Archdruid of Hogwarts

On the way back, Ernie spent the whole time complaining secretly, but he wasn't lonely at all.

Since he planned to learn the Weakness Curse from Quirrell, some arrangements such as monitoring reminders became necessary.

But it was a little late today. If he didn't go back and get some sleep, it would be already dawn, and he was anxious about not being able to eat hot tofu. He would think about it carefully later.

The next day, in the morning, the first class was herbal medicine.

Although it was Hufflepuff Headmaster Sprout's class, Ernie was shy and slept whenever he could.

He really doesn't need to take this class.

With the archdruid's strong character, the plants immediately asked him to name their dishes.

To put it bluntly, he was the one who taught Sprout the class. Although Sprout was already very professional, he still didn't get some details right.

Second lesson, History of Magic. Go to sleep!

As the saying goes, reading history can make you wise, and knowing the past can help you learn from the present.

Ernie would also like to add: Life has its limits, human nature is limited, and there is nothing new under the sun.

So in theory Ernie still values ​​history as a subject.

But even if he was reading, he was still reading "Five Thousand Years of China". When he saw which paragraphs had some characteristics, he went to learn about them in detail.

At most, "Five Thousand Years of the World" can be used as supplementary reading to gain a general understanding.

As for the history of magic, although Professor Binns Cuthbert was happy to elaborate on his famous saying: I study facts, not myths and legends.

But in Ernie's eyes, "History of Magic" is a magical version of "Homer's Epic", which is basically the same as those myths and legends.

The reason is simple. As far as he knows, the wizarding world does not have the will, habits, and conditions to record history objectively and systematically.

Speaking of this, we must talk about one of Ernie's regrets, regarding divination prophecies.

When it comes to divination and prophecy in the HP world, most people will curl their lips.

Like Trelawney, who teaches divination, probably no one wants to tolerate her except Dumbledore.

I am too good at getting grades in this subject, but it is also the easiest to get. I know how to edit and act, and I usually pass a class without having to listen to it. How can you convince me of this?

Why does this happen?

Ernie used his mixed knowledge to come to a conclusion after analysis and comparison:

Because the divination and prophecy in the HP world is missing an important part: traceability.

The future can be vague, but as long as there are enough fragments to trace the origin, the shortcomings of the last few fragments should be made up by divination.

Divination before and after prediction, this is the whole picture of divination and prophecy.

Take fortune telling and palm reading as an analogy. A stranger can accurately tell his origin and past. Only then can he be fooled into believing the predictions about his future.

Chaofan should be like this, but it is just some deception, or some skills of observation and insight, which are fake and become real, even revealing mystery. This can be regarded as a divination prophecy that has entered the Tao.

People like Trelawney can't even compete with the packaging and deceitful methods of folk psychics and others, so that people can't believe it, just believe it.

Even if a crowd as big as Grindelwald endorsed the prophecy, how many people would believe it? It is not difficult to see from the expressions of those Aurors that they lack basic respect for the prophecy.

Just imagine, what if someone could really complete the 'tracing the source' part?

Can we put an end to many unjust, false, and misunderstandings?

Like those who claim to have been hit by the Imperius Curse, like Sirius who said, "You are the only one who survived, so you are the murderer."

If extraordinary divination doesn't even have this bit of beep, isn't the cost of bluffing too low? Who is stupid enough to be a good person?

Although the truth potion can solve some problems, it cannot solve the problem of death without evidence.

Let's talk about Sirius. Even if he used Veritaserum, he would just say it wasn't me. I don't know the truth. This is not helpful in solving the case. In the end, we can only doubt the effectiveness of the truth serum and the problem of drug resistance. We still have to choose the theory that seems to be the most truthful.

What's more, it is indeed possible for Veritaserum to be broken. In Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, Newt Scamander used Occlumency to break the Veritaserum when he was being interrogated.

If we can 'backtrack', we can deduce the truth as long as the relevant clues are almost collected.

This is the extraordinary version of detective investigation, and it is the cornerstone of order in wizard society.

The wizarding world, where individuals are more powerful and have the ability to cause sensational or mysterious events, must have such powerful cracking methods to achieve balance.

In this context, the cost of crime is bound to increase significantly, and the focus is on how to destroy clues as much as possible.

The fewer clues there are, the more the fortune-teller has to pay to make up for the missing clues, and even sacrifice his life to find out the truth. This is extraordinary conservation.

It's a pity that this extraordinary world is missing this piece.

At least in Hogwarts, and even in the British wizarding world, there is no reliable means of 'tracing the origin'.

There is a lack of ‘tracing the source’, and there is no willingness, habit, and conditions to objectively and systematically record history.

How to ensure the authenticity of "A History of Magic"?

What's the point of believing it and studying it?

Of course, the reasons why other young wizards don't like "History of Magic" are not so grand.

Purely out of boredom and lack of interest.

Professor Binns followed the textbook and read aloud, and there was almost no interaction between the two parties.

As a result, there are naturally many people like Ernie who take classes to catch up on sleep.

Sleep well, life lies in stillness.

As the saying goes, the body is afraid of moving and the brain is afraid of using. If you walk a hundred steps after a meal, you will not live until twenty-nine. If you go to bed after a meal, you will definitely live longer. If you go to bed and sleep, you can live a thousand years.

After this class, you can prepare to go to the cafeteria.

Since the little wizards are growing up, the lunch provided by Hogwarts is very affordable although not sumptuous.

However, the cafeteria at noon is actually the territory of the third and fourth grade wizards.

The fifth, sixth, and seventh grade students were either in love or busy studying for exams. In short, they were very private and disappeared.

OWL and NEWT are taken in fifth grade and seventh grade respectively. The former is a general witchcraft qualification, while the latter is an advanced witchcraft qualification, which affects employment.

The first and second grade wizards are full of curiosity about Hogwarts. They are more willing to spend more time walking around and playing adventure and exploration games.

And they don't like being around seniors who are in the period of physical growth and voice change.

Ernie didn't care about this. After all, based on his mental age, everyone was a younger brother.

But it must be said that he doesn't like to get along with a group of teenagers who are in the process of establishing their three views and who are also in the restless period of youth.

Teenagers at this stage have not been able to completely get rid of the naughty child's habit of ignoring and pranking every time they think of it. They are also overly sensitive and sentimental that children do not have. They have initially developed the ability to commit violence, but they are not as mature as adults. self-control, a clear self-positioning, and a clear understanding of concepts such as costs and consequences.

It can be said that this is the age when school violence and even cruel and cold-blooded behaviors are most common.

Whether it is through emotion or through reason, the effect is not very obvious. The first comprehensive psychological construction in life is so full of turbulence and uncertainty that it requires continuous positive guidance, as well as a better family and society. The environment and atmosphere can help you get through it smoothly.

Well, Ernie is not a psychologist or sociologist, but he has done some special work in his previous life because of the need. So I know what's going on.

Regarding this topic, he neither wants to appeal for anything nor criticize anything.

He feels that people of every era have their own character traits.

It is unobjective and unfair to analyze and judge from an upstream or downstream perspective. As the saying goes: You are not the one who has experienced it. It doesn’t hurt to stand and talk.

Therefore, whether it is good or bad, it all depends on yourself in the end. No one can replace you in this kind of thing.

As a bystander, if you talk too much, you will be wrong. If you are annoyed by the nagging, be careful and you will be slapped directly...

if not?

The meaning of the word "rebellious period" is not just about having a bad temper.

With this understanding, Ernie's attitude belongs to the reality of the world: he does not impose good or evil, just ignores them and lets them go, and he is not their father.

In addition, he is used to cooking on his own, so he never appears in the lobby at noon.
