Chapter 32 Transactions
In Solim's opinion, the teaching level of Hogwarts is not bad. Although the professors have reservations and don't teach the students everything, it is understandable.
You ask a doctoral tutor in the mathematics department to teach four arithmetic operations in elementary schools, and it is the same, which does not reflect any level at all. Because these students are at this age, they need time to consolidate and accumulate what they have learned. Blindly instilling knowledge will only teach a bunch of theorists and a bunch of academic wizards.
But if you want to be a good wizard, it is not enough to only have theory. Wizards pay more attention to practice. What's the use of you explaining the theory and method of using a spell well, but stopping when it's time to cast the spell?
In Solim's view, the biggest problem with Hogwarts is not the level of teaching, but Hogwarts does not set a goal for students.
In Schuyler, the students all know what they will face in the future, know the suffering they have suffered, and the reason for the torture they have suffered. They all know what their goals are and the meaning of their existence. But Hogwarts is different. It only teaches students magic, and does not help students establish their outlook on life and values.
To put it bluntly, Hogwarts has no ideological and moral classes.
How to guide students on the right path, how to be a decent wizard, how to strengthen students' ideological construction, none of these. Wouldn't it be foreseeable that there would be some crooked wizards who would go on evil paths?
Especially in Slytherin, where most of the little wizards are pure blood. They have been exposed to extreme pure-blood theory very early, and the school will not correct their thinking and correct their attitudes. It's not bad that there has only been one wizard like Voldemort in so many years.
Dumbledore fell into deep thought after hearing Solim's words.
"Indeed, as you said, the school is not doing enough to guide students on the right path." Dumbledore said heavily.
Not enough? It's not okay at all.
"Now that you've noticed the problem, do you have any solutions?" Dumbledore looked at Solim.
Obviously we were talking about Horcruxes just now, why did the topic go astray to the students' ideological construction? Is it possible that they should go to see Mao Xuan and Ma Zhe?
What a joke, this kind of thing should be something you principals, deans, and professors should worry about, why are you asking me.
"Isn't the topic a bit off topic? Principal, we are obviously talking about the very serious matter of Horcruxes, can we not go off topic?" It's so late, who wants to go on and on here, Solim just heard Snape Yawned.
"How to guide students on the right path is also a serious topic." Dumbledore paused, "However, compared to things more like Horcruxes, we can indeed put them down first."
Dumbledore sat back in his high-backed chair, put his hands together and said, "Can I ask you something, Solim?"
Seeing that Solim didn't speak, Dumbledore continued: "Since you already know about the Philosopher's Stone, can you help Harry at the right time?"
"If you mean helping them with breakout games, principal, I can accept that," Solim added, "but I don't do free work."
Both Dumbledore and Solim knew very well that the Philosopher's Stone could never be stolen. Taking a step back, even if the Philosopher's Stone was really stolen, Dumbledore would of course face pressure from the Council of Elders, but the bigger trouble was directed at the wizard who stole the Philosopher's Stone. If you dare to play the Philosopher's Stone, you must be prepared to face the Presbyterian Action Team. This is much more exciting than meeting Death Eaters chasing and killing.
Since the Sorcerer's Stone will basically not be stolen, there is no need to worry too much about the design of the level. As long as the first level and the last level are closed, the snacks are enough. The first level is to prevent the students from entering, mainly to block the footsteps of Gryffindor's gang of troublemakers. The middle level can be done casually. The key is the last level. , just make sure the Philosopher's Stone doesn't fall into the wrong hands.
And Dumbledore also has the mind of exercising Harry Potter in it. So these levels are not designed to be too difficult, in other words, this is the level designed for Harry Potter.
"I don't have any particular thoughts about that savior. To be honest, I think it's right to keep a proper distance between us. I don't want to get involved in Harry Potter's affairs at will, but for your request, Headmaster , I think we still have some places where we can cooperate.”
"Principal, you must have investigated everything about me. You also know what I have done and what kind of trouble those things will cause me. You can let me come to Hogwarts, I thank you. This The message contained in the ring is my thank you, by the way, I will use this ring in a while, and I will return it to my grandfather after I use it up." Solim said this to remind Dumbledore that I will return it myself. Shit, there are people outside of school who want to deal with me, keeping a distance from Potter is the right thing to do. Besides, don't "lose" the resurrection stone, I will take it back when the time comes.
"Now this ring is still a Horcrux. Although Elrond has dealt with it so that it cannot confuse wizards who approach it, it is still very dangerous. Also, can you tell me that you want to use this What is the ring for?" Dumbledore frowned when he heard that Solim was going to use the ring.
The topic about Potter just now has been taken awry again.
"The ring of the Gaunt family is the resurrection stone. As long as it is used correctly, the soul or consciousness of the dead can be recalled." Seeing what Dumbledore wanted to say, Solim waved his hand and continued: "It is 'use it correctly' , Principal, if you don’t know how to use it correctly, then the ring only summons the person in the user’s memory, it looks real, but it’s actually an illusion.”
He turned his head and glanced at Snape, who was still a wooden figure by the wall. Solim said, "I promised Professor Snape that he would meet Evans."
Dumbledore thought for a while and said, "So, the potion that Severus prepared is actually for your sister, right? Argus is just an experimental product."
Snape brewed the potion, maybe Dumbledore didn't know. But Dumbledore must have noticed Filch's changes. A great wizard like Dumbledore is extremely sensitive to magic.
"By the way, principal, can the school provide Mr. Filch with the follow-up potion? He has already come to me." Dumbledore was left to settle the matter of Ilch. Anyway, it will be Hogwarts who pays, Snape will suffer, and Solim will sell Filch a favor, which is great.
As for whether Dumbledore would leave Filch alone? Solim hadn't considered this issue, and Dumbledore could have solved Filch's problem by simply taking a few bucks out of the funds allocated by the board of directors. Anyway, he has to do something with the funds every year, and Dumbledore must be very familiar with this business.
Seeing that Dumbledore didn't speak, Solim took it for granted.
"As for the matter you asked me to help Potter, Headmaster, I can help, but as I said just now, I won't work for nothing."
"Oh? Then what do you want?"
Solim said in his heart, I want more things. The tears of the phoenix, the blood of the phoenix, the feathers of the phoenix, the ashes of the phoenix after nirvana, I want them all.
But is it possible? Transactions are all about equality. Can such a small favor for Potter be compared with the rare materials on those phoenixes? This is the same as when you did a mission to deliver a letter in Novice Village, and the mission reward was an orange outfit, is it possible? So no matter how thick-skinned Solim was, he couldn't brazenly ask Dumbledore for things from Phoenix.
"At that time, I will mention it to you, the principal. Don't worry, I won't embarrass you." Solim said in his heart that he should let you owe it first. I'll tell you when I think it over.
"It looks like you have a pretty good idea who's behind the Sorcerer's Stone. May I think so?" Dumbledore asked a question out of the blue.
Solim froze for a moment, he didn't expect Dumbledore to ask him such a question out of the blue. But he quickly reacted.
"Speaking of which, Headmaster, don't you want to save that brave wizard?" Solim asked Dumbledore back, "Or do you think it's unnecessary?"
Dumbledore really didn't expect Solim to say that to him.
There was something wrong with Quirrell, and this couldn't be hidden from Dumbledore at all. Don't forget, at the school dinner, the distance between them was only two or three people. After all, Snape could feel what was wrong with Quirrell, let alone Dumbledore .
"It seems that this matter has not been hidden from you from inside to outside, Solim." This was the third time that Dumbledore looked seriously at the student in front of him.
"To put it bluntly, I'm not one of those dumb Gryffindors. Only Gryffindors would think that our Headmaster wanted to kill Potter." Solim said something heart-rending.
Look at all the idiots in Gryffindor, they believed someone was going to kill Potter in full view.
"Let's do it first, principal, it's really getting late, I should go back. Tomorrow morning is Professor Flitwick's Charms class. I don't want to be late for class." Solim said I wanted to sleep.
"I think you and our headmaster still have something to say, so I'll go back by myself, don't worry, I won't run around." Solim left without waiting for Dumbledore to express his opinion.
It wasn't very polite, Solim himself admitted, but he had just thought of a long-forgotten question that he urgently needed to go back and look up.
Just when Dumbledore asked Solim what he wanted, Solim suddenly remembered one thing he had missed. Sometimes people are like this, and sometimes when they are talking, they suddenly think of something.
Solim too, for some reason, just at that moment, he suddenly remembered Neville's toad that disappeared on the train. The reason why he left so impolitely now is to go back and look at the Marauder's Map as soon as possible, to make sure that there is no strange name in the school. Although in Solim's impression, the toad didn't seem to have any sense of existence, whether it was in the movie or in the novel, it was just a flash in the pan. But now Solim wasn't sure that the toad was just a toad - at least until he caught it.
Watching Solim leave in a hurry, Dumbledore smiled, but didn't say anything. Instead, he turned to Snape and said, "Severus, it seems your student has a lot of little secrets."
