HP: I just wanted to drop out of school, but I saved the world

When the Sorting ceremony could not go on, Dumbledore finally had no time to work on the two unstable factors.

He really didn't understand how Jian Yu could cause such a big mess.

The opening ceremony, which lasted only a few hours, was full of twists and turns. First there was a fight, then the process of house division was affected, and the minds of the freshmen were distorted.

As a respectable man, Dumbledore quickly realized that he had to start making up for this mess:

He must put out the fire quickly, calm the situation, and give everyone in the school a reasonable explanation and explanation!

"Ahem, ahem -- please be quiet --!"

Dumbledore, who was coughing until his throat was smoking, felt his ears and brain buzzing. He tried to comfort her:

"I want to emphasize that the Sorting Ceremony is a thousand-year-old tradition of Hogwarts."

"The Sorting Hat will assign you to a house based on your talents and qualities. Please do not be prejudiced against the results. You will discover your own strengths and find like-minded friends there."

As soon as he said this, he keenly observed that the freshmen's faces showed dissatisfaction.

"No one is biased! I think Gryffindor is great!" the freshly baked little lion retorted, "But, if the four of us are separated, how can we go to Slytherin to play video games with Senior Jane? How can we fight... and play together?"

Dumbledore suddenly realized that these first-year students were different from what he had expected:

What they protested was that the Sorting Hat did not take their own wishes into consideration and that they were unable to be with their friends, not that it was biased against the house to which they were assigned!

Listen to what they say -

"If we are friends, we should go to Slytherin together", "But we were sorted into four houses"...

The reason they can say such things and are so enthusiastic about Slytherin is that they have just entered the school, and all they have in their minds is playing video games with their friends and watching a Slytherin battle. They don't look at the college with those stereotypes!

In other words, they have not yet looked at the relationship between colleges through tinted glasses, nor have they used their own college to determine their stance!

In a trance, his heart was suddenly touched by something:

He suddenly thought of the example from a long time ago...

Lily and Severus...

Dumbledore turned his head slightly and looked at the seat of Snape, the Head of Slytherin.

As expected, the other party had turned into an ice sculpture, sitting there motionless, with empty and void eyes.

Dumbledore sighed as he realized:

Before these kids became Slytherins, Gryffindors, Ravenclaws, Hufflepuffs—

They all belong to Hogwarts!

They were already friends!

This looks like a huge mess...

In fact, it was an opportunity that Jian Yu and the Slytherins she led created subtly with their influence!

So that he could announce in front of the whole school:

The barriers between colleges should be eliminated, and the spirit of unity and friendship that transcends colleges is most worthy of promotion!

This is exactly the "dawn of ending the division"!

In a split second, he understood what he should say and do.

"Before answering your questions, I would like to say a few words off topic."

Dumbledore said solemnly:

"I think everyone here has heard the song that the Sorting Hat sings. The four founders will choose the qualities and talents they like and place the new students into their houses."

"But in the past, I often heard some sayings about the qualities of the house among students, even before you entered school: Gryffindors are reckless and brainless; Ravenclaws are nerds; Slytherins are ambitious dark wizards; and Hufflepuffs are a place where only idiots with nowhere to go stay."

Hearing such slanderous remarks, every student had a look of dissatisfaction on their faces, and boos filled the auditorium.

"I think you should know how such a statement grows. There are some people in each college who think this way. They think that by belittling other colleges, they can elevate their own position and show that their college is the best. They gain some kind of self-satisfaction from this. They also encourage other students to join the ranks of mutual contempt, which makes the conflicts between colleges more and more intense."

Some students suddenly lowered their heads and turned away, as if their thoughts had been discovered, and remained silent.

"What I want to tell you is that there is no good or bad in the academy. Every academy is equal. The only difference is the people in it."

"Gryffindor's bravery, if taken too far, becomes recklessness, and some students even use it as an excuse to bully others; Ravenclaw's wisdom and research, if taken too far, can lead to obsession and forgetting the distinction between good and evil; Hufflepuff's loyalty and diligence, if taken too far, can become blind loyalty; and Slytherin's ambition, in order to win, can lead to the use of dark magic at all costs."

Dumbledore glanced at each of the students at the four long tables, and was satisfied to see that they had all grown quiet, lost in thought.

"I hope that each of you can open your eyes and see the shining points and valuable qualities of other colleges. It is foolish and blind to label students from other colleges with prejudice. If you take off your tinted glasses, you will see Slytherin's ambition, Gryffindor's courage to speak out, Hufflepuff's friendship and solidarity, and Ravenclaw's hard work."

Suddenly, there was applause in the auditorium. All the students looked in the direction of the applause, only to find that it was their head of house - Professor McGonagall, Professor Sprout, and Professor Flitwick - who all clapped in unison.

——Even Snape slowly closed his palms again and again!

It was such a spectacle that all the students couldn't help but cast their eyes towards their Potions professor to confirm that he didn't have another soul attached to the back of his head.

"I am very pleased," Dumbledore continued, "that the new students were able to raise their doubts about their house sorting on the first day of school. I am touched that you did not look at the four houses with long-standing prejudices."

"What I want to tell you is that no matter which college you are in, it does not mean that you are just a student of that college. You belong to Hogwarts, you are a part of Hogwarts. The identity of a Hogwarts student will always exist higher than that of a college student."

Suddenly, there was a loud applause in the auditorium. Every student was clapping, and the applause was so uniform!

They thought of the group work system and class arrangements that had been readjusted in many courses over the past few years.

Although there were quarrels and dissatisfactions, they did establish friendships outside the academy and realized that everyone was essentially a human being with all seven emotions and six desires!

They thought about the days and nights they had played together in the same club since the consoles became popular.

Ravenclaws are not just bookworms, they also play games all night long.

Gryffindors are not reckless and arrogant brainless people. They can also use tactics to cleverly lure Filch away;

Hufflepuffs are not just good at eating and drinking. When they are discovered by professors, they never betray their accomplices from other houses.

Slytherin is not a group of sinister dark wizards. They are even willing to donate game consoles to everyone!

"Now, I can answer your questions."

Dumbledore turned his gaze to the freshmen who stood up:

"The education system at Hogwarts has undergone many reforms in recent years. Now, many compulsory courses are taught by the four houses together and group assignments are completed together. The purpose is to let you learn from each other's strengths and weaknesses, enhance your understanding of each other, and build friendships."

"At the same time, Hogwarts also has a club for game lovers, and people from the four colleges can join it. Your senior sister Jane will not have any opinions about you just because you are not in Slytherin. She is the best at accepting and integrating different perspectives."

"Therefore, you don't have to worry about losing friendships and opportunities for communication because you are sorted into different colleges."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was another round of applause, and many freshmen looked relaxed.

Dumbledore breathed a sigh of relief knowing that his explanation had been accepted and had conveyed a spirit of unity.

He finally regained his previous thoughts, took a slight step at a clever angle, successfully blocked the line of sight between the unstable factors with his body, and stood there for a long time until all the freshmen were assigned.

Then, he finished talking about the semester's precautions at the speed of light, announced the end of the opening ceremony, and watched the four long tables of students leave the auditorium.

But as he was leaving the auditorium, Jian Yu suddenly felt something strange:

Did the principal's speech this year skip the part introducing the new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor?
