Chapter 51 Inspiration From Hermione

Old Dumbledore stood up, walked to the coat rack to retrieve his hat, and turned back before leaving: "These are also one of the reasons, and you are both smart and cunning, but you have a heart to fight against the dark forces."

"Uh..." Chen Bin looked at the closed door, not knowing what to say.

He thought Old Dumbledore would say that he was attracted by his lack of pursuit of power and fame! You know, Old Dumbledore used this sentence to deceive Newt Scamander to fight against Grindelwald in the 1920s.

What? Who is Newt? The author of "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them", the great man who got the first generation of Dark Lord Grindelwald imprisoned in New York, and then stole the Blood Pact from him, allowing Dumbledore to have a peak showdown with the first generation of demons.

"So being a policeman will give you the Philosopher's Stone?" Chen Bin thought to himself and immediately overturned this nonsense. Dumbledore's last sentence already gave enough hints: being able to see through the future and longevity are only one of the reasons, and he is also smart and cunning.

Then, he understood what Old Dumbledore meant by not saying anything else.

Dumbledore was worried that no one would be able to fight against Socket Nose after he lost the chess game, so he wanted to find someone who was long-lived and understood the future direction, and this person had to be as cunning as Socket Nose in addition to being smart.

Most importantly, this person had a heart that was bright.

That is to say, Dumbledore was not optimistic about the reckless man who only knew justice, the smart man who didn't use cunning tricks, the hard-working man who couldn't see the future, and the short-lived but perfect man. With that said, Chen Bin understood why Dumbledore was not optimistic about the high-level officials of the Ministry of Magic.

The previous ministers were also very smart, otherwise they wouldn't have defeated all their opponents.

Fudge worked very hard and was very talented in economics, especially in the past two years, the economic plan was much better than the previous minister, but he was at most the Minister of Economy, and was not suitable for being a wartime minister.

The successor Scrimgeour was a righteous reckless man, and he was short-lived.

Then, Thicknesse was a puppet minister.

The next one is Kingsley, who should be closest to Dumbledore's requirements, but now he is just an ordinary Auror, and he doesn't know how to use cunning tricks in the story.

The next one, uh... is Hermione Granger, who is still in the second year.

So, Chen Bin guessed that Dumbledore pushed Fudge to the position because he knew that only this person could quickly restore the livelihood and economy of the wizarding world. When it was confirmed that Voldemort had returned, the Minister of Economy had to be replaced by the Minister of War, but unfortunately he died in the war soon after.

Dumbledore knew that he was not good at economics, but he was playing a big chess game during the war and had no time to be a minister. Therefore, he lost the move of the Minister of War and could only see if the only chess piece could kill the opponent.

Now, there is one more Chen Bin, but he is not regarded as a chess piece by Dumbledore. Instead, Dumbledore frankly stated the reason for choosing him, implying that if Harry also failed, it would depend on whether he was willing to take over the chessboard. He has not forced Chen Bin yet, purely depending on his willingness, or continuing to observe his performance.

However, Chen Bin firmly believes that the old man just wants to sow more seeds, and maybe these seeds will kill the Dark Lord in the end, rather than the chess pieces controlled by him.

"Can I really do it?" Chen Bin smiled bitterly. He knew his own situation.

After coming to this world for so long, he always hoped that he would have an invincible plug-in like the fan fiction that Isha mentioned. However, he thought too much. If the Nama family had a plug-in, Isha, this silly girl, would have been a peerless strongman long ago.

Chen Bin did practice both magic and martial arts, but his cultivation in both was not very good. His magic combat power was at most equal to that of a newly recruited Auror, and his martial arts combat power was still a little behind that of an adult clansman. No matter which combat power he used, he was not an opponent to Lucius in the original book, let alone Professor McGonagall or the more terrifying Voldemort.

In terms of magic power, except for unlimited blue slots, he had nothing else to say. It took him 8 years of practice to be considered a very good level among N.E.W.T.s graduates, but normal wizards also studied for seven years! Therefore, he would regard his talent as mediocre, not bad, nor good.

The talent of martial arts practitioners is just the opposite. If you don't use the blood-charming spell to recharge the Qi tank, the amount of Qi will not increase naturally. It is completely paid for. However, it is easy to learn the moves and practical skills, but the low amount of Qi now limits his further practice. At least in actual combat, it is easy for adult martial artists to use up his Qi after a few hits, and there is no effect of sparring.

October is here, and the castle in the mountains has become cold and damp, and many students have caught a cold.

When Chen Bin was struggling to wear a mask in class to avoid being infected, Madam Pomfrey finally invented the long-famous "ear spray steam medicine". Throughout October, you will see students with flushed faces, and their ears will recover automatically after two hours of steam spray.

Chen Bin saw that this potion had great potential, so he bought the formula from Madam Pomfrey. After the workshop produced it, the net profit was divided into 50-50, and this funny scene was promoted throughout Europe, and even sold to small markets such as the United States, Canada, Australia and New Zealand.

A day of hard work finally came to an end. Chen Bin stood on the corridor and looked at the mountain view in the distance. He finally made it through the two classes of Divination!

According to the plan, he would at most be a repeater in class, or call on students to read the text aloud. He was an unnecessary mascot.

However, he was too naive!

Trelawney had not recovered from the blow of the bet, so she had not made a scene yet. The real ones were the senior girls.

Chen Bin's height did not mean that he would look mature. The senior students saw that the pink little brother became a professor and began to tease him in class.

If you don’t believe me, you can think back to those tall students in the first grade of junior high school. They look like 175cm tall men from behind, but they look like children with hair just growing on their lips from the front. No matter how mature they pretend to be, the older sisters can tell at a glance.

Chen Bin is in this awkward situation now.

If he doesn’t skip a grade, Chinese students usually start the first grade of junior high school at the age of 12, but British students start the first grade of junior high school at the age of 11, because they start primary school at the age of 5.

That is to say, Chen Bin would only be in the first grade of junior high school in China now. He grew up so fast thanks to adequate nutrition, daily exercise, and the abuse from his grandfather, and it just happened to be Chen Bin’s growth period. Otherwise, if he grew normally, he might not even reach 160cm by the end of this semester, but now he is already 171cm.

Now, the senior girls are just having fun watching him.

The handsome brother who is taller than them, graduated early from the first grade and became a professor, but his face is still childish. After a month of classes and getting familiar with Chen Bin’s temper, they started to play some bad jokes with double meanings.

Seeing the cunning in their eyes, they were sure that Chen Bin, a little brat, could not understand their secret words.

"Bin, what are you looking at?" A tender little voice sounded from his ear.

Chen Bin turned his head and saw Hermione leaning on the parapet with both hands, turning her head and staring at him steadily, and it seemed that she had been looking at him for a long time.

"Where are Harry and Ron?" Chen Bin looked around and saw no other students.

"Them?" Hermione said unhappily: "Ron wanted to borrow Harry's Nimbus 2000 to ride, so the two of them rushed to the stadium to test it out after school. They are just children who never grow up."

Seeing that Chen Bin did not respond and his eyes were still looking at the mountains, Hermione felt that he was worried. "Aren't we friends? You can discuss something with me!"

"You can't solve it." Chen Bin replied while looking at the mountains.

"Do you underestimate me?" Hermione said angrily with her hands on her waist.

Chen Bin stared at her for a few seconds, and soon gave in, telling her the whole story.

As expected, Hermione had a black question mark on her face. She could only understand the literal meaning. It was obvious that she was not old enough to understand the clichés.

"Although I don't understand why you have questions after hearing those questions, you are a professor, you can punish them with rules!"

Hermione's unintentional answer suddenly made Chen Bin discover a new world. "Yes, no matter whether they are male or female, they will remember it after being punished 180 times."

He fell into a thinking error. In fact, regardless of gender, anyone who disrupts the classroom order can be severely punished! How he tortured the cadets in the police academy in his previous life, he can now torture students in the same way, regardless of the difference between men and women.

"Thank you, Hermione." Chen Bin became confident again. From then on, the young professor of Hogwarts suddenly became a strict instructor.

"You're welcome." Hermione blushed and said shyly: "Are you going to the new teaching building too? Why don't we go together?"

"Okay."

Hermione didn't know that she had personally released a devil instructor.

A week later, Chen Bin's Divination became the most orderly class in the castle. Every student sat straight and raised their hands before speaking, and then said "Report to the superior". This scene scared away many senior students who were watching the fun.

After the martial arts activity ended one day, Harry came over shyly and said embarrassedly: "Bin, are you free on the Halloween party?"

Chen Bin rolled his eyes at him. All teachers and students would be there that day, so how could he be free?

According to the principle that something must happen around Halloween, he quickly remembered what happened on that day.

After Harry attended the 500th anniversary of Nick's death, he was the only one in the corridor who heard a strange voice saying something about cannibalism and wanting to eat. He followed Hermione and Ron and found that Mrs. Norris was petrified.

Later, in Lockhart's "Dueling Club", he spoke to the snake that Draco had transformed and realized that he was a Parseltongue, and then guessed that the monster that petrified Mrs. Norris was speaking Parseltongue.

The thought flashed through his mind for a moment, and Chen Bin said, "I'm free, what's up?"

The three suicidal people also gathered around and started telling stories.

Two days ago, after Harry finished Quidditch training, Filch caught him with mud on his body and made the corridor dirty.

When he was punished in Filch's office, Nick, who was almost headless, instructed Peeves to throw a large wardrobe outside and lead Filch away.
