Professor of Gemology at Hogwarts

The principal's office is located in a separate, small tower. Gray and the others came out of the tower and walked down the marble stairs through the deserted corridor to the second floor. Poppy Pomfrey followed Neville all the way to the office. The one behind him said nothing.

When passing the fourth floor, the only portrait hanging near the stairs opened my eyes.

"Caught?" said Emery Switch.

"Yes, Mr. Emery Switch. But not this boy."

Emery Switch stared at Neville with wide eyes for two seconds, and Neville took a step back in confusion.

"No! He's there! This rudeness - it's not upbringing, kid! I just told you, there's him! You should teach him a lesson!"

"Sorry! But...I..." Neville's voice trembled slightly.

Dumbledore's words just now made Neville regain his sense of self, but now he was hit back by the pale face and portrait of this medieval European medium-length curly hair.

"No, Mr. Emery Switch—"

"Look at what you, professor, did. You called me Mr. Emery Switch. You called me Mr. Emery Switch! You don't respect the teachings of your predecessors!" Rude and arrogant - " He read his name syllable by syllable, then glanced at Neville, the robes " Rude and arrogant, Gryffindor!"

"I'm sorry Mr. Emery Switch but...actually I don't think I have..." Neville said feebly "Gryffindor."

Gray couldn't stand it anymore. Emery Switch had a particularly strong opinion on Gryffindor. Which house did he have?Why would you say something so specific and even deliberately emphasize it in front of an innocent student?

No matter what he had been saying about Gryffindor, whether it was prejudice, words, or the fact that Gray was madly reprimanding Neville, he didn't want to hear it anymore. At the moment, there was just one wish - to send Neville to Madam Pomfrey and then Go get ready for class.

"Mr. Emery Switch." Gray suppressed his anger. "Actually, I also have a Gryffindor. I have a Neville, and that's it. I think we have a lot to deal with before we leave." "

Emery Switch glanced at Gray sideways and then looked away. He moved uncomfortably to a more relaxed position, with his shoulders hanging loosely, and his curly hair sliding behind his shoulders as he moved.

"Oh, that dirty old guy when I put on the Sorting Hat also called me by this name," he said.

"Gryffindor?" Gray was surprised.

"Well. I guess you think I'm not qualified to judge it? You think I don't own this academy, I don't understand it, I don't have any feelings for it - in fact, I have this school here. Graduated from this academy." Emery Switch said, "So listen, don't think how great it is that you have Gryffindor, you are still that kid. Gryffindor is very arrogant. Look at your ignorance and thoughts just now..."

No matter what Emery Switch was saying, Gray didn't want to wait too long. He was also planning to talk to Neville.

"I was very surprised to hear Mr. Emery Switch say this about his own school. But now we really have to go. As you saw before, everything was controlled by him and Voldemort did not do it himself. Neville is not arrogant and arrogant, he is a kind and brave student, Gryffindor... Goodbye sir."

When Gray said the last words, something seemed to touch Neville. He raised his head and looked at Gray.

"V...the mysterious man..." Emery Switch thought thoughtfully, "Did you say that person...?"

"Would I make fun of him?"

Emery Switch snorted, "I'll ask Dexter Fusco (the red-nosed, fat wizard's former principal who now has a portrait in the principal's office) what do you want for this?" It's best not to make such boring excuses when trying to excuse yourself."

"We just had someone present who came out of the principal's office and the cause and effect are very clear. Everyone should know about it, including the previous principals." Gray said, "You can ask."

"You didn't call me Mr. Dexter Fusco."

"Wait until you understand the whole story and realize that this child is not your kind of person, then we can talk about it, right?"

Emery Switch was stunned for two seconds, then he snorted and slowly closed his eyes, pretending not to disturb anyone, and no longer paying attention to the two people in the corridor.

-

"Thank you...Professor Morris." Neville said, "But...well...maybe I don't have Gryffindor. I think the Sorting Hat made a mistake and I should go to Hufflepuff." "

Gray smiled.

"Do you feel that you are not brave enough? Your friends around you have different personalities?" Gray thought of Nymphadora. "Besides, Hufflepuff is no ordinary person."

"I'm not saying that Hufflepuff is mediocre, I just think that I am closer to it...especially compared to Gryffindor. And I know that I am timid...and I don't want Gryffindor. "Neville's voice became smaller and smaller. "When I realized that I had become friends with the bravest man, Harry, I was pleasantly surprised and even a little awed - actually, I didn't feel like I had him. Should friends be considered classmates? I feel like I’ve been making a fool of myself..."

"So, that person in the diary helped you regain your confidence?"

"I want to make something, at least I won't be laughed at again——"

"It's not a good idea to rely on a magical diary."

Neville lowered his head, "Yes... I understand now that I did something stupid again. The three of them can remain firm and determined no matter what the situation, right? At least it won't happen like me... I caused trouble for everyone...and hurt Hermione. Hermione's first friend was me, the pet toad who helped me find Foray on the train."

"The same thing will happen to that diary no matter who picks it up. After all, there is Voldemort. Once things fall into it, you will not be able to control it... but it also gives you a memory-anything is your own thoughts." ,The origin is unknown, and everything is dangerous."

"Oh, I think so...I won't use those things indiscriminately in the future. This time taught me a lesson."

Gray looked at Neville.

"And if you only think that you are not brave, you will find that you are much braver than many, many people. There are shining points in you, but you don't see it, others don't see it, but you will shine. Everyone will recognize you as long as you rely on yourself to work hard and figure out what to do.”
