Chapter 2345 Surveillance
After this, it's business as usual.
Harry quickly turned his mind away from the boring Divination class and devoted himself to Quidditch training. Because of being disturbed by Ellie in the first year, he was selected into the Quidditch team by Professor McGonagall without exception. Instead, he joined the Quidditch team step by step in the second year. Of course, Harry got on the bar with Malfoy as a matter of course.
But none of this has anything to do with Ellie.
In fact, she was discussing another school issue with Dumbledore.
That is security.
so……………
"I don't know if you should approve of what you're doing, Miss Allie."
Dumbledore looked at the crystal ball in front of him with a complicated expression. This is Ellie's latest magic "everything". location, you can capture everything that happens there like a surveillance camera.
"It might make our students very uncomfortable."
"I don't see any problem with that, Headmaster Dumbledore."
Ellie didn't care about Dumbledore's statement at all.
"I don't plan to install these things in the toilet bathroom or dormitory, but I think Hogwarts students must behave in a normal wizarding manner in public, I don't care if they fuck in their private space or not. Fuck, but they should follow the rules in public... Isn't that what rules and laws are made for?"
"But we should trust the students..."
"If you can really do what you say, don't always secretly observe Harry Potter's every move like a perverted voyeur."
Ellie directly turned back, which made Dumbledore speechless for a while. Finally, he sighed softly.
"Miss Allie, you seem to hate me."
Want to play the emotional card if the reason is unreasonable? You think I'm that idiot Harry?
"Not only do I hate you, strictly speaking I hate all wizards."
Ellie didn't mean to deny that at all.
"In my opinion, wizards are parasites of human civilization. You are parasitic on human beings, but you look down on ordinary people and think you are great, but your life and death are not worth mentioning to human beings. Even if it ever happened After Voldemort, the wizards haven't changed at all... Frankly speaking, I am really disappointed in the wizarding world. All the wizards here, old and young, are just like you, exuding a sense of drowsiness. The taste of old age."
"hehe……………"
Hearing Ellie's merciless answer, Dumbledore chuckled and sat back on the chair again.
"I understand what you mean, Miss Ellie. But please believe me, I know what problems have occurred in the magic world, but it will not happen overnight to solve these problems..."
"Ah, I understand, petty-bourgeois socialism. On the one hand the desire to be among the bourgeoisie, and on the other hand the fear of falling into the proletarian position. On the one hand, the desire to take part in the leadership of public affairs in order to protect one's own interests, and the other on the one hand for fear that inappropriate confrontation would offend the rulers."
Having said that, Ellie crossed her hands and looked at Dumbledore with narrowed eyes. Dumbledore, on the other hand, scratched his head, seeming a little confused.
"I don't quite understand what you mean, Miss Allie."
"Although I don't like Voldemort's goal very much, I admire his style of action. No matter what his goal is, at least he has started to do it. And Principal Dumbledore, you are not as good as yours in this regard The enemy is so clear... Although I think it's useless to say this."
Having said that, Ellie glanced at Dumbledore again and looked away.
To be honest, Ellie doesn't think much of Dumbledore. Because after all, he is just an old school, full of bourgeois weakness and compromise. Voldemort made such a big fuss back then, Dumbledore could use this to completely suppress the status and power of pure-blood wizards in the magic world, and unite most wizards from Muggle families to overthrow the class of pure-blood wizards. But he didn't do anything in the end, which is what makes Ellie the most despised.
To put it bluntly, Dumbledore was still afraid of causing turmoil in the entire British magical world after all, so he did nothing. Originally, after Voldemort's failure at that time, most of the prominent and famous people in the wizarding world either died or remained hidden. As the beacon of the British wizarding world, this is Dumbledore's best chance.
But what did he do?
He didn't do anything, he didn't even set up a team following his will in Hogwarts on his own territory—of course, as an old-school wizard who hadn't undergone thought reform, Ellie didn't expect him to To understand the truth of class struggle. Perhaps in Dumbledore's narrow values, he still regards this war as a war between the "bad wizard" Voldemort and other good wizards oppressed by "bad wizards".
He didn't see that the reason why Voldemort made troubles was in the final analysis the class struggle between pure blood and mixed blood, and it was a naked oppression of one class oppressing another class after all. And this is an inevitable part of historical progress. Dumbledore pinned his hopes on the self-healing of the wizarding society rather than comprehensive reforms, which eventually led to the current situation.
If, after Voldemort was finished, Dumbledore could have used this opportunity to criticize blood theory, win over a large number of half-blood wizards, and express opposition and reforms to the social rule of pure-blood wizards, it would not have been Eleven years later, Voldemort When the comeback came, there was not even half a helper.
In the final analysis, Dumbledore is still a weak bourgeois compromiser after all, and the weakness and compromise of the bourgeoisie are clearly visible in him. More importantly, he clearly knew that Voldemort would be resurrected sooner or later, but he still let it go, pinning all his hopes on a savior.
In the final analysis, this is no different from eliminating the "bad king" and then hoping that the prince can become a "good king" and lead their people to live a happy and stable life. The option of overthrowing the entire system and making the king disappear completely...
"Forget it, it's useless to tell you these things. I just came to ask you, whether to install this? These crystal balls can be used as lamps to be embedded on the wall, so that if something happens, we can quickly Knowing the real situation without needing some troublesome spells such as Veritaserum Potion or Legilimency..."
"this……………"
"Boom boom boom!"
Just when Dumbledore was hesitating, there was a sudden knock on the door, and then a teacher rushed in.
"Professor Dumbledore, please come here quickly, something has happened!"
Hearing this, Dumbledore stood up hastily, and Ellie followed him and left the principal's office—in fact, she had already guessed what happened.
Sure enough, when Dumbledore and Ellie came to the door of Gryffindor College, they saw that the portrait that was originally used as the door of the room had been completely torn, and even the canvas was torn away. The fat lady who was originally on it It's even missing. Seeing this scene, Dumbledore frowned, then turned to Professor McGonagall beside him.
"We need to find the Fat Lady, Professor McGonagall, and immediately go to Mr. Filch and tell him to search every painting in the castle..."
"I don't think it's that much trouble."
However, before Dumbledore finished speaking, Ellie interrupted her. She picked up the wand and tapped it, and soon a beam of light was emitted from the wand, pointing to a painting on the ceiling. Everyone looked along the beam of light, and soon saw the fat lady hiding behind the hippopotamus.
Looking at the fat lady, Dumbledore also hurriedly asked.
"Fat lady, who did this?"
"Oh………………!"
The fat lady who was hiding behind the hippo poked her head out tremblingly, screaming uneasily.
"He has devilish eyes, and a soul as dark as his name. It's him, the headmaster, the man they're talking about. Here he is, right inside the castle! Sirius Black!"
"........."
Hearing this, Dumbledore's expression changed slightly, and then he looked at Professor McGonagall beside him again.
"Let everyone return to the auditorium immediately, and search the castle..."
Having said this, Dumbledore looked at Ellie and was silent for a moment.
"Miss Ellie, I allow you to install that magic device in various public places of the school. For the safety of the students, it seems that we have to make a small sacrifice."
"I really want to know, what did you sacrifice? Self-esteem?"
Hearing Dumbledore's answer, Ellie snorted softly, then turned and left.
After that, Dumbledore ordered all the students of the four colleges to spend the night in the auditorium, and the others and the ghosts conducted a comprehensive search of the entire Hogwarts—they found nothing of course, and Ellie Just after installing those magic crystal balls, she didn't expect that group of teachers to be able to catch Sirius.
But then again, Ellie remembered that joke again.
"Hagrid, say that again?"
"Hogwarts is the safest place."
"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!!!"
Almost killed people laughing.
Of course, after a whole night of tossing around, there was no result. Sirius Black was not in Hogwarts, and no one knew where he was hiding.
The next day, with a new painting on the stage, the students returned to their colleges to rest, and Harry quickly focused on this year's Quidditch match. The match was between him and Malfoy's Slytherin.
But the weather is not so good.
Looking at the violent storm outside, everyone gasped.
"Are we going to play in this weather?"
Harry couldn't help being a little puzzled. As an Englishman, he had also seen some football games at his uncle's house. In this kind of weather, 80% of the football games would definitely be suspended.
"Impossible, we can only play in this kind of weather, don't let those Slytherins look down on you."
"But in this weather, the audience may not even see our performance clearly."
Aliya looked a little frustrated. She raised her head and looked out of the umbrella, only to see that they couldn't even see the people on the viewing platform clearly in the howling wind mixed with the torrential rain. They could only barely distinguish them by the color of their cloaks. Which college do they belong to.
"Don't worry about it."
Wood seemed less anxious.
"Professor McGonagall told me just now that Mrs. Ellie invented a new magic that allows everyone to clearly see our performance...so we must perform better and don't make a fool of ourselves!"
While speaking, everyone walked into the arena in great strides.
At the same time, suddenly, dazzling fireworks erupted, shot straight into the sky, and then dispersed.
"Bang bang bang!!"
The flashing lights immediately ignited the enthusiasm of the audience in the auditorium. They shouted loudly and waved their hands vigorously. However, an even more surprising scene happened next.
I saw that the scattered fireworks gradually formed four rectangular, glass-like things that appeared in front of the auditorium, and then the figures of the players on both sides of the field appeared clearly on it—as if there were four transparent The camera is generally shooting them from different angles with different lenses.
"Wow!"
Seeing this scene, the cheers of the audience became more and more enthusiastic, and the Quidditch players below looked at the magnified image on the screen, and they were also taken aback by their clear appearance. Wood even forcibly resisted the urge to tremble, patted Harry on the shoulder forcefully, and shouted at the same time.
"Let's go, for Gryffindor!!!"
