Chapter 61 Club Speech
While most people were just giving it a try, thinking that if it didn't work out, they would just give up, Ryan began to speak: "I have something to say, please listen carefully."
The crowd quieted down, wanting to hear what Ryan had to say.
Ryan said, "Some of us come from wizarding families, and some of us come from ordinary families, but we are all students of Hogwarts at this moment."
"We learn knowledge; some to study magic, some to gain power, and some to enhance their reputation."
"The fact that we are gathered here at this moment shows that we are all outstanding, talented, and different from others. Precisely because of this, we cannot expect an easy path."
"Because a smooth road is a road that has been trodden by people and is suitable for ordinary people to walk on."
"And we are adventurers, pioneers, the true Hogwarts!"
Hearing this, everyone was slightly moved, because no matter what grade or college, teenagers always have a desire to be different from ordinary people.
And now someone of sufficient stature has affirmed them.
"Some might ask, if there's an easy path to take, why bother traversing all these obstacles?"
"Not just because we can gain fame, respect, power, money, and status."
"These are all secondary; I don't think people are that superficial."
Many people wanted to chime in: "We are just that shallow. Please use power, money, status, and ruthlessness to humiliate us!"
"More importantly, because the challenges are there, and we can't ignore them," Ryan continued.
"Back in the early days, when the four founders established Hogwarts, the wizarding world was still in chaos, and wizards were being persecuted and forced to wander. However, with the abilities of the four founders, it would have been very easy for them to live peacefully."
Why did they found Hogwarts? Why did they keep fighting off the dark wizards among the students? Gryffindor fought their whole lives, and even after leaving, Slytherin continued to protect Hogwarts in their own way.
"Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff took great care of and educated the young wizards."
"That's because! The persecuted young wizards are right there, and they can't ignore them!"
"And looking at the present, why did Headmaster Dumbledore step forward when Voldemort was sweeping the world? He could have easily stayed at Hogwarts and remained unscathed."
"But he stepped forward and became Voldemort's most feared person. Was it because he liked to fight?"

"Because Voldemort is persecuting wizards, he can't ignore it!"
Ryan had intended to mention the Dark Lord's two major mishaps, but before the words could leave his lips, a sudden thought struck him. Considering that the content of this speech might be leaked, and to prevent Dumbledore from coming to his door in the middle of the night to invite him to practice spells, he abandoned the plan.
He felt that one should not use a person's most painful memories as a source of pride.
But none of the people present made that connection.
They were just deeply moved. In fact, those senior wizards from wizarding families spent their childhoods in constant fear. A shadow called Voldemort loomed over their heads, and the slightest mistake could lead to the destruction of their families.
It can be said that without Dumbledore, they would have faced a life of perpetual darkness, and their lives under the rule of the pure-blood supremacy ideology might have lasted only twenty or thirty years.
Some of the pure-blood families present here have also joined the fight against Voldemort, and they will face Voldemort's torture.
The only one among them who once believed that Voldemort should rule the wizarding world has now abandoned his evil ways and joined a more benevolent group of adventurers.
Malfoy gave the Death Eaters a genuinely contemptuous smile.
Ryan slammed his fist on the table and stood up: "The forefathers stepped forward, and thus Hogwarts and generations of young wizards grew up safely; our teachers stepped forward, and thus we grew up safely. And now we are Hogwarts!"
"Now we don't need to fight a life-or-death battle with organized crime. We just need to use our efforts and wisdom to make our lives better!"
Should we give up?
Do they ignore our loved ones and friends, living in a stagnant magical world?
Think of our family and friends, who only receive our letters after a long time.
People are like isolated islands, relying entirely on owls to maintain communication. But the time it takes for these islands to communicate is far too long, so long that we cannot wait.
Who hasn't wanted to vent to their parents? Who hasn't had secrets they wanted to share with their friends?
Must we continue to wait anxiously and hope for a reply, just like before?
Should we ignore the problems we've already discovered and let something that was meant to drive change die in its infancy?
Or are we suggesting we should ignore the fame, reputation, and respect we're about to gain?
Let's become ordinary wizards ourselves?
Can we give up?
Actually, I'm just kidding. It's a new, groundbreaking product that's shaking up the industry's economic interests. This is truly a fight to the death.
But it's not a big problem, I can handle it.
Ryan maintained his impassioned tone while glancing around and slowly observing each wizard present.
He almost started making a peace sign and then yelled: Never!
He resisted the urge: "We cannot give up, we should not give up, we will never give up!"
"Young people who haven't been injected with adrenaline are so easily swayed," Ryan thought to himself. Talking about dreams with young people born in 1991, comparing them to great figures, and making them believe that the future of the wizarding world is right in front of them is enough to satisfy their vanity and confidence, and to stir up their enthusiasm and passion.
But if it were seasoned veterans, he would change his approach to one that was closer to the tragic experiences of real life, making them personally realize that this was wrong and that other methods were better.
For example, I could talk to the seasoned veterans about salaries, families, and how our society needs a revolution, needs to open up upward mobility channels, and needs to channel wealth into the hands of those who should have control over it. Perhaps I could give a speech at the Leaky Cauldron or the Hog's Head, and casually discuss the class conflict between pure-blood families and ordinary wizards.
Let's talk about butterbeer, which might go up to fifty gallons a glass?
Isn't this a bit too much of a blow to purebloods?
As Ryan thought this, he heard the Gryffindors shouting, "Never! Never!"
"Very good, the little lions are going wild—" he smiled at Percy and the others.
Ravenclaws and Hufflepuffs have lived in an environment of high respect and trust for Lane for many years, resulting in a high level of trust and affinity.
Vio of Slytherin has always been Ryan's stalwart, and Malfoy has already helped transform him into Vio's shape.
Therefore, when someone takes the lead, the crowd begins to echo and create a commotion that shakes the world.
Outside the door, Dumbledore, who wanted to come in and hear what Ryan would say at the club, slowly withdrew his hand that was about to knock, and silently left, worried.
