Capítulo 18: 18- Rhys: You have too much misunderstanding about Slytherin
Draco Malfoy was convinced that there was something wrong with his hearing, otherwise, he couldn't explain why someone dared to say such a thing in front of him.
The impact of Rhys' words on him was so strong that he froze on the spot and his thinking came to a standstill.
After Rhys spoke, the entire box fell into silence, and Daphne looked at Rhys as if he was a madman. As a core member of a magical family that has been inherited for thousands of years, Daphne certainly knows the 'details' of the Malfoy family. The courtship letter written by the ancestor of the Malfoy family to Queen Elizabeth I is still stored in her family's vault!
But there is a saying that goes well: even if some things are true, you can't just talk about them everywhere. Rhys's words perfectly fit this principle.
As one of the most powerful families in the wizarding world today, not everyone can speak of the history of the Malfoy family. If Rhys's words were spread, he might cause a big disturbance and be wildly retaliated against by the Malfoy family. Thinking of this, Daphne couldn't help but sweat for Rhys.
The definition of a pure-blood wizard can be divided into two categories:
A broad sense and a narrow sense-
In the broad sense, as long as the family has a long history and are all wizards, they can call themselves pure-blood wizards; in the narrow sense, pure-blood wizards abide by a drop of blood. Principle: If there are Muggles in the family genealogy, and the family that has intermarried with Muggles and the person has not been expelled from the family in time, then the next generation should not be a pure-blood family.
The Malfoy family has always prided itself on being a "pure-blood family" and certainly cannot accept the fact that its ancestors married Muggles.
When Rhys said this, he immediately broke Draco Malfoy's defense.
After a few seconds, his consciousness gradually returned to his mind, and with it returned endless anger.
Malfoy, overwhelmed with rage, roared and threw himself at Rhys, who was sitting in his seat. He swore on the name of his surname that he would teach this guy who had slandered the Malfoy family an unforgettable lesson.
Rhys had never seen anything like that. Faced with the angry Malfoy, he sat in his seat and calmly knocked on the table with his wand. Several colorful ribbons flew up into the air, tying Malfoy's hands and feet tightly.
"You Mongrel! Crabbe, Goyle -" Malfoy, who had lost the ability to move freely, did not shut up. He directly ordered his two followers to attack and reverse the situation.
However, although Crabbe and Goyle look dumb, they are actually not stupid. The two of them just moved back subconsciously, and then stood still. After witnessing Malfoy being apprehended instantly, they lost the courage to confront Rhys.
Seeing that Crabbe and Goyle did not obey his orders, Malfoy became even more angry, but before he could continue to speak, a small cake floated up from the table and went into his mouth with a swishing sound.
His mouth was tightly blocked.
"Calm down first." Rhys sighed, looking at Draco Malfoy lying on the ground speechless, with pity in his eyes.
These guys are really crazy. Does he don't even know his history..
Rhys was a little regretful that he did not carry those letters with him from back then, otherwise he would definitely show Draco how the Malfoy ancestor invited him to officiate at his wedding to a Muggle noble.
"Why are you still standing there? It's time for you to go back to your box - do you also want me to treat you two to a dessert like him before you leave?"
Looking at Malfoy who was "tasting" the cake, Crabbe and Goyle put Malfoy on their shoulders without saying a word, and carried him out of the carriage.
"If you have any doubts about what I said, then write a letter to your father or grandfather, or look through your own family tree and family history, and everything will come to light."
Before Malfoy was carried out, Rhys did not forget to shout something at his back, which made Malfoy shake with anger.
Hermione: (๑✪ᆺ✪๑)
After easily dismissing the three troublemakers, Rhys was greeted by Hermione's admiring gaze and Daphne's concerned questioning.
"Are you crazy? I'm afraid you've offended the Malfoy family to death now!" Daphne's eyes were full of anxiety, "Draco's father is Lucius Malfoy, a popular figure, according to my father, Mr Malfoy is also close to Minister Fudge, not to mention one of the board of directors of Hogwarts! if he wants to take revenge on you..."
"He won't, ▀ ̿ĺ̯ ▀̿ ̿" Rhys said very firmly.
Daphne was shocked. She didn't understand why Lucius Malfoy, the contemporary head of the Malfoy family, would ignore Rhys' words that challenged the Malfoy family's bottom line.
"It's very simple. What I'm saying here is what only the three of us and Malfoy and his minions heard. But if Lucius pursues the matter in a big way, then it won't be just the six of us who know about it. Judging from your appearance, you should know that I am telling the truth, right?"
"Of course, but-"
"Isn't that enough? Does Lucius not know what the Malfoy family is like?"
For Lucius, the best way to deal with this matter is to ignore it as a child's joke, otherwise, it will only lead to disgrace because the Malfoy family was really close to many Muggle nobles getting dowries from the royal families and getting Married to muggle princesses.
After listening to Rhys' explanation, Daphne suddenly felt that what he said seemed quite reasonable?
She felt a little at ease, but still told Rhys to be vigilant and be careful of retaliation from Malfoy.
Rhys nodded repeatedly, thanked her for her kindness, then picked up the dessert and continued to enjoy it.
Cold and delicious ice cream, soft and sweet cakes, puffs filled with delicate cream... Rhys enjoys delicious desserts unscrupulously.
As for Malfoy?
Perhaps because Draco calmed down on the way back to the box, he did not come back here to cause trouble for Rhys.
Around twelve o'clock, accompanied by a loud noise from the aisle, a woman with a nice smile and dimples opened the stall door and asked: "Honey, do you want to buy some snacks?"
Although he had eaten a lot of desserts, firstly, as the saying goes, "desserts are in another stomach", and secondly, Rhys also wanted to see the food in today's wizarding world, so he jumped up.
Merlin's Milky Eyes, Bertie Bott's Every-Flavour Beans, Droobles Best Blowing Gum, Chocolate Frogs, Pumpkin Pasties, Cauldron Cakes, Liquorice Wands…
There were a wide variety of snacks on the train, and Rhys took a little of everything, but in the end, it was Daphne who paid the bill—she insisted on a treat because she had just enjoyed Rhys's ice cream and desserts.
Hermione took out several boxes of washed fruits from her backpack to repay Daphne and Rhys.
After putting the snacks on the table, a simple but rich lunch begins!
The first pack of snacks that Rhys opened was called Bertie Bott's Every-Flavour Beans. This snack was very interesting. The first one tasted just like Muggle chocolate beans, but the second one had a different flavor. It was a mint flavor, the third one was lemon flavor, and the fourth one was a beef flavor...
The taste of each one is actually different!
Merlin's Milky eyes were just like an actual eyeball, it looked quite disgusting at first but after popping inside the mouth, the taste was like milk.
Rhys was stunned by all these snacks.
"What is this?" Hermione picked up a small box and looked at it curiously, "Chocolate frogs? are they chocolate made of frogs?"
She was worried about opening the box and finding a chocolate-flavored dried frog.
"What are you thinking about!" Daphne shouted.
Hermione said this, and Daphne had a picture in her mind. She quickly shook her head to drive away the terrifying picture.
"Chocolate frogs are chocolates in the shape of frogs. They also come with pictures of famous wizards and witches. Many people like to collect chocolate frog pictures."
Daphne's words reassured Hermione. She randomly selected a box of chocolate frogs and opened it. The box contained a card and a lifelike chocolate frog.
Just when she was about to pick up the card and read it, the frog stretched its hind limbs. Hermione's eyes widened suddenly, and then she let out a scream:
"Why is this frog still moving?!"
Screaming could not stop the chocolate frog from moving. After seeing the light again, the chocolate frog curled up its hind limbs and then jumped hard——
Just when it was about to be freed, a slender hand stretched out and cut its escape off midway.
"That's what a chocolate frog looks like. You must remember to hold it tightly after opening the box, otherwise it will run away." Daphne caught the chocolate frog that was trying to "escape" for Hermione. When she was about to return it to Hermione, Hermione rejected Daphne's offer.
The chocolate frog was too realistic, which was hard for her to accept for a while. She needed to do some mental construction.
"Let me see?" Rhys also became very interested in chocolate frogs. It was not difficult for him to make the chocolate turn into a frog, but he also knew very well how difficult this spell was for ordinary wizards, and it required high levels of transformation.
So how does the company that produces chocolate frogs manage to mass-produce this product? Is there a Transfiguration Master willing to work for them?
After taking the chocolate frog from Daphne, Rhys found that the magic spell on it did not change its essence as chocolate, and the temperature of Daphne's fingers even caused it to melt partially. But the magic also gives this chocolate frog its instincts. It can kick its legs, move around, and has the same survival instinct as a living frog.
From this chocolate frog, Rhys could feel very weak magic fluctuations.
Based on his own experience, he judged that this chocolate frog could jump around for at most 30 seconds, and after trying to jump one or two times it would turn into a lump of stiff chocolate, no different from the chocolate candies sold on Muggle shelves.
Rhys pinched the chocolate frog's hind legs and put it into his mouth. The chocolate frog struggled twice and then stopped moving. As for the taste, it tasted like ordinary milk chocolate, no different from the chocolate he bought before.
While Rhys was tasting the chocolate frog, Hermione picked up the picture in the box and stared at the characters on it.
"Salazar Slytherin, medieval (exact date unknown), one of the four famous founders of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. He was one of the earliest recorded Parselmouths and was good at many kinds of spells."
After hearing Hermione's words, Parselmouths raised his head directly: What, there is actually a picture of himself in the chocolate frog's box? Recalling that Daphne had said that only famous witches and wizards could appear in the chocolate frog picture, Parselmouths suddenly felt a little happy.
"Did you draw Slytherin? Let me see it." After seeing Hermione draw the Slytherin picture, Daphne immediately put down the snacks in her hand and borrowed the picture from Hermione.
After just one glance, she returned it with disappointment.
"It's just a regular gold card, not a bonus card. It's a pity."
From Daphne's mouth, Parselmouths was surprised to learn that the chocolate frog pictures were divided into three types: gold, silver and bronze, as well as some rare hidden models. This was a gold card, and there are also hidden pictures called "reward cards".
Rhys himself opened a box of Chocolate Frogs.
Perhaps it was fate, but the picture in this box of chocolate frogs turned out to be Salazar Slytherin as well, and according to Daphne's identification, it was actually a reward card!
"You see, this is the difference between the ordinary gold card and the reward card. There will be an additional sentence in the introduction of the reward card: "He is also a supporter of pure-blood supremacy." Daphne patiently told Rhys and Hermione. Difference Between Card and Rewards Card.
Rhys: "…"
"I don't quite understand why Slytherin is called a supporter of pure-blood supremacy" He couldn't help but ask.
"Because he only recruits pure-blood wizards as students."
Even Hermione knew the answer to this question.
Rhys felt as if something was stuck in his throat, choking him and his eyes turned black.
"You have a deep misunderstanding about Slytherin. It is a rumor that only pure-blood students are recruited. There are also mixed-blood wizards among Slytherin's students..." Isn't the son of Malfoy and the Muggle he took considered mixed blood! He tried hard to defend himself, but with little success.
He discovered that after thousands of years of fermentation, future generations' understanding of him had been severely distorted by the amplification of caring people. The Slytherin in the eyes of modern wizards was not him at all!
They just made a statue named "Salazar Slytherin" according to their own preferences and then enshrined it. As for what the statue looks like and what clothes it wears, it is up to future generations to decide for themselves. They used Slytherin's mouth to speak their own words.
Listening to Rhys's explanation, Hermione shook her head and just told him: This is what is recorded in the book.
Daphne couldn't accept Rhys's statement either.
In her opinion, the name Slytherin is bound to pure blood.
Rhys himself is helpless.
"You have to consider the environment when Hogwarts was founded. Isn't it possible that Slytherin wanted to recruit pure-blood students because they were more reliable?"
This statement was very novel and successfully aroused the interest of Hermione and Daphne. They asked Rhys to expand on it in detail because it was the first time they had heard this kind of statement.
