The Pacifist Necromancer of Hogwarts

Chapter 81 Roger Davis’ Confidence

Okay, get out of class is over. Anthony inserted the statistical results into his lesson plan, By the way, Davis, do you have any classes later?

No, Professor, Roger Davis replied a little dazedly.

Anthony nodded: Then please stay for a while...well, I have something to do.

Okay. Roger said clearly, motioning for his friend who was waiting for him to go first.

The friend looked at him worriedly and whispered: I'll wait for you outside the classroom. Didn't you pass the last test?

Anthony smiled and said: Don't worry, just saying something irrelevant. I guarantee that Davis will appear at the Ravenclaw table intact.

The friend smiled sheepishly, reached out to take Roger's textbooks and notebooks, and helped him take them back to his dormitory in advance.

Anthony looked at them with a smile. Unlike his sister, it looks like Roger found some supportive friends at Hogwarts.

…

His friend walked out of the classroom and thoughtfully closed the door. The setting sun shone golden light through the dark clouds, illuminating the hair of this third-year Ravenclaw with a golden light, which rarely looked warm.

As soon as his friend left the classroom, Roger asked keenly: It's Tracy's business, right? He took the initiative and said, I've asked her to watch Quidditch training several times recently, and she would agree at first. But it seems to get annoying very quickly.”

Perhaps because he lost his mother when he was young, Roger is a very responsible brother. Not only did he plead with Anthony to stay focused on the matter, but he repeatedly tried to get Tracy to talk to him.

After chatting with him in the library last time, Roger began to visit the Slytherin cellar frequently, so frequently that Anthony even heard about it.

Professor Flitwick even thought that the players of his own house were besieging the captain of Slytherin - the last match between Ravenclaw and Slytherin was not pleasant - while Professor McGonagall felt that Roger was pursuing some girl. For the first time, Anthony knew that his colleague was so imaginative.

The truth was that he was trying to show concern by calling his sister to the Quidditch pitch.

…

Quidditch training? Anthony asked funnyly.

Roger nodded in distress: She was quite interested before. Professor, what happened to Tracy again?

Anthony shook his head, not intending to tell him that Tracy seemed to be taking a heavy dose of palliatives - he could see no point in doing so other than to add some annoyance to Roger.

I spoke to Professor Snape earlier, he said.

Roger looked at him nervously.

Anthony said frankly: Then I realized that I might have oversimplified the matter. You don't need to tell me the specific situation, Mr. Davis, I just want to remind you that Miss Davis may have some problems with the whole thing. We have very different views.”

If the head of Slytherin had that attitude, Anthony suspected that Miss Davis would have some similar considerations. It was her academy after all.

He didn't want to alienate the relationship between the Davis brothers and sisters because of his intervention.

You're right, Professor. Roger nodded and said confidently, But I know Tracy - at least I know her when she was a child. As long as she knows that I care about her, no matter how annoying she is, she They won’t really ignore me.”

He said confidently: When I come back from this trip to the zoo, if everything goes well, I want to take her there. Unlike her other classmates, our father did not require us to be in the magical world. To get ahead... In fact, I don't think he cares too much about what we do in the future.

I'm very interested in teaching the natural history you talked about - I will probably travel around the world in the future and be a scholar who is knowledgeable but not expert. I want to become a naturalist in the magical world. If I can't do that, at least I will My magic can guarantee me an extra layer of security compared to other people when exploring the Muggle world. I believe I can do a good job. But no... I mean, I'm actually pretty good at Quidditch.

Of course, I believe Tracy can have more choices... but she seems not interested in this proposal. She told me that her goal is very clear, that is, she can live in the magical world without relying on her father. It would be better if she had a coveted job. She didn't care what she had to go through to get there.

Anthony asked gently: She has made it very clear, what do you think?

Roger said optimistically: If she doesn't want to rely on her father, I will try hard to make her find that she can rely on me. I think she just lacks some sense of security...I can't blame her for thinking this way. Professor, you know how my father is To us.”

Anthony looked at him. Even when it comes to his father's indifference, Roger's eyes still shine with confidence and hope.

He couldn't help but think of the sorting criteria that Professor McGonagall told him. He once curiously asked during a tea break how the Sorting Hat could decide the students' lifestyle for the next seven years in just a few minutes or even seconds - as far as he knew, unlike Muggle universities, There is no possibility of changing houses at Hogwarts.

Generally speaking, it is through their hidden yearnings. Professor McGonagall told him, Ravenclaw students respect knowledge and wisdom and are full of curiosity; Gryffindor values ​​inner courage; Slytherin values ​​shrewdness and Power; and Hufflepuff... She looked at Professor Sprout for help.

Professor Sprout added with hidden pride: Hufflepuff is a tolerant and kind house. We accept all the little wizards who are at a loss. The only hope is to make them good people.

…

Seeing Roger's confidence in the future, Anthony understood at this moment why he was in Ravenclaw while Tracey went to Slytherin.

With his love for knowledge and wisdom, Roger believed that he could find a job he liked, whether in the magical world or the Muggle world, and believed that the satisfaction brought by knowledge would be enough to support his future happiness.

But not Tracy.

Tracy and Snape believed in the same path - she needed the power to take control of her life - she needed to take control of her emotions, take control of her future. Without this sense of control, she would feel swallowed up.

Under the last ray of golden light that penetrated the gloomy light gray clouds, Roger Davis's eyes looked particularly bright with hope for the future.

When seeing him off, Anthony sincerely wished him good luck.

He was quite willing to believe the future that Roger had described, even if he did not feel that Miss Davis had the same confidence in it.

Anthony looked out the window. The sun has gone down. In the distant mountains, a dark purple color is slowly rising.

I'm going to see the meteor shower tonight with my friends. The update will be late tomorrow, but at least it will be one. If you can't double update, you'll have to make up for it the day after tomorrow.
