The Mightiest Badger at Hogwarts

"I actually haven't done much work in this area." Beckman lowered his voice and whispered, "If I had to say it, I just let them look at your portrait every morning, lunch and dinner. Just a small thank you.”

Link nodded.

The portrait Beckmann was referring to had been seen before when he visited Durmstrang Hall.

To be honest, although the person in the portrait and Link himself can be seen to be the same person, the difference is really quite big.

Mainly because the painters hired by Durmstrang performed Durmstrang's artistic processing on it, painting him into a tiger-backed man who was even stronger than Krum.

But this method alone cannot make students feel loyal.

After all, this is the time when young people are hungry and growing fast. It would be nice if you let them hold back their hunger and thank someone before eating, so as not to arouse their bad feelings.

Seeing that Link understood, Beckman continued:

"So, this kind of loyalty is very rare, because it comes from their own spontaneity, without much external guidance."

Link waved his hand and said:

"I can feel this, and you don't need to emphasize it again. What I'm really curious about is how this is achieved."

"It's simple, because in their eyes, you are on the same side as them."

Beckman smiled and said, "You know, Durmstrang's students are mainly from various pure-blood and mixed-blood wizard families in Europe, and you have reorganized Hogwarts and the Ministry of Magic in the United States in the past few years, and also brought After the French Ministry of Magic defeated the French Ministry of Magic and suppressed Beauxbatons at the International Federation of Wizards meeting, it has won the recognition of most people in this group. In other words, they have regarded you as their representative. Sexy person!

Although you have not expressed your own ideas and thoughts, they still want to get close to you and are eager to follow you.

Because they believe that you can bring them more glory and practical benefits! "

As soon as he said this, Link took a deep breath and his eyes became more clear.

He already understood the reason.

Durmstrang was originally an extremely conservative school with some pure-blood supremacism.

This is also the reason why over the past few hundred years, they have adhered to the concept of not enrolling wizards of pure Muggle descent.

This situation was not changed until the emergence of the 'rebellious' Grindelwald.

Thanks to the heavy damage Grindelwald brought to the wizarding world, Durmstrang was directly changed from conservatism to openness by the International Federation of Wizards.

The vast majority of these students also harbor hatred for Grindelwald.

Some people even feel that Durmstrang must bear some responsibility for the appearance of Grindelwald and the sins he caused, and therefore feel guilty.

This is Karkaroff's greatest work achievement.

The reason why the "International Federation of Wizards" appointed him as the principal of Durmstrang is because he betrayed so many companions during the Death Eater cleanup campaign that he had no way out and became the most obedient dog. .

But now, with the death of Karkaroff and the weakening of the suppression of the International Federation of Wizards, the conservative bloodline hidden in Durmstrang's bones has begun to revive.

The students here and even the parents of the students.

Perhaps after so many years of education from the International Confederation of Wizards, they would not be as extreme in their belief in pure-blood supremacy as the Death Eaters in the past.

But they must now agree that pure-blood and mixed-blood wizards are generally better than pure Muggle-blood wizards. At the same time, wizards who have awakened magical power have completely different views on status and identity than ordinary Muggles.

It has nothing to do with their brain structure or their educational background.

But because of their class.

They are originally vested interests in the blood class theory. Except for a few extremists, it is naturally impossible for most people to betray their own class.

And now.

They are still craving for more pure and huge benefits.

Then Link becomes their best choice to follow.

Because Link has already proven his strength with actual actions. This strength not only refers to Link's own strength, but also represents the Foley family, the Ministry of Magic of the Republic of China, and even Hogwart that Link represents behind him. tz.

If I had to describe it, Link is actually a powerful prince in the magical world now.

Of course, the most critical thing is that Link's thoughts are not extreme yet.

Compared with Grindelwald and Voldemort in the past, Link is still under the jurisdiction of the Secrecy Act and follows the same path followed by generations of wizard rulers. He does not deviate from the norm, nor does he cause trouble for others from time to time. .

This may be boring and old-fashioned, but it's the best way to go.

After all, current mixed-blood and pure-blood wizards are already frightened by Grindelwald and Voldemort.

In this way, Link naturally became their new and best leader to pursue.

When he thought of this, Link's expression was a little weird.

He swore that he had never wanted to rule the magical world, nor had he ever wanted to be the leader of blood theory to pursue some greater interests.

His original purpose was just to destroy Voldemort so that life could go on smoothly.

But now, things have inexplicably developed to what they are now.

This made him a little confused as to what to say.

Beckman on the side saw Link's expression changing continuously and finally returning to calm, and he understood that Link had understood the meaning of his words.

He sighed and said tentatively:

"Link, can you stay in Durmstrang for a few more days? To be honest, the students here have been eager to get close to you for a long time. I dare say you only need to stay here for a few days, and there is nothing else to do. , it will make the students’ prestige towards you even higher.”

This is also very easy to understand.

What Durmstrang students believe in is that the strongest comes first.

The leader they imagined was also powerful, serious, even majestic and terrifying.

So Link didn't need to engage in any messy activities to get close to those students.

Distance produces beauty.

Getting too close would destroy the illusions in the minds of Durmstrang students.

Link knew this very well.

The only thing he is struggling with now is whether to formally gather Durmstrang's power.

These students represent not only themselves, but also the families behind them.

This is a powerful force.

If you don't master it well, it may push Link to do something he doesn't want to do.

It's just that... at least they are useful for now...

Link pinched his eyebrows hard.

In fact, recently, Link has been feeling a strange soreness there.

It was as if someone was holding a dagger and slowly stabbing him between the eyebrows.

Link was actually not unfamiliar with this feeling.

This is a precognitive effect brought about by a surge in mental power.

The effect is very inconsistent, but sometimes it can be useful.

And often when this feeling occurs, it means something bad is happening.

This gave Link a rather strong sense of crisis.

Compared with this sense of crisis, the possible consequences of accepting the followers of the forces behind the Durmstrang students are not a big deal.

After all, that is only something that may happen in the future.

And the current sense of crisis is real.

Link needs more power now!

Thinking this, Link raised the corners of his mouth slightly and nodded towards Beckman.

"You agreed? That's great! Link, you have no idea how wise your decision was!"

Gu 弖</span>Beckman almost screamed.

He waved his arms and kept announcing to the surrounding students and professors the decision Link had just made.

This is of great significance to everyone.

Because Link is willing to stay in Durmstrang temporarily, it means that he is willing to accept the pure-blood and mixed-blood wizard families represented by the students of Durmstrang!

This is exactly what everyone wants!

Everyone was excited for a while.

Cheers and applause almost echoed throughout the entire underground square.

But among the excited crowd, Link set his sights in the direction of Hogwarts.

His brows furrowed slightly, and there was a hint of worry in his eyes.

……

at the same time.

In the underground office of Hogwarts.

Snape was sitting alone in front of the workbench, his expression dull, but his eyes were bloodshot.

In front of him was the 'space anchor' sent by Harry earlier.

Snape had been studying it throughout the past evening.

This kind of research is aimless.

Because even Snape didn't know what he wanted.

Maybe you want to find out that the space anchor in your hand is fake and that this is a prank from beginning to end?

Or maybe he wanted to find out who was behind all this, so that he could be beaten up and beaten up by the guy who had tricked Harry into making mistakes?

Snape didn't know.

He found nothing either.

The spatial anchor point is still perfectly placed there.

The only thing Snape knew about it was that it was a space-breaking device in a space teleportation device. Placing it in the Hogwarts principal's office could break the Hogwarts anti-Apparition spell (improved version). ) to teleport some people in.

Whoever that might be.

Harry must be making a huge mistake.

Since the research on the 'space anchor point' has yielded nothing, the problem before Snape has become the most primitive tangle again.

Do you want to help Harry?

A disgusting smell of barbecue was spreading from the underground office.

The smells came from the Hogwarts kitchens.

Hogwarts Castle does not have as advanced a fresh air system as Durmstrang.

The kitchen is located underground like Snape's office, sharing the same ventilation system and exhaust ducts, so the smell from the kitchen will naturally flow into Snape's office.

This is a very bad experience.

The aroma of food that may originally smell pretty good often becomes disgusting after being 'smoked' by the flue.

But the appearance of these smells also means that it is now noon.

"call--"

Snape let out a long sigh.

He grabbed his hair hard, and the crimson in his eyes had spread to the swollen bags under his eyes.

To be honest, after teaching at Hogwarts for more than ten years, he actually has feelings for Hogwarts.

Although the students were mischievous, they would even prank him sometimes.

But at least Snape didn't have to think too much when he was with them, eliminating the intrigues when facing Dumbledore and Voldemort.

This is also a rare moment for him to relax.

What's more, Hogwarts now belongs to Link to a certain extent.

And he and Link have such a close relationship.

Therefore, whenever someone else comes and asks him to stuff the 'space anchor' into the principal's office, he will refuse without hesitation.

By the way, the man was captured again, beaten to death and handed over to Link and Dumbledore.

But the problem now is that the person who made that request to him was Harry Potter.

"Pote! He must have lost his mind!"

Snape complained viciously.

He couldn't think of any other possibility.

He even felt that Harry Potter should never realize the consequences of what he did!

Maybe Harry Potter thought it would be a small thing?

With his friendship with Link, he shouldn't be punished too seriously?

But how is this possible?

Snape knew Link and Dumbledore very well.

The two people, the old and the young, have surprisingly consistent judgments and decisions on certain things, which is also the basis for them to become allies and unite together.

In their hearts, the place occupied by Hogwarts is simply irreplaceable.

And what Harry Potter is doing now is endangering the entire Hogwarts!

What will Link and Dumbledore do when they find out all this?

It's not hard to guess.

Even if the person who did this was named Harry Potter, even if what Harry Potter did didn't have any serious consequences.

But Link and Dumbledore will still eliminate any hidden dangers without hesitation.

The means represented by 'clearing' include, but are not limited to, directly killing Harry.

These two people can definitely do this kind of thing.

Because Snape had already determined through his investigation of Horcruxes and Voldemort that Harry himself was one of Voldemort's Horcruxes.

The reason why Dumbledore pays so much attention to Harry is precisely because of this.

Harry is like a pig.

When they are fat, they should be killed and eaten.

If everything goes surprisingly well, Dumbledore, the pig farmer, might allow the pig to live a little longer.

But if this pig dared to tear down the house now, Dumbledore wouldn't have any psychological burden on killing him.

It's just...this is something Snape can't accept.

Harry is...Lily's only child!

"Lily...what should I do..."

Snape closed his eyes in pain and kept mumbling.

But at this moment, a pair of seemingly invisible hands put their hands on his shoulders.
