Chapter 7: Muggle Studies

The Muggle Studies classroom was on the sixth floor, and he had hardly come to this floor except for the occasional tryst with Hermione in the prefect's bathroom—there wasn't much on this floor anyway, just a bathroom and three small messy classrooms. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Pass by the statue of Confused Boris, the third door on the left. The door next to it opened slightly, and it could be seen that there was a utility room inside, and Phoenix saw a flying broom from the last century.

"Hello, Professor. Without hesitation, Phoenix pushed the door open.

"Oh," the man was startled, "Hello, come and sit down." ”

At this time, the class bell just came to mind.

The professor tucked away a book called "A Brief History of Time" in a drawer. Phoenix sat directly at the desk in front of him, and he was alone in class anyway, sitting there alone with the professor.

"You can call me Professor Alex, I'll be your future Professor of Muggle Studies. He leaned casually against the podium and looked at Phoenix curiously, "You've probably noticed that not many people take this course, and you suddenly took Muggle Studies at this grade level—to be honest, I was surprised and a little puzzled." ”

"My fiancée is Muggle-born, and she wants to please her future father-in-law - you know. Phoenix feigned embarrassment and said with a slurrel.

That's all he can say. Otherwise, what should I do, saying that I came to this class to establish the dominance of wizards, to establish an independent country belonging to wizards, and to establish the independence and freedom of wizards. This is Grindelwald's political philosophy, and this teacher is not familiar with it, if it is preached that the hero who defeated Voldemort is a believer in Grindelwald's philosophy, then there will be fun.

"Haha, there yours. Professor Alex laughed, "That's a good idea, you're going to impress her, and that's how I did it to my wife—oh, let's get down to business." ”

"Just the two of us, don't be so restrained, just sit casually. You can sit however you like, and I won't interfere. In my class, throw away all this red tape. Alex sat on the podium with his hands on his buttocks, his legs shaking.

"Oh, really. Phoenix was not polite either, and immediately changed to his favorite sitting position. He summoned another chair, put his feet on it, and slid his body down, almost half-lying down to talk to Professor Alex.

If it had been in Professor McGonagall's class, he would have turned into some kind of mollusk.

"That's right," he said casually, "the Muggle Studies course, the OWL level is primarily designed to train qualified employees of the Ministry of Magic, so it focuses on Muggle lifestyles, customs, and general knowledge. The NWET level, like other NWET courses, is quite difficult and difficult to master. Usually people who are committed to being a Muggle studies scholar read, but in my special case, I'll just start the current course, I don't know if you can accept it?"

"Yes, no problem. "Honestly, I don't have much to talk to my father-in-law." I didn't understand what he said, he couldn't understand what I said. Like the Falkland Wars, the economic crisis, the Gulf War or the hope that Labour would come to power – what is Labour, a kind of cabaret troupe?"

Of course, this was not what Mr. Granger had told him, but what he had seen from the Muggle newspapers.

"No, that's a political force. Left-wing parties, whose members are generally working and middle class. There are no workers in the wizarding world, and there are no political parties, which is a bit cumbersome to explain. ”

Professor Alex said distressedly.

"What do your girlfriend's parents do?"

"Dentist?" Phoenix said uncertainly.

"They're the most troublesome. Alex looked at Phoenix with a pitiful look, "It's very troublesome, they're usually the kind of people who have a decent status among Muggles, have education and knowledge. They will ask all sorts of bizarre questions, make things difficult for you, or ask you about your origins, your family's finances -- even if they don't understand it, they want to be superior to us. ”

"They're fine, at least my father-in-law and mother-in-law. ”

"Lucky kid. He said, "So, I'll give you some common Muggle entertainment." You can basically deal with them by talking to them first, and then letting you know some Muggle politics and economics. ”

"Alright," he said enthusiastically, jumping off the podium and pulling a camera out of his dragon purse, "Hogwarts can still use a hand-cranked camera, I recorded the movie." ”

"Movies, I know. "Phoenix does know that Hermione told Harry Black a few years ago when she gave him a will.

"Really?" he wasn't too surprised, "the movie is literally ours—recall." That is, the use of the Pins memory ball for non-official use. But our recollection is a historical film that has been carefully edited. For example, professionals who are proficient in the receptivity of the gods bring up the memories of several people who participated in a battle at one time and carefully edit them into very artistic memories. There are many companies in Europe that specialize in letting people with good memories watch pantomime and opera, and they are selling their memories into Pince-style memory balls. ”

"It's inspired by the invention of the Muggle, the movies! Of course, the cost of retrospective is high, and it's not as common as it is - for now, I've heard that some American wizards are trying to improve the Pince memory ball and make it cheaper. Muggles do not have the ability to read their memories at any time. But they were clever enough to come up with a way to record the sound and video and watch it at any time. Movies also became a popular pastime adapted to the needs of Muggles. ”

He walked through the aisle between the seats, all the way to the back, expertly put the film in, and unconsciously raised the corners of his mouth, "This is my favorite movie, called "Independence Day." Another day, you can invite your parents-in-law to visit. ”

He waved his wand, and a white curtain fell in front of the podium, and the machines behind him began to work automatically, as if an invisible man was shaking its handle.

"No sound, but definitely worth a look. Alex sat down next to Phoenix with great interest, dancing excitedly as the heavy curtains slowly fell.

It can be seen with the naked eye, a thick beam of light is projected onto the screen, and then a picture appears. I have to say that the picture quality is not high, the lens is always shaking, and occasionally there are some unknown lines and spots.

"Excuse me, what is this movie about?"

"It's a fantasy movie about a giant alien -- a life form outside of Earth. They came to Earth and released more than 30 small spaceships, which stayed over several major cities in the world, causing panic among people. The President of the United States and Muggle leaders from all over the world discussed a solution, but the result was a great defeat. Ultimately, the protagonist fights for the fate of humanity in order to stop the alien invasion and defend the story of the earth. ”

"I'm looking forward to it. "Phoenix thinks things are a bit paradoxical.
