Chapter 9: History of Elves

Solim left without waiting for Snape to speak. He thought that the conditions he gave Snape, he could not refuse, and if he refused, then the person in the office just now was not Snape.

It's Thursday, and in the evening Hermione and Neville are going to Solim to have a small tutoring. However, because of this afternoon's flying lesson, Solim had something else in mind.

Solim is not very interested in the so-called "plot", for him - this is the world of wizards and magic, not the world of Harry Potter. Solim's background determines that his worldview is much grander than that of "Harry Potter". Voldemort? Ha, if he did anything to harm the real interests, he would be hammered to death in a matter of minutes - whether he had a Horcrux or not.

Every time he ate, Solim always ate quickly. You ask me why? He is a busy man.

"Draco, hurry up and eat, come with me when you're done." Solim said to Draco, who was dealing with the chicken legs.

"?" Draco stuffed something in his mouth and gave Solim a wink.

"Come with me to Gryffindor, and don't ask me why." Solim stood up,

"Alright, hurry up and finish eating. If you're not full, you can go to the kitchen and ask the elf to bring you a cake. "

Solim swayed Draco to the Gryffindor table with a question mark on his head. Hermione was drinking soup, and it seemed like she had almost eaten her meal.

Neville was dealing with a cake, and Ron, who wasn't far away, was eating a little ugly: his cheeks were swollen as if he had been slapped by a giant, and he was holding chicken drumsticks in both hands and before he could swallow the previous bite, he sent another bite to his mouth.

"Oh my God, don't the Weasleys usually feed their kids?" Solim whispered, he had seen Ron eating for the first time in real life.

Hermione and Neville both looked up at Solim's voice and then saw Draco with a look of disgust.

"Why did you bring him here?" Hermione had a very bad impression of Malfoy, especially during flying lessons, and she later learned what mudblood meant.

"You'll find out later," he shrugged, "you two will take Weasley and Potter to the 'old place' later, I have something to say to them." Solim glanced at Ron, who was feasting, and he didn't notice that the two Slytherin students had come to the Gryffindor table. "You'd better hurry, it's Thursday, don't let them take up your study time." With that, Solim took Draco with him.

Hearing that the time she and Neville had to learn at Solim's was going to be compressed, Hermione immediately stood up and pulled Neville, who was still stained with a mouthful of cream, to Harry and Ron's side.

"Harry, Ron, don't eat, come with us, hurry. " There's still nothing to say about Hermione's mobility.

Solim led Draco down the hallway near the trophy showroom on the third floor, where portraits were on both sides. The two came to a portrait of a door, and Solim touched the doorknob three times before a real doorknob appeared.

"What is this?" Draco kept an eye on Solim's movements.

"A secret room, there are many of them in Hogwarts." Solim opened the door and walked in first. Draco hesitated and followed.

When the door is closed, the doorknob on the portrait disappears, and it becomes the way it should be.

Draco came in and began to observe the hidden room, which did not look like a classroom, it was a circular room with three doorless door frames leading to the other room.

"What kind of place is this? I never knew there was a room like this in the school." Draco looked back at the door that had just closed behind him.

"I come here every second, fourth, and sixth day of the week to tutor Neville and also 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 were you thinking 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?".

Draco's face turned gloomy.

"Haa.. this kid, 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.

"Also, 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.

*Clap-clap*, Solim clapped his hands when he saw that everyone was coming. "Since everyone is here, sit down. "

Harry and Ron looked at each other and sat down honestly.

No one knows 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 his behaviour." 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. "And 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 as well." 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 great 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 Mr. Ron Weasley 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, that's a sufficient reason to hate Malfoy so much!" Ron was still glaring at Draco.

"Tsk, Tsk, let's to your reasoning." Solim pointed at Draco, "Come, Draco, tell me how the Weasleys are traitors and scum?" and then pointed at Ron, "Come, Weasley, you also come and tell me that Vincent Crabbe and Gregory Goyle's father was the same as Lucius Malfoy, they all used to work under that 'You-know-who', also Huffelpuf's Ernie Macmillan, and not to mention your Gryffindor's McLaggen and even Longbottom's family have also had dark wizards, why don't you hate them?".

"I hate 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 heard these words more often 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 you guys started to hold a grudge against each other." 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 your families 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, the end result will be both parties trying to kill each other, you want that?"

"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 Malfoys and Weasleys, or at least between Ron and Draco.

"Yes, and so do the fathers of both of them," Solim touched his chin, "but I guess they haven't explained the ins and outs to their sons." 

"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, or 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.

"Is that the history of wizards fighting against all kinds of magical creatures and magical races, and defeating them to establish the wizarding world?" Hermione has been interested in the history of wizards since she knew she was a wizard, and she also reads professional magic books, but she reads more historical and humanistic anecdotes, or biographies.

The ancient wizards had a miserable life. Of course, it was only miserable for a while before the wand was invented, after that, anyone who could do magic could bully humans. The magical talents of human wizards are really incomparable to those who are born with magical powers, and there were many magical creatures that have become extinct in modern times that feed on humans.

The magical creatures were ruthless in ancient times on these Wizards. Luckily, though, the wand was invented. Then came the use of offensive magic - which meant that the wizards had the power to fight back. A large number of spells were studied and used in the wars between wizards and other magical races, and wizards gained a huge advantage until they encountered elves.

Elves were humanoid creatures, and they can be said to be the darlings of magic. Their theoretical lifespan is 800 years, and elves were born with magical powers. This means that the magic of elves is much more powerful than that of wizards.

No matter what kind of magical creature it is, the accumulation of mana depends on time. Suppose that many hundreds of years old elf and a human wizard who are tens of years old have started a film, in view of the elf's terrifying affinity for magic and the huge magic accumulated in a long life, how can you fight with them?

Human's magic affinity is definitely not as good as elves, even if an elve is not interested or didn't learn magic, elves start to accumulate magic power in their mother's womb.

Most elves have more magic than most adult wizards when they are still wearing open crotch pants.

Thankfully, their reproduction was not good and the number of elves was so small compared to human wizards. During the ongoing war, the social structure of the wizards gradually improved. The most important of these was the founding of the Presbyterian Church and the establishment of Sculler.

In earlier times, the wizard family taught the next generation like this: Eve was good at potions, Hadis was good at curses, Sidharta had a knack for the use of magic power, and Wang had many spells. The next generation was gathered together by several families, and each family sent out one person to teach the young wizards—this was the predecessor of Sculler.

If the founding of the Council of Elders was to unite the wizards into a single fist, then Sculle was the power to punch out.

Yes, human magic talent is bad, magic affinity is poor, the body is fragile, and life is short. These are objective facts. But human beings also have the advantage of insatiable desire and strong ability to reproduce.

In the constant war, most of the magical races were defeated, and some were exterminated by the wizards. But the elves existed for a long time, and both elves and wizards had learned a lot from each other during the war.

The magic unique to the elves, which was later studied by wizards who invented the Imperius Curse. And the elves have found a knack for unleashing destructive magic from the captured wands. The war escalated as the elves also mastered offensive magic. Given the power of the elves, the power of these spells was very strong, and the wizards did suffer a great loss at first. But the number of elves was too small, and their long growth cycle meant that they weren't blessed in breeding and could not afford to fight a war of attrition with human wizards.

Gradually, the elves disappeared from the wizard's sight. They hid, recuperated, and licked their wounds. But they had not forgotten the hatred, the elves were also intelligent creatures, they used their unique magic to induce a wizard, and when this wizard led a group of wizards into the trap carefully prepared by the elves, what was the result..?
