As for Harry, he has Dumbledore's protection.

But without Hermione's brain, Harry and Ron's life would be a little more difficult.

The other is Quirrell.

Quirrell, the boss that Harry had to defeat this year, was whispering with Snape.

Snape didn't know it yet, but on the back of Quirrell's head was Voldemort.

Facing Voldemort at this time, apart from Harry who had the effect of love magic, only a few teachers could fight against him.

So Dolly was just taking a look and had no intention of rushing in by the end of the year.

At most, I can help Harry when he needs it, and that's the limit.

And looking at Harry again, he was also enjoying everyone's attention and seemed to be having a great time. Everyone had a bright future.

Before long, more and more people put down their cutlery.

Dolly had no choice but to stop in order to maintain the last bit of her ladylike dignity.

It was just that look of wanting more that made Qiu Zhang both amazed and envious.

Which girl would refuse to eat a lot without gaining weight?

53 Chapter 2 Dumbledore is nothing special

Until the last student put down the pudding in his hand, the plates and leftovers in front of everyone disappeared, and the table was restored to its clean and tidy appearance.

Dumbledore stood up at this time and said with a smile, "Now that everyone has eaten and drunk enough, I would like to say a few words to everyone."

"Attention first-year students, students are prohibited from entering the woods on campus. Some of our classmates from the old class should also remember this."

Dumbledore finished speaking and looked at the Gryffindor red-haired twins without disguising his feelings, while the Weasley brothers also puffed out their chests proudly.

Amidst the low chuckles, Dumbledore continued, "Also, Mr. Filch, the caretaker, asked me to remind everyone not to perform magic in the corridors during class breaks."

"The review of Quidditch players will take place in the second week of this semester. Students interested in joining the house team should contact Madam Hooch."

"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, "Could someone be seriously injured or even killed at Hogwarts?"

Of course, quite a few people died!

Of course, not everyone dies every year, and those who are seriously injured are basically all saved.

But in order to comfort Hermione, Dolly could only say: "This is probably the charm of magic. Danger is fascinating."

Hermione nodded in agreement, but then said, "Let's stay away from the right corridor on the fourth floor from now on... no one should get close, right?"

Dolly didn't answer, but looked in the direction of Gryffindor.

No one will come near?

Dumbledore's words are simply fishing.

It is equivalent to telling the Gryffindor students that if they want to experience unexpected surprises, they should go to the corridor on the right on the fourth floor.

If you really don't want the students to pass, can't you just use some magic to cover it up?

At least this way Harry wouldn't be able to get in.

Humph, it’s just Dumbledore’s plan to train his beloved little savior!

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

Hearing this, all the school staff looked a little embarrassed.

Even some senior students, especially Ravenclaw and Slytherin students, were speechless.

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

"Everyone chooses a tune he likes." Dumbledore said, "Get ready and sing!"

So everyone started singing in a mess, and few people sang in the right pitch, not to mention that some people were deliberately making trouble.

After everyone finished singing, the only ones left were the Weasley twins, who were deliberately singing a slow version of "Funeral March."

Dumbledore conducted the last few bars for them both with his wand, and when they had finished, he gave the twins their warmest applause.

Just looking at this scene, Dolly even thought Dumbledore was quite cute.

The term "old naughty boy" describes a group of people who, when they grow old, have no morals to restrain them and no longer have to bear heavy social responsibilities, and who have liberated their nature again.

Dumbledore now has the feeling of an old naughty boy.

Even considering Dumbledore's pursuits, it is not an exaggeration to call him a saint.

But the above are all from Harry's perspective. From the perspective of passers-by, Dumbledore's plan to train Harry almost inevitably involves ordinary students.

For example, letting Quirrell tinker with the troll, letting several students face the basilisk, recruiting the werewolf Lupin as a teacher without a contingency plan, and letting Hagrid be a teacher to tinker with the exploding-end skrewt.

For example, in the Triwizard Tournament, even though he knew there was a traitor messing things up, he didn't stop the game or find out the traitor, but still let Harry participate in the competition, which led to the death of the innocent Cedric.

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

These are just issues concerning the plan for training Harry, as for the teaching issues at Hogwarts.

For example, there is the bullying problem on campus that no one has ever taken care of, the poor teaching quality allowing unscrupulous people to be teachers, the professors' open favoritism or even discrimination, and the dangerous magical animals such as the eight-eyed spiders in the Forbidden Forest are not dealt with.

There have even been small terrorist organizations within Hogwarts School, and various hidden or even direct crimes, including the use of love potions and unforgivable curses.

This is not to mention some of the problems Dumbledore faced in his youth, such as forming a blood pact with the first Dark Lord Grindelwald, accidentally killing his own sister, and actually thinking about ruling Muggles when he was young.

After understanding this, it is not difficult to understand why the Ministry of Magic has such a tough attitude towards Dumbledore. After all, Dumbledore is a dangerous element no matter how you look at it.

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

As someone who had experienced this, Dolly naturally understood the complete Dumbledore.

So he won't be seen as an omnipotent saint. At most, he is just 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 full of messed up things.

"Music," Dumbledore wiped the tears from his eyes, "is more charming than anything we do here! It's time to go to bed, everyone, go back to the dormitory."

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, just waving her hand.

It wasn't that the fake sibling relationship was finally exposed, but that Dolly started to feel sleepy after eating too much.

Wait for her to take a shower and then go to sleep. There is no need to worry about gaining weight, so just do whatever makes you feel comfortable.

Soon, several people arrived at the bottom of the tower and began to climb the stairs.

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

Compared to Gryffindor's Tower, Ravenclaw's Tower looks slimmer.

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

Finally, everyone arrived at the top of Ravenclaw Tower. In front of them appeared a smooth wooden board that had been there for many years, with a crow-shaped bronze door knocker on it.

At this time, Robert turned around and said to everyone with a smile: "I know you are all very tired, but it is not easy to enter the Ravenclaw common room."

54 Chapter 3 Dumbledore, plus points

"As you can see, there is a bronze knocker in the shape of a crow on the door of our lounge."

"When you knock on the door, the Raven Ring will ask you questions, and if you can answer correctly, you will be allowed in."

"For nearly a thousand years, no one except Ravenclaw has been able to pass this simple barrier."

"Some first-years are afraid of Raven Ring's questions, don't worry."

"Ravenclaws are quick learners. You'll soon learn to enjoy the challenge of the Raven Ring."

"It's not uncommon to see 20 people standing at the common room door trying to work through the day's questions together."

"It's a great opportunity to meet other Ravenclaws from other years, and you can learn from them."

"Though it can be a bit annoying when you forget your Quidditch uniform and need to get in or out in a hurry."

"Therefore, I suggest you check your bag twice before leaving Ravenclaw Tower."

At this point, Robert changed the subject and said, "I haven't introduced myself yet. I'm Robert Hilliard, the prefect. I'm glad you're joining Ravenclaw."

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

"Through the arched windows of the circular common room, you can see the entire Hogwarts campus: the Black Lake, the Forbidden Forest, the Quidditch pitch and the greenhouses. Other houses are not lucky enough to enjoy such a view."

"I don't mean to be pretentious, but this is where the brightest witches and wizards live. Like our founder, Rowena Ravenclaw, we place learning first and foremost."

"Ravenclaw has another cool element: our people are very much themselves—some might even call them eccentric."

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

"We don't dislike people who are different; on the contrary, we admire them!"

"Speaking of eccentrics, you'll like our Head of House, Professor Filius Flitwick."

"People often underestimate him because he's really small and has a high-pitched voice, but he's the best and most knowledgeable spell professor alive in the world."

"His office door is always open to any Ravenclaw who has a problem. If you are unhappy, he will release those delicious pocket cakes hidden in the tin can in the 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 jive. It's really worth a try."

Then, Robert raised his voice: "Ravenclaw has a glorious history. Most of the great wizard inventors and innovators come from our house."

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

"Even we in Ravenclaw have the most Ministers of Magic. For example, on the night Harry Potter famously survived the catastrophe, Mrs. Millicent Bagnold firmly upheld everyone's right to revel."

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

The fact that Dolly is Harry's sister has spread, and people are curious about how Harry escaped from Voldemort's clutches.

However, Dolly complained in her heart: Ravenclaw also produced Lockhart, Rita Skeeter and others.

"Like I said, we produce eccentric people. For example, we contributed to the wizarding world the weirdo Ulric who wore a jellyfish as a hat. He is a classic punchline in many wizard jokes."

Hearing this, Dolly thought of Luna.

I don’t know if Luna in the movie is still as delicate and cute. It’s a pity that 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 until you get to know them, you should be wary."

"Because they have a long-standing house tradition of winning at all costs, particularly in Quidditch and exams."

"Gryffindors are not bad. If I have any problem with them, it's that they like to show off too much."

"They are also much less tolerant of those who are different than we are. In other words, making fun of and giving nicknames to weirdos is what they love to do most."

"As for us, if you're willing to sit in the corner of the common room all day and all night cracking eggs and telling fortunes based on how the yolks land, not only is it not a problem at all, but many people might even be happy to help you."

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

"She's especially helpful 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 house."

"Have a wonderful evening."

After saying this, Robert exhaled, turned around and rang the ring.

Griphook asked the question, making no exceptions even for prefects: "How many angels can stand on the head of a needle?"

Hearing this question, all the new wizards looked at each other in confusion.

Robert smiled proudly and said, "Some questions don't have just one answer. If your answer is reasonable, you'll pass."

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

The door knocker replied promptly, "Correct, you may come in."

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

This made everyone feel relieved, as it meant they could rely on other students.
