Hogwarts: Atypical Slytherin

The holiday ended quickly, and by the time Clowney returned to Hogwarts, the Great Hall was no longer filled with the Christmas atmosphere that it had been when he left.

After six months of constant adjustments and balance, Clooney finally officially adapted to the learning life at Hogwarts. Her life was finally not as busy as it was last semester, and every few weeks, she could choose to do nothing, or read some idle books, or hide alone by the lake to enjoy the breeze.

The study meeting is also in full swing. The first grade of Slytherin seems to be divided into two parts, one part is dominated by extreme purists, and the other part is dominated by students who follow the study club, but on the surface it is still extremely peaceful - after all, the study club is The members were only gathered together for the help of Clooney. From the outside, it seemed that Clooney had also integrated into Slytherin's uniform team of actions-if you exclude those who were friendly with her, The words of Gryffindor and Hufflepuff.

During this period of time, Clooney further investigated and sorted out the history of magic. During this period, she discovered a frightening fact: the pure-bloods may not have completely failed in the First Wizarding War.

Judging from the laws of historical development, if Voldemort had not suffered that dramatic failure, his era would have almost come. Clooney didn't know why the historical inevitability was influenced by a small prophecy, but it did block the inevitable development of Voldemort's power. Due to the failure of the First Wizarding War, almost all Voldemort's supporters went to Azkaban - their methods were cruel, and everyone's hands were almost stained with human blood, which caused his pure-blood group to fall apart. .

But strangely, the idea of ​​anti-pure bloodism has not completely become the mainstream in the wizarding world. This is completely inconsistent with the normal development of a post-war social environment - the complete destruction of a new power regime will inevitably lead to some of the ideas it advocates that are counter to the social environment to be further imprisoned in the language. If the ideas are in the era If he is not recognized, he will be labeled as a critic and will no longer be able to appear as a talking point in public.

At the same time, just like World War II in the Muggle world, no one in Germany during the World War dared to call Hitler by his first name. After the defeat of World War II, Hitler's name was not only mentioned repeatedly, It has even been criticized by all walks of life. But after the purist war in the wizarding world ended with Voldemort's defeat, people didn't even dare to call him by his name, but called him: "YOU KNOW WHO". From this perspective, Claudine had to add many speculations that she did not want to believe. But if all other possibilities are eliminated, the final result is the final answer.

"Voldemort may not be completely dead." Clowney thinks so, "Although I don't know what method he used, or what more unknown magical encounters he had. And the magical world's judgments about fate seem to be easier to influence. Society and individuals, but it’s so chilling.”

What makes Clooney even more uneasy is her understanding of the magical world: as a member of the secondary magical society, Clooney knows too little about the magical world and even magic. If Voldemort had not died, the wizarding society would have no understanding of the magical world. If pure-blood judgments are still spreading among pure-bloods with powerful magical powers that control resources - Clowney cannot imagine what might happen in the future.

Voldemort's past is not mentioned in almost all books. Crowney could only get very negative information about this blood radical from a few words in the book: he was dictatorial in his methods, very egotistical, and most importantly - he hated Muggles very much.

Ms. Daphne once told her that there is no such thing as unreasonable hatred in this world. If this sentence still holds true, Voldemort must have suffered unprecedented setbacks in his life because of "Muggles". Once such a person takes power in the wizarding world, it will not be a good thing for Britain. Clooney didn't know whether the war between wizards would eventually evolve into a war between Muggles and wizards, and the wizards' methods were not just light "Huomen opening" or "fluorescent flash", they involved They are deeper things, they can affect memory, will, and even emotions.

But no one can tell these inferences, not even Fred, George, Cedric, or even his parents. No one can tell Claudio these inferences.

"What should I do?" she asked herself while frantically absorbing knowledge related to magic like a tireless sponge. "The unknown will definitely bring fear to people. If people in the Muggle world understand this fact , there will definitely be extreme panic. If the people in power in the Muggle world learn about this fact, they may even take very extreme measures and actions."

But if they are parents who are involved in this, they will definitely be even more panicked and scared: they know the power of magic and the iron-blooded methods that Muggles have, but for an ordinary person, It's almost a dilemma. Mom and dad can neither freely come into contact with the magical world, nor can they make any suggestions for the Muggle world.

Clooney thought that she should think about this problem by herself.

"Am I an ordinary person?" Clowney asked himself.

Everyone hopes that they are born extraordinary, but when they grow up, they will find that they are not the protagonist of this world, and occasionally lose their fighting spirit because of this.

"But does everyone already have their accurate position in this world when they are born?" Clowney thought this way, "Every great man knows his future from birth, and will contribute to one or another major event and gain success. An achievement of this or that?”

"If I am extremely afraid of a certain outcome, and the outcome I fear will have a huge impact on me, and even endanger the place where I live, my family, my person, and even everyone including myself, Where is the life you cherish?”

"What should I do? Can I do anything? I should do nothing because I think I am just one of the many living beings, waiting for the wheel of history to move forward automatically because of someone or something. Push forward?”

"Can I influence history? Which direction is the direction of history? How can I clearly know the direction of history in a limited background?"

Or even, what if history requires a war between Muggles and wizards, and then in this war they find each other? Could it be that Clooney's worries are just like a drop in the ocean, unable to withstand any waves at all, and will not have any effect?

Clooney hated her curiosity. If she hadn't discovered these things on her own and analyzed the truth that was originally hidden in history and in the words and deeds of the people around her, she would have Now she is still the extremely happy child who has just come into contact with this wonderful magical world. She does not need to worry unreasonably about the Sword of Damocles that has not yet been formed. Although she knew that before she discovered the truth, she had already begun to vaguely warn about this violation, she still hated it.

Everyone can have a carefree time, so why should we cruelly tell her what she must do when she first starts to enjoy this unknown happiness?

In the worry and resentment day after day, Clooney got his wish and passed out during a study seminar with Cedric.

When she woke up, it was nearly a week later.

Mrs. Poppy from the school hospital found her awake and sat next to her worriedly: "What happened recently, kid? We even sent you to St. Mungo's, but they said you were healthy."

"Are you pushing yourself too hard?"

Clooney stared blankly at the condolences and cards placed beside his bed, and then returned his gaze to Ms. Poppy: "I forgot, Ms. Pomfrey, I don't remember what happened. What am I doing now?" I can’t remember either.”

Ms. Pomfrey sighed: "You have to take good care of your health, Miss Albert. You should take a good rest during this period. It may be a stress reaction caused by thinking too much."

"If you stay comatose for a few more days, we may have to notify your parents."

Clooney couldn't imagine how his parents would react if such a thing really happened.

"Anyway, I'll inform your teachers first." Madam Pomfrey said, "You can continue to rest for a while."

Madam Pomfrey placed the intelligence enhancer on Crowney's bedside and added: "Don't even think about reading at this time."

Crowney nodded blankly and sat up.

She really felt like she couldn't remember anything. Although now her brain felt more powerful and full of unknowns than ever before, the fear and annoyance that had been lingering on her for months seemed to have wings and flew to nowhere. She felt like the person who drank the elixir in the potion book now. Her mind seemed unwilling to think about the things that caused her pain.

She picked up the cards on the bedside. There were not only cards from Fred, George and Cedric, but also from Slytherin, Hufflepuff, Gryffindor, and even some cards that Claudio didn't even know. People you know. She unfolded the card and it read: Noelle Bagnall of Ravenclaw.

"Why are there Ravenclaws?" Clooney sat cross-legged on the hospital bed. "In my impression, there is no Ravenclaw who is close to me?"

She looked at the postcard from side to side, and a small clip she had seen from the Daily Prophet on Christmas Eve last year suddenly appeared in her mind: Next year, our Minister of Magic, Millicent Bagno, will retire honorably. , we will announce the results of the new round of Minister of Magic election at that time. We hereby wish Secretary Bagno a wonderful retirement career!
