All through the study of Potions, his twins were on his mind. What else was on his mind was that he hoped that the twins, now almost six, could understand their first correspondence from him.
Hopefully, they will grow up with those letters as the norm.
But what was also on his mind was what Harry did not include in the letters. There were two other options. The first is to similar to pureblood supremacy over muggles, and that is as a colonizer. To exploit those that are less advanced than them. The victims will only have faith that it was all worth it by using any infrastructure that the colonizers introduce.
If his twins picked that path, they would be leading a new age of muggle suppression under the might of magic.
The second option Harry definitely did not want them to do, as it is too close to what their other father, Voldemort, does. And that is a genocide leader. That is to kill off most of a minority, like the muggleborns or blood traitors. The victims will only have faith that it was all worth it by being the chosen people. That they survived the genocide because they were chosen to.
Harry did not want his twins to follow either option. True, they both produced faith, and faith is what binds groups together. But Harry did not think that it would be worth it.
The last option for them would be to lead wars. The downside of wars are obvious, but the faith component of them is unification; unification around a path. The unification could be of rebels unifying against a tyrant, or the unification could be the unification of an empire expanding. In either case, the faith component of wars is that the benefits of unification outweigh the losses in war.
Harry hoped that war does not become a viable option for them; for there to be something to unify about that faithfully should make the war worthwhile.
Harry drifts off dreaming, thinking up other possible career paths for the twins.
"Gerrymanders" Harry mumbles. "If districts are gerrymandered so that some districts have like only a thousand electors, while other districts have like millions of electors, that exploits the under-represented, but there is faith in the system.
Maybe I can do that one myself."
Harry turned to Draco, who is in the middle of discovering one of Snape's surprises "...we can't add newt's eye, that will ruin the potion. This book says we need to add cricket legs. That would have caused our potion to smoke."
"Hey Draco, is there gerrymandering in the wizarding world?" asked Harry.
"What, yeah, we rewrite districts all the time to"... here Draco looked at Hermione "...reset the system."
"Perfect. Gerrymandering sounds like such a fun thing to do. Writing some districts to have representatives for a few hundred thousand, while re-writing other districts to have representatives for a few million. "
"Whoa, we don't' have those numbers in the wizarding world. Here, it is a few hundred get a representative, while a few thousand get a representative."
"Who does the gerrymandering, Draco."
"Actually, the Longbottoms, Malfoys, and you, the Potters, commonly fight over district redistribution. Mind you, gerrymandering is usually not seen favorably from the general population."
"They just need faith in the system" repeated Harry.
It is getting late, and Harry and the rest of the gang pack up and get ready for bed.
