Chapter 1057 Brainwashing and Contradiction

The world of adults is not black and white, and they often have ambiguous compromises.

However, in the world of fairy tales, black and white must be distinct.

When Umbridge and others chose to raid the werewolf community out of greed and establish "werewolf concentration camps" indiscriminately, the "old world" she represented was marked at the meeting of the Major Arcana as having to be destroyed.

The defeated party has no room for compromise or turning around.

Over the centuries, the magical community has long come to the conclusion that werewolves are irreversible, incurable, and eternally dangerous creatures of darkness.

However, with the emergence of Elena and the addition of non-magical medicine, everything began to turn around.

They have found a variety of controllable and reversible healing paths...

When Elena described the future scenario to Dumbledore, even Dumbledore admitted personally that if the reversible problem of werewolves could be completely solved-even if there was only one way-then the attitude of the wizarding world towards the werewolves would also change.

Dramatic changes have taken place:

There is an essential gap in people's eyes between incurable terminal diseases and irreversible mutations.

Of course, it is still in the theoretical stage for the time being... This path of reshaping the body with the Philosopher's Stone cannot be considered a conventional method.

Salzburg therapists and Muggle medical experts are trying to locate "werewolf triggers" based on the clues of "bodily fluid transmission" and "lycanthropy". At the same time, they are also conducting microscopic research on "Wizard's Sorrow".

Positioning - When they find the operable "surgical range" in the field of "magic medicine", then whether it is "Wizard's Sorrow", "Wolf Syndrome", or even more diseases, there may be a victory that spans the ages.

"Hermione." Elena said softly, touching Miss Justice's thigh.

"What's wrong?"

"Don't ask questions in this class."

Her eyes stayed on Miss Beaver's stubborn eyes for a moment, and she shook her head slightly.

"If we can't win in one blow, then this will turn into a long tug-of-war - implementing personal justice is easy, but pursuing justice in the absolute sense requires enduring pressure and suffering...

…Don’t delay the dawn of those who died along the way.”

"I know, I'm just a little-"

Hermione lowered her eyes and looked at the ferocious werewolf roaring and roaring in the iron cage in the newspaper.

As the "Reserve Major Arcana", Hermione had seen his information in the report submitted by the investigator "Codename-Beetle":

Jonathan is one of the community maintainers of Castle Combe in the Cotswolds and the only "doctor" in the werewolf community.

Due to her ugly appearance and ease of control, she is now being held in the underground interrogation room of the Ministry of Magic. As a photo subject for the Ministry of Magic's external publicity, in exchange, Umbridge promised to provide other "controlled werewolves" with the most basic "medical protection" -

—Of course, verbally.

Those community members imprisoned in the "werewolf concentration camp" only received raw meat and bread, which was slightly higher than the standard for sending wild dogs.

Hermione's eyes were dazed for a moment, and the photo of the doctor in a white coat that she saw in the file vaguely flashed back to her.

"...uncomfortable."

"Well, don't worry, there isn't much time left for her."

Elena slowly flipped through the book and looked around at the excited little wizards.

Gustave Le Bon's "The Crowd" describes a social psychological characteristic: under certain inducements and instigations, people may often appear "blind", "impulsive" and "fanatic" after gathering in groups.

, the characteristic of "gullibility" - forming the so-called "crowd".

Since ancient times, countless rulers have tried to establish and consolidate their own rule and interests based on this characteristic.

However, this is a very sharp double-edged sword - and it only gets sharper as time goes by.

When people find out that they have been fooled, they will madly seek revenge against the "liar" in order to prove their innocence.

Umbridge, who was standing on the podium at this time, obviously did not realize that she and her "high-ranking officials" in the Ministry of Magic were actively walking into the grave.

"Quiet, I think now the students have realized how amazing the Ministry of Magic's daily work is."

Umbridge said in a cooing voice, a trace of color appeared on her pale and drooping face, and she put on a false smile.

"In terms of combating black magic and maintaining social stability - I am not questioning the teachings of other professors - I think that perhaps they will ignore certain essences based on their respective positions and limitations. The focus of defense against black magic is not magic spells.

Above all, it’s about uncovering those bad guys..."

"Well, there is some truth to this statement." Hermione raised her eyebrows and murmured in a low voice.

"——Professor Lupine, Professor Dumbledore thinks very highly of you, so I think we can skip the red hat content and start with some more dangerous, hidden, and important content. Yes, we are going to do it today

The content of learning is——"

Umbridge quickly flipped through the book "Dark Powers: A Guide to Self-Defense" until she reached the last chapter, and spoke softly with a smile.

"——Werewolf."

"Now, open "Dark Power: Self-Defense Guide" and turn to page 394!"

Umbridge looked around the classroom and said with suppressed pleasure, showing the small and sharp teeth in her mouth.

"I hope you can take this course seriously. Even if the Ministry of Magic is working hard to 'eradicate' those dangerous dark creatures, no one can guarantee whether there will still be fish that slip through the net. Even in Hogwarts Castle, it is best to

Don’t let your guard down at will——”

The whole class exchanged looks with fear and excitement, and followed Umbridge's instructions to open the textbook.

"So, who can tell me how to distinguish werewolves from real humans?"

Most of the students sat silently, motionless. Usually only Hermione and Elena could answer this kind of question.

However, to everyone's surprise, Hermione and Elena did not raise their hands this time.

The only raised arm in the classroom is another person's.

"Mr. Malfoy?"

Umbridge raised her eyebrows with interest.

She knew the boy who raised his hand, Lucius Malfoy's son.

"Compared with ordinary wolves, werewolves in animal form have slightly shorter muzzles and slightly smaller pupils, making them look closer to humans."

Draco Malfoy obviously did not expect that he would be the only one to raise his hand. He looked nervously at the two witches at the table in front of him.

"In addition, the hair on the werewolf's tail will become tufted, and it will attack humans unconsciously. In the untransformed time, they will look like ordinary people, but they will appear older, and as the full moon approaches,

And he looks pale."

"Um……"

Umbridge glanced at the textbooks spread out on the desk, a trace of surprise flashing in her eyes.

"Very accurate and wonderful explanation. Please sit down, Mr. Malfoy. Five points from Slytherin House!"

Compared to the Muggle-born Miss Granger and the questionable Miss Kaslana, Draco Malfoy is obviously the natural helper for the Ministry of Magic to "run" Hogwarts. Originally, Lucius just mentioned it casually.

That was a sentence, but now Umbridge began to think about this issue seriously.

The "Disciplinary Committee" system proposed by Professor Dumbledore is very interesting, maybe she can do something about it.

Of course, even if the headmaster rejects this proposal, the Ministry of Magic can still take the opportunity to plant "eyes" among the students.

As expected——

"...memory method? It's really good."

At the same time, Hermione glanced at Elena who nodded slightly, and sighed with envy.

Now of course she knows the essence of the "Lockhart Memory Method" - using memory magic to implant knowledge, just like the carvings on the tree trunk, which can be touched and sensed at any time, and Draco Malfoy is that "

Initiation" observers.

However, as time goes by, this memory inheritance has exposed many problems, so that it cannot be promoted on a large scale for the time being.

The most fatal thing among them is undoubtedly the huge burden and pressure that "false" memories put on the wizard's body and spirit.

On the other side, Dolores Umbridge's teaching continued.

"As I said before, the werewolf is not a human, it is an evil monster that is half man and half beast - more accurately, its deceptive human appearance makes it more dangerous. Never go

What do you believe in 'good werewolves'? In front of us wizards, werewolves may be friendly like normal people, but the evil deep inside them is irremediable, just like wild dogs on a leash in front of people."

Umbridge said with a smile, but her toad-like eyes were full of indifference.

"Under the latest regulations, any wizard can use all magic spells when encountering a werewolf - unless it gives up resistance and accepts control."

"But werewolves also transformed from humans, right?"

At this moment, a somewhat unexpected voice suddenly sounded in the classroom.

Professor Umbridge raised her eyebrows and said calmly.

"In my class, students must raise their hands first if they want to speak, Mr. Potter——"

"professor."

Harry said and quickly raised his hands.

Professor Umbridge smiled more kindly, and her bubbly eyes stayed on Harry for a while.
