Harry Potter: Who cares about belated motherly love?

"So, let's get back to the topic of prophecy..."

Ron started talking again.

"Prophecy is really useful, especially for someone like Dumbledore who is good at guiding others. Prophecy can help him guide people to the predetermined track of action. You can say that prophecy can limit actions and even restrict others.

Perhaps, as long as the prophecy sounds credible enough, it doesn't matter whether it will come true or not, as long as he can guide the people around him to make it come true, and he has this ability.

In this case, Dumbledore might have someone else say a plausible prophecy, such as 'the Dark Lord will perish in this way', and it's important that he doesn't say it himself, because he likes to stay in a safe place.

If the prophecy fails, he doesn't want to take responsibility. He always cleverly avoids taking responsibility. It's really clever... Maybe he is more suitable to be a politician than a principal.

However, because he has not drawn a clear blueprint for the future of the wizarding world, he may not be successful as a politician.

He would have probably been better as a researcher and just stayed a professor forever.

He is not suitable for a management position.

When he achieves results, the credit goes to him; when he fails to do so, he puts all the blame on others.

In a caustic way, that's what he seemed to be doing.

He always stays in a safe place and gives various suggestions and instructions to others.

When everyone is in trouble, if he is sure of success, he will delay in showing up and only come on stage at the last minute to grab the benefits.

Although he may have made adequate preparations ahead of time to ensure success, he may believe that he will be more successful if he does not intervene directly, so he takes this roundabout approach.

Let’s get back to the topic of prophecy.

It is important that the prophecy be neither too specific nor too vague.

If the predictions are too specific, the room for action will be limited and there will be no way to deal with unexpected situations.

If the prophecy is too vague, there will be too much room for interpretation and the scope for action will be too broad.

In this case, a well-timed prophecy can serve as a basis for cleverly guiding both the enemy and ourselves. For those who are good at guiding, it is entirely possible to use such a prophecy to achieve their goals. "

Hearing this, George expressed his opinion.

"I once heard from my elders that in the East, there is a concept called 'Word Spirit', which believes that spoken words themselves have power."

"What you say is what you do? This is probably what I just mentioned about China."

“Oh, I see, that’s really unique and interesting.

This view is actually very close to magic.

Magic is also about converting the magic power in the body into spells by using ancient languages ​​that can easily act on things, such as Runes or Latin.

The prophecy itself may not have any power, but it is through everyone's strong desire that it comes closer to fulfillment."

Fred continued.

“The same is true of Eastern words and spirits. The words spoken by people with strong spiritual power will be more powerful. If a powerful wizard gives power to words, prophecies may also have actual effects.

Everyone thought Dumbledore was a great wizard. Even that man.

So, everyone listens to him, no doubt, and it becomes a form of magic, isn't it?"

"To remain a great wizard, perhaps he needs an enemy? Although he is undoubtedly a man with a strong sense of justice, he may be looking for enemies unconsciously.

Maybe he stayed as the principal because he didn't want his justice to be tarnished and didn't want to get close to power? It's not bad to consciously avoid power, but even if he became the principal, he couldn't completely suppress his ambition.

In fact, there is only one magic school, and almost all wizards in the entire British magic world are his students, so he is not completely powerless. If he really wants to stay away from power, he should live a secluded life. "

Percy usually didn't participate in discussions, but just listened quietly. Suddenly he muttered in a low voice:

"Not necessarily power, but this man does like to add majesty to himself. I thought so when I saw the admission notices Bill and Charlie received from Hogwarts. Didn't he also hold a position in the Wizarding Federation? I don't remember clearly, but it seems that he has many positions and medals.

Our parents always admire Dumbledore, but I don't think he is as honest as everyone says... It's enough for him to simply serve as the headmaster. After all, this is a letter from Hogwarts. Why is it necessary to decorate it with so much authority? If a Muggle family received the letter, wouldn't they be completely confused? Despite this, Dumbledore still wrote it so exaggeratedly. This desire for self-display has already been revealed in the admission letter, which really makes people feel a little weird..."

"You're right. You are worthy of being my brother. You have a sharp vision."

“I see, what Percy said makes sense, I didn’t notice these details before.

Oh my god... Did he instill his authority in the children who were about to enter Hogwarts and their parents before they entered school? Although everyone was not sure, because these titles were piled up so much, they felt that he was an extraordinary person and were guided from the beginning.

Especially those who are of Muggle origin. After they enter school, if someone from the wizarding world says that "the headmaster is really great", they will believe it without a doubt.

Perhaps even people from the wizarding world would be surprised by his titles? But for Muggle-borns who know nothing, this kind of guidance might be more effective.

As for the pure-blood nobles, they might have felt disgusted the moment they saw the admission letter filled with titles.

Thinking about it this way, for Dumbledore, the position of headmaster of a magic school is really a very advantageous role for him, as he is good at guiding from the very beginning. "

After saying these words, Ron seemed to be lost in thought seriously.
