Hogwarts and the Atypical Wizard

Chapter 185: Uncle Ben

Harry Potter once again experienced the ill will of his students, as people were whispering that he was the heir of Slytherin.

Sainz once met him on the path to Hagrid's hut, and he said he remembered what Sainz said before the summer vacation. "You said I don't have to worry about being rejected by others anymore. Now it seems that you are wrong."

"Haha, that's true. You have the title of savior, so your every move will be watched by others."

Harry got anxious and complained, "That wasn't what I wanted to do! Oh... I'm sorry, Sainz, I shouldn't have lost my temper with you!"

"It's okay. Everyone has troubles sometimes. What about the other two? Don't you always show up at the same time? Did you have a fight?"

Harry was a little embarrassed, "No, I just... I just want to be alone for a while."

"Really? You avoided your two closest friends.

Why would you be willing to tell me then?"

"I don't know, Sainz, maybe... because I think you might understand a little bit... After all, you once told me, 'When you harm their interests, they will target you, and when you do something they can't do, they will come to flatter you...' I think, I kind of feel that..."

"Do you feel that people change too quickly and are not firm at all?"

"Yes, that's the feeling, but..."

"But, that's what people are like, Harry. That's what ordinary people are like. Most people just follow the crowd. There are even many people who don't even follow the crowd. They are just having fun. In fact, they don't care whether these words will cause trouble to you."

"But this is not right. ... Um... how did you overcome it?" Harry seemed to expect him to have some secret. "Well, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to pry, but a lot of people were talking about you at that time..."

"It's okay, Harry. Just be frank. A few months ago, many people were discussing my skipping a grade. Some people even thought that I had used some despicable means. I received several Howlers..."

Speaking of Howlers, Harry probably thought of the one Ron received at the beginning of the school year, and his face became very embarrassed.

Sainz didn't care, he continued: "I destroyed these obviously malicious things directly. I knew that there would be no warm greetings in them, so I certainly wouldn't rush to listen.

After the holidays, there were still people who tried to send me curses in their letters. I sent all these letters back the way they came. It's not difficult. As long as you give the owls some benefits, they will be willing to help you."

Harry probably thought of the scene where the owner of the evil curse was cursed himself, and couldn't help laughing, "Hahaha..."

"Look, Harry, it's actually that simple to deal with. For those who want to hurt me directly, I will fight back directly. But for those wizards who just want to express their disdain or just isolate me to express their dissatisfaction, it's very simple. Just isolate them directly."

"I'm sorry, Sainz, I don't understand. When you said isolate them, do you mean isolate yourself from everyone else?"

"Right! Well, it seems a bit arrogant to say that I isolate myself from everyone else. You can also understand it as ignoring them."

Harry seemed to understand a little bit what Sainz wanted to say, and he murmured, "Isolate everyone else..."

"Harry, think about it, who has helped you when you needed help?

Who is the first person that comes to your mind?"

Harry looked up at Sainz, "Who's the first person you think of?"

“Yes, when you need help, how many people do you think of first?

No need to say it, but are there ten?"

Harry said dejectedly: "...No!"

"Don't be embarrassed, I think most people don't have ten." Saien said frankly, "Believe me, Harry, I will only have less than you.

You see, we live in this world, and we are so isolated and helpless! Everyone is like this."

Harry seemed a little incredulous, "But I noticed a lot of people have a lot of friends?"

"Harry, that's all an illusion. If a person is good friends with dozens of people at the same time, then the real situation is that he doesn't have a single good friend!

You may not understand what I said, or you may think that what I said is wrong, but it doesn’t matter.

But you have to admit that most people don’t have a lot of friends, right? "

Harry noticed this as well and nodded in approval.

"You see, the social circle of most people is actually only that big. Most of the other people are actually irrelevant and are just background figures."

"I know the background board," Harry said. "I'm in Dudley. Dudley is my cousin from my aunt's side in the Muggle world. When Dudley is not monopolizing the TV, I've watched some TV series that use some unimportant characters..."

"Yes, you understand it very well."

"Thank you, Sainz. You want to tell me that except for a limited number of people, most other people are just background boards. They are not important to us, and how they think of us is not important either."

"Yes, Harry, there is no need to worry about the opinions of unimportant people, it will only make you fall into self-doubt.

Harry, don't dwell too much on meaningless relationships. They are ineffective social interactions. They will only dilute your energy and make you ignore the people and things that really need your attention. "

"Saens, um...can I ask you more questions in the future?" Harry's expression was a little nervous, like a stray cat waiting for trial.

Who says the savior is just the useless man behind Hermione? This keen sense of grasping the key points is something that an ordinary twelve-year-old child does not possess.

Sainz did not embarrass the child and said happily: "Of course, Harry, I think we have always had a pleasant communication, right?"

Harry relaxed and smiled widely, "Yes, we had a pleasant conversation."

"Are you feeling better now?"

"Much better, thank you Sainz, I know what I should do now, I'm sorry, but I have to go back to the castle."

"Well...well, true close friends are very rare, Harry, you are not alone!"

Harry nodded heavily, thanked Sainz again, and ran happily towards the castle.

Sainz continued to walk slowly towards Hagrid's hut. When he was almost there, he looked back at the castle and saw two other figures running out from the direction of the castle in the distance, and they met Harry head-on.

The three of them seemed to say a few words, and then walked away together, talking and laughing.

"Hagrid, Hagrid, what have you been doing lately? Why are you nowhere to be seen? Didn't Lu Wei leave a long time ago?"
