Hogwarts, where the stars shine
Chapter 141, preliminary arrangements
After the members of the Runes left, only four people remained in the secret room behind the portrait, Mesa and Lilia, Gascoigne and Gemma Farley.
The four people who stay in the room will be the core of Rune Snake in the future, but whether Gascoigne and Gemma can truly integrate into Mesa's small circle is still unknown.
Mesa, who was sitting on the chair, crossed his legs and tapped his thighs rhythmically with his fingertips. In his mind, he replayed the member meeting just now and recalled the performance of everyone present.
"You have a good idea, Gemma," Gascoigne said, "but you shouldn't have done that just now. Your rudeness will only cause unnecessary disputes. It's too immature. You can be more tactful."
In Gascoigne's view, Gemma Farley's performance just now was a little too hasty, and Clermont and Cooper's concerns are not unreasonable, and their objections are also for the good of the group.
But Gemma Farley didn’t think so. She said: “Paul, this is our biggest problem! Maybe it’s because we have been in a disadvantaged position that we become as timid as we are now.”
Caution is essential, but excessive caution is not a good sign.
Thinking too much will make you hesitate, miss opportunities, and lead to a more difficult decision.
Gascoigne sighed. How could he not know the problem Gemma mentioned?Hesitation is a stumbling block on the road to success. Gascoigne also tried to make changes, but everyone has long been accustomed to this.
"We have missed many opportunities, and we cannot continue to miss opportunities." Gemma Farley said while looking at Mesa, she saw in Mesa an opportunity for progress.
"Well, it's time to make changes!" Gascoigne said, "But it can't be you or Mesa who says 'change'. It's all up to me to push forward."
Gascoigne plans to take up this matter and prevent everyone's dissatisfaction from falling on Mesa and Gemma.If there is any resistance, just direct it at him, since he is graduating anyway.
"Why are you two so obsessed with changing everyone at once?" Lilia asked, "There's no need to do that."
Both of them looked at Lilia and heard her continue: "We just need to be the leader and guide them in their direction. We are not mothers, so why should we take everyone's feelings into consideration?"
Everyone is an independent individual and has thoughts different from others.
Instead of trying to force others to change their minds, it is better to produce results yourself first. Catching up is not a business.When you achieve success, others will naturally follow suit and take the initiative to change their previously solidified ways of thinking.
Just like the development of Quidditch.The successful holding of a competition changed the development of the entire project.
In 1269, the Snidget (a kind of bird) first appeared in a Quidditch match, and since then the Snidget has been associated with Quidditch.
If the Snidget's appearance had not improved the game in any way, this close connection would not have been created, the Quidditch game might not have become popular, and the Snidget would not have become an endangered species.
This is true for sports, and it is also true for wizards.
As long as "change" can bring "improvement", other people will actively seek change to make themselves better.If this kind of "improvement" is blind, you can't even let him make changes.
Gascoigne and Gemma Farley were lost in thought at the same time, thinking about the problems that had arisen in them.
There is such a big difference in the ideas between the two sides. In the final analysis, it is because of their different positions and different perspectives on the runes.
For Gascoigne and Gemma Farley, the runes are important to them.But for Lilia, this student group is dispensable.
The difference in importance is not 01:30, it is completely different.
The reason why Lilia joined the Runes was entirely for Mesa.
If Mesa were to leave this student group one day, Lilia would leave immediately without any reluctance in her heart.
Father, like son.As a bystander, Lilia's view of the runes is obviously more intuitive and more suitable for the actual situation at this stage.
The way of getting along has remained unchanged for many years. The members of Rune Snake have long been accustomed to discussing, discussing, and being cautious.To change this status quo in a short period of time requires not only time accumulation, but also an opportunity as the beginning of change.
Just like after the Golden Snidget became a protected species in the mid-14th century, people had to find a replacement for the Golden Snidget and had to make changes.Failure to accept this change will result in the Quidditch project becoming obsolete.
While most people were looking for another bird to replace Gold Snidget, only Bowman Wright took a different approach and had an idea that was different.
This craftsman from Godric's Hollow is the maker of the Golden Snitch.
He saved the endangered Gold Snidget, allowed Quidditch to continue, and greatly enhanced the viewing experience.
Before that, the audience at the scene needed to continuously cast repelling spells to force the Golden Snidget who wanted to escape to return to the field.After a game, sometimes the audience is more tired than the players.
The addition of Mesa is an opportunity for Rune Snake to change; the four people left in the room are the leaders of this change, like Bowman Wright of Godric's Hollow.
"I think you're right, Lilia." Gascoigne said, "Change... starts with me and Gemma. We realize that Mesa's joining will bring about changes, but we still retain the old way of thinking. .”
"I was too anxious and always wanted to do something." Gemma Farley said. She looked at Gascoigne intently. She wanted to make Runes better before he graduated.
At this time, Mesa stood up, and the sound of the chair interrupted the two people who were reflecting on themselves.
"Paul, I'll leave the application form and member list to you. Professor Snape should take a look at it," Mesa said. "Let's put this matter into effect first and let the Rune Snake come to the forefront."
Time waits for no one.Now that you have decided to join the Runes and change the status quo of the group, seize the time and take action.The sooner you complete your preparations, the sooner you can move on to the next move.
The rune snake that Gascoigne and Gemma Farley valued was just one piece of Mesa's overall plan, an important early guinea pig.
A Slytherin house couldn't satisfy Mesa's appetite.Before graduation, Mesa wants to spread his influence to three other colleges.
"Don't worry." Gascoigne said, "The application form and preliminary list will be given to you tomorrow morning. If anyone joins later, it's just a matter of filling in a few names."
Mesa nodded. Gascoigne's mobility was exactly what the runes lacked.
"Gemma, you go coordinate the members' after-school time and fix the meeting time." Mesa said, "We need to make the Runes' activities more formal."
"No problem, I can also help Paul count the list." Gemma Farley said, she is a straightforward girl and does not like to be sloppy.
Seeing that both of them had tasks, Lilia pointed to herself and asked: "What about me? What about me? When you go to find Professor Snape, I can only stay by myself, which is very boring."
"You are responsible for helping Paul and Gemma." Mesa said, "Learn more, watch more and talk less."
Lilia puffed her lips. Although she was a little dissatisfied with the chores, she still agreed and did not act petty just because she was close to Mesa.
"One more thing. While avoiding Adjani, help me make an appointment with Veranika alone. I need to have a good chat with her."
Lilia's eyes instantly brightened, and she puffed up her chest with satisfaction.In her opinion, meeting Veranika is much more interesting than doing odd jobs.
The four people who stay in the room will be the core of Rune Snake in the future, but whether Gascoigne and Gemma can truly integrate into Mesa's small circle is still unknown.
