Hogwarts: I am Harry's eldest cousin

I was only criticizing Gryffindor, why did you just drag in the remaining three houses?

Dudley's words aroused Dumbledore's interest: "Please tell me the reason."

Dudley did not answer directly, but asked back, "I have been in Hogwarts for several months, and I know these four houses more or less. For example: Gryffindor is brave, Ravenclaw is smart, Hufflepuff is loyal, and Slytherin is smart."

"Of course. Gryffindor is full of reckless people, Ravenclaw is full of dull people, Hufflepuff is a group of cowardly and useless people, and Slytherin is full of evil people."

"Professor Dumbledore, do you think so too?"

Dudley mentioned both the good and the bad aspects at once.

"Is not it?"

Dumbledore asked again, but with more interest on his face, he seemed to know what Dudley was going to say.

"of course not."

Dudley shook his head firmly, "There is a problem here. A big problem."

Gryffindor also has its share of scum who sell out their friends for personal gain, and Slytherin also has its share of righteous people who dare to resist Voldemort's tyranny.

Human beings are creatures with very complex emotions. They have more than just the personalities of the founders of the four academies, and their personalities change over time. Some people are very timid when they are young but very brave when they grow up. It is a very unscientific approach to divide young wizards into only four personality traits. Even magic cannot explain it because it is not rigorous enough, unless wizards can break away from the category of humans.

Neither science nor magic.

This is also the reason why after some wizards graduate, everyone thinks they are out of place in their academy.

"First of all, it's about the distribution of the colleges. For example, you, Professor Dumbledore, as far as I know, graduated from Gryffindor. But I don't see any Gryffindor recklessness in you. Based on your personal deeds, I am more inclined to believe that you are from the wise Ravenclaw."

Then Dudley briefly narrated Dumbledore's life, saying that he knew many non-human languages, including but not limited to Merman and Goblin, had a strong talent and achievement in alchemy, had collaborated with the world's top alchemist Nicolas Flamel many times, discovered the twelve uses of dragon's blood, etc., and defeated Gellert Grindelwald, the greatest dark wizard of the 19th century.

In fact, Dudley also concealed some content. According to his own personal perception, Dumbledore is more like a combination of Gryffindor, Ravenclaw and Slytherin. The original Headmaster Dumbledore got together with Grindelwald for some great interests. At that time, he was ambitious and capable. If it were not for his sister's accident, perhaps the entire wizarding world would have undergone earth-shaking changes.

Maybe good, maybe bad.

But it is certain that there will never be the greatest white wizard like the one we have today.

"I think so too." Snape sneered mercilessly: "Maybe his brain has undergone some kind of mutation?"

Dumbledore still ignored Snape, but just blinked at Dudley: "But I'm not dull, am I?"

Dudley suddenly asked, "The Sorting Hat, I think that thing should be with you, right? Professor Dumbledore."

As soon as he finished speaking, the distinctive voice of the Sorting Hat rang out in the principal's office: "Hey, little big guy, who are you calling a thing? I'm not a thing, I'm a great magic hat, and there's only one in the world."

Dudley followed its words and said, "Okay, Mr. Sorting Hat who is not a thing."

".I feel like you're scolding me."

Dudley did not respond, but asked: "If I remember correctly, you said when I put on the Sorting Hat that you would usually sort the little wizards according to their personalities, right?"

"That's right." The Sorting Hat admitted decisively and proudly: "I will follow the hearts of the little wizards."

"So can I understand that the Sorting Hat's allocation is not accurate at all?"

"Hey, that's a very rude thing to say."

He only complained but didn't refute, which showed that there was nothing wrong with what Dudley said.

"If it's not allowed, then there's no need to divide it into four colleges. This is really stupid."

Here we have to mention the historical background when the four giants established Hogwarts. It was an era of hunting wizards. In order to protect wizards from persecution by Muggles, they founded Hogwarts to preserve the bloodline of the wizarding world with the aim of passing on magic.

But that was a thousand years ago. The former asylum has now become the largest and best school in the European wizarding world. After so many years, Hogwarts should no longer be just a place to pass on magic and preserve bloodlines.

To put it nicely, it is called cultural inheritance; to put it bluntly, it is a lack of ambition.

Dividing it into four colleges now without necessity will only make it look out of place. Even if it is to be divided, it should not be determined by personality or characteristics.

Professions can be divided, but personalities cannot be divided. This is the foundation of being a human being and doing academic research.

"Four academies are meaningful. Perhaps there will be wizards who inherit the spirits of those four great beings."

Dudley's quotes and even his exploration of human character made Dumbledore no longer simply regard him as a child.

As for Snape? He had been teaching him for several months and had already thought so. He had regarded Dudley as Lily in her seventh year, of course only in potions. Why was it the seventh year? Because his memory of Lily ended there.

"But how many young wizards can inherit the spirits of the founders of the four academies? Most young wizards just want to live their lives in peace."

"I don't know if you have noticed that the atmosphere in Hogwarts is very bad, very bad, especially between the colleges."

Dali believes that dividing the college into four parts will definitely do more harm than good. First of all, it will cause conflicts between the colleges.

"Like Gryffindor and Slytherin."

Dudley gave a classic example.

"The relationship between the two is obviously hostile, which is also the main reason why it turned into today's incident. If I were not a Slytherin but a Gryffindor, then Hermione, who was close to me, would only be ignored because of her personality, and it would definitely not be bullying."

People only remember that Gryffindor and Slytherin parted ways because of differences in their ideologies. But who still remembers that Godric and Salazar were once best friends who shared life and death?

The Sorting Hat said that Slytherin is a mess, but what about Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, and Ravenclaw?

"And Hufflepuff."

How many young wizards refused to come to this college before coming to Hogwarts?

Before the sorting, Dudley heard from many young wizards that they were unwilling to go to this college.

Many people even equate Hufflepuff with mediocrity, labeling those who enter Hufflepuff as trash.

Hufflepuff is placed at the bottom of the Hogwarts School contempt chain.

So were the little wizards hostile or even contemptuous from the beginning?

But are Hufflepuffs really that bad?

"No, it became like this after the colleges were assigned."

"Cedric is from Hufflepuff's third year. As far as I know, he is the best wizard in the entire third year."

As I expected, the average subscription was less than half of the follow-up reading.

The results were as expected, without too many surprises. I thought you guys would let me update more frequently, but it seems that you guys don't. I'm so itchy, alas.

This one is a bonus for the monthly ticket.

By the way: Tomorrow the update will return to the old time of 8:30.

Chapter 83: Teaching without Discrimination (Part )

"After entering the four colleges, they were labeled according to their own characteristics. This is what I said at the beginning. In fact, there are still no conflicts between young wizards except in special circumstances. It's just that everyone does it, so I follow suit."

Secondly, this method also gives psychological hints to every student, especially during the sorting period, which is like hypnotizing every student who enters the school. Because you are not smart, you are in Hufflepuff. When you come to this college, you are given this psychological hint in your heart.

Maybe it's just that you tend to be honest and loyal?

You were assigned to Slytherin because you are power-hungry, calculating, and strong-willed.

"Look, this person is a Slytherin, so he is inherently evil, and as a righteous Gryffindor, he should teach them a lesson."

"Professor Dumbledore, how many people in Gryffindor feel this way about this situation?"

Taking the initiative to find fault and then having a few quarrels, don't you see that this is not creating confrontation?

And this is what is called human blind obedience.

In fact, Salazar's best friend Godric described him as 'a man with a sense of justice'.

The more you read the history of magic, the more ridiculous you will find the allocation of the four major colleges.

Hearing this, Snape nodded in agreement, but he would still have to deduct points from Gryffindor when teaching them in the future. This was a matter of principle.

"Are Slytherins really inherently evil?"

Dudley posed another question.

During the time that he was in Slytherin, apart from the fact that the people there were mean, mean, and liked to curry favor with the powerful, the overall situation was not as bad as he had imagined. Seniors like Carlo were quite reasonable.

As for the fact that Slytherin is evil because he learns dark magic, you can ask the Dark Lord if he knows more about this than the greatest white wizard.

It is not ruled out that some people are born bad, but those are extremely rare cases.

Slytherin's behavior of clinging to the powerful is more influenced by his family and environment.

The environment has a great impact on the growth of a young wizard.

It is not so much that the young wizards themselves possess these characteristics, but rather that after they enter these four academies, their thoughts gradually tend to the characteristics of the four academies.

If you stay in Slytherin or Gryffindor, and graduate a few years later, you will become different people even though you are the same person.

The story of Meng's mother moving three times undoubtedly proves how much influence the environment has on children.

Dudley's quotations from classics left a principal and a professor stunned, as these contents were things they had never thought of.

"As for the teaching philosophy of Hogwarts, I don't know what Professor Dumbledore thinks, but I strongly disagree with it."

The teachers at Hogwarts School generally do not care about the hostility of the four houses, as long as it is not shown too obviously. Most of the time, the approach they adopt is not knowing, not caring, and not stopping it. In other words, they do nothing.

However, inaction is indulgence! It is connivance!

This can easily breed dark things, and school violence or bullying will arise under such circumstances.

Studying at Hogwarts means receiving an education, but what is education?

"The fundamental purpose of education is to educate people!"

Education that only teaches knowledge but not morality is undoubtedly a failure.

Especially when young wizards enter Hogwarts, it is the time for them to rebuild their worldview.

Except for the winter and summer vacations, the young wizards spend much more time in Hogwarts than at home.

I had seven years to establish my three views, and they were all wasted.

Look at Slytherin, it's almost becoming a reserve camp for dark wizards.

Perhaps as long as someone gives the order, they will all join his side.

This is Hogwarts, the most famous magic school in Europe, which controls almost all the young wizards in Europe. People who come out of here actually defect to the enemy, and in large numbers.

Is this normal? Obviously not!

If you tell this to ordinary people, they will almost laugh their heads off.

Hogwarts seemed to teach a lot, but also seemed to do nothing.

You blame them for what they are doing wrong, but you don't teach them the right way to do it.

All in all, the conclusion is that these wizards are really uneducated and have no idea how to educate the next generation. Setting up a school only imparts knowledge but not teaches people how to behave.

The values ​​of the wizards trained are also mixed.

Maybe Dumbledore was a very powerful wizard, but unfortunately he was really not very good at teaching the next generation.

These words were very meaningful, causing Dumbledore to fall into deep thought again.

At this moment, he seemed to vaguely see the shadow of that person in Dudley.

He couldn't help but ask, "So what do you think we should do?"

Dumbledore had gone from being interested at first to being lost in thought. He was fascinated by what was being said.

Although I felt that Dudley was different when we first met, I didn't expect him to be so extraordinary.

If you ask Dudley, he will tell you that he is just standing on the shoulders of giants.

The things he talked about have existed for a long time.

"I have three strategies: top, middle and bottom."

"The best strategy is to break the rules, eliminate bad habits, prohibit discrimination, integrate the four colleges together, unify management and teaching, and eliminate the barriers between the four colleges."

“There is no discrimination without distinction!”

"Education is equal to everyone, regardless of their social status!"

"Every little wizard is an independent individual. Remove the labels from them!"

"We not only impart knowledge to them, but also teach them moral conduct, and truly cultivate an excellent next generation with all our heart."

The sound is sonorous and powerful.

As long as it succeeds, the wizards trained later will definitely be the backbone of the wizarding world.
