Chapter 1725: Poor Dobby
"You're talking so much to get me out?" Elaine asked, narrowing her eyes.
Discovered?!
Even if the other party is Elaine, he will not believe that "reading comprehension" is a kind of advanced magic.
However, Ai Wen didn't talk all about it, at least as far as he knew, in the distant eastern wizarding world, magic schools would systematically train wizards to master reading comprehension skills, and even researched and invented a lot of spells in this field, it is said that because their level exams for wizards are usually based on written exams, and the test papers are very difficult, and there are large paragraphs of magic analysis questions that exceed practical application, if you can't quickly figure out what the questioner says, it will be difficult to pass the wizard level exam.
Therefore, reading comprehension skills play a big role in this purely theoretical test.
Another reason is that the ancient civilizations of the Eastern magical world are usually too old.
The magic books and materials they have left behind are recorded in the ancient magic scripts and writing methods of the past, and they are also very esoteric and difficult to understand, and only those wizards who are very proficient in ancient magic texts, ancient history, Chinese studies, and reading comprehension can understand the true meaning expressed in those ancient magic books.
So, reading comprehension is a really important skill, both for Muggles and wizards.
As for Elaine's question, Evan thought about nodding and replying yes, he wanted to get the kid out now.
However, he was very suspicious that if he really said that, he might not be able to get rid of Elaine's trouble for a whole day.
"Elaine, I'd love for you to stay and help. Evan said insincerely, "Hermione and I both thought so. ”
Behind hermione, huddled on the couch, snorted heavily, as if in protest against Aven's words.
Ai Wen pretended not to hear, and he quickly pulled the topic back, "You can stay, as long as you want, I will teach you to learn reading comprehension, the same as Occlumency, this magic ...... The first thing you need to do with skills is to concentrate, you need to read a book carefully and be patient. ”
"Even if that book is boring?"
"That's right, even if it's boring, you have to read it as much as you can. Evan nodded and said, "This is the first step to mastering reading comprehension, if you promise to stay, you have to do it, don't make trouble, don't make noise, don't use the magic you just used just now, sit quietly in your seat and read, can you do it?"
"It's hard to say!" Elaine replied after a moment of serious thought, "if you can give me five bloody lollipops, I think I'll be patient." ”
"I can only give you one, eating too much sugar is not good for your teeth. ”
"No, at least five, you haven't given me candy since the day before yesterday!"
"Because you yourself shouted that you had a toothache. Evan said.
"This is a very red flag. Hermione interjected without raising her head, "Evan is right, Elaine, you have to control the amount of sugar you eat, Merlin is on top, you simply ate too much sugar, I haven't seen you stop all summer." My father told me that if you don't clean your teeth in time and not properly after eating sugar, the sugar in your mouth can easily turn into acids and cause corrosion to your teeth, so I think ......"
Hermione said as Evan nodded to Elaine.
Elaine opened her mouth, seemingly not knowing how to contradict Hermione, she didn't even know what an acid was.
Countless experiences in the past had taught her that it was best not to debate Hermione at this time.
Otherwise, the results are usually not too good.
Elaine didn't speak, but stretched out her small outstretched hand to Aven, made a menacing slap gesture, and made a "five" gesture.
"No!" Evan mouthed and pressed her fingers down one by one.
It was hard to do that, because Elaine looked at Evan with teary eyes, fighting silently, as if he had done something cruel.
Then, after Evan struggled to turn Elaine's little hand into a fist, she finally relented.
She held up three more fingers and made a coquettish gesture begging for mercy.
Completely ignoring Elaine's aggrieved appearance, Evan firmly pressed her finger down again.
"You have to listen to Hermione, Elaine, her dad is a dentist and has a lot of say in that. Evan said.
"What is a dentist?" Elaine wondered.
"It's a Muggle profession similar to the healers at St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Injuries and Injuries, healers who specialize in treating teeth, and they're experts in it. Evan continued, "If you have worm teeth, do you know how Muggle healers treat them? ”
"Tooth extraction?!" Elaine's eyes widened, "Why are they doing this?"
"Because dentists believe it's the most effective way to treat a broken tooth. Hermione said.
"It's horrible!"
"Surely you don't want to have your teeth extracted, do you?" After receiving an affirmative answer, Evan continued, "So, I can only give you a bloody lollipop, and this is for your own good, you can finish it here, and use this one by the way...... Well, "Singing Against the Tune" to practice reading comprehension. ”
"Aren't we looking for information about the home of the house-elves? What's in 'Singing the Odds?'
"Mr. Lovegood has gathered a lot of information, and maybe it has what we need. Evan said that he didn't think that there would be any information about the house elf home in "Singing Contradiction", but at least this magazine would not be so boring and could make Elaine quiet for a while.
"Well, thank you for "Singing Back". Elaine resigned herself to the magazine, "Give me the candy ......"
At this moment, the voice of Dobby, the house elf, sounded from above, and he seemed to be running down the stairs.
"Young Master Aiwen, Young Master Aiwen......"
Hearing Dobby's voice, Elaine's eyes lit up and hurriedly said, "I think I can go up there and read this magazine and let Dobby ...... with me"
"No, Elaine!" Evan shook his head in refusal, "You just watch here, don't go anywhere." Don't think I don't know what you're thinking, I already knew about you secretly asking Dobby to go to Hogsmeade last semester to buy you candy. You're not allowed to do that in the future, and you have to pay back Dobby for the candy you paid for it, which is his salary. ”
Hearing Aven's words, the smile on Elaine's face froze, and her expression was quite surprised, "How do you know this, this is obviously a ...... between me and Dobby"
"Dobby is an honest house-elf who never lies. Evan complimented, looking at Dobby, the house-elf who appeared at the entrance.
"Hmph, but he promised me not to tell anyone else. Elaine said angrily, she flicked her wand hard, and the magic book floating in the air lost control and fell down heavily, burying Dobby, the house-elf who had just run in, underneath, "I'll give the money back to the house-elf who went back on his word, my uncle is right, this creature can't be trusted at all, it's not that I don't give money, it's just a few days to owe......"
