Harry Potter and the Old Ones

"Heaven?" Ron stared at Hermione strangely and shouted, "Heaven? You call this heaven?"

"Yes." Hermione said, "Isn't it? We finally have the opportunity to learn more advanced magic."

"Not everyone is you, Hermione!" Ron said angrily, "If Tiera really does this, believe me, at least half of the people in the wizarding world will hate him to death, at least I know that I am sure I can’t accomplish so much, just O.W.Ls alone——”

"Oh, come on Ron." Hermione rolled her eyes and interrupted, "You just don't want to learn. If you are willing to learn, you can at least get an O in every subject."

"And think about it from another aspect, the knowledge Tiera imparted during her Master of Magic and Doctor of Magic years is knowledge that many wizards dream of and even pay the price of their lives to obtain." Hermione said, "And these The price of acquiring knowledge after Tiera founded the Magic University was just a few exams. This is simply an unimaginable good thing. What is this not paradise?"

"Well," Dumbledore interrupted at the right time, "To be precise, it's probably more than just an exam."

"First of all, I completely agree with Tiera's plan to establish a magic university, but I don't agree with his next strategy." Dumbledore paused and continued, "Tiera said magic university, magic graduate students , in addition to special assessments, doctors of magic also need to go through a political review before admission."

"Political review?" Hermione asked nervously, "What is that?"

"It means whether there is a record of maliciously wounding others at Hogwarts before entering the Magic University, or a record of stealing relatively large property, etc." Dumbledore said.

"Oh, fortunately, that's not too strict." Hermione breathed a sigh of relief, "I thought you had to have some kind of talent."

"Tiera has always believed that hard work and pursuit of knowledge are the best talents." Dumbledore said, "But if you want to take the Master of Magic or Doctor of Magic, you will be examined to see if any of your immediate family members within three generations have committed any crime. Those who commit serious crimes, such as those who have committed serious injuries, as well as those who have engaged in extremely serious illegal activities such as hooliganism, theft, corruption, gambling, fraud, drug abuse, etc., will not pass the political review."

"It's as if Tiera has never committed any of the above illegal acts." Dumbledore muttered helplessly.

"That's good!" Hermione said, "This will prevent powerful power from flowing into the hands of bad people and giving birth to a second Voldemort."

"What I object to is not political review." Dumbledore explained. "What I object to is why we have to trace back three generations of immediate family members. I think this is unfair. The faults of my parents' generation, as well as those of my grandparents. The younger generations should not be left to shoulder the burden.”

"I think Tiera should have considered the influence of her original family. If someone like Draco Malfoy really allowed him to master extremely powerful magical power, I am afraid that Muggles like me and Tiera would A born wizard is not even qualified to go to Hogwarts, and" Hermione paused and said, "and Tiera did not prevent Malfoy from going to Hogwarts, or even from the University of Magic. As long as he has not committed any serious injuries or thefts, he is still eligible to apply for the Magic University."

"Haha." Dumbledore smiled faintly, "I don't know who made Draco Malfoy and others not even get into Hogwarts."

"This is different. While they were at Hogwarts-" Hermione wanted to continue arguing, but was interrupted by Dumbledore's gentle wave of his hand-

"Okay, okay, I know." Dumbledore said kindly, "This is the difference between Tiera and I. He believes that regardless of age, if you do something wrong, you should accept the price, and I think children should be given enough care and opportunities when they are young and guided to the right path.”

"Obviously this is how I guided Tiera." Dumbledore muttered again, "In the end, this child still walked away like a human being or a ghost."

"Tiera is different from them!" Hermione pointed out, "Tiera is--"

"Hey! Albus! Long time no see!"

Just when Hermione was about to make a few excuses for Tiera, an abrupt and energetic voice suddenly interrupted their conversation——

Harry, Hermione, Ron and Dumbledore couldn't help but follow the sound and look over -

The owner of the voice was a short, fat, and slightly bald little old man.

The little old man had a rosy complexion and a round rosacea nose. His joy at seeing Dumbledore was almost beyond words, and he rushed towards Dumbledore with his arms wide open.

"Oh, Mr. Slughorn." Dumbledore reached out in surprise but somewhat unexpectedly, but was given a solid bear hug by Slughorn.

"What a rare passion, Mr. Slughorn." Dumbledore said strangely after breaking free from Slughorn's bear hug.

"Classmates, you must be curious about who this is." Dumbledore turned around and introduced, "Horace Slughorn, the former Potions Professor at Hogwarts and the former Head of Slytherin House, is now Retire at home and enjoy a wonderful retirement life.”

"Hello Mr. Slughorn." Harry, Ron and Hermione looked at each other and then greeted each other in unison.

"Don't be so hasty to say hello, classmates," said Slughorn, "and don't be so hasty to call me Mr. Slughorn."

"This must be Harry, Harry Potter, right?" Slughorn smiled at Harry and nodded.

"Oh, yes, look at me, it's so rude." Dumbledore patted his head gently and said, "This is Harry, Harry Potter, I don't need to introduce him, and Hermione." Ranger, Harry's good friend, and Ron Weasley, Arthur Weasley's youngest son, that troublemaker Arthur Weasley's youngest son, you remember Arthur, right?"

"Ah? Remember, remember hello, Mr. Potter." Slughorn grabbed Harry's hand and shook it.

Not sure if it was an illusion, Harry felt that Slughorn's eyes kept turning on him, but soon, like a beast giving up a piece of tender and delicious lamb, Professor Slughorn's eyes turned away with difficulty. Harry moved away.

"Principal Dumbledore, I'm so sorry. The re-employment invitation you sent me two years ago was missed by my damn house elf. It wasn't until recently when it was cleaning the room that it came out from the bottom of the mailbox." Silla Ghorn said apologetically, "To be honest, life after retirement is so boring that it drives me crazy. If we hadn't had a little unpleasant misunderstanding in the early years, I would have wanted to get in touch to see if we could Find a way for me to go back to teach or something.”

"Huh?" Dumbledore seemed stunned, not understanding what Slughorn meant by what he said now.

"By the way, I remember the previous news report said that the little wizard Tiera will continue to study at Hogwarts, right?" Slughorn said expectantly and excitedly.
