Chapter 183: Old Grievances at Hogwarts (24)
"No, no, no, of course not. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" Carl hurriedly denied it, he knew that if this matter involved Leah, then his daughter's impression in Miss Kate's mind would become worse, which showed that she did not have any respect for her teacher, but just regarded her as an ordinary teaching staff. Although Carl is not afraid of Phyllis, she is her daughter's teacher after all, and parents are always afraid of hindering their children in any way, "I also heard from Mr. Goldstein that his only grandson is studying at Hogwarts Ravenclaw House, and he is quite concerned about his precious grandson, who is probably the only heir." ”
"Oh, that's right." Phyllis nodded in understanding, "Leah did well in school. ”
Phyllis only said such an empty evaluation, looking at Karl's somewhat disappointed face, continued: "Her current performance is very much in line with her current identity, she doesn't need to be like Drake Malfoy, they are in a different environment. ”
Hearing this, Karl's face became even more ugly, Liya didn't need it, but couldn't, don't look at how much trouble they are making now, in fact, as far as the entire wizarding world is concerned, Ravenclaw doesn't have the meaning of wanting to rise as a whole, what's the use of Leah's jumping up and down in this case, it's better to be like now. Whether or not it has been the case since ancient times, but the long-term distance from the political core has left many Ravenclaws without the idea of chasing power, which is completely different from Slytherin, allowing pure-blood wizards to rule the wizarding world again has always been a Slytherin idea, and has received a lot of Slytherin support.
"It's going to get better." Carl said with a serious face, his tone was firm as if he could predict the future, but in Phyllis's opinion, this was just to cheer himself up, Carl was indeed a little less courageous than Voldemort, at this time Phyllis somewhat understood why there were so many Death Eaters who swore to follow Voldemort, he was indeed a person with a strong personality, and the decisions he made made made were intoxicated by anyone who was hungry for power.
Carl didn't wait for the cup of coffee to be ground and left, and Phyllis waited for the milk that Amy had warmed for her, perhaps because she couldn't sleep in bed now after sleeping on the couch for a while.
Carl wanted to lead Ravenclaw to the rise, but he didn't have much confidence in it, they were too late to come, there was no place for them, in the minds of wizards, Dumbledore or Voldemort were the leaders of the wizarding world, and Carl didn't even have the qualifications to be a candidate. He pinned his hopes on his daughter, but he didn't dare to be as cruel to his children as Lucius, he always had a love for Leah, so Leah's inner strength was the weakest among the four students, although she refused to admit it, but a large part of her strength came from her powerful father and her, the professor of the history of magic, but what was so bad about this? Neither Carl nor Leah are suitable candidates, and it is obvious that she is the only one who can really lead Ravenclaw against Dumbledore and Voldemort, but many people turn a blind eye to it and think of themselves as a young person in their early twenties, and what Phyllis needs to do now is to make them realize this clearly.
……
Although she said that she was not interested, Phyllis still chatted with these heads of the Ravenclaw House family in the past few days, and she had a lot of gains.
What Phyllis didn't expect was that the Goldstein family was actually the richest of these families, perhaps because they were born out of the Muggle family, Goldstein was more concerned about the accumulation of family assets, and he also paid more attention to the development of scientific and technological information in the Muggle world. In the wizarding world they are mainly involved in the raw materials industry such as herbs and rare ores, and in the Muggle world, they also have their own shipyard, a shipping company, and a precision instrument manufacturing company.
This kind of worth is one of the best in the wizarding world, but compared to the thriving family industry, the Goldstein family is too unprosperous. Both of Mr. Goldstein's sons died in the previous war.
"They were only in their twenties at the time, the age of impulsiveness, and because they were not used to seeing Voldemort and the Death Eaters poison the entire wizarding world, they went to the front line of the struggle and died on the battlefield." Mr. Nat Goldstein's voice trembled a little, but he still said it with firmness and seriousness, for it was a sad fact for him, a serious blow, but it did not break the old man's will, and he still sat upright, majestic and strong.
"That war really brought a lot of grief to this land." Phyllis said.
"I don't want to say anything about dying as it deserves." Mr. Goldstein sighed and said, "It seems to me that their death is not worth it, their death almost ruined the future of the entire family, but they are my sons, and I respect their wishes and ideas, and before they go to war, I asked, are you ready to die in battle?"
"You should have also heard that before entering the wizarding world, the Goldstein family was a nobleman, and a military nobleman, the status and prestige of the family were exchanged for the lives and blood of family members, the Goldstein family has never lacked people who died on the battlefield, believe me, my understanding of war is much deeper than yours.
"You young people who live in the peaceful years do not have an intuitive understanding of war, but think that fighting war is a very exciting and bloody thing, but in fact, war cannot bring any beauty, it can only bring pain, death and tears, and a strong heart that has been cocooned, these are what my father told me, he is a stubborn and eccentric fellow, as a wizard but took up a gun and participated in the First World War, according to him, participating in a terrible war is much more useful than studying at Hogwarts for a few years, On the battlefield, you can know the meaning of life and discover your inner strength, which is a quality that a successful person should have, and a strong wizard should have.
"He succeeded, and after a war, he became sharp and powerful, and kept the family's position and glory while Grindelwald was raging, but my sons failed, and they died in battle."
Seeing that Phyllis did not speak for a long time, Mr. Goldstein said: "I'm sorry to let you listen to this kind of boring chatter, that's how people are old, they like to reminisce, they like to talk about the past." ”
Phyllis hurriedly said, "No, your memories are a great treasure for us young people. ”
Mr. Goldstein glanced at Phyllis and said, "I know you, you're not a Ravenclaw. ”
Phyllis was stunned for a moment and said, "I really didn't go to Hogwarts for some reason, but I believe that if I got into that great school, I would be sorted into Ravenclaw......"
"That's not what I'm talking about." Mr. Goldstein interrupted her and said, "You're not a Ravenclaw, just like Voldemort isn't a Slytherin, and Dumbledore isn't a Gryffindor. ”
Phyllis smiled and said, "But there are many people who say that Headmaster Dumbledore is the greatest Gryffindor. ”
Goldstein shook his head and said, "That's because Gryffindor's opinion is in line with his heart, just like Slytherin is in line with Voldemort's mind, and Ravenclaw is in your mind, and other people, such as Carl, he belongs to Ravenclaw, he agrees with Ravenclaw's ideas and is willing to be reformed, but you are different, Ravenclaw is just a tool for you, you will not be influenced by your own tools." ”
Phyllis was a little embarrassed, and she didn't know how to pick it up, so she had to find a casual sentence and said, "Mr. Price may have a deeper understanding of Ravenclaw." ”
Mr. Goldstein smiled and said, "Don't be so restrained and careful, Carl is indeed a typical Ravenclaw, with Ravenclaw advantages and typical shortcomings, he thought he had overcome those shortcomings, but in fact he didn't, indecision is still engraved in his heart." In the past few years, Carl has jumped up and down very hard, hoping to win over Ravenclaw, and want all the wizards from Ravenclaw College to unite under his command, but he is doomed to failure. ”
"Why?" Phyllis tries to be natural, Carl and her thinking are similar, they are all about uniting Ravenclaw to form a force that will influence and change the situation of this war, and use this to increase their power in order to achieve the goal of controlling the wizarding world.
Yes, when Phyllis just entered this mission world, she made her purpose clear, to control the wizarding world, she did not forget her identity, she is a trialist of the seventh dimension, and she came here to perform a special mission, to protect the order here from completely collapse.
If she wanted to protect the order of the wizarding world, she had to control it, and she knew very well how destructive her opponents, the other trialists from the seventh dimension, could be, after all, she herself had led several times to destroy the order of the mission world. They are good at disguise, they are good at lying, they can be devout saints or heinous villains if needed, and they can quickly change in any role, they will lurk and act as a good partner, gaining the full trust of the inhabitants of the mission world, and then at the end of the mission, they will burn it all down with a single fire, so as to grab the maximum profit, regardless of whether the mission world lives or dies. Phyllis knew this process quite well, and knew that it was impossible for the wizards of this mission world to know what the trialists of the seventh space were, and she could not rely on words to convince them to cut down these destroyers as soon as possible. There is only one possibility, when they become the masters of this mission world, any trialists who enter this mission world will only have a dead end, and they will be strangled by the forces of the mission world without them gaining a firm foothold or even without any precautions.
Of course, this is ideal, but nine times out of ten in the world, it is unknown how far Phyllis will go, but now, the Mr. Goldstein says that his plan may be wrong. Although she has been living in this mission world for more than ten years, Phyllis has to admit that this time alone is not enough to have a clear understanding of a world, and if she really has any mistakes, she hopes to make up for it as soon as possible.
Mr. Goldstein took a sip of his beer, which, despite his age, was not accustomed to healthier beverages such as tea or milk, and was fond of this Scottish butterbeer, which, of course, was very low at the family's urging.
Mr. Goldstein put down his glass and said, "Unlike Gryffindor and Slytherin, Ravenclaw has never had its own political advocacy, or its own core ideas, which has caused this house to never be as united and cohesive as Slytherin. Karl did have his own ideas, which were nothing more than between Dumbledore and Voldemort, but they could not attract widespread support. ”
Mr. Goldstein paused, pointed at Phyllis and said, "Your strategy is more perfect in comparison, Ravenclaw is certainly a basic game, but it is foolish to limit yourself to this circle, it is a smart move to absorb like-minded people from other houses, or to turn people from other houses into like-minded people." ”
Phyllis smiled embarrassedly and said, "I didn't think about it so much, I didn't think about it as deeply as Mr. Price, but I just think that some students are really good, they are seedlings worth cultivating, and teaching excellent students to become the greatest happiness of every teacher." ”
Mr. Goldstein picked up his glass again and said, "Anyway, your vision is wider than that of Carl's boy, and I sometimes wonder how you can have such a vision at such a young age." ”
Phyllis said: "Maybe it's the wisdom from history, in order to protect my safety, my parents locked me in the ancestral house, only when I became an adult can I go out, during that time I read the collection of books at home, and I am particularly interested in history, compared to other academic works, history can at least be seen as a story, read more, I also have a feeling, not that there is a saying that there is nothing new in the world, history has taught me a lot, so that I have taken a lot of detours." ”
Mr. Goldstein said: "History is like a gold mine, but few people can make real money from it, and it makes sense for Hogwarts to make the history of magic a compulsory subject, but it is estimated that children who are in the stage of activity cannot understand this painstaking effort."
