Archdruid of Hogwarts

Ernie's analysis and speculation are correct.

Hermione was no longer the same Hermione.

The main reason was Ernie's preaching, which had an impact.

Especially the rogue sentence: "I know where my mistakes are, but I won't change them because I am happy!"

Although this sentence makes people angry and funny, if you think about it carefully, it is actually an attitude towards life related to psychological construction.

What it means is that sometimes, you can't care too much about other people's opinions and evaluations.

You live for yourself first.

Secondly, what others say may not be correct.

Even if it is correct, it is analyzed from their perspective, and the principles of life are never absolute.

Finally, even if you make corrections with an open mind, you will never be able to satisfy everyone.

Harry and Ron's current basic literacy is not enough to explain so many hidden meanings, but the smart and studious Miss Know-It-All can.

In particular, she constantly gained new insights based on her own actual situation.

She realized that being helpful to others was an excellent quality, but without considering the other person's feelings, it became a kind of self-motivated show off, which instead added insult to injury.

With this knowledge, she finally realized why she had no friends in the past.

Indeed, in a short period of time, she still couldn't change her problem of being a know-it-all, a king of reason, and a preacher. She often started this type of mode naturally, but she had completed her psychological construction and would not feel sorry for herself just because she had no friends. Self-abuse, but with the goal of correcting the shortcomings.

Not to mention, she has a friend now, and Ernie MacMillan is her friend.

She relied on her excellent memory to memorize all the insightful phrases that Ernie had said, such as 'a simple conversation but a profound one'. She also checked them out in private and felt that she gained a lot.

Although Ernie seemed a bit rogue, and his relationship with her was far from particularly close; but relying on a girl's keen intuition and delicate emotions, she was able to taste Ernie's kindness and care for her.

She felt that Ernie was already her friend, and he was a very good person.

Also Harry, Ron, Justin and Hannah.

In Hermione's mind, these four people may not be friends yet, but they are definitely acquaintances.

This way, she certainly won't feel alone.

In fact, she had become much closer to Harry and Ron recently.

Just a few days ago, the escalator suddenly moved, causing the three people who were walking and chatting to go to the third floor of the main castle by accident.

When the three of them realized that they had reached a floor that was forbidden by the principal during the opening ceremony, they naturally wanted to exit, but Mrs. Loris appeared.

After interacting directly or indirectly with Filch several times, even Harry could no longer say that Filch was a good person without conscience.

This guy really enjoys punishing people by grabbing their pigtails, and he especially likes to accuse people unjustly.

All three of them knew that wherever Mrs. Norris appeared, Filch would be there soon. So he ran away to avoid it, but ran into the room guarded by the three-headed dog.

The three-headed dog was alarmed, and danger suddenly arose...

With this experience, they can barely be considered to be sharing weal and woe, and they have a little secret that needs to be guarded together, and the relationship has become closer.

Ernie is also a little worried that the Iron Triangle is not strong enough.

But friendship should not be deliberate, otherwise it is likely to be self-defeating.

So he placed his hope in the corrective power of history.

To put it bluntly, Dumbledore probably had some arrangements for the three little ones, including inducements, layer-by-layer advancement, and rehearsals. Moreover, the elephants were invisible and clever enough.

Then the probability that the three children will go through it together and keep secrets together will greatly increase, and their relationship will basically get back on track.

On his side, he felt that for some things, it was more appropriate for him to be a lone ranger.

Just like he wanted to steal Quirrell's weakness spell, he had already thought of a way.

He asked Xiao Lai to deliver a letter to Dumbledore, the general content of which was:

Headmaster, I plan to go to Knockturn Alley in disguise to buy a Bowtruckle, specifically to learn the Weakness Charm from Quirrell. Quirrell hid a mountain monster in the Forbidden Forest, preparing to cause trouble at the right time.

Dumbledore's reply came quickly: We need to talk.

A dozen minutes later, Ernie saw Dumbledore again.

"Principal, I know you are very busy, especially recently. And I think this is just a small matter. Just say hello and report to you, that's it."

"No, when it comes to the safety of students, it is not a trivial matter, but the most important thing."

What Dumbledore said was very certain. Ernie could feel that Dumbledore was expressing a very determined attitude.

"Okay, maybe looking at this series of events from a downstream perspective gave me some misunderstandings. I thought your plan included giving the little wizards appropriate adventures so that they could understand early on that the wizarding world is full of magic, but There are also dangers, so be careful when doing things."

Dumbledore shook his head: "If there is a way, I am willing to change to something safer. Whether it is because I have to be responsible for the safety and physical and mental health of the students, or because the times have changed. This is no longer an era where we rely on sticks to educate future generations. "

"Okay, then I will tell you everything about this year's annual drama." Ernie said, describing what happened in the original historical line in more detail.

Final summary: "Although the whole incident was full of stupid recklessness and coincidence, and there was a sense of collective wisdom, the result was gratifying.

A friend in need is a friend indeed, the iron triangle was established and completely stabilized, and the team was tempered. This laid a solid foundation for him to continue his battle of wits and courage with Voldemort in the following years.

In the long run, Harry Potter can successfully attract hatred and become the second enemy after you to destroy Voldemort quickly. If you don't kill him, he will not be able to regain the position of the Dark Lord. They have been repeatedly frustrated and have an inseparable relationship.

It must be said that a Voldemort who is crazy enough but has goals is quite likable. Otherwise God knows what crazy things he would do.

Compared to demons who at least have order and organization, I hate the chaotic evil of this kind of demon very much. "

As he spoke, Ernie's expression became gloomy.

This was not common in the past. As an adult, even if he could not tolerate flattery or humiliation, he would not be so emotional that he would express his inner emotions too directly.

But recently, my mind has become sharper, so...

But introspection was Ernie's habit, and he quickly monetized his emotions.

Dumbledore felt Ernie's emotional changes, which were brewing like storm clouds. Although they were fast, there were still traces to be followed. The process of subduing them was abrupt and swept away, just like an act. But it wasn't acting. With Dumbledore's insight, how could he not be able to judge?

However, he did not try to dig out. He said: "I have to admit that your reminder made me feel the need to seriously and comprehensively consider how to layout. After all, there is still some time before Halloween.

As for your shopping in Knockturn Alley, did you have other purposes, such as taking the opportunity to save the Bowtruckle, or was it simply to learn the Weakness Charm? "

"Just studying." Ernie answered simply.

"Oh, I thought that even if you didn't have the heart to save, you would at least cover it up."

Ernie said: "In front of you, I don't want to lie or talk nonsense. Because it is easy to fail, and it will complicate the relationship. No matter how you calculate it, it will be a loss."

Dumbledore laughed dumbly, and then said: "You also have some wisdom in life and work. I guess it is due to the experience in your previous life."

"I took it as a compliment." Ernie gave himself a playful thumbs up and continued: "We all have our own problems. My big problem is that the extraordinary combat duty has been added, but the soul The realm has not yet reached that standard.

After all, neither the past life nor the future can compare to this life. I live in the present, and this is the main personality. It is impossible to become wise, noble, or sacred all of a sudden. "

Dumbledore nodded: "That's the truth."

"So, even though I know that since Mr. Newt Scamander was demobilized and returned to work, at least in Britain, there is no one who really cares about magical animals.

In fact, many of the efforts made by Mr. Scamander were wasted by the greedy, selfish and short-sighted operations of the later generations of wizards, so that the private sale of magical animals became rampant and even bloody.

But I still wasn't ready to love. After all, love is a responsibility and a qualification test. Just a few gold galleons are not enough.

And from the perspective of priority analysis, I must love myself first, love mine and what I love, and then others. "

Dumbledore floated an Eastern proverb: "If you are poor, you can be good for yourself; if you are rich, you can help the world. I feel the truth in your words."...
