Eli personally felt that it would be unwise for a first-year student to assert that he had chosen a certain path, let alone a certain faction. No big person of any group would take children like them seriously. They are not old enough to be taken seriously, and adults will always avoid them even when discussing business affairs.

Eli's family is in good condition. Mr. Smith is used to communicating with him on an equal footing. He has cultivated his ability to think independently since he was a child, and has enough respect for him. But Mrs Smith's attitude was different. She didn't tell him what was happening in the wizarding world at all, even though she admitted that her son was a smart and precocious man.

Eli was a little slandered at her behavior, but not to the point of dissatisfaction. Anyway, he has eyes and is good at thinking. He will look around himself, which is often more intuitive than the words in the newspaper.

Speaking of newspapers, there doesn't seem to be any important news on it - Eli has ordered the Daily Prophet since last week, and after reading the official press release of the Ministry of Magic's hard work for several days, I feel that except for the photo above Aside from moving, the rest is much more boring than The Times.

However, apart from the front-page headlines about the Ministry of Magic's work trends, reports on other pages always have something that makes him uncomfortable. Today's entertainment edition used a sarcastic tone to report a story that a magic item was mistakenly entered into Muggle society, causing 11 Muggles to be injured, and said in a mocking tone: "Muggles can't always see the magic around them. They believe that they have misremembered, hallucinated, and even rejected other Muggles who were closer to the truth... stupidity, why do wizards still need to hide themselves from these blind people? It's puzzling."

Eli felt that the tone of the report was even more puzzling. Is this the attitude that an official newspaper should have? He read from it that he was obviously superior, and he was a little hesitant about whether he was being overly sensitive.

He looked around on the Gryffindor table in the early morning, hoping for some support and understanding.

"Look at this report," he said to Remus Lupin, who was sitting next to him, "a bit taken for granted, isn't it?"

Lupin was surprised by his sudden conversation, the two of them were neither familiar nor strange, and they were friendly in class occasionally, but not much contact in private. Lupin was always with his roommates, James. Porter, Siris. Blake and Peter. Pediru, the four of them gradually began to become inseparable.

　　But he quickly returned Eli with a friendly smile, took the newspaper and read it. He read quickly, and it didn't take long for him to return the newspaper, his expression very calm.

　　"Most wizards are like this." Lupin said softly, "I sincerely feel that non-wizarding races are inferior, not only Muggles, but also goblins, elves, giants, vampires, and... and other intelligent beings. This view has always existed, and has recently become more popular, even to the point that it can be openly reported in newspapers. "

　　Eli's brow furrowed slightly.

　　"I've been reading The Times since I was a kid." He mused, "I don't think an official newspaper like this will be published just because a certain point of view is popular." It should be a mouthpiece for the official sector to some extent, representing the dominant winds and issuing views conducive to equality, solidarity, and more harmonious development – and even if there is a tradition of such discriminatory ideas, it should be overtly curbed. "

　　That is, the so-called political correctness. Although Eli does not share all of these points, there is no doubt that it has a very clear impact on the elimination of visible racial discrimination, the correction of the wind and the maintenance of peace.
