Chapter 118: Hermione's Changing Image and Carl's Confused

Time always flies so fast, and a month has passed since the holiday.

Generally speaking, during this period, the British wizarding world was in turmoil, but at Hogwarts, everything was normal and peaceful.

Now the discussion about Headmaster Dumbledore in the British wizarding community has reached a fever pitch.

Both sides continued to debate and express their views in the Daily Prophet, and the language used in the debate was more restrained than before.

It became increasingly sarcastic and even vulgar, and there was a sense of the first "Great Debate" in the British wizarding world.

Dumbledore also became a little anxious from his initial calmness, especially when the old man found out that he had so many black fans in Britain.

Professor McGonagall, who had become very depressed and already knew the truth, had approached Carl several times.

He wanted the other party to clarify the truth immediately, but Carl refused on the grounds that "the old man's reputation is not bad enough."

The successive blows made Dumbledore refuse to see Carl again until Carl passed by the headmaster's office one day.

I accidentally left my membership cards of several of the most famous candy stores in the Muggle world in the principal's office.

This made the sulking old man reluctantly accept the current situation.

On the other hand, Professor Snape still acted as Dumbledore's black glove, accompanying Harry and Ron, playing the boring savior game.

And today, in the auditorium.

Carl stared at Cedric, who was eyeing the steak cake on his plate.

While listening to Miss Beaver's account report, he gave her the notebook after she finished her report.

He solemnly handed it back to the other party, but when the other party was about to take it away, he was reluctant to let go.

Looking at Hermione whose temperament had changed drastically, Carl said with some concern.

"Dear Miss Granger, I suggest you read some of Hegel's or Plato's philosophical theories."

"There are many academic works on economics. You can learn about them. There is no need to pay so much attention to Nietzsche's philosophy."

He said this not because of Carl, who had nothing to do, but because of Hermione in front of him.

Her temperament and style are completely different from the girls I knew before.

Hermione used to be a typical "white left" thinker, with a missionary-like sense of responsibility towards everyone.

She would constantly and desperately instill her ideas about studying hard and abiding by school rules into the ears of people she was familiar with.

They will not hesitate to step forward to stop all unfair and unjust things, and have a natural sympathy for the weak.

But now Hermione has not only changed a lot in appearance, but her previously messy long brown hair has also been combed neatly.

A high ponytail paired with a pair of frameless titanium alloy glasses not only enhances the temperament, but also gives people a sense of distance and coldness.

When it comes to how she treats her classmates, the difference is even greater. She no longer helps her classmates tirelessly and unconditionally as before.

He also became indifferent to the current situation of the house-elves and those who spoke ill of him.

Just smile calmly and say something like that from time to time.

"There are three levels of human spirit: camel, lion and baby. The first level is the camel, who endures humiliation and bears heavy burdens, passively obeying the arrangements of others or fate."

"The second level of lions turns passivity into initiative, from "you should" to "I want", I take the initiative to fight for everything and take the responsibility of life."

“But I am now in the third realm, a baby, a state of ‘I am’, living in the present moment and enjoying everything that is now.”

Such philosophical words always made the students confused, but they did not dare to say anything bad to Hermione.

But unlike other people who were completely unable to understand this situation, Carl could be sure that this was what Hermione said after communicating with him.

After the world view and values ​​are shattered, the huge psychological gap leads to an extreme psychological transformation.

If Hermione before was a naive idealist, then now she is an individualist armed with philosophical ideas.

Sure enough, as Carl expected, Hermione did not accept Carl's persuasion without any doubt as she did before the holiday.

She just took her notebook back forcefully, then looked at Karl calmly and spoke.

"Mr. Hohenzollern, there is no need to worry about my changes. I know what I am doing."

“You have your way, I have my way. As for the proper way, the right way, and the only way, there is no such thing as a proper way.”

"But fortunately, our ideas are the same. Different means and methods do not affect our cooperation."

"As long as your fundamental goal remains unchanged, we can still work together, and I will continue to learn and ensure that I am professional enough."

"I will never hold you back."

These words were said with such determination, and combined with Hermione's current appearance, they could be described as heroic.

The innocent little girl Hannah and a group of Hufflepuff little girls were completely fascinated by her.

Seeing Karl’s eyes twitching wildly, but it didn’t matter. It was a good thing to attract some bored eyes.

Just before Hermione left, Carl placed a small Hermès sachet in front of the girl as promised.

The girl's eyes were a little vague at that moment, but after hearing Karl's words, they became cold again.

Karl pointed at the bag and said lightly.

"Okay Miss Granger, I respect your idea. This small bag is not an ambiguous gift. It is a magical product."

"Some traceless expansion spells have been cast inside, so the space inside is much larger than you imagined."

"Through some channels, I was able to obtain many works on economic philosophy and management that were not available on the market."

"I think you would like it, since you are willing to take this path, to become more professional as you said."

"Of course." Hermione picked up the bag, snorted and turned away.

Looking at the other person's back, Karl still felt a little strange.

He turned to look at Cedric, who was about to do something to his steak, and asked with some confusion.

"Why do I have a feeling that Hermione is angry with me? Did I do something wrong? Or is it the way I speak and act?"

"So annoying?"

Cedric, who was asked the question, first seemed a little frustrated because he couldn't secretly eat the steak.

Then he looked at Carl and said with some regret.

"Of course not, Mr. Hohenzollern. You are so professional and brave, and so considerate. How could anyone think that you are inconsiderate of other people's feelings?"

"He is a stubborn, unreasonable, and even a little slow-witted guy, don't you think?"

Hearing this, Karl kept nodding at first, but he quickly reacted, grabbed Cedric's collar, put his face close to him and stared at him and asked.

"Are you scolding me? When have I ever been inconsiderate to you? Is it wrong to do this for your own good?"

Just like that, the two most eye-catching boys in Hufflepuff house were once again face to face.

All the students ate quietly, as if they were used to it. After all, if someone just wanted to disturb them,

He will definitely be scolded by the group of girls watching.

Until a cold voice came.

"Am I not here at the right time? Mr. Hohenzollern, it seems you have other things to do."
