After living in Diagon Alley for a week, although the work here was hard, Jon had not been in trouble for the time being as he had originally suspected.

The potion shop received many customers every day, but the vast majority of mixed-blood and pure-blood people would not even look at him and regarded him as nothing. A few people already had disgust on their faces after entering the door. Sometimes, Aikemo would take the initiative to ask him to go to the cellar to escape.

After all, Ikemo is a member of the Order of the Phoenix. Jon can feel that he is very sympathetic to the situation of the "Mudblood", but because this is in a bustling wizard street like Diagon Alley, he has no way to express his sympathy to "Mudblood" openly. Smith" is treated and respected as a normal person, and can only give him some secret care in his daily life.

For example, the bed Jon is sleeping on now at least has bedding, and the food he normally eats is the same as Acmo. When he senses that a wizard who has obvious ill intentions towards the "Mudblood" enters the store, Acmo will Help him out in a subtle way.

In fact, Jon thought about leaving the potion shop several times and checking out other shops in Diagon Alley, but after much hesitation, he chose to give up.

After the end of July, there is only one month left before the new semester starts. The number of tourists in Diagon Alley is increasing every day. Many of them are parents who bring their children to buy textbooks and learning supplies for the new semester. .

With his current identity, it was impossible for him to walk openly on the streets of Diagon Alley unless he stole a piece of hair from another wizard and turned into an adult wizard and went out with a wand.

But the risk was too great. He was not sure of the identity of the wizard he had become. If he met someone he knew, the secret would be revealed easily.

In the end, Jon didn't try to take the risk. His original purpose of going out was just to browse the surrounding shops to see if there were any "mudbloods" like him who were sent here for forced labor during the summer vacation. There were no other details. Important things.

Just today, when Jon was cleaning the windows as usual after opening the store door in Aikemo, a pair of father and son with light blond hair and well-dressed were heading towards the potion store.

They didn't seem to notice Jon, and the conversation between them didn't turn down.

"Not only did he accept an appointment from the Ministry of Magic and become the owner of the Leaky Cauldron, his antique shop in Knockturn Alley still collects items. This old guy was really lucky. The previous owner of the Leaky Cauldron was Old Tom, but he moved to France with his family five years ago. Well, I heard that he could not accept the current changes in the wizarding world and did not have the courage to resist. In the end, this position was won by Borgin. He seemed to be in That gentleman has a lot of connections around him.”

"But you still have to bow your head when he sees dad!"

"We pure-blooded ones are the noblest in the world. Draco, even if he is related to us, so what? He is just a half-blood bastard."

When they opened the door and prepared to enter the store, the father and son ended the conversation, especially when he said "half-blood bastard", the blond middle-aged wizard obviously deliberately lowered his voice.

After living here for a week, Jon still learned some common sense in the current magical world.

Under Voldemort's rule, the status of mixed-blood wizards was naturally not as low as that of Muggle wizards. After all, if he really only combined the power of pure-blood wizards, it would be almost impossible for him to stabilize the rule of the magic world.

If classes are divided by blood, then he must also win over the largest number of mixed-race wizards in the magic world, and at least give them an equal status.

Therefore, the current classes in the entire magical world are clear-pure blood \u003e mixed blood \u003e mudblood. This system can actually be said to be a replica of the four social classes during the slave society of ancient Rome.

Purebloods are nobles and knights, half-bloods are citizens, and mudbloods are slaves.

Although the status of mixed-bloods is not as good as that of pure-bloods, they still have human rights. The "half-blood bastard" mentioned by the middle-aged wizard just now is actually an insulting term used by pure-bloods for mixed-bloods. It is also strictly prohibited in today's magic world. It's as bad as calling Muggle wizards "Mudbloods" in normal magical society in the original book.

Many of the shopkeepers in the shops in Diagon Alley are of mixed race, so no matter how arrogant and wanton the middle-aged wizard is, he does not dare to say the name "half-blood bastard" openly.

Jon heard the middle-aged wizard call the boy next to him who was about the same age as himself, and combined with their appearance, he certainly guessed who these two people were.

Lucius Malfoy and Draco Malfoy were pure-blooded people with good roots, and they were strong supporters who had stood with Voldemort since the beginning of his rebellion.

He now serves as the Chief of Staff of the Auror Command in the Ministry of Magic, and seems to be highly regarded by Voldemort.

But Jon, who has read the original work, knows that the Malfoy family's loyalty to Voldemort is not absolute. They may support a certain side, but their main purpose is to seek benefits for their family.

Watching them enter the potion shop, Jon continued to wipe the glass of the outside window in silence.

His shabby linen robe looked out of place with the adults and children wearing clean robes on the street, as if they were from two different worlds, but he did not pay attention to this, but observed with the corner of his eye. Watch the movements of Malfoy and his son after entering the store.

Aikemo has a very enthusiastic attitude towards them. Even if they are mixed-race, they are citizens, but their status is far different from the privileged "nobles".

At a young age, Draco also learned that arrogant attitude from his father. When he glanced at the potions on the shelves, his eyes clearly showed disgust.

They didn't stay in the store long, but directly told Aikemo what they needed, then bought two bottles of potions that looked like enhancement pills, and walked out again within two minutes.

This time Jon was not as lucky as before. When Draco came out of the shop, he turned around and noticed Jon who was washing the rag, and his already arrogant face suddenly showed A look of disgust.

"I actually met a mudblood."

Lucius heard what he said and looked at Jon, his brows frowning obviously.

"Did you enter the castle in the same year?"

"Yes, I have some impressions of this little bug. I have seen him several times in the castle. When Professor Crouch was punishing those daring Mudbloods, he was frightened and cried on the spot."

Regarding the unpleasant names in their mouths, Jon's face did not change at all. He still wiped the window without saying a word, and listened very carefully to what Draco said.

"The principal is too kind to these mudbloods. Last semester, he actually found these bugs holding meetings and organizations in the castle."
