Like, even if they can’t read or write, people would think that they are important because they own something very expensive?” It was likely, given that the people during that time had a very low literacy rate. Anyone can be fooled by anything that is shiny. Ethan lowered his hand and scratched the top of his head. He wondered what it was like not to be able to read and write, and be used it against you. He’d have to depend on his wits to survive the dark times, and work around things.

Moving on with his materials, Ethan took out one parchment folded it in half, then folded it again. He did the same thing for the remaining parchments he got. Ethan got his wand and stuck the stack of folded parchments together, “Adhaero.” The older Slytherin grinned as he remembered Xavi. That kid was seriously smart, and was very keen to learn new things. Next one was the decorative paper. Ethan followed the professor’s instructions carefully, and followed suit. “Adhaero.” Stick, “Adhaero” and done!
