Chapter 615 New Generation
In the end, Zhao Mai failed to help Ravenclaw Academy win the Academy Cup. The main reason is that he graduated early and his grades that year were not included in the college's score. The Ministry of Magic solemnly sent him a certificate of passing the Ultimate Wizarding Level Examination, and he no longer needed to go to school. But at the same time, he also received an appointment at Hogwarts School and will become a physical education teacher at Hogwarts. He can go to class at any time.
An interesting thing happened. I don't know whether it was intentional or a coincidence, but the school's letter of appointment came to Zhao Mai half a day before the graduation certificate. Although both were signed on May 4, 1919, the difference between one morning and one night allowed Zhao Mai to become a teacher in the school before graduating, which is also a record.
"Is the situation so tense? Once the graduation certificate comes, what will happen to the Ministry of Magic if I don't have a Hogwarts work permit?" Zhao Mai sat on the rocking chair in Dumbledore's office, shaking the poor boy back and forth vigorously. The chair creaked. The professor adjusted his glasses and tapped his fingers on the table. He did not answer the question, but his attitude clearly indicated the tension of the situation.
"You don't have to be so nervous with the Ministry of Magic. I understand your desire to ban the Oblivion Curse, but you should also consider strategies and methods." Dumbledore considered his words, and then said: "I have seen it before Your ability is indeed very powerful. Those in the Ministry of Magic think they have overestimated it, but in fact they still have little knowledge. But because of this, you should be more patient with idiots."
"Thank you. I really like hearing what you said. They are indeed a bunch of idiots." Zhao Mai stopped shaking and sat up straight, looking at Dumbledore with bright eyes. "Professor, if you have anything to say, just say it. I went out recently and wanted to understand a simple truth: I am very stupid, far from smart. I really want to learn some smart ways to avoid becoming a A bully with super-developed limbs but a far backward brain. I originally wanted to defeat the Ministry of Magic, but that kind of behavior seemed like terrorism... Oh, there is no such word at this time, let's replace it with saboteurs. But now that I think about it, My approach might have the opposite effect."
Dumbledore breathed a long sigh of relief, and seemed to feel relieved: "You are indeed lucky for the wizarding world to have such an idea. Let me put it bluntly. After my observation, I think that all means of force confrontation, Unless one party gives in, gives up, compromises, or collapses in the process, except for these situations, as long as you persist, the outcome can only be determined by force. If you show strength to the Ministry of Magic, the Ministry of Magic will show you that this person Compromise?"
"It makes sense. Then I will continue to strengthen my strength display, and then fight until the final direct collision. But I don't think I will lose in this battle."
Dumbledore shook his head and said: "Don't be overconfident. However, let's analyze it based on your certainty of victory. You won, and then. The Ministry of Magic was smashed by you, and the only order in the magical world was over. You Who can you rely on to promote your ideas? You only have yourself. Do you want to establish a king's strong rule? When you link your opposition to the Forgotten Curse with strong rule, that is when the Forgotten Curse gains political justice. There will always be someone who will Want to oppose you, and their best way is to use the Oblivion Curse. This kind of thing... is like a spring, whether you press it or pull it, it will rebound. Of course, if you have the ability to destroy the entire spring, such as completing The wizard hunting order of the Dark Ages is to kill all the magicians who can cast the Oblivion Curse, then your force method can be considered successful."
"What a great idea!" Zhao Mai looked cheerful on purpose, but Dumbledore knew he was joking and didn't cooperate with him at all. The professor smiled, took off his glasses and wiped them, his brows seemed to be waiting for something.
"Okay, I won't make a fuss. What you said is very likely to happen, especially if I show force at the current level, it may lead to the emergence of a powerful demon king. I will not promise to give up the use of force. But I am willing to try to see if there is a smarter way. Professor, if you ask me to come here, you must have an idea, and I am all ears!"
"Be your teacher well and teach your students well. The whole of Britain is Hogwarts, and Hogwarts is the future British wizarding world! After the World War, Britain was still the center of the world. Isn't the influence here greater than yours? How much greater force is there? What you lack is to really get serious and do something down-to-earth."
"Ha, you still want me to be a good teacher." Zhao Mai pondered for a moment and thought carefully about Dumbledore's suggestion. As an evergreen member of Hogwarts, Dumbledore gathered many like-minded friends around him from professor to principal, and even more students who convinced him. Although he does not hold any position in the Ministry of Magic, he has always had a strong influence on the wizarding world.
But on the other hand, his "power" is just that. It can only be regarded as a "club" level and has no decisive power. Objectively speaking, it may be that this method itself is not good, or it may be that Dumbledore himself does not like power and strength, and the latter may be more.
The Ministry of Magic of this generation is only at this level. Zhao Mai has already learned a lot about the stubbornness of the British. Changing them is a waste of his precious time. But changing the next generation, and through them, the next generation, seems worth doing.
This can be completely used as a supplementary means in addition to the threat of force. Coupled with the public opinion front, the three-pronged approach should be effective! Zhao Mai thought about it and realized that when he bought the newspaper, he had a vague awareness of targeting the next generation, but if it weren't for Dumbledore's awakening, he wouldn't have been able to form a clear understanding.
"You are actually very charming. People who know something about you are willing to listen to you. Whether it is Barbara or Jebo, they are all like this." Dumbledore said: "It is precisely because of seeing this. , so Principal Dippet and I both believe that you can be a good teacher. Hogwarts is not a refuge that accepts everyone. You have talents and abilities, and you also have knowledge and skills, don't waste them. "
"Professor, I have always had a question. You like to educate students, but what if the students have the temper of a devil and want to use force and evil means?"
"The assumption you mentioned is difficult to exist. Even if this student has a brain problem and is inherently bad, hasn't he also been around you as a teacher?" Dumbledore said: "If he can't love you , I’m afraid you can, you can always exert influence on him. It’s better than having no influence and letting him go.”
Zhao Mai thought for a while and nodded.
