Chapter 121: You don't know Slytherin
"I'm going to think about it, Severus," Dumbledore sighed, "believe me, I discovered this problem before you, and I've been thinking about it for decades and still haven't found a solution. ”
"Oh?" Severus raised an eyebrow and said mockingly, "Decades? Are you sure you're not eating honey? ”
"Otherwise, why hasn't it ever changed?"
"Well, Severus, I mean it, I noticed it back when Tom, that is, Voldemort, was in school, but alas, I didn't do it the right way." Dumbledore said seriously, "Even now, I still don't know how to teach Tom. ”
After a moment's pause, Dumbledore asked, "You don't seem surprised by Voldemort's identity?" ”
Severus said coldly, "Surprised by what? Tom. Riddle or his half-breed identity?! ”
"Or is there anything else that surprises me?!"
Dumbledore paused, unconsciously stood up and paced, "You are growing faster than I thought, and you know more than I thought. ”
Severus: "So what? Dumbledore, are you going to do anything to me? ”
Dumbledore: "No, of course not, Severus, you know, you're the one I trust the most!" ”
Severus: "Trust? Would you trust a Slytherin? ”
"Hehe~" Dumbledore chuckled, "I didn't think I'd trust a Slytherin. ”
"And what about the other Slytherins? Why don't you trust them? Severus looked at the white-bearded old man in front of him and said seriously, "You should understand what I mean, if you trusted them, there wouldn't be so many people following Voldemort, and there wouldn't even be Voldemort." ”
"You know the situation of Slytherin, even by default, discrimination, isolation, surveillance, repression"
"I don't know why you can be indifferent for decades, even the headmasters, but I can't stand it, Dumbledore, I can't stand my students being wrongly educated, absolutely not!"
Severus continued, his voice low and hoarse, "Especially the House Division!" Why can't Slytherins like Gryffindor? Why Slytherin is equated with Dark Wizards! ”
"Dumbledore, why?" Severus gasped involuntarily, his body tense.
"Severus, do you think of Lily again?" Dumbledore seemed to understand Severus' feelings.
"No, it's not just Lily, Dumbledore, you should know that for so many years, Slytherin and Gryffindor have rarely intermarried, and even had few friends, why can you ignore all this, and even take it for granted?!"
This is a question Severus has wanted to ask for a long time, and as a principal, shouldn't you think about the students in the whole school?
Why would the students of a school be divided into clear boundaries.
At first, Severus thought it was the Sorting House, but no, both Gryffindor and Slytherin actually got along well with Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff.
But Gryffindor and Slytherin became world enemies.
It is completely impossible to say that there is no guidance from the principal or even the previous principals.
It is impossible for a single hatred alone to create such a great estrangement!
There is no doubt that for Dumbledore, Slytherin does not necessarily mean his student, or even a student of Hogwarts!
“……”
Dumbledore had nothing to say,
These things are facts and cannot be argued.
Even he himself did unconsciously watch out for Slytherin, like Tom Riddle.
"For the current situation in Slytherin, Dumbledore, you, you, should be very responsible." Severus calmed down and continued, "Right now, the other three houses are ostracizing Slytherin, so Slytherin students follow Voldemort and are obsessed with dark arts, do you think Slytherin was born like this?" ”
"Sorry, Severus"
"Don't be sorry to me!" "You should remember that you are the principal, and you should take on the responsibilities of the principal, not do the work of politicians all day!" ”
Severus whispered, "I wish Hogwarts was more like a school, you know, there are a lot of Slytherins who think of it as home as I do, but you're pushing these kids out of the house!" ”
"When they come here with the anticipation of home, they are no different from the children of Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff, and it is you who ultimately distinguish them!"
Dumbledore remained silent for a moment before he said, "Some things aren't as simple as you think, Severus. ”
"A lot of things have deep historical roots, like to Slytherin." Dumbledore said slowly, "Severus, you must know that since ancient times, Slytherin's strength has been stronger than that of other houses, even now. ”
"So what? Is that why you're cracking down on Slytherin? Severus said in a low voice, none of which was enough to ease Severus, nor to calm Slytherin's depression.
"Of course, not only that, but most importantly because Slytherin is too dangerous," Dumbledore said slightly coldly, "If you look at some of the major events that have harmed the wizarding world, you will find that Severus, except for foreign races, is basically caused by Slytherin, dark wizards, pure-blood movements, even dragon beans, etc."
Dumbledore said solemnly, "They occupy most of the resources of the wizarding world, and once there is turmoil, the consequences will be very serious, so the successive headmasters will suppress Slytherin, for the sake of balance!" ”
"Snort~"
Severus sneered: "Dumbledore, I admit that what you said makes sense, Slytherin does have a big problem, just like I never deny it, most of the dark wizards, including Voldemort, they are all from Slytherin, and they have done a lot of things that harm the wizarding world. ”
"I never deny this~~"
Looking at Dumbledore's reassuring smile, Severus exclaimed, "But, Dumbledore, where are you doing this?" Is it the Headmaster or the Minister for Magic? ”
Severus sneered louder, "If it's for the sake of the safety of the wizarding world, then why don't you become ministers?" Why? ”
Severus snarled at Dumbledore, "You forgot, you are the headmaster, not the minister, and your responsibility is to teach them, not to divide them into hostile camps from the moment they first enter the school. ”
"You should care for them like a parent, instead of staring at them with suspicion all day long!"
"How many parents have you seen who would be disgusted with their children? Even when the child is still young, not sensible, and still needs education! ”
"Dumbledore, that's where I'm angry!"
"We call this place home, and you obviously don't see us as family."
Severus regained his composure, then said, "And, for Slytherin, it doesn't matter to be overwhelmed by everything, it's important not to be overwhelmed by everything. ”
"So, you've never crushed the Slytherins, but you've made the Slytherins resist even more fiercely."
"I'm not wrong, Dumbledore"
"You, you, never knew about Slytherin!"
~~
~~
Severus will never be overpowered, absolutely not!
Because you're holding him up!
