4. A Beginner's Guide to the History of the Grimm Family
Mr. Green seems to have been struck by a blunt force. Therefore, he decided to abandon the effort to prove the superiority of wizards through historical origins and instead opted to demonstrate the nobility of pure-blood wizards through their lineage
At that moment, Catherine turned her head to look at her husband, saying nothing
Feeling gloomy, she came downstairs and immediately summoned the little sprite, instructing Bonnie: "Clear out the small flower hall on the left and bring out the set of tables and chairs from the cellar and arrange them properly"
The other party agrees with the opinion of that Muggle friend, stating that both from the perspective of wizarding lineage and reality, marriages between individuals with excessively close bloodlines have indeed resulted in many unfortunate outcomes
Madam Granger raised her eyebrows unmistakably: "When you proposed to me, you said—our pure-blood wizards have an undeniable responsibility for the propagation of noble families, if I remember correctly, my dear"
Due to the tradition of the Green family being one of extensive reading and valuing reason over emotion, the majority of people hold the second viewpoint
The first book is "The Complete Bedtime Stories of Little Wizards". Place it by your pillow, and at night while you sleep, it will read stories to you in the voices of your family members that you have pre-set. When you fall asleep, it will automatically turn off. However, the stories are quite dull; there are no Snow White, no Sleeping Beauty, and you can forget about The Little Mermaid, as wizards never consider mermaids to be beautiful. These stories are usually about the adventures of great wizards or some famous quotes.

The tradition of saying one thing while meaning another has always been a hallmark of the Grimm family
However, there is another faction of the family that agrees more with the first report. They believe that pure-blood wizards are the backbone of the wizarding world, and that only by marrying strictly according to bloodlines and closely uniting with various ancient families can eternal glory be guaranteed. Naturally, most of them became Slytherins
The second book is "Don't Let Your Child Lose at the Starting Line - Magical Training for Preschoolers". This book has given Abby an unprecedented sense of warmth, it seems that modern education in China is quite similar to that in the magical world
For example, when the Green Little Academy opened on the first day, Mr. Green began his teaching with a passage praising wizards as the origin of everything. The little girl immediately raised her hand and asked, "But, but, Grandpa, Muggle history is much older than ours. After they had nations and kings, only then did Merlin appear. Can we not say that wizards originated from a part of Muggles?"
Therefore, you have only two choices. The first choice is to continue marrying into pure-blood wizarding families, which may seem very noble; however, repeated intermarriage will lead to consanguinity.
The old gentleman was extremely angry, as these things had already been read by his son before he turned three. Now, his little granddaughter is already six years old, and she is still reading them. How on earth did that rascal teach his daughter, completely tarnishing the reputation of pure-blood wizards
The patriarch, who has always been excessively rational to the point of being somewhat pessimistic, fainted from shock and immediately summoned his family to discuss the matter. The family members were divided into two factions: one side believed that the Muggle was talking nonsense, asserting that nobles must engage in marriage alliances, and the more alliances, the more noble they become
To say that magic is indeed a good thing, the two books that Bonnie sent that day were simply a surprise, especially for Abby, this pseudo-witch and true Muggle
What is the solution? It is quite simple: to relinquish the ancestral territories and seek marriage alliances with the pure-blooded noble wizard families from other magical regions. Initially, this involves forming unions with the wizards of France across the sea, followed by moving eastward to Germany and Austria. Some clan members even crossed the desert to reach the mysterious East
Mr. Green is a somewhat old-fashioned pure-blood wizard. Although he holds some biased views, he also believes that wizards are superior to Muggles, and that pure-blood wizards are superior to half-blood wizards; however, he is not dogmatic in his beliefs
Although my granddaughter is young, her perspectives on many issues are quite innovative, and she often raises some interesting questions
The old man glanced at his wife, who was drinking tea beside him. Catherine pretended not to hear and turned her head to look out the window. The old man felt relieved and cleared his throat: "Do we have a second set of small tables and chairs at home? Stop asking unnecessary questions!"
Then, over the past century, they have gradually returned to England, where they had not intermarried for a long time
The little girl pouted and said: "... ... Children born from incestuous marriages are all fools ... ..."
Upon hearing this, Abby truly admired the ancestors of the Green family, for it is said that the bolder the person, the greater the yield of the land; it is not the inability to achieve that is feared, but rather the lack of imagination. Such admiration is indeed warranted.
Mr. Green, with a stern expression, stated: "We pure-blood wizards have an undeniable responsibility for the inheritance of magic"
This book has been the most helpful for Abby, as it contains extremely simple spell pronunciations, introductory knowledge of magic, and teaches children how to read magic books using simple words. Moreover, the book takes into account that children may have limited literacy, so when they encounter unfamiliar words, they can click for explanations and pronunciations (very similar to a Wenquxing). The only regret for Abby is that these are not English-Chinese translations, but she is still very pleased.

It seems that I have finally found a staircase leading to Mr. Green's enormous study
If everyone were to marry Muggles, the wizarding world would cease to exist, and all wizarding organizations would collapse. However, marriages among pure-blood wizards can prevent this issue; even if the children born may not necessarily possess great magical power, the occurrence of "squibs" would be minimized. This would ensure the long-term stability and peace of the wizarding world.
Did your children fall asleep listening to Mao Zedong's quotations when they were young
Let us start reading again
As for the Green family, after much contemplation, the pessimistic patriarch devised a compromise that would ensure marriages among pure-blood wizards while avoiding incestuous unions
Originally, a thousand years ago, there was nothing wrong with cousins marrying each other. However, it so happened that a patriarch of the Green family had a Muggle friend three to four hundred years ago, who was a doctor and an anthropologist. He solemnly explained to the patriarch the dangers of consanguineous marriages, such as the possibility of giving birth to deformed offspring, individuals with missing limbs, intellectually disabled individuals, and, with a bit of carelessness, even those with mental illnesses or violent tendencies who might wield knives and harm others.
However, a sword has two edges, and issues have two sides. Another problem is the old issue mentioned earlier; there are only a few pure-blood families. As they intermarry, it ultimately leads to consanguinity, resulting in children who, although possessing magical abilities, are foolish to the point of being mentally unstable.
In the process of teaching his granddaughter, he discovered an unprecedented joy in teaching, which is debate
"Are those the ones used by young Master Edward back then?" The master, Boni, appeared exceptionally excited, nearly tearing the small tea pouch apart, his face flushed.
To this end, the entire Green family, under the leadership of the patriarch, began to study this issue and eventually produced two reports several years later—one titled "Born Noble: The Genealogy of Wizards," which detailed the intermarriage of pure-blood wizards over the past five hundred years, and the other titled "The Fallacy of Aztec: An Examination of Consanguineous Bloodlines."
These two reports argue two somewhat contradictory issues. One is the theory of Salazar Slytherin, which posits that the continuous interbreeding between wizards and Muggles indeed leads to a dilution of wizarding bloodlines, resulting in a 50% chance of producing a "Squib".
A portion of the families became more agreeable to the second report, thus they began to no longer reject marriages with Muggles, or with outstanding young wizards who have one Muggle parent. Most of the Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, and Hufflepuff families adopted this approach
The Greengrass family is somewhat well-known among wizards in the United Kingdom, primarily due to the numerous chaotic marital relationships within this pure-blood family. Like many pure-blood families, they aspire for their descendants to form strong alliances through pure marriages for generations to come. However, there are only a limited number of pure-blood families in total.
The publishing entities in the wizarding world are truly lacking in creativity, are there any bedtime stories like this?
"Werewolves are people who look like wolves; if you encounter one, you must avoid it, or you will be bitten..." Additionally, "Studying at Hogwarts takes 7 years, and one cannot skip grades..." Or perhaps, "When waving a wand, be sure to hold it tightly, or it might fly away," and so on
"No, no, no," Mr. Green finally had the opportunity to turn the tables, "Perhaps in other families, but not in ours."
These two reports were neither published as books nor circulated publicly; they were merely copied a few times for some historically significant ancient wizard families and for some interested wizards to read and study. However, unexpectedly, this led to two profoundly different yet far-reaching outcomes
Mr. Green stood gently outside Abby's door, hearing his little granddaughter reading in a soft, childlike voice, with the content being extremely simplistic and childlike.
Bonnie bowed and happily went on her way
