Chapter 171: Old Grievances at Hogwarts (12)
Sajie closed her eyes, chewed on what Phyllis said, and said, "This will make the scale of this war even bigger." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ infoβ
Phyllis said: "But there is no way, if you want to get your status, you have to pay." β
"But it would have been an unnecessary effort. β
Phyllis said: "There is nothing unnecessary and unnecessary, the difference is just to want it or not, Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff just want to take on more responsibilities in the wizarding world, and of course, gain more benefits." β
Sajie chuckled and said, "This is just the delusion of some power-hungry people who will sacrifice anything, including the blood of innocents, for their rights. β
Phyllis said: "This is the unfounded speculation of you people, not all of us in Ravenclaw are really obsessed with the study of magic, and Hufflepuffs are not all willing to be ruled by others, most of them are like Gryffindor and Slytherin, hoping to live an ordinary life, and also hope that they can gain more rights, you know, wizards from these two colleges occupy more than half of the entire wizarding world, and more than half of the people are excluded from the scope of power, is this how it should be?" Who dictates that only the brave Gryffindors and the bloodline-minded Slytherins are qualified to rule the wizarding world? Ravenclaw students love the study of magic, as well as art and painting, but they don't have the subjective idea that they should be confined to the Tower and ignore the world. Joining the war was indeed initiated by some Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff thinkers, but they couldn't make much of a splash without the support of the masses. β
Sajie paced slowly by the lake and said, "You humans always like to fight for power, because of this ridiculous reason, how many large-scale wars have you all had, how many people have died, how much blood has been shed. β
"It's human nature, and it's one of the important reasons why people can develop, and now, can you tell me your plans?" β
Sajie looked at his own reflection in the lake and said, "You're right, being neutral in a war is a seemingly safe thing but actually taking a huge risk, we centaurs have the courage and strength to bet, but Miss Kate, are you the one worth betting?" β
Phyllis said proudly, "Of course, we will definitely succeed in the end." β
Sajie said, "Please prove it." As she spoke, she held her right hand weakly, and a bright starlight rose from her palm, and the starlight dispersed, forming a translucent cheetah.
"Detention of souls." Phyllis could see that the cheetah was a powerful magical creature before her death, and said, "Isn't it against your traditions and morals?" β
"This is my comrade-in-arms and my close companion, we follow ancient rituals and etiquette, and there is nothing unclean. β
Phyllis said nonchalantly, "Okay, I'm just asking. She drew her wand and slashed through the air, a line of golden magic words flashing and shattering into a translucent black spotted leopard, about the size of Sajie's.
Phyllis said, "This is what I built with magic, how about it?" β
Sajie's face was a little solemn, and she said, "Very good, I didn't expect your magic attainments to have reached this level." "Using magic to construct an image of a creature with combat power belongs to a faction of magic that has been almost lost, and the reason why it is lost is not that the magic of this faction is too weak, but that it is too difficult. The biggest feature of this faction is that you need to learn a special kind of magic script, which is different from the ancient magic script that Hogwarts students have to learn, this kind of magic itself has the power of magic, and if you learn this kind of magic script, you can construct different magic according to a specific grammar. This kind of magic is very difficult to learn, and the key is that at this stage, few people in the wizarding world have any understanding of this kind of magic script, and it is not even easy to find some information, and Phyllis also learned it because she found a few related notes from the seventh space.
Sajie waved his hand, and the starlight leopard dissipated, he had already seen the strength of the other party, and there was no need to really fight.
Sajie said: "You have strong strength, which is the basis of our cooperation, but whether to cooperate with you comprehensively requires the approval of the patriarch, which requires more observation. β
"It's your right and freedom," Phyllis said, "but I want to make it clear up front that the longer you observe, the lower your final gain, even if you make the right bet. β
Sajie smiled and said, "My people are not greedy people, we just want to live a peaceful life, and we don't want to get involved in your wizarding world, besides, even if we get a high profit, can we keep it?" β
Indeed, if Sajie leads her clan to join Phyllis's side now, Phyllis will definitely promise them a lot, and in the end they can get a lot, but they can't keep these rights, the rulers of the wizarding world in Britain are wizards, and they, the centaurs, are just marginalized races, and the entire wizarding world will not allow them to obtain too many rights that should belong to wizards.
This is a sober-minded fellow, Phyllis said, "Okay, I hope to have the opportunity to cooperate with you further, in order to show my sincerity, I have a message to you, Sirius Black, who is now wanted by the Ministry of Magic, the heinous and murderous villain who escaped from Azkaban, is hiding in the Forbidden Forest at this time, not too far from here, it seems that he hopes to infiltrate Hogwarts." β
Sajie frowned and said, "Then you plan to ......"
Phyllis said, "I'm confident in Hogwarts Castle's defenses, but this guy is a dangerous guy, so I'll tell the Ministry of Magic to get him back, it's not good for everyone to get away with it." β
"Inform the Ministry of Magic?" "You should know that the Ministry of Magic chose to use the Dementors to hunt down the fugitive, and if they knew that Black was in the Forbidden Forest, I'm afraid a large number of Dementors would break in." "Blake is a villain, but the Dementors aren't a good thing, and if you really want to bring them in, your own people will inevitably be disturbed.
Phyllis sighed and said, "There's no way around it. β
Sajie thought for a moment and said, "Can you please not tell the Ministry of Magic." β
"This ......" Phyllis was a little embarrassed.
Sajie said: "I will arrange for someone to expel Blake, please rest assured, he will not be able to stay in the Forbidden Forest any longer, he will lose the Forbidden Forest, a complicated and easy place to hide, he will be caught soon." β
Phyllis hesitated for a moment and said, "Okay, I trust your abilities, but I want to know about the final result." β
Sajie said: "Of course, I will inform you of the final result." β
Phyllis nodded, turned around and was about to leave, and after a few steps, she turned back and said, "Although it is a little rude, I still have to say that Blake is an extremely dangerous person, and his snooping on Hogwarts Castle has disturbed me, and I hope you can solve this matter as soon as possible." β
Sajie said, "I understand your concern, rest assured, in the Forbidden Forest, Blake will never be a match for our centaurs, so let's try to kill him." β
Phyllis said, "That's the best, thank you." β
Sajie bowed slightly and said, "I should thank you." β
Phyllis returned to Hogwarts Castle in a happy mood, and this time she was quite rewarding, getting a lot of useful information from Sirius, and also meeting a new friend on the centaur side.
As we entered October, the weather became a little cooler, especially after a somewhat bleak autumn rain, and the students changed into thicker autumn clothes. Although the temperature has dropped, the fiery Quidditch game has also begun, and the Quidditch teams of the four houses have begun to train desperately. Of course, not everyone is interested in Quidditch matches, such as Leah and Hermione, and the two girls met up in the library to do their homework that weekend.
They chose a secluded corner, and after an afternoon of struggle, they finally finished their homework for the day. The girls didn't choose to leave immediately, but picked up a random book from the bookshelf and looked through it, the quiet atmosphere here made people feel comfortable and relaxed, which could help them relieve the fatigue after a long time of homework, and of course, even if they were casually flipping through it, Hermione still picked up her notebook to take notes.
After hesitating for a moment, Leah said, "Hermione, I've heard a rumor before. β
Hermione buried her head in the book and said, "William told you that, right?" β
"What?" Leah froze, not knowing what Hermione meant.
Hermione said as she took notes, "You've never been interested in rumors among students, especially among students from other houses, and Draco doesn't have that kind of leisure, and only William, who likes to tell you about it, can only remember it." β
Leah smiled reluctantly and said, "Tell me something, I don't understand what you said." β
Hermione looked up and said, "Didn't you want to say that I was unhappy with Professor Kate's History of Magic class?" β
Seeing Hermione point it out so directly, Leah was a little embarrassed, and she said, "You already know. β
Hermione continued to look at the "Funny Spells" and said, "Of course I know, and I don't think I said anything wrong, compared to Professor Lupin's Defense Against the Dark Arts class, Professor Kate's History of Magic class is really boring, this is a fact, even if Professor Kate knew about it, she wouldn't care." With that, Hermione put down the book and said, "You didn't tell Professor Kate, did you?" β
Liya smiled awkwardly and said, "Of course not, I'm not the kind of person who likes to say bad things about people behind my back." β
Hermione said, "Well, trust me, Professor Kate won't care about this kind of thing, and if you go to the small report, it may cause the professor's displeasure." β
Leah said, "Then William ......"
Hermione said, "Obviously, he's trying to stir things up, this guy is a nuisance at all and always likes to do sneaky things. β
Leah fell silent and didn't speak again.
Seeing this, Hermione smiled and said, "What's wrong, depressed?" β
Leah sighed and said, "It's a little, William's plan has indeed come true to me, I've been struggling with his words for a long time, and I haven't known what to do." β
Hermione closed the book and said solemnly, "We are friends, we have been good friends since joining this history interest group, I can tell you what I think in my heart, Leah, you have been a little lazy during this time." β
Leah retorted, "Why, I have done every homework assigned by Professor Kate." β
Hermione said, "You did do the homework assigned by Professor Kate, but what about the professor who didn't assign it?" I don't know if you remember, but at the beginning of the school year, the four of us had a meeting, and at the party I said that Professor Kate gave me a list of 75 books in total, each of which was very obscure, and I only read three books in a summer vacation. The day after that meeting, Draco asked me for a copy of the list, and two weeks later, William asked me for a copy as well, and I had been waiting for you, but it had been more than a month and you had not come to me for this list. β
Leah's face turned red again, she hadn't thought about it before, and now that she remembered that Hermione had mentioned it at the party, she obviously wanted to share this list with everyone, but she didn't hear it.
Hermione sighed and said: "Actually, it's a bit inappropriate to say that you are slacking, you don't mean that you are too lazy to do it, but you don't realize that you need to do it, you should know better than me what you think, but in my opinion, you don't have a particularly specific and strong hope to achieve an ideal, you lack an inner motivation to drive you forward." β
Leah was silent for a long time, and said: "You're right, compared to you, I don't have any lofty ideals and ambitions, and I don't have any special desire to change anything, I think my life is pretty good now, I'm different from you, I've fallen behind." After saying the last sentence, Liya's expression was very lonely.
Hermione grabbed her hand and said, "Don't do that, you just need a while." β
"I'm already behind, and I don't want to try to catch up, Hermione, I'm actually ......"
Hermione interrupted her and said, "Don't tell me, don't tell me these things, once you tell me, you're really out." β
"I ......," Lia muttered, not knowing what to do.
Hermione said: "Professor Kate chose me, chose Draco, chose William, and also chose you, since he chose the four of us, it means that we are all people who meet her requirements, you only need a while, you will definitely find your true ideals." β
Leah shook her head and said, "I guess Professor Kate chose me mainly because of my family background. β
"Well......" Hermione sighed and said, "let me say what you want, what do you want to do so much, choosing you is choosing you, it doesn't matter why Professor Kate chose you." β
"It doesn't matter?" Leah repeated.
Hermione said, "Of course, it doesn't matter why, it's the result that matters, you're looking more and more like a typical Ravenclaw now, remember our conversation on the Hogwarts train a year ago?" A typical Ravenclaw will have all kinds of shortcomings, and what we have to do is to grow into a Hogwarts, a more perfect Hogwarts. (To be continued.) )
