Everyday Players at Hogwarts..

Chapter 199 Space Agency

When Ron and Draco were arguing about the moon, Harry was confused.

He finally understood that Draco's stories that always ended with him narrowly escaping from a Muggle helicopter were not intended to attract his attention.

And Ron also told the story about how he once nearly hit a hang glider while riding Charlie's broken broomstick, and it wasn't to compete with Draco.

Both of them really lack common sense.

Draco thinks Wink's story is unreliable, not because there is a moon on the moon and he only relies on sweeping six stars, but because he likes to tell big stories and is unreliable.

According to this, maybe in Draco and Ron's own eyes, their stories are perfect and have no loopholes?

Harry finally understood why there were Muggle Studies classes.

"Just wait a minute, what you are saying is too outrageous."

"Outrageous? Harry's talking about me? Not Weasley?"

"Harry, I, Ron Weasley, can do no wrong in this regard."

Harry's words temporarily silenced the two of them.

"Do you know how far away the moon is from the earth? It's about 1000 million miles. And take the first version of the Nimbus , which is much faster than Sweeping Six Stars, as an example. Its speed is one hundred miles per hour."

"Then this means that if the wizard takes the Nimbus 1000, it will take him 60 hours, which means it will take 68 days and years." Harry looked at the two of them meaningfully.

"Merlin's beard!"

"How dare Wenke!" Ron couldn't help but mocked.

"How did you get this number?" Draco keenly discovered the blind spot.

"Don't you know, the United States landed on the moon more than 20 years ago." Harry held his forehead, speechless.

"Are American wizards so powerful? Has Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry surpassed Hogwarts? It is indeed a school founded by the descendants of Slytherin!" Draco looked forward to it.

"No, it's Muggles," Harry said emphatically.

"How could it be! Just Muggles--" Draco collapsed again. He had always been proud of wizards and found out that the Muggles he looked down on were so powerful.

"Did they use magic?" Ron also looked surprised.

In his opinion, Muggles were like his poor relatives. Although he had to treat them kindly, it was a theorem that they were inferior to wizards, an undeniable theorem.

"There's no magic, just rely on their technology."

"And it only took about four days." Although Harry was only at the elementary school level and didn't understand much else like the first cosmic speed, he still understood some common sense.

Hearing this, both Draco and Ron's world views were shattered.

If you introduce them to things like nuclear bombs and guns, they won't be too surprised. Some magic can also do it.

But such a long distance and speed allowed them, as Quidditch enthusiasts, to deeply understand the gap between Muggles and wizards.

"The fastest Nimbus 2000 is only 186 miles per hour." Ron said in a dry voice.

"Harry, the mysterious wizard you are talking about must be from the United States. He can land on the moon and looks like he has lived on it for a long time. He must have only used Muggle methods." Draco regained his composure, but his Pride can never go back.

[This is why Muggle Studies classes never talk about these things. They talk more about Muggles’ basic necessities, food, housing, transportation, and behaviors.

Airplanes, rockets, moon landing, these things that undermine wizards' self-confidence are not taught in Hogwarts' Muggle Studies class. Voldemort was born too early. 50 years ago, he was just a fifth-year student at Hogwarts.

He was almost 40 when the United States landed on the moon. His world view at that time was already dead, and he missed the opportunity to bury a Horcrux on the moon.

This is why the Department of Mysteries of the Ministry of Magic has a dedicated Space Office.

The Department of Mysteries of the Ministry of Magic is more like a place dedicated to research by the Ministry of Magic, the contents of which not even the Minister of Magic can know.

Their employees are called silencers, and employees are prohibited from discussing their work or revealing any department-related information.

The study of space is also regarded by them as something that cannot be known to ordinary people like love, time, thought, and death.

Just like their other jobs.

They studied love in the Hall of Love, which, according to Albus Dumbledore, is always locked; they studied time in the Hall of Time, where the Time-Turner was stored by the Ministry of Magic before the War of the Department of Mysteries. Here; they studied the nature of thought in the Hall of the Brain; they also studied death in the Hall of Death, which has a curtained arch: those who approach it can hear the voices of departed loved ones, crossing Anyone who passes through the curtain will die immediately.

This shows how much they value space.

Ryan couldn't help but think of this after hearing Harry's conversation.

However, although the Department of Mysteries looks tall and has a high degree of autonomy, they are still no match for Voldemort.

After Voldemort took control of the Ministry of Magic, the Department of Mysteries fabricated false research conclusions for the new regime.

That is, magic can only be inherited through the birth of wizards, and the magical abilities of Muggle-born people may be acquired through theft or violence. This also became the beginning of the establishment of the Muggle-born Registration Committee by the Ministry of Magic and the beginning of the persecution of Muggle-borns.

It's really ridiculous. This is the disadvantage of not turning research into combat effectiveness. Moreover, their research is too high-end and is simply not accessible to their level.

Ryan has also seen the contents of their research, which are all specious guesses and summaries of patterns. 】

"Yes, Professor Dumbledore said that the wizard is probably from the United States, and he also guessed that the wizard has never been to the ground." While Ryan was thinking, Harry confirmed Draco's guess.

"What does the Ministry of Magic do for food? My father loves studying Muggle things so much, but he has never been taken seriously!" Ron was very angry.

In the past, because of his mother's influence, he also thought that although his father's research was interesting, it was just not doing his job properly.

But now, in his eyes, his father is the future of the wizarding world, and may even be the first wizard among wizards to land on the moon with magic!
Those Yankees who took Muggle shortcuts were no match for his father.

Now, Ron even thinks that Dumbledore is not as great as his father.

His father, Arthur Weasley, was the Prometheus of the wizarding world, stealing the Muggle moon landing technology for wizards!

"Indeed, that's ridiculous, Ministry of Magic." Draco actually nodded in agreement at this time.

As a sworn enemy of the Weasley family, Malfoy is a member.

From an early age, he had heard his father denigrate Arthur Weasley more than he did Weasley as a whole.

This made Draco understand his dad even better than Ron did.

Now, in Draco's eyes, Ron's father was greater than Ron had imagined.

In fact, he now feels that the poverty of Ron's family is a great proof! ——And, sparkling!
