Hogsmeade, Felix appeared in the public fireplace in a spiral, and he patted the gray on his body, the sky was gray, and the red sunset could be vaguely seen from the clouds.

The ground was covered with a thick layer of snow, and the sound of "crunching" was made when Felix walked along the way, and the wizard who returned in the evening kept greeting him. A thin old wizard pulled him and spoke for a long time, discussing with him about issues such as "Is the wizards now lacking some blood" and finally realized that they had found the wrong person. His friend couldn't stand the nagging and went home for dinner in advance.

Mrs. Rosmerta of the Three Broom Bar is posting a discount poster, "Mr. Happ, come in so late, do you want to have a drink?"

"Oh, no, I have something to deal with..."

"Did you go to the branch to inspect? I bought a chair and lie down for a while before resting every night."

Felix turned into a small street and the light became dimmed. The road was close to the screaming shed. There was no one nearby. He stopped in place, fumbled into a coin with his fingers. After a while, the sound of jumping footsteps appeared behind him.

"Mr. Happ."

The house elf Bondy jumped out and saluted him, and his nose rubbed against the snow on the ground as he straightened his body. Then he took out a wrinkled letter from his body and respectfully handed it to Felix.

Felix took it and asked inadvertently: "Bondy, who is your master?"

The house elf stiffened for a moment, lowered his head and said, "Bondy was presented to Mr. Grindelwald by his master, responsible for taking care of his daily life."

Is it a loyal believer?

"When did this happen?"

“It’s been these two years.”

Felix glanced at him, "Mr. Grindelwald is not in good health?"

Bondy took a deep breath and screamed: "The winter in Newmont Gaardburg is very cold."

"Where is his magic?"

"Since 1945, Mr. Grindelwald has no longer been allowed to cast spells."

It was some magic, Felix thought. He saw Bundy on October 27, and he clearly had the will of another person. After the failure, there must be some restrictions on Grindelwald, which is not a wand. For wizards like Grindelwald, the wand is not a necessary but a more severe restriction.

Like an unbreakable oath.

This history is relatively vague and has no clear records. It is like everyone has deliberately forgotten this hidden danger, which leads to people like him who will always find some obvious loopholes when interpreting it from the perspective of bystanders.

Why did Grindelwald give up everything because of a duel? Are his 100,000 believers fake? Even if only one-tenth of them are loyal, these people can smash any Ministry of Magic in the world.

Felix did not continue this question, and he asked Bundy: "Do you usually live in Newmongaard?"

"Yes, sir."

“Can owls be kept there?”

"What, what?" Bundy raised his head in surprise.

"It would be too troublesome to rely on you to send messages alone. Hogwarts's protection magic rejects other domestic elves, but it does not restrict owls." Felix explained that if the message was sent through the owl, it would definitely be much more convenient, so that he would not have to run out every time.

The house elf Bondy lowered her head deeply, "Oh, no, Newmongaardburg was closed by many spells, no one could find it... Only the full-time staff of the International Wizards Federation have the authority to open it."

Felix was slightly surprised that Grindelwald seemed to be much larger than he had expected.

He opened the letter and said that the content above was not long as usual. To summarize it, he agreed to "discuss some issues" with him. In addition, it was nothing more than some sarcastic remarks, such as "I have read these books for a long time, and my knowledge was very shallow", "too negative, I don't have any courage, and I can't compare to Carlotta Pinkerson", or in a guiding tone, suggesting Felix to "read the three hundred years of magic history in the fourteenth to seventeenth centuries" and so on.

At the end of the day, I didn't forget to ask for some parchment, ink and quill pens.

"To write this letter, I added a lot of snow to the ink bottle. Also, those people check Bondy's brain every two or three months, and you will solve this problem."

Felix looked at the faint ink mark and laughed silently. He read some contradictions from the letter, but he would not think that Grindelwald was a confused person.

Grindelwald said that he had read the book he wrote, who gave it to him?

To be honest, Felix never mentioned his plans and expectations for the wizarding world in the book, so in the eyes of some people, he just kissed Muggles and had sympathy for Muggles; or, an opportunistic businessman, who gained wealth by carrying novel ideas of Muggles society. But truly insightful people, such as Dumbledore or Grindelwald, can see his unfinished meaning from these books. That is:

Felix Hepp believed that the fusion of wizards and Muggles was inevitable, but he was a moderate, or at least pretending to be a moderate, and used subtle influence to guide wizards to accept this concept and prepare in advance.

If this theory is shown to ordinary wizards, they may frown. They are already accustomed to the existence of the secret law. If they tell these people, the secret law will eventually be broken, just like telling them that one day they will walk into the snow and ice naked.

When it comes to radicals, they also look down on this view, perhaps because they think it is too weak and not neat enough. For example, the witch Carlotta Pinker Stone mentioned in the letter, a social activist, born in 1922, is famous for advocating the International Wizards' Secretariat Act, and has been imprisoned many times for openly and deliberately using magic in public.

By the way, she will be released from prison next year, and it is estimated that another storm will be caused by then.

Grindelwald was also a radical, but he was different because he was a loser. Taking Felix's book to him is tantamount to telling Grindelwald that there is another idea similar to you but more gentle, and that has achieved some achievements, you can take a look...

Felix read a strong sense of preaching from this practice.

He guessed that this person was Dumbledore.

If it was Dumbledore, the restrictions of the International Wizards' Federation were not a problem at all. He had many ways to bypass the restrictions of Newmont Gaardburg, the easiest one was to send a message through Phoenix Fox.

Felix gave Bundy some stationery. As for how to bypass the inspection... Felix didn't use this, Grindelwald could attach him to Bundy to watch the game, which at least means that he could use some memory magic. I guess this was testing him.

Felix won't take the bait.

...

In the next few days, Felix spent some time scrutinizing the history of the fourteenth to seventeenth centuries. The Hogwarts Library provided a large amount of information, including magic notes and travel diaries from that period, especially when he found several books in the forbidden book area without any confusing curse, but simply recording history. Generally speaking, he would not read such books.

Felix was sweating in his sweat when he read it.

That is a more real and bloodier truth.

During this period, he received more letters, and various invitations to join the society were called like raindrops. Felix didn't know that there were so many magic organizations, and there were more than thirty ancient characters associations just for the various alchemy groups.

There are also many letters from individuals, the most representative of which is Yuria Edmund of Ifamoni. His description in the letter fully reflects the mentality of young people in the current American magic circle:

“…

The performance of the Demon France Society was disappointing. The officials and men did not seem to realize the seriousness of the problem.

I talked to some old people in the school, and they told me that in the 1960s, there was a group of people absorbing members under the guise of "pure blood" and "glory". However, these ideas were not marketed in the United States at that time according to the standards of the British magic circle. Except for a few families migrating, no one was qualified to claim to be pure blood.

So the purpose of that group of people failed. I believe similar things may have happened in other countries, but because of the painful lessons brought by Grindelwald, people strictly guarded against such ideas and instinctively rejected them, and the new cult never developed.

Now almost thirty years have passed, and a new generation of wizards have grown up, and new dissatisfaction has begun to accumulate. Our biggest contradiction is the forced separation of wizards and mahjong society. Although it has improved in the past two years, it is still not satisfactory. Sooner or later, it will ignite the illusion of peace that we cherish.

Principal Fontana's death brought me a deep touch. He protected me, but now he is gone.

So, Mr. Hepp, I have left Ifamoni.

I decided to go into politics, and the Magic France Association planned to form an emergency team. In my opinion, it was just a show, but I still decided to sign up. I am still active in China, but I may have the opportunity to meet in the UK in the future.

I wish us all the best.”

Felix closed the letter, thought for a long time, took out the parchment and wrote a reply.

“Dear Yuria,

I have seen the hope of a new generation of American magic circles in you. Some problems are difficult to deal with, but we will encounter them sooner or later, so we cannot ignore them.

I have also thought about the issues you mentioned in the letter. My thoughts are as follows:

You face two problems, one is the excitement, social unrest, and the potential threat to the forces to which Voldemort was born, and the second is the dissatisfaction of the reform and all visionary people with negative attitudes towards the Demon France.

The former is an emergency and is the focus of everyone's attention at this stage. The latter is more profound and seems less urgent, but it is more difficult to deal with.

I strongly agree with your decision to join the Demon French Society. It will allow you to actually experience the difficulties and moral difficulties faced by the rulers. If you cannot be confident that you can do better than them, the results will inevitably be negative and negative, and the harm will be equal to the chaos caused by the death of President Vontana.

I have also seen you come up with other solutions, such as working with the Future World company, replicating some of the initiatives we proposed during our communication last year, but I must point out that the situation you and I are not exactly the same.

Nearly three hundred years have passed since the birth of the law of secrecy. In other words, no one of the living people has seen a scene that is completely undisturbed. The results of rash changes must be good and bad. Although people cheer for opening the door and seeing the wonderful world, they will inevitably be hurt by the thorns outside the door, resulting in a feeling of disgust.

If you want to count the contradiction between a wizard and an ordinary person in detail, it cannot be summarized in just one word.

Hogwarts' collection contains a large amount of relevant documents and materials. From the beginning of the witch hunting operation in the 14th century to the years before the birth of the confidentiality law in the 17th century, the relationship between the two reached a freezing point.

During these three hundred years, wizards were almost semi-public in their early days, and the best of them (or ambitious wizards) often became guests of the king's nobles.

But the wizard family at the bottom still lived a dual life. At that time, public opinion was controlled by the secular and religious. Wizards and magic were still mysterious, cunning and evil. Witch hunting was considered a legitimate act. The idea of ​​eliminating dissidents blossomed everywhere under the propaganda of some people, which caused an extremely obvious separation. During this period, many cases worth pondering occurred. There were kind and enthusiastic wizards who helped their neighbors betrayed, and naturally many were sincerely loved; not to mention, there were also bad people among wizards, and the widely circulated terrifying legends were inseparable from them.

Various completely opposite views and thoughts collided fiercely, and "The Collection of Story of Poetry and Weng Bidou" was created in this context.

If you ask me what view I have, I would say that any attempt to characterize a large group through a small group is undoubtedly bad, especially when you have already chosen to take the team in advance.

But it must be admitted that the number of ordinary people far exceeds that of wizards, with a ratio of nearly 3,000:1. This makes even a very small proportion of ordinary people have a more intense attitude towards wizards, and the result is disastrous.

At that time, the wizard families were particularly prone to losing their children because their children could not control their magic, which often attracted the attention of the muggles who pursued the wizards and were unable to resist. We were used to seeing mature and self-protection wizards who regarded pitchforks, hoes and crosses as nothing, but the real history was not beautiful.

The newly established British Ministry of Magic (formerly the Wizards Council) sent a special delegation to contact Muggle Monarchs William III and Mary II, hoping that Muggle law would recognize and protect wizards. When this attempt to obtain official recognition and protection failed, it forced the wizards to begin voluntarily moving to the ground towards the opposite path and keeping secrets.

Confidentiality law was born.

This law effectively divides the wizard society and the Muggle society, and has formed some consensus in a long period of practice. For example, the parents of young wizards from Muggle families are not in the scope of confidentiality, which undoubtedly eases the contradictions, especially compared with the severe laws of the American Magic and French Association.

As far as I know, the American magical world and the non-magical government have always been in a state of hostility, and there is no cooperative relationship between the two. There is a dark and bloody game hidden in it. At that time, some of the people in power had authorized to try to crack the secrets of the wizards, and the result was a fierce confrontation and the headquarters of the Magic France Association moved many times.
