386. Dumbledore talking to Medea
"That's ridiculous."
Dumbledore disagreed with Medea.
"We cannot unreasonably demand that one person sacrifice something for another. From what I know, Scott has done the best he can to help his friends. ”
He paused, then continued, "Of course, I didn't contact you to discuss this with you, Miss Slytherin, you shouldn't have done this to a child. ”
"I'm sorry, I'm not your student, Mr. Headmaster." Medea said coldly.
Dumbledore didn't respond to her cynicism, but said, "I'd like to talk to you about the state of the wizarding world right now, ma'am. ”
"Oh?" Medea seemed to have some interest, "What do you want to talk about?" ”
"I hope that you and the wizards under your command will truly set their sights on a better future for wizards, as you yourself say."
Dumbledore said earnestly.
"The Ministry of Magic is now on the verge of falling apart, and most people are fighting for the sake of fighting, not even bothering to do their jobs. I gotta say, this doesn't lead to a better future for wizards. ”
Both Scott and Professor Flitwick were surprised to hear him say this.
Because they know very well that Medea's slogan is just a slogan, she is not for a better future, she is just to change the predetermined fate of more people recorded in the [scroll of history].
Could it be that Dumbledore was in a relationship with Medea?
"You're right, it's my fault."
What's even more unexpected is that Medea also neatly admitted her mistake.
Could it be that the banner of "for a better future" cannot be fallen?
"You know very well what the factional struggles in the Ministry of Magic are all about." Medea said, "So I have a good offer. ”
"Speak, please." Dumbledore said politely.
Medea said, "Tom is the biggest destabilizing factor in the British wizarding world, isn't he?" After all, he advocates the supremacy of purebloods, and cannot treat all wizards equally. ”
Dumbledore replied quietly, "Tom's presence does affect peace. ”
"Then let's join forces to get rid of him." Medea proposed, "Get rid of Tom's pure-blooded banner and completely suppress those stubborn forces who only look at blood." Only in this way can the wizarding world usher in a better development. ”
Scott saw Dumbledore shake his head, apparently, he didn't agree with Medea's proposal.
"I really want to get rid of Tom, he's a heinous dark wizard who's caused a lot of pain over the years."
The tone of his voice became a little heavy.
"But I'll never join forces with you, Miss Slytherin."
Medea laughed.
"You don't look down on me, Mr. Headmaster." "Because I'm not a good person in the traditional sense, and I've even done a lot of bad things that people can call vicious." ”
Dumbledore shook his head again.
"That's not the main reason." "I don't expect all people to be noble," he said. ”
"What's the reason for that?"
Hearing Dumbledore's statement, Medea seemed to be a little curious.
"Because you can't treat everyone equally." Dumbledore said, "It's true that you don't value the bloodlines of wizards as much as Voldemort, but you value ability, and your philosophy is talent." ”
"Excuse me, is there anything wrong with advocating the idea of talent first?" Medea questioned.
Scott could tell from her tone that she really didn't understand what was wrong with her philosophy.
Dumbledore began to state his point.
"I know that everyone is different, and everyone has huge differences in appearance, bloodline, ability, personality, and so on."
"But I would say that all people should be equal in terms of personality."
"Even the weakest people have the right to live."
"We should guarantee that right."
"That's the difference between a man and a beast."
"Beasts only know how to survive, and we know how to love."
"I see what you mean, you're right." Medea's voice was heard again in the small fireplace, "but it's not practical." ”
Without waiting for Dumbledore to say anything more, she continued to state her opinion.
"If we want to promote the development of society as a whole, we must first ensure that talented people can get a better future."
"The weak and incompetent should be led by talented people, and when they can't keep up, they will be eliminated, and there is no way to do it."
"We should be looking at the whole."
"I think some sacrifices are even necessary."
"We can even take the initiative to remove some impurities and make the wizard as a whole stronger."
No matter what Medea's true purpose was, Scott, who was in the principal's office at the moment, could hear that what she said was from the heart.
Dumbledore only replied after hearing her, "Ordinary people are the majority." ”
"The average majority is like a flock of sheep without a shepherd dog to look after it." Medea retorted.
"Mr. Headmaster." She said, "Do you think that you, a powerful man who has been called the greatest wizard of this century, and a witch who only knows how to wash pots and dishes all day long, have the same value to the wizard as a whole?" ”
Dumbledore said seriously, "I don't think I'm any different from a witch who only knows how to wash pots and dishes. The witch may sound like just an ordinary wife, an ordinary mother, but she can give her husband and children the best love. ”
Medea was silent for a moment.
But she wasn't convinced by Dumbledore.
"I realize that none of us can convince anyone, Mr. Headmaster." "Then let everyone see whose theories can bring a better future to the wizarding world." ”
After saying that, she took the initiative to disconnect the fireplace.
Dumbledore shook his head and sighed when he saw the green flame in the small fireplace go out.
"Why do you want to talk to her about this, Albus, this lady is obviously having a hard time agreeing with us." Professor Flitwick spoke up.
"I want to know what's really going on in her heart." Dumbledore said, "I wonder if all she did was following her father's orders, or if it was her own will." ”
Professor Flitwick said: "Obviously, the lady herself is not kind enough. ”
Dumbledore nodded, "Although the criteria are different, both this lady and Voldemort are equally keen to classify people into different ranks. ”
As he spoke, he shook his head again.
"If this continues, the Ministry of Magic will get worse and worse." Professor Flitwick added.
Then, neither professor spoke, and the atmosphere in the president's office became somewhat solemn.
Scott looked at the two professors and didn't speak rashly.
Of course, he doesn't think he can say anything thought-provoking in this regard.
After all, his experience of receiving political education was only a middle school classroom in his previous life, and most of those studies were returned to the teacher after the college entrance examination.
As for the university?
Scott only remembers that politics classes in college were open-book exams.
Just as Scott struggled to remember his past life, Dumbledore spoke again.
"I'm sorry, Scott, I almost forgot."
Scott hurriedly put away his memories.
"About Mr. Carlo." Dumbledore said, "Mr. Scrimgeur, the head of the Auror Office at the Ministry of Magic, has taken him away and informed the Rohr family, who were also victimized. ”
"Do I need to testify at the Ministry of Magic when he's on trial?" Scott asked.
"That's exactly what I'm going to tell you."
Dumbledore smiled.
"I have been informed that, due to the eagerness of the Rohr family, the case against Mr. Carlo will be heard next Friday morning, and I will take you with me to the Ministry of Magic to testify."
"Oh, you'll be able to testify this time." Professor Flitwick said guiltily, "I'm sorry, Scott, the last time you were attacked by Carlo, what I said to you didn't come true. ”
Scott hurriedly said, "It's not your fault, Professor. ”
He didn't want to see Professor Flitwick feel guilty about his own business, the professor had been good enough for him.
Moreover, Professor Flitwick is a more pure professor than Dumbledore. Because he has never been involved in politics, there are some things that he really can't do.
"Well, that's all for today's conversation." Dumbledore smiled at Scott again, "Lady Ravenclaw has already said that you don't have to go to her for class today, maybe you need to relax for the day." ”
"Miss Ravenclaw is right, you don't have to go to Professor Babling this afternoon, you don't have to go to my in the evening, go play with your friends." Professor Flitwick smiled kindly at him.
He looked Scott in the eye as if he were looking at a poor child.
Although Scott wanted to say that he didn't need to relax and just wanted to study, he accepted the kindness of his mentors and professors, thanked him and left the principal's office.
Is it such a coincidence, Scott thought, as soon as he received the order to relax, he met these two living treasures.
As he walked out of the castle, he saw the Weasley twins scurrying around the atrium like two Bludgers.
Each of them held a telescope in his hand, looking at the sky and the ground for a while, and they looked very busy.
Soon, the two of them stopped at the same time and pointed the lens of the telescope in their hands at Scott together.
"Oh! Scott! Fred spoke in an ostentatious tone.
George shook the telescope in his hand cooperatively, "See what this is?" ”
"Telescopes?" Scott walked up to the two of them.
"No!" Fred raised his chin and announced loudly, "It's a magic camera!" ”
"We made it!" George raised his hands excitedly.
"This is this?" Scott looked at the "monocular" in the hands of the two with a puzzled expression, "What is the difference between the magic camera you invented and the panoramic telescope?" Is there a tube missing? ”
