"The history of magic often glosses over what wizards have done to other magical races." Hermione responded helplessly to Flegg, who seemed to be more indignant than usual. She then spoke to the fairies in a loud voice with a serious expression, "But as far as I know, there are no records of wizards mentioning that Gryffindor stole the sword... and according to modern law..."
"Aha! Sure enough, this is another story made up by the fairies! The fairies always think that we are persecuting them! " Ron's shout interrupted Hermione. He was annoyed that the cameras had focused on him today. "The fairies say that wizards are always trying to surpass them. I think we should count ourselves lucky that we made it so that they couldn't use our wands."
"Of course Gryffindor is not a thief! My mother told me that story! Legnak the First couldn't bear to part with the sword he made for Gryffindor, so he lied that Gryffindor had stolen the sword from him. He sent a group of his subjects to ask for it, but they were all defeated by Gryffindor. So, the fairies spread the rumor that Gryffindor had stolen the sword. " Seamus Finnegan spoke with a thick accent. As a Quidditch fan, he was happy to hear that Allen was planning to form a new club, but now he pointed his thick finger at the fairies and glared at them.
"The arrogance of wizards again!" Tab glared angrily at the wizards when he heard so many voices of objection. He clenched his long fingers into a fist and waved them around. "Not only did you stop us from using our wands, but you also took our treasures. Now, you even want to run our bank!"
"But you fairies are not fluffy bunnies, are you?" Ron replied. "You have also killed many of our people, and your methods are very despicable!"
"Ladies and gentlemen! Please calm down! I understand that you are protecting the founder, but let's not talk about whether or not Gryffindor stole the sword. After his death, the sword should be returned to us fairies. "Nagenoch took a step forward, and his tone became more and more unyielding." We fairies never steal! The rightful owner of an item is always its maker, not its buyer. The buyer should return the original item to the maker after his death. But now, you are passing an item made by fairies from wizard to wizard without any follow-up payment. This is no better than stealing! "
"That is a custom of fairies! It is not a custom of wizards. According to the laws of wizards, be it ancient or newly amended, wizards have never recognized this custom of fairies. Your standards of conduct cannot be used to restrict the actions of wizards. " Hermione finished her words in one breath, and then said rudely in a loud voice, "I understand that you fairies feel that you have been treated unfairly and cruelly, but this has nothing to do with Gryffindor's sword. After Gryffindor, the owner of the Hogwarts is the owner of the sword. Even after his death, there is no need to return it."
"This is just a rule of wizards. You are always putting your greed on us step by step!" Ring Pull knew the rules of wizards, but he could not find a better reason. Still, he stubbornly shouted, "That Connelly Fudge plotted to control the gold reserves of fairies when he was the minister, and would 'not hesitate to use force' when necessary! That's what you sorcerers have admitted in your Antinomy. That's what your magazines say! I remember it also said that the former minister of the Ministry of Magic, Connelly Fudge, had the nickname of 'Fairy Killer.' According to the article, Fudge was' always talking about the fairies he killed. 'The methods he used included drowning them in water, pushing them down from a building, poisoning them, and roasting them into pies! "
The overly exaggerated conspiracy theory of "Singing Different Tales" from a few years ago made many angry wizards break out in laughter when it was brought up again. It also made some people realize that it didn't take much time for this niche magazine to become a print media second only to the Daily Prophet.
"Ring Pull! Calm down! " Nagnok noticed the change in the atmosphere. He was a little annoyed and stopped his companion from bringing up an article that even the fairies knew was not very reliable. He said slyly, "The Department of Mystical Creatures Management and Control of the Ministry of Magic is also here. Their Fairy Liaison Office is the department that deals with property disputes between wizards and fairies... Although things are a little troublesome, history is not without guidance. We fairies will do anything to protect our own wealth... So I request that we arbitrate our claims according to the law. I believe the Ministry of Magic will not be biased because of Headmaster Harris's identity..."
The surrounding fairies nodded and raised their fists. They looked at Allen and Hermione with anger and challenge. The fairies were extremely smart. After many years of unsuccessful rebellions, they had been able to use various methods to effectively deal with their relationship with the wizards. Although many wizards still thought that the fairies were subservient to them, the fairies had successfully made a place for themselves in the magical world... Now, of course, the fairies knew that this could not stop the opening of the Wizard Bank of Harris. However, since they were already at the door, and the other party still wanted to take back control of the economy of the magical world, the fairies naturally understood that they could not directly rebel against the wizard government like before. However, with the vengeful nature of them, they would naturally find ways to make things difficult for the other party in these aspects to fight back.
"Everyone, please stop arguing... I have a question..." Allen habitually put his hands behind his back and let the staff stand on the ground by itself. The food bag hanging on the head of the staff sword swayed with its movement, but it did not move the staff at all. "Mr. Nagenoch, if I understand correctly, according to the custom of the fairies, the person who bought the item from the fairies should return the original item to the original fairy after death, right?"
"Yes, that's right. After death, you have to return the item to us fairies." Nagenoch looked at Allen in confusion. However, he noticed that the direction of the conversation seemed to be in his favor, so he did not hesitate and affirmed Allen's words.
"Then, Mr. Godrick Gryffindor is not dead..." Allen looked at the fairies with a mocking gaze. "So, what are we arguing about here? This is also the reason why I didn't say anything when I was puzzled... Because the current situation, no matter which side we are on, should not be a matter of debate..."
Both the live audience and the wizards who were watching the live broadcast were instantly speechless. They had seen the news of Ravenclaw's Divinity Show, and now Gryffindor was also alive. They could not believe their ears. It was too shocking.
The fairies stared at Allen in disbelief. Their round heads, which were much larger than normal humans, shook repeatedly. They could not believe Allen's words.
"Liar!" Tab was exasperated. "Who can live for so long..." He seemed to have thought of Ravenclaw and shook his head. "I remember clearly that during the end of the Hogwarts semester, you wizards reported that Gryffindor had transferred the founder's rights to you. How could he still be alive?!"
"Mr. Gryffindor did indeed transfer the rights to me, but what does that have to do with whether he is alive or not? Of course, it's not convenient for me to reveal Mr. Gryffindor's whereabouts and status without his permission … "Alan's indifferent gaze swept across the suspicious fairies. He said nonchalantly," Since you don't believe me, then use your own methods to divine … If you're not good in this aspect, I believe you have enough funds to invite a gifted prophet … to confidently judge if what I've described is true … You fairies have your own magic system, and you can use some magic without wands … I think you can easily test this in matters related to wealth. "
The fairies felt as if their throats were being strangled by an invisible hand. Their faces were flushed red. Tab, who was originally furious, looked at their president, Nagenoch, in shock. However, he saw that Nagenoch's hands were tightly clenched together and his mouth was shut. He did not say a word. It was obvious that he had no way to refute Allen.
"Then, based on the current situation, the creator of Gryffindor's sword has passed away, but the user is still alive in this world. According to your customs, how should we deal with this situation?" Allen sneered. "Also, I have to remind you that I do not intend to rely on the fact that Mr. Gryffindor is still alive. I will only act according to the laws of the wizards."
