A day at Hogwarts

Lupine came back from Wagadu with mature mandrakes. After returning to the British Ministry of Magic via the international route, he first went to the fireplace at No. 3 Privet Drive, and then went directly to the Hogwarts via the internal route used by Dumbledore to play the game. Principal Gwartz's Office.

Professor Sprout and Snape were called immediately. After checking that there was no problem with the mandrake, they immediately took it to make the medicine. For this reason, their classes for the past two days were changed to quizzes.

On the night after the medicine was prepared, Charles came out of the kitchen and hurried towards the school doctor's ward.

The basement led to the stairs to the first floor. Malfoy stood at the top of the stairs, seemingly waiting for Charles, and gave him a meaningful smile.

Charles suddenly got goosebumps and walked quickly towards the stairs.

As the two of them passed each other, Malfoy suddenly whispered to Charles: "I'm on your side. If you need anything, you can ask me for help."

Charles turned back, frowned, and his head was filled with questions, but in the end he ignored him and left.

In Madam Pomfrey's office, Charles cut the hot pie into several pieces, and the aroma suddenly filled the whole room.

Patients who have just woken up must not eat randomly until they have been checked by professionals.

"What kind of meat is this white meat?" Madam Pomfrey fell into a blind spot of knowledge, "I only recognized that the blood of the fire dragon was added to it."

Charles explained: "The white one is the meat from the Acromantula's legs. It tastes good and is easy to digest. The blood of the fire dragon can replenish the body."

Madam Pomfrey thought for a moment, nodded, and said, "It looks fine, give it to them."

Charles left a piece of pie with Madam Pomfrey and went to the adjacent ward.

Percy, Penelope, Justin, Seamus and Cedric were all awake, rubbing their noses from time to time. Madam Pomfrey's nasal feeding technique had some residual effects.

Charles didn't expect that Dumbledore was there, talking to everyone, and he didn't have a share in the pie.

A photo appeared in Charles' hand, and he only took one look at it before putting it away, causing Percy's originally gloomy face to turn red and white.

Charles placed his pie and cutlery on the bedside table and walked to Seamus' bed nearby.

Seamus looked a little dazed. After seeing Charles, he said: "I felt like I was still in the corridor a second ago, and when I blinked, I realized that three months had passed since I was lying on the hospital bed."

Charles said seriously: "In other words, you haven't showered for three months."

Seamus immediately raised his hand and smelled his arm. Fortunately, there was no peculiar smell.

Charles continued: "You should thank me. I have written down all the homework for you during this period."

After taking the pie, Seamus said, "It must have been written down by Harry. As soon as you went to Australia, he started writing down your daily homework. After class, he even asked the professors to assign more assignments."

The corners of Charles' mouth twitched, thinking about how to "thank" that guy.

At this time, Dumbledore began to distribute parchment and automatic quills to everyone, and asked them to write letters to report that they were safe.

After seeing this, Charles sighed in his heart. Lao Deng was under a lot of pressure during this period. Fortunately, the students, the fat monk, and Mrs. Lorris all recovered. There was no abnormality in the initial inspection, so he could breathe a sigh of relief.

The next step is to find the basilisk, or the person who released it.

On the way out of the ward, Dumbledore suddenly asked Charles: "Charles, what do you think about inviting some parents of students to visit Hogwarts?"

Charles raised his eyebrows. Most of the wizards in Britain came from Hogwarts. How many of them grew up here? Old Deng was full of talents in Britain. If he wanted to seize the power of the Ministry of Magic, he only needed to shave his head and visit Hogwart. The only ones who are worried are those Muggle parents.

Dumbledore continued: "Jack often said that increasing understanding is the best way to eliminate barriers, and suggested that I deepen the parents' understanding of Hogwarts and our world."

"This time Finreli was attacked and his parents were so frightened that they went to the hospital. They wrote to me not long ago asking if they could let him go back."

Charles understood that Justin's parents were not wizards. He wondered if the novelist he used to like suddenly turned into a criminal. It would be strange not to go crazy when he was suddenly notified that his son had been petrified.

If it had been Dudley, Petunia and Vernon would have hit him with two fully loaded tanker trucks.

Dumbledore finally said: "I have an idea to invite some parents of students to come to Hogwarts to spend a pleasant weekend."

Just as Charles was about to say something, the corner of his mouth suddenly twitched, and he exposed the old man's background with a black line: "If it's just a weekend, I'm afraid grandpa won't be happy. If he can attend the Transfiguration class, he will be so excited that he can't sleep all night."

Dumbledore was stunned for a moment, and then he immediately realized, my dear, it turns out that the ultimate purpose of this evil old man's beating around the bush is to flirt with his best friend, his conscience is really broken!

A few days later, Professor Sprout pulled Charles to a corner of the greenhouse before class and asked him about gossip, because Dumbledore had been speaking ill of Jack in front of McGonagall these days. Was there anything interesting that happened? Eat candied fruit.

At this time, Charles didn't know that he would be able to eat Professor Sprout's special herbal preserves in a few days, and said the key point: "Actually, the biggest problem is Slytherin House."

Dumbledore nodded slightly. Those extreme pure-blood wizards even discriminated against Muggle-born wizards and mixed-blood wizards, let alone Muggles. When Voldemort gained power, Muggles were regarded as "prey". .

Like this attack, because under the banner of pure wizard blood, everyone in Slytherin College was basically having fun, and some people took the initiative to join in.

Charles was not sure about Jack's ancestry. The old man never said anything about his family, and he felt as if something had fallen from the sky.

He was actually looking forward to it, thinking how much fun it would be if the old man got pissed off by the Slytherin students when he came here to "visit", so he closed the door and let Peeves go.

Dumbledore didn't know that he was thinking of something interesting, and said with some helplessness and exhaustion: "Years of prejudice cannot be solved in a short time, and I have no intention of hiding this problem."

Charles thought for a while and said seriously: "The economic base determines the superstructure. The root cause of discrimination between pure-blood wizards and mixed-race wizards is that their own interests have been infringed. To finally solve this problem, it is best to start here."

To be honest, he still doesn't understand the economic structure of wizarding society. He doesn't know where the first two raw materials for food, clothing, housing and transportation come from. He only knows that the entire society is at the level of a handicraft workshop, and Eleanor opened it north of Hogsmeade. That capitalist's pharmaceutical factory already belongs to the advanced production relations.

"This is a brand new angle." Dumbledore said to Charles with a smile, "I will think about this issue carefully."

The corner of Charles's mouth twitched and he kept on saying: "There is an old saying in China that 'without investigation, there is no right to speak.' Thinking about issues requires sufficient and detailed first-hand information as a basis."

Dumbledore just nodded calmly.

Charles didn't say anything more. When he was young, this man was a ruthless man who had the same ideals as Grindelwald. His current political philosophy may be due to family changes and he became conservative, but it doesn't mean he knows nothing about this. , give him a little hint and he can think about it on his own.

Dumbledore stopped talking about discrimination and asked if there was anything wrong with Charles' recent Transfiguration training.

Turns out he wanted to hit someone, to which Charles replied: "I want to go to the Hog's Head."
