Harry Potter: Who cares about belated motherly love?

"By the way, who will be the headmaster of Hogwarts?"

Master Sirius asked Master Lucius.

"We are coordinating to have Slughorn take the position. For better or worse, his admiration for Potions is well known, and he doesn't care about the house of origin of his students, which earns him a high evaluation. Although he likes children with family backgrounds, he doesn't like them if they lack academic ability. So even if they are Muggle-born, as long as they have talent in Potions, he likes them. And he hates guys like you who behave improperly. He not only looks at grades, but also has a comprehensive assessment.

In addition, the future Hogwarts needs to cooperate with the Council and the Ministry of Magic, and he will not be too stubborn because of his work. If it is a headmaster who excludes interference, Hogwarts may repeat Dumbledore's mistakes, but Slughorn should not be like that. "

“That’s right, he doesn’t judge students based on their college or put them in a certain box.

I heard that the work of the Patronus will be done by someone recommended by the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures. It was the headmaster's own decision before, and it became like this now. And some retired wizards are willing to continue to help, so they will also be involved. As for the staff of the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures, they may stay for a while. "

Uncle continued.

"However, after listening to Ron's story, I think we should at least set up dormitory mothers. Widows like those who like to take care of others and have nothing to do may be willing to do it as long as they have a place to live and food, even if the salary is low."

"Indeed, if the dormitory mothers are from various colleges and have reliable backgrounds, they should be able to be introduced quickly. We can arrange one person this semester. If there is a shortage of staff, we can add more next year. The cost of dormitory mothers will not be very high.

This way, the dormitory head's burden will be greatly reduced, Snape, what do you think?"

“I think it’s a great idea.

Especially for dormitory heads of different genders, some issues are not easy to handle, and students may be reluctant to consult. In addition, dormitory heads are too busy, and some students are afraid to consult because of the concern that they are too busy. They only come to the dormitory head when the problem is serious, and then they are blamed for not coming earlier. They often say guiltily that they don’t want to trouble the teacher.

That's true. Those students who read the weekly magazine are now more concerned. They were already very concerned before, but now they are even more so.

"Understood, I'll arrange it.

Prefects have a tough job too. If all students were well behaved it would be fine, but with students like Sirius or the late James Potter it can be a problem.”

Mr. Lupin smiled in response.

"I was a prefect myself, and when I got to the senior year, the studies became harder and I had to take care of the younger students, which was really hard. So dorm mothers are necessary and I fully support it.

Slytherin students are usually well-educated at home, but half of Gryffindor students are not, so the situation is particularly complicated. Every year, some magical children enter school without knowing how to write, and it is very difficult to teach them. Sometimes we can only ask teachers to use magic to force them to study, but this often causes their physical condition to deteriorate or their mental state to become unstable, so it is very troublesome.

In contrast, Muggle-born children at least receive primary education and will not have problems with illiteracy. "

Mr. Snape frowned.

“Indeed, many children of the magic tribe cannot write when they enter school.

They thought that learning at Hogwarts only started after entering school, so most of the children who did not learn reading and writing skills in advance were from the magical family. Even in families where parents had attended Hogwarts, this situation occasionally occurred. Although in terms of proportion, most of these children were born in families that had magic but did not go to Hogwarts or Muggle schools. In this case, their parents' literacy rate was not high, which was somewhat understandable. In Slytherin, this situation occasionally occurred. Ravenclaw almost never accepted such children, but there were very few exceptions. Every year, Hufflepuff and Gryffindor would have a certain number of such children.

Muggle-born children, regardless of their class, go to school, so unless they have learning disabilities, they are generally literate. Therefore, it is the magical children who tend to have difficulties learning. "

The nobles were amazed at the number of parents who had attended Hogwarts and still did not teach their children to read and write.

“But it could happen.

My parents also went to Hogwarts, but they taught almost nothing except me. I taught Charlie and Percy. If I hadn't taught them, they probably wouldn't be able to read either.

My parents didn’t care much about my brothers. The three youngest brothers were not taught by anyone either, but they were very talented, so there was no problem. But if they were ordinary children, the consequences would be disastrous.”

His uncle held his head and sighed, "No, as seen from Bill's memory, Arthur's children are indeed very smart. But the strange thing is that they have no idea about some very basic things in the wizarding world. They said that they only casually flipped through books like the Pure-Blood Directory, and their understanding of the nobility was limited to that. Other than that, their knowledge of the wizarding world is pitiful. Basically, they only know what they have investigated in Diagon Alley. Especially the twins, although they have a very deep understanding of certain professional fields, they know almost nothing about the common sense of the wizarding world."

"They said that in the bookstore, the priority is to learn inventions and other knowledge that can help one be self-sufficient. Although they are very proficient in common sense and saving skills, especially the three youngest children, they can survive tenaciously no matter where they are thrown, but they don't understand some things that are taken for granted. Especially Ron, his parents hardly taught him anything in this life, so he is completely dominated by the values ​​of his previous life. This may be why he can act so indifferent when facing the cold reception from his younger brother and sister-in-law. In fact, he really doesn't seem to care."

"Ron was very quiet in his previous family and hardly spoke. So he probably only knew what he saw. Even though he had a lot of doubts, he never took the initiative to ask. Comparatively speaking, the twins might have asked outsiders about some things in Diagon Alley, so they knew a little bit. However, since their parents were particularly cold to their three youngest children, they might not have been taught the obvious things."

"Their survival is their top priority. Before being taken in by the Weasley family, they often went hungry. I remember my brothers once told me with a smile on their faces that fortunately they had secretly learned in the bookstore which grass was edible and how to hunt animals. At that time, I really didn't know what to say. I had a good life in Hogwarts, while they lived a survival life in the cold without decent clothes..."
