CHAPTER XIV

Perhaps for most people, the study of magic is not as interesting as imagined, but Zhang Xiao enjoys it, and even the history of magic, which all students find the most boring and painful, he finds quite interesting.

However, it is undeniable that the history of magic is indeed difficult to remember accurately, unlike the history of China, the group of wizards is too small, and the history of China is too long, so long that a short sentence in the history book is a wonderful life of a person.

Therefore, the history of wizards is mostly composed of precise people and events, which seems scattered and redundant.

For example, the second goblin rebellion, if it is a habit of historical records in China, it may be a certain year and a certain month, where there was a rebellion, who the imperial court sent to deal with it, and if there was nothing worth recording in the history books, most of the time it would take to quell the rebellion, and what the final result was.

And the history of magic is recorded like this, xxx year xx month xxx day, what weather, in the village of Hogsmeade, a goblin named Sloppy Ghost Lala and a wizard named What name quarreled over something.

The goblin spat on him, and the wizard looked at it, "Yo, you little man still dare to spit on me?" So he educated the goblin with a mouthful of old phlegm by virtue of his size, and the goblin was not convinced, and jumped up and hammered the wizard's knee.....

It's always a lot of detail and detail, which leads students to keep track of a lot of names, times, and places (right to a bar).

In addition to purely theoretical courses such as the history of magic, the professors did not start in the first class, but talked about the theory and foundation of each course.

It is worth mentioning that I don't know if Zhang Xiao's memory was wrong or what's going on, Professor McGonagall's first class was all about classroom discipline and theory, and there was no Harry Ron being late, and there was no classwork of turning matches into needles.

However, he has explained the basic deformation law of Gamp many times, anyway, after listening to it, Zhang Xiao has only one idea.

The wizard's magical power may not be very strong, but the effect is simply outrageous!

Go to the law of conservation of energy!

Because of the course arrangement, Zhang Xiao and Harrow did not have many opportunities to meet, and the two did not have Malfoy's human navigation, and they were always on the way to find a classroom.

The only two or three meetings that could only be said in a hurry, that is, Harry and Ron always looked at him with concern and sympathy, and did not forget to shout and cheer loudly as they left.

Another thing that Zhang Xiao didn't expect was Malfoy's attitude, he still remembered that on the day of the opening ceremony, Brother Tu was still walking and seeing, sooner or later, there will be an arrogant appearance of eating your good fruit, but when he woke up, it was completely different, although it was not enthusiastic, but it was also peaceful coexistence.

If you have to find one word to describe it, it is 'ignore', the whole Slytherin is like ignoring Zhang Xiao's existence, and will never take the initiative to say hello, but as long as Zhang Xiao speaks first, there should be a lot of etiquette.

That night, after attending astronomy class, Zhang Xiao was really curious and wanted to ask a new Slytherin student, but the little wizard named Davis just looked at him with frightened eyes, and ran away as fast as a frightened rabbit (Note 1).

Isolate me? Zhang Xiao shook his head secretly, isolating a person is not like this, it is a kind of all-round isolation, how can it be like himself, he can still get an absolutely polite response when he greets, and what is the use of Slytherin isolation, the little wizards of other academies are still quite enthusiastic about Zhang Xiao, after all, as long as you follow him, you don't have to worry about Peeves coming to mischief.

Even a few of the little wizards in Gryffindor smiled at Zhang Xiao, thinking that Harry, Ron, and Neville had helped him say good things about Gryffindor.

That's what a good friend is!

Zhang Xiao shook her head and returned to the common room, only to find that Davis, who had just spoken to her, was hiding in the corner and sobbing quietly.

Just like a normal person would do when he saw his classmate crying, Zhang Xiao walked over and asked:

"Dude, what's wrong? Need help? ”

Davis shuddered suddenly, shook his head frantically, and sobbed in a wince:

"No.. No need for me.. I'm fine. ”

"If I were you, I wouldn't have lowered my identity to talk to the Mudbloods."

An arrogant voice came from behind him, and Zhang Xiao knew who it was without looking back.

"Mudbloods?" (Note 2) Zhang Xiao narrowed her eyes slightly, if she was a person from a community elementary school, she had already begun to think frantically about whether she didn't say that sentence correctly, which made the crazy Zhang angry.

"Oh yes, you're Chinese, you shouldn't understand what mudblood means." Malfoy had his hands behind his back, a malicious smile on his pale face, still followed by Crabbe and Goyle.

He walked up to Davis, lowered his head and looked down at Davis, who was trembling, and said softly:

"The mud species is born in a Muggle family, and they are extremely lucky to have a magical talent, but even this talent still can't change the fact that they are born low!"

Malfoy looked at Zhang Xiao, his face flushed slightly from fanaticism:

"Even the Sorting Hat can occasionally go wrong, and noble Slytherin isn't the place for the Mudbloods.

He's defiling this great college! ”

"You did it?" Zhang Xiao pointed at Davis, who was trembling.

Malfoy was stunned for a moment, then said with a reserved smile:

"Of course not, as a 'king', you still need to teach a mudblood? But he's right to be punished for talking to you. ”

king? Zhang Xiao thoughtfully continued to ask:

"Malfoy, what happened that night of the opening ceremony."

Crabbe replied sullenly:

"Draco was supported by all the pure-blood families that night to become the leader of the first year."

Goyle then added, "The half-breed got down on one knee and polished Draco's shoes with his sleeve, and the mudbloods were hung in the door of the bathroom and the cold wind blew all night!" ”

Malfoy glared at the two henchmen fiercely, then enthusiastically stretched out his hands, a smile on his face:

"Zhang, join us, although I don't know much about Ling's family, but my father said that you must be from a noble family and are eligible to enjoy the glory of pureblood!"

I see! It's all understood.

Whether in her past life or in this life, Zhang Xiao is no stranger to school bullying, and sometimes the degree of campus bullying makes Zhang Xiao, a person who has seen a lot of dark sides in society, shudder.

In the community primary school, Zhang Xiao beat up all the bullies who dared to do it, and it was his existence that gave many children who were originally bullied a relatively healthy growth environment, and also made many people like him and respect him wholeheartedly.

This also made Zhang Xiao understand a truth:

Strength is far more powerful when used for protection than when it is evil!

Even in China, where the day school system is the dominant and the dual intervention and control of home and school, school bullying is not uncommon, let alone boarding schools in Europe and the United States?

Hogwarts is like a small society, and it has long ceased to be a school

Zhang Xiao suddenly shuddered, "Harry Potter" is a children's book in his eyes, a sub-oriented novel full of friendship, love and growth.

The law of the jungle, survival of the fittest!

It's not warm at all, it's not friendly at all, and Slytherin is a collective bullying and oppression of a small number of people!

Newt Scamander, Myrtle, Severus Snape, Rubeus Hagrid, and even Hermione Granger, Neville, these are all names that have been victims of school bullying!

It was also at this moment that Zhang Xiao felt that the world in front of her was no longer a novel movie game in her memory, it was so real!

So... Reality!

Seeing Zhang Xiao standing in place expressionlessly, Malfoy stepped up his efforts:

"Come, join us, the glory of pure-bloods will be with you, and those lowly half-bloods and mudbloods are only worthy to prostrate at the feet of purebloods!

We are the true heirs of Salazar Slytherin! ”

Note 1: Tracy Davis originally designed a list of 40 for Rowling, most likely a half-blood or Muggle-born wizard

The original text does not explicitly state that Slytherin probably has an unspoken rule for selecting year leaders, that is, each grade elects its own "underground prefect", and by the time of the fifth year it automatically becomes a prefect.

Note 2: The insult of the word mudblood is not easy to understand if it does not live in that context.

It is an extreme insult, and the Chinese will go up and slap you twice at the cost of losing money, but recently the law and order law seems to have been amended, instigating, insulting the other party to cause the other party to lose their minds and take the initiative to attack, not to beat others.
