Chapter 40: What's wrong with my son wanting to raise a dragon?

Dumbledore was amused, and he also summoned himself a glass of lemonade:

"Zhang, alcoholism can't improve your magic ability, otherwise the best people in the world should be a bunch of drunkards.

But in fact, really good wizards almost never drink heavily, like me. ”

Dumbledore winked at him, crossed his legs, crossed his hands on his knees, and said in a slightly more formal tone:

Hagrid had already gone through the general situation.

Zhang, I have always believed that people need to be responsible for their own actions, and I believe that even if the dragon goes crazy, you can be safe, but this does not mean that your actions are not wrong.

The Ministry of Magic was originally going to strictly investigate the incident of raising dragons in secret and leaking secrets, after all, smuggling and raising dragons without permission is a very serious crime.

But the purebloods who rallied around your family unleashed their influence and forced things down. ”

Zhang Xiao was silent.

If he is really a teenager, maybe not, he will definitely not be convinced, I have the ability to protect myself, and I want you to be nosy?

I love to go wherever I want, it's my freedom!

But Zhang Xiao knew it in his heart, because of himself, Dumbledore, McGonagall, Snape, Flitwick, and Lady Hooch. Even Hagrid, the professors worked almost all night worrying about themselves.

Dad's side is also moving, it seems that he has drunk too much and rode the dragon out for a ride, but in fact, there are many people behind it.

Dumbledore looked at him and said seriously:

"Zhang, maybe you understand this truth, but I still want to tell you that strength should be restrained, and the stronger the power, the more you need to restrain yourself.

I've met two talented young people who both advocate using strength to solve all problems, but both the process and the result are regrettable.

It is the responsibility of the strong to restrain themselves.

Otherwise, no matter how much power you have, you are just a puppet of power. ”

After saying this, he raised his glass and took a sip of water, pretending to be interested in the scenery outside the window, leaving enough time for Zhang Xiao to digest.

Dumbledore seemed to be saying something unrelated, but it was actually the essence of the problem.

Do you rely on your strength to do whatever you want, or do you want to restrain yourself.

Two talented young men? Grindelwald and Tom Riddle, right?

Zhang Xiao had no doubt about the sincerity of what Dumbledore said, because he was really restraining himself, even if he was driven away in the secret room incident, or forced to make an alliance with the centaurs in the Forbidden Forest.

Even allowed Umbridge to act recklessly at school and make a mess, he endured it and didn't use his own strength to solve it.

Obviously, if he wants to, he can break up Voldemort in the Forbidden Forest again with a snap of his fingers, and he can completely ignore the Ministry of Magic.

This is Dumbledore, because he has seen the consequences of losing his strength, he has bound himself with a bunch of rules and regulations, and finally reluctantly solved Voldemort by putting his own life on the line.

This is the greatest white wizard of the West, Albus Percival Wolfrick Brian Dumbledore.

Should I learn from Dumbledore too? Frame yourself up with a bunch of rules? No matter how you look at it, it means to correct the past, right?

No! This is a question that my almighty ancestors have already answered!

Zhang Xiao raised his head and said solemnly:

"Professor, you're right, power does need to be restrained, but have you ever considered a question?"

Dumbledore looked like he was listening attentively, and he was also curious about what Zhang Xiao had to say.

"What should you do if those who are weaker than you but who try to do evil use the rules they have set to persecute you?"

The question immediately sent Dumbledore into deep thought.

Don't think about it, Professor, you've been cornered several times since then, and the biggest resistance you've ever done is to use Fox to escape, and force you to go crazy!

But if you give Fudge that straw bale two big fights, he won't dare to do that to you.

There won't be so much bullshit follow-up either.

"Maybe. I'm going to back down, it's better than breaking the rules that everyone agrees on."

Dumbledore sighed, looked at Zhang Xiao again, and asked with interest:

"Looks like you have a different idea?"

A smile appeared on Zhang Xiao's face, principal, you don't know yet, right?

Huaxia, especially the Daomen, is particular about cultivating the mind!

"The strong need to be restrained, but it is definitely not a rule made by a chaotic ruler, there should be self-restraint, and set a bottom line and code of conduct for yourself.

And this thing, in China, we call it "

Zhang Xiao sat up straight:

"Dao!"

Dumbledore looked at the second-year wizard in front of him, and suddenly had a deep curiosity about the education of the East, these words and the views on strength and restraint should definitely not be the cognition that people of this age should have.

He felt as if he didn't need to say anything, and even wondered if he should be like Lockhart and find some books from the East, even Muggle ones.

Even if he was Dumbledore, there would be a lot of cognitive obstacles, and I'm afraid the headmaster never knew that there was a civilization in this world disguised as a country.

And their wisdom and their painstaking efforts were condensed in Chinese characters and left to future generations.

Even if it is a Daomen, it has always recognized the brilliance of ordinary people.

"Okay, it seems that I'm overthinking, you already have your own ideas, so next

Zhang, let's talk about the follow-up punishment. ”

Dumbledore changed his posture and looked at Zhang Xiao with a smile, but he said extremely ruthless words in his mouth.

Zhang Xiao, who was still holding his head high and was high-spirited, collapsed in an instant:

"Huh?"

"First of all, Noble's question, your father was very quick to respond.

The first thing he asked was whether there were any casualties.

After learning that no one was harmed, in the office of the Minister of Magic, it was stated that what happened to his child wanting to raise a pterodactyl?

And he made full use of his influence to grant you a special license from the Ministry of Magic to raise dragons.

So. Noble is now a legal Norwegian spinysaurus.

Zhang, you have a very wonderful father and loves you very much. ”

Dad, daddy is awesome! You can always trust Zhang Chengdao!

Zhang Xiao almost cheered out, what is the Daomen! Do you understand the gold content of the Young Heavenly Master?

"Although I have a permit, for the safety of the little wizard, Zhang, I can only ask you, Noble must remain the same size as before.

If it weren't for the fact that you had a magical item that could control your size, I'm afraid that even if I had a permit, I would have had to put it in the Forbidden Forest. ”

Zhang Xiao nodded, this is as it should be.

"The second is your punishment, and given that you have not caused any serious consequences, my punishment for you is"

Dumbledore deliberately stopped, and Zhang Xiao's heart also rose, if you don't pay the fine, save trouble!

After appreciating the expression on Zhang Xiao's face with a bad taste, Dumbledore said:

"Because Mr. Filch has been petrified, the health situation in many of our places is starting to be worried, so as a member of the Academy, you should also contribute.

So my punishment for you is that the promenade at the entrance to the Slytherin common room is to be cleaned by you, three times a week. ”

Fortunately, this punishment is not serious, Zhang Xiao breathed a sigh of relief, and used magic very quickly.

"No magic! Since Mr. Filch doesn't use magic either, I think you'll be able to appreciate his hard work, and you'll be a little more restrained the next time you're making trouble and playing pranks.

At the very least, the bomb needs to be used sparingly - although it is a very interesting prop. ”

Zhang Xiao's face collapsed again, and then keenly grasped the point:

"Professor.. You mean you guys? ”

Dumbledore couldn't help but smile and said:

"That's right, your good friends Harry and Ron heard Hagrid tell you about flying on a dragon, and they ran out all night to try their hand at riding a dragon.

The Weasley twins put on a grand 'Filch in memory of Filch' event – in the form of a big dung bomb.

There were also a dozen or so young couples who had snuck out at night, and they thought that Mr. Filch was not there, so no one had caught them for the night walk. ”

Zhang Xiao went back satisfied.

When the sound of the door closing sounded, and the portrait on the wall ended the state of watching the play, the portrait of Dippert asked curiously:

"Albus, why do you seem to be happy? Binge drinking! Dragon riding! Leak! These three things are out of Hogwarts for me at that time! ”

Dumbledore shook his head and said with a smile:

"Dippet, you shouldn't just see the wrong side, think about it from another angle, would those evil wizards go out for a ride on a dragon after drinking too much?

Even the worst thing to do is to find a Muggle plane race. Is there anything more joyful than being sure that a talented young man has not gone down the wrong path? ”

The portraits fell silent, and Dumbledore leisurely dangled his legs:

"And, I found that the boy's view of restraint was perhaps more appropriate than mine, and he made me a teacher!"

And Zhang Xiao finally had the opportunity to carefully recall what happened after he got drunk that day.

As a result, he discovered something very embarrassing.

It seems to have drunk a broken piece.
