The sickly, iron-fisted beauty in Harry Potter

"The Quidditch player selection process will take place in the second week of this semester. Students who wish to join the college team should contact Mrs. Hodge."

"Finally, I must tell everyone that anyone who does not want to suffer an accident and die in pain should not enter the corridor on the right side of the fourth floor."

Hermione was startled and couldn't help but whisper in Dolly's ear, "Hogwarts can seriously injure or even kill people?"

Of course, quite a few people died!

Of course, not everyone dies every year, and most of the seriously injured are saved.

However, to appease Hermione, Dolly could only say, "That's probably the charm of magic—dangerous yet captivating."

Hermione nodded in agreement, but then said, "From now on, let's stay away from the right-hand corridor on the fourth floor... I hope no one will come near us, right?"

Dolly didn't answer; instead, she looked in the direction of Gryffindor.

No one will come near?

Dumbledore's statement was practically a bait-and-switch tactic.

This is tantamount to telling the Gryffindor students that if they want to experience unexpected surprises, they should go to the right-hand corridor on the fourth floor.

If you really don't want the students to go there, why not just use some magic to cover it up?

That way, at least Harry won't be able to get in.

Hmph, it's just Dumbledore's plan to raise his beloved little savior!

"Finally, before everyone goes to bed, let's sing the school song together!"

Upon hearing this, all the school staff members looked somewhat embarrassed.

Even some of the older students, especially those from Ravenclaw and Slytherin, looked speechless.

Dumbledore flicked his wand, and a long, golden ribbon floated out, twisting and coiling like a snake above the high dining table to form lines of text.

“Each of you choose your favorite tune,” said Dumbledore. “Ready, set, sing!”

So everyone started singing haphazardly, with hardly anyone singing in the correct pitch, not to mention some people deliberately causing trouble.

After everyone else had finished singing, only the Weasley twins remained, deliberately singing "Funeral March" at a slow tempo.

Dumbledore used his wand to conduct the last few bars for them, and when they finished singing, he gave the twins the loudest applause.

Judging from this scene alone, Dolly even thought Dumbledore was quite cute.

The term "old rascal" describes a group of people who, after getting old, are no longer bound by morality and do not have to bear heavy social responsibilities, thus liberating their true nature.

Dumbledore now has the air of a mischievous old man.

Considering Dumbledore's pursuits, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call him a saint.

However, all of the above is from Harry's perspective. From the perspective of bystanders, Dumbledore's plan to train Harry almost inevitably involved ordinary students as well.

For example, letting Quirrell manipulate giant monsters, sending several students to confront the Basilisk, recruiting Lupin the werewolf as a teacher without a plan, and having Hagrid teach the Bombtail.

For example, in the Triwizard Tournament, despite knowing there was a mole causing trouble, the tournament was not stopped or the mole was identified. Harry was still allowed to participate, which led to the death of the innocent Cedric.

And even after knowing about the connection between Harry and Voldemort, he still forced Harry to face Voldemort's control on his own, which ultimately led to Sirius's death.

These are just questions concerning the Harry Potter program; as for the teaching at Hogwarts...

For example, the bullying problem that no one cares about on campus, the fact that poor teaching quality allows slackers to become teachers, the fact that professors openly show favoritism or even discrimination, and the fact that dangerous and magical creatures such as the eight-eyed spider in the forbidden forest are left untreated.

Even within Hogwarts School of Management, there have always been small organizations with terrorist tendencies, and various hidden and even overt crimes, including the use of love potions and the use of unforgivable curses.

This doesn't even mention some of Dumbledore's problems in his youth, such as forming a blood pact with the first Dark Lord Grindelwald, accidentally causing the death of his sister, and actually thinking about ruling Muggles when he was young.

Once you understand these points, it's not hard to see why the Ministry of Magic has such a tough stance on Dumbledore; after all, Dumbledore is seen as a dangerous individual.

Of course, the biggest reason was that Minister of Magic Fudge was worried that Dumbledore would run for office and take his position as minister.

As someone who has been through it all, Dolly naturally understands the complete Dumbledore.

Therefore, he is not regarded as an omnipotent saint, but at most a white wizard who tried to save Harry and the world, but messed up a lot of things.

This is actually the truth of life; most people's lives are filled with messes.

“Music,” Dumbledore wiped away a tear from his eye, “is far more captivating than anything we’ve done here! It’s bedtime now, everyone go back to your quarters.”

Robert stood up and said, “Ravenclaw freshmen, follow me, don’t get lost.”

The group immediately followed, heading in a completely different direction from Gryffindor.

Harry then remembered to look at his sister again, and Dolly finally responded to Harry, simply waving her hand.

It wasn't that the fake sibling relationship was finally exposed, but rather that Dolly had eaten too much and started to feel sleepy.

She can take a shower and go straight to sleep. Anyway, she doesn't have to worry about gaining weight, so she can do whatever makes her comfortable.

Soon, the group arrived at the base of the tower and began climbing the stairs.

Both Ravenclaw and Gryffindor dormitories are in towers, but they are not in the same main building.

Compared to the Gryffindor Tower, the Ravenclaw Tower appears more slender.

This also means that Ravenclaw's staircases are steeper and the dormitories are smaller.

Finally, the group reached the very top of Ravenclaw Tower, where a smooth, ancient wooden plank appeared before them, bearing a raven-shaped bronze door knocker.

At this moment, Robert turned around, smiled at everyone, and said, "I know you are all tired, but getting into the Ravenclaw lounge is not an easy thing."

54. Third update, Dumbledore, plus 3 points.

"As you can see, there is a raven-shaped bronze door knocker at the entrance to our lounge."

"When you knock on the door, the crow ring will ask you a question, and if you can answer it correctly, you will be allowed to enter."

"For nearly a thousand years, no one except Ravenclaw could get through this simple barrier."

"Some first-year students are afraid of Crow Ring's questions, but don't worry."

"Ravenclaws are quick learners; you'll soon learn to enjoy the challenges set by the Raven Ring."

"It's not uncommon for 20 people to stand at the entrance of the common room, trying to answer the day's questions together."

"This is a great opportunity to get to know Ravenclaw students from other grades and learn from them."

"However, it can be a bit annoying when you forget your Quidditch uniform and need to rush in and out."

"Therefore, I suggest you double-check your bag before leaving Ravenclaw."

At this point, Robert changed the subject and said, "I haven't introduced myself yet. I'm Prefect Robert Hilliard. It's a pleasure to have you join Ravenclaw."

"Our emblem is an eagle soaring high above an unparalleled peak; our colors are sky blue and bronze; our common room is located at the top of Ravenclaw Tower, hidden behind a door with a magical knocker."

"Through the arched windows of the Circus Common Room, one can see the entire Hogwarts campus: the Black Lake, the Forbidden Forest, the Quidditch pitch, and the greenhouses—a view that no other house is fortunate enough to enjoy."

“I don’t mean to exaggerate, but this is where the wisest witches and wizards live. Like our founder, Rowena Ravenclaw, we regard learning as our primary ability.”

“Ravenclaw has another cool element: our people are very self-centered—some people would even call them eccentric.”

"But geniuses are usually out of step with ordinary people. Unlike some academies, we think you can wear whatever you like, believe whatever you want, and say whatever you want."

"We don't dislike unconventional people; on the contrary, we appreciate them!"

“Speaking of eccentricities, you’ll like our Dean, Professor Felius Fritville.”

"People often underestimate him because he is really short and has a high-pitched voice, but he is the best and most knowledgeable living professor of spells in the world."

"His office door was always open to any Ravenclaw with a problem, and if you were unhappy, he would unleash those delicious pocket cakes hidden in the tin cans in his desk drawer and make them dance in front of you."

"Actually, you can pretend to be unhappy, and then you can see the cakes doing the cowboy dance. It's really worth a try."

Then Robert raised his voice: "Ravenclaw has a glorious history; most of the great wizarding inventors and innovators came from our school."

"Including the inventors of the Moon Mirror, Love Potion, and Floo Powder."

“Even we in Ravenclaw have the most Minister of Magic, such as the famous Mrs. Millison Bagnore who resolutely defended everyone’s right to revel on the night Harry Potter miraculously survived.”

As Robert said this, several people subconsciously looked at Dolly.

The news that Dolly was Harry's sister had spread, and people were filled with curiosity about how Harry escaped Voldemort's clutches.

However, Dolly thought to herself: Ravenclaw also produced Lockhart and Rita Skeeter, among others.

"As I said, we produce eccentric people. For example, we contributed to the wizarding world the oddball Yurik who wears a jellyfish as a hat, and he is a classic witty remark in many wizarding jokes."

Upon hearing this, Dolly thought of Luna.

I wonder if Luna in the movie will still be as delicate and lovely, it's a pity she hasn't started school yet.

"As for our relationship with the other three colleges..."

Robert continued, "You've probably heard of Slytherins. They're not all bad people, but you should be wary before you get to know them."

"Because their long-standing academy tradition is to win at all costs, especially in Quidditch matches and exams."

“The Gryffindors are not bad. If I have any complaints about them, it's that they like to show off too much.”

"They are much less tolerant of different people than we are. In other words, making fun of and giving nicknames to weirdos is what they are most enthusiastic about."

"For us, if you're willing to sit in the corner of the common room all day and night cracking eggs and doing divination based on how the yolks fall, it's not only not a problem at all, but many people might even be happy to help you."

"That's all... Oh, by the way, the ghost of our academy is Ms. Gray. She is the daughter of the Eagle Ancestor and is a very beautiful lady, but she rarely speaks to others."

"It's especially useful when you're lost or can't find something."

Robert clapped his hands one last time and said, "Congratulations on becoming a member of the smartest, most agile, and most interesting Hogwarts school."

Have a wonderful evening.

After saying that, Robert exhaled and turned to ring the pull tab.

The pull ring did indeed raise a question, even for the prefect: "How many angels can stand on the head of a pin?"

Upon hearing this question, all the new young wizards looked at each other in bewilderment.

Robert smiled smugly and said, "Some questions don't have just one answer; if your answer is reasonable, it can also pass."

"For example, the answer to this question could be one or countless."

The door knocker answered crisply, "Correct, you can go in."

Although the door knocker says "you," in reality anyone can enter; not everyone needs to answer a question.

This relieved everyone, as it meant they could rely on their classmates.
