ALL NOVEL Hogwarts, where the stars shine
Chapter 134, Runes and the Concept of Bloodline
After finishing the discussion on the elective courses and the time turner, Mesa confirmed his inner choice.
Although only children want them all, adults know that their bodies can’t handle it.But Mesa's biological age is only twelve years old. From this point of view, he is just an older child, and of course he will choose to have them all.
However, unlike Bill Weasley, Mesa did not have the idea of obtaining twelve excellent certificates. Instead, he prioritized electives based on his self-awareness.
Divination, Arithmancy and Muggle Studies, these three courses are considered minor subjects to Mesa and are not that important.Mesa plans to cut down on the time he spends on these three courses while ensuring he can pass the exam.
Just like Professor Binns' History of Magic class, Mesa can also do something he likes in the classes of these three subjects.
You can complete an avalanche of homework, deepen your understanding of ancient runes, etc., and complete main course homework in other classes. I believe many people have this experience.
Mesa also decided to use the time converter step by step, adapting to the time created by the converter little by little, instead of going all out with full force.
Let’s start with the most basic ones, and only use the hours required to complete the elective courses. It is estimated that two hours a day should be enough.
When Mesa adapts to the initial stage, he can gradually increase the lookback time until the limit of the time converter is full, changing his day from 24 hours to 29 hours.
Not counting the time spent on elective courses, you can probably gain more than two hours a day.Two hours a day, fourteen hours a week, almost sixty hours a month.
Counting from the beginning of the third grade to the time when the seventh grade graduates and leaves school, excluding the annual summer vacation, Mesa has an extra four or five months.And it’s pure study time without sleep.
How could Mesa not be excited about all the "extra" study time?
Of course, this is an ideal situation. The actual use of the time converter after getting it requires Mesa to make careful adjustments.After all, Mesa couldn't determine his endurance limit just by imagining it.
…………
After the new semester started, Hogwarts became busy again.
Mesa was dragged to the crucible by Snape again and started his new round of potion making.
The Potions Professor's private lessons greatly occupied Mesa's spare time, and "A Simple Introduction to Ancient Runes" became a bedtime reading.
As his study of ancient runes deepened, Mesa also gained some basic understanding of this lost language. He was no longer as confused as before and could only use runes to count.
Ancient runes, also known as runes, originated from Scandinavia in Northern Europe and are a script that has been extinct for hundreds of years.
The earliest runic script found so far is dated to around 150 AD. It was used in writing in Germanic languages, especially in Scandinavia and the British Isles.
But as other religions were introduced into Northern Europe, the runic alphabet was gradually replaced by other alphabets.Around AD 700, the runic alphabet disappeared in Central Europe; around AD 1400, it also disappeared in Scandinavia and other areas.
So far, the ancient runes have been lost, leaving only the manuscripts, inscriptions and decorative patterns of the predecessors.
In Germanic mythology, Odin, the father of the gods, lost one of his right eyes in exchange for the wisdom of the runes in order to obtain the fountain of wisdom.Odin obtained the secrets and wisdom of the runes, and Rigg taught them to humans, expressing them in the form of rune letters.
There are a total of 24 letters in ancient runes. These Fusac letters are divided into three parts in groups of eight, called "Eter".The three Aites represent the three gods in Norse mythology, Frey, Haggar and Tyr.
Whether they are scholars in Muggle society or wizards in the magical world, they are all trying to study runes, and some even regard runes as a bridge to communicate with gods.
They believe that the sacred runes can predict the future, and each letter has special power and can protect mankind.It can also be used to make guardian charms, record magic, etc.
Once you master the sacred runes, you can communicate with the gods, use the long-lost rune magic, and apply it to the field of divination to predict the future.
The reason why Mesa wanted to learn ancient runes was, on the one hand, to decipher the manuscripts left by his predecessors and explore ancient magic; on the other hand, he wanted to explore the origin of magic through runes.
To this day, the origin of magic is still debated in the wizarding world and there are different opinions.
One of the more accepted statements is that magic is a basic force of nature, which is complex, primitive and difficult to control.But there are a small number of people in the world who are born to control this power.
This is also the reason why many pure-blood wizard families hold high the banner of "pure-blood superiority" - wizards' magic comes from their blood, and those who can manipulate magic and control magic are naturally superior to others.
As an opponent of "pure bloodism" and a very good gangster, Mesa's question arises: Where did the first wizard come from?
Is it a bloodline mutation caused by special reasons, or is it an intermarriage with an extraordinary intelligent life?
For example, Mesa personally believes that Hagrid is likely to have giant blood.If an ordinary person had Hagrid's height, it would be difficult for him to have the same physical coordination as Hagrid.
In addition, Mesa has heard people say that some wizards will choose to marry Veela.The offspring born from the union of the two have both the continuation of wizards and the blood of Veela.
No matter where a wizard's special magical blood comes from, the essence of a wizard is still human.The first wizard born in the world, at least one of his parents should be human, unless there is really a god in this world.
From this point of view, the so-called "pure blood superiority" doctrine is a big joke.
The development process of the magical world over the past millennium has also continued to prove that the extreme pure-blood concept is a fallacy, backward and decadent.
Mesa believes that Salazar Slytherin’s pure-blood philosophy is limited by the times and should be viewed in light of the era when the Big Four founded Hogwarts.
At that time, the conflict between wizards and Muggles continued to intensify, and a vigorous witch-hunting movement was launched throughout Europe.
Although adult wizards are not afraid of Muggle persecution, and some even take pleasure in doing so, it is difficult for those underage wizards, or wizards who are not capable enough to deal with it, to escape Muggle sanctions.
In these troubled times, the four giants join forces to support a magical paradise.
They teach young wizards magic so that these children can become independent wizards in the future.
As for young wizards of Muggle origin, they will be more or less connected with Muggle society, and it is not impossible for witches to appear.Once a Muggle-born leaks information about Hogwarts, the paradise of magic may attract a fatal blow.
Because of this, Salazar Slytherin did not trust these Muggle-borns and was worried that they would betray wizards and the school, so he wanted to expel them all from Hogwarts.
Salazar Slytherin's pure-blood philosophy sounds more like his own political opinions than pure blood discrimination.It probably means "Those who are not of my race must have different minds."
However, this pure-blood concept has been artificially misinterpreted, and it has been regarded as pure-blood supremacy and pure-blood superiority, thus evolving into what it is today.
This is not that Mesa is exonerating Salazar Slytherin, but that he feels that as one of the Big Four, Salazar should not have such a shallow vision, let alone long hair and short knowledge.
Of course, if Salazar Slytherin is engaging in blood discrimination, his greatness cannot be denied.After all, Salazar himself lived in a different era than Mesa. People today are standing on the shoulders of giants.
Standing on the shoulders of his predecessors, Mesa denies the doctrine of "pure blood superiority" and scorns this kind of discrimination. This is his own political stance and the basis for his future appearances.
Just like when Voldemort was causing trouble, he wanted to connect pure-blood families and gain their support.If Mesa wants to achieve something successful, he also needs to set up a clear banner to attract more like-minded people to join him.
But this flag is not enough for Mesa's family. He needs to explore the essential origin of magic and refute the blood discrimination that has been passed down for thousands of years.
So Mesa set his sights on ancient runes, hoping to explore the true meaning of magic through this long-lost language.Of course, it would be better if you could master the rune magic that exists in the mouths of scholars.
