Phyllis was stunned for a moment, then quickly reacted and said, "You mean...... He doesn't want me to expand my reach? ”

"Isn't that obvious?" Chen smiled and said, "Before, the most influential in the Ravenclaw faction was Carl Price, the Price family is a veteran Ravenclaw family that has been inherited for hundreds of years, and Carl Price can also be called an excellent talent, his family background, talent, and character can stand up to scrutiny, and it is a matter of course to become the most influential person in the Ravenclaw faction." ”

Phyllis took a few steps back, sat down on the bed, frowned slightly and thought for a moment, then quickly stretched her brows again, smiled slightly mockingly, and said, "However, he is still worried about my threat. ”

"yes." Chen in the mirror said, "Carl is just a man of success, he can keep the glory of the family, keep Price's position in the Ravenclaw faction, but if he wants to go further, it is not enough, he lacks ......"

"Ambition!" Phyllis said.

This sentence sounds a little ridiculous, Carl is the head of the high-powered law enforcement department of the magic department, and the leader of the Ravenclaw faction, if you want to say that you have no ambition, no one will believe you. But here, Phyllis's ambition is clearly not limited to climbing to a higher position, what they want is to reshape the order of the world according to their own wishes.

For this reason, the risks they are willing to take and the means they are willing to use are not something that Carl can afford.

……

After the Christmas break, teaching at Hogwarts continued as normal, and Phyllis continued her somewhat boring history of magic lesson.

But on the other side of Hogwarts, on the Board of Trustees, a heated argument was going on, which soon spread to the Ministry of Magic meeting. The Ravenclaw faction, including some pure-blood families affiliated with the Slytherin faction, expressed that Dumbledore's destruction of the Philosopher's Stone was "puzzled" at first, then "hoping to be carefully considered", and in the end, more and more people were implicated, and even formed some kind of "momentum" to attack Dumbledore.

On the fourth floor of Hogwarts Castle, in Phyllis's bedroom, she was leaning against the head of the bed, flipping through the magic notes, thinking back to the slightly haggard headmaster she had seen in the school auditorium before, and couldn't help but let out a laugh: "What a great man's sorrow." ”

In the bedroom, the door of the cabinet is open, reflecting the figure of Phyllis. Chen in the mirror was also half-lying on the bed, and said with a smile: "Now do you have the heart to gloat?" I don't know who was scared before, and I didn't dare to close my eyes and sleep all night. ”

Phyllis closed the book and said, "Aren't you worried?" ”

"Worried about what?" Chen said, "Didn't you say it too? This is the sorrow of the great man. ”

The so-called great man is often when he fully takes care of the interests of ordinary people, so he will be so supported, will he have such a reputation, and he will be called a great man.

And the other part of the people, the so-called elite, does not think so. The reason why the powerful can be called "magnates" is because they can influence the distribution of social resources, and naturally, the results of distribution are definitely beneficial to them. In other words, it is often said that the powerful rely on "exploitation" to obtain social resources.

(The reason for this is that the word "exploitation" is inherently difficult to define.) What is called "unfair" appropriation is different for different classes of people. ）

The cake is so big, and there are so many benefits, when taking care of the interests of ordinary people, it is inevitable that the interests of the powerful will be harmed. Then those powerful people will naturally stand on the opposite side of the great man. So in many stories, the powerful are not a good thing, typical villains, which in itself is logically valid.

Great men are naturally great, but they are also rare, on the contrary, the powerful who control the distribution of social resources have existed since ancient times. It is extremely difficult to fight against a group of people and go against the trend.

Now, Dumbledore was suffering from this hardship.
