Chapter 150 Your arrogance is even more terrifying than theirs (Ch 150)

The two of them, along with Dobby, returned to Kaysen’s office at Hogwarts.

“Lupin, wait a moment. I’ll take Dobby to Dumbledore’s office.”

As Kaysen took Dobby away, Lupin also looked at Bruce who was drifting on the ice track.

………………………………….

“Dumbledore.” Kaisen pushed open the door of the headmaster’s office. Dumbledore was studying a cup of strawberry milkshake.

“Oh, Kaisen, it seems that the matter was resolved smoothly.” Dumbledore said, giving half of the milkshake to Kaisen: “Try it.”

“Um, I can’t. I’m here to recommend a house-elf to you.” Kaisen said as he stepped aside, revealing Dobby who looked a little embarrassed.

“Oh Dobby, I remember you, you are the house elf of the Malfoy family.”

“Dobby is no longer the Malfoy family’s house-elf. Dobby is free now,” Dobby explained.

“Oh… I almost understand. You need a job?”

“And it’s a paying job,” Kaysen added.

“That’s no problem. What is your expected salary?” Dumbledore nodded.

“Um…I don’t know, Headmaster.”

“Hmm…how about ten Galleons a month?”

“Ten Galleons! No, that’s too much.”

Kaisen rubbed his ears helplessly after listening to Dobby’s harsh voice for a moment.

Dumbledore looked at Kaisen and spread his hands innocently.

“So… five Galleons?”

Kaisen sat on the sofa in the corner and slowly made himself a pot of tea. After the tea was finished, the negotiation between Dumbledore and Dobby about salary was finally over.

In the end, Dobby happily went to the cafeteria with his monthly salary of four Galleons, while Dumbledore wrote down [—500 Galleons] on the monthly bill of Hogwarts with great interest.

“Let me guess, this was Harry’s idea,” Dumbledore asked.

“Yes, Dumbledore, what do you think of those pure bloods?” Kaisen nodded and asked back.

“……fools, there are some smart ones among them, but those smart ones don’t have good vision.” Dumbledore said.

“Mind mentioning a few typical examples?” Kaisen asked.

“Typical… I’ll use the Weasley family and the Malfoy family as examples. I’d like to call the Weasley family smart. They see clearly that wizards and Muggles are a community, and they are very willing to accept Muggles, and Muggle wizards.”

“The idiots are the Malfoy family. They are a little clever and have stirred up the magic world in history. They have escaped the fate of being liquidated every time. However, this can only be regarded as cleverness. The truly smart people try their best to avoid their families from participating in those fierce power struggles, but they always participate in them and never get tired of it.”

“But both have one shortcoming, arrogance.” Dumbledore said, took a sip of milkshake, and then shut up.

“………….Why don’t you say anything?” Kaisen asked.

“Why didn’t you ask me?” Dumbledore snorted.

“………….Okay, great Headmaster Dumbledore, what happened next? What is this so-called arrogance flaw that they all share?”

“I didn’t hide my words. I just said the superficial arrogance. I won’t talk about the Malfoy family. The Weasley family, on the surface, is very friendly to Muggles, but they still built the Burrow in the wilderness, far away from the Muggle world.”

“If nothing unexpected happens, they probably don’t have the money to buy a house in the Muggle world.” Kaisen complained in a low voice.

“Listen to me.” Dumbledore said seriously, “The Weasley family is now poor, but when Arthur and Molly first got married, their financial situation was not tight, but they still subconsciously believed that wizards and Muggles should not live in the same place.”

“Secondly, Arthur really likes all kinds of mechanical creations of Muggles, but in fact, this is just a one-sided liking. Arthur uses his magic to disguise some scraps of copper and iron as Muggles’ mechanical creations, but he is unwilling to communicate and learn with Muggles in person.”

“In fact, he has communicated. Ron often told me that Arthur Weasley couldn’t walk when he met Muggles, and asked all kinds of questions…” Kaisen complained mercilessly again.

Dumbledore took a deep breath and said, “You say it or I say it!”

“You tell me, you tell me.”

“What I mean by communication is systematic learning with Muggle professionals, mechanics, engineers, and auto repairmen, rather than using magic and alchemy. He naturally believes that Muggles’ creations are just good ideas, but their technology is not as powerful as his magic.” Dumbledore explained again.

“Oh…I understand now.”

“You too, Kaisen,” Dumbledore continued.

“ah?”

“I mean, you have that arrogance of having magic, too.”

“Me too?”

“Didn’t you study the magic seed before and want to put it into practice? Why do you assume that people who know magic are definitely better than ordinary people? Why do you assume that everyone will like magic? This is the kind of arrogance.”

“And your arrogance is different from the arrogance of Weasley and Malfoy. Their arrogance is like the arrogance of a stranger. Weasley thinks he is better than Muggles, so he doesn’t need to learn Muggle technology.”

“Malfoys think they are superior to Muggles, so they look down on and even belittle Muggles.”

“Your arrogance is the arrogance of a parent towards his child. For example, regarding magical seeds, you want everyone to have magic, but do they really want that? You are making decisions for the Muggles.”

Kaisen nodded in sudden realization: “I understand…”

“In a sense, your arrogance is even more terrifying than theirs, because their abilities are nothing more than a few Muggles being looked down upon or being pranked.”

“But what about you? To be honest, if a person as powerful as you accidentally goes astray and no one is watching you, the damage you will cause to the world will be more than even ten Toms can do.” Dumbledore added.

Kaisen nodded like a chicken pecking at rice: “I know, I know. Please don’t chase and kill me anymore.”

“….By the way, why are you asking this?” asked Dumbledore.

Kaisen took out a teaching plan from his ring: “The little things I learned when I first attended the alchemy exchange.”

As he said this, he handed the lesson plan to Dumbledore.
