Archdruid of Hogwarts

During festivals, it is actually quite taboo to be serious about specific activities.

After all, those are the main celebration items, and they are no longer new.

The whole point of a festival is the atmosphere, just like at a concert, it’s not so much about enjoying the songs as it is about enjoying the atmosphere.

At Hannah's current age, although she cannot accurately use these principles to defeat Ernie, this does not prevent her from fighting the injustice:

"This is all a negative analysis. You're just trying to be happy during the holidays. Can't you say something positive and constructive?"

Ernie has discovered that Hannah has the kind of temperament that is round on the outside and square on the inside. She is usually gentle and generous, but if she becomes stubborn, it is best not to be tough with her.

He smiled and said: "That makes sense. A festival is a festival, and it is up to people to decide how to enjoy it. What suggestions do you have?"

Ernie said soft words, but Hannah felt a little embarrassed, but she would not apologize for her harsh tone just now. She asked after discussion: "How about we make masks? I was in the library the day before yesterday and turned over a page. This is a very interesting book called "On the Mysterious Metaphor of Masks", which is quite interesting..."

As Hannah explained, Ernie's mind started to wander. He thought of Venetian masks, Peking opera masks, masks in Naruto, and masks given to you by the disguised geek...

"This is indeed possible, and it is quite appropriate. After all, if you choose a characteristic entry for Halloween, the first one should be mysterious, followed by weird, interesting, etc."

While Ernie liked it, he added in his mind:

"As big as the heart is, so is the stage. There must be a lot of interesting things in the wizarding world. J.K. has only revealed the tip of the iceberg. Just like the interesting magical animals + adult world in Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, it's just the wizarding world. part of the world…”

As the saying goes, everything in the world is beneficial.

A man like Ernie, a young man on the outside and a social beast on the inside, has little innocence and a lot of utility.

Let him enjoy life wholeheartedly, at least not yet.

But it must be said that as he entered Hogwarts, his mind was sharpening and he was becoming more and more playful.

Without him, it is profitable.

The scenes that take place every day on this campus are no more rigid and limited than those in movies and TV shows.

It doesn’t have the craftsmanship and hypocrisy of a self-righteous thing that has been made famous for a long time, has become full of trenches, and is no longer grounded at all.

The atmosphere created by the reality here made him feel relaxed and the childishness in his heart was being reawakened.

Even though he was still preaching to express the logic of adult thinking, he knew that he was being changed. The emotional rewards don’t lie.

To be honest, he was a little reluctant to monetize it in a hurry.

This feeling is very enjoyable. Once it is taken away, it is like going from the color world to the black and white world. It is dull and lonely, and there is no interest in anything.

Overall, campus life is indeed as expected and a good place to earn positive emotional currency.

In such an environment, the soul seems to shed its old skin and become tender again, more sensitive and fresh.

After some calculations, he began to deliberately sacrifice some emotional power to promote the improvement of the soul sharpening effect.

This makes it easier to be happy and to have negative emotions.

The result of the continuous sharpening of the mind is that people become more and more emotional, and eventually become like a baby, crying when they are frightened, and laughing at happy things before their tears are dry.

Ernie is not afraid of this. He has the ability to monetize his emotions and his mind becomes sharper, which is equivalent to increased productivity!

Of course, there are still some additional effects.

Just like in the past, every New Year's Eve, he would resist and complain in his heart: "What's so easy about this? It's annoying, tiring, and boring rituals. If you have money, you celebrate the festival every day. If you don't have money, how can you be in the mood to celebrate the festival?"

But in fact, even if you have some money, you still don't want to celebrate the holidays, your mind is numb, and the fun is lost. This is the truth.

Now, there are obvious signs of loosening up. Although I am still negative and feel cliche, if there are some new suggestions, I am able to be moved and willing to try them.

He told himself that spiritual changes did not happen overnight. It had only been more than a month since school started, and there were obvious changes that could be noticed, which fully proved that his original estimate was successful.

The ivory tower atmosphere of Hogwarts can indeed make him feel younger.

As long as he diligently harvests emotions, especially negative emotions, and at the same time protects his emotional state like a constant temperature room, and interacts as positively as possible with the campus atmosphere, the Mind Sharpening Buff will always be there.

With this kind of treatment, I dare not say that I will be rejuvenated, but at least my mentality will be younger and younger! ?

All in all, I used to regard it as ordinary as breathing, but now I have all kinds of calculations and desires, and it feels very different.

Seeing that Hannah's suggestion was accepted by Ernie, Justin became excited and said: "Speaking of masks, I also came up with a good idea, take an adventure!"

Ernie complained in an old-fashioned but very unserious tone:

"You stubborn kid, why are you still excited? When you take risks, you won't encounter anything, and you just slip your legs the whole time. This is called losing interest. If we encounter some problems, and we don't have any predictions in advance, then we will commit suicide. Why? There must be a clear goal that makes people willing to fight for it, so that you can trick people into participating, right?”

"But what if I say that the location of the adventure is Lilliput, which has all kinds of magical things?"

"What!?" Ernie had an expression on his face that said, "You're bluffing me, but I'm going to beat you up."

Hannah was also confused.

Justin became more energetic and looked proud.

"If you've enjoyed it enough, tell me the details quickly." A few seconds later, Ernie said angrily.

"It comes from a Welsh fairy tale."

Ernie was already reaching out to hit someone.

Justin quickly put up a gesture of surrender: "Listen to me, hear me out..."

As soon as Justin kept talking, Hannah and Ernie understood.

The fairy tale Justin mentioned is actually a magical version of Welsh documentary literature.

This kind of reading is like the wizards of this era telling children the way of telling fairy tales, as if telling children that Voldemort is terrifying and evil.

One day he said, "If you cry again, Voldemort will come to arrest you." This stopped the child from crying.

Whether Voldemort has it or not, of course he does.

So what about this Lilliputian country? At least from the wizard's perspective, it's not that unreal.

"It's interesting!" Ernie became interested.

This fairy tale not only has the flavor of inviting a fairy, but also has some aspects that make people daydream.

For example, this fairy tale is not widely known. Even in Wales, few people know it. Ernie estimated that it was probably only popular among the Welsh wizard community.

However, the wizarding community in Wales is considered a backward and remote place compared to the entire British wizarding world.

In other words, this fairy tale is equivalent to something like Nomura's Yin Priest. Documentary ghost stories in remote mountain villages...

"Smiling guest, disappointed man, straw clown, amusement park, magical passage, Lilliput, haha, so many mysteries, but there is only one truth!" Ernie finally added a Conan famous saying, and he decided to play this game!

However, this game is not something he will play just because he wants to play it, and it requires a lot of attention.

It is impossible for him to rashly try the method on his own, and he must do enough preparations in advance.

Specifically, start by checking the information.

1. Check it from the Hogwarts library.

He can take responsibility for this personally.

2. Check it from the Ministry of Magic's reference room.

3. Visit to Wales to investigate wizards.

The latter two lines can be solved with money. Money can make the devil push you, and if you throw gold Galleons at it, there will always be some splashes.

As for the giant monster that appeared during Halloween in the original historical line...

Ernie had thought before that the historical responsibility shouldered by the trolls was to promote the establishment of the Iron Triangle through external pressure.

If it is regarded as an emotional chemical reaction, then the preparation process in advance cannot be ignored.

For example, Hermione's self-righteousness, regardless of the other person's mood and wishes, and her habit of preaching whenever she had the opportunity, reaped the consequences. No friends.

Another example: Ron was talking behind someone's back, but Hermione was walking behind them. After hearing this, she quickly passed them and left sadly.

This made Ron and even Harry feel embarrassed and guilty at the same time...

Without the former, Hermione wouldn't have felt particularly lonely during holidays like Halloween and run to the toilet to cry.

If they hadn't felt guilty, Harry and Ron wouldn't have thought that Hermione didn't know about the troll and ran to the toilet when the prefect took everyone back to the dormitory.

What about now?

Ernie was almost certain that Hermione was unlikely to run into the bathroom and cry on Halloween...
