The Alchemist of Harry Potter

Chapter 514: A Thick History of American Magic

After signing the contract, Albert returned to the villa, sat on the sofa in the living room, and chatted with others about alchemy.

Catherine occasionally interjects a sentence or two, and the atmosphere is very good.

However, the conversation always went wrong, and somehow the topic turned into Albert winning the International Wizarding Chess Championship, and then Nicole giving up the Philosopher's Stone.

Nicholas expressed regret for this. When he was young, he also visited Mr. Nicole and regretted the decision of the greatest alchemist in history.

When I heard that Nicole planned to teach Albert knowledge in the last few years of his life, the envy in Catherine's eyes almost overflowed.

Catherine would also like to study with Nicole Lemay if she could, but she couldn't say it anyway.

After all, that's disrespect to Grandpa Nicholas.

Nicholas naturally knows what his granddaughter thinks, but he doesn't have a good idea.

He himself is not familiar with Nicole, and it is impossible to write a letter of introduction to his granddaughter. What's more, after Catherine becomes his heir, she needs to take responsibility. She still has a lot to learn.

The chat ends with Nicholas inviting the two to his alchemy workshop tomorrow.

As the night got darker, Albert leaned on the pillow and didn't feel sleepy, so he read the book borrowed from Catherine with the help of the lamp in the room.

The spell book at Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry is called "The Magic of Chawick", which was written by Chawick Boot, the founder of the school.

how to say?

The content isn't bad, but it's not good either.

Books from the early seventeenth century, even if they were written by powerful wizards, had more or less problems.

After all, Chawick Boot is not a professional writing educational books.

Of course, The Magic of Chawick will not be the seventeenth-century book, which has been rewritten and corrected many times by posterity.

The flaw is that this book of spells apparently has the same problems as Miranda Goshak's "Book of Spells", the content of the spells in the book has basically been deleted.

An ancient spell book, how could there be no evil spells.

In those ancient books, there are more or less strange spells, and those that can be used as teaching materials are all edited and rewritten.

If you insist on judging which spells textbook is better, it should be the "Standard Spells" series adapted from the "Book of Spells".

After all, this is a book that Miranda Gorshak has devotedly researched and carefully adapted.

Moreover, the fact that "Standard Spells" can become the textbook of many magic schools in the world can explain a lot of problems.

What interests Albert most is the history of magic, or the history of magic in the United States. The history of this country is obviously not very long, but the history of magic is very thick, at least the thickest book Catherine gave her. .

This book describes in great detail some of the famous history of the United States, such as the founding of Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, the Salem Witch Trials, the founding of the Magical Congress of the United States, the crimes of the purgers (committing murders, trafficking in wizarding people , torture, and other evil deeds), the birth of the Twelve Aurors in America, the era of eradication of the Purifiers, the Witch Dorcas Twelve Tree Leaks, and then the Five Moves of America, and Bigfoot Weird chaos.

In fact, as long as you read about the history of magic in the United States, you can understand why the magic world in the United States is different from the magic world in other countries.

The culprit actually came from the Puritans in Britain and even Europe.

These remnants of the Catholic Reformers, after exile in North America, had a very low tolerance for faith, and then caused a lot of trouble.

Although only a few No-Ma chickens were unlucky, the relationship between wizards and No-Ma chickens became quite bad.

In fact, it can be seen from the first sentence of the school song of Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry:

we are united,

against the Puritans

...

Later, the sorceress Dorcas Twelve caused a lot of trouble because of her obsession with the handsome mammoth Tolomius Baripone (descendant of the Purifiers).

It led to the birth and implementation of Rappaport's law, which completely separated the No-Maj and wizarding societies.

The law prohibits witches and wizards from befriending or marrying No-Maji, and imposes heavy penalties on wizards who are too close to No-Maji.

The wand license also appeared in Rappaport Law.

The law states that only witches and wizards of legal age (17) can legally hold a wand outside of school, which is why the guy at the Ministry of Magic is taking his wand.

As for the students of Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, they borrowed their wands from the school before graduating from the school. They kept their wands at the school during the holidays. Only after graduation students could spend money to buy their own wands from the school.

The American wizarding world takes wand makers very seriously.

In fact, the control of firearms by No-Maj is more lax than they are.

The birth of Rappaport's law further deepened the cultural differences between the American and European wizarding worlds, which is the main reason why many wizards do not like to go to the United States.

Because, you need to be extra careful or you will find yourself guilty of a felony inexplicably and put in jail.

Later, the Magical Congress of the United States probably thought Rappaport Law was undemocratic, so it repealed Rappaport Law in 1965.

The Rappaport Law was repealed?

Albert's expression became more and more strange when he saw this.

Yes, in order to demonstrate freedom, equality and human rights in the Magical Congress of the United States, the Magical Congress of the United States announced the repeal of the Rappaport Law in 1965.

To be sure, the Magical Congress of the United States repealed the term "Rappaport's Law".

It's not hard to guess from what happened when Albert came to the United States. Most of the policies in Rappaport's law have been preserved, such as wizards need to have wand licenses, such as No-Maj and wizards can not intermarry, Making friends, like wizard families can't keep magical creatures...well, those are all felonies.

Well, all wizards who enter the United States need to be supervised by the Magic Congress, otherwise it is a felony.

Of course, as the United States is so big, there is always a shadow that the Magical Congress of the United States cannot shine, but if these wizards living in the shadow commit a serious crime, it is the death penalty.

It is said that the Magical Congress of the United States upholds humanitarianism and carries out painless executions.

According to the records of the book, Newt, the author of the famous "Where are the Fantastic Creatures", almost lost his life in the United States, and finally helped the Magical Congress of the United States arrest the Dark Lord Gellert Grindelwald to make up for it and left this freedom alive. democratic land.

Albert closed the book and put the history of American magic on the desk. Sure enough, it would be better for him to stay away from the United States in the future.

When he picked up the Defense Against the Dark Arts textbook, there was a knock on the door.

"Who?" Albert put the book on the table, got out of bed and walked towards the wooden door.

Outside the door is Kathleen in pink pajamas.

"What's matter?"

"I think you haven't slept yet, so I made you a cup of cocoa, which is my apology," Catherine said and handed a cup of hot cocoa to Albert, "I'm sorry to bring you a cup of hot cocoa today. trouble,"

"Oh, I didn't take this to heart, there are people like that everywhere." Albert took the hot cocoa and took a sip, accepting the other party's apology.

He really didn't take that matter to heart. Anyway, he won't come to the United States in the future, and he won't see each other again. Even if he takes it to heart, it's useless.

"Then, good night."

"Thank you for the hot cocoa, it's delicious!" After Kathleen left, Albert closed the door and went back to the bed to read a book for a while. After being sleepy, he turned off the light and rested.
