Archdruid of Hogwarts

Ernie really considered himself a teacher.

At least at the age the young wizards were now, he felt he was qualified to teach them a few lessons.

"Dear friends, do you still remember the process when we designated the adventure plan for Lilliput?"

The atmosphere was a little awkward, so Ernie took the initiative to change the topic.

Hermione and the others nodded after hearing this.

"Then you must also remember the two points I emphasized repeatedly at that time. Can anyone repeat them?" Ernie asked.

Hermione, the academic master, immediately answered: "1. Avoid the involvement of subjective emotions as much as possible. 2. Be prepared for the worst, and calculate defeat before calculating victory."

Ernie nodded: "That's right. When we do things, many of the principles are the same.

Just like Harry's incident, it can also be regarded as an adventure.

more specifically. An anti-adventure.

Where there is offense there is defense, where there is darkness there is light.

This time, we are guarding, we are in the open.

The enemy has revealed his claws and is playing tricks on the Quidditch game, trying to get Harry to have an accident.

I was lucky enough to escape this time, but what about next time? Can luck continue to be good?

Is it possible for us to always be on guard against all kinds of plots?

I believe that you have considered these issues clearly, or vaguely, or instinctively, and have carried out a series of investigation and analysis actions. "

Harry, Ron, and Hermione nodded, feeling that Ernie had explained this series of issues thoroughly.

At this time, Ernie raised his finger to emphasize: “However, the more serious the situation is, the more we must be calm and cautious.

If we make a mistake, we will most likely receive a fatal blow.

Our opponents are expecting us to make mistakes! It is even possible to deliberately induce us to make mistakes.

Do you think this is possible? "

The little wizards looked at each other, then nodded. They all thought of what happened to Justin during his adventure in Lilliput. He failed to pay attention to his steps and was almost caught by the clown's killing curse. It was really a big risk.

Ernie said: "Well, I'm here to teach you another way to deal with problems, which is called: make bold assumptions and verify carefully."

Hermione, Hannah, muttered while trying to remember.

Ernie gave everyone a round of hot drinks, took out some fruits, and drank a round of simple snacks before continuing:

"From my perspective, as the dean of the Snake House, the master of potions, and a famous professor, if it was Snape who harmed Harry, then his method was too crude and clumsy.

He is a master of potions. If he poisons his food or causes experimental accidents during potions class, wouldn't he have a higher chance of success?

Of course, if I were Snape, I would not poison or cause an experimental accident, because I am the Potions Master, and poisoning can easily be suspected of me. If an experimental accident happens and someone dies, the professor will not do it anyway. There is an unshirkable responsibility.

I will start from other aspects. For example, I know that Nimbus 2000 is Harry's exclusive broom. I secretly broke it without breaking it completely. At the critical moment, I used a simple spell to make it click! ’, causing Harry to fall from a height of dozens of meters.

Another example is that when the weather is freezing, ice picks and ice curtains are hung in many places in Hogwarts. Enough vibration can cause them to fall, which is not much different from sharp arrows..."

Harry broke out in a cold sweat after hearing this, and several other people also turned pale.

Ernie said at this time: "Look, I can come up with so many practical ideas just by playing on the spot.

Ladies and gentlemen, you don't think that Professor Snape has no money ability, and even his intelligence has been seriously reduced, right? No way? "

Harry scratched his head and smiled bitterly.

Ron looked resentful.

Hermione was humming there too.

Ernie once again pointed out: "Arrogance is a taboo!"

Then he added: "So I advise you, since it is a big matter, then spend more energy and thought on investigation and verification. Ask more questions.

For example, what was the motive for killing Harry?

For another example, what kind of character is Professor Snape? Why was he always giving Harry trouble?

Even Harry himself knew his name. His title of 'Savior' was due to the fact that his existence led to Voldemort's defeat, not because of his great ability. Why didn't Professor Snape understand and was so dishonest that he was embarrassed again and again? What about first-year students?

You know, if these things were to spread, it would not be Harry who would be laughed at. "

Harry continued to grimace, and so did Ron. It was obvious that they agreed with Ernie's suggestion to a certain extent, but they didn't think of any solution.

Hermione felt a sense of justice and said: "Your hypothesis sounds reasonable, but we can't figure out how to check it. We don't have the money..." She lowered her head and glanced at Ernie.

Ernie laughed angrily: "Are you accusing me of only spending money to solve problems?"

Hermione muttered: "How dare I? I'm just saying that everyone has money-making ability, but we don't have money..."

"I do!" said Harry.

"Go! What are you making fun of? Are you talking about money?" Ernie said half-jokingly.

Harry blinked, as did Ron and Justin, thinking to himself, "Aren't we talking about money?"

Ernie accused him with a hateful expression: "So, you are all very nervous and have insufficient brain circuits. Hermione is trying to persuade me to get involved in this matter and provide help. Woolen cloth."

Hermione blushed as her little thoughts were revealed.

"As expected, he is a Gryffindor, and he is indeed a grudge!"

Ernie pretended to scold Hermione. One look at the exaggerated expression, tone and body language, and you knew it was a lie.

So Hermione was not afraid, twisting and twisting there, as if she was acting coquettishly.

Hannah was unhappy and complained for Ernie: "So, what are you going to give in exchange?"

Now, it was Harry's turn to be embarrassed.

Ernie stretched out his hand to stop Hannah from continuing, and said: "Let's put this question aside for now, let's continue the topic we just left unfinished.

I said before that the secret of my success is to be careful in my words and deeds, but behind this book, there is an underlying reason. In other words, why can I be cautious in my words and deeds? "

"Yes, yes, why?" Hermione asked.

Ernie looked at them and then said: "I'm telling the truth, but you are not allowed to laugh because I have been beaten more than you."

A few little wizards don't know what expressions to make. How is this so funny? This answer is more like teasing you.

"You see, this is how the truth is often treated. It is simple and even rough, but no one is willing to believe it. People would rather believe those lyrical chicken soup for the soul."

"What is Chicken Soup for the Soul?" asked good student Hermione.

Ernie gives an example. The little wizards were speechless. These chicken soups felt really good and made sense.

“If you’ve done the mental work, if you’re confident enough, if you’re moving from one success to another, you don’t need any of that stuff.

Chicken Soup for the Soul is sold to Losers, and most Losers will keep spinning in the mud, unable to get rid of the title of loser.

He doesn't even understand what he wants, and he has no idea how to get it. What should he use to compete with those competitors who cannot see but are real? How can you be undefeated? "

Ernie said, pulling out some real-world data.

In the information age, these data are easily available online.

But in this era, it is often the rulers and those with high abilities who have high-value information.

Through these data, the cold side of human society is immediately reflected.

Ernie pointed out: "Word expression may not be accurate, but mathematics will not lie. As long as statistics are accurate, it can honestly show the truth."

Hermione's eyes twinkled, statistics! math! The academic girl said she remembered...

Ernie took the opportunity to apply eye drops: "Many people have stayed in school for a long time and are tired of studying. While envying the colorful world outside, they always think that society is big enough to accommodate them.

In fact, this is an illusion.

The truth is that the concepts of key classes and ordinary classes, top academics and poor academics, prestigious universities and pheasant universities have always been in society, but they have just changed their names.

For example, first-class companies and third-class companies are famous universities, Pheasant University.

Screening, elimination, and distinction are still happening frequently, and they are faced by all people in society throughout their lives, whether you like it or not. "

Ernie's other words also left a deep impression on the little wizards: "Those who fail to develop the habit of serious self-study during school years will often pay a heavy price when they enter society."

What they didn't know was that when Ernie said this, he actually added something in his mind: "I was this kind of person in my previous life. I had poor self-discipline, but I was very free. Then I was taught how to be a human being by life."

As a result, what Hermione and others imagined was that the MacMillan family was being hunted by dark wizards, and Ernie had to fight for survival at a young age...such a severe beating.

Ernie doesn't care about this, as long as the meaning is in place...
