Chapter 2314 (1/2)
After that, it was business as usual.
Harry quickly moved his mind away from the incongruous divination class and devoted himself to Quidditch training. Because he was mixed up by Ellie in his first year, he was not selected into the Quidditch team by Professor McGonagall. But in the next year, he joined Quidditch's team step by step. Of course, Harry was tied with Malfoy.
But none of this has anything to do with Ellie.
In fact, she's talking to Dumbledore about another school issue.
That's security.
So
”I don't know if I should approve of you, Miss Ellie.”
Dumbledore looks at the crystal ball in front of him with a complicated look. This is Ellie's latest magic ”omnipotent”. In short, she locks these incantations into the crystal ball, and then installs these crystal balls in the right position, so that she can take pictures of what is happening there like a surveillance camera.
”It may make our students uncomfortable.”
”I don't think that's a problem, headmaster Dumbledore.”
For Dumbledore's statement, Ellie didn't care at all.
”I don't plan to install these things in toilets, bathrooms or dormitories, but I think students in Hogwarts must behave like a normal wizard in public. I don't care whether they play chicken or duck in their private space, but they should follow the rules in public Isn't that why rules and laws are set up? ”
”But we should trust the students...”
”If you can really do what you say, don't watch Harry Potter secretly like a voyeur.”
Ellie went straight back, which made Dumbledore speechless for a while. At last, he sighed softly.
”Miss Ellie, you seem to hate me.”
Why do you want to play the emotional card? You think I'm Harry, that fool?
”Not only do I hate you, strictly speaking, I hate all witches.”
Ellie didn't mean to deny it at all.
”In my opinion, the wizard is the parasite of human civilization. You parasitize human beings, but you look down on ordinary people and think you are great. But your life and death are not worth mentioning to human beings at all. Even if Voldemort had happened, the witches didn't change anything Frankly speaking, I'm really disappointed in the magic world. All the witches here, old and young, are just like you, exuding a sense of aging. ”
”Ha ha...”
Hearing Ellie's merciless reply, Dumbledore laughed and sat back in his chair.
”I see what you mean, Miss Ellie. But believe me, I know what's wrong in the magic world, but it's not overnight that we want to solve these problems... ”
”Ah, I understand, petty bourgeois socialism. On the one hand, he hopes to join the ranks of the bourgeoisie; on the other hand, he is afraid of falling into the proletarian situation. On the one hand, they hope to participate in a leadership of public affairs to protect their own interests; on the other hand, they are afraid that the untimely confrontations will offend the rulers. ”
Here, Ellie crossed her hands and squinted at Dumbledore. Dumbledore, on the other hand, scratched his head as if confused.
”I don't quite understand you, Miss Ellie.”
”Although I don't like Voldemort's goal, I admire his action style. No matter what his purpose is, at least he has started to do it. And headmaster Dumbledore, you are not as clear as your enemies in this respect Although I don't think it's useful to say that. ”
Speaking of this, Ellie glanced at Dumbledore again and drew back her eyes.
To be honest, Ellie doesn't think much of Dumbledore. Because he is only a conservative after all, full of bourgeois weakness and compromise. Voldemort was so noisy at the beginning, Dumbledore can take advantage of it to completely suppress the status and power of pure blood witches in the magic world, and unite most Muggle family witches to overthrow the class of pure blood witches. But he didn't do anything in the end, which made Ellie despise the most.
To put it bluntly, Dumbledore did nothing because he was afraid of causing turmoil in the whole British magic world. Originally, after Voldemort's defeat at that time, most of the dignified celebrities in the magic circle either died or could not be seen. This is Dumbledore's best chance as a beacon of the British magic world.
But what did he do?
He didn't do anything. He didn't even set up a team in Hogwarts to follow his will. Of course, as an old-fashioned wizard without ideological transformation, Ellie didn't expect him to understand the truth of class struggle. Perhaps in Dumbledore's narrow values, he still regards this war as a war between ”bad Wizard” Voldemort and other good wizards oppressed by ”bad Wizard”.He didn't see that the reason why Voldemort would make trouble, in the final analysis, was the class struggle between pure blood and mixed blood, or the naked oppressive behavior of one class oppressing another class. This is an inevitable part of historical progress. Dumbledore hopes for the self-healing of the wizarding society rather than comprehensive reform, which eventually leads to the present situation.
If Dumbledore could use this opportunity to criticize the theory of blood lineage after Voldemort's end at that time, draw in a large number of mixed blood witches and express his opposition and reform to the social rule of pure blood witches, he would not have half a helping hand when Voldemort came back eleven years later.
In the final analysis, Dumbledore is still a weak bourgeois compromise, and the weakness and compromise of the bourgeoisie can be seen clearly in him. More importantly, he knew that Voldemort would come back to life sooner or later, but he still let it go and pinned all his hopes on a savior.
In the final analysis, it's no different from eliminating the ”bad king” and then hoping that the prince can become a ”good king” to lead their people to live a happy and stable life. It can be said that from the beginning to the end, Dumbledore probably didn't want to overthrow the whole system and let the king disappear completely
”Come on, it's no use telling you this. I'm just here to ask you whether you want to install it or not? These crystal balls can be used as lamps to be inlaid on the wall. Once something happens, we can know the real situation quickly, and we don't need some troublesome spells such as truth spitting agent or divination... ”
”This...”
”Dong Dong Dong!”
Just as Dumbledore hesitated, there was a sudden knock on the door, and then a teacher rushed in.
”Professor Dumbledore, please come here. Something's wrong!”
Hearing this, Dumbledore got up quickly, and Ellie left the headmaster's office behind him - in fact, she had guessed what had happened.
