When he heard the news that he could not go back, Rove did not lose his composure or act excessively. He just kept silent and kept silent.
In fact, he had already been mentally prepared.
Using a time-turner, Héloïse Mintab was trapped for five days in 1402. When she returned to her own time, her physical age increased by five centuries, and she eventually died at St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Maladies.
.
If Héloïse Mintab is like this, then of course Rolf will not be an exception.
He was just lucky, always thinking that Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw might have a solution, but now this expectation...has come to nothing.
Rolf sighed and was no longer in the mood to chat. He took the initiative to end the conversation and left Ravenclaw's office.
Hufflepuff quickly followed out. She dragged Rolf to visit this castle that he was extremely familiar with.
The students who were constantly flowing through Hogwarts also stopped to look at Rolf curiously.
He can make Professor Hufflepuff spare his precious time to personally act as a tour guide for him and accompany him around... Who is this kid?!
Such a big face!
Hufflepuff kept greeting the students with a gentle and kind attitude, like a loving mother. She smiled and asked:
"Rolf, does Hogwarts feel any different now compared to your time?"
At this moment, Rove had seen five wizard duels that started over disagreements. He replied:
"This place is more martially virtuous... In our time, we were not allowed to cast spells in the corridors, let alone duels."
The young man thought for a while and then added: "The magic power of those students is much stronger than that of my time."
Using the Cruciatus Curse is enough to go to Azka's advanced class, but in this era of Hogwarts, it is just ordinary.
But even third- and fourth-grade students can skillfully use the Cruciatus Curse, which is a little unusual in the ordinary.
Their magical talents are so outstanding!
Hufflepuff narrowed his eyes and said, "Are all wizards in your era weak?"
"Most wizards are indeed like this." Rolf pointed at a young wizard who used the Iron Armor Curse and said softly:
"The Ministry of Magic...that is, your current Magic Council, most of the officials are not able to use the Iron Armor Charm as skillfully as he does."
This is related to the replacement of Defense Against the Dark Arts professors every year, but it is undeniable that the overall strength of wizards in that era was indeed not as good as it is now.
There may be one or two outliers...such as Dumbledore, Grindelwald and Voldemort, but in the end they are just outliers.
"The power of the wizard's bloodline is indeed continuing to weaken." Hufflepuff sighed.
"One or two generations is not very prominent, but when the time span is less than a thousand years, it is very obvious."
Rolf looked at Hufflepuff, frowned and said, "The power of blood?"
"Yes." Hufflepuff nodded slightly and asked:
"Rolf, do you know why pure-blood wizards are so keen on intermarrying with wizards of the same pure-blood background?"
Rolf thought for a while and said: "Pure-blood wizards believe that marrying a Muggle or a Muggle-born wizard will stain their bloodline."
"Then how was it defiled?" Hufflepuff asked.
"I don't agree with this view." Rove shook his head and said, "So, I always feel that this statement is a fallacy and discrimination against Muggles."
"Rolf, any opinion is not groundless." Hufflepuff said softly:
"This statement may be biased, but it is not completely fallacious... You should know that wizards' reproductive abilities are very weak?"
Luofu nodded. He heard Helena say that the entire group of wizards had been cursed by a more powerful existence.
"The ancient pure-blood wizards made many attempts to solve fertility problems." Hufflepuff looked into the distance, as if she was lost in memories, and said slowly:
"Their research found that Muggles have very strong reproductive abilities, just like rabbits.
Some pure-blood wizards try to intermarry with Muggles, hoping to use Muggle blood to break the restrictions on wizard breeding."
Hufflepuff looked at Rolf's face and sighed:
"But after several generations of intermarriage, those pure-blood families unexpectedly discovered that the power of their own bloodline was weakening."
"How was this discovered?" Luofu asked curiously: "Can the strength of something like strength be quantified?"
"It cannot be quantified, but it can be observed intuitively." Hufflepuff said solemnly:
"The Parseltongue of the Slytherin family; the natural Legilimency of the Ravenclaw family; the Metamorphmagus of the Gryffindor family; the Third Eye owned by the Trelawney family...
These are all manifestations of the power brought by blood, and many abilities cannot even be learned acquired!"
"One of the pure-blood wizards of Slytherin once intermarried with Muggles. Among the third-generation descendants, there is no talent like Parseltongue.
Among the fourth generation descendants, there may even be dumb guns."
Professor Hufflepuff paused and said:
"After a large number of intermarriages, pure-blood wizards began to reject intermarriage with Muggles in order to protect the power of their blood, and this gradually formed discrimination against Muggles and some pure-blooded superiors."
Luo Fu couldn't help but sigh: "Such a thing can happen!"
"Yes." Hufflepuff was silent for a moment and asked softly:
"If it were you, would you still be willing to marry a Muggle after knowing that the blood of your descendants would be diluted step by step?"
Luofu did not answer directly, he just said softly:
"But without intermarriage, it may not be able to be passed down forever... It is difficult for pure-blood wizards to reproduce, and sooner or later the bloodline will be cut off in a certain generation."
"That's right." Hufflepuff smiled:
"This is a terrible conspiracy, just to make the entire wizarding community weak, slowly assimilated by Muggles, and finally completely destroyed."
"Who did it?" Rove asked.
Hufflepuff didn't answer. She stretched and said lazily:
"Let's not talk about this for now. Are you hungry? I'll take you to the kitchen to eat something."
"Professor, I'm not in the mood to eat right now." Luo Fe shook his head.
"If you're not in the mood, you should eat something." Hufflepuff held Rolf's shoulders and said enthusiastically:
"Delicious food always makes people feel happy. I cook for you myself, and most people can't eat the delicious food I cook."
The two of them snapped and disappeared into the endless stream of people, only to appear in the kitchen the next second.
Rolf looked around and asked doubtfully: "Hasn't the anti-Apparition spell been imposed on Hogwarts now?"
"Applied." Hufflepuff said with a proud smile: "But this is the magic I learned from Hodor, and it is not restricted by the wizard's magic."
"Hodor?"
"The house elves I adopted." Hufflepuff explained: "The magic they use is a different system from wizards."
After hearing the noise, a group of house elves appeared. They stood in a row, all wearing the same uniform:
A tea towel with the Hogwarts crest on it.
Hufflepuff smiled and said, "You guys go and have a rest. I can do it myself without bothering you."
"Yes, Professor Hufflepuff." The group of house elves bowed respectfully and left quickly.
"These house elves were all abandoned. Most of them were defective, and no other wizarding family was willing to adopt them, so I took them in at Hogwarts."
Hufflepuff sat on a chair. She looked at the boy's side face and asked: "
"Rolf, after a thousand years, will the situation of these poor guys become better?"
"No." Rolf shook his head and said, "They are still the wizard's slaves."
"Is that so?" Hufflepuff whispered with some disappointment:
"I thought the punishment for so many years was enough, but I didn't expect that there was still no change."
Luofu raised his eyebrows and asked:
"What punishment?"
…
