After that, everything was back to normal.

Harry quickly turned his attention away from the unreliable Divination class and devoted himself to Quidditch training. Because of Ellie's interference in the first year, he was not selected by Professor McGonagall to join the Quidditch team. Instead, he joined the Quidditch team in the second year. Of course, Harry naturally had a fight with Malfoy.

But none of this has anything to do with Ellie.

In fact, she was discussing another issue concerning school with Dumbledore.

That's security.

so……

"I don't know whether I should approve of your approach, Miss Ellie."

Dumbledore looked at the crystal ball in front of him with a complicated expression. This was Ellie's latest invention of magic, "Senluo Wanxiang". To put it simply, she sealed these spells in the crystal balls, and then installed these crystal balls in suitable locations to record everything that happened there like a surveillance camera.

“This may make our students very uncomfortable.”

"I don't see any problem with that, Headmaster Dumbledore."

Ellie didn't care about Dumbledore's statement at all.

"I don't plan to install these things in the bathroom or dormitory, but I think Hogwarts students must behave in a manner consistent with a normal wizard in public. I don't care if they have sex in their private space, but they should follow the rules in public... Aren't rules and laws set for this?"

“But we should trust the students…”

"If you really can do what you say, then don't always secretly observe Harry Potter's every move like a perverted voyeur."

Ellie retorted directly, which made Dumbledore speechless for a long time. Finally, he sighed softly.

"Miss Ellie, you seem to hate me."

You want to play the emotional card when the logic is not convincing? Do you think I am the idiot Harry?

"I not only hate you, technically I hate all wizards."

Ellie had no intention of denying this at all.

"In my opinion, wizards are parasites of human civilization. You live on humans, but you look down on ordinary people and think you are great. However, your life and death are not worth mentioning to humans. Even after what happened to Voldemort, wizards did not change at all... Frankly speaking, I am extremely disappointed with the wizarding world. All the wizards here, whether old or young, are just like you. They exude a kind of aging smell."

"hehe……"

Hearing Ellie's merciless answer, Dumbledore chuckled and sat back in his chair.

"I understand what you mean, Miss Ellie. But please believe me, I know what problems have arisen in the wizarding world, but solving these problems will not be done overnight..."

"Ah, I understand. Petty-bourgeois socialism. On the one hand, they want to join the ranks of the bourgeoisie, but on the other hand, they are afraid of falling into the position of the proletariat. On the one hand, they want to participate in the leadership of public affairs to protect their own interests, but on the other hand, they are afraid that inappropriate confrontational behavior will anger the rulers."

At this point, Ellie crossed her arms and squinted her eyes at Dumbledore, who scratched his head, looking a little confused.

"I don't quite understand what you mean, Miss Ellie."

"Although I don't like Voldemort's goal, I admire his style of action. No matter what his goal is, at least he has set out to do it. And Headmaster Dumbledore, you are not as clear as your enemy in this regard... Although I think it's useless to say this."

Having said that, Ellie glanced at Dumbledore again and then looked away.

To be honest, Ellie didn't think much of Dumbledore. After all, he was just a conservative, full of bourgeois weakness and compromise. Voldemort made such a big fuss, and Dumbledore could have used it to completely suppress the status and power of pure-blood wizards in the magic world and unite most wizards from Muggle families to overthrow the class of pure-blood wizards. But he did nothing in the end, which was what Ellie despised the most.

To put it bluntly, Dumbledore was afraid of causing a stir in the entire British wizarding world, so he did nothing. After Voldemort's defeat, most of the well-known figures in the wizarding world either died or went into hiding. As a beacon of the British wizarding world, this was Dumbledore's best opportunity.

But what did he do?

He did nothing, he did not even form a team that followed his will in his own territory, in Hogwarts - of course, as an old-school wizard who had not undergone ideological transformation, Ellie did not expect him to understand the principles of class struggle. Perhaps in Dumbledore's narrow values, he still regarded this war as a war between the "bad wizard" Voldemort and other good wizards oppressed by the "bad wizards".

He did not see that the reason why Voldemort was causing trouble was ultimately the class struggle between purebloods and half-bloods, which was ultimately a naked act of oppression by one class over another. This was an inevitable part of historical progress, and Dumbledore's hope for the self-healing of wizard society rather than comprehensive reform ultimately led to the current situation.

If Dumbledore had used the opportunity to criticize the theory of bloodline after Voldemort's death, win over a large number of half-blood wizards, and express opposition and propose reforms to the social rule of pure-blood wizards, Voldemort would not have been left without anyone to help him when he returned eleven years later.

In the final analysis, Dumbledore is still a weak bourgeois compromiser, and the weakness and compromise of the bourgeoisie are clearly visible in him. More importantly, he clearly knew that Voldemort would be resurrected sooner or later, but he still let it go and placed all his hopes on a savior.

In the final analysis, this is no different from eliminating the "bad king" and then hoping that the prince can become a "good king" and lead their people to live a happy and stable life. It can be said that from the beginning to the end, Dumbledore probably never thought of overthrowing the entire system and making the king disappear completely...

"Forget it. There's no point in telling you this. I just came to ask you whether you want to install this or not. These crystal balls can be used as lamps and embedded in the wall. In this way, if something happens, we can quickly know the truth without the need for some troublesome spells such as truth serum or Legilimency..."

"this……"

“Boom boom boom!”

Just as Dumbledore was hesitating, there was a sudden knock on the door, and then a teacher rushed in.

"Professor Dumbledore, please come here quickly, something happened!"

Hearing this, Dumbledore hurriedly stood up, and Ellie followed him out of the headmaster's office - in fact, she had already guessed what had happened.

As expected, when Dumbledore and Ellie arrived at the door of Gryffindor College, they saw that the portrait that originally served as the door of the room had been completely torn, and even the canvas had been torn away, and the Fat Lady that was originally on it was nowhere to be found. Seeing this scene, Dumbledore frowned, and then turned to Professor McGonagall beside him.

"We need to find the Fat Lady, Professor McGonagall. Go to Mr. Filch immediately and have him search every picture in the castle..."

"I don't think it's that troublesome."

However, before Dumbledore finished speaking, he was interrupted by Ellie. She picked up the wand and tapped it. Soon a beam of light came out of the wand and pointed to a painting on the ceiling. Everyone looked along the beam of light and soon saw the Fat Lady hiding behind the hippopotamus.

Looking at the Fat Lady, Dumbledore asked hurriedly.

"Fat Lady, who did this?"

"oh……!"

The fat lady who had been hiding behind the hippopotamus only now poked her head out tremblingly, screaming anxiously.

"He has devilish eyes and a soul as dark as his name. It's him, the Headmaster, the one everyone's talking about. Here he is, inside the castle! Sirius Black!"

“…”

Hearing this, Dumbledore's expression changed slightly, and then he looked at Professor McGonagall beside him again.

"Immediately send everyone back to the auditorium, and search the castle..."

Having said that, Dumbledore looked at Ellie and was silent for a moment.

"Ms. Ellie, I allow you to install the magic device in various public places in the school. For the safety of students, it seems that we have to make a small sacrifice."

"I really want to know, what did you sacrifice? Self-esteem?"

Hearing Dumbledore's answer, Ellie snorted and then turned and left.

After that, Dumbledore ordered all the students from the four colleges to spend the night in the Great Hall, while the others and the ghosts conducted a thorough search of the entire Hogwarts - of course they found nothing, and Ellie just installed the magic crystal balls, and she didn't expect the group of teachers to be able to catch Sirius.

But then again, Ellie remembered the joke again.

"Hagrid, say that again?"

"Hogwarts is the safest place."

“HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!”

It almost made me laugh to death.

Of course, after a whole night of trouble, the final result was nothing. Sirius Black was not in Hogwarts, and no one knew where he was hiding.

The next day, with the appearance of a new painting, the students returned to their colleges to rest, and Harry quickly focused his attention on this year's Quidditch competition. The first game of the year was between him and Malfoy's Slytherin.

But the weather is not very good.

Looking at the violent storm outside, everyone gasped.

“Are we going to play in this weather?”

Harry couldn't help but feel confused. As a British man, he had seen some football matches at his uncle's house. In this kind of weather, there was an 80% chance that the football matches would be suspended.

"Impossible. We can only play in this weather so as not to be looked down upon by those Slytherins."

“But in this weather, I’m afraid the audience won’t even be able to see our performance clearly.”

Alia looked a little frustrated. She raised her head and looked outside the umbrella. She saw that they couldn't even see the people in the stands clearly in the howling wind and heavy rain. They could only barely tell which college they belonged to by the color of their cloaks.

"Don't worry about that."

Wood seemed less anxious.

"Professor McGonagall just told me that Miss Ellie has invented a new magic that allows everyone to see our performance clearly...so we must perform better and not make a fool of ourselves!"

As they talked, everyone strode into the arena.

At the same time, suddenly, dazzling fireworks exploded, shot straight into the sky, and then dispersed.

“Bang, bang, bang!!”

The shining lights immediately ignited the enthusiasm of the audience in the auditorium. They shouted loudly and waved their hands vigorously. However, an even more surprising scene happened next.

The scattered fireworks gradually formed four rectangular, glass-like objects in front of the audience seats. Then, the figures of the players on both sides of the field emerged clearly on them - as if four transparent cameras were shooting them from different angles with different lenses.

“Wow!”

Seeing this scene, the audience cheered even more enthusiastically, and the Quidditch players below were also shocked when they saw their clear appearance magnified on the screen. Wood even forced himself to suppress the urge to tremble, patted Harry's shoulder hard, and shouted at the same time.

"Let's go, for Gryffindor!!!"
