Chapter:18
"I come here every week on evening to tutor Neville, and by the way, Hermione". Solim led Draco to another room that looked like a break room. There were a few chairs in the room, and Solim and Draco sat down.
"What did you think about this afternoon?" Solim leaned his feet into another chair.
"I think you're usually a very smart person, why do you make a fool of yourself when you meet Potter?".
"Forget it, don't talk until Potter and Weasley come, wait for me to talk". Solim saw the door to the circular room in the middle open, and Hermione was leading the people inside.
"Draco, don't let me hear the word 'mudblood' in the future". Solim lowered his voice and said to Draco, who was staring at Potter.
Pop, Solim clapped his hands when he saw that everyone was coming. "Since they're all here, sit down."
Harry and Ron looked at each other and sat down honestly. I don't know what Hermione told the two of them on the way, but the two of them were surprisingly honest.
"Everyone knows each other, so I'll just say it". Solim put his feet down and sat upright.
"First of all, Draco is indeed at fault, and I apologize for him like you". Solim glared at Draco, who was about to speak.
"Didn't he have a mouth himself?" Ron glared at Draco as well.
"Harry, can I call you that?" Solim asked Harry with a smile instead of Ron's stubble. "Of course, you can call me Solim, I think you should know me. "
Harry nodded, "No problem, Solim". Harry had a good impression of Solim, at least he didn't like to laugh at himself in Potions class like the other Slytherins.
"Actually, you were implicated today, and of course, on the train". Looking at the crowd looking at him, Solim continued to explain, "The Malfoy and Weasley families are known to have a bad relationship, and you just happen to be caught between the two of them."
He raised his hand and shook it, motioning for Harry to listen to him first. "I'm sure you've noticed that almost all pure-blood wizards don't have a bad impression of the Weasleys, and the pure-blood students in the school don't give the Weasleys a good look or communicate with them, and the people who are close to the Weasleys are usually half-bloods and Muggle-born students, right?"
Solim turned his head back to Draco, "And Malfoy and Weasley are often in conflict, why?Draco, can you tell me why you hate Weasley so much? And the Weasleys over there, can you tell me why you hate Malfoy so much?".
"They are pure-blooded traitors, the scum of wizards. It is self- evident who says this".
"Hmph, the Malfoys are evil dark wizards, why do you say I hate Malfoy so much!" Ron was still glaring at Draco.
"Tsk, listen, what a reason". Solim pointed at Draco, "Come, Draco, tell me how the Weasleys are traitors and scum?" and then pointed at Ron, "Come, Weasleys, you also come and tell me that Vincent Crabbe and Gregory Gore's father was the same as Lucius Malfoy, they all used to work under that madman, and you Gryffindor McMillan, and McLagan and even Longbottom's family have also had dark wizards, why don't you hate them?".
"Weasley, they're close to Muggles, and they're ...." Draco interrupted before he could finish.
"It's not just the Weasleys who are close to Muggles in pure- blood wizards, do you want me to give you some examples? Hufflepuff's Diggory and Bones are both close to Muggles, why don't you say they're traitors and scum?".
Looking at the speechless crowd, Solim sneered: "I think it should be that your family has been telling you since you were a child, 'The Malfoys are all dark wizards, you have to be wary of them', or 'The Weasleys are all scum, you don't deal with them'." Right? I'm right, you didn't hear these words less when
You were a kid, right?"
"Now, you two think about it, you two have no grudges". It's just that your family has taught you since you were a child that the other party can't be trusted, and over time, there will be no grudges". Solim changed his tone.
"I know better than you know what is going on between your two families". Seriously, the feud between the two of you has been a long time ago, and it's time to let go". Solim pondered for a moment and continued, "The price that should be paid has been paid, and the losses that should have been borne have been suffered. Why? Do you still want your children and grandchildren to continue to be like you? As soon as they meet, they become angry, and their dissatisfaction turns into disgust, and their disgust ferments into hatred. And then, well, you two are going to kill you again?"
"Solim, you're saying you know why Malfoy and Weasley hate each other?" Hermione listened with her ears strained for a long time. She could tell that Solim was planning to settle the feud between Malfoy and Weasley, or at least between Ron and Draco.
"Yes, and so does the father of both of them," Solim touched his chin, "but I guess I haven't explained the ins and outs to their son." "
"Why?" "You can either make it clear about this kind of thing: how the other party is sorry for us, why do we hate them. Either don't say it, so that the next generation doesn't have to bear hatred. Like the Malfoy and Weasleys, who say this and don't make it clear, it's that the two families are fighting each other". In Hermione's opinion, the two families were simply inexplicable.
"It's a long story, Hermione, I think you now have a general idea of the wizarding world. I want to ask you how much you know about the real history of wizards, the history of ancient wizards fighting for the living space of an entire race". Solim asked Hermione an irrelevant question.
