Hogwarts' Wizarding Throne

The art of kingship is complex and simple, it is just a way of checks and balances.

This is just like the Thirty-Six Stratagems. Everyone knows at least a few of them, and it may be the best to use them flexibly.

And Vita's so-called art of kingship is not the traditional art of kingship.

After all, the person who is going to be Shaw's "father" has not yet laid a great kingdom for him to inherit.

Instead, he expects the "prince" to work hard and create a new era.

In the office.

Vita waved her hand to summon a blackboard and wrote on it with a magic wand.

-Leadership, control of power, and political tricks-

Then she began to speak.

"These three points are what I will teach in the next year, and these three points are divided into many subdivisions, and I will teach you little by little.

While teaching you, I will use how a powerful friend of mine conquered the Austrian Ministry of Magic in eight months without bloodshed fifty years ago as a model.

Add some examples of solving some of the troubles you are facing now, so that you can learn and apply them."

Shaw was secretly surprised.

Good guy, you secretly took over the Ministry of Magic in just eight months. That friend must be you!

Lucius and his people are really useless. They should all be sent to the Witch Party for further training.

Shor's attitude became more and more correct.

"Today, let's start with the leader's demeanor.

A leader does not necessarily require him to be elegant and noble, but he must have a strong personal charm and appeal. This attribute is rare. It seems to be innate, but it can actually be cultivated.

And Shaw, your elegant demeanor is actually very good.

But true elegance is not these metaphysical behavioral dogmas, not a stereotyped style, but a kind of calmness from the heart.

Don't be anxious when encountering major events, and don't panic when encountering accidents.

Always keep a calm mind and a steady look in your eyes, so that you can give your subordinates confidence, and you can deal with various situations in an orderly manner, and even turn danger into safety and defeat into victory.

…….

Inspiring lines can be memorized, and infectious speeches can also be acquired, and the methods are different.

Just now you heard It's one of my piano pieces, so the method I teach you is to blend the rhythm of music into your speech, and blend the empathy you need at the time into your voice, whether it's exciting, bewitching, or gentle.

….

But no matter how it changes, you must remember one mentality: the king sees all living things as a chessboard.

Every step should be expected and controlled, and the out-of-control must also be expected and can be reversed.

….

Well, let's stop here today. This is a magic atlas of the eyes of beasts, birds, and gentle animals.

In the future, you will look into those eyes for an hour every day, and make your eyes switch freely between domineering and gentle like jade. "

Shor carefully wrote down the last few notes on the notebook, and then took the magic atlas handed by Vita.

Flipping through it casually, he saw a goshawk with fierce eyes staring at him.

Thinking that this method is somewhat similar to the method of training eyes in ancient Chinese theaters, the effect is said to be very good.

Vita put away the teaching aids and looked at the sky. It was already noon.

"Sit down for a while. I'll make you lunch. Eat before you leave."

Without waiting for Xiao Er to refuse, Vita waved her hand again, and the furniture that was previously a delicate wine cabinet immediately began to transform into a multifunctional stove.

She walked over, took out a scarf and tied it around her waist, and began to cook French dishes with an indescribable kindness.

Xiao Er had already stood up, but his expression froze when he saw this, and then he sat back on the sofa.

He glanced at Vita who was making lunch. Although her movements were elegant, he could see that she didn't often cook for herself, but her expression was focused, very attentive, and she enjoyed it.

He exhaled, suppressed the awkward feeling, and looked down at the notes he had just made.

After a while, he suddenly had some insights.

What ordinary people lack is not money or opportunities, but a "teacher", and this "teacher" is not the teacher who teaches you knowledge in school.

But the guide who teaches you to break the rigid thinking.

Before, I tried to be a superior person based on my feelings, and I would show my weakness from time to time. It was because my strength was much higher than that of other young wizards that I didn't cause any bad consequences.

If it were a group of elite wizards, I guess they really couldn't control the situation.

Now, after Vita's counseling, he suddenly became enlightened.

The only bad thing is that I have too much to learn.

No wonder those real noble children, especially heirs, have received all kinds of elite education since they were sensible, and they can only learn much more than ordinary people.

Those ostentatious dudes who are just treated as parasites cannot represent the family's reputation and future.

Ahem, I guess this kind of dude is what most people want to do.

Shaw was reviewing while thinking about random things,After an unknown amount of time, Vita's voice came.

"Shor, come and have lunch."

Shor looked up and saw several dishes on the table.

He had been in Europe for several years. Although he was not used to the dishes here, he could basically recognize them all.

There were two servings of the dishes on the table, including cream of mushroom soup, beef stew with red wine, pan-fried foie gras, and some bread, grilled sausages and milk.

The color and taste were quite good.

Shor got up and came to the table. He was a little embarrassed for a while.

People's kindness is actually the most difficult to accept.

At first, Shaw thought that Vita's offer to be his surrogate mother was just a means to get closer to him and make him more receptive to teaching.

It was natural for him to feel at ease. Everyone had their own goals.

But why did he feel that Vita was serious?

Seeing Shaw in a daze, Vita came over and gently pressed him to the seat, saying in a kind tone.

"Sit down. By the way, I know you like Chinese food, but I just learned to cook. I can't make French baked snails and scallops, so this is the only way. Try it. It should taste good."

Vita sat down at the other end of the table. She was afraid that Shaw would be embarrassed, so she started eating first.

Shaw picked up the knife and fork stiffly, but remembered Vita's previous teachings and remained calm at all times.

He quickly adjusted his mentality, and under Vita's kind eyes from time to time, he soon ate normally, and occasionally smiled back.

Both of them have the good habit of not talking while eating or sleeping, and the lunch atmosphere is quiet and peaceful.

After the meal.

Shaw was called back to the sofa by Vita again.

Vita made tea for Shaw and asked.

"Tell me one of your most troublesome problems recently, and I will discuss it with you."

Shaw had a lot of troubles, but after thinking about the conversation with Snape last night, he chose this more urgent one to ask.

"Professor, how can I reduce Headmaster Dumbledore's vigilance against me?"

Vita was not surprised by this question at all. She poured a cup of black tea for Shaw and then said with a smile.

"This is very simple. I won't give you a specific method. Let me give you an analogy. What kind of subordinates do you like? Then you should pretend to be the same in front of the headmaster.

Don't feel aggrieved. You are just one way in front of others and another way behind their backs. For the purpose of the goal, these are all necessary."
