Archdruid of Hogwarts

Five days after Ernie's secret talk with Dumbledore, Dumbledore had a phoenix deliver a note to Ernie from the fireplace in the common room.

There was a sentence written on the note that was inconsistent:

Wolfsbane and mind potion, ready to hit the road.

Ernie completely confirmed that Peter Pettigrew had been taken care of by Dumbledore.

The reason for this confirmation was that he lost Pettigrew's breath sensing two days ago.

He seemed to have seen this scene at that time:

"Fainted!" Then Dumbledore stepped forward and showed a kind smile to Pettigrew. Soothingly said: "Peter, you are such a naughty little kid, you have learned how to sneak into the junior team to cheat on food and drinks!"

Pettigrew, who rolled his stomach and rolled his eyes, complained: "What kind of world is this! Even the white wizards have learned how to sneak attack and plot to sap. It's so difficult for me!"

Another narration: "Wizards, times have changed!"

Now it seems that even though there may be discrepancies in the lines, Pettigrew should have been successfully captured by Dumbledore. This put him at ease completely.

To celebrate, Ernie decided to invite Harry, Ron and Hermione to a barbecue for lunch.

Paying attention to the stomachs of the little wizards, Ernie believes that this entry point for group building is extremely universal.

No matter whether Dumbledore's Army will be established in the future, Taste of Life Group will definitely be able to prosper for a long time. Just from the name, you can tell that it is a harmonious organization that is healthy, progressive, and harmless to humans and animals.

As soon as he thought of it, Ernie began to write invitation letters. Now the public toilet troll incident has not happened yet, the iron triangle has not yet been established, and they need to be invited separately.

Of course, this was not a problem for Ernie. During the break, he whistled in the open space outside the main castle. A moment later, Lai flew in from the Owl House and delivered the letter very efficiently.

This is because Ernie has fed Xiao Lai three times with the wisdom potion. Xiao Lai is now the smartest kid in the Hogwarts Owl Room.

When Xiao Lai gave the invitation to Harry, Harry was arguing with Ron.

It's so common for little lions to roar at each other. This time it's because of Filch's cat named Lady Norris.

Ron said that because of Mrs. Loris, his pet Scabbers has now become wilted and no longer has the same spirituality as before. Mrs. Loris should be punished for this, such as being tricked or something.

Harry disagreed with Ron. Although Filch and Mrs. Norris were indeed very unpleasant in appearance and temperament, they had not done anything too abominable. At least that's the current position.

Ron accused Scabbers of being stupid, but it was Mrs. Norris. There was no direct evidence, but he said: "Who else could it be besides him?" He wanted to accuse him.

In fact, Ron had a strong subjective dislike for this person and cat from the beginning. As far as Harry knew, this sentiment mainly came from the instillation of brothers George and Fred.

Harry felt it was unfair for Ron to blame Filch and his cat so much.

After receiving the invitation, Ron was delighted: "Ha, I have long missed the feast cooked by Ernie. After eating in the cafeteria these days, I know how rare the meal on the train is. I will definitely eat more this time." , but eat slowly. Oh, by the way, bring Banban with you, maybe good food can make it active again."

Harry complained in his mind: "Scabbers only seems more active at night. During the day he just eats and sleeps, and sleeps and eats..."

But he was still very happy for Ernie's treat.

He preferred the comfort of being with Ernie to having a big meal.

Ernie was smart and knowledgeable, somewhat preachy but not boring to him. He was also tall and tall. Although he was the same age, he gave him a sense of maturity as a senior.

He sometimes even thinks about how great it would be if Ernie was his cousin instead of Dudley.

When Xiao Lai sent Hermione a letter, Hermione was pre-reading the textbook again.

After getting the letter, Hermione took out two small jerky sticks from the snack bag and gave them to Xiao Lai.

After Xiao Lai finished eating, he happily chirped at her twice, as if to say thank you, before fluttering his wings and flying away.

Hermione is still isolated from other young wizards as in the original historical line. The difference from the original history is that this time Hermione clearly knew what the problem was.

He is excellent, loves to express himself, and also likes to preach. Although this is a habit he only developed during classroom interactions at the Mortal School, preaching is more due to his eagerness to help others rather than showing off as his main purpose. But, the reason It's no longer important.

The fact that she didn't fit in was already done, and she remembered Ernie's prophecy during the boat ride. What she wants to know most now is that Ernie also likes to preach. How does he manage to be accepted by others?

"Really want to know?" When Hermione asked this question at the barbecue lunch, Ernie asked with a meaningful smile.

Hermione glanced at Ernie's other side, Hannah Abbott, who was sitting very ladylike on the tablecloth with her legs splayed to one side, and she mustered up the courage to say loudly: "If you want to know, you are willing to pay the price."

Harry, Ron, Hannah, and Justin also wanted to hear Ernie's side of the story.

Ernie waved his hand to Hermione: "It's not that serious. My secret is actually very simple, it is to provide delicious food."

Five little wizards with different expressions. Ron, for example, felt that Ernie's answer was perfunctory, while Harry and Justin felt that it shouldn't be that simple, but they couldn't think of anything.

Hermione and Hannah were thoughtful.

Ernie ate the roast meat in his hand in a few seconds, wiped his mouth and hands with a tissue, drank some tea to relieve his tiredness, cleared his throat in a pretentious manner, and said in an old school tone:

"Hmm, MacMillan's extracurricular lectures are about to start again. This is a wise motto from the ancient wizard family. It is a social chapter in the code of life. Understanding it will benefit you for life."

The little wizard was amused by Ernie's pretense. He had no choice but to do it. He had never seen teenagers in the market who were curious about everything and had a low point of laughter.

Ernie also laughed: "Okay, the bragging is over. Now let's get down to the practical stuff. Let's look at and analyze Hermione's problem from a discussion perspective."

Hermione sat upright, looking like she was listening attentively, and Hannah also looked very serious.

Harry and Justin both looked interested, but Ron was fulfilling his promise and chewing slowly, but he was determined to eat a lot, so competing with delicious food was the main thing, and listening to Ernie's teachings was secondary.

Ernie said: “First of all, I want to talk about this issue of thinking angle.

For the average eleven or twelve-year-old boy, the concept of thinking angle seems a bit too difficult. It is not a good idea to consider this issue too early, because the cost is often the loss of a lot of childlike fun.

In MacMillan's family motto, it is mentioned that a person is sad and incomplete if he does not have a brilliant childhood, beautiful teenagers, youthful teenagers, and high-spirited youth.

But we are wizards and we are eager to grow up, so it doesn’t matter if we contact them in advance.

Take this plate of meat as an example. You can see it differently from different positions. The same is true for the perspective of thinking. We ourselves are from one perspective, our friends are from another perspective, our teachers are from another perspective, and our parents are from another perspective. Different people have different perspectives.

Today, we are not going to discuss the perspective of thinking and the issues involved in thinking in depth. The content is too rich and it is difficult to explain it thoroughly in just a few words.

What we have to do is to have a general idea of ​​it first, because I'm going to use it.

When it comes to making friends, there are different angles and different classifications.

Let’s first talk about the angles that are common among our peers.

1. From the perspective of feeling, I like him, so I am willing to make friends with him. I don’t like him, so I stay away from him. This is the perspective of self. Very purely personal preference.

2. From the perspective of rules, our parents will tell us some knowledge and experience, and we can also learn some relevant experience from books. We should associate with kind people, knowledgeable people, and generous and kind people.

We judge each other based on the rules we recognize, look at each other's strengths, and tolerate each other's shortcomings as much as possible. "

The little wizards thought and nodded. Indeed, analyzing their own ideas for making friends, they basically had two types: relying on feelings and following rules. Often mixed.

Ernie continued: "Adults at least have one more perspective than us, and they are basically dominated by this new perspective. That is the practical perspective.

The MacMillan family motto goes like this: When you are useful to others, you can often have many friends.

This statement seems utilitarian, even cruel. But it speaks of an important bond between people.

It is said that humans are social animals. I ask here, why are humans social animals?

Or you can ask, does Tyrannosaurus need society? "

Hannah and Ron didn't understand what a Tyrannosaurus was, so Ernie asked Hermione to explain it.

Ernie continued: "People become social animals because they need to survive. Only through cooperation can we survive better.

Just like our barbecue today, some people were responsible for setting the table, some were responsible for cleaning, and some were responsible for grilling. Everyone shared the work, and no one was very tired, and everyone ate good food.

When encountering fierce beasts, it is better to attack them with spears and spears than to fight alone.

So what happens when Principal Dumbledore encounters a beast? You don't need help, right?

Principal Dumbledore is the tyrannosaurus among wizards. Most survival problems can be solved by oneself, but sociality has been deeply embedded in human genes, and we who have grown up in society have also developed this habit. "

After some explanation of the concept of ‘genetic genes’, Ernie continued:

"Relying on society makes it easier to obtain what you need. Principal Dumbledore does not have to weave cloth to wear cotton-padded clothes, or work as a carpenter or plasterer to build a house...

I just want to tell everyone a truth, that is, whether you like it or not, the interaction of interests is inevitable and plays an important role in our lives. "

Ernie paused for a moment before adding: "Perhaps the concept of 'friends' is sacred to you and cannot be contaminated by utilitarianism.

But words are invented and defined by people, and they can naturally change according to their own habits. For example, friends may not necessarily be divided into best friends, confidants, and childhood friends.

This is just a naming convention, not the point. The point is, we are bound to add a practical definition perspective.

For example, if you want to work in the future and you don’t like someone’s personality, he is not very good from a rule perspective, at least it does not meet your definition of a friend, but you do not have the ability not to get along with him. How do you get along with colleagues who work together, or even collaborate on a project?

Completing the work is your main purpose. You don't like him, but you need his help. Do you need to be patient and tolerant? In order to get the job done better, you have to communicate, even negotiate more closely, etc.

Over time, you may still dislike him, but you have to admit that you understand him to a certain extent, and you can get along with him, and even cooperate with him.

When one day, you encounter something dangerous in the wild, and there is a lack of adequate communication between him and a stranger, who are you more likely to choose to work with to tide over the difficulty?

If it’s this colleague you don’t like very much, is he considered your friend to some extent? Even friends who only talk about utilitarianism?

Okay, if your answer is yes, then I would like to say that this is a passive interpersonal relationship. Because of helplessness, you pinch your nose and admit it, and join a group with the other person.

Thinking about it in reverse, in fact, it is very likely that the other person also needs to tolerate you. After all, you two have no common hobbies, and you don’t talk about the same topics outside of work...

Corresponding to the passive relationship is the active relationship.

One sentence summary: I considered that I might need someone’s help at some point in the future, so even though I didn’t like him, I still maintained a certain rapport with him, so that when I needed his help, it would be easier for me to get his help. .

And that’s the essence of the practical perspective on adult dating. "

Ernie concluded: "From this point of view, there is nothing wrong with my entry point, right? Who of us can leave to eat and drink? Who doesn't want to eat some delicious food when the stomach is growling?

You may think it’s because I speak well and have a strong ability to make friends, but in fact my popularity doesn’t seem bad. It’s probably not me who has face, but my good food.

Or maybe for some reason, others think that even if they don't make friends with me, there is no need to offend me.

Moreover, the cost of superficial greetings is very low. Just smile and say hello, that's it. Can't we talk about the weather?

In the adult world, there are many such polite greetings in the name of politeness, right?

Note, I'm not saying this is the right thing to do. Rather, it is an angle.

Through it, I took the initiative to complete the first audition for dating, then the second, and the third...

I will distinguish like-minded people, those who speak well, those who have withstood the test, etc.

The level of friends gradually emerged, casual acquaintances, acquaintances, good friends, close friends...

You can completely turn this angle into a proactive way to find friends, it just depends on what you think.

Of course, you have to say that I have a pair of magical eyes that can see into other people's hearts, or that I am so wise that I can tell who is good and who is bad with just a few glances. Those are all methods, very sharp methods, I would be very envious. "

"That's very well said." Hermione said with a blushing face.

"Really? Why don't you comfort me quickly and heat up two skewers of cumin fish balls for me with your own hands? Look, Ron has almost eaten all the delicious food!"

As a result, Hannah quietly began to pick up the cold skewers and grill them on the smokeless charcoal fire. After a while, Hermione handed them over: "Eat what I grilled first."

Ernie was about to cry, but thought to himself: "Are all girls these days so precocious? This is where the Shura field begins..."
