Chapter 387 The Rescue Team
"Ahem," Xie Lin coughed a few times, a guilty expression flashed across his face, "I admit that I didn't do a very good job with Eleanor, but you don't have to think of me. Stallion, okay? Not every girl who is good-looking and has a relationship with me will be included in my harem."
"Tsk tsk, harem...this word is used well..." Daphne said with a half-smile.
"Okay, okay...I surrender," Xie Linping raised his hands in a gesture of surrender and said, "Hermione and I have an absolutely innocent relationship. She did express her affection for me, but I rejected her—— In fact, she is one of the people Dumbledore values most. She is the IQ person he selected for Harry's salvation team. She will definitely enter the core of the Order of the Phoenix in the future. We only have the same stance as me. There are constant conflicts.”
"Speaking of this, actually, I have always been puzzled," Daphne put away her playful attitude and said with a serious expression: "Didn't Dumbledore's purpose in forming the Order of the Phoenix be to defeat the Dark Lord? Why did Dumbledore do this? Choose Granger?"
As mentioned before, although the Order of the Phoenix is not known to the general public, its existence is not a top secret. As long as the forces with a certain level of intelligence capabilities will know about the Order of the Phoenix.
"Dumbledore, hum -" Sherling said with a hint of disdain: "He once declined the position of Minister of Magic. On the surface, he has no attachment to power, but in fact, as the only principal of a magic school in Great Britain, he has It’s another invisible power…”
"What you're saying is..." Daphne said.
"Due to some things that happened when he was a boy, he was afraid of controlling power, but his political ideas have always influenced the young wizards who studied under his management - if you think about it carefully, over the years, Slytherin House is isolated and excluded from other houses. Is Dumbledore responsible for this?”
Daphne and Astoria suddenly remembered what the fifth-year prefect who was responsible for addressing the new Slytherin students said when they first entered school - whether it was Gemma Farley who addressed Daphne, or Gemma Farley who addressed the new students in Slytherin. Irina Selwyn, who delivered the speech from Astoria, although both of them are no longer in Hogwarts today, their dissatisfied tone and expressions at that time are still vivid in my mind——
"You may have heard some rumors about Slytherin House that we are all into the dark arts and will only associate with wizards from prominent families or similar..."
"We are supposed to be the coolest and most powerful house in this school. Because we insist on fighting for victory, because we value the honor and tradition of Slytherin. But this ambition to win is regarded as malicious by other houses. Unholy ambition..."
"We are not evil. We are like the symbol of Slytherin - the snake: sleek, powerful, but always misunderstood. This is simply the hatred and fear of the weak towards the strong..."
There are more, which I won’t go into details here.
Even Murray, who was from Ravenclaw, had heard the then prefect Penelope Crivard say all kinds of bad things about Slytherin during the freshman's speech, let alone those who were born in Glen. The little wizard of Fendo couldn't even say a good word about Slytherin.
Everything was just like what Gemma said at the time. Slytherin and Gryffindor are the two most powerful houses in the school. Gryffindor's ambition is no less than that of Slytherin. Over the past few centuries, the two There have been bullies and playboys in every house - why did the public opinion turn into a mischievous prank in Gryffindor, and a psychopathic dark magic experiment in Slytherin?
This is not Schelling's nonsense. Take Snape's era as an example. When Snape studied the Upside Down Curse, it was regarded by everyone as a dark behavior of studying black magic. But when James used it on Snape When wearing it, it turns into a fun prank.
You can say that this was a spontaneous act by the students, but with the entire school spirit out of control to this point, doesn't Dumbledore, as the most powerful administrator, have any responsibility?
At the very least, Dumbledore should not let James be the President of the Student Union. Otherwise, wouldn't this be a disguised form of encouraging colleges to use the black magic invented by Slytherin to bully Slytherin students? Well, looking back now, Dumbledore probably didn't do it on purpose at all.
At that time, Voldemort was recruiting henchmen and the war was about to begin. Compared with Snape, who had no power and no background, it was of course more important to win the support of the Potter family, whose grandfather was a senior member of the Wizengamot. Everything was important. It's for the greater good, isn't it?
Xie Lin looked at the expressions of the women and knew that they already understood what he meant, so he continued: "Dumbledore is a principled person. He has his own ideals in his heart, but he is more willing to influence the next generation through young wizards to fulfill his ideals, and the trio of saviors are exactly the ones he carefully selected, and they happen to be a pure-blood, a mixed-blood, and a Muggle..."
"Everyone can see his plain intentions -" Sherlin said eloquently: "Although Ron is a pure blood, his family is a pure blood traitor, and even his grandfather Thetymus... After Weasley married Cedrella Black, his grandmother was actually removed from the Black family..."
"Harry is a half-blood, but he grew up in the Muggle world. Dumbledore arranged that he would be completely cut off from the wizarding world. His knowledge of the wizarding world came from the first two wizards he met, Hagrid and Ron. My brother Draco had offered Harry a hand of friendship before school started but was rejected. Later, under the influence of Ron, he entered Gryffindor according to Dumbledore's plan... Many of his perceptions and ideas about the wizarding world were actually influenced by Ron without him realizing it..."
"As for Hermione, although she was born in a Muggle family, she has already formed a fixed understanding of the wizarding world through a lot of reading, and she is hungry for magical knowledge, which can make up for it. The other two members of the trio lack knowledge. Of course, she herself was raised by Muggles and influenced by Muggle thinking, which can also ensure that Harry will grow up in the direction that Dumbledore wants. "
"Although the savior trio was born to defeat Voldemort," Sherin's face gradually became indifferent, and he said calmly and frankly: "But looking at their views on wizards and Muggles, we can see that they actually perfectly inherited Dumbledore's ideas and are the next leaders of the wizarding world chosen by Dumbledore..."
"So, Dumbledore established the Order of the Phoenix," Sherin made the final conclusion, "It has never been just to defeat Voldemort..." (End of this chapter)
