Chapter 579: Wrong Route
Throughout breakfast, the students in the cafeteria whispered about the latest announcement on the bulletin board. Among them, the most heated discussion was the students of the Lion Academy and the Snake Academy, because this incident directly affected the two houses.
There are three announcements this morning.
The first was a two-week lockdown for Harry Potter, Hermione Granger, and Ron Weasley, and three days for Ginny Weasley.
The second was the removal of Harry Potter and Hermione Granger as president of the student council, and the removal of Ron Weasley from his position as Gryffindor 7th year prefect.
The third is with Neville Longbottom and Daphne Greengrass each taking the new Student Council Presidents, and Seamus Finigan as the new Gryffindor 7th Year Prefect.
Naturally, the Snake Academy was celebrating the emergence of a student council president in their college, and they even thought that they would be discriminated against for reasons outside of school this year, but it didn't happen.
For the first time, winning a Gryffindor in a Quidditch tournament in the past few years, and getting a student council president, the two joys overlapped each other, and this double joy brought more and more joy.
While some were a little unhappy about giving such an important position to a Slytherin in the current situation, Zhang knew that Daphne Greengrass and her sister were already obedient to Professor McGonagall because they were undergoing treatment in secret. As long as Professor McGonagall sticks to her decision, there really is no one in the university who can object to the appointment.
There's nothing wrong with Neville's side, since the plant vs. Death Eaters at the beginning of the school year, Neville's reputation has been going up one by one. As long as Zhang doesn't stand up and fight him, he is the best choice in the case of Harry and Ron overturning. And now Neville is starting to get handsome.
And it is not a problem for Seamus to be a prefect, after all, the Lion Academy has promised not to use Seamus "Explosive Maniac" in school fights first.
As for the four who were punished, Zhang Xu also had points in his heart. They have been imprisoned for so long because of the combined punishment for both crimes. The last time I used a time-turner to waste this, it was Harry who played the family card, which made Professor McGonagall soft-hearted, and the matter could not be exposed, so McGonagall put the punishment on hold first, and then punished him again if he made a mistake in the future. Therefore, Zhang Xu has been cautious during this time, and he must ask for leave whenever he goes out, even if he comes back late, he will not spend the night outside, for fear that he will be unlucky if he has a handle in the hands of Professor McGonagall.
The details of Harry's crime this time Zhang Xu still don't know, but he can guess from the black faces of Professor McGonagall, Lupin, and Blake in the professorship, as well as the recent events, that they are big this time.
Today's first class was a Charms class, and before class, Zhang Xu asked Professor Flitwick for news, and Professor Flitwick briefly told him what happened in the early hours of this morning. After listening to Professor Flitwick's story, Zhang Xu took out a little pepper in front of the professor, took a puff, and then sneezed violently.
"Professor, I have a cold, I want to take a leave of absence to rest, I want to be quiet."
"Go ahead, pay attention to your body."

Anthony, who was sitting behind the desk in the front row, and several of them held up signs one after another to rate the exaggerated acting skills of the two.

After leaving the classroom, Zhang Xu came to Dumbledore's grave and sat cross-legged on the snow, reflecting deeply on the incident of Harry's trio walking alone.
"You're skipping class?" Grindelwald appeared behind Zhang Xu and said in a playful tone, "If I arrest you back now, how many points will your academy deduct?" ”
"I'm taking a leave of absence." Zhang Xu replied.
"Are you here to cool off for a while, or are you here to accompany me, an old man?" Grindelwald asked.
"I suddenly discovered today that I disagree with Dumbledore on a number of matters." Zhang Xu said.
"It's kind of interesting." Grindelwald said.
"Your Excellency, do you say that history in the wizarding world was created by heroic wizards like Dumbledore and you, or by ordinary wizards?" Zhang Xu asked.
The incident of Harry walking alone in the early hours of this morning made Zhang Xu discover the differences between him and Dumbledore in the "Harry Potter Cultivation Plan".
In the goal of decapitating Voldemort, Zhang Xu and Dumbledore are the same. However, in terms of the guiding ideology of specific operations, Dumbledore taught Harry individual heroism, while Zhang Xu instilled collective heroism in Harry.
It is difficult to say who is right and who is wrong on the issue of the route, and we can only look at the position of the two sides first.
From Dumbledore's point of view, his ultimate goal was to kill Voldemort and leave the rest alone.
However, the biggest problem with this route is that the error tolerance rate is extremely low. If Harry had made a mistake while acting alone, he would have lost his life if he was alone. At that time, Voldemort will have no scruples, the morale of both sides will be even worse, and the situation will continue to erode, and it is estimated that there is no way to keep the altars and jars in the British wizarding world.
In the current form, Zhang Xu's position must follow the state. Otherwise, with his current situation, to put it mildly, he has made money and his wife, and if he is elegant, he has a double harvest of career and love, and he has no regrets to pat his ass back. It has nothing to do with him what the situation on the British side develops after he leaves, when his Dumbledore called, Dumbledore is gone, and he can't say anything if he wants to leave.
The position of the state now is that the magical society of England can be weakened, but not eroded. When the wizarding world is exposed, there is a still active and powerful British magical society in the west, which is better than being able to stand alone in the east against the pressure of the whole world.
After all, the current Britain is different from the European continent, which is still a pool of stagnant water, because there is a-stirring stick named Voldemort here, and he has muddied this pool of stagnant water in Britain, and it is difficult to expose it in the future. Unless Zhang can now say that the big guy in front of him is back in the rivers and lakes, the European side can drag it out.
Therefore, when Zhang Xu was educating Harry Potter, he chose the route of collective heroism with a high fault tolerance rate. This "collective" does not refer to the "Harry Trio" in the narrow sense of the word, but includes Hogwarts, the Northern Ministry of Magic, all the wizards who fought against Voldemort, and the British government. With the support of these forces, Harry was able to avoid defeat as much as possible, even after one or several failures, he was still able to run away in order to make a comeback, instead of being locked in the basement waiting for a miracle to happen. And as long as Harry's banner does not fall, Voldemort's actions will inevitably be contained, and with the morale in particular, the situation in Britain will not collapse out of control.
Under the influence of Zhang Xu, Harry also chose to believe in the power of the collective at first. But after a failure, Harry finally chose not to trust the Ministry of Magic and the British government again, but chose what he believed in the most in his heart, and that was his own power.
Before Grindelwald came over just now, Zhang Xu had already figured out why his route had failed. Because he made the mistake of dogmatism in this regard, he failed to objectively analyze the influence of the environment on a person.
When Harry entered the wizarding world, the stories he heard emphasized the power of Dumbledore and Voldemort, as if the entire history had been written by the two of them.
And when Dumbledore was educating Harry, he instilled in him from an early age that "you are Voldemort's nemesis, you are very good, and you are the one who killed Voldemort".
As a result, Harry had a notion in his heart that Voldemort's power was only in him alone, and that only he could do the work of destroying Voldemort, as long as he killed Voldemort, the next thing would be smooth, and Voldemort's minions would be vulnerable.
It is precisely because of this kind of self-confidence that Harry chose to go for the idea of recklessness when faced with difficulties.
As for correcting Harry's idea, Zhang Xu had already given up, for Harry at this age, he wouldn't have a long memory if he didn't let him suffer a little.
Grindelwald, who was standing not far from Zhang Xu, actually laughed out loud after listening to Zhang Xu's question.
"When he and I were younger, we both thought that we were the most outstanding wizards in the world, and that we could lead the world and change it." Grindelwald looked at Dumbledore's tomb and said, "But, when we got to it, we realized that we were only a few steps ahead of the man behind us. Even if there is no me on this road, there will be people who will stand up. ”
