Archdruid of Hogwarts

There is certainly no shortage of magical things in the Hufflepuff common room.

However, the expression of "magic" is not the gorgeous and enchanting shape and brilliance of Avatar, nor the surprise and weirdness of the Dark series, but ordinary but interesting.

For example, the most common ones here are cacti and fern vines.

The former are mostly placed on curved shelves arranged along the wall. There are different varieties. They often twist and dance to the little wizards who pass by or approach.

The latter live in small copper braziers hanging from the ceiling and on the walkways. When the little wizard walks under these ferns and vines, they will help comb his hair.

Seeing such magical characteristics, Ernie can easily think of why Newt Scamander, the most caring pet, is the Bowtruckle.

The little wizards' living rooms are like enlarged flat candy boxes.

When you are inside, you feel a bit like a basement, because the round windows are slightly higher when viewed from the inside, but close to the ground when viewed from the outside. This is similar to the London townhouses with basements. The pattern is very similar.

There is not much else. There are five people living in the same room. The room is divided into six equal parts like a pizza. One of them is the door, and the rest have bedside tables, small desks and chairs.

The bed itself is also a four-poster bed, but whether or not to hang bed curtains comes down to personal preference.

I have to say that there is something worth mentioning. There is no fireplace and no electric lighting. I can complain a lot.

Especially there are no diesel-burning horse lanterns. They use more ancient candle lanterns. The lighting effect is really unflattering. It is very different from the various fill lights in movies. In this kind of environment, the only thing I want to do is The only thing you can do is sleep, read, etc. Over time, your eyes will definitely become blind.

"The details are really fatal. As expected, only the person who wears the shoes knows best whether the shoes are comfortable or not!"

Ernie uses a three-layer bed curtain, the outer layer is dark gold velvet, the middle layer is sky blue cotton, and the inner layer is white gauze. He prefers elegant cold colors when resting, giving people a peaceful and clean feeling. .

After getting up early the next morning, the scenery outside the window brought some surprise to Ernie.

I saw the green grass rippled by the breeze, dandelions flying everywhere, and occasionally passers-by walking under the grass slope dozens of meters away...

This kind of down-to-earth natural beauty is more impressive to Ernie than looking down at the rivers and mountains.

In addition, since it is on a grassy slope, although the windows are opened low, there is plenty of light in the house.

"That's right, that's right. Next, let's get to know the customs and customs of Badger Yard and see if there are more flat-headed brothers or more dogs."

Dog badgers and honey badgers are the two most widespread species of badgers.

Ernie personally prefers badgers, which have three stripes of white from head to back and look a bit like raccoons. In his previous life, Ernie went to his grandfather's house during a vacation and saw them in the mountains.

The honey badger is relatively unfamiliar, and I basically only remember the grumpy flat-headed brother.

What makes Ernie a little disappointed is that there are not many opportunities for interaction between the grades in Badger House. He doesn't know if this is the case in all branches or just in Badger House.

The ones who interact the most with the little badgers are the little eagles of the same grade, just like the little lions and the little snakes always have transfiguration and potions classes together.

It felt to Ernie that the attitude of the little eagles towards the little badgers was like the attitude of the students in the key class towards the students in the underachieving class in the previous life.

The eaglets seldom spray poison directly like the little snakes, but they go out of their way to stand up, look down with leering eyes, occasionally chat with each other, and then smile knowingly, just like a bunch of rich ladies on the shore. It looks like poor people working in mud ditches.

In fact, in terms of academic performance, the gap between the little badgers and the eaglets was far less than Ernie expected.

No matter which college, there are students who come from Muggle families and have almost zero prior exposure to magical knowledge.

Those who come from a wizarding family know a lot about daily life or interesting gossip, but they know very little about serious courses that are relatively boring and potentially dangerous.

Another problem is that people from Muggle families, before coming to Hogwarts, basically have an education level of elementary school graduation.

I don’t dare to say how brilliant I am, but my cultural foundation has been well established and my study habits have been developed.

Those from wizarding families were different. They had never even attended a kindergarten class beforehand. Basic knowledge, such as literacy, etc., all came from tutoring.

It’s not that tutoring is impossible, but the biggest problem with ordinary tutoring is that it is unsystematic.

This is obviously incomparable to the mature general-purpose enlightenment education that even those public schools in the world have gone through many years of hard work, and their curriculum arrangements and textbook selections are reasonable.

There is another problem, that is, the collective living ability of the young wizards of the aristocratic family is obviously worse. Either clumsy and shy, or unruly and arrogant, the former is like Ron (Neville is too extreme), and the latter is like a common little snake (Draco can't break into the norm either).

So on average, being born into aristocratic families and being born into Muggles are really about the same thing, each with its own strengths and weaknesses. Ernie felt that it was quite suitable to play a gang of one and a pair of reds.

In this context, perhaps the eaglets are flexible and intelligent, but not many are both smart and diligent.

The little badgers generally have the awareness that the stupid bird flies first, and they study very hard, but sometimes they seem to be a bit stubborn in reading.

Everyone has their own strengths to rely on. Even though the little eagles perform better, the little badgers can answer the questions in a satisfactory manner most of the time. They are not flexible enough, but they can't make mistakes.

Besides, I've only been in school for a few days, how deep can my prejudices be?

So why do little eagles look down on little badgers?

Confident? Smart so arrogant?

Ernie believes that the academic atmosphere spread openly and openly in the name of 'tradition' is probably the main culprit, so that daily contempt has become a kind of political correctness.

Perhaps when this was done, in addition to the founders having different philosophies, they also had the intention of introducing a competition mechanism to promote each other.

But competition has turned into comparison, promotion has turned into anger, and various chains of contempt have become popular. This is obviously a manifestation of the two sides of things. Good causes may not necessarily produce good results.

In this context, the so-called personal network is only the most practical to establish in this college. It is not impossible to build a cross-college network, but the cost is obviously higher.

You must have social skills that are above the level and have the awareness to make friends according to your intentions, otherwise it will be extremely difficult to gain the friendship you want.

Of course this is not friendship, it is all done deliberately, so naturally it can only be called friendship.

Or wait until the fourth grade, under the influence of restless hormones, to start interacting with the opposite sex?

When he thought about this, Ernie easily shuddered with shame, trembled and felt deeply disgusted by his imaginary pretense.

The first Potions class came on the morning of the third day of school.

Ernie sat upright and hopeful.

He had no particular fondness for Snape.

He felt that it was those little girls who were overly romantic who would become fans of this person to death.

Only a sad and tragic ending can be romantic, meaningful and unforgettable.

Just like Jack in Titanic, the most glorious moment comes to an end, making this love eternal.

Although Snape's love for Lily was not earth-shattering, it was more lasting, infatuated, and precious.

Ernie felt that men also like people who are loyal to love and never leave. No matter how long they have been away from home, they will never be succeeded by the old man who takes advantage of him. No matter how many confidantes he has, he will always remain true to his original intention.

But men don’t need to be unforgettable and poignant. What they need is to last forever and stay young forever.

That’s why the question of ‘Young and Beautiful’ in The Great Gatsby appeared, and it had a great impact.

Okay, back to the topic, since she is not a girl, and she is not interested in engaging in a sexy teacher-student relationship, what is left of Snape?

Ernie's personal answer: Interesting.

Cold and poisonous tongue + extremely arrogant, the kind of interesting expression of affection without being awkward.

It's a pity that this kind of fun is mainly reflected in the classroom with Harry Potter, and if Draco, the godson, is used as a foil, the effect will be better.

‘Bang! ’ When Snape arrived, the classroom door suddenly opened like a battering ram. The door panel slammed against the wall, and the remaining force allowed it to close slowly.

At this time gap, Snape rushed in like a rolling dark cloud with steps that he didn't recognize.

Moreover, Snape is not the kind of person who strictly abides by aristocratic etiquette, or in other words, none of the students are worthy of his strict aristocratic etiquette.

Before he could stand still, he started beeping: "There is no need to wave your wand foolishly or mutter incantations in this subject of potions!"

He walked to the teaching desk, turned around violently, and then leaned sideways against the teaching desk, but it was not the lazy style, but a very typical cool and awkward look.

"I don't expect most people to be able to understand the precision and technology required to make potions. This course is not for mediocre people. The reason why you can all listen to the class and study is so that you can win the prize." Most of them have the basic ability to identify, so as not to die of stupidity when encountering magic potions in the future..."

It must be said that Snape's line skills are very good. He can express the rhythm and priorities of a sentence very well. You can even vaguely feel the hissing sound like a poisonous snake spitting a message. Whether you love him or not One set, you have to admit, it is very personal and highly recognisable.

In addition, Snape's teaching style of arching fire can be regarded as a thoughtful person in the wizarding education world.

It's easy to inspire the little wizard's competitive spirit.

The disadvantage is that once you suffer successive setbacks and are hit by Snape again, your confidence will easily be lost and you will be completely shattered.

From this perspective, Snape really told the truth. Only those who are not lacking in talent or perseverance can gain something in the potions course.

And if you want to really achieve results, you can only look at people with good talent, enough interest in potions, and high diligence.

With just perseverance, you can reach the level of an assistant. After half a lifetime, you may be able to open a decent potion shop based on your proficiency.

Ernie listened attentively to this lesson, but he didn't remember any of the lecture content. He was too busy studying Snape's speaking style, his fancy ways of styling, and the way he played with his silk robes.

In other words, from the perspective of the movie, in Ernie's impression, only Voldemort and Snape were able to wear silk robes with style, and the others, not even Dumbledore, were outstanding.

Real silk is extremely expensive. From this point of view, whether it is Voldemort or Snape, although the color of their robes is dark, they have the effect of showing off their coquettishness coming from their hearts, but More eye-catching than any bright red or purple color!
