Chapter 712: Family relations in the wizarding world
After that, Fudge promoted his father, and now their family has become Fudge's favor.
Now that Dad has been promoted and there is no possibility of being hostile to the Ministry of Magic, Percy's job is getting better. Under this circumstance, Percy's relationship with his family eased smoothly.
Ron’s face was filled with a happy smile, “Percy and Penello went home a few days ago. Percy apologized to Mom and Dad. Mom and Dad also apologized to Percy, and then Everyone is reconciled."
A few days ago, with Penello's encouragement, Percy bought a gift and went back to the Burrow. He apologized to his parents, and finally his parents apologized to him. After that, their family was reconciled again.
"That's good." George nodded. "Percy's work is on the right track. Now Mr. Weasley has been reused, and those bad things have passed away."
"That's not it." Ron said happily. "Today my mother was thinking about preparing gifts for Penello and Percy. She came to Diagon Alley early in the morning and took Ginny to Percy. Prepare gifts with Penello."
He said mysteriously, "I guess my mother is still thinking about preparing for the wedding of Percy and Penello."
"No." George was stunned. "They are too young. Percy has only graduated for a year, and Penello has just graduated. Married at such a young age?"
"Hmm." Ron nodded. "Aren't wizards all like this? Not to mention that the world is not peaceful now, and everyone wants to pursue their own happiness."
He added, “Of course, I guess my mother wants Penello to control Percy. She and my dad can’t control Percy anymore. Now I can only hope that Penello will control Percy. Otherwise, They can't do anything about it when something like that happened last time."
Ron guessed that his mother's recent move to win over Penello seemed to want to control Percy through Penello in turn. What happened last time made his mother sad for a long time.
"This is also a way."
George wore a weird expression. He didn't expect Mrs. Weasley to understand such a traditional way of fighting between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
This is indeed a good way, George found out early. The family relationship in the magic world is much more open than the same Muggle world.
As he had discovered before, the fact that the population of the magical world is too small is because men and women are too equal, resulting in a low birth rate.
Female wizards in the magical world, they are born to master power, they are born to master magic, and they are not lost to any male.
The concept of equality between men and women in the wizarding world has far surpassed that of the Muggle world for many years. Even the most radical developed countries, above the equality of men and women, have been left invisible by the wizarding world.
Although due to differences in preferences and habits, politicians in the magical world are still mainly male. But being a girl can also become a wizard, even a powerful wizard. Whether at home or in society, the status of women is unprecedentedly strong.
The first evidence is that the magic world is monogamous, and George has not even heard of the so-called extramarital affairs and infidelity in the magic world.
Of course, this may be because the population of the magic world is too small. But considering the Muggle world, neighbors in the neighborhood can cheat.
Then it is more likely that the wizards with these actions in history were killed by their partners without knowing it.
All the derailed people were killed and disguised as magical accidents. This was the most likely explanation that George had speculated.
After all, in the early magic world, magic accidents were very frequent. Just need to secretly kill the derailed person, cover up the matter, and everything will be as if it had never happened.
When things were covered up and the wizarding world was too closed, this caused the wizards who were born in the wizarding world to naturally not know what cheating was about.
In this special environment, wizards seem to have formed a formula of loyalty to marriage.
With equality between men and women between husbands and wives, another kind of equal relationship naturally follows, that is, equality between children and parents.
Although the parents of the magical world can still use stronger violence and threats when they are young, they can order their children to comply with their own requirements. But obviously, this kind of crude education is absolutely unworkable for the general environment of the wizarding world.
George has seen several real examples of tragedies.
Barty Crouch Jr., his father Barty Sr., just doesn’t understand this educational rule of the wizarding world at all. Old Batty had too high expectations of Batty, ignoring the equal relationship between wizards and families, and being too harsh on Batty when he was a child.
When they are too young, children naturally know how to pretend to be a good baby. But wizards are not Muggles, their power will increase day by day The grievances in their hearts will skyrocket.
Children in the wizarding world will soon have the ability to resist. Once waiting for an opportunity, the grievances in those hearts burst out immediately.
Barty’s grievances just coincided with the expansion of the Death Eaters, and Barty Jr. and the Death Eaters hit it off and became Voldemort’s loyal men.
He regarded Voldemort as his ‘real father’, and he was overjoyed to kill his disliked father Barty for his ‘real father’ Voldemort.
Another example of tragedy, not so extreme. Sirius Black's family relationship also does not conform to the normal family relationship of the Wizarding World.
At the end of the time, the Black family was very similar to the crazy Gunter family.
Black’s parents, like the old madmen of the Gunter family, have also discriminated against and humiliated Black since they were young because Black did not meet their expectations.
The more they humiliate and discriminate against Black, the more resistant Black is.
Black didn't even go to Slytherin, but instead went to Gryffindor. This almost mad parents' behavior made Black excited.
By the time Black reached the fifth grade, he already had the power to resist. He completely severed his relationship with his parents, and even the news of their death would only make him feel relaxed.
In addition to these two examples, there are also the Gunter family, and Voldemort's mother Merope is also often abused. After she found an opportunity, she immediately abducted a rich second-generation Muggle and eloped, never wanting to return to Gunter's house.
Wizards, because they are born with power, as if they are born with power, they are truly gifted human rights.
Naturally, they will not follow many of the rules that are unique to the Muggle world. The wizard carried a wand with him, more impulsive than when a Muggle carried a gun.
