63. You are lucky
In the ceremonial hall, Oluolin delivered a speech in a cold tone.
"Maybe some of you will think that I am expressing dissatisfaction with what happened yesterday, and then think that I am making a fuss out of a molehill.
But the reason why I summoned you actually has nothing to do with this matter, and it's not right. It may have something to do with it, but at least it doesn't have much to do with it.
After all, when I first went to school, Slytherin was once at the bottom, even hundreds of points behind the previous one. It was much more dangerous than your current situation, but it finally won the House Cup at the end of the school year. Yes, but still Slytherin.
The semester has just started, and you still have plenty of time to add points to the academy, so you don’t have to feel bad about being temporarily behind in the academy points.
I summoned you today mainly because I want to talk to you about some other things. "
Olorin's words made several young wizards in the audience relax, as long as they were not blamed.
“Before I begin, I want to say that you are all lucky to be sitting here.
As for why I am lucky, let me tell you a few numbers first. "
As he spoke, O'Loughlin picked up a piece of chalk and wrote a series of numbers on the blackboard behind him——
[5393], [6095 million], [54 billion], [982], [23], [3], [1472], [567], [7.4 million], [792], [523], [489]
There doesn't seem to be any particular pattern to these numbers.
Putting down his hands, Oluolin did not interact with the little wizards like he did in the consulting room. He said directly:
“Maybe you don’t know what these numbers mean, but it doesn’t matter, I will explain them one by one next.
"First of all, [5393], don't ask me where this number comes from. You just need to know that it represents the total number of wizards currently under the jurisdiction of the British Ministry of Magic. It does not include those under 11 years old who have not yet reached school age but have magical talents. Children, nor Squibs.
Secondly, [6095 million], this number represents the total population of the United Kingdom and Ireland, including Muggles and wizards.
These two numbers are superimposed. I wonder if you have any ideas? "
Oluolin didn't give the little wizards time to think, and continued:
"If you include those children who have not yet reached school age, almost one out of every [-] people will have magical talent.
Although this conclusion is not particularly accurate, it already allows us to speculate a little bit.
Does anyone know how many people there are in the world? "
"54 billion!"
In the corner, a sixth-grade wizard raised his hands and shouted. He looked around excitedly, wanting to show off his quick thinking, but no one paid attention to him. The people on his left and right seemed to be thinking about something, further away. He couldn't see clearly.
"Yes, that's 54 billion. This means that there are approximately 54 people in the world with magical talents. This is a very simple arithmetic problem.
So how many people are there in the same age group as you, that is, between the ages of 11 and 18, who have magical talents?
If you have counted when school started, you will know that there are a total of 982 students in Hogwarts. If we include some children who were unable to come to school for various reasons, we will count them as 1000.
So we can draw a conclusion that for almost every 6 people, there is one of your peers.
In other words, there are about 9 people around the world who are similar in age to you and also have magical talents.
So, some people may ask, do these 9 people have the same learning conditions as you?
The answer is of course no.
As far as I know, there are a total of 23 open-enrollment magic schools in the world, excluding the 10 magic schools in the same country that only admit locals, there are 13 more.
There are only three magic schools in Europe, namely Hogwarts, Beauxbatons, and Durmstrang.
As I mentioned just now, the number of current students at Hogwarts is 1472 at Beauxbatons and 567 at Durmstrang at the other two schools.
Except for Hogwarts, which only admits people with magical talents born in Britain and Ireland, the other two schools are open to all of Europe, but Durmstrang only admits pure-bloods.
So an interesting question arises. Are there only about 3000 students in Europe?
Of course not. The total population of Europe is 7.4 million. Using the calculation method I just calculated, it can be concluded that there are about 12000 people of your age in Europe who have magical talents.
So where did the remaining 9000 children go?
Some of them will be discovered by wizards who have graduated from the three major schools and are traveling around the world, and will be accepted as apprentices. These people are also lucky, at least they can systematically learn some magic knowledge.
Some people follow their elders to learn some magic passed down by their families, but unless they are from very powerful ancient families, most people can only learn some magic that you can see in books, but these people It can also be called lucky, at least they rarely encounter life-threatening danger.
It is unimaginable how miserable life would be if a wanted dark wizard discovered that he had magical talent.
You can understand simply by giving a number. Every year in the Black Forest of Albania alone, no less than a thousand people die from magic accidents, and most of these 1000 people are wizard apprentices.
These wizard apprentices may only be able to learn one or a few not very practical magics in their lifetime, and these few magics have to be exchanged for their own lives, so it is not true that they are actually experimental consumables for the dark wizards. Too much.
Finally, there are some people who do not know that they have magical talents at all. They just attribute some of the disasters that happen around them due to the riots of their own magical power to supernatural events, and live in isolation out of fear until they die. "
In the audience, the young wizards whispered to each other. They had never considered what wizard life was like outside of the UK.
In their imagination, even if people with magical talents cannot live a life of superiority, they should at least have enough food and clothing. After all, with just a Disembodiment Charm, they can walk into a Muggle's house and get things.
Many people are even thinking about whether they can become kings and hegemons if they go to Albania or other places without magic schools after graduation.
On the stage, Oluolin was still talking:
"That's why I say you are all lucky because you can come to Hogwarts to learn magic. This is the learning environment that many people dream of having.
But do you think those who don’t have this environment are weak? "
"Maybe some of you will think that I am expressing dissatisfaction with what happened yesterday, and then think that I am making a fuss out of a molehill.
But the reason why I summoned you actually has nothing to do with this matter, and it's not right. It may have something to do with it, but at least it doesn't have much to do with it.
