Hogwarts: I really don't want to be a wizard

Chapter 17 Gretel’s Ambition
director's office.

Flitwick sat upright, his eyes scanning the two students in front of him.

"Ms. Penelope Criwatt, Mr. McGarrett, regarding the making of the Unbreakable Vow.

Have you two thought it through enough?

Did the decision you made come from your own free thoughts, and were you not subjected to any coercion, coercion, or inducement in the process of making this decision?
Are you aware of all the consequences of making an unbreakable vow? …”

Professor Flitwick was extremely cautious, asking dozens of questions in rapid succession, leaving no time for anyone to think.

After getting all the answers from the two of them, Flitwick slowly exhaled and picked up his wand to test the two of them.

It was finally confirmed that the two of them were not controlled by any magic spell, and that all decisions came from their independent thoughts.

"So, Mr. McGarrett, is your guardian aware of this matter and fully aware of the Unbreakable Vow?

and, most importantly, whether your guardian agrees with you and Ms. Penelope Criwatt in entering into a vow. "

Filius Flitwick had a serious look on his face, and he held the wand in his hand tightly. The tip of the wand shone with the light of lie detection, which was an ancient magic unique to the goblin tribe.

For more than ten centuries, the trust between goblins and goblins was protected.

"I have obtained the permission of my guardian, Mrs. Swangret, and explained to her the validity and consequences of the Unbreakable Vow within the framework of not violating the wizarding secrecy regulations."

In the past week, letters from Grete and Mrs. Swann could be said to be extremely frequent, and even Sebas, the always hardworking raven, had some opinions.

Running around several times or even dozens of times a day, even if it is a raven with full stamina, it will be almost exhausted after a week.

Fortunately, the two people who finally reached a consensus ended this hell-like torture for Raven and ushered in the long-awaited rest.

Filius Flitwick looked at the lie detection spell on the tip of the wand still shining firmly, and nodded imperceptibly.

Then he turned his body towards Penelo, who looked a little nervous.

"And what about you, Ms. Penelope Clivat?"

Penello clenched his hands tightly, his voice trembling, "Yes, I have fully communicated with my parents and obtained their permission."

Flitwick saw the gleam of the Lie Detector Charm begin to flicker, and snorted a question, but his tone was gentle.

"Penello, you are only 15 years old. This matter is more serious than you think, so we can't hide it from your parents. Do you understand?"

Penello clenched his fists and rubbed his legs vigorously, then raised his head and looked directly at Flitwick, "Dean, I did have permission, but only from my father.

He said that if I really want to do it, then go ahead and do it, but only under the witness of your professor.

Does this count as permission? "

Watching the light of the lie detection spell stabilize again, Flitwick relaxed. What he was worried about was that Penello was making such an important decision in private without telling his family.

If it is a dual wizard family, then the decision of both parents needs to be taken into consideration, but Penelo is of mixed race, and only her father is a wizard.

The wizarding world doesn't care much about what Muggles think, let alone Professor Flitwick who is a half-goblin.

As we all know, wizards>magical creatures>Muggles, this is the consensus of all wizards in the wizarding world.

"Then, since you have obtained permission and both parties have entered into an unbreakable oath voluntarily,

I will serve as a witness to your oaths and bear witness to your oaths. "

Following Filius Flitwick's instructions, Gretel and Penello knelt down on one knee facing each other, holding each other's right hands tightly. Flitwick picked up the staff and pressed it against their joined hands.

They began to conclude the oath that Grete had drawn up early on and that was recognized by both parties.

"Penelo Clivat, are you willing to provide your knowledge without reservation in McGarrett's research and try your best to complete the research."

"I am willing."

"Are you willing to keep the research results of both parties confidential and never leak the secrets to others behind McGarrett's back in any way?"

"I do." "Are you willing to..."

……

"McGarrett, are you willing to do everything you can to protect Penelope Clivat during the study."

"I am willing."

"Will you promise to never harm Penelope Clivet in any way?"

"I am willing."

……

With every oath taken, a dazzling tongue of fire emerges from the wand and wraps around the two clasped hands.

For a full 10 minutes, dozens or hundreds of oaths were made, and the hands held by the two people were completely covered by the chain formed by tongues of fire, just like the rising sun in the early morning.

Flitwick swore to Merlin that today's oath was the most complete and strictest unbreakable oath he had ever seen since the recorded history of the wizarding world.

If he were not a witness and needed to keep everything that happened when the oath was made secret, he would definitely write this shocking scene into the family history for future generations to admire.

"The Room of Requirement?"

Legend has it that there is a magical Room of Requirement in Hogwarts. When a person really needs it, it will appear just in time and perfectly meet the needs of the person in need.

Penelope had searched for it when he entered Hogwarts, but there was no clue at all.

She thought she would be like the seniors who had graduated and would either regret missing it or tell others that it was a legend.

Who would have thought that just after signing the vows with Gretel, he would receive such a big surprise.

"Yes, now we are in the research room created by the Room of Requirement.

From now on, we will study theories here, and when the samples are produced, we will promote the products to the entire wizarding world and build our business empire. "

In fact, Gretel's desire cannot be satisfied by a small wizarding world. Billions of people outside the wizarding world are his ultimate goal.

But you must not tell Penello this now, otherwise this fourth-year student who has just turned 15 will be frightened out of his wits.

Through Gretel's understanding, he can be sure that the wizarding world and the Muggle world are definitely not parallel lines that do not intersect.

At least this is the case in the wizarding world of Great Britain. The land around the wizarding towns alone cannot support the wizards of Great Britain.

Therefore, within the scope of Great Britain, there is definitely a very close cooperation between wizarding authorities and Muggle authorities that is not known to everyone.

From themselves to others, no matter which continent they are on, wizards can never truly break away from human society.

At least, most wizards who are not engaged in production cannot leave.

Judging from the surface data, no matter which country the wizards are from, most of them think that wizards are superior to others, so they do not accept mixing with humans.

But in fact, the solitary nature of wizards is largely due to their fear of Muggles.

The backward witch-hunting movement in the Middle Ages still frightens wizards. In the eyes of pioneers, this is even more true for the Muggle world, which has made great strides in preparation for technological leaps.

Gretel has no interest in unifying the world, nor does he have the idea of ​​becoming the uncrowned king of the world.

But it is absolutely impossible for him to give up the Muggle market worth hundreds of millions.

Magic can only be a shortcut for him to realize his life plan, but it cannot and will never be the end of his life plan.

　　Dumbledore: GG, look, when they made the unbreakable oath, does it look like when we made the blood oath?
　　GG: Albus, are you saying that little Gretel or little Penelope will be locked up by another person in a ghost place called Newgamund, or Monudegar?
　　Dumbledore (with a dark look on his face): If you talk like that, I won't even come to express my condolences when you die.
