After that, everything went back to normal.
Harry quickly shifted his attention away from the divining class and devoted himself to his Quidditch training. Because of Ailey's interference in his first year, he was not selected by Professor McGonagall to join the Quidditch team. Instead, he joined the Quidditch team step by step in his second year. Of course, Harry naturally got involved with Malfoy.
But this had nothing to do with Ailey.
In fact, she was discussing another problem with Dumbledore about the school.
And that was safety.
So …..
"I don't know if I should approve of your method, Miss Ailey."
Dumbledore looked at the crystal ball in front of him with a complicated expression. This was Ailey's latest invention, "Omniscience". Simply put, she sealed the spell into the crystal ball, then installed the crystal ball in a suitable location to record everything that happened there like a surveillance camera.
"This might make our students very uncomfortable."
"I don't think there's anything wrong with that, Headmaster Dumbledore."
Ailey didn't care about Dumbledore's attitude at all.
"I don't intend to install these things in the bathroom or the dormitory, but I believe that Hogwarts students must behave like a normal wizard in public. I don't care what they do in their private space, but they should obey the rules in public.... Isn't that what the rules and laws are set up for?"
"But we should trust our students...."
"If you really mean what you say, then stop secretly observing Harry Potter's every move like a perverted voyeur," Ailey retorted.
Ailey retorted, which left Dumbledore speechless for a long time. In the end, he sighed softly.
"Miss Ailey, you seem to hate me."
You want to play the emotional card just because you can't reason with me? Do you think I'm that idiot Harry?
"Not only do I hate you, strictly speaking, I hate all wizards."
Ailey didn't deny this at all.
"In my opinion, wizards are parasites of human civilization. You parasites on humans, but you look down on ordinary people. You think you're great, but your life and death are nothing to humans. Even after the incident with Voldemort, the wizards didn't change at all …. Frankly speaking, I'm really disappointed in the world of magic. All the wizards here, old or young, are like you, exuding the smell of old age. "
"Haha...."
Hearing Ailey's ruthless reply, Dumbledore chuckled and sat back in his chair.
"I understand what you mean, Miss Ailey. But please believe me, I know there are problems in the world of magic, but solving these problems isn't something that can be done overnight.... "
"Ah, I understand, petty-bourgeois socialism. On the one hand, they hope to join the ranks of the bourgeoisie, but on the other hand, they fear to become proletarians. On the one hand, I hope to participate in public affairs to protect my own interests. On the other hand, I'm afraid that inappropriate confrontational behavior will anger the ruler. "
Ailey crossed her hands and narrowed her eyes at Dumbledore. Dumbledore scratched his head, looking a little confused.
"I don't quite understand what you mean, Miss Ailey."
"Although I don't like Voldemort's goals, I admire his style of action. No matter what his goal is, at least he did it. And Headmaster Dumbledore, your performance in this aspect isn't as clear as your enemy.... Although I think it's useless to say this. "
Ailey glanced at Dumbledore again and retracted her gaze.
Honestly speaking, Ailey didn't think much of Dumbledore. After all, he was just a conservative, filled with the softness and compromise of the bourgeoisie. When Voldemort caused such a huge ruckus, Dumbledore could have used this opportunity to thoroughly suppress the position and power of pureblood wizards in the magic world, uniting most of the wizards from Muggle families to overthrow the pureblood wizard class. But in the end, he didn't do anything, and this was what Ailey despised the most.
To put it bluntly, Dumbledore was afraid of causing turmoil in the entire British magic world, so he didn't do anything. Originally, after Voldemort's defeat, most of the famous people in the magic world were either dead or living in seclusion. As the lighthouse of the British magic world, this was Dumbledore's best opportunity.
But what did he do?
He didn't do anything. He didn't even form a team in his own territory, in Hogwarts, to follow his will. Of course, as an unreconstructed old school wizard, Ailey didn't expect him to understand the logic of class struggle. Perhaps in Dumbledore's narrow-minded view, he still saw this war as a war between the "bad wizard" Voldemort and other good wizards who were oppressed by the "bad wizard".
He didn't see that the reason why Voldemort caused trouble was ultimately because of the class struggle between pureblood and mixed bloods. In the end, it was still a naked oppressive action of one class oppressing the other. And this was an unavoidable part of historical progress. Dumbledore placed his hope on the self-healing of the wizard society instead of a comprehensive reform, which eventually led to the current situation.
If Dumbledore could have used this opportunity to criticize the theory of bloodlines after Voldemort's demise, roped in a large number of mixed-blood Sorcerers, and expressed opposition and reform to the social rule of pure-blood Sorcerers, then eleven years later, when Voldemort made a comeback, there was not even half a helping hand.
In the end, Dumbledore was still a weak bourgeois compromise. The weakness and compromise of the bourgeoisie were clearly visible in him. More importantly, he clearly knew that Voldemort would resurrect sooner or later, but he still ignored it and pinned all his hopes on a savior.
In the end, this was no different from eliminating the "bad king" and then hoping that the prince could become a "good king" and lead their people to live a happy and stable life. It could be said that from the beginning to the end, Dumbledore probably never thought of overthrowing the whole system and making the king disappear completely....
"Forget it, there's no point in talking to you about this. I'm just here to ask you, are you going to pretend or not? These crystal balls can be used as lamps to be embedded in the wall. That way, if anything happens, we can quickly find out the truth, and we don't need troublesome spells like truth-telling potions or mind-snatching spells.... "
"This...."
"Knock knock knock!"
Just as Dumbledore was hesitating, there was suddenly a hurried knock on the door, and a teacher rushed in.
"Professor Dumbledore, please come here quickly. Something's happened!"
Hearing this, Dumbledore hurriedly stood up. Allie followed behind him and left the principal's office. In fact, she had already guessed what had happened.
As expected, when Dumbledore and Allie arrived at the door of Gryffindor Academy, they saw that the portrait that originally served as the room door had been completely torn apart. Even the canvas had been pulled away. The Fat Madam who was originally on it was nowhere to be seen. Seeing this, Dumbledore frowned and turned to Professor McGonagall beside him.
"We need to find the Fat Madam. Professor McGonagall, go find Mr. Filch immediately and ask him to search every painting in the castle...."
"I don't think it's that troublesome."
However, before Dumbledore could finish his words, Allie interrupted him. She picked up her wand and tapped it. Soon, a beam of light was emitted from the wand and pointed at a painting on the ceiling. Everyone looked in the direction of the beam of light and saw the Fat Madam hiding behind the hippopotamus.
Dumbledore hurriedly asked when he saw the Fat Madam.
"Fat Madam, who did this?"
"Oh....!"
The Fat Madam who was hiding behind the hippopotamus peeked her head out in fear and screamed uneasily.
"He has a pair of devilish eyes, and his soul is as dark as his name. It's him, the principal, the person everyone is talking about. He's here, he's in the castle! Little Sirius Blake! "
"...."
Hearing this, Dumbledore's expression changed slightly. Then, he looked at Professor McGonagall again.
"Get everyone back to the auditorium immediately, and search the castle...."
Having said that, Dumbledore looked at Allie in silence for a moment.
"Miss Allie, I allow you to install that magic device in every public place in the school. For the safety of the students, it seems that we have to make a small sacrifice."
"I really want to know, what did you sacrifice? Pride? "
Hearing Dumbledore's answer, Allie snorted and turned to leave.
After that, Dumbledore ordered all the students of the four academies to spend the night in the Great Hall, while the others and the ghosts conducted a full search of Hogwarts. Of course, they did not find anything. Allie, on the other hand, only installed the magic crystal balls. She did not expect the group of teachers to be able to catch Sirius.
But then again, Allie thought of that joke again.
"Hagrid, can you say that again?"
"Hogwarts is the safest place."
"Hahahahaha!!!"
It was almost enough to make people laugh themselves to death.
Of course, after a night of tossing and turning, there was no result. Sirius Blake was not in Hogwarts. Nobody knew where he was hiding.
The next day, following the appearance of a new painting, the students returned to their academies to rest. Harry quickly focused his attention on this year's Quidditch competition. The first match of the year was between him and Malfoy's Slythrin.
But the weather was not good.
Looking at the raging storm outside, everyone sucked in a breath of cold air.
"Are we going to compete in this weather?"
Harry asked doubtfully. As an Englishman, he had seen some football matches at his uncle's house. In this weather, the match would most likely be canceled.
"Impossible, we can only compete in this weather. Don't let those Slythrins look down on us."
"But in this weather, I'm afraid the spectators won't be able to see our performance clearly."
Aria looked a little depressed. She lifted her head and looked out of the umbrella. She could not even see the people in the stands clearly because of the howling wind and the torrential rain. She could only barely tell which school they belonged to by the color of their cloaks.
"Don't worry about that."
Wood didn't seem to be that anxious.
"Professor Mag just told me that Teacher Allie invented a new magic that allows everyone to see our performance clearly.... So, we have to perform better and not make a fool of ourselves!"
As he spoke, everyone strode into the arena.
At the same time, dazzling fireworks suddenly erupted and shot up to the sky before dispersing.
"Bang bang bang!!"
The dazzling lights instantly ignited the passion of the spectators. They shouted loudly and waved their hands vigorously. But then, an even more shocking scene happened.
The scattered fireworks gradually formed four rectangular glass-like objects in front of the spectator stands. Then, the figures of the players on both sides of the arena appeared clearly — — It was as if four transparent cameras were filming them from different angles.
"Wow!"
Seeing this scene, the cheers of the spectators became even more intense. The Quidditch players were also shocked when they saw the enlarged images on the screen. Wood resisted the urge to tremble. He patted Harry's shoulder and shouted, "Let's go!
For Gryffindor!!! "
