Azkaban: The Fifth House of Hogwarts

032. The victim of win-win, the true nature of honor

Rollo's goal is very clear. What he needs now can only be provided by Dumbledore. The most powerful white wizard in Europe can not only provide him with very strong protection, but also controls countless resources, and he can spend money on it. High-end resources that cannot be bought.

For example, 'people connections'.

Rollo desperately needs a portable zoo like Newt, but being able to create such powerful alchemical items is definitely not something ordinary people can do.

Rollo once asked Professor Flitwick in the Charms class about the Invisible Stretch Charm. This spell can indeed effectively widen space, but the limit of size is ten times or a little more. Under such circumstances, the traceless stretching spell can only go so far, and there are still considerable safety risks.

The effectiveness of this spell is often unstable. If there are no frequent and regular reinforcement spells, then the expanded space may collapse. Without protection, damage inside and outside the space can easily lead to the collapse of the spell. .

If the outer surface of the container is made of relatively fragile fabric, then when the spell fails, the bag will most likely be burst by a large amount of things that cannot fit in. Under normal circumstances, there will be few casualties.

But once the container is replaced by a hard object, such as a car trunk or a travel suitcase, a fragmentation bomb will appear instantly the moment the storage space fails.

When there are no legal provisions, many wizards choose to use magic to expand their homes. Although this is more spacious and convenient, every year, careless people are flying around in the suddenly reduced space in their sleep. Objects smash, crush, and explode buildings often comparable to bomb explosions.

This forced the Ministry of Magic to stipulate that the Seamless Extension Spell cannot be used to expand the space of a fixed residence. Only tents made of soft fabrics and items such as small-capacity purses are allowed. In this way, even if the magic fails, it will cause The danger won't be too great.

Of course, if you are willing to spend a lot of money to have a highly skilled alchemist carve a permanent or semi-permanent alchemical magic circle for your storage container to stabilize the space effectively for a long time, then this approach is also allowed. You only need to After the production is completed, it must be reported to the Ministry of Magic and passed the security inspection.

This is Newt's choice. He spends a lot of money and high annual maintenance costs to ensure that his suitcase zoo can run well. If one day Newt stops maintaining the suitcase and the magic suddenly fails, it is estimated that There won't be a single living creature within a few hundred meters.

The contents, which were hundreds of times larger than the actual volume of the box, were crushed and exploded in an instant. Just thinking about it, I could picture that tragic scene in my mind.

Nicoléme, who is already in seclusion, is the best alchemist in the world. Maybe one of them needs to be added at the end. He is the only powerful alchemist whose name Rollo currently knows. He can make Rollo's wish come true, but Rollo There was no way Law could have found him on his own and asked him to make this thing for him.

Nicolas Flamel, who had mastered the Midas touch, was the richest man in the world. At least in terms of gold, he never lacked.

Dumbledore was one of the only options for Rollo to contact Nicolas Flamel, and he was the most reliable choice. Nicolas Flamel could lend Dumbledore the Philosopher's Stone, and their friendship was self-evident. Metaphor.

This is the most fundamental reason why Rollo wants to ease the conflicts between the four major colleges and why he wants to help Harry. He can completely ignore Voldemort and get involved in things that have nothing to do with him. He has enough troubles already. The people who care about his power have not surfaced yet. Those damn guys are the ones that Rolo is afraid of.

Including what he is doing now, it is just to please Dumbledore. Even the establishment of the dragon training farm is mixed with some selfish motives, although even if it is not mixed, Rollo will still do it.

Before his own crisis is resolved, Rollo is willing to become a pragmatic egoist, selfless and dedicated to Hogwarts. What he is doing now is just a win-win situation.

However, a win-win between him and Hogwarts is destined to require someone to sacrifice for it.

Just like-

The expressions on the faces of the prefects and student union presidents who were shocked by the news thrown out by Rollo reached a consensus at this moment. The new school director cannot be hidden from others. Maybe the news has not been released yet, but as long as he goes If you ask around, it will be confirmed sooner or later.

They didn't think that Rollo would make such a joke on them. This joke was too big. If it was false, Rollo would be endlessly excluded and suppressed by Slytherin. Even if he changed houses, That doesn't help either.

The group of people looked at Rollo silently. A wise man would not make the second choice. It is wise to bow his head when it is time to bow his head. The little snakes of Slytherin know this well and they will not be stupid.

"You made a right choice." Luo Luo nodded slightly, he was happy to see this situation.

"Then now I will tell you what true honor is."

"The honor you think is the Academy Cup trophy, right? That golden trophy that symbolizes victory?"

Everyone nodded, this couldn't be easier.

"What I want to tell you is that honor is bestowed by others, and only merit recognized by others is the real honor."

"You have won the championship trophy for seven years, but the price you paid to obtain this trophy in seven years far exceeds the value of this trophy."

"You paid the price of trampling on Slytherin's pride and pride in exchange for this trophy that is not worth mentioning and is recognized by no one except you."

"Does Gryffindor think this trophy should be given to you? What about Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw?"

"Their answer was: No!"

"You can win by using low means, but you won't get their recognition. The honor that no one recognizes is just your own smug self-satisfaction."

"When you put these trophies in front of people's eyes, will they think Slytherin is awesome?"

"No, they just think that the Slytherins are invincible. They are a group of garbage and thieves who have soiled the trophy with dirty methods."

"You can think this is their jealousy, but remember, honor is not something you have the final say on, but something that only acquires value and has the attribute of honor after it is recognized by others."

"Because honor is meant to be shown to others!"

"But what do you show people? It's shameless and mean, and it's despicable without a bottom line. If I hadn't entered Slytherin, do you know what my first impression of Slytherin was?"

There was a hint of sarcasm on the corner of Luo Luo's mouth, an unabashed sarcasm.
