Harry Potter: From Muggle Cousin to Conceptual Wizard

Chapter 161 Teaching Matters, the Threshold for Taking Classes!

"Attention everyone! I have something to say about the transmission of the Tranquility Mantra!"

Dudley delivered a short and powerful opening speech to the students of the four colleges.

He quickly attracted the attention of everyone in the Great Hall, including the Slytherin upperclassmen who hadn't originally intended to give Dudley any face.

The Tranquility Charm, a spell hailed as the bane of dark magic, has been a source of great anxiety for pure-blood families obsessed with it.

Dali slowly scanned the expressions of the students from the four academies below the stage.

The pause lasted for a while, which whetted the students' appetites.

He continued unhurriedly, "It has been almost two weeks since Headmaster Dumbledore awarded me and Harry the Order of Merlin medals and announced the effects of the Stabilizing Charm to everyone and the entire wizarding world."

In the past two weeks, Harry, Headmaster Dumbledore, and I have received many letters from adult wizards in the wizarding world, most of them asking me to teach the Stabilizing Charm.

Meanwhile, at Hogwarts, many of the students present also subtly expressed to me and my cousin Harry their desire to learn this spell.

I know perfectly well that some people who want to learn the Tranquility Spell are doing so with the intention of resisting the harm of black magic and black wizards;

Some also harbored the idea of ​​breaking the Tranquility Spell and researching its counter-spell to clear obstacles for using black magic.

I want to make it clear to everyone here that I don't care what your intentions are when you come to me to learn the Tranquility Mantra. Whether you want to master it or break it, it doesn't matter.

However, this Stabilizing Charm was something Harry and I painstakingly created, and we're not short of money. We can't just openly teach the charm to everyone for the meager salary Dumbledore offers me.”

Dali paused again at this point.

The students from the four colleges below the stage immediately started chattering amongst themselves.

Dali paid special attention to the expressions of the students from each college.

Many people in Slytherin frowned. Dudley's words had exposed their wicked intentions. They had long wanted to learn the Tranquility Charm and, together with their fathers, try to develop a counter-charm.

Now, before they've even learned the Tranquility Mantra, this idea has already been made public by Dali, which inevitably makes them feel uneasy.

Although Dudley didn't care that they had this idea, he still set up some threshold for teaching them, which was clearly a roundabout way of restricting them.

Moreover, Harry Potter is a Gryffindor, and Dudley has always been close to Gryffindor, so Slytherin definitely has no chance.

While the Slytherin students were frowning and looking gloomy, the Gryphon students were all beaming with joy, as if it were Christmas.

The Gryffindor students believed that Dudley could limit them, and that they were determined to learn the Tranquility Charm!

As for the Badger Courtyard, they were in a very peaceful, laid-back state. Of course, they also wanted to learn the Tranquility Spell, but if they couldn't, it wasn't a big deal.

Some people in Eagle School also looked a little uneasy. They also wanted to break the Tranquility Charm and learn dark magic, but most of them were nervous, afraid that the threshold set by Dalishe would also keep them out and block their progress in learning.

"Dursley, you'd better hurry up and tell me! What kind of people can't take your class?"

After a bit of noise, the Weasley twins smiled and urged Dudley to continue explaining the requirements for attending the class.

Dali smiled in response to the two, then his expression turned serious, and the students from the four colleges continued:

"Don't panic, everyone. My conditions are very lenient."

First, Harry and I have always stood on the side of the white wizards, so students who come to my class must never have the idea of ​​becoming dark wizards.

My definition of a dark wizard differs from common knowledge in the magical world; it's more lenient.

Not everyone who studies black magic is a black wizard. The black wizards I understand are those who have gone mad from studying black magic, or those who are evil even without studying black magic, who lack normal moral standards, and who wantonly disrupt order and harm innocent people.

As long as you are not that kind of person, have no intention of becoming that kind of person, and promise that you will learn black magic within the limits of your willpower, then you meet the first requirement.

After Dudley finished stating the first condition and explaining it in detail, about half of the students in Slytherin's house frowned.

Their fathers were Death Eaters, and from a young age they were taught and instilled with the idea that they should assess situations and plunder the interests of others. Their hearts have become blackened, and it is difficult for them to turn back to white. It is even more impossible for them to guarantee that they will not harm innocent people.

At this point, their only hope was to deceive Dudley, betting that he wouldn't be able to see through their true thoughts.

A few people from Gryphon and Hawkeye looked uneasy after hearing the first condition.

The profession of dark wizard is not exclusive to Slytherin. Even among the most honest and unassuming Hufflepuffs, there have been several scoundrel dark wizards in history.

Based on historical data, the probability of students from the four houses becoming dark wizards is:

Slytherin > Gryphon > Eagle > Badger.

Therefore, the threshold conditions for Dudley are not only for Slytherin.

"The second point." Dali felt that the students below the stage had digested the content of the first point, and then spoke up again, "This point is very important, but I think that those who meet the first point will not have difficulty passing this screening."

Because I come from the Muggle world, I require that those who attend my classes not have any racial discrimination, not discriminate against Muggles, and not discriminate against Muggles and half-blood wizards as defined by the magical world.

Similarly, the Mongrel and Half-Blood wizards who come to my classes should not discriminate against pure-blood wizards as defined by the magical world.

"Ha ha ha ha--"

When Dudley finished reciting the second half of the content, he had already eliminated 60-70% of the junior wizards in Slytherin. When he finished the second half, some Slytherin students couldn't help but burst into laughter, as if they had heard some outrageous joke.

Dali didn't interrupt the little snakes' mocking laughter. He stood silently on the stage, staring at them coldly. Some students from the other three colleges wanted to laugh along, but sensing the awkward atmosphere, they ultimately didn't.

Finally, Dudley and the other students from the three houses stared at the Slytherin students who kept mocking them.

He kept staring at the snakes until he felt uneasy and couldn't bear the silent, cold violence, and slowly stopped laughing.

Dali then spoke in a cold voice: "Have you laughed enough? If not, you can keep laughing. I promise I won't deduct your college points."

No one answered from Slytherin.

Dudley continued, "Ignorant and pitiful Slytherin students!"

Do you think you are born with the privilege to discriminate against others based on their bloodline?

Do you think that so-called pure-blood wizards are inherently noble?

Do you think this has always been the case?

I tell you, a thousand years ago, wizards in the magical world generally believed that wizards born from Muggles were a miracle bestowed by heaven, and that Muggle wizards were more gifted beings!

Back then, there was no such disgusting term as 'Mudblood,' and no one would have used that term to describe a Muggle wizard!
