Chapter 71: The Way Forward

Whether from the point of view of the distribution of wealth in society, or from the point of view of their propaganda, the appearance of a powerful Muggle wizard is very disadvantageous.

If a Muggle-born wizard can grow to the point of being very powerful, what is the value of the pureblood they insist on?

If a Muggle-born wizard grew to that point, how would he change the world?

Carr understood exactly why Professor Carlo thought he was a good fit.

A Muggle wizard who, because of his talent and hard work, eventually grew up to become the next king.

Is there anything more in line with Dumbledore's philosophy?

But those people, the families who manipulated this election, do they really want such a Muggle wizard to be the new king?

Carl thought about what he had seen, and it was clear that they were all resentful of Dumbledore.

He hadn't figured out why it was before, but with Hattings' reminder, he understood why.

"So, what do you think ······" Carl looked at Heatings with some uncertainty, "That's why Professor Carlo wants to be able to control me?" He's worried······ Then why did he say yes······ I don't understand, Hattings. ”

"Because he was afraid of Dumbledore, he felt that Dumbledore would emerge victorious in the end. He knew he didn't change Dumbledore's abilities, so he wanted to be able to influence his successor. Whether it's for you to be one of them, or to finally get a ticket to a new world with your connections. ”

Hottingston paused, and said, "The Weasleys actually have similar suspicions, and I seriously suspect that it was they who showed their loyalty, so Dumbledore offered to give them a ticket." ”

"What?" Carl exclaimed in disbelief, feeling that his three views were collapsing. "Impossible."

"So, Carl, I want to ask you, if you become Minister of Magic, will you promote Percy? Would you reuse Fred and George brothers? Will you use Mr. Weasley? ”

"Well, of course, but that's because I know ······" Carl kept his mouth shut.

Why does he know about the abilities and character of these people?

Isn't it because of their close relationship?

However, he immediately thought of what the Weasleys did on weekdays, shook his head and smiled: "Impossible, the Weasleys, uh, can I say that they don't have this pattern?" ”

The Weasleys seemed silly to him - it wasn't a derogatory term, at least in Carl's opinion, they loved life and had no interest in anything like that.

Otherwise, they would not be content to be poor.

"Maybe." Hattings didn't deny it directly, and said quietly, "It's just my guess, the devil is like this, we like to see people from a dark angle." ”

Changing the subject, Heatings said, "Either way, it means that what you want is probably there." ”

Karl listened quietly to Hattings.

"If Professor Carlo wants to control you, then he will definitely not hang on to you all the time, especially if he finds that he cannot control you, he will definitely take the initiative to improve relations with you. So you'll need to get some black spells to your feet as soon as possible. "You have to make him realize that he's not your only option. ”

"I think it's because of this concern that he asked Quirrell to swear not to teach you the dark arts."

"Again, you have to show something about your worth — values like his leaning in, so that he feels like you can be co-opted." Hattings sighed, "You shouldn't have turned down his invitation, you're already on a better relationship with the Weasleys." ”

Carl still didn't understand, and asked suspiciously, "What do you mean by values like him?" ”

Hattings didn't answer directly, but asked, "Do you think Professor Carlo is for or against Dumbledore's ideas?" ”

"Forehead ······" Carl was asked again, but he didn't ask Hattings to announce the answer in the first place, "Don't answer yet, let me think." ”

Karl recalled his contact with Professor Caro and hesitated, "It doesn't seem so much in favor." ”

It was hard for him to tell if it was a gut feeling or if it was really evidenced, because he had never thought in that direction until Hattings reminded him.

But on closer inspection, Professor Carlo didn't seem to be entirely against it—if he did, Headmaster Dumbledore wouldn't have made him a professor of Defence Against the Dark Arts and would be responsible for educating the next professor, Quirrell.

Judging from his usual behavior, Professor Caro also behaves like no different from other professors, and he may have some blue eyes for the talented Karl, Cedric, Fred and George, etc., but that is not beyond the scope of fairness.

But did Professor Caro really fully agree with Headmaster Dumbledore's ideas?

Carl figured that if it was true, he wouldn't have been in contact with Malfoy's men.

"So what's his philosophy?" Carl looked at Hattings expectantly, and he felt that with Hattings' nudge, he already knew what he should strive for in the future.

"I don't know." This time, though, Heatings disappointed Carl, "I've never paid attention to that, and your dear Professor Caro obviously wouldn't talk about his differences with Dumbledore in a public setting like the school. ”

Karl agreed with Heatings' words.

He stood up and patted the dust off his buttocks: "I'll try it out slowly." ”

"Do you know how to tempt?" Hattings asked curiously.

Karl scratched his head and suddenly smiled and asked, "Do you think he is more inclined towards Dumbledore or more towards Voldemort?" ”

Hearing Carl's question, Hattings smiled with relief: "Carl, you have really grown a lot. ”

"The Hogwarts library and the newspapers are useful, and of course, your words and deeds are effective." Karl said modestly.

"Maybe you'll really grow to the point where Mr. Polo is one day." Hattings rubbed back and sighed.

"I don't like him."

"But he's the best devil I've ever seen, and he's at home in every world."

"Have you been to many worlds?"

"Not much, certainly not a lot."

They chatted all the way back to the castle, and Karl's boredom had been cleared, and he didn't let Hattings help him with his plan.

Hattings didn't mention it either.

This is what growth is all about: the child gradually breaks away from the parent's wing and begins to take control of his own plans.

When they returned to the Gryffindor common room, only Lee Jordan was still sitting on a red couch chair.

He saw Carl and smiled at him.

"Coming back?" He asked, "How about a walk?" ”

"It's a pleasant thing." Carl looked at Lee Jordan, who was in a bad mood, and said, "You can also go for a walk, quiet exercise is good for you to think things through." ”

"Is this your Muggle superstition?" Lee Jordan said casually, "I can try it next time." ”

He hesitated for a long time, then motioned for Carl to walk to his side.

"Carl, I want to talk to you."
