Chapter 18 - Chapter 18 Teacher

"Yes, on the south corridor on the second floor. I remember seeing Mr. Longbottom and a few other young wizards. Forgive me, I didn't see clearly which academy those wizards were from."

"Slytherin."

"There were several of them at that time."

"Three."

"OK, I remember..."

In this way, Kaisen guided Neville to tell the truth one sentence at a time.

Of course, it has undergone a little bit of artistic processing, such as Neville fighting three people alone and finally being defeated accidentally.

Also, after being seen by Kaisen, she was forcibly dragged to Professor McGonagall's office instead of hiding in the stairwell and crying.

Of course, there was also a piece of parchment recording the true events that appeared in Professor McGonagall's hands.

She listened to the truth processed by art, and saw the truth written on parchment...

soon.

"Please feel free to sit here, Professor Kaysen, Mr. Longbottom, follow me." Professor McGonagall sighed and pulled Neville out of the office.

And Kayson...

Professor McGonagall seemed to be asking me to wait for a while. Perhaps there was something else she hadn't said. In that case, I'd wait a while.

Soon Professor McGonagall returned to the office.

"Thank you so much, Professor Kaisen."

"It's okay, how did you deal with it in the end?"

"The ones who had a conflict with Mr. Longbottom were three first-year wizards from Slytherin, Mr. Draco Malfoy and his friends and followers, Mr. Goyle and Mr. Crabbe." Professor McGonagall made a pot of black tea for Kaysen.

"Malfoy, I met him once at Flourish and Blotts. He looked quite cute then. How did he deal with it in the end?" Kaisen sighed.

"Slytherin was deducted 30 points, but to be honest, it's useless. Soon these 30 points will be added back by Severus with various reasons." Professor McGonagall said.

"Scores can only restrain honest little wizards with a strong sense of honor... To be honest, it's like there is no punishment." Kaisen complained.

"That's actually the case. We've gotten used to it over the years. Gryffindor and Slytherin use spells against each other in school, and even engage in heated arguments at work. Ultimately, they still use their wands to decide who's the winner."

"We're all used to it, to be honest," Professor McGonagall explained.

"We can't just...let this kind of school bullying go on like this."

"I'm sorry, but actually... please don't spread these words." Professor McGonagall gave a warning first.

"uh-huh."

"This kind of small conflict among students can actually be considered a teaching strategy at Hogwarts. In a sense, it can stimulate the curiosity of young wizards, because learning magic can really improve combat capabilities immediately."

"From ancient times to the present, the young wizards at Hogwarts have gradually improved through this kind of back-and-forth mutual attacks."

Kaisen felt uncomfortable listening to this.

"I don't understand...Okay, it's easy to understand what you said, but it still shocked me. Will this really cause psychological problems for the young wizards?"

"I can only say that Hogwarts has produced many crazy people, but fortunately, all the previous Hufflepuff head teachers have served as psychological therapists, so the young Hufflepuff wizards are very popular in Hogwarts and outside." Professor McGonagall responded.

".....Am I being too nosy by sending Neville Longbottom here today?...First of all, I am simply asking you a question, but if I encounter such a situation in the future, I will still take care of it. How Hogwarts uses the Gu-raising model to improve students' combat capabilities is Hogwarts' business, but I cannot stand by and ignore this kind of bullying." Kaisen said seriously.

"Of course not. Neville is an exception. He is too honest. He dares not resist."

"Why? His family background? I remember... uh... I remember that few young wizards of this generation had happy families because of Voldemort, but why is it only him?"

[Trust from Professor McGonagall +10]

"I don't know much about the Longbottom family's private affairs, but maybe it's Mr. Longbottom's grandmother. That lady is too strong, so strong that it's scary." Professor McGonagall guessed.

"Does Hogwarts support home visits?"

"I don't recommend you do this unless you want to see an article in the Daily Prophet the next day about old Lady Longbottom slaughtering people at Malfoy Manor."

"I know how powerful that old lady is." Kaisen hurriedly deleted his home visit plan.

"Anyway, I'm still very grateful to you for bringing Neville here. Eh... maybe he should go to Hufflepuff, so that he wouldn't suffer such unfair treatment."

"uh-huh."

Kaisen left Professor McGonagall's office and experienced the same two things. His plan to knock the clerk of Flourish and Blotts bookstore with a club in the middle of the night was temporarily put on hold.

He returned to his own office. Since this kind of fight between little wizards was an implicit rule of Hogwarts, he might be able to make a small change.

He also understood what Professor McGonagall said. The wizarding world is different from the Muggle world. In a sense, the wizarding world is a bit like... a jungle society. It is not so civilized. On the contrary, it has a bit of social Darwinism.

As a professor at Hogwarts, I can certainly easily protect a student, or even a group of students, within Hogwarts, but they will all graduate.

Should he leave Hogwarts? Should he spread his influence further? Should he continue to protect the wizarding world?

That's something even Dumbledore might not be able to do.

I can't protect the weak, at least I can't protect them forever.

Then the only option is to give the weak the power to resist.

For example, Neville Longbottom was able to enter Gryffindor, which represents courage. This means that he must have hidden courage in his bones that is not revealed.

Perhaps I could change some of his inner thoughts and make him pick up the wand and resist bravely.

In this way, I have done what a professor and a teacher should do.

A teacher is someone who imparts knowledge and resolves doubts. However, if one is only half-hearted in imparting knowledge, he may not be able to do it.

But helping the little wizard resist bullying, or eliminating the cowardice in his heart and letting him bravely protect himself, can also be considered an alternative way to solve the problem.

After all, a teacher possesses these three qualities, and as a professor at Hogwarts, I must possess at least one of them.

Otherwise, how could he have the nerve to listen to the little wizards calling him professor and receiving a salary from Hogwarts.
