Harry Potter: From Muggle Cousin to Conceptual Wizard

Chapter 178 Detailed Explanation of Test Results! Old Deng's Sigh!

"Do you want to get tested? Malfoy can, and maybe some of you can too!"

After Draco entered the classroom, Dudley activated the 'Loud Voice' spell and shouted at the pureblood snakes in the distance.

Dudley spoke with a smile, but it frightened the pureblood snakes so much that they shook their heads and turned away in unison. Even the distraught Pansy was dragged away by Milison.

Dudley didn't care about that at all; he turned to look at the students from the four academies who hadn't left yet.

He said in a deep voice, "The screening test for this course is not like the sorting ceremony, which a person can only participate in once in their lifetime."

A person's thoughts and character can be changed, especially when they are a minor.

What you can't understand today, you might understand tomorrow. And those students who can understand today may not be able to maintain that understanding in the future.

Therefore, the screening test for my class is held once every second week of the month. Whether you passed or were eliminated last time, you have to take the test again before you can enter my classroom.

In other words, those of you who didn't pass the selection this time will have other opportunities in the future. We'll meet again sometime soon, so let's call it a day!

Dudley's words gave confidence to the eliminated students, especially most of the Griffin students, who were able to adjust their mindset and pass the next or the one after that selection process.

Those eliminated from Gryphon are used to being reckless and impulsive. As long as they are guided with rational and correct thinking, it is not too difficult for them to turn over a new leaf.

In comparison, the eliminations from Eagle Union and Slytherin are significantly more difficult to adjust. They are not reckless; on the contrary, they are all calm and intelligent people. Their inclination towards dark wizardry is the result of careful consideration or being influenced by their upbringing.

Without strong positive stimuli to influence them, they will inevitably follow the same path as Death Eaters and Dark Wizards.

The students who were eliminated left the classroom.

Dumbledore sighed several times and returned to the headmaster's office with the Sorting Hat on.

Today's unprecedented selection ceremony was something he, as the principal, had come with great enthusiasm to observe and oversee, but the result was not as he had hoped.

Although most students passed the screening, a considerable number did not pass or did not participate.

More than twenty students were eliminated from both Griffin House and Eagle House.

More than forty pure-blooded students from Slytherin did not participate, and of the mixed-blood students who did participate, half were eliminated, leaving sixteen or seventeen.

According to the statistics, out of a total of nearly 300 students, almost 100 failed to pass, which is a full third of the total.

Moreover, the majority of those who were eliminated were still high-achieving students with good grades in all their courses.

The root of the problem of dark wizards in the wizarding world lies in schools, in Hogwarts.

Only today did Dumbledore truly grasp the terrible conclusion that Dudley had once told him.

Imagine if Hogwarts continued as before, only teaching magical skills and neglecting the moral education of its students; then the nearly one hundred students selected today would be future dark wizards and Death Eaters.

After graduation, they will inevitably commit evil deeds, disrupt the order and stability of the magic world, and become enemies of the remaining nearly two hundred classmates.

Even if the White Wizards ultimately triumph, the number of wizards who sacrificed their lives during this period must have been considerable.

Moreover, it is highly likely that those students who excelled academically and had good practical skills were worn down by fighting each other.

Mediocre students can't become Aurors or threatening dark wizards, so they end up as ordinary people in the wizarding world and survive.

With these mediocre students, it would be good enough if they could just pass on the existing magic; don't even think about any magical innovation.

The idea that each generation of wizards is stronger than the last is pure wishful thinking.

Dumbledore was now even more grateful for Dudley's friendship, which broadened his horizons.

He became more attentive to developing courses in the field of thought and to introducing Muggle talent for training and teaching.

Back in the principal's office, he started reading books and writing letters, while also keeping an eye on Eckeris in her hospital bed for any unusual movements. He was extremely busy.

Dudley, after dismissing the eliminated students and Dumbledore, turned and entered the classroom, climbed the platform, and walked to the center of the large round platform in the middle of the classroom.

He addressed the nearly two hundred promising young members of the White Wizard faction.

"Congratulations to everyone for passing the selection process and being able to enter my class."

I believe everyone heard what I said at the door just now. The screening and testing for this course is not just once; it is retested every second week of the month.

I hope that all of you students here can always maintain a pure and original aspiration, and pass every test in the future, so that there will never be a day when I turn you away.

"We Gryffindor novices are not eliminated!"

As soon as Dudley finished speaking, Fred and George, the twins who were in charge of creating atmosphere, clenched their fists, stretched out their arms, and shouted.

This prompted loud agreement from the Gryffindor students who had passed the test.

Draco, sitting opposite the Gryffindor students, was not to be outdone. He proudly led his fifteen half-snake hybrids who had passed the test and also shouted.

The atmosphere was lively, and the Eagle School nominees and Badger School students were also deeply moved, shouting slogans.

They are all ensuring that their original intentions remain unchanged, so that they can pass every subsequent test.

Dali stood on the high platform in the middle, walked around, looked around the whole place, and was deeply moved by the faces that were still young but full of fighting spirit. He smiled.

He knew that time was cruel and no one could predict the future, but no one could deny the beauty of this moment.

Dali shouted excitedly for a while, and only after the students' excitement had subsided did he reach out and gesture to quiet them down.

“Very good! This is great, everyone keep it up! My class will officially begin after lunch. I won’t be lecturing now, but I will announce a few class appointments before class starts.”

After calming the students down, Dali changed the subject.

"Huh?" Everyone was stunned by Dali's words, and they looked at each other, bewildered.

Students at Hogwarts can serve as prefects, captains of the Quidditch team, and presidents of the student council and student guild, but there are no student officers for any particular subject.

This move by Dali has set a precedent once again.

"Please remain silent. I am now formally announcing the appointments. Students whose names I call, please stand up to receive my appointment and the special post medal I will bestow upon you!"

Dali emphasized the appointment process again, arousing the curiosity and anticipation of all the students.

"First and foremost... Harry Potter!"

Harry, somewhat bewildered, quickly stood up and waited for Dudley to continue.

Although his cousin hadn't told him about this beforehand, it didn't stop him from following his cousin's instructions.

Harry quickly adopted a serious expression and awaited Dudley's appointment.
