Chapter 579 Why Must There Be Value

When the examiners from the Examination Authority arrived at Hogwarts, they received an unprecedented grand reception – not only did Headmaster Black attend the event in his best attire, he also prepared extra meals for the students in advance.

Everyone was ordered to attend the reception, and at this time, Dumbledore took action directly.

Witnessed by the entire Hogwarts faculty, students and examiners, the school’s astronomy tower made a loud noise, and then the entire tower collapsed and broke into pieces on the ground.

Under the huge smoke and dust, everyone was stunned.

The Astronomy Tower blew up!
The students cheered, and the spell restricting them was lifted at the same time.

It was not known who started the movement, but the students began to shout “Get Blake out of school” in unison.

…

The final scene froze on Sirius sitting in the headmaster’s office receiving the dismissal letter, while Dumbledore, who was watching with the time-stop spell, nodded with a smile, turned and left, canceling his time-stop spell.

A line of subtitles appeared on the final screen – This dream comes from Peeves’ memory. Any conflict is purely Peeves’ prank.

The dream ended amidst laughter.

…

“so good.”

“Yeah, that’s great.”

After the show, the students reluctantly left the empty room temporarily used for the screening, discussing non-stop.

To be fair, this long dream sequence that resembles a movie is actually quite bad, but it is still fresh.

Hogwarts had stage plays before, and students had rehearsed them privately over the years, even mixing in some magical techniques from time to time, but that was nothing compared to the freely created dreams.

Moreover, the young Dumbledore was indeed handsome – this was a huge highlight, and everyone kept exclaiming in amazement from the beginning.

There had been occasional photographs of him when the legend was first serialized, but they were inferior to the long dream of Dumbledore that I had just seen.

A fresh presentation method and a handsome enough protagonist – these two alone are enough to support the long dream sequence which has a decent plot.

Although the plot is still the same old fun-filled routine, what else do we need in this era?

The administrator is very dignified in front of the students, but is vulnerable in front of Dumbledore’s time-stop magic. The strict Principal Black arbitrarily sets his own rules in the school, but under Dumbledore’s time-stop magic, he even forgets what he is supposed to do.

The plot is even a bit brainless – the main focus is on a person pretending to be good and then getting slapped in the face. But who cares about the logic? It’s just fun to watch!

Especially in the climax part, the Astronomy Tower was blown up, which really made the students of Hogwarts very happy – what a good thing! How many students have not thought about such a good thing as blowing up the school!
Even Peeves’ dream sounds really cool, it’s going to blow up the school!
There is also time-stopping magic, treasures pointed out by ghosts, and the occasional chicken soup – ‘We are not studying for Headmaster Black or any other wizard. They are not worth punishing ourselves with ignorance. We master more knowledge only to meet a better self, not for a certain headmaster or professor.’

It’s a pity that these things are nothing compared to Dumbledore’s overly handsome face and the bombing of the school.

–

“It looks like we succeeded, Andrew.”

Hughes finally let go of his worries, and he spoke to Andrew with genuine joy.

“Of course, the bombing of the astronomical tower can be regarded as a matter that is too similar to a legend. Even gods would not have thought of this. I am worthy of it.”

“Let’s think about how to explain it first. Although the dean has no objection to blowing up the astronomy tower, I don’t know what the other professors think about it. But don’t worry about the principal. Professor Blake will help us.” Andrew forced himself to look a little worried.

After all, it’s not a big deal, and there’s no need to worry about imitators – as far as the protective magic of Hogwarts is concerned, you really have to count on your fingers to find a wizard who can perform similar casting movements.

To be more precise, Andrew suspected that the current Dumbledore could not do it without the authority of the headmaster. More than a thousand years of spell reinforcement was no joke. Even the worst headmaster in these thousand years did not forget to add some of his own specialties to the school’s protective magic.

“Regardless of anything else, I’m sure these students are interested in it. It can also be regarded as expanding the film industry and enhancing the employment scope and entertainment capabilities of wizards…Okay, it’s not a waste of time. After receiving the benefits, I should work harder to test those materials.”

While greeting the students who were leaving, Andrew was secretly thinking about their work plans for the second half of the year. He looked very relaxed.

But after everyone had left and several students in their dormitory were preparing to pack up and leave, Hal suddenly asked with a confused look in his eyes.

“But is it okay to waste your time like this, Andrew?”

“what?”

Andrew was stunned for a moment and glanced at Hal.

This kid didn’t open the champagne, what’s wrong?
“I thought about it, and it seems that what we do doesn’t have much value. It may be a good entertainment for us, but for you, Andrew, this…”

Did you watch the news, kid?

It would be more appropriate if there was a price.

“Don’t I need entertainment, Hal?”

Andrew shook his head. “Besides, there are not so many meaningful things. If you try to do it according to the meaning, you will die. Entertainment is entertainment. It doesn’t need any meaning. If you really want meaning, spending a day in the library studying is more meaningful than anything else. But what’s the point?”

“Then let me ask you, what do you think is the meaning of news?”

“Let more people know what’s going on.”

“Does it make sense to know what happened? If the Weird Sisters sang a new song, and the news forced the news on them… Never mind, this example doesn’t make sense.”

Andrew shook his head and stared at Hal.

Sure enough, he said that this was not Hal’s style. This kid never hesitated like this.

“Have you been recruited?”

Kevin grinned.

“Yes, this kid has fallen for it again. I’ve told you so many times that those witches are so scary. He dared to eat something given to him on such a day – the love potion this time is a bit strange.”

Andrew smiled and searched for the antidote in his pocket.

He has been carrying this thing with him ever since he got the potion – God knows what the Ministry of Magic thinks, it is not illegal for witches to drug!

It’s not even illegal to enter the men’s dormitory! If he hadn’t been able to hold it down and the door of the dormitory had been reinforced by him, who knows what would have happened!
Feed the potion, detoxify, and wait for Hal to wake up.

Andrew smiled and looked at the other roommates.

“Hal, let me ask you, what is the meaning and what is the cost?”
