honestly, "Except sitting in an airplane."
　　 When the word "airplane" was mentioned, Jon suddenly noticed a trace of sadness flashed from the corner of Dumbledore's eyes.
　　 "Well, let's change our way of traveling later..." But it was fleeting: "I think you should be familiar with the city in front of you, Jon."
　　 "Yes, this is Winchester!" Jon said quickly, "The ancient capital of England!"
"Yes, Merlin Ambrosius, the greatest wizard in the history of England and Wales... is here to help King Arthur to unite Britain and build a new country from the Romans and Germans!" Dumbledore looked on! Said seriously.
　　 Jon also made his expression as serious as possible.
　　 But he didn't quite understand the meaning of Dumbledore's words, just visiting the monuments? Or give yourself patriotism education?
　　 This is too funny.
"British wizards and Muggles lived in harmony for a long time; until the spread of Catholicism throughout England, the contradictions between the two began to appear..." Dumbledore continued: "The war between wizards and the church has begun. A war that has lasted for nearly a thousand years."
"Hogwarts was founded and became the core of the wizarding camp...Many wizards and wizards were imprisoned and sentenced to death for engaging in witchcraft~EbookFREE.me~ although there are some, such as Lisette in 1422. -De Lapan, used magic to escape; but some wizards, such as Sir Nicolas de Minsi Boppington in 1492, were not so lucky. They were taken away from the wand and locked up in the dungeon. Use magic to escape the fate of being executed."
"In the seventeenth century, the conflict reached its peak... As the capture of wizards became more and more cruel, wizard families began to live a double life, using hidden spells to protect themselves and their families. In the seventeenth century, any choice Wizards who are friendly with Muggles will be suspected or even abandoned by other wizards."
"The wizards killed a Muggle king (Charlie I, 1649) and put Oliver Cromwell, the principal of Hogwarts at the time, into the position of protector of the country, but Cromwell was quickly Assassinated; the wizards had to overthrow a Muggle king (Charlie II, 1688) again..."
"Finally, in 1689, the Muggles signed the Bill of Rights, which completely expelled the Catholic power from Britain, and ushered in the moderate Protestant Muggle monarchs William III and Mary II; at the same time, the wizards also signed With the "Wizards Union Secrecy Act", wizards concealed themselves from Muggles’ sight, turning the wizard’s story into a legend in the Muggle world...
　　 "From then on, there has been peace between the wizarding world and the Muggle world for hundreds of years!"
　　 Dumbledore’s introduction is over.
　　 "Professor, you know so well!" Jon hurriedly complimented.
　　 "No!" Dumbledore shook his head with a serious face: "Actually, my "History of Magic" grades are very poor..."
　　 "The words just now were all told by a former friend!"
