In the Harry Potter Without Harry Potter
Chapter 236: What about the moral law in your heart?

Under the same night sky, in the distant and deep sea, Sir Stoker looked at the starry sky overhead with a fanatical expression.

"He bluntly stated his purpose on the first day he found me, he learned from an unknown source about my ancestor's research results on the Maledictus and other blood curses, and wanted to acquire it from me, and needed my help to complete the required steps in which a member of the Stoker family had to participate."

"And in return, he would grant one of my wishes. At first, when I heard his words, I didn't think much of it, because before coming to this tower, I had never seen him nor heard of his name, so how could I believe when a man suddenly came to me out of the blue saying he could grant me a wish."

"The process of the pact had to be done voluntarily by me to make it valid, he was not able to force me with any force or magical means, and perhaps because of this, he showed full patience for my mistrust, asking me to tell him what I wanted the most first, perhaps he could really do it? "

"I didn't have the slightest hope in him, I just got tired of his pestering and said that if he would let me travel to the stars, then I would do it for him."

"He thought I was deliberately looking for an unachievable wish in a perfunctory manner, telling me that as long as I could name a wizard in this world who could do this, then he could do it too, or else he couldn't help me with a wish that had no way to be fulfilled."

"I told him that there are no wizards who can do it, but the muggles can, and threw him the newspaper about the first muggle travelling to space."

"He looked at that newspaper for ten minutes in silence before he left my tower. I didn't meet him for three days straight after that, but when I thought he would have given up after three days, he came back to me again with something else!"

Sir Stoker's eyes seemed to burn, the excitement and exhilaration in them were undisguised.

"He brought a muggle aerospace vessel! A real spaceship that had been piloted by muggles, that had rushed out of the planet we live on and made its way to space!"

"He stood at the top of the tower, alone, with a ship like a mountain floating beside him, and I never thought it could actually appear before my eyes! In that manner, no less!"

Through Sir Stoker's depiction, Jon is also stunned, he can fully imagine how that scene would have been at that time, he never expected, Voldemort actually managed to get a spaceship (rocket) over!

"From that moment on, I knew beyond doubt that if my dream really had a chance of being realized, it could only be done by that man before me!"

"He told me that it was just a deposit, and as long as I agreed to do him this favour, then the ship could stay, but if I wanted to actually travel to the stars in it, I would have to wait until he accomplished his purpose when he would let the muggles who could pilot the ship, take me anywhere it could reach!"

Sir Stoker looked at Jon as he gradually calmed down, his voice and gaze beginning to regain their composure.

"With such temptation right in front of me, how can I possibly refuse to agree to his conditions? I fulfilled his request, made this pact with him, and willingly let him strip all memories of this matter in order not to leak it, and asked him to hide it under that stone slab."

Jon also gradually regained his bearings after this shocking information, took a deep breath and continued his words.

"But what you and the dark lord did not expect was that you, who had lost your memory about this matter actually found this stone slab again by yourself and tried every possible way to unlock the secrets on it, and then you met me."

Sir Stoker looked at Jon with a sincere face.

"Give that pact back to me, Jon Green. We've shared a good talk, and I can see that you're unhappy with the malformed development of the magical world today. The outdated mindset of wizards needs a revolution, and someone has to break their arrogance and conceit, to open their blinded eyes to recognize the world."

"As long as that ship is present, we have such a possibility! As long as one wizard actually reaches that place called space, then everyone in the magical world will know how vast this starry sky above our heads is, and how wonderful the world we are in is!"

"Give me the pact, the pact I made with that man still stands, and it will be the beginning of a new era, the one you and I both want to see!"

Jon looked at him and did not open his mouth to give a reply at first, his gaze full of confusion and incomprehension.

"Perhaps when he first found you, you didn't know who he is or what kind of man this man really is, but Sir, you just got a memory back and didn't forget what we had talked about, right?"

"I told you what that dark lord had done in the magical world, how he used bloodlines to divide the classes between wizards, turned people into slaves, and became a dictator. You told me that you hated classifying people by bloodline and that you loathed oppression no matter what pretext was used to do it, those were your words. And then what, what are you doing now? You know what he did, and you want to help him like this?"

In the face of Jon's questioning, Sir Stoker's face clearly showed a flash of shame, but such emotions did not stay long, and he became a little broken, even hysterical.

"All things in the world have a weight of their own, a part of the wizards enslaved and the opening of the horizons obscured by narrow-mindedness for all wizards, if it comes to a situation where one has to choose between the two, then the former must eventually give way to the latter!"

"Even the development of Muggle society follows this code, only if the vision is opened and the mind is liberated, then it will promote changes in the system and society in general! I believe that the magical world will not violate this pattern, I am making the right choice, for the sake of the future of all wizards!"

Jon's gaze at him changed to one of pity.

"Stop deceiving yourself and making excuses for what you are doing against your heart, Sir, in fact, you are aware that you are doing something wrong, but the desire for the stars has taken all of your being, you claimed that the wizards are blinded by magic, but you yourself only see this starry sky above our heads?"

"If you really know the muggle philosophy a little more deeply, then you should have heard of this saying.

[Two things awe me most, the starry sky above me and the moral law within me]

You are only looking at the starry sky, but what about the moral law in your heart!"
