Chapter 947: The worst headmaster of Hogwarts in a thousand years - Albus Dumbledore
"I have three questionsโ" Ravenclaw's face did not change, unmoved by Dumbledore's aggrieved and unconvinced words.
Dumbledore couldn't wait to respond, "Wise Ravenclaw, please ask questions, as long as I can answer my questions, I will answer any questions you want to know." โ
Ravenclaw didn't bow his head, but just let Hitomi look down at Dumbledore and said, "First question, what is the headmaster's role?"
Dumbledore was stunned for a moment, and somewhat understood what the other party meant, his hands in the sleeves of his magic robe were tightly clenched together, and his body leaned back slightly, "Plan the development of the school, educate and cultivate students." โ
Ravenclaw lowered his head slightly at this time, and all his attention was on Dumbledore: "Then the second question, over the past thousand years, during the tenure of the previous headmasters, which graduates under the headmaster's tenure have the worst spell casting and combat ability?"
Dumbledore took a deep breath, his lips trembled and fell into silence, he couldn't deny Ravenclaw's words, but he felt very embarrassed and aggrieved in his heart, the weakening of Hogwarts spells was also caused by the policy of the Ministry of Magic, the Ministry of Magic and the purebloods did not want the school to teach too much powerful knowledge to the students, he just objected to Alan teaching the students too dangerous magic, and did not feel that he was trying to improve the students' ability to cast spells.
"Your silence and heart tell me that you are not convinced, but for whatever reason, in the past thousand years, Hogwarts graduated wizards have never had such poor strength, your self-righteous actions under the vision of the pattern have severely limited and hindered the development of Hogwarts, perhaps as the title of the greatest white wizard in the world today, you have achieved great personal success among the previous headmasters, but I think you are the worst headmaster of Hogwarts in a thousand years. Ravenclaw's words actually did not have any emotional fluctuations, calmly stating the facts, but every word sounded to Dumbledore's ears, like a sharp knife poking him in the heart, "If it weren't for the improvement of Alan Harris's training class and ancient magic class in recent years, I have observed that the school I founded, under your leadership and education, could not use the disarming charm This situation was extremely rare before I established the school, in the chaotic medieval era where uneven apprenticeship prevailed." โ
Although the wizards lying on the ground were surprised that Ravenclaw said such merciless words, but after careful tasting of his words, the truth was indeed as Ravenclaw said, but now, they have sympathy for Dumbledore in their hearts - it is so pitiful that it will be recorded in "Hogwarts, a school history", which is a great shame for a headmaster.
Some wizards who were accustomed to supporting Dumbledore agreed with what Ravenclaw said, but knowing that it was not Dumbledore's responsibility alone, their [800 fo] pity for Dumbledore was spontaneous, but now they did not have the ability to break free from the shackles of divine power and speak up for Dumbledore.
Only Professor McGonagall kept trying to open her mouth and try to make a sound, trying to defend Dumbledore, and her courage and determination allowed her to break through the suppression of Kamui and successfully let out a hoarse voice: "He delayed Hogwarts education and teaching in order to solve the Dark Lord......"
It was under his improper education system that Tom Riddle was raised. Ravenclaw looked at McGonagall and said indifferently, "If he is more concerned with the problem of a dark wizard that he has raised, and is not capable of juggling the duties of the Headmaster of Hogwarts, then he should not be derelict in his duties and delay the students of my school for other things, it turns out that this deterioration can be corrected." โ
McGonagall hung her head, she couldn't find a reason or a way to refute Ravenclaw's words, although the deterioration of the level of wizards graduating from Hogwarts was not unrelated to the previous policy of the Ministry of Magic, but Harris Camp and the rapid increase in the strength of the students after he became a professor of ancient magic proved that the situation could actually be completely improved.
"For Merlin's sake, Ms. Ravenclaw...."Pomona Sprout also untied her restraints and wiped her tears, she took off her thick hat full of patches, patted the dirt on her body that seemed to never be cleaned, and made herself look more polite when facing the founder of the school, "Albus has made mistakes in education, but at least he has been trying to protect his students, has been trying to keep them out of danger, and his intentions are good..."
"This is related to my last question, I think Dumbledore is more unforgivable on this issue than a mistake in educational philosophy..."Rowena Ravenclaw looked at everyone seriously, "Hogwarts school song, what is the end of the lyrics?"
"Because our minds are empty and full of air,
Dead flies and trivialities,
Teach us something valuable,
Give us back to us what we have forgotten,
You just have to do your best, and we will take care of the rest.
We will study hard until we have a mess in our heads. โ
Without waiting for anyone else to reply, Alan sang the end of the school song, which could nominally be of any tune, in his own way.
Dumbledore and his followers were speechless, they couldn't respond to the questions of the founders of Hogwarts, although the purpose of the White Wizards was just to protect those wizards, to bear the pain and carry the weight on their behalf, but in the school song that Alan sang just now, the school song they would hear every school year, implied the house spirit left by the founders, the Hogwarts spirit and philosophy that he had been ignoring - Stuff the empty-headed students with valuable knowledge and leave the rest to their own solutions, and Hogwarts has to teach young wizards to be self-reliant.
And as Ravenclaw said just now, there is a more powerful evil force in this world than Tom Riddle- Today, all kinds of things that make Dumbledore powerless keep happening, all things are different from usual, they are beyond his expectations and control, some doubts about the belief in his heart Dumbledore lowered his head, staring suspiciously at his dry and charred hand, those feelings condensed by confusion and memory, like slender tentacles, unscrupulously burrowed into the pores of the skin, stretched like vines, and wound into the heart and lungs, making him suffocate and ache.
"Dumbledore... Is it so difficult for you to admit your mistakes?", Alan saw that although Dumbledore was not speaking, he could see that he was just falling into self-doubt, Alan narrowed his eyes a little impatiently, and then took out the hookah in the shape of a raven's skull that he had just used, and after he took a big puff hard, the large cloud of smoke he spit out rose into the air, and the little wizards who were thinking about the lyrics of the school song were now attracted by the scene in the smoke above their heads.
In the smoke, the other wizards present realized that the red-haired wizard above was Godric Gryffindor, another founder of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
The ancestor of the Lion House was standing by the black lake before the school was established, and the angry expression on his face made him look like a lion, and then a roar erupted from his hideous lion mouth: "The principal of your era is so irresponsible, he actually blocked the growth path of other students because of one or two mouse droppings, put all the knowledge into his office and let this knowledge be dusted, and expected to let the so-called savior save the world- The purpose of our establishment of the Academy of Magic, the establishment of the library, and the establishment of the forbidden book area is to allow young wizards with different talents to get their own path to promotion! He is not as good as those pure-blood families who keep their own knowledge, doesn't this completely eliminate the opportunity for anyone to learn this knowledge? Why did he change the original intention of our school without authorization?!"
In order to make this strange ancient accent fully understandable to the wizards present, Alan also kindly and thoughtfully added modern English subtitles under the illusion of smoke...
Later, Alan defended Dumbledore's argument that the White Wizard's intentions were all good, but he was too self-conscious and wanted the world to work the way he wanted, and Godric Gryffindor's final decision to transfer all of his ownership of Hogwarts to Alan, so that he could correct Dumbledore's mistakes and return Hogwarts to its normal picture as the end of the show.
In the silence of the audience after the smoke cleared, Alan's voice, which sounded gentle as always, told the cruel truth: "Dumbledore, even the appearance of Lady Ravenclaw herself doesn't seem to have completely convinced you that you still have some kind of illusion... Thinking I'm Ravenclaw, so Ravenclaw himself supports me?Is it a matter of course for me from the Eagle House to fight you, the Gryffindor?But you're misunderstood, or you're losing your mind in this situation... Since Ms. Ravenclaw still exists, her ownership is naturally still with her, and in fact, Ms. Helga Hufflepuff's ownership is also with Ms. Ravenclaw, so this part of my ownership is not from Ravenclaw... It's from the founder of your own school, Godric Gryffindor, who is your founder, and Mr. Gryffindor thinks that you are not responsible in the position of Headmaster, and it is Mr. Gryffindor who has asked me to stop your blind mistakes caused by your own arrogance, causing harm to Hogwarts and the wizarding world in England..."
Dumbledore's bright blue eyes on his crooked nose seemed to lose their light, and his hands fell limply to his sides, and then he sat down on the ground to the exclamations of several professors. His distraction, but the open eyes and the constant slight shaking of his head showed that he did not faint, but only because of the magnitude of the blow he received, so that he could not feel the pain this time, according to his own words, he was already too old to feel the pain, and this time he felt the second most intense pain in his long life.
This made Albus Percival Wofrick Brian Dumbledore, the former world's greatest white wizard and former headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, sit on the ground like this in the eyes of everyone present.
