Chapter 327, Article 1: New Graduation Rule! Eradicating the Root of Dark Wizarding!
Dudley certainly wouldn't wipe out the stubborn pureblood snakes right now.
Otherwise, what he cast before wouldn't have been a trace, but a curse.
He is a very tolerant and patient person.
They won't easily resort to violence.
Unless the die-hard pure-blooded snakes do something suicidal.
However, we can't just let them take advantage of us.
Now that they dare to stand up and block the process of Hogwarts' ideological education reform, if we don't put some pressure on them, they'll go completely out of control.
Furthermore, Dudley took the opportunity to bring up the new Hogwarts graduation system.
His ideological and educational reforms at Hogwarts were not only aimed at resolving the SSS-level special regrettable incident of Hogwarts' pan-consciousness, but also at ensuring lasting stability and vitality for the wizarding world.
Therefore, it's impossible for Hogwarts to allow seventh-year students to graduate directly after taking the NEWT exam, regardless of their results, as it used to be.
Regardless of the graduates' moral character, magical abilities, or combat prowess.
They simply go through the motions of an exam and then send the young wizards, who are about to come of age, into the adult wizarding society of the magical world.
In a sense, this is the root of the chaos in the magical world.
Inside the auditorium.
After Dudley finished his series of threatening questions, which frightened Obselli so much that he slumped back into his seat, the stubborn pureblood snake was in a state of panic.
At the faculty and staff seating area, some professors couldn't help but frown and whisper among themselves.
They agreed with Dudley's new rules, but Dudley's aggressive and menacing attitude made them slightly uncomfortable.
But it was only a little bit, and they quickly adapted.
As the school year has passed, Dali's straightforward and outspoken personality, which dares to be ruthless in public, has become well-known to everyone.
The students from the four colleges below the stage had similar reactions and thoughts.
Moreover, students' emotions are simpler and purer.
The students who had taken Duli's courses felt only slightly uncomfortable after hearing what he said, but did not develop any negative feelings towards Duli.
Because Dudley, though sometimes even more scathing than Professor Snape, is stricter with them.
But he genuinely wanted to help them become stronger, and he was thorough in every aspect, teaching them according to their individual aptitudes and providing meticulous guidance. He greatly improved their mental fortitude and magical skills.
Moreover, Dudley was currently targeting the stubborn Slytherins; the students from the other three houses didn't like them at all.
However, judging from Dudley's words, is there going to be a change in Hogwarts' graduation system?
This is very important news and deserves the attention of all students.
"Everyone, please be quiet!"
At this point, Dumbledore stood up and spoke to comfort him.
He won't compromise again and again like he used to. Now that he's reached an agreement with Dali, the new system must be implemented, no matter what obstacles he encounters!
Dumbledore continued, "The new rules for the House Awards that Assistant Professor Dursley just announced are not only Assistant Professor Dursley's idea, but also mine."
These three new rules are the result of careful consideration and thorough deliberation, and are beneficial to Hogwarts and the entire wizarding world.
Mr. Obselli Avery's questioning of the Dursley teaching assistant was unfounded.
Furthermore, starting this academic year, Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry will undergo significant reforms to its graduation system. The specific details of these reforms will be announced by the Dursley Assistant Instructors.
Dumbledore silenced all the noise in the Great Hall with gentle but forceful words.
He then sat down again and handed the speaking rights to Dali.
The stubborn pure-blooded snakes completely resigned themselves to their fate, daring not to make any further statements. They all lowered their heads and acted like quails, but couldn't help but secretly raise their eyes to observe how things were developing.
The other students then turned their attention to Dali.
Everyone is incredibly curious about the new graduation system.
Dudley scanned the room once more, this time fixing his gaze on the thirty-odd students who had not yet passed the four ideological tests of the Sorting Hat, lingering on each for a second or two.
This gaze sent chills down the spines of the thirty-odd die-hard members of the Snake, Lion, and Eagle academies.
"To all of you who haven't passed the Sorting Hat test yet, are you sweating because you're scared? Or worried?"
Dali spoke again, asking a question he already knew the answer to in a calm tone, which intensified the psychological pressure on these die-hards.
Then, without waiting for an answer that would never come, he began to offer words of 'comfort':
"Don't be afraid, I won't cast a spell on you now, and don't worry, you're destined not to graduate this year."
Despite Dali's words of "comfort," the thirty-odd die-hards were not comforted at all.
Instead, the anxiety that had been building up inside me completely died.
Dali glanced past these small, potentially curable malignant tumors and looked directly at the students below the stage, slowly uttering a few words:
"The first new graduation rule: Starting from this academic year, any student whose moral character fails the Sorting Cap test will not be able to graduate!"
After stating the first rule, Dali paused slightly, then continued in a passionate and resounding tone:
"The reason is simple: I don't want it, Headmaster Dumbledore doesn't want it, and I believe all the faculty and staff, students who yearn for stability, and all the wizards in the wizarding world who long for peace don't want a new dark wizard to graduate from Hogwarts and wreak havoc on the wizarding world!"
From this moment on, Hogwarts will no longer be a breeding ground for dark wizards, but only a cradle for white wizards!
These words stirred the emotions of everyone present, except for the die-hards.
After a few seconds of build-up, Hogwarts Great Hall erupted in thunderous applause and cheers!
“Well said! Assistant Professor Dursley! That’s exactly how it should be!”
"If only things had been like this in the past, my ancestors wouldn't have been killed by Death Eaters!"
"Support! Absolutely support!"
"..."
Most of the students stood up and shouted out their truest feelings.
No one raised any objection.
All of them are supportive.
Those thirty-odd die-hards wished they could disappear into the ground and erase their presence entirely.
They were genuinely afraid that their excited classmates would mistake them for dark wizards and punish them on the spot.
Dumbledore and the other faculty and staff were also infected by this atmosphere, and they all stood up and applauded together.
The excited atmosphere in the auditorium took a long time to subside.
Dali stretched out his hands and pressed them down lightly, signaling everyone to be quiet.
After everyone was seated again, Dali looked at the thirty-odd die-hards once more.
They found that most of these people were lying on the long table, not daring to look up at anyone, and some even wanted to crawl under the table.
