Archdruid of Hogwarts

Blackening is three times stronger, and whitewashing is three times weaker.

Ernie feels something like this right now.

The power of the nightmare is in the hands of Xavius ​​of Yamaguchi Mountain. All kinds of dicks explode into the sky. The sacred tree Garnier is corrupted, the forest god Cenarius is corrupted, and even Ysera, the guardian of the Emerald Dream, cannot escape. Live the misfortune of being dominated, as well as Ursoc, the god of the wilderness, and so on.

But when he mastered and understood this power, he discovered that it had similar characteristics to the warlock's evil corrosion, and it was not the kind of power that could produce immediate results.

The power of nightmare is like a chronic poison and a kind of punishment, which can make the subject experience the whole process from inconspicuous mental weakness to complete madness.

Analyzed from this perspective, whether Ysera was sent into the soul by Xavius ​​and directly turned into a black man, or Cenarius was infected with a disease and disappeared out of thin air, it was actually the final scene of defeat.

Before that, they had been tortured by nightmares for a long time and fought against them for a long time.

Ernie believes that their failure was not so much a defeat to the power of nightmares, but a defeat to the darkness themselves.

If they are positive, have hope and light in their hearts, and can constantly encourage themselves and others, and receive positive feedback, then even if they have guilt and regret buried deep in their hearts that are not humane, they will never become black. .

It is even possible to defeat oneself and untie the knots in the heart, thereby purifying and sublimating the soul.

To put it bluntly, nightmares originate from selfish motives, but they are not pure evil, but the inner demon that blocks the path, the shadow corresponding to the light, and a part of oneself.

Facing it squarely and defeating it is the only way, otherwise you will suffer from it.

Of course, it's easier said than done. Like Ernie, he didn't actually defeat his nightmare openly, but used skills to avoid being harmed by the power of nightmares.

Therefore, his mind cannot achieve a breakthrough of self-transcendence.

Also, he has to endure endless tests.

He thought to himself: "The key link is really not a trick at all. It seems that if you want to conquer it perfectly, you can only save enough positive emotional currency and then give it away with all your strength!"

He felt that this was already the least tricky trick.

You know, ordinary people can't accumulate emotional power by converting currency like him.

And being tortured by nightmares every day is like being imprisoned in Azkaban and being sucked by dementors. Some positive emotional energy is also worn out in the hedging. Where can I save it?

Therefore, it is really difficult to play with the power of nightmares without turning black. Even if it is a son of nature, there is probably only one person in a million who can achieve it, let alone a Xibei like him.

On the other hand, his golden fingers are simply made to control the power of nightmares. If you hold on steady, you will definitely win!

February is a chilly spring, but for the little wizards at Hogwarts, this is the warmest winter.

After a period of trial, the magic heater in the dormitory has been adjusted and has achieved a better balance in terms of energy saving and heating guarantee. Even the stingy guys on the school board have to admit that this level of fuel consumption , it is a very cost-effective exchange for the comfort of the little wizards in winter.

In Sirius's words: "In previous years, the treatment subsidies for colds and other illnesses caused by the problem of keeping warm were much higher than the fuel costs. Why not let your children enjoy the warmth they deserve instead of eating sick? The suffering, the sin of being sick?"

The ancient Black family is naturally one of the trustees of Hogwarts.

It's just that Narcissa was given the agency by Sirius' mother Walburga before.

Narcissa and Bellatrix were both surnamed Black before they married and took their husband's surname.

Now, the legal heir of Zhengshuo of the Black family has returned, and the authority belonging to the Black family has naturally been taken back.

As a result, Lucius Malfoy's power on the school board was greatly reduced.

In addition, the MacMillan family also became one of the twelve school governors of Hogwarts through another channel.

This way is money ability.

The glorious pure-blood nobles of the past have been passed down to this day. In fact, many of them have fallen into decline and are not worthy of their name.

Take the Crouch family, for example.

Barty Crouch, Director of the Department of International Magical Exchange and Cooperation of the Ministry of Magic, is a strict and typical British man.

During the raging period of Voldemort and his henchmen, he openly confronted and was incompatible with them, thus winning a high prestige after the war.

However, he has a cheating son, Crouch Jr. After the war, he was found to be a Death Eater, and he was still a die-hard loyalist who could not clear his name no matter what.

Barty Crouch personally sent his son to Azkaban. This act of righteousness and annihilation of relatives has indeed restored his reputation.

However, within a few years, his son died in prison, and his wife was shocked to hear the bad news and also died of illness.

Although people didn't say anything on the surface, secretly they were gossiping about the situation.

Wizards are superstitious. In their eyes, although Barty Crouch has good public morals, his private morals have been damaged. Only then has the family been ruined. The Crouch family has no heirs and is doomed to perish.

Some people also found out that the Crouch family was already in decline, and when the family wealth was passed to Barty, there was not much left.

Barty's wife loved her son very much, and little Barty spent a lot of money on Voldemort's cause.

Because of this, the Crouch family has been unable to fulfill one of the main responsibilities of school directors - apportionment of expenses.

In this context, MacMillan replaced him. For many people, although it is unreasonable, it is also expected.

In fact, the Crouch family is far more than just a family that cannot bear the burden of school directors.

In the years since the war, the Ministry of Magic has been refusing to pay full education fees on the grounds that it was severely damaged during the war and was in dire need.

Minister of Magic Cornelius Fudge once said this to Dumbledore in public: "Each department is unable to release the full amount of funds. For this reason, I have to take the lead in cutting the salaries and benefits of civil servants. Is it appropriate to make special arrangements for education?" "

If something is not suitable, it will not be suitable for ten years. Once the opening is opened, the old rules can be followed. As for the reason, you can always find it if you look for it.

However, a considerable part of Hogwarts' expenses are mandatory, so they can only be allocated by the school directors. This makes some school directors who are already strapped for money miserable.

This is one of the reasons why they always seem stingy.

It's a pity that although Dumbledore is rich now, he has not been able to use the money to build several powerful wizard families.

The Malfoy party also obtained wool from the Slavs, secretly raised prices, and resisted acquisitions. Therefore, except for Black and MacMillan, they did not get more school board seats.

In February, the McMillan family made a lot of moves.

For example, in addition to donating money to the Ministry of Magic, a war allowance was also established for Aurors.

Aurors have hazard pay, but as long as you want to give money, it's not difficult to set up a name.

And so War Allowance was born. This incident caused quite a stir.

Some conspiracy theorists who are too idle say that if they do this, will Aurors become the private army of the Macmillan family in the future?

To say that this worry is not unreasonable at all.

This allowance is directly comparable to the basic salary of Aurors.

The basic salary of an Auror member is 30 gold galleons, so the war allowance is 30 gold galleons. The basic salary of an Auror captain is 50 gold galleons, and the war allowance is 50 gold galleons.

Eaters are short-tongued, takers are short-handed, and they compare their hearts to their own. If you are used to using this extra wealth, can you still get it back? For this reason, it is logical to turn a blind eye or turn a blind eye to the McMillan family.

But the same sentence remains: too much money!

I really can’t refuse!
