Hogwarts: Becoming a god from reselling fresh food

"I'm not saying that there's something wrong with the Sorting Hat's work. That doesn't make sense." Murphy said, "Because everyone actually has many qualities, and when you have to look at him based on one of his qualities, Prejudices arise. And the more prejudices come together, the more they are reinforced.”

Each college is actually a personality information cocoon. Most people have the same personality, so it is easier to maintain a unified understanding of others. Without the hedging of different opinions, prejudice will become bigger and bigger, and students will have their own narrow views repeatedly confirmed by the people around them, and then become a "personalized but paranoid" person.

In short, according to Murphy, the four major houses of Hogwarts classify students based on their personalities, which is artificially creating differences and contradictions.

This is not a problem of Hogwarts itself. In fact, the entire Western society’s practice of “categorizing” people is to create differences, build walls of separation between people, and refuse to communicate, understand, and win-win cooperation. of separatism.

"It is difficult for people to grow beyond their own environment. How can we become sane people in an environment full of prejudice?"

"More than twenty years ago, there was a sad situation in Hogwarts where the entire Slytherin House became a breeding ground for Death Eaters," Murphy said.

Snape's face in the teacher's chair looked as ugly as if someone had stabbed him.

"Are Slytherin students born bad?"

"No!" Murphy said resolutely, "That's just because they were swayed by evil thoughts. They fell into the quagmire of prejudice and mistook lies for the truth, but no one around them could point out their mistakes!"

Having said this, McGonagall and other professors were all frightened, fearing that Murphy would suddenly say something like, "From today on, the college system will be abolished."

But Murphy is not that radical yet. He is only a school director, not the principal, and cannot make such a decision. Moreover, this will inevitably arouse opposition from teachers and students throughout the school.

"The house system has a long history," Murphy said, "and we have to respect the tradition."

"But at the same time, I think it is necessary to make some corrections to the disadvantages it brings."

"Therefore, as a professor of practical classes, I will create more opportunities for exchange and cooperation for students in the four houses in my classes. And as the Hogwarts teaching investigator and school director, I will actively coordinate with the school to provide Let’s create more conditions.”

"This is what the school and I should do. And students, you are the future of the wizarding world. I hope you can get rid of the prejudices in your hearts, become partners with more young wizards, grow together, make progress together, and become the best of myself.”

As he spoke, Murphy looked at the boy at the Gryffindor table.

Do you understand, Harry?

…

After the dinner, the students were taken back to the lounges of their respective colleges to sleep by their seniors.

Murphy was invited to the principal's office.

This is his first time here.

Fox was watching him from the birdstand by the window.

Murphy also looked at this magical creature curiously.

Phoenix, this thing is rare in the outside world.

Murphy has long been envious of its ability to resurrect from the ashes. If he could transform into a Phoenix Animagus, would his cancers and the like be easily solved?

Death, what are you afraid of?

The worst thing is to be reborn.

But in fact, the research on the magical Animagus has not yet been completed. The only successful individual is himself. He still achieved it due to the concurrence of various accidental factors. It is still unclear whether it can be reproduced.

Rather than directly transforming into a phoenix, it might be more useful to study its rebirth mechanism.

One person and one bird stared at each other for a long time, and Murphy suddenly had an idea. Could this bird be like his crow, and be able to share the senses with Dumbledore?

With great difficulty, Murphy suppressed the thought of plucking one of its feathers or giving Fox some blood, and turned his head to admire the exquisite devices placed in various corners.

After a while, Dumbledore came in.

The two had met before, but since the welcome dinner was about to begin, they did not have an in-depth conversation. This was their first private meeting.

"Professor Dumbledore." Murphy bowed slightly, "Sorry, I made such a statement without your permission."

Although Murphy did not put forward any specific decision-making opinions in the end, questioning the school's system in front of the principal is already embarrassing enough.

Dumbledore didn't get angry on the spot and let him finish what he said. It was due to his restraint. No matter what Murphy thought, at least he had to say this in the scene.

"You are too polite, Murphy. As the school director, you have the right to do this." Dumbledore said gently. As he spoke, he invited Murphy to sit across from the principal's table. "Would you like something to drink? ?”

"no thank you."

Dumbledore sat down in his seat, "And, thanks to this, we have heard some real insights."

"Insight? You must be speaking ironically."

"No, of course not."

"So, you agree with my remarks about the branching?"

Murphy's four-color vision has been watching Dumbledore's expression. He was curious as to whether this principal, who could never be a simple and good man, had a bottomless city or a true heart.

"Yes, at least I agree that there should be more communication and cooperation between colleges."

Murphy frowned, "If you have seen the shortcomings of the sorting, why didn't you make some changes?"

"Change..." Dumbledore nodded lightly, "Yes, maybe I can make some changes. However, I am already an old antique over a hundred years old. I have become accustomed to too many things and have lost the youth. of keenness.”

"The sorting system may not be perfect, but it also has some benefits, doesn't it? For example, it can make students more happy when they are with similar people, and it can better develop certain characteristics of them."

“Change may be for the better, but it may also mean getting worse.”

"Perhaps I have lost my ambition to strive for excellence, and my ability to judge good and bad has always been an area that I am not good at. For me, a more perfect thing often means that it is more suitable for the current environment, and when It may become more vulnerable when external conditions change."

this……

No matter how you put it, it's not unreasonable.

If you look at the evolution of life on Earth, you will know that the kings of the current version are often the first to die in the next version.

Moreover, when Voldemort was powerful, Slytherin College was indeed becoming a training base for Death Eaters, but from a dialectical point of view, the other three colleges did not join in the same trend, right?

If there were no sorting houses, how could we know that the entire Hogwarts would not be contaminated?

It is indeed not unreasonable.

However, this is too passive.

"Professor, your knowledge and experience are far better than mine. I don't have your wisdom to see into the past and the future. But if we don't make changes because we are afraid of making mistakes, then won't we always be unable to make progress?"

“Making things better now may make us passive in the future.”

"But, professor, we live in the present."
