Archdruid of Hogwarts

In Ernie's eyes, Lupine was an outlier in the wizarding world.

Mainly reflected in two aspects: self-discipline and hard work.

The lives of most wizards are slow-paced and focused on enjoyment.

They always place special emphasis on the two concepts of 'freedom' and 'life', and scorn 'hard work', thinking that only incompetent and not smart people need to make up for the gap by being busy.

Ernie believes that from the perspective of purpose, efforts can be divided into high-end and low-end.

Low-end efforts are hard work, for survival, while high-end efforts are struggle, for the realization of self-worth.

The special thing about Lupine is that he goes hand in hand with both.

After wandering for more than ten years, the gap between him and his peers in some common items of life, such as wealth, family, children, etc., he longed for both materially and spiritually...

There is an east wind, but at the same time everything is ready, with explosive growth and amazing performance.

Even if this model cannot last long and will gradually slow down as time goes by, the strength and life wisdom it already possesses are capable of handling many important tasks.

Lupine tempered himself into a true elite.

What about me?

Ernie naturally compared Lupin's deeds and considered his own life path.

This contrast is, of course, a more pragmatic and present-focused one.

The grand and magnificent long-term goals related to the heart universe and the dream universe have already been established.

It can be summed up in two words: longevity!

With his conditions, it seems that he can really pursue it.

But from a more down-to-earth perspective, and from the perspective of him, a person who has traveled through two lives, the concept of 'immortality' still seems very false and empty.

It's like a person with a monthly salary of 1,000 yuan, imaginatively planning a life with a monthly salary of 100 million yuan.

Shouldn't we first look ahead to a monthly salary of over 10,000, and then move to the 100,000 level when we have reached, stabilized, and adapted to it, and so on?

What's more, immortality is also restricted by 'unexpected death'.

In the novel, in order to live forever, many people commit various suicide attempts, but instead die early and violently, and many people do not even survive to a normal age.

The glamorous successful people are certainly enviable, but the piles of corpses lying on the road to success should be even more awe-inspiring.

After all, rigorous mathematics is the most rational and reliable logic. The shocking probabilities are there, and blindly ignoring them is irresponsible to oneself.

Now, Lupine's dazzling success makes Ernie feel that he should take a step back and pursue longevity instead of immortality.

Nick Flamel is at a higher level of longevity, as is Dumbledore, and Newt Scamander is still the same. Climbing by the longevity lines of these celebrities feels more practical and reliable.

After thinking about it this way, he found that it dampened his enthusiasm for taking risks.

The mess of Lilliput.

Mirror of Erised - The semi-mess of Eton Park.

The secret land of Darkwood described by centaurs and unicorns.

Storm Island acquired from the Lawrence family...

There are quite a lot of death-defying projects on his hands right now.

How many years have you traveled through time? Just arrange everything for yourself.

Have you had enough of it, Master? This is a rush to reincarnate.

Therefore, Ernie discovered that this man's thoughts were indeed coming in fits and starts.

Suddenly I feel confident, suddenly I feel intimidated, suddenly I am passionate about dedication, or suddenly I am stubborn, just like aesthetic fatigue, with no certainty.

And it is precisely because of this that the value of ‘persistence’ is revealed.

After understanding this, Ernie was very excited and secretly praised the social animal attribute.

If it weren't for the inertia brought about by his social animal nature, he would probably be living the life of a gentleman now, "playing music and dancing again", right?

Let’s take it as a master first and then talk about it. But he knew in his heart that this thing was not enough, and this was called depravity.

When a person becomes useless, he starts from laziness.

Therefore, in a positive understanding, social animals represent workers, and workers are progressive because they compete with laziness, the greatest enemy of mankind.

"It's great! The environment is different, and DeBuff has become Buff. And it's still the core one. Labor is glorious, and social animals are great!"

Aristocrats don't have weekends off, and neither do social animals. Ernie has both attributes, so naturally he is not very thorough.

In the early morning, Ernie, who was wearing a three-piece retro casual suit with a stand-up collar and many buttons, came out of the school hospital. Feeling a little cold, he pulled out a gold-edged woolen cloak from his waist bag and had the Badger Yard logo embroidered on the back. When it's on your body, it looks very handsome.

Since the magic kitchen was added underground in the secret society activity room, Ernie no longer always carries the big leather bag when he is at school, but wears a multifunctional dragon-skin belt.

The waist bag connected in series on the belt has a total capacity of more than 100L after being blessed with the extension spell. There is also a six-compartment linen bag from Yamaguchi Mountain, which has the magical property of "no matter how large an object is, it only occupies one compartment". Both of them The combination is enough to meet his daily needs.

Yawning, Ernie did not rush back to the dormitory to catch up on his sleep. Instead, he walked past the Fountain Square, through the wooden covered bridge, through the Corona Garden, and strolled all the way to the Quidditch pitch in the open space.

This was the first time that he came to the Quidditch pitch on his own initiative. He had no special intention. He just wanted to take a walk, look around the facility, and have breakfast.

As a result, when he arrived at the field, he found that there were Quidditch players who had arrived earlier than him. They were already training. Judging from the bright red team uniforms, they should be the little lions of Gryffindor.

Sure enough, when he got closer, he saw Harry's figure.

The youngest Quidditch player in a century.

Perhaps because of the Matthew Effect, compared to the original history, the halo on Harry's head is not less effective, and is even more admired by the young wizards.

After all, in the original history, whether it was the Battle of the Philosopher's Stone or the Battle of the Chamber of Secrets, there was no way to reveal the details of the truth.

The deeds are not intuitive and vivid enough. The only way to let the little wizards feel the excellence of Harry and even the Iron Triangle is through the credibility of Hogwarts and Dumbledore's personal prestige.

In addition, they rely on things that adults see as causing trouble, acting as monsters, and disobeying discipline to gain attention.

For example, running around at night, breaking into the forbidden forest, driving a flying car to report to school...

Little wizards who are in the rebellious phase of life find this kind of rule-breaking behavior very creative and cool!

But behind the scenes, there is inevitably a sour sentence: if you repeatedly jump between seeking death and being expelled, sooner or later your luck will run out and you will be finished.

But in this world that has been changed by his time travel, Harry and the others have demonstrated adaptability and spell-casting abilities far beyond their years in their daily frictions, or in the farcical Defense Against the Dark Arts class not long ago. They are all resounding. Dry stuff.

Even if Draco is so arrogant and insists on refusing to admit it, he can't do it without fear or disrespect.

Gu</span>So, today’s original history of Khalibi is not that famous, but its weight is not bad.

Others...

Ernie considers himself a celebrity on campus.

It's just that his red is black and red.

Being rich, willful, spending money to buy everything... makes people envious, jealous, and hateful.

If there was only one rich man on campus, he felt that many young wizards would hate him, and during the schooling period, this would solidify into a subjective perception that would affect his whole life.

Thankfully, there's at least one campus rich guy who's even more disgusting.

Draco Malfoy.

Everything has two sides. From this perspective, the most impressive shortcoming of Gryffindor wizards is recklessness, Ravenclaw is eccentricity, Hufflepuff is stubbornness, and Slytherin is arrogance.

There is no doubt that the most offensive thing is this shortcoming of Slytherin, and Draco interprets this shortcoming vividly. He is arrogant, has a bad mouth, loves to show off, and is always followed by two horse-like accomplices. Within a year, the nickname became famous throughout the school...

Ernie thought it was good to have such a natural potter to draw hatred.

Of course, sometimes you will be offended, annoyed, and want to punch someone.

For example, today.

It was already about nine o'clock in the morning. Ernie had finished his stroll and had a hearty breakfast from the magic kitchen.

The Magic Kitchen is now run by house elf Wang Xiaoyu.

You can tell from the name that it was named after Ernie. He was a famous cooking expert during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty. The reason why Ernie knew this person is because he was the only person in ancient China who had a biography of "The Biography of Chef Wang Xiaoyu" after his death. Famous chef.

House elves are quite popular in this era. They work hard without complaining and can still provide good services despite being mistreated. They can be called a role model among leeks. Even those wizarding families who are already in dire straits will not transfer their house elves.

However, this problem cannot be overcome.

There are now over forty house elves in the MacMillan family.

Considering that Blade's Edge Mountain, which will be completed by the end of the year, and Nagrand, the most critical 'retirement place' in the future, also require the services of house elves, related acquisitions are still in progress.

It's just that I don't want to spend a lot of money anymore, and I have become more picky.

Wang Xiaoyu is a culinary rookie who stands out after subdividing his work.

His professional skills were taught by him many times, and he finally mastered the cooking essentials of Yamaguchi cuisine instead of relying solely on spices.

Now Wang Xiaoyu is not only responsible for the meals at the ancestral home in Yuezhao Valley, but also the dietary guide of the Oak Sanatorium. In addition, he is also the chef of the secret society. Although there are more than a dozen kitchen helpers, the workload is still very heavy.

This is already close to the edge of a sweatshop, but because the target is a foreigner, I don't feel too uneasy.

In addition, he is also actively seeking improvement. In two or three years, when the apprentices brought by Wang Xiaoyu start working as chefs, the work intensity will be greatly improved.

All in all, with the restoration of the reputation of the MacMillan family, all aspects are recovering rapidly, even far beyond the past, and it is no longer a shell of empty reputation and respectability.

At the same time, Ernie also felt that he was a truly kind-hearted man, so he felt at ease and did not pursue those noble and just causes that promoted social progress in great strides.

No matter how good the system is, it must be implemented by people. If people cannot escape the barriers of human nature, then socialism still has the possibility of cannibalism.

Let those with high consciousness or those who feel the pain go to the trouble. Real revolutionaries should also be named "great" and respected but not envied.

I had a good breakfast and was in a comfortable mood. I was about to go back to the dormitory to sleep, but I saw a few little wizards in green robes walking into the stadium arrogantly.

Wood, the captain of the Gryffindor Quidditch team, noticed this situation and said angrily in the air: "What is this for? We have reserved the stadium for today!"

After that, he pressed the broomstick with one hand and dived down.

The Weasley twins, Harry and others also flew down one after another.

"Flint, this is our training time, please get out!" Wood said loudly to the captain of the Slytherin team.

Marcus Flint is a pureblood. He is a big man with a somewhat ugly appearance. His teeth are like sticks with fixed front teeth. They are buckled and sparse. His temperament is also very different. He is naive and cunning, and he is nicknamed by others. The cunning troll'.

"This place is big enough." Flint said with a bit of joking.

Meanwhile, the other Slytherin players stood in a row, staring at each other.

"It's not a matter of whether the place is big enough. Today we're reserving the venue, so you have to abide by the rules." Wood's expression was serious.

"Oh, are there any rules? We have them too." Flint said, taking out a piece of parchment. "Professor Snape, authorize us to train new Seekers."

Wood frowned: "The new Seeker, who?"

Among the Slytherin players, Draco, who was relatively short in stature, with a pale pointed face and platinum blond hair, said proudly: "Me."

Fred Weasley said in a confirming tone: "Are you Draco Malfoy?"

"That's right." Draco said, "Well, you still have some sense."

George Weasley curled his lips: "Harry's excellent performance at Hogwarts is recognized, and he has also proven himself on the field. Why do you join the Quidditch team in advance?"

Flint answered: "Why? Because of the Malfoy family's support for the school team." Then he said to the left and right: "Come on, show them our new horse and open their eyes."

So the next moment, seven brand new, shiny, exquisite and high-end broomsticks were lifted forward and displayed in front of Harry and others.

"Nimbus 2001 is better than Nimbus 2000. It was only launched last month." Flint said, pointing to the old 'Sweep Five Star' broomstick in George's hand, and said contemptuously: "That thing of yours is only worthy of holding Go sweep the floor."

The gap is indeed obvious, the appearance alone is overwhelming, and the little lions were speechless for a while.

Draco said arrogantly: "Now that I have a chance, I will also prove myself on the court, and I will be better than you!" He pointed at Harry.

At this time, Ron and Hermione ran over, and they had urgent news to inform Harry.

Ron looked at the situation in front of him with confusion: "Isn't today Gryffindor's training day?" He pointed at Draco and asked Harry: "What's going on with him?"

"I'm the new Seeker in Slytherin. My dad sponsored Nimbus 2001 for every Slytherin school team."

Draco said and added with a bad mouth: "Quidditch has a threshold. Using shabby and outdated equipment will only hold back the players. How can we win?

For example, if these have five stars, you can only find the same model by going to a museum, right? "

As he spoke, he continued to snarl at Harry: "You were just relying on Nimbus 2000. You got some limelight last year, but this year, haha..."

Although Draco's expression was disgusting, when the Gryffindor players asked themselves, they had to admit that there was some truth in the theory of equipment winning.

Looking at the Nimbus 2001 of the little snakes, and then looking at my shabby and worn-out broomstick, I feel very uncomfortable.

For a time, morale plummeted, and even the broom felt the little lions' thoughts and became restless...
