"Why do you think that is?"
Jon did not answer Weasley's question, and instead asked him a question of his own.
Why did he not deal with Voldemort, but chose to use his powers to deal with something that did not seem so important at this time?
"I don't know."
Mr. Weasley thought for a while, and finally shook his head.
After so many years, he was already used to Dumbledore making decisions that were relatively ahead of the curve. And before these decisions were realized, he would never be able to figure out the reason behind them.
So since this matter was related to Dumbledore, it was probably the same.
Rather than racking his brains and not being able to come up with an answer, he might as well admit his ignorance in exchange for an explanation from others.
"Alright, let me explain."
Actually, Jon himself did not know how to explain this matter, because Dumbledore's plan did not overlap with his. He could only think of some things as something that Dumbledore came up with.
But luckily, their original goal was the same, just that their methods were different.
"You know, Dumbledore, he is a great legendary Wizard. What he thinks about is never how a group of people live, but how a society moves forward. Do you know why Dumbledore did not choose to become the Minister of Magic, but came to Hogwarts to become the headmaster?"
Jon did not give Mr. Weasley a chance to answer, and continued.
"That is because he felt that changing the world of magic from a policy perspective is a very difficult thing, and it would be much easier to change it from the direction of the students.
I admit that the method he chose is correct.
After all, the students are the future of the world of magic. How they are represents the future of the world of magic.
It's just that Dumbledore's method is too mild, and his influence is ultimately only limited to Gryffindor Academy.
The scope was too small, and the time was too long. By the time he cultivated a new batch of students, the previous batch of students had already been assimilated into the secular world of magic. As a result, for such a long time, other than opening up the minds of those students a little, he did not do anything to promote social change.
That's why he handed this matter over to me because I also gave him a very feasible plan. He didn't have much time to do this plan, but I had a lot of time to do it.
What is this plan? "
Jon paused for a moment and reached out to wipe the floor-to-ceiling window in front of him.
The floor-to-ceiling windows originally reflected the scenery outside. At sunset, the scene of people coming and going on the streets outside and the streets were brightly lit was very beautiful.
And after Jon wiped it, the scene became even more colorful due to the interference of magical power.
The Wizard and Muggle, who were wearing different kinds of robes, walked together, talking and laughing. There were also many different changes in those buildings.
"This is …"
"This is the world I want to create. Maybe you think that I'm a little too idealistic, but I promise you that this is the scene. As long as we work hard, it will definitely appear in 10 years."
Will it?
Mr. Weasley didn't say anything, but his expression showed his doubt.
How could a society where the Wizard and Muggle lived in peace appear in this world within 10 years?
This wasn't an idea, this was a fantasy.
"I can understand what you're thinking now, but if you don't try to do it, how can you conclude that this matter can't be done?
Moreover, you haven't officially come into contact with what we want to do. "
Jon retracted his hand, and the floor-to-ceiling windows returned to the original scene. On his office desk, a life-like miniature Hogwarts castle appeared.
Of course, it was still an image.
But even if a Wizard wanted to project this kind of three-dimensional image, it was still a difficult matter. Jon had learned this kind of magic when he was young, and Helga's teaching was really all-encompassing.
"Mr. Weasley, you know a lot about Muggle society's technology, so I want to ask you, how long do you think it would take to achieve this level of technology in Muggle society?"
"Probably …" Mr. Weasley didn't know very well, "It would take a long time."
"At least 20 years, and I'm talking about the rapid development of their technology. To use this kind of technology in normal situations, it would take at least 20 years. Did you notice how long it took me just now?"
"Two seconds?
But you can't compare it like that. The Wizard and Muggle can't be compared in the first place. "
"Why can't it be?
We're all humans. Even though we live in different societies, we're still living under the same sky. Let's not talk about other things. Don't tell me those wizards who were born in Muggle families aren't wizards? "
Of course it was Wizard.
"The reason you're stumped by my question is because you've never thought about why a Wizard was born in Muggle's family, am I right?"
Mr. Weasley nodded. Although he had lived for a long time and had many children, he really couldn't answer Jon's questions.
"In this world, there's essentially no difference between a Wizard and a normal person. It's just that Wizard's luck is better, and he was born with the love of magic. But this kind of obstacle can't be changed. If normal people also receive the same love, then they can naturally use the power of magic to do things for themselves. If they can develop technology without magic, then what do you think they'll develop if they have magic?"
"If they have magic, of course they'll focus on researching it …"
Mr. Weasley didn't have much confidence in saying this.
"If they haven't come into contact with technology, then forget it. But when you come into contact with telephones, video, and all these things, would you still be satisfied with just using owls to send messages? You don't have to think about this kind of question, you must have an answer in your heart long ago. Otherwise, why would you spend so many years researching Muggle's things? "
Human intelligence was very important, because even in an idealistic world of magic, the relationship between subjective initiative and objective law had never changed. Magic itself was also a kind of existence in the world. From Jon's point of view, even if they had mastered magic now, the people of this society might not be willing to give up many conveniences.
